DEATH OF POPE LEO.

VENERABLE HEAD OF THE CATHOLIC WORLD IS NO MORE. Statesman, Itnler, Diplomat, Author, Moralist, Priest, Bialiop, and fora Quarter of a Centnry the Spirit ial Head of 230,000,000 Catholics. Pope Leo XIII., for a quarter of a centnry the spiritual head of 250,000,000 Catholics, is dead. The pontiff was in his 04th year. As statesman, ruler, diplomat, author and moralist he was greatly beloved by his adherents, and the wide world, irrespective of creed, or race, or grade of civilization, expresses oorrowing sympathy. For three weeks the venerable pontiff, whose years spanned almost a century of time and whose great activity as ruler for a quarter of a century of the moral and religious forces pf the Catholic world has been the marvel of contemporaneous history, battled with pneumonia. He was taken with a chill while driving in the Vatican gardens and soon congestion of one of the lungs set in. Dr. Luigi Lapponi, the Pope’s personal physician, at once took the distinguished patient in charge and with the assistance of Dr. Gaetano Mazzoni, was in almost con-stant-attendance. The great age of the Pope and his enfeebled condition lent but little encouragement to t. e physicians in

their hope of successful treatment, and almost from .the beginning artificial means were employed—not so much to effect a cure as to temporarily prolong life.

Notwithstanding his physical sufferings the Pope’s mind remained active and brilliant almost to the last. lie appointed Mgr. Volponi to the vacant secretaryship of the Consitorial congregation, an appointment the importance of which is readily seen when it is considered that on the Pope’s death the duties of the secretary of state are immediately assumed by the secretary of the congregation. Thus with his eyes looking into the face of death he interested himself in guarding against any confusion consequent upon his passing away.

The Pope had no fear of the final dissolution. He spoke of life and death with equal serenity. “I atn ready to depart,” he said to a relative. Count Peeei, “having settled all my affairs. I feel I have done all in my power for the good of the church and of humauity.” And yet in Pope Leo as lie calmly faced the inevitable end there was much of the human side of our uature. He made eager inquiries as to the telegrams of sympathy and inquiry received from all over the world. These messages poured into the Vatican at the rate of 500 a day. In the death of the venerable pontiff the world has lost a grand and most attractive character. He was great not only as the spiritual head of 250,000,000 subjects, but great in the realms of diplomacy and statecraft, and above all in his broad love for mankind. The purity and simplicity of his life, his efforts, on behalf of social and religious improvement and his great, abidiug faith in humanity made him worthy of the title of Great. As a ruler he was remarkably successful. The condition in which he found the church, shorn of its temporal power at home and at variance with different governments abroad; the embarrassments under which he labored and the obstacles he had to overcome, measured beside its progress since he assumed sovereignty, in 1878. prove him to have been one of

the great masters of politics and diplomacy, as well as of religious propaganda. Few men had a keener appreciation of the political tendencies of the time and no leader of meu conformed more skillfully to the world’s advancement and the constant evolution of thought, discovery, commerce and government. He was the most liberal and democratic of all the pontiffs who have sat in the papal chair and his sympathies were with the party of progress everywhere. His Career. Pope Leo was born iu Carpineto, Italy, in 1810, the family name being Pecci. When S years old he entered the Jesuit college nt Viterbo and later the schools »f the Roman College, where he studied physics and mathematics. He next took up the study of theology, which ha completed in the Roman University, winning high honors in his classes. In 1857 he was ordained priest and was assigned to the governorship of Ben-

