Mgr. Tonti, Rome" tells us, is a
Roman, born there on the 9th of De-

Roman Seminary and passed his first
pastoral years in the Propaganda Eide
College. He entered the diplomatic
career and was created Titular Bishop
of Samos in 1892; Titular Archbishop
of Saris in 1893 and in September of
the following years transferred to
Port au Prince where he resided as
Delegate Apostolic; as Archbishop of
that See he took part in the first Plen-
airy Council of Latin America held in
Rome in 1898. In 1902 he was created
Titular Archbishop of Ancyra, and
July of that year Apostolic Nuncio to
Brazil. Nuncio to Portugal in 1906,
he left Lisbon when the anti-clerical
revolutionaries took charge of Portu-
gal, and returned to Rome in 1910,
where he has since lived in retire
ment, though still officially holding his
diplomatic appointment.
Mgr. Mistrangelo belongs to the

les Regular of the Pious Schools. After
holding high office in his Congregation

in 1895, four years later being pro
NOTED Archbishop of Florence. The
other resident Episcopal Cardinal,
Mgr. Gusmini, was created Bishop OF
Bergamo in 1910 and Archbishop of
Bologna five days after Cardinal Della
Chiesa, becoming Pope Benedict XIV,

Mgr. Giovanni Cagliero is head of
the Salesian mission in America. He
is Apostolic delegate to Central Amer
lea, resident in Costa RIGA, but the
work of which he has long been the
head is in Patagonia and the Argen-
tine. Starting his labors among the
Indians in Patagonia in 1884, Mgr.
Cagliero and the Salesian fathers have
built churches, schools and colleges
throughout the southern part of South
America, with headquarters in Buenos
Aires, that are the pride of missionary
Rome.
Mgr. Fruhwirth, Dominican, was
born in SAINT Anna di Aigen in the
diocese of Seckau (Gratz), Austria, in
1S45. He has risen from dignity to
dignity in his Order, Provincial of
Austria and finally Master General. 1t
was shortly after his term expired
that Plus x chose him to be Nuncio
at Bavaria and created him Titular
Archbishop of Heraclea. His perma-
nence at Munich has lasted from 1907
till now, very considerable period
The other Nuncio now raised to the
Purple, Mgr. Scapinelli, is far younger,
having been born in 1853 Native of
Modena, he followed his ecclesiastical
studies in the diocesan seminary of
Reggie Emilia, being Professor of
Canon Law there after his ordination.

Holy Office, and of the Consistorial;
Secretary for Foreign Ecclesiastical
Affairs on the elevation of Cardinal
Gasparri to the Sacred College in 1908.
In 1912 he was created Titular Arch
bishop of Laodicea and appointed to
the Nunciature at Munich.
1t will be seen that of the new Car
dinals there is only one who is not by
birth an Italian, Mgr. Fruhwirth of
Austria. And all the Italians, except
one, from the north of Italy. Mgr.
Tonti, as Roman, will be welcomed
by the Romans, who have not many of
their native Cardinals in the Supreme
Council of the Church just now. Car
dinal vannutelli, the Dean, is from !,
not far off; Cardinal Cas-
setta is q Roman, so is Cardinal Sera- !
fini, SO was Cardinal Tecchi, and Car.
