the Cathedral Of Trsviso. THIS pro.
motion was supplemented by bestowal
OF the desnery on Father Sarto and
his appointment ~ Episcopal chancel-
lor. To him also was conilded tho del
icate and important charge Of spiritual
director Of the Seminary OF Treviso.
In which college be was likewise
given q professors chair and an ex-
aminership.
Nor did his activities end here. for
he was chosen an Judge In the
Capitular Ecclesiastical court, and nm
ally was appointed vicar-general Of
the diocese.
After such an Apprenticeship It was
not surprising that when the Inn
portant see Of Mantuc became vacant
In 1884. Leo XIII chose Giuseppe Sar'
to to Ill the place. II was no easy
task to which he had been called. for
his predecessor had allowed discipline
to slack. His persuasive powers and
administrative gifts were tested to
the utmost, but he was fully equal TO
the ungrateful task.
Severe In personal taste, Signor
Sarto showed himself jealous In main
tanning the gorgeous ritual traditions
of his church. and in 1885 the nine
hundredth solemn centenary of st. An
selm was celebrated under his aus
pieces. while in 1891 he presided at a
like function in commemoration Of St.
Louis Gonzaga.
Two years later Pope Leo recognized
Bishop Sarto's merits by raising him
to the Sacred College, with the title
of San Bernardo ale femme. at q
consistory held June IL. 1893
At the same time he was chosen
out OF all the Venetian prelates to I'LL
the patriarchate Of Venice.
Won Support Of the Radicals.
In his nine years residence in the

Tiers was beloved and q familiar figure.

to Austria. Germany and France. an1
In these countries. with the exception
OF France in recent years. he Wa
highly commended for wisdom and
strength.
Brought Church and state Together.
As to italy. he increased the cordial
understanding between church ana
state. which was not thought wise oy
Italian churchmen. However, his ac-
ton resulted In an uplifting OF the
church in Italy.
The dioceses had been In most
deplorable condition because OF the
long conflict between church ana
state.
There was evidence Of miserable
conditions existing in the italian emil
grants. They have little or no instruc-
ton in their religion and paid no at
tention to It in this country. on the
superstition that the Catholic religion
did not exist here.
The pope pursued this matter 70 the
proper outcome. He filed up vacant
sees, stirred up comfortable bishops
and ordered the teaching Of catechism
all over the world. He aimed cnieny
at Italy. In a word, he deserted al
plomacy for the instruction and organ
ization Of the people. He gave up
governments to look after the iost
sheep of the household.
Disappointed diplomats then walled
about his timidity. But the wailing
had no effect on the noble-hearted,
simple man who was the head OF the
church. S'.-
When the trouble between the
church and state broke out In France
and the concordat was dropped, the
world looked to the pope. speculating
what course he would take. What he
did seemed to be the only right thing
according to the American idea He
ignored the nation.

Report Of Tax Commission.

With the report of the state tax
commission boosting the valuation in
the state nearly 100000, the indfca-
lions are that the sessions Of the state
board of equalization will be enlivened
chiefly by the protests from Wayne
county whose valuations are raised
close to the billion mark by the tax
commissioners figures.
The expected kick from the iron and
copper counties has practically
dropped out of sight, as combined
movement. Gogebic and Ontonagon
are the only upper peninsula counties
that 80 far, through their representa-
tives now here, have signified objec-
tions to the report. Gogebic is jumped
something like $13,000,00O. while On
tonagon has about the same dose. In
both cases the county supervisors
made like raise, but 1t was done on
figures furnished by the tax COM
mission. The counties will make des-
perate efforts to have their valuations
cut materially.
Wayne county's big raise comes
from the application by the commits.
sion Of cash valuations. Sales were
not taken into account in the figures
any place in the state. They were to.
tally disregarded and the commission
says that its own field men are re-
sponsible for the new figures and that
1t will be able to prove that are cor.
rect.
That the states total, after the
equalization board gets through with
It, will be much below the tax com.
missions report is absolutely certain
Whether It will be brought back to the
county supervisors totals which would
be an increase of nearly $500, 600, 600
over last year. is extremely doubtful
II the tax commission figures are al
lowed to stand the University of Mich
igan, with its three-eighths of a mill
tax would take down more than mil
lion dollars. Those who insist that
the commission is too high are already
noting that fact.
The copper and iron companies out
side Of Gogebic and Ontonagon are
content to stay on the tax commits
sions's figures. They are boosts in many
instances, but all seem agreed they
are just. II. however, the board Of
equalization decides to cut down the
states totals, these counties will in
sist that the cut be q pro rata one
and that they benefit The same ia
true Of nearly all Of the counties &c
far represented here. They will moi
permit Wayne, they say, with its Biz
increase, to have all the pairing done
on its valuations. Any cuts which the
state board IL to make, II will be ar
gued. should come on each county n
an equal percentage basis. For thii
reason, the indications are that Wayne
| county will have to stand good-siSet

THE NAVY MAN THIS YOUNG
GIRL WANTED WAS GONE


Office of the Grant Park Hotel last
night. To the man behind the reg
lister book at the desk she said, Il
want. to see Mr.. Earl Bostwick."
The man behind the desk felt his
heart go thumpety-thump, because
he didn't know how to tell the young
woman right off that Mr.. Bostw1ck
suddenly left the hotel week before.
'T'm sorry" and his fingers ran
along the edge of the pages of the
big register book, 81 don't know just
how to explain it to you. But-but
Mr.. Bostwick is not here now. He
went away"
HE must be here" said the wo-
man. Il have letter from him say
ing he would be here two weeks"
How the man behind the desk got
it out he doesn't know, but word by
word, slowly and bIundering1y, he
told her that Earl Bostwfck, seaman
of the United States Navy, and E. A.
Buchanan, his pal, and also an enlist
ed seaman of the United States navy,
were taken away from the hotel one
week before in a police ambulance
and carried to morgue.
He told her how the two young
men had found life in the navy was
different from that shown on the col
ored posters of the recruiting offices.
He explained that the two seaman
ran away from their battleship
and were afraid the police would
catch them for "desertion. p Then
she learned how the two had been
unable Ito find jobs and with money
gone and one revolver between them,
made a getaway to what eYangelists
call ''the shore over there.
The young woman listened to the
few rambling, stumbling words of
the man behind the desk. When he
ended his words as though that was
all of the story, she gave him a long,
