SIMPLICITY OF POPE Plus X.

1t is very frequently the case, when
man climbs from lowly origin to some
position of high authority and dignity,
that he forgets the steps by which he
rose. He looses sympathy for the poor
and struggling. He assumes that be-
cause he was able to rise, others are at
fault if they do not also succeed, forget
ting that most people have not the en-
dowments of power and force which
permitted him to climb.
The sorrow manifested at the death
of Pope Plus X is not limited to those
of his own religious faith. Anyone who
will scan the history of his life can see
there the record of a singularly fine
character. Born in family of eight
children, who We're raised on a wage Of
81. IS a week, he knew all the grind of
poverty. His life in the splendor of the
Vatican was made simple and informal,
so far as he could escape from the
machinery of great position, as it had
been in the hills of Treviso.
His example of humility and SIM
plicity is particularly valuable from the
tendencies within the church toward
aristocracy and Formally. Anyone
familiar with Anthony Trollope S novels
will recall the pictures of Anglican
church life, which contrast singularly
with the manners of Pope Plus.
The English type developed some
wonderfully fine personalities. Blu
there was too much ecclesiastical politics
in 1t, too much display and wealth anC
luxury. The splendor accorded but il
with the rigors of the Master, who knew
not wherein to lay his head.
Any great church acquires its mag
nifcence. Perhaps it needs it, for the
assertion of its dignity and Importance
But too often these exterior trapping!
tend to remove the ministers of tn,
gospel from the simple people of every
day life. 1t was the distinction of Plus
that up to the limit of his ability, and 81
long as he could, he answered per
sonally all letters and appeals for help
and made it point to see whoever
wished to see him. Rutland News.

mont where natnre's favors were not
lightly bestowed
Second he was a Yankee and in
vented farm machine which was later
improved by some one else and went
into general use.
He was progressive and was among
the first to see the advantage of the
farm machines which many farmers
were slow to adopt, thinking that old
ways were good enough or that their
money was safer in the bank.
Indeed, this New Highlander bought
the first threshing and moving machine
used in Ohio.
He was a good blacksmith and his
neighbors for miles al ound sought him
out, as they also did for shoes for the
family which he made with neatness
and despatch.
Until his seven boys were II they
wore shoes and boots made for them by
their father.
He was also by trade broom max er
and made many for market in those
days when all tools and implements for
domestic use were few and far between.
Finally he was a school teacher of a
sound education as that age OF the
spelling book went and with a skill Of
imparting what he knew which helped
make the early days safer and saner
for the children in that lonely wood
world
He was a music teacher and held a
singing school during the winter when
the rude forest paths were passable.
He played the melodeon, the same
little wheezy melodeon that had trav-
eed with them from Vermont.
He could preach on occasion and of
course he knew how to carpenter anC
put up his log cabin, else how had the
family been sheltered at all?
These were the accomplishments OF
the typical Yankee of the time and &
splendid foundation they laid for the
after growth of such State as Ohio

DEATH OF POPE Plus X.

Rome, Aug. 20. Together in one;
all things in Christ" These words,
which he adopted as his motto on
August 10, 1903. six days after he had
been elevate to the pontifcal, were on
the lips of Pope Plus X, as he entered
the valley of death.
The end came at l 20 o'clock this
morning and was peaceful A few
minutes before he had been reused
from emi-consciousnes and attempted
to bestow a blessing upon those
gathered in the chamber, but his
strength failed him. After pause he
murmured the scriptural text and did
not speak again.

