IT IS POPE PIUS X
CARDINAL GUISEPPI IS NOW POPE
OF ROME.
DEVOTEDTO ART ANDIIS CHURCH
Pope Pius X Is Very Popular in Italy
and Is Much Liked in
France.
Rome, Aug. 5.—The conclave, after
being in session for four days, elected
Guiseppe Sarto, patriarch of Venice, as
pope to succeed Leo. XIII., and he now
reigns at the Vatican and over the
Catholic world as Pius X. His election
and the assumption of his holy office
were marked by a striking demonstra-
tion and impressive ceremonies at the
Vatican. The new pope, clad in his
fuli pontifical robes and with all the
ritualistic ceremony, will receive all
the members of the diplomatic corps,
the cardinals and the bishops, who will
then offer their official homage. Twice
the cardinals and many high officials
of the Vatican went through a similar
ceremony. The date upon which the
•coronation of Pius X will occur has not
yet been decided on, but the impres-
sion prevails that it will occur Aug. 9.
“Sarto” in Italian means “tailor,”
and Pius X., when a young seminarist,
being rather elegant in his priestly
robes, his companions used to joke
him, saying that he evidently knew
the business. He began his education
at a seminary at Treviso and contin-
ued it at Padua, the seat of the famous
university, one of the best, not only
of the Catholic universities, but in the
world. Pius X. was only 23 years old
when he was consecrated a priest at
Castel Franco, the birth-place of the
great master Giogrine, acting after-
ward for nine years as coadjutor to the
Big Steel Rail Shipment.
Fort Worth: A trainload of steel
rails for the extension of the North-
ern Texas Traction company have
reached here from Antwerp, Belgium.
There are 320 tons of the material.
W. A. Kappler, assistant to George
T. Bishop of Cleveland, Ohio, who is
parish priest of Tombolo, province of
Padua, a small villge of 2950 people
who were the first to appreciate his
virtues. In 1867 he was appointed par-
ish priest at Salzano, which was con-
Grand Lodge Knights of Honor.
Dallas: In seventeenth regular ses-
sion, the Grand Lodge of Texas,
Knights of Honor, convened at 10
o’clock Tuesday morning in Turner

ing become attached to the people. 1 was made by Mayor Ben E. Cabell, af-
Pope Leo, who had highly appre-iter which W. C. Holland extended a
dated his cleverness, piety and mod-welcome from the Dallas lodges. Re-
esty, appointed him in November, 1884, sponses were made by J. R. Cole of
at the age of 49 years, bishop of Man-
tua, where he remained nine years, un-
til 1893, when he was made a cardinal
and appointed patriarch of Venice. He
there distinguished himself as a thor-
ough reformer, suppressing all abuses,
restoring the dignity of the clergy and
the earnestness of religion. To him is
due the revival of the Gregorian chant
in the beautiful churches, overlooking
the lagoons, and to him is due the
strict lithurgic rules.
Advices from Riese, the birthplace
of Pius X. and a village of 4000 inhab-
tants, state that the Pope’s mother,
now dead, when living there, occupied
a small peasant’s house, having in her
humility always refused to live with
her son Guiseppe, as even his modest
establishment was considered by her
to be too luxurious in comparison with
what she was accustomed to. The elder
brother of the Pope, Angelo, lives in
the village of Dellegrazie, province of
Mantua, being the postman of the dis-
trict and receiving eighty dollars a
year for his duties. He add to his in-
come by keeping a shop in which ho
sells tobacco and pork. His two daugh-
ters are the belles of the village, be-
ing known for miles as the “Hand-
some Sarto sisters.”
When Pius X. was a bishop, his
brother, Angelo, used often to go there
for reasons connected with his postal
service. The other clerks would ask
him jokingly why his brother did not
find him a better position. Angelo,
with sturdy independence, answered
that he preferred to be only what he
could make himself. Still, following
papal precedents, the tobacconist and
postmaster of Dellegrazie should now
become a royal count.
Sherman and M. J. Moore of Cameron,
and this thirtieth anniversary of the
founding of the order showed hearts
as warm and hands as willing as vet-
erans can remember to have known at
any time in its history. The report of
the committee on credentials showed
that more than 200 delegates were at
the opening and received the reports
of the grand officers. These reports
were submitted in printed form and
distributed for facility in discussing.
Shippers in West Texas have been
warned by the Federal authorities to
be on their guard against the use of
infected cattle cars. The warning con-
tains the information that during the
flood time at St. Louis one of the rail-
ways entering that city had accumu-
: lated 300 stock cars used in handling
Southern cattle, which had not been
disinfected.
On account of the prevalence of yel-
low fever at Tampico, Mexico, Surgeon
General Wyman of the Marine hos-
pital service has ordered Assistant
Surgeon Thomas F. Richardson to that
port to take charge, in conjunction
with Assistant Surgeon Frick, of the
disinfection of ships bound for Unit-
cd States ports.

