VENERABLE HEAD OF THE CATHOLIC WORLD IS NO MORE,

Goy. Durbin of Indiana held a long conference with several officers of the National Guard the other afternoon over the recent discharge of members of the militia by their employers, and it wasagreed that something would have to be done to protect men who were willing to serve the State, both from loss of positions and from Che opposition to the militia by the labor unions. Captain H. M. Franklin of Company II declared that if a man cannot respond to the call of his State without imperiling his means of making a Hying it will not be long until a condition of anarchy will exist. As a result of the Attorney General’s investigation, a statute has been found Which will apply to permits who discharge employes for belonging to the militia. The statute makes it a federal offense to discharge a militiaman because of hiia service with She State, and provides both for fine and imprisonment. After being in session for nearly two weeks, the Evansville grand jury called to investigate the recent riots there adjourned. Part of the final report follows;

VHRNICE N. BRINER,

Proprietor.

Statesman, Ruler, Diplomat, Autlior, Moralist, Priest, Bishop, and for a Quarter of a Century the Spiritual Head of 230,000,000 Catholics.

Pope Leo XIII., for a quarter of a century the spiritual head of 250,000,000 Catholics, is dead. The pontiff was in his 94th 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 Borrowing sympathy. The final illness of his holiness began with the fatigue of the drive he took in the Vatican gardens on Wednesday, July 1. His medical attendants, Drs. Lapponl and Mazzoni, advised against the taking of this drive, but the determination of the Pope to look over the gardens he had loved so long and so well could, not be gainsaid. On his return from this firive of an hour and a half he showed signs of exhaustion. Prom this time his frail life had been ebbing like the passing of a low wind. By Friday morning Ms holiness had developed what his physicians described as senile pneumonia. It was the first time in the history of his long and eventful life that the breakdown of his won-

PAST AND PRESENT

AS IT COMES TO US FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE EARTH.

“That the members of the various militia companies should be sought out and ostracised for doing their duty in maintaining the law, preserving peace and restoring order is beyond our comprehension. From an examination of witnesses it was conclusively established that the unfortunate affray of the night of July (Iwas brought on by riotous hoodlums. The soldiers were attacked by the mob that fired the first shots, and in self-defense' the soldiers returned the fire. Now is the time for the officers of the law to establish such a precedent as will ever be a lesson to those of anarchistic tendencies that the law is supreme.”

Remarkable Funeral Sermon.

A remarkable funeral sermon was preached at Louisville, Ky., over former Fire Chief Hughes by his friend, Kev. Steve Holcombe, who was formerly a gambler, and associated as such, with Hughes. After paying a tribute t> Hughes’ many good traits. Holcombe said he could not leave the impression that his friend had lived the life he should and that the audience shi uld realize that the evil associations he kept were such as to lead to moral ruin. He said he was confident that Hughes himself would approve the warning he drew from his life and that the state of affairs in Louisville was such that he could not evade hjs duty. Thousands attended the.funeral.

The foreign crop report of the Department of Agriculture, just out, based on advices received by the foreign statistical agent of the department at London as late as July 1, is in brief as follows t In Russit meteorological conditions have been in the highest degree favorable for the development of cereal crops in most partis of European Russia and harvest prospects are considerably improved, even in regions where conditions at the beginning of spring were unfavorable. In Germany a great improvement in ail the winter cereals, particularly in winter rye, has been shown the last month. The condition of every crop in thd middle of June is 'officially reported above medium, though winter Wheat, potatoes and lucern were considerably nearer to good than medium, and all the others are graded about midway between the two conditions. Only an approximately good medium harvest of the spring crops in Austria is to be counted on at best. Maize promises well there.

Boy Killed by a Golf Ball.

Walter Corbeille, 15 years old, was struck in the right temple by a golf ball at Houghton, Mich., and died three hours afterward. Several youngsters were playing, when John Lapierre, 15 years old, drove. Corbeille was fifty feet away and was hit on the head. He dropped to the ground unconscious. Compahions had warned him to get out of the way, but he dodged behind a marker, placed his hands over his face and said: 'Tlere’s where 1 get killed.”

POPE LEO xin.

Hold Wheat for Dollar Mark,

Jerful system seemed imminent. His stomach refused to act. His lungs congested. Breathing seemed impossible. The most heroic restoratives were applied and brought some relief. The illness first described as senile pneumonia soon developed into plouro-pneumonia, the pleura, or membrane surrounding the lung, becoming inflamed. From the time this symptom developed his holiness lay li-an. Hie In-ink of eternity.

