COUSIN OF THE POPE.
He Is Priest in a Little Mining Viii.
lage in Maryland.
Father sartorl's Relations to Hi
kinsman Are Peculiar, for the
Church Has J. asst Suppressed
- 4 Book W. ltten BY Him.

When Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch Of
Venice, was elected pope and took unto
himself the title OF Plus x, his eleva-
ton made great and sudden change IN
the fortunes Of many. But to none was
it more .momentous than to Father
Luigi Sartori, village priest Of Midland,
q mining hamlet OF Maryland. ?
Father Sartori is the Pope's cousin, his
father having been a man of consldera-
BILE property in the little town OF Grigno,
near Venice, and having taken the
name Sartori to define from the poorer
branches of the family that chung to the
name Sartor, or Tailor"
And yet from the humble Sartors was
to come the familys greatest figure. a
pope! :.
1t is intimated that they will call
themselves Sartor as their fathers did
and as the pope does now, from this ON.
+, The New York Sun says that from an
obscure priest in the diocese Of Mary
land in one day Father Sartori became
4 person of importance in the Catholic
church of America AS youth he
was intimately acquainted with his
kinsman, who is now the pope, but, as
has been stated, Father Sartroi's branch
of the family was the weather. one. and
the fact of the pope being Father Sar-
tori's senior by eight years practically
precludes the possibility of the two
priests of the same family having been
schoolmates, as has been stated.
Father Sartorl for years has been an
advocate of the legal suppression OF
"round dancing" such as waltzes,
polkas, two-steps and the like. He has
been almost rabid upon the subject.
claiming repeatedly and publicly that
the modern dance was the cause of mod
ern immortality.
He embodied his views in a book
which he entities "The Evil of the Mod
ern Dance" The book was printed In
New York two months ago. In 1t Father
Sartori took occasion to denounce cler-
gymen who permitted dancing by men,

the technical literature of the railroad
profession.
In addition to the various Offices ha
has filled with the Pennsylvania system,
he has been an efficient officer OF the
American Railway association. For
two years he was president of this asso-
citation, and previously its secretary. A
few years ago he went to Paris as the as
sociation's representative at the inter-
national railway congress, which was In
session during the Paris exposition.
In 1895, when Mr.. Loree was superin-
tendent of the Cleveland & Pittsburg d.
vision of the Pennsylvania, it is said
he received a splendid offer from the
Erie to become it's vice president and
general manager. When it was learned
that Mr.. Loree had been offered SIS, 900
4 year to go with the Erie the executive
officers of the Pennsylvania company
declared that if the general superin-
tendent of the Cleveland & Pittsburg
was worth that much to the Erie he was
worth as much to their company, and
he was induced to stay, with the prom
Use of promotion. Only year after that
he was made general manager of the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg.
It is the opinion that Mr.. Loree will
make number of changes in the official
staff of the Rock Island. The manage
ment, owing to Mr.. Leeds i'll health, has
practically been in the hands of First
Vice President Warren, who has filled
most Of the important positions with
friends. There has been friction with
the Frisco management, which was not
satisfied with the Warren regime, and It
is said that Mr.. Loree's election to the
presidency Of the Rock Island was made
to please Mr.. Yoakum, the president Of
the Frisco, and also to create greater
confidence in Rock Island securities.
Col. Loree was asked whether his
leaving the Baltimore & Ohio for the
Rock Island indicated any transfer Of
control of the latter to the Pennsyi-
yania interests. He said:
1T does not. am going to serve the
interests of the present owners OF the
Rock Island. My reason IS purely the
personal one that there are opportuni-
ties in the new field. My relations with
my fellow-of1cials in the B. & o. and
with the people of Baltimore have been
very pleasant, and I regret that the
former are 10 be severed and that am
to leave Baltimore The Baltimore &
Ohio is a great property and has great
future. 1t is now coming into this fu-
ture."