Miss Barton’s New Plans.
Oxford, Mass.: Miss Clara Barton,
founder an 1 president of the Red
Cross Socie ty, is planning a great na-
tional relief organization with branch-
es in every city and town in the
United States, with a national fund at
the ready command of a finance com-
The new brick buildings on the west
side of the square at Gilmer are now
about completed. They will add a
great deal to that side, as the build-
ings consist of five storerooms and an
upper story, containing five offices
and a large hall, which will be used
by the various fraternal orders of the
town.
president of the Northern Texas Trac-imittee composed of men of national
tion company, says that work will be reputation. This fund is to be ready
pushed as fast as possible on the ex-
tension here. He stated that three new
street cars would arrive here for ser-
vice the latter part of the month and
others will follow during next month.
Woman Hurt in a Runaway.
Texarkana: While out driving Mrs.
F. C. Dumbeck of Kansas City, visiting
the family of her father, Capt. J. T.
Roseborough, was thrown from the
buggy and sustained a broken ankle
and was otherwise painfully injured.
The horse took fright and ran for sev-
eral blocks, completely demolishing
the vehicle. Mrs. L. P. Beidleman, sis-
ter of Mrs. Dumbeck, and two small
children were also in the buggy, but
they escaped practically unhurt. It is
considered almost a miracle that none
of the party was killed.
i when calamity breaks upon the coun-
try. Her aim is to establish central
executive officers in the larger cities
like St. Louis, New Orleans, Galveston,
Dallas, Fort Worth, etc., and other
manufacturing centers, which will di-
rect a new educational movement in
first aid to the injured. Every little
city or town will then have its local
branch equipped and instructed to
furnish first aid and treatment to the
injured. Out of the national fund per-
manent executive offices may be erect-
ed, which will be the home of the Na-
tional Red Cross Cociety. Thus some-
thing permanent for the aid of human-
ity will be established. A preliminary
organization of branch No. 1 has been
effected here in her home town.
The Independent Long-distance tel-
ephone lines of Texas, known as the
Commercial Telegraph and Telephone
company of Texas, have passed into

charge.
The International and Great North-
ern and Denver roads have completed
a contract for hauling 350 cars of sil-
ver from Galveston to Pueblo, Col. The
silver was shipped . by water from
Chile to Galveston and there loaded in
sealed cars and shipped to its destina-
tion.
James Wilson, a negro, whom a mob
attempted to lynch on July 25, causing

term in prison.
Dumb Child Deserted.
Paris: Baggagemaster C. E. Thorne
of the Texas and Pacific found a lit-

