BOSTON EVENING THAN SCRIPT. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1918 3 Personals Recent Deaths RECENT DEATHS POPE MOURNS RAMPOLLA -I Cutting Off Three Sides Of a Square iiiiiii Thayer McNeil Company Europe, proceeded straight to Rome after leaving Spain. Although he took up his residence at the Qulrlnal as the guest of King Humbert, he was received with the utmost pomp nd ceremony at the Vatican. It was the interview between Emperor Frederick and the pope that brought about the end of the contest between the Vatican and the German Government, which was one of the principal achievements of the reign of Leo XIII. and for which his holiness was in a large measure indebted to his secretary of state.

The latter, ever after he assumed his office, made a special point of attaching himself to no particular party, of which there were several at the Vatican. He was above everything else the pope's man rather than the man of any "articular faction, his most remarkable quality being that of implicit obedience. Rampolla, in fact, strongly brought to mind the earlier figures in the Church. Although a Sicilian, he was quite lacking in the volubility, the volatility and the levity of the Sicilians. Tall, grave, ascetic Xnd silent, one might see In Rampolla one of those who have conferred on the Catholic Church its highest distinction.

374 Washington Street Opp. Bromfleld (2orSJ Latter Remarkable for His Broad Catholicity Played Great Part in Success of Leo XIII. Ended Long Quarrel with German Empire Jealousy Prevented Elevation rto the Papacy Rome, Dec. IT The death of Cardinal Rampolla, former papal secretary of state, was not made known to Pope Pius X. until this morning.

Cardinal Merry Del Val and Monsignor Giovanni Bressan, the popes private secretary, went to see his holiness at an early hour intending to break the sad news as gently as possible. But when the pope heard the name of Cardinal Rampolla coupled with the word ''Indisposition" he grew pale ard begged them to tell him the truth without hesitation, as anxiety and uncertainty affected him more than anything else. The two prelates then told him that Cardinal Rampolla was dead. As recently as Saturday the pope had received Cardinal Rampolla, who was then apparently In his usual good health and spoke lengthily shout many affairs. The pope later Issued the following -tatement: Cardinal Rampolla was one of the greatest men in the church.

He had become even greater since he retired from State The pope ordered that the highest honors should be psid to the deceased cardinal. On Sunday evening last Cardinal Rampolla received Silas McBee, former editor of lha Churchman, and his wife, of New York. He discussed with them the. question of bringing about a better understanding between all the religious sects. Cardinal Rampolla was the closest collaborator with Pope Leo XIII.

In the movement for the reunion of the Christian churches. When Pope Leo was dying a cablegram was received in Rome saying that the American Protestant congregations were praying for his recovery Cardinal Rampolla took the despatch to the dying pontiff, who instructed Cardinal Rampolla to write that the message had been a great consolation to him as It had proved that his scheme for the reunion of the churches was not a dream. Well Yesterday Morning Yesterday morning Cardinal Rampolla went to St. Peters to Inspect the work of restoration of the choir. Later he felt a general Indisposition, which developed in profound prostration.

He refused, however, to allow his secretary to remain with him nil night in the little palace behind St. Peter's, where he had lived since he left the Secretaryship of The cardinal's secretary, alarmed at his condition, consulted a physician, who visited the cardinal but discovered no serious symptoms and ordered Mm to take a complete rest. Later In the evening the cardinal grew worse and had great difficulty in breathing. He sent a messenger hurriedly for his secretary and physician, but when they arrived the cardinal was dead. The doctor said death was due to angina pectoris.

The cardinal's secretary performed the final rites of the Church and then sent for the prelate's sister. Baroness Carolina Rampolla-Pezzana. and Informed Cardinal. Merry del Val. It had been thought In many quarters that Cardinal Rampolla was the most likely candidate for the papal chair In case of the death of the present pope.

Near Selection as Pope Cardinal Rampolla. Marquise del Tin-daro, and one of the very few Italian members of the acred College who was of patrician birth, lived in profound retirement after Austria prevented his selection as pope at the last conclave. The all-powerful Secretary of State of Leo XIII. the man who won universal recognition for his catholicity of tolerance, had up to the time of his death held absolutely aloof from all discussion and Interference with the foreign relations of the Holy Seat and restricted his actions exclusively to those congregations (as the various departments of the pontifical administration are styled) of which he was either president or vice president Leo XIII ascended the papal throne at a time when it was clearly evident that the temporal sway of the Church had ended, never to return. Unlike a large number of his fellow-churchmen, he realised that a new policy must be pursued, a policy which Involved the exacting of Influence by the Church through spiritual, not material, considerations and on this belief the foreign policy of the great pope was based.

