The Hurry among American j achtraeu,

ullicent exhibition of the cup defender the

a dozen raids on Illegal dives and similar

If there are really a "dozen Illegal dives
and similar eases" in Kutland, as the
News asserts, it Is up to the person who
knows, in the light of good citizenship, to
report such things to the police commis

It is a long established fact In printer

Rev. R. F. I.owe is right when he says
that the Negro problem cannot be solved
by a "moonshine" scheme of transporta
tion or in fact any scheme of that nature.
And it is also true that lynching, burning
and mobbing will not accomplish the de
sired end. The education of the whole
race Is the only agency, so those tell us
who have considered the problem fully,
that will settle the difficulty satisfactorily.
Forty years of the attempt to educate the
race have not been able to accomplish that,
nor will forty years more do it, but the re

It there Is any truth in telling of a re
cent episode In Orleans county, as related
by the Newport Express and Standard,
there should be an insistent call for a
thorough investigation. As the Newport
contemporary learns the facts, a young boy
was actually tortured by three boys to
such an extent that he died from injuries
received, and the details of the incident
are so brutish as to be beyond credence.
That such an affair " should have taken
place In the confines of this State few will
be willing to. admit until the fae's are
proven beyond doubt. The affair took
place in the little town of lirownington,
and as the Newport paper has it runs like
this: Three boys, all of an age when they
(should have known better, took the fourth
boy, who was younger than themselves
and a new arrival iu town, and subjected
him to a scries of tortures that equaled
the tortures of the aborigines. First they
held him over a fire, then threw him to the
ground and jumped on him until he was a
mass of bruises. The unfortunate lad
tiled from the injuries a few days later..
Send no KisheneiT protests but investigate
at home. If the boys were guilty of the
things charged against them punish them
severely.

full of courtesy and high breeding. It was
natural perhaps that the lawless element
should suppose itself more than a match
for the gent le ecclesiastic who in years was
Dot much more than a boy, and whose phys
ical weakness showed itself in the pallor of
his face. The surprise felt nt measures
adopted by the new governor was no small
part of the force which gave him the vic
tory. One of the most dreaded chiefs of the
lawless bands who were smugglers, ban
dits or guerrillas by turns was I'asqunle
Collttta He had his center of operat ions
In the Villa Mascambroni, where, with a
band of 14 men, each ns desperate as him
self, he levied blackmail on all about him.
One morning bright and early the people
of Renevento saw this man, together with
his whole baud, led through the streets in
chains by the pontifical soldiers. The gov
ernor was inflexible; no intercession was
sufficient to save those who were convicted
of murder, robbery and rapine.
The execution of I'usqnale Colletta struck
terror into the minds of those who had so
loug fattened on crime. Hut some offend
ers atrulnst the law were those who hbould
have upheld it. A nobleman of Beneveuto
was one of the greatest smugglers in the
land, and when the gendarmes threatened
to search his castle he went in great wrath