I “Goliath, a Type of Worldly Power.”
—1 Sam. 17: 1-31. After David’s in-
troduction to Saul’s court an event oc-
curred which stirred the nation to its
core and profoundly influenced the for-
tunes of both Saul and David. This was
a powerful attack from those hereditary
foes of the Israelites, the Philistines, who
had recovered from their defeat at Mich-
mash (I Sam. 14).
As the two armies faced each other,
Goliath, of Gath, stepped forth from the
Philistine troops and challenged any Is-
raelite to decide the war by single com-
bat. The challenge was renewed, morning
and evening, for forty days, not even the
bold Jonathan daring to accept it; for
Goliath was a formidable giant, 9 feet
8 inches high, taking the cubit at about
18 inches, and more than 10 feet high if
we take the longer cubit. The length of
the cubit varied at different times.
An unexpected champion redeemed the
Hebrew cause. David, sent from tending
his father’s sheep to bear food to his.
three elder brothers a few hours’ walk
away, happened to hear Goliath’s boast-
ful challenge and learned of the terror it
had inspired. He also heard that Saul
had offered to any one who would con-
quer Goliath immense wealth, his own
daughter in marriage and political free-,
dom for his father’s house. At once he
presented himself for the trial.
Goliath, a Type of Worldliness. 1. In
his bulk. The church, struggling against
the world, often finds vast forces ar-
rayed against it—millions of money,
armies of men, mighty reputations, but,
the world, like Goliath, can be humbled
by God at a touch. No sincere reform-
er has ever attacked it in vain.
II. “David, a Type of the Christian,
Fighting against Evil.”—I Sam. 17: 32-37.
Lessons from David. If Goliath is a fit
type of the evil world, how is David a
fit type of the man of God fighting
against it?
1. In his apparent insignificance. Even
yet, after all these centuries, the church
seems weak, in money and other re-
sources, compared with the immense
wealth and power of opposing evils such,
as saloons, war and political corruption.
2. In his real power. “One, with God,
is a majority.”
III. “Saul’s Armor: Every Man to his
Own Weapon.”—Vs. 38-40. “Saul armed
David with his armour. An helmet of
brass. A coat of mail.”
39. “And David girded his sword upon
his armour." Fastening it to the military
dress worn underneath the corselet. “And
he assayed to go.” He tried to walk, but
staggered. Therefore he frankly told
Saul, “I cannot go with these.”
“And David put them off him.”
40. “And he took his staff in his hand.
And chose him five smooth stones out
of the brook.” Smooth, that they might
fly more swiftly and accurately; five, tc
use in succession, if the first failed.
“And put them in a shepherd’s bag
which he had, even in a scrip.” The
scrip was a small leather bag, especial-
ly the wallet in which a traveler would
carry food and other necessaries. “And
his sling was in his hand.”
The Lesson for Us. Every Christian has
his own best way of doing work for God.
Every one can do something, and no
Christian should rest till he has discov-
ered his talent and put it to use.
IV. “Goliath’s Disdain: How the World
Scorns the Man of God.”—Vs. 41-44. 41.
“The Philistine came on. And the man
that bare the shield went before him.”
His armour-bearer, whose duty it was
(Hastings) to carry the great shield, col-
lect arrows hurled against him for him to
discharge again, and slay those whom his
chief struck down.
43. “Am I a dog.” Eastern town dogs
are public scavengers, degenerate and
despised. “That thou comest to me with
staves?” Goliath did not notice the sling.
“The staff was ordinarily employed not
against men but beasts.”—Erdmann.
V. “David’s Confidence: How God’s
Men Should Meet the World."—Vs. 45-
47. David was not a man to be daunted
by big words. He made light of the
giant’s ponderous weapons.
45. "Thou comest . . . with a shield.
But I come to thee in the name of the
Lord of hosts,” the hosts of heaven, oi
the armies of Israel, or both. “The God
of the armies of Israel.”
46. “This day will the Lord deliver
thee into mine hand.” It was God who
was to conquer, and not David. Therein
did David’s confident claims differ from
Goliath’s empty boasts. “Unto the fowls
of the air.” David repeats Goliath’s
threat (v. 44). “That all the earth may
know that there is a God in Israel.”
The Christian’s Confidence. 1. It knows
God’s power. 2. It trusts God’s prom-
ises. 3. It remembers the victories of
the past. 4. It seeks God’s glory and
not its own. 5. It boldly faces overwhelm-
ing odds.
VI. “David’s Victory: Trust in God Jus-
tified.”—Vs. 48-50, and to the end of the
chapter. 48. “The Philistine . . . drew
nigh.” In his contempt and anger very
likely Goliath did not stop to receive from
his armour-bearer either his helmet or
his shield. “David hasted and ran toward
the army” (the Philistine troops drawn
up) “to meet the Philistine.”
49. “Took thence a stone and slang it,”
first whirling his sling around his head.
“And smote the Philistine in his fore-
head.” Goliath’s armour, if, indeed, he
wore the whole of it, covered all his per-
son but his eyes and the part of his fore-
head just above—almost the only part
where a small stone hurled from a sling
couid inflict a fatal injury. “That the
stone sunk into his forehead.” Goliath’s
forehead would be an easy mark for
David. “And he fell upon his face to the
earth.”
Dismayed at the fall of their champion,
the Philistines fled, while the Israelites
pursued them hotly for nearly twenty-
five miles, slaying many, till they found
refuge in their fortified cities, Ekron and
Gath.
David’s Combat—A Type of Christian
Experience. As David was amazed at the
supineness of the Hebrew warriors and
indignant at the insults offered by Go-
liath, so every Christian should be eager
to avenge upon Satan the insults he of-
fers constantly to Christ. Like David,
we must reject the weapons of the world
—selfish prudence, cynical maxims, regard
for money and the like. But, like David,
we must use some weapon—the one that
Sod has given us. Each soul has his
own best way of fighting God’s enemies
and doing God’s work. Discover that way,
practice it. use it.
