that he is not a diplomat by trainin;;

the ambassadorship by political ma

VERY tourist from this side or
the Atlantic who has visited
Venice knows tho Sagrcdo Pal
ace, one of the most magnificent OF
those which line Tho Grand Canal.
The last of the counts OF tho ancient
house of Sagrcdo. which has played
so notable a role In the history or
Venice. a house which has furnished
pontiff TO the papacy and a saint
to the church. left IL on his demise
to his only child and sole heircss,
bona Maria Socalla. She has just died
without issue. and has left the Sngredo
Palace, rs we'll as her very largo for
tune, and all her art treasures, not to
the church. but personally to Cardinal
Aristides Cavallari, patriarch OF Ven
ice.
Cavallari was poor parish priest
at the time when Piux " became
Pope, and ono Of the first things that
the new pontiff did after his eleva-
ton TO the chair oi St Peter was TO
take advantage OF Father Cavallari's
visit TO Rome. 10 raise him to the rank
OF bishop and arch bishop, and to be-
stow upon him tho patriarchate Of
Venice, which he himself has Just va
Gated
Cavallari was taken completely by
surprise when the Holy Father dur
ing the course OF a private audience,
Informed him Of the honors In store
for him. and at first pleaded to be al
lowed TO remain on as a mere parish
priest at Venice. declaring that he was
so poor that ne had no means whatso-
ever of maintaining the dignity, not
even of defrayinE the expenses incl
dental to his conservation admitting
that his entire fortune consisted or
something under $40
PuX y. was aware OF this For he
knew that Father Cavsllari devoted
almost every cent OF his mcagre sti-
pend 70 relieving the destitution OF
tn" poorest of his parishioncrs, and
| that he even went hungry for their
sake, and contentcd himself with the
most threadOare OF cassocks. So NJ
shcnced the kind hearted priest by
calling in Mgr. Bisletti. his primer
pal secretary, and directed him to see
after and 10 pay for the equipment OF
Father Cavallari with all the robes
and outdt needed for his archiepisco-
pal rank. and at the same time TO
defray all the dues and fees in con-
ncct;on with the appointment
-Four yeas later PiuX ", much
Gratiiied TO learn of the popularity
which his appointec had achieved as

Time for Summer Singing

Oh, summers the season of blossoms and
song
When skies all serencly are smiling;
When the hours that go lazily drifting
along
Are hours of repose and beguiling.
There's mystical harp in each tremu-
lous tree.
Whose music you halfway remember
At least that's what summertime bliss
seemed to be
AS we dreamed of ii back in December
When the sky's steely blue has Il pitiless
glare,
And the streets like Il desert extending
Makes you stand on the curbstone and
fearfully stare
At the way weary mortas are vending,
You think of the birds and the blossoms
and trees
But the sun like an obstinate embcr
Makes you sadly admit that such topics
as these
Are better discussed i'll December.

Local Freight Rates.

Under the terms of the Interstate COM
T1crce commission S decision recently rem
dered the railroad companies probably
nave the right TO abolish free store door
freight deliveries in this city as long as
they are not maintained in Baltimore
Thus inasmuch as the late order of the
Pennsylvania railroad discontinues the
free delivery service In both cities 1t Is
doubtful whether there is any ground for
procedure to recover this long enjoyed
privilege. But the case has another as
pect which should be promptly presented
10 the interstate commerce commission.
That is that the abolition of free deliv
cries In Washington, regardless of what
is done elsewhere, is tantamount to an
increase of the freight rates. The rail
roads having maintained this free service
for many years, il has acquired the ma
ture Of fixed offset 10 the freight rate.
1t matters nothing that 1t was started in
1855; TO meet an emergency. by relieving
freight congestion The fact that the
railroad companies. doubtless for their
own benefit continued the practice after
the congestion had been removed and the
emergency had thus pa ssed gave the local
importers ground for regarding il az
feature OF the freight rate. Many oppor-
road companies To- abolish the privilege.
but their right to do SO has unquestion-
ably waned during tb" thirty years. and
hoy the merchants of Washington should

The Safety Isle" Question.