Throughout Leo was supported to the extent of a deep personal love and an extraordinary mental capacity by Rampolla, as papal secretary of state, and to his work as well as that of his guiding star, must be credited a large part of Leo's success. Notable Beauty of Character A mystic, discreet. Impenetrable, inaccessible to Intrigue, the secretary of statr; avoided coming in contact with men and did not love politics. Brought up gradually to the higher employments by his beloved master, a hard task master and free from personal Interests as are great saints, he served Leo XIII. and carried out- his sublime designs out obedience and love for the pope.

He smiled with his mysterious smile, amiable or contemptuous, which marked the corner of his Ups and lighted up his pathetic face when he watched the changes of events and the campaigns in the newspapers. He was never heard to utter a complaint against the base attacks or the treachery of which he was so often the object He fulfilled his office as he sang a high mass, out of beauty and piety. His clear conscience and pure intentions raised him very high above the dusty battleground of political intrigue. His motto was: "We must serve only the Holy See and the Church. To guarantee the papacy and the Conclave against the greedy and eager Invasions of parties: to develop the powers of the Holy See and Catholicism and to win back the Independence of the Holy See was his sole ideal.

A Notable Triumph Rampolla was Nuncio at Madrid when the incident of the Carolines occurred, which he turned so skilfully to the moral profit of the Holy See. The great success which the Church derived In this affair, when Germany and Spain left the judgment of their differences to the arbitration of the Pope, was due largely to him. That was toward the end of 1886. Mgr. Rampolla was young he was not yet quite forty-two but no one was surprised to see.

him soon after Invested with the purple and placed In the position that is prominent above all, that of Secretary of State of the Holy See. At this time Ram-polla was the youngest member of the sacred college. It was while acting as nuncio in Madrid that Rompolla began the policy that ultimately led to a reconciliation between the German Government and the papacy and to the termination of that conflict which is known in contemporary history as the Kul-turkampf. It was on the eccaslon of a visit of Emperor Frederick, at that time crown prince, to the late King Alfonso. "Unger Fritz had made all his arrangements to return directly from Madrid to Germany -by way of Barcelona, Genoa and the St.

Gothard. But, as the result of several long and confidential conversations with the nuncio, to whom he seemed to take a great fancy, he changed his Itinerary at the last moment, and, to the astonishment of ali 15 West Street sailed from New York this morning on the France for Havre. After visiting Greece and Egypt, they expect to go to India and thence round the World, returning to Boston In the late spring.

Luce, accompanied by Mrs. liarriette Wood Robinson of Newton, Mr. Gillett Censures President Wilson for Neglect of Civil Service Washington Dec. 17 Arraignment of the Democratic Administration was made in the House yesterday by Representative Gillett of Massachusetts. He said that one distinctive feature of the new political policies had been the dominant force and despotism of the President.

So far," he continued, "his will has been the law in the legislative as well ns in the executive branches, and he might be called a great party leader or an autocratic boss according as the speaker was friendly or hostile. Mr. Gillett declared that a natural deduction from such "absolute leadership and disciplined obedience baa been a display of partisanship and a greed for spoils unexampled in recent history. As a natural corollary to this spirit of partisanship." said he, the old spoils system has been revived and the cause of civil service reform has already suffered more severely during the Administration than in any similar period aftice it was first introduced. This Congress, in Its first session from April to December," said Mr.

Gillett, in summing up, has passed only three important contested bills. The first was the sundry civil bill, the second the tariff bill, the third the deficiency appropriation bill. Each one of them has at the end, Approved; Woodrow The sundry civil bill contains the clause forbidding the use in prosecution of labor unions of certain funds appropriated for the prosecution of offences against the Sherman law. On that account it was vetoed by President Taft as vicious class legislation, but President Wilson signed it, issuing afterwards a statement of his disapproval of the principle contained in that clause. "It Is inconceivable that this bill was first introduced or reported by the committee without consulting with the President and ascertaining his wishes as to the clause which caused President Taft to veto the bill, and the retention of that clause would seem to indicate that President Wilson at that time gave to it his assent.

"The second bill, the tariff bill, contained the clause exempting all income tax collectors from the civil service rules. The President allowed that to go through both Houses and signed it without any expression of disapproval. The third bill, the deficiency bill, excepted employees under marshals and collectors from the civil service, and the President signed It. issuing again an explanatory statement. "He Is a wonderful master of language, but I do not believe bis defensive statements will offset his offensive action, or that he can so easily placate those who feel that he has acquiesced in serious Infractions of the principles in which he believes, letting I dare not wait upon I If to successfully lead and master a Democratic Congress requires the barter of patronage for votes and the betrayal of the civil service system.

I think many will doubt if it is worth the price.