to complain to the governor. Vainly did
Mfrr. Pecci endeavor to convince his visitor
that law must be obeyed by alb The mar
quis told the povernorhewould goto Rome
and return with an order of recall for the
young ecclesiastic who V7as upsetting all
the established customs of Beneveuto. The
governor mnilod and asked, "Have you
given this matter thought, my lord mar
qulsr"
"Certainly," was the reply.
"I fail to agree with you," replied the
governor. "One cannot reflect too much
fa these matters. I shall therefore request
you to remain here as my prisoner for a
time."
That night while the marquis was re
flecting on tho matter his castle was sur
rounded, and 28 offenders were captured.
The reform of political and social evils
did not take up all the time of the young
governor. He dovoted himself to a study
of the economic conditions of his territory
and decided t hat roads must bo built con
necting Beneveuto with the adjoining prov
inces of Molise, Terra di Lavoro and Avtl
lino. He made a journey to Rome to con
fer with Gregory XVI and his ministers
and returned with full powers. The roads
were built. More than that, the taxes were
reduced, and, brigandage suppressed, agri
culture revived until commerce sprang
into new life with tho opening of new mar
kets. Beneveuto was transformed and iu
less than three years.
In May, 1811, Mgr. Pecci was recalled
from Beneveuto and appointed papal dele
gate to Spolcto. This Bent him to Perugia,
one of the hotbeds of the revolutionary so
cieties, and hero begun a content between
Joachim Recci and the organized opposi
tion to the church, which was to be the
man's work for many years. The various
(secret societ ies which were bora in Italy as
the result of the disturbance following the
Napoleonic invasion had all a common o!
Ject the attainment of social and political
liberty. The efforts for greater liberty
made by such societies as the Carbonari
(the charcoal burners) took the form of an
attack on the church. They Iwlieved that
under no circumstances would the church
lend itself to change, and they therefore do
termined to destroy it if possible.
Suqh a man as Mirr. Recti would natural
ly come to the front in such a fight. In I'e
rugia, where he now ruled, he found the so
cieties very strong. Welded together and
given form, as these bad been, by the genius
of Mazzini, they were powerful and able
enough to demand the greatest ability of
the young ecclesiastic lie began in a thor
oughly characteristic wfty. The old road
leading up to the City from the plain was
Impractible for vehicles, and. iu 20 days
Mgr. Pecci had built a new one. One of the
first to use it was Gregory XVI, who visited
the old city and was received gladly by the
people. The governor followed up the build
ing of the road by a personal visit to every
Commune, He examined closely into every
detail of administration, informed himself
of the needs of each locality, corrected
abuses and removed incompetent officials.
While he put down the secret societies
whenever he could, he deprived them of
their power over the people by making the
reforms they talked about. He fostered ag
riculture and encouraged commerce, he se
cured an inexpensive administration of the
laws, and ho put down lawlessness with a
heavy hand. In one year he had reformed
the town councils, gathered all the courts
into one building, established a savings
bank, opened srlmuls for the children anrl