the election of Pope will be held Sep

Racer Killed, Car Running 90
Miles an Hour

Elgin, ILL.,, Aug. 49, The Elgin ma
tional road race, won by Ralph De
Palma, in a Mercedes car, yesterday
developed into a tragedy. Spencer
Wishart, the wealthy young Philadelphia
driver, bridegroom of only two m onths,
met death when his Mercer car upset
while running at a rate of speed of 80
m lies an hour. His mechanician, John
C. Jenter, a New Jersey boy, was
probably fatally injured. Mrs. Wishart
was in the grandstand at the time of the
accident.
Wishart was leading the race, closely
pressed by Burman, in Peugeot. Driv-
ing with his accustomed Indifference to
danger, he tried to pass machine on
the 18th lap. The hubs of the car came
together. Wisharts machine crashed
into fence and turned over, pinning
him beneath. His right leg was broken
his skull fractured and his chest
crushed. He was taken to a field hos
pital, where he died in the presence of
his wife.
Jenter was thrown a hundred feet
from where the car overturned. Militia
men dragged him from the path of
other machines which were now halted
by the tragedy. He also was taken to
the no -pital, where it was said last night
his chance of recovery was slight His
right arm was broken and he suffered
internal injuries. Four spectators were
bruised when the car hit the fence.

VERMONT PIONEER TO OHIO.

The story of a pioneer trip from
Vermont to Ohio is told by gentle
man who:. thinks his father could do
more things well than any other man
he ever knew, saws a writer in the
Christian Science Monitor.
The father and mother and one child
packed themselves into an OK cart.
With.I Them went the mahogany bed
room set, Ia hooded cradle ard tiny
little, old wheezy melodeon, for the New
Highlander of that period always had
music in him and sang hymn tunes if
nothing more.
They journeyed along in the cart, the
wife and mother sometimes playing on
the melodeon to while away the time
and keep the baby contented.
When they came to the Erie canal
they embarked, OK and cart and all, in
canal boat which was drawn solemnly
along the still waters by team of
mules. When the end of the canal
came they took again to the cart and
the woody road.
Ohio was then a great forest, and
when the family came to their chosen
home site they found it covered with
immense black walnut trees. These
trees had actually to be burned in or
der to get them out of the way. They
were not even considered useful for
fire wood; there was plenty of that
and the labor of chopping down trees
delayed the cabin building.
The father of the family was a first
class farmer, having learned his art
among the exacting uplands of Yer

At last the Educational Commission,

Matched its Carnegie egg After much

the mind of the commission, which
appears to be as like the mind of the

another in the same pod. The report
OF the commission proves to be simply
the familiar Carnegie report, approved
and adopted in its entirety. This was
hardly TO be expected. Nine men.

wisdom to consider the problem of
education in Vermont in all its phases,
and nothing to dissent from in that
extraordinary document presented by
the Carnegie experts, and have no
ideas or opinions of their own to offer.
After all these months spent sup
posedly in learned cogitation, they
present merely a unanimous Ditto
to the Carnegie opinions about Yer
mont, with voluminous apologies.
The plot is now disclosed. The State
has been betrayed into the hands OF
Carnegie Education Trust. Vermont

these dictated by an alien corporation

dominating power. The commission

WAR INTERRUPTS RIVER AND
HARBOR PROJECTS.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE WAR of
the Nations is not only causing the
closing down of factories in the United
States by shutting off the importation
of material from Europe, but is also
causing the dismissal of hundreds of
railroad employees. Freight and pas
senger traffic on all the railroads run
ming out of Jersey City show such an
enormous falling off that the railroads
are compelled to make wholesale dis
charges in their operating forces.
To make bad matter worse, millions
of dollars worth of property are being
hung up and thousands of men thrown
out of employment because of the
failure of Congress to pass the river and
harbor bill
According to the army engineers
having river and harbor work in charge,
work on 1876 projects has either been
suspended already or will be suspended
by September Is, because of the failure
of Congress to make the needed appro-
priations.
In memorandum submitted to
Chairman Sparkman of the rivers and
harbors committee of the House, the
chief of engineers, in calling attention
of Congress to the pressing necessity
for appropriations to carry on river and
harbor work, said Every effort has
been made to keep the estimates down
to the amounts actually needed to per-
nit of economical prosecution of the
works adopted by Congress and, by
reason of the regular passage in the
past four years of rivers and harbors
acts, confidence that this policy would
be continued has been gradually ac-

in furnishing materials or doing work
under the department have acquired

loss of time and possible interference
with navigation. but seriously handi
caps and greatly adds to the cost OF
future work hy the disorganization o.
working forces, and the effect which i
has upon the confidence of contractors
supplying materials.
Among the many important projects
that are seriously affected through tn,
failure of Congress to pass the rive
