NEW POPE REIGNS
CARDINAL SARTO ELECTED ON
SEVENTH BALLOT
ASSUMES HISJIJLE AT ONCE
Announcement of Choice Being Made
Received with Great Enthusiasm
He Appeared Outside of the Basilica
and Blessed the Populace..
ROME. Cardinal Sarto, patriarch
of Venice, has been elected pope.
Cardinal Macchi, secretary of apos
tolic briefs, announced to the crowd
assembled before SL Peter's that Car
dinal Sarto had been elected pope,
and that he had taken the name of
Pius X. The troops on duty imme
diately lined up on the piazza and pre
sented arms.
Announcement of Cardinal Sarto's
election was received with wild en
thusiasm by thousands of people who
had gathered outside of St. Peter's.
The scene within the basilica when
the pope pronounced his benediction,
was one of unparalleled excitement
and enthusiasm. Thousands of per
sons within the cathedral cheered and
waxed their hats.
Tfcn minutes after 12 o'clock Pope
Pius X appeared inside the balcony
of the basilica and blessed the popu
lace, amid the acclamations of the
enormous crowds assembled upon the
piazza.
Pope Pius X, who was Cardinal
Giuseppe Sarto, the patriarch of
Venice, was at one time regarded as
Pope Leo's personal choice for the
succession to the chair of St. Peter.
His name suddenly spang into prom
inence a year ago in connection with
the names of Rampolla, Vannutelli and
Gotti, as among the cardinals most
apt to win the high place.
He was born in 1835 and made
patriarch in 1891, being proclaimed
cardinal two years later. He is a
great preacher and fairly well known
as a writer, and he has the reputa
tion of accomplishing all the works
that he has undertaken. He is a
member of the congregations of Bish
ops and Regulars. Sacred Rites, In
dulgences and Sacred Relics and
Studies.
Cardinal Sarto, probably the most
able administrator of the Italian epis
copacy, combines firmness and deter
mination with abundant tact and com
mon sense, and has managed to in
augurate a number of very practical
reforms in his archdiocese of Venice
without giving offense either to the
clergy or to the laity.
He avoids all newspaper notoriety.
Indeed, his name is rarely mentioned
in the press. He has always under
stood how to maintain an agreeable,
yet dignified "modus Vivendi" with
the Italian authorities, from which he
derives his stipend, and has shown his
enlightenment by the vigorous cam
paign which he has carried on against
the veneration of relics of question
able authenticity.
He is on friendly terms with the
members of the reigning house of
Italy; during the late reign took part
with King Humbert and Queen Mar
gherita in the launching of a man-of-war,
at Venice, as well as in other
ceremonies at which they were pres
ent, and would certainly be a most
agreeable choice as pope to the pres
ent ruler of Italy.
SCHWAB QUITS TRUST.
Resigns Position of President of the
Steel Corporation.
NEW YORK The resignation of
Charles M. Schwab as president of
the United States Steel corporation
was tendered and accepted at a meet
ing of the directors Tuesday. Wil
liam E. Corey was elected as his suc
cessor. Mr. Schwab's resignation caused no
surprise in financial circles, where it
had for some time been foreshadowed.
The new president was for years one
of Andrew Carnegie's ablest lieuten
ants and is nrw president of the Car
negie Steel company, one of the sub
sidiary concerns of the United States
Steel corporation. It is scarcely more
than a month ago that Mr. Corey was
made assistant to the president be
cause of Mr. Schwab's continued ill
health.

