SATOLLI'S HONORS.
Distinguished Preate First Apostolic
Delegate to the United States.

Cardinal Satolli the distinguished
prelate of the Roman Catholic church,
was born in Marsciano, archdiocese of
Perugia, July 81, 1889. His family
was a noble one of very ancient line
age.
His success in difficult research first
won for him the regard of his great
friend, the late Pope Leo.
Completing his studies, Satolli was
assigned to the faculty of the College
of the Propaganda and in an unusually
short time became professor of theolo-
gy and philosophy. The work of teach
ing and the opportunity for study and
research appealed strongly to Satolli,
and if he had been guided alone by his
own inclinations he would have pre-
ferred to remain teacher but the
church had need of him outside Of the
class room, and after a few years he
was made archbishop of Lepanto and
then sent to America by Pope Leo
XIII. to represent the Vatican at the
Columbia exposition.
He remained as the first apostolic
delegate to the United States. The
clerical work connected with the ad'
! ministration of the church in America
had heretofore been in charge of the
propaganda, which has superintendent
Il all missionary countries. When the
Catholic body in missionary country
Is of q size to warrant the change the
propaganda hands over its powers ano
duties to that body itself. If the pope
has treaty relations with the particular
country, as In France, a nuncio from
Rome resides at the capital. but where
no treaty relations exist, as in tho
United States. the pontiff is represent
ed by delegation. such as Mgr. Sa
tolli established at Washington.
Just before coming to Washington
| Archbishop Satolli had been made
president of the Academy of Noble
| Ecclesiastics. one of the greatest posi-
| tions in the ecclesiastical world o.
Italy and of the Roman Catholi'
| church. On the heels of this grea
honor came the appointment OF Satoll
as apostolic delegate to the Unite'
| States, and only comparatively shor
| time after this came the news that Sa
| tolli was to be made cardinal.
He was duly created and proclaime'
cardinal Nov. 30. 1895, taking It'll
from St Maria in Aracoeli After tn
i red hat had been conferred upon hin
Cardinal Satolli became prefect of tn
Sacred College of Studies and membe
of the Congregation of the Propa
ganda, Oriental Rites and Index.
Among all the offices held by Cardi
nal Satolli in his long ecclesiastica
career the one he recalls with til
greatest satisfaction is that of apos
tolic delegate at Washington. A It'll
not conferred on him by the church
but one which Is said to please hir
very much. is that of the America
cardinal" This title was bestowed o
him because of his intense and SINGER
love for the United States.

Chief Executive Apparently consid-
cred Probable Effcts Before Taking
Step.
Washington, Jan. 10.-Gifford Pin
chot, for years chief forester of the
United States, is private citizen, ap-
parently unconcerned and smiling, in
great contrast to the political ferment
in which Washington finds itself.
The summary dismissal conveyed in
the presidents letter in the closing
lines, "by your own accord you have
destroyed your usefulness as a help
full subordinate of the government and
it therefore now becomes my duty to
direct the secretary of agriculture to
remove you from your office as the
forester" has brought nothing from
Mr. Pinchot more than the simplest
statement Il would prefer to say moth
ing at this time" but political Wash
ington almost trembles to think what
may be the result.
Pinchot, in the opinion of many, be-
comes the pivot on which the insurgent
fight with the administration can turn
it's guns. The effect of Pinchot, the
personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt
and head champion of the Roosevelt
conservation policies, being ousted
from the official family of President
Taft is another phase of the conjec-
lures which fill the air. The effect OF
Pinchot's dismissal upon the congress
