Cardinal satolli Seriously III.

Rome, July 9.-The serious ill
ness of Cardinal Satolli is a matter
Of grave concern at present in Vati-
a %circules. For several years the
cardinal has been suffering from a
chronic ailment, which, added to his
age-he will be seventy years old
this month-renders his recovery
doubtful.
In the history of the Catholic
church Cardinal Satolli will forever
be remembered as the first papal
delegate to the United States. His
appointment to Washington in the
early '90s, as many will recollect,
was hailed with mingled feelings of
delight and disapproval i'm Catholic
ecclesiastical circles in the United
States and it is a tribue to Satolli's
diplomacy that the jealousies which
were aroused at first were soon dis

cluded his mission he had won the
esteem anr friendship of the leading
American church men.
Cardinal Satolli has long been
famous as one of the most learned
members of the Sacred College. He
was educated in the diocesan semi
nary of Perugia, then presided ove
by Joachim Pecci, Archbishop Of
Perugia, who later was to be called
to the chair Of st. Peter as Pope
Leo XIII. Surrounded, as he was,
with associations entirely ecclesiasti-
cal inthe university town of Perugia,
the trend of Satolli's mind from his
boyhood was in the line of priestly
vocation. His first ambitions reach
ing out for scholarly attainment
brought him under the scrutiny of a
teacher more then, ordinarily gifted
with scholastic culture in the di-
rection of theological knowledge. His
profound intellectual acumen en.-
braced the philosophical utterances
of the earliest fathers of the church,
notably st. Thomas Aquinas, the
theories of pagan teachers, and the
fundamental groundwork of all
theology as learned in the Gospel of
the ,Evangelists. With these indi-
vidual elements the jealous Arch
bishop of Perugia sought to bring
into the adjustment Of the popular
issues OF the day blended the teach
ings of the past. And thus early
Satolli grew in touch with the de-
sires of his illustrious teacher, and
his ambitious mind followed enthus-

young man, became at once one Of
the most conspicuous figures in the

a voluminous writer on theological
questions and his works have foun<