If il is the purpose of the District au-
thorities In establishing an isle of safety
at 18th street and New York avenue to
afford protection to persons who are wait
ing for street cars at that point, this OBJ
ject can be quite sufficiently gained by
stalking or curbing off a narrow space
alongside of the car track. Then with
little difficulty cars can be brought to a
halt opposite such a platform or rallied
area, and passengers can enter in Sc
curity. No other reason than considera-
ton for intending street car passengers,
however can be conceived for the dimen-
sions of the great circle that now consti-
tutes the so-called safety isle there. By
bringing it out within three or four feet of
the car tracks il unquestionably permits
the assemblage of intending passengers
within shelter. But it would be better
even to carry II clear to the tracks and
fiatten the circle at this point so to
make it a car-taking station without
other use except perhaps as drill
ground for organizations The business
men are now protesting against this re-
markable conception and are urging the
substitution of triangle that bears rela-
ton to the street lines. II is hardly con-
ceivablc that their representations will be
ignored at the District building.

and was captured as she was making
her way to the platform and sent on
to jail to complete her sentence, or
more probably to resume her hunger
strike and get another release under
license. Another woman who has oeen
arrested several times and is now out
on recuperation parole made speech AT
the same needing and waved her IL
cense in the air and asked for some
one to buy it. 1t is reported That an
American curio hunter subsequently
purchased it for e25. declaring his IN
tention to present it to President VIII
son. During the same evening sylvia
Pankhurst. also wanted by the police,
appeared at meeting and when an ell
fort was made to arrest her she was
surrounded by her friends and fight
resulted. In the confusion some one
turned the hose on the meeting and the
fugitive militant escaped. fleeing 1t is
supposed to subterranean passage
leading to the riverside where boat

devices are succeeding in keeping the
suffrage movement in evidence, but it
is doubtful whether they are making
friends for the cause They are as
suredly not effectively demonstrating
the fitness to vote of the fanatics who
are trying to coerce the British gov
eminent.

Militant Haneuvers.

The other day a London newspaper
declared that militancy was dead In
England. 1t Is evident that this was a
premature announcement and that mill
fancy is not dead. although there are
signs that 1T is moribund. And yet in
it's decline 1T is manifesting some di
verting phases. The latest device Of
the suffragists to keep their cause be-
fore the public is for the women who
are released from arrest on hunger
strike" licenses to evade the police
when the time comes for their return
TO Jail and then to make sudden ap-
pearances at meetings and defy the au-
thorities. This naturally leads to re-
arrests, and so the farcicai proceeding
IS continued. Mrs. Pankhurst. who was
recently let out on license to recover
her strength after one OF her numerous
hunger strikes. managed TO dodge the
police when they went to rearrest her.

4 member of the East Washington
Citizens Association at its meeting last
night called attention to a deficiency in
the public school system of the District
that should long since have been supplied.
There Is at present he pointed out, no
provision whatever for the public educa
ton of blind children in the National
Capital. and the parents of such children
are obliged to send them to institutions
at their own expense or to secure their
education at public expense in Baltimore,
and this only by taking what is known
as the "pauper's oath" Thus the condi-
| ton Of the blind children of the District
is truly deplorable, and it is not BETTING
a city of this character and size to permit
such a situation to continue. For small
part of the money spent on public educa-
ton provision could be made for a school
for the blind as a branch of the system
giving to every blind child in the District
an opportunity to learn without being
sent away to another city, possibly as a
pauper.
No longer are sightIess children regard
ed as lit only to grow up in mental as
we'll as physical darkness. Remarkable
advances have been made in the educa-
ton of the blind and they have been
trained to an exceptional degree of pro-
! ticiency in various lines of usefulness.
Indeed. SO complete are the facilities for
their education that in many cases blind
children have acquired scholastic pro-
ficiency superior to that of children bless
! ed with sight.
| The District maintains what are known
| as atypicaI schools for backward children,
| those who are not quite normal and those
who require particular discipline. Why
| should not at least one school for the
blind be established? 1t is surely quite as
| essential a part of public education as
manual training or as kindergarten work
and infinitely more important than mill
| tary drill and athletics. If the board of
education has no present funds to COM
pass this object II is to be hoped that the
matter will be urgently pressed for at
| tention when the estimates are under
I consideration SO that 1t may be laid be-
fore Congress at the next regular session.
/ Surely, there can be no reasonable objec-
! ton to the addition OF a small sum to the
| total school bill in order to let light into
these little minds so unfortunately
| clouded.