ENJOYS GREAT POPULARITY.
How the Newly Elected Pope is Re
garded. ROME. Cardinal Sarto. the row
elected pope, enjoys great popularity
In his diocese, and Is honored by all
for his purity, for the strict upright
ness of his life, and for liberal ideas.
He Is a modest and agreeable man,
highly cultivated, very kind hearted,
still strong and robust In spite of his
8 years. He has never taken great
part In the political and public life
of the church, but divided his time
between study and good works.
Although most faithful to the Holy
See, he was presented to the king and
queen of Italy in Venice. He may be
considered among the more liberal
members of the Italian episcopate and
sacred college. He is rather timid In
expressing an opinion. It is said that
Leo XIII always thought very highly
of him, and sided with him on one oc
casion when Sarto disapproved of
Rampolla's policy.
He has been known for many years
as one of the greatest preachers in
the church.
While Prince Chigi, the master of
the conclave, was drawing up the offi
cial act of the election and acceptance
of the newly elected pope, the latter,
surrounded by his friends, disappeared
into a small room near the altar, where
he donned with feelings of triumph
and humility the white robes of his
office. Pius X was assisted by his
conclavists, who first knelt and kissed
his master's hand and thus received
the first apostolic blessing given by
Pius X.
The new pope was attired all in
white, with the exception of red shoes,
which was quite regular, but he did
not stop to remove the red cardinal's
stockings for the white papal ones,
and these showed as he raised his
gown to move forward.
When he was quite robed, the sec
retary of the conclave, Mgr. Merry del
Val, kneeling, offered him the papal
white cap, amid breathless silence. He
did not follow precedent created by
Pope Leo, who declined to give his
red cap to the master of ceremonies,
as a sign that he would soon be cre
ated a cardinal, but with a slight
smile, Sarto took the white cap, placed
it calmly on his head and dropped ths
red one lightly on the head of Mgr.
Merry del Val, amidst a murmur of
approval. This was taken as a cer
tain indication that the happy recip
ient is to be raised to the cardlnalate.
GERMANY LIKES NEW POPE.
Election of Srto Proves Very Accep
tably BERLIN The election of Cardinal
Sarto as the new pope was made
known here at 1 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, through extra editions of
the newspapers, which were eagerly
read.
The Foreign Office at that hour had
no confirmation of the news, but re
garded it as probable, it having been
learned that Sarto had strongly in
creased his vote yesterday. Replying
to the question whether the election
was acceptable to Germany, a repre
sentative of the foreign office an
swered :
"Unqualifiedly so. from an omcial
view point. Sarto Is a mild manner
man and has never been active polit
ically." In other quarters, it was remarked
that Sarto is the only Italian cardinal
whom the king of Italy received. His
repeated visits to the king and his
aversion to politics are regarded as
an auspicious sign for the triple al
liance. FRANCE APPROVES CHOICE.
Removes Fear that New Pope Might
Be Reactionary.
PARIS The election of Cardinal
Sarto as pope has created a distinctly
favorable impression in governmental
quarters here, removing the fear that
the office might fall upon a radical
or reactionary candidate. The For
eign office received the first informa
tion of the election from press sources,
the news spreading rapidly among the
officials and causing widespread com
ment. Although not espousing any partic
ular candidacy, official feeling has
been favorable to one who would con
tinue the conservative policy of the
late pope.
India riles a Protest.
SIMLA Viceroy Curzon has tele
graphed a lengthy protest to the home
government against saddling India
with the cost of the South Africa gar
rison. Prelate for Privy Council.
LONDON According to the Chron
icle it is not impossible that the king's
Irish visit will result in the appoint
ment of Archbishop William J. Walsh
of Dublin to the Irish privy council.
Hitherto no Catholic prelate has
ever been on the council, but it is
said to have been a long cher
ished dream of Lord Beaconsfield to
appoint a prelate possessing the
confidence of the Irish people and the
pope. -

ily in the afternoon and was released
on $10,000. Long was brought in on a
bench warrant. Arrangements for his
bail are now being made.
Machen. Cupper and Long are
named jointly in one indictment for
violation of the conspiracy section of
the revised statutes. The Indictment
declares that between July 1, 1897. and
July 1. 1901, Cupper induced Machen
to give him the contract for painting
letter boxes, package boxes and posts,
and that Cupper painted these boxes
in Reading, Albany. Scranton and

that Stern entered into a contract with
the government to furnish letter car
riers and collectors satchels for the
free delivery service, the satchels to
be supplied in each case with a leather
shoulder strap. The cost of each of
these straps to Stern would amount to
25 cents. The Indictment says Machen.
in his official capacity, was to procure
shoulder straps at the expense of the
United States and deliver the same to
Stern to be used by him in the per
formance of his contract, thus en
abling him to save 25 cents on each
satchel delivered to the government.
It is further alleged that notwith
standing this Stern was to charge the
full contract price for each satchel and
that a portion of his saving was to be
retained by him and the residue paid
to -Long to be dvided with Machen.