Joachim Pecci was in his 23d year when
Gregory XVI appointed him apostolic nun
cio, or papal embassador, to the kingdom of
BeUduni. The embassador reaches! Urue
el and found thrit ecret smiltrtien were
represented there in force. When bo ap
puared at the court of King Leopold, lie
produced a mot favorable impression. It
woe apparent that ho wan an nocopipIWied
neholar, a bred man and one who had
not a Utile wit.
In the difficult task which was before Mm
Archbishop Pecci had the benefit of the
counsel of Queen Louisa Maria, who waa a
most devout Catholic. To protect the Bel
gian Catholic Rgalust the opposition to
them in the Bolftiun parliament wo tbeem
bassador'i first duty, and, a usual, he found
a very practical way of going to work. He
began the visitation of the great Cathono
schools and stirred up those who controlled
them until it became known that more
work and better work was done in them
than in their rivals'. In the College of St.
Michael he made his influence especially
felt, it being directly under the cyca of
kins and minister.
When Perugia lost its bishop, Mgr. Cit
tadinl, the city magistrates, the nobility
and clergy petitioned that Mgr. Pecci be
appointed to the place. The pope con
sented, provided the consent of the arch
bishop could be obtained, and this was
given as soon as asked tif . Before going
to Perugia Mgr. Pecci Visited England,
Ireland and France. He arrived in Rome
when Gregory XVI was lying at death's
door, and the letter which Leopold I had
written could not be read by the pontiff.
In that letter the king of the Belgians had
urged the pope to make Mgr. Pecci a car
dinal and had epoken very strongly of hie
services as a diplomat.
The archbishop, - bishop of Perugia, en
tered the old city on July 20, 18-lrt. Here he
was destined to remain for 33 years direct
ing his diocese, fighting the influence of the
secret societies, encouraging education in
every possib way and becoming, through
his letters, tho defender of the papacy
among the Italian bishops. Diplomacy,
his chosen field, was deprived of his serv
ices for a long period. It Is, however, a ques
tion whether Mgr. Pecci did not do more
for the church from the quiet of his library
by the famous letters he found time to
write than he could had he served as an em
bassador". On the 20th of February, 1S54, Perugia
celebrated tho elevation of her bishop to
tho cardinalate, in which celebration all
ranks aud orders of society joined, for Car
dinal Pecci was nics-t popular even among
men who did not belong to the church,
and all delighted to do him personal honor.
There was a similar tribute paid on the
17th of January, 1S71, when the cardinal
celebrated bis silver jubilee.
Eluuted I'ope.
.Pope Pius IX appointed Cardinal Pecci
cnnierlingo in 1877. This office gives its oc
cupant charce of the temporalities of the
church during any vacancy of the papal
chair, and with it came Cardinal Pecci's
residence in Konie. The jubilee of Pius IX
had brought throngs of pilgrims to Home,
and the opposition of the government of
Victor Emanuel to the papacy had thereby
been much increased. In January,
Pius IX died, shortly after Victor Emanuel,
and with Kiiik Linberto there was to lie a
new pope. The question whether the Ital
ian government would allow a free election
was warmly debated, and luauj thought it
would not.
As camerlingo it was Cardinal Pecci"s
duty to make anangemcuts for the con
clave in which the new pope was to be
elected. No opposition came from the gov
ernment, and the preparations in the Vati
can went rapidly forward. On Feb, IS, 1S7H,
the Ot cardinals present in Koine entered
the apartments of the conclave. Prince
Chigi, hereditary marshal of the church aud
guardian oi tho conclave, locked the Uoor
outside, and thecardinal camerlingo locked
it within. Mgr. Kieci Parracciaoi, gov
ernor of the conclave, examined tho inclo
sure so as to be sure there was no method of
communication with the outside world
The conclave assembled in ' the Bistine
chapel, in which 04 seats, e."ch shadowed
by a canopy emblematic of sovereignty,
had been erected.
The places taken by the four candinals
created by Gregory XVI were marked with
green hangings, all the others being purple.
In front of each cardinal was a small writ
ing table, and to each wasgivenaschedulla,
or ballot, in the center of which he was to
write the name of his choice. A full two
thirds vote was necessary for an election.
On the altar stood a large chalice with its
paten, and one by one the cardinals ad
vanced, knelt before the altar and declared
he chose the man he considered most fitted.
Then, rising, he deposited his ballot on the
paten.
Three scrutineers were chosen to count
the ballots. On the first vote the name of
Joachim Pecci appeared 23 times. On the
second he received 3S. On tho third, taken
on tho morning of the :20th of February, 1S78,
he received 44 and was declared elected.
The subdean, the senior cardinal priest and
cardinal deacon approached the seat of Car-
dinal Pecci.