Everett, president of the American Society of Equity, a farmers’ organization, has issued an appeal to farmers to hold their wheat for the $1 mark, it was addiessed especially to the farmers of Kansas, among whom organizers and lecturers are notv working, besides the appeal, which will be sent to every town iu the .great Kansas wheat belt, 100,000 special appeal papers of the organization \vm be mailed.to -t»—UmArheatstates.

necessary to perform operations on the]' Pope to give him relief. After the second operation the' Pope gradually gained strength until thei following Sunday. By Saturday afternoon he was so much better that many at the Vatican hoped for his recovery. On' Thursday, Friday and Saturday he held conferences in his chamber with Cardinal Bampolla and other prelates regarding the affairs of the church, and On Saturday, with the permission of his physicians, he received a visit from two of his nieces. On Monday night, July 6, he sank so low that his physicians thought he was dying. He then received extreme unction, the last rite of the church for the dying. The following Saturday and again Sunday he heard mass read. Thus bravely fighting to prolong his life of usefulness on earth and serenely awaiting the summons that should call him to eternity, Pope Leo XIII. sank peacefully into his long rest. Notwithstanding his physical sufferings the Pope’s mind remained active and brilliant almost to the last. He 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 tlie 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 am ready to depart,” he said to a relative, Count Pecci, “having settled all my affairs. X feel X have done all in my [)ower for the good of the church and of humanity.” 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 ids great, abiding faith in hu- ' manity made him worthy of the title of 1 Great.

Storms and floods have caused extensive damage to crops and vineyards in Italy. In France the estimated area of winter wheat is (581,724 acres less than in 1002. A marked improvement in wheat and other crops occurred there during June and the crops now are doing well. Generally favorable reports como from Denmark. In Great Britain the wheat crop is everywhere somewhat late and hardly can come up to an average yield. Advices to the department from the government of India estimate the total wheat crop harvested there in the spring of 1903 at 299.261,104 bushels, against a yield of 220,370,800 bushels in the previous year. The final estimates of the department on the tobacco crop of 1902 in the United States are announced as follows: Acreage, 1,030.734; production, 821,823,963 pounds: value, $57,563,510.

ICE STORM IN CHICAGO.

Terrific Fall of Hall Causes Damage

Throughout the City,

The most terrific hail storm that has visited Chicago in years descended on the city at noon Tuesday and hurled great, jagged chunks of ice upon the streets and buildings for nearly a quarter of an hour. Horses, driven frantic by terror and pain caused by the stonas, ran away. Windows were shattered. Foliage in the parks and on the boulevards was destroyed. Many persons were bruised and battered by the chunks of ice. Some of the stones were over an inch in diameter.

Tlie downfall was heralded by a brisk gale which blew up shortly before noon and covered the sky with gray clouds. Out of these there came first heavy sheets of rain, which served as a warning. Then, in slanting streams, the hailstones shot down, pounding against windows and on the streets in a terrific din. First the storm was only an ordinary one, with the drops of hail small and white. Soon, however, those increased to a formidable size, with a formation of sharp, jagged poiirts, flat and circular. Like a battery of canuister they descend ed, wreaking havoc to windows, arc lights, trees and foliage. The storm was purely local, the weather man said, and had nothing to do with that which'occurred in Minnesota and Iowa the day previous.

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 men 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.

The total arrivals for the twelve months numbered 857,-0-1C, being G8,054 above the previous record year of 1883, when restrictive legislation was pending in Congress, and a total of 788,092 immigrants, many of them alien contract laborers, were rushed into the United States,

His policy, character and general disposition gained for him the friendship of monareihs, diplomats and the humblest of every laud.—Bishop Pihalan, Pittsburg. Never was supreme pontiff loved, by his people, never did supreme pontiff merit that love and devotion. No pope ever did more for the advanvement of art, religion and science; no pope or king or emperor ever more deeply touched the great heart of the people and held them as his own. —Bishop Rouxel, New Orleans. He was a great and good man, and history will preserve his name among the most illustrious of the popes. His heart, love and hopes were strongly drawn toward America. He looked on the United States as the foster mother of a more Christian humanity, a more humane social system and a more equitabla civie order.—Vicar General Bryne, Boston