evento. The people there wefe heavily oppressed, by the officials and nobles and brigandage, encouraged by some of the higher classes, flourished with impunity. To redress these grievances the young priest immediately, addressed himself. From the peasants themselves ffe learned the story of their wrongs, and he promptly brought the nobles and officials to tark. The success of the young cleric in ridding Benevento of brigands earned him promotion to the more important post at Perugia, and here also he was uniformly successful. When he left Perugia there was not a single criminal in the entire population. In 1843 Father Pecci was made titular archbishop of Damietta and after his consecratiou was sent as nuncio, on a diplomatic mission to Belgium. His mission was entirely successful and in 1840 Bishop Pecci returned as archbishop of Perugia. During the thirty-two years of his administration there he, built thir-ty-six churches and restored and enlarged many others. Becomes Pope. In 1853 he was made a cardinal by Pope Pius IX. and in 1878 he succeeded that pontiff as the rqling head of the Catholic Church, taking the name of Leo, after Pope Leo XII., for whom he had a great veneration. The condition of the affairs of the church at the time was,far from satisfactory. In Italy there existed a rupture between the Vatican and the government of unified Italy, while there was hardly a single European power with which the Holy See was on anything like friendly terms. Many people in Italy thought that the new pontiff would modify the policy of Pius IX. and effect a reconciliation with the Quirinal, and thus his election was favorably received by all parties, a 3 all parties then wished to see an end to the war between church and state. But Leo XIII. doomed them to disappointment. In his first encyclical he adhered to the policy of his predecessor, and such was his course until the end. Several times during liis reign and as a result of the rupture between the Vatican and Quirinal Leo was almost constrained to remove the papal seat from Rome; but before final action was taken other counsels prevailed, nnd the official seat of the Catholic Church still remains in the Eternal City. Friend of Wor'king Classes. Throughout his entire life, but more especially during bis pontifical administration, Pope Leo was deeply interested in the welfare of the working classes and in several of his encyclicals, dealing with the labor question, he discussed labor matters with a clearness, a good judgment and a justice that won for him much commendation and praise. One of the great eveuts in his reign was the celebration of liis sacrcdokal jubilee in 1887. It afforded a striking proof of the large place the papacy holds ‘in the world. From all parts of the globe, even from China, Japan, Persia and Morocco, deputations pressed to the Vatican, bearing gifts to the distinguished pontiff. One of the .most acceptable of these gifts was a copy of the constitution of the United States presented by President Cleveland. Pope Leo was always of delicate appearance, and when he was elected in 1878 few thought that he would live many months. He was of a nervous temperament and years of fasting and privation gave him a leanness of figure that was phenomenal. But his capacity for work was remarkable and four secretaries of state died by his side.

Leo’s Personal Appearance. Years ago a writer, describing him, says: “In appearance’ the Pope is a very old man. His thiu and angular features, his alabaster complexion, the trembling of his hands, his bowed form, the almost diaphanous aspect of his entire figure would mark him as a man on the threshold of extreme old age. But when he speaks and becomes animated this impression immediately vanishes and one feels that there is beneath this fragile envelope a powerful life and that tha blade is infinitely superior to the sheath that covers it. His voice, especially when he speaks in public, has retained its ring, slightly nasal, by the way, and his eyes have lost none of their fire. Oh, the eyes of Leo XIII! When one has seen them they can never be forgotten. One would think they were two black diamonds so brilliant are they. They give an extraordinary vivacity to his expression and there is something inexpressibly piercing in their regard.” Some of Hia Labors. In Germany'Pope Leo found the Catholics oppressed, and he addressed himseif to the removal or modification of their grievances. For a long time correspondence was carried on between the Vatican and German government, and finally iu ISBG the Falk laws, of which Catholics complained so deply, were virtually abolished. He succeeded in obtaining fuller rights for Catholics in Russia and in the dominions of the Sultan, and he healed a schism which had broken out in Asia Minor. With Catholic France he was less successful, aud he was unable to prevent the suppression of religious societies iu that country. lie remained, however, on moderately friendly terms with the successive governments of the republic. In Switzerland he put an end to a body of laws which had existed for fifteen years and had borne heavily on the Catholics; and in Belgium he modified the action of the government and induced it. to receive a papal nuncio at Brussels. One of his memorable acts was the settlement of a dispute la-tween Spain and Germany over the Carolines. Ills decision as arbitrator was received by both sides with satisfaction, th<fitgb the decision was adverse to Germany. In the affairs of the American branch of the church Pope Leo always took the deepest interest. Under him the American college in Rome, for the training of Americans to the priesthood, was established, ns was also the Catholic University at Washington. In 1893 he completed the work of raising this country from the rank of « missionary district and in that year Mgr. Satolli was made apostolic delegate to the United States

Henry W. Warner was suspended from the New York Stock Exchange for one year.