"Do you accept the selection made of you

asked the subdean, and Cardinal Pecci re

the subdean knelt. "By what name do you
wish to be called?" "By the name of Leo

The announcement of the e'ect.ion was
made in St. Peter's church by Cardinal Cat

men after the election of the new pope bore
on bis policy toward the Italian govern
ment Ills predecessor, Pius IX, had never
given up the claim to the temporal power
of which he had been deprived, and it was

pope also renewed the protests which Car
dinal Pecci had made asainst the civil mar
riage, which had become the law of the laud.
From the ftrt the new pouini saw that
the field of influence open to him was that
of the peacemaker. He put himself into
communication wi.th Germany, offering his
service as mediator between the govern
ment and the Catholio population, and these
were accepted. He interested hlmnelf in
eastern tuitions. He complained most (.ut
terly of the action of the Italian govern
ment, oa the c round that priests were- sul
Joct to military oonneriptlou; that the insti
tutions of charity in Home were no longer
in charge of the church; that heterodox
sckaols were opened; that the bthopi had
been deprived of nil their functions and rev
enues, and that the government had taken
to Itself the patronage of the dioceses.
The Italian government was at that time
Jed by Prime Minister Depretis, a maa to
whom the idea of the temporal power of
the pope was an abomination. The minis
ter's policy was to deprive the papal gov
ernment of all powor except in things spir
itual The diplomatic- training and subtle
brain of Leo XIII enabled him to see that
his only chance to influence the government
of Italy was by influencing that of other
countries, and his foreign policy became the
leading motive of his reign. lie restored,
as one of his first acts, the hierarchy of
Scotland, and he declared in the strongest
way there could be no compromise with
revolution.
In February, 1879, deputations represent
ing all Roman Catholio journalists arrived
at Rome and Were-received by the pope.
To them Leo XIII spoke strongly, outliniug
the policy they should take. In September
of that year he, with marked liberality,
threw open to the scholars of the world the
treasures of the librarv of the Vatican. He
wrote the encyclical letter on socialism in
1878, a letter which did much to win Priuce
Bismarck, and during 1S79 he est ablished
the com. i il of education for Rome.
In 1SS0 the celebration of the 25th anni
versary of the coronation of Alexander,
czar of Russia, gave Leo XIII an opportu
nity of reopening relations with the Rus
sian court and of pleading the cause of Rus
sian Catholics. Ha seconded this by pro
claiming a solemn office of honor to the
memory of the Russian saints, Cyril and
Methodius, and iu 1SS1 he established a
hierarchy for Bosnia and Herzegovina, He
encouraged the Greek college In Rome and
enlarged' it. He brought about concord be
tween the pafiacy and the eastern schismat
ics, and the government of Turkey ao
knowledged the benefit derived. In Persia
the efforts of Leo XIII were most success
ful, and in Japan he made his diplomacy
felt.
The famine in Ireland in 1S79 enabled Leo
XIII to take a strong stand with the Irish
people and to express his belief in the ulli
mate success of their efforts.
In ISSi Leo XIII convened a plenary
council of the church at Baltimore. The
archbishops were summoned to Rome to
consult over the schema or outiiue of dis
cussion, and as a result of the council
strong ground was taken on the spread of
iuhdelity, and the movement to form a
great Catholio university at the city of
Washington was inaugurated.
Leo an a Writer.
i'ope Leo XIII wrote a great deul dur
Ing his life, mostly Italian aud Latin vcrsi
When he desired to write, he used to lock
himself up in his room and allow no one to
disturb him. His abstraction was so great
that he used to wipe his pen upon the s! jeve
of his white soutane, and his faithful body
servant, Centra, lived in morbid terror lest
his master should be seen in this spotted
sta'a, and on days of . audience personally
examined him, ready to invest him, if nec
essary, in a clean robe.
Much of his verse was of course religious
in its character, though not all. In rhythm
it is Virgllian, being sauve, elegant and of
easy, smooth phrasing. "His epigrammatio
poems," writes one familiar with the pon
tiff's writings, "are liht, lively and strike
whore they ought, but they have not poi
soned barbs.
"One of the verses has this subject: A
youth asked one day for an audience and
avowed that his life had been too free for
virtue. The holy father advised him to re
tire to a convent for some time and to ban
ish from his mind every thought that could
defile it.
"This is a prose rendering of w hat he
wrote: 'Florus, my child, a furious fever
burns you; a foul plague softens your body
and your soul. You have been drinking,
and without shame, of an infernal and poi
sonous cup. It is the cup of Circe. It
evokes in your mind intakes of animal
bestiality. If you care to be saved, fly from
the siren's song and from the inhospitable
Bhore. Take good courage and light temp
tation while fleeing from it. If you do, God
will fight for you and look on you with a
favorable eye. Already tho hideous serpent,
full of rage at the prospect of defeat, plunges
mto the black waters of the Styx. Florus.
