11$ NO WORSE" This Is the Official Declaration at Close of Second Week of Pope’s Illness. Astonishing Amelioration of the Condition of the Pontiff Who Is Looked Upon As Dying. The Latest Bulletin Declares the August Patient to Be a Little Less Depressed. Rome, July 18. —“I canrot say the pope is better, but he is no worse.” In these words Dr. Lapponi summed : up the pontiff's condition at the end of the second week of his illness, in all the varying periods of which the pontiff has scarcely had a quieter day than this, with the result that the la- | test official bulletin declares him to be 1 a litle less depressed. Yesterday the pope complained of soreness, due to the many days he had passed In bed. To relieve this, and to humor it, the patient was allowed to sit in his armchair for a short time, ■with apparent good effect. The celebration of a mass in honor of St. Leo. and the pope’s conversation with Monsignor Plfferi were the only other incidents which relieved the tedium of the sick chamber. From the last examination of the pope it appears that the liquid in the pleura remains at about the same level, which is marked with a dermographic pencil on the pontiff's side. The physicians think the liquid amounts to about 1,200 grams. Considering the physical condition of the pope the doctors do not believe it possible that his body can absorb it, as might a strong, young, well-nourished organism. The pope received Cardinal Rampolla, who again gave the pontiff a full report of the prayers offered in his behalf all over the world. His holiness, raising both hands, said. ”1 bless all those who pray to God for me.” In Vatican circles there is gossiping over the continuous preparations for the death of the pontiff. A huge spit, twelve feet long, which has been used for roasting food for the conclave since the time of Gregory XVI, has been brought from an old store room and will be employed to roast quarters of beef for the isolated cardinals while they are deliberating in the conclave over the election of the successor to Leo XIII. Pope Has His Picture Taken. Rome, July 18.—When Dr. Mazzon! entered the sick room yesterday morni tng and found the pope seated in his arm chair and feeling less exhausted, he said: "What would you say. holy father, if the doctor transformed himself into a photographer?” "By all means, my good Mazzoni,” replied Pope Leo. smiling. Dr. Mazzoni then produced a camera and took a dozen shots of Pope Leo. who was taken seated with Dr. Lapponi standing beside him and his valet. Centra, kneeling at his feet BRADSTREET’S REVIEW. Much of Prevent Optimism Baaed Upon the Weather. New York, July 18.—Bradstreet’s weekly review of trade to-day says: Wellntgh perfect summer weather helps crops. Increases confidence in fall trade and stimulates retail and summer resort business. Lower prices for many staples are really an encouraging development because favorable to a wider and freer use of products heretofore impracticable under past abnormal conditions. Six months' railway earnings returns—two-thirds of the country’s mileage represented—show a gain of over 13 per cent, over the best ever recorded, while roads thus far reporting for the first week of July show a gain of nearly 16 per i cent. These figures confirm the claim ; that present business is the largest ! ever handled for a midsummer period. Japan In Good Shape. Tokfo, July 18.—The Bank of Japan’3 gold reserve is 173,000,000 yen, against 200,000,000 yon in notes, an unprecedented situation The rate of in terest is gradually falling and new joint stock undertakings are being' floated.

Hammond, Ind., July 18.—Clinton Taylor, a w<>althy farmer of Creston, while his wife was shopping in a neighboring town, cut the clothes line and hung himself under his favorite apple tree. When his wife returned from her shopping to show him her purchases, she was horrified to discover bls dead body dangling from a limb. Two Thousand Return to Work.

LEFT NO ADDRESS City Clerk at Kendallville Quietly Takes His Departure. Disappointment In Meeting Business Engagements Is Said to Be Cause for Absence.