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTB OF THE PABT WEEK. finail Cure for a Corn May Cause Loss of a Foot—Barber Who Had Data la. His Ear—State Wheat Yield Not Bo Bad. The snail cure for n corn may cause Miss Cora Hogue, a farmer’s daughter, residing in Blackford County, to lose her foot. She was suffering with a com, and heT father, following an old tradition that a snail could remove the growth, obtained one and applied It. Her foot is now swollen to twice its natural size, and it is feared amputation may be necessary. Physicians say there is nothing poisonous about a snail, and are unable to account for the result. Value of Machinery. To emphasize the wonderful change in the manner of farming with improved machinery, the Goshen News-Times points to the record of Adam J. Yoder, who, with his two sons, put out fortyfour acres of wheat and rye and cut and put in his barn eighty-two loads of hay, besides looking after other crops. Yoder made use of all the modem impleanen'i of farming. It is stated that this amom t of work could not be accomplished by the saipe men with the o!d methods in an entire season. Had Oats in Ilia Far. Pink Miller, an Anderson barber, felt a familiar pain in liis ear, and. inserting an earspoon, drew out an oats grain. The grain had been in Miller’s head twenty years. 'When a boy he was playing in his father’s barn, the grain finding its way into his ear at that time. Ever since he has suffered pain. At nights he was obliged to lie on the ear or suffer agony. Specialists failed to give him relief, but now lie is happy. The grain is being exhibited in liis shop.

Wheat Yield Not So Bad. Farmers throughout the State are being agreeably surprised at the yield of wheat. First reports that the crop would not average over twelve bushels to the acre are not holding good. Robert Ogle, Tipton County, threshed nineteen acres of wheat and Obtained 308 bushels of good grain. lie sold the grain for 70 cents a bushel. The yield was a little more than sixteen bushels to the acre. Wealth Awaits Indiana M 11. Joseph Scott of Wantah has receivea letter from New York solicitors informing him that lie is one of the heir* to an estate of more than $1,000,000, lift by his great-grandfather. He will go to New York to investigate. All Over the State. William Goff, a farm hand..was found dead in a buggy iu a barnyard near Gilead. The Indiana world's fair commission has made an appropriation of ss.oiX> additional for a jpecial corn exhibit. John Lingart, a shipbuilder from Chicago, en route to Indianapolis, walked off a train at Ivouts, receiving injuries which may prove fatal. Clifford Rust, Marion, has secured a patent on a device which feeds clay into brick and tile machines. The machine is said to do the work of several men. Because Ed Moore, n saloonkeeper of Lowell, objected to a bill of SI.BO Justin Trelease fired four shots at the debtor, two of which took effect. Moore is not expected to live. The bridge over Nolan's fork at Fountain City gave wSy. precipitating fifty people into the water. I.nther Horn of Bethel was fatally hurt. The others escaped with slight injuries. Ernest West, 20 years old, was arrested and placed in jail at Logansport, charged with assaulting Nettie Frick, 16 years old. He escaped on a bicycle, but was caught in the woods and confessed his guilt. Mrs. Mary Sands, wife of W. E. G. Sands of Auburn, and Charles Pickett, from the same town, have been arrested in Kansas City, Mo., on a charge of deserting their families and eloping three weeks ago. Henry Asher and John Powell, small negro boys at Newbtirg, held Roy Moore, a white boy, aged 12, tied paper to his clothing and sot it' on fire. The Moore boy reached home and his parents extinguished the flames. He was not seriously burned. Emma Schwab, daughter of Michael Schwab of Vincennes, has been missing for several days and no trace of her can be found. When seen last she was in the company of a young man of the city. Her sudden disappearance has caused her parents much anxiety. Foul play is. suspected and arrests may be made.