SOUTH OMAHA.
CATTLE There was a small run of
cattle and for the week receipts have
been moderate. Taking the month of
July as a whole, however, there Is an
increase over July, 192, amounting tc
about 8,500 head. This Increase has
been brought about by the large sup
ply of corn-feds coming forward, as
there were a good many range cattle
marketed the last half of July a year
ago, while this vear there have not
been enough range cattle on sale to
make a market. The beef steer mar
ket could safely be quoted fully steady.
In a good many cases the more de
sirable grades soid a little higher. As
high as $5.30 was paid, as against a
top of $5.35 yesterday, but the cattle
sold were not as good. The top price
a week ago was $5.25. The cow mar
ket was quite active, and the more
desirable grades sold readily at steady
to strong prices. The common kinds
were more or less neglected the same
as usual, with prices uneven, but still
on the average they sold to fully as
good advantage as they did yesterday.
Everything on sale was disposed of
In good season. Bulls, veal calves and
stags were in light supply and the
market could not be quoted anything
but steady.
HOGS Heavy hogs sold largely at
$5.00 and $5.02. with some very
heavy weights going as low as $4.S5.
The mixed weights went largely at
$5.02 and $5.05, with the choice light
weights and the late sales selling
largely from $5.05 to $5.10. Trading
was not very active at the start, but
the close of the market was quite
brisk and an early clearance was
mafie. The supply of hogs during the
month of July has been very liberal,
as there is an increase over the same
month of last year amounting to about
36,500 head.

MONEY OF THE POPE STOLEN.
Big Sum Said to Have Disappeared
From a Chest.
ROME The scandal over the re
ported mysterious disappearance from
the pope's chambers of the fisher
man's ring was quickly hushed up. It
was revived Thursday night, however,
over a report that a sum of 20,000,000
lires ($4,000,000) has disappeared.
The amount was understood to be in
a treasure chest and largely composed
of 1,000 lire gold pieces. It was last

The "Baker's Dozen."
The expression "bnker'T dozen."
Which is in point of fact thirteen, has
a history. For a baker In the olden
times to give short weight in bread
exposed him to considerable penalties,
and thus the csutom arose of adding
an extra loaf to the dozen as compen

Irving and Diraeli.
Fifteen years ago a rather grewsomo
sensation went round the Duke of
Wellington's drawing room at Strath
fieldsaye on the appearance of a dis
tinguished and expected guest (Henry
Irving). As the tall, thin, impressive
figure with the cadaverous counte
nance, seemed to totter rather than
walk across the floor to his host and
hostess, the murmur passed along, "It
is Dizzy risen from the dead." Tho
t likeness had, fn fact, been noticed
long befere by Ixrd Meaconsfleld him
self. Watching from Mr. Alfred Roths
child's box the play on the Lyceum
stage, the statesman, to tbe question
what he thought of it, replied: "It re
minds me of my own career, and in
person I should think Mr. Irving might
be taken for myself."
What Was ItT
Frlarpoint, Miss., Aug. 3rd. One of
the strangerst cases ever reported oc
curred here recently. The son of Mr.
G. Ij. Iiutlor was very 111. Tbe doc
tor said he had no me disease of tho
spinal cord, and treated him for two
months, but he grew worse all tho
time, and finally tho doctor told Mr.
Uiitler that ha did not kuow what
was the trouble.
The boy would wake up In the night
and say that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out of the house, Kayiug he saw
ugly things which frightened hisi.
His father was very much discour
aged till one day he saw a n';w rem
edy called Dodd'g Kidney Pills adver
tised, and he at once bought some
and began to give ttem to his boy.
lie used altogether eight boxes lv
fore he was entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since. Mr. Hutler
says:
"I feel It my duty to tell what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remody needs Is a fair
chance and it will speak for itself."
True merit is like a river; the deep