G. Reid control the Rock Island. Mr..
Leeds health has been impaired for
some time, and for months rumors have
been in circulation that he intended to
resign the presidency of the road and
have a man elected who could give his
undivided attention to the active man

continue as a member of the executive

Mr.. Loree's election comes as a sur
prise. It was rumored some months ago
that he had been offered the presidency
of the Rock Island but 1t was then de-

Few railroad men have had 50 rapid 4

and has been in railway service since
1877, commencing as assistant IL, the
engineer corps of the Pennsylvania.
He has made phenomenal success on
the Baltimore & Ohio, of which he has
been the president less than three years.
Prior to accepting the presidency of the
Baltimore & Ohio he occupied the posi-
ton Of fourth vice president of the Penn
sylvania, in charge of the transportation
department.
His career has been characterized by a
thoroughness and close application to
business as we'll as by a personal and
painstaking supervision OF the details

he has been connected. He Is considered

valued at $50; pair of trousers, valued
at SIS, and some minor apparel.
For these he asked $25, but the pawn
broker, being an obdurate man and
close trader, offered Sill, which the sup
posed actor finally accepted.
1t was Tuesday night, says the st.
Louis Republic, that thief visited Otis
SINNERS apartments at the Planters
and Invested it of almost everything it
held of value. Mr.. Skinner placed his loss
at $500. At that time, he had forgotten
that the thiefs booty included an un-
opened package which contained Christ
mas presents, sent to him by Mrs. Skin
ner, who is in Chicago. There was one
piece of jewelry in the unopened pack
age for which Mrs. Skinner paid $500.
Detectives, on visiting pawnshops,
discovered part of the booty in Levy's
place and upon questioning him, the de-
tectiyes learned the story of the thief's
duplicity. He had represented himself
as Otis Skinner and the dealer, not
being acquainted with the personal ap-
pearance of the actor, believed his story.
The goods we're returned to Mr.. Skin
ner and the overcoat, which was the
only heavy one that he had in St. Louis,
was greatly appreciated. The articles
recovered, however, represent only
about one-fourth of the theft.
The register at the Laclede hotel
shows that No. 10 was occupied during
the early part of the week by one who
gave his name as Kerns. When the OIL
GERS visited the room they found that
Kerns had departed with bag and bag
gage. He had also forgotten to pay his
hotel bill.

attacked in the book laid the matter
before Cardinal Gibbons.
It is said that from Baltimore the
matter was referred to Rome. The
book was suppressed. 1t will never see
the light.
Father Luigi Sartori has much doc
umentary evidence Of his relationship
to the pope, but though he shows an
honest pride in the elevation of his
kinsman, he hastens to say that he has
not the remotest idea of asserting any
claim whatever to the favor of the pope
upon the ground of relationship, though
he will see him shortly.
Regarding the suppressed book he re-
grets that it did not get into circulation,
so that controversy might have been
started, as in that case he believes he
would have been upheld by the church
authorities.
He will resign his charge at Midland
in February, when he will start upon his
return home in the Tyrol. He will first
visit Rome and make a call upon his
cousin, the holy father, and renew the
acquaintance of years ago.

Some months ago he delivered an ami
mated sermon upon the immortality Of

Ministers of Cumberland passed reso-
lutions commencing him.
But Father Sartori, being man Of
action, did not stop at sermonizing up
on the subject. He wrote book. In it
he denounced the practice Of raising
money for the church by the indis-
criminate embracing of young girls to
the strains of seductive music. When
the book was suppressed he said:

A man of medium build, well dressed,
with hair bit sandy, and smoth shaven,

Haylin's theater, at st. Louis, and told
story that touched the sympathetic spot
in the pawnbrok>:r's heart.

would rather that you visit me at my
apartments in the Laclede hotel, where
you can see the apparel and Judge its

Levy, however, refused to visit the
Laclede, where the actor said that he
had room No. 10, so the patron suffered
the humiliation, and an nour later laid
on the pawnbroker's counter a heavy

Jefferson ~ an Inventor.

Not many people know that Thomas
Jefferson was a great inventor. His
inventions were all Of articles Of
everyday use. He devised a three
legged folding camp stool that is the
basis of all camp stools of that kind
to-day. The stool he had made for
his own use was his constant COM
panion on occasions of outings. The
revolving chair was his invention. He
designed a light wagon. A copying
press was devised by him and came
into general use. He also invented On
instrument for measuring the distance
he walked. A plow and a hemp culti-
vator showed that his thoughts were
often on agricultural matters. His
blow received a gold medal in France
in 1870. Jefferson never benefited
financially by his inventions, but be-
lieved they should be for the use OF
everyone without cost.