In the health report made by the county health officer, was recorded the ease of a Richmond woman, aged 29 years, whose name is not made public, who recently became the mother of her tenth child. There were no piural births. Dr. Grant says the case is unparalleled iu tho State, and probably in the United States. The white employes of the Princeton Transfer Company notified tho proprietors that they must discharge their col-i ored employes or the white men would quit. As a result cf their -threat the proprietors discharged several of their best horsemen and all the negro hands around the barus and employed white men to do the work. Deeds have been ordered for 4.000 acres* of mineral land in Iladdon township. The deeds are. made iu the name of J. K. Deering of Chicago, as trustee. The deal represents over $200,000. It is probable that Mr. Deering represents the International Harvester Company, who will sink mines to furnish fuel for their manufacturing concerns. William Wolf tried to save a horse at the Lake Erie crossing at Peru aud a train from Indianapolis killed them both. A team belonging to Zcb Rose, Seymour, ran away and plnnged into a show window, breaking two large plate glasses. The coroner at Terre Haute uas decided that Mrs. Gilmore, who was found dead, was not murdered, but died as the result of a fall. Mr*. John M. Waugh, wife of a banker la Colfax, committed suicide by hanging herself in the barn. She left a note stating that her brain seemed to be on fire and she wished to die.

eoived 011 the New York Stock Exchange. Various explanations of the sensational fall are offered—that the country is about entering upon n period of commercial depression; that the insiders want to squeeze out the small stockholders, and that the dividend on the common stock —now 4 per cent —is to be passed at Che next quarterly meeting. In Pittsburg, the center of the steel trust’s operations, it is declared that the weakness in the stock was due to manipulation. Prominent financiers declared that the present board of directors of the trust lost control of the stock some time ago, and that' any well balanced pool could have secured control, and in the event of an election couhl have seriously threatened the power of J. T. Morgan & Co. From men known to be close to the leaders in the trust comes the declaration, through New York dispatches, that the slump is due to a raid. A banker

J. PIERPONT MORGAN.

who had called on Mr. Morgan charged John W. Gates with being the leader iu the attack. “This development is not liquidation,” he declared, "if a man liquidates he tries to get the best possible price, but the sellers did not stand on any price. It was a case of ‘soak, soak, soak,’ and the lower the price went the better they liked it. In my opinion the attack is made on steel in order to distract attention from the buying of railroad stocks.”

FOUR WOUNDED IN AFFRAY.

lowa Marohai and Party of Horae Traders in Battle. Four persons were injured, one fatally, in a battle betweou horse traders and the authorities of the town of Eddyville, lowa. James St. John, one of tlie horse traders, was shot in the abdomen. Town Marshal John McHugh was shot in the arm, and the wound is serious.

St. John was taken to the hospital, and the others of’the gang are iu jail. There are seven or eight of them, including three women. The men were all armed. The battle took place at daylight.

The Comic Side of The News

Tramps are scarce in Kansas. They are not looking for work. Lockjaw statistics continue to remind us that we are a patriotic people. It does not take a scientist to show that heat expands the price of ice. Evansville and Belleville must be trying to qualify as suburbs of hades. Gen. Cassius M. Clay is regarded as crazy by his relations because he loves his wife. At I.ebanon. Pa., a man was legally hanged the other day. Where were the lynchers? Those fellows who tried to comer cotton forgot to have a few fluffy bales on which to alight. Judge Brewer's opinion that lynching is murder would hardly impress those who thought it was a Sunday school picnic. College students who rushed to Kansas have now discovered that helping in the harvest field is a great occupation to read about. If the navy impresses Enropenu rulers they should see the army. Gen. Miles in his new uniform would force them to put on green goggles. If King Peter inspired the murder he doubtless has a man who will swear tc his surprise when the news was broken to him in Geneva. One feature of the situation is that the next time Gov.
