HOT WEATHER IN ROME

ROME, July Is. l2:45 p.m.-The pope con-
tnues in the same enfeebled state. but
there is indication of an approaching
crisis. His condition appears to have lapsed
into one of indefinite suspense, with the
ever present danger OF fatal turn. Yet
there is no immediate fear that such
change is near.
Condition Stationary.
During the morning the pontif remained
comparatively quiet. getting some sleep and
seeing no one except the doctors and his
immediate attendants. For three days the
official bulletins have practically been un-
changed, showing the patients condition
to be almost stationary. An Italian prov
erb says: when the patient does not get
worse he improves very much. but, with
the pope, after the last two weeks expert
ence, everybody has renounced making any
predictions.
Undoubtedly symptoms of amelioration
exist as while on Thursday morning when
the peuratic fluid gathered. his respira-
ton reached &C. today. when the liquid is
lowering. it fell to -. In fact. it is known
that DR.. Lapponi and DIR. Mazzoni discussed
the question whether to announce an ameli-
Grafton In this mornings bulletin, but
abandoned the idea, so as not to IA Sc eX-
cessive optimism.
The heat is beginning to increase. The
shutters of the pope's bed room window are
almost closed, the window is open and the
cutrains are drawn back. 1t is reported
that steps will be taken to install elec-
trio fan IN the room.
Italy and the Vatican.
The cabinet ministers have held several
| meetings to discuss the attitude of the
government on the death of the pope and
it has been decided that If the Vatican
notifies the Italian government of his death,
as it has done in the case of the death Of
other distinguished prelates. Italy will not
officially participate in any manifestations
of mourning. but limit herself to maintain
ing public order and insurng full liberty
for the conclave, as prescribed by law.
In arriving at such decision the minis
ters declared that they had been guided by
| the wish to protect the dignity of the state,
and by lack of respect for the aged
| pontiff. towards whom there have been
most chivalrous manifestations of SYM
pathy from the king, who postponed his
journey to Paris on account of the pope
health and from the whole people, who are
participating in the universal feeling OF
regret at the pontiff's illness. thus for
getting the traditional struggle between
church and state.

dead, with the exception of few reaches
that had secreted themselves between the
sash and frame of a loosely fitting win
dow and had thus secured enough air to
prevent them from being killed. Two ex-
periments along this line tried by Mr.. A.
H. Kirkland, an eminent entomologist of
Boston, are of interest in this connection.
One was in a closed house. the inhabit
ants of which were away for the sum-
mer and which was overrun with clothes
moths, and the other was in a similar
house which had become infested with
fieas, from the fact that flea eggs had been
left there in the sleeping places of certain
domestic pets. Mr. Kirkland used one
ounce of pure cyanide of potassium to
every 100 cubic feet of space. He used
ordinary porcelain wash basins, and, be-
ginning at the top of the house, dropped
his cyanide in each basin, running down
to the lower floors rapidly possible
and closing the outer door behind him.
Everything in the way of a living insect
was killed in both of these experiments,
and it is interesting to note that two En-
glsh sparrows which had alighted upon
the ridge pole were overcome by the slight
fumes that exuded from the roof. The
houses were opened the next morning and
thoroughly aired

Cigars.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is announced that the cigar war is
over and that hereafter people who have
been able to buy fifteen-cent cigar for
fourteen cents will be denied that privi-
lege To many this will involve no hard
ship, because most of the cigars that have
been offered to the American public for the
last year have been SO outrageously bad
that some people have given up smoking
altogether, and others will doubtless alb
lure the habit. There was a time when
five cents would buy a quite endurable
cigar, and when almost the best in the
market could be bought for ten cents.
Then the price advanced to ten cents for
the ordinaries and fifteen for the very best
Now you can seldom buy a good cigar for
fifteen cents. Brands of Havana that were
excellent a few months ago have SO dete-
riorated since the rate war that they are
simply rank. One is baShful about Smok-
ing them in company. They are made of
cabbage and onions. If their taste and
smell are indicative of their contents, and
their cost is outrageous, even at cut rates.
1t cannot be that Cuba has ceased to grow
tobacco Nor is it true that the demands
of late additions to the countryS popula-
ton exhaust the best leaf Our new ar
rivals are from Italy and Russia, where
they smoke pipes of the cheapest kind and
where they begrudge the expense of good
cigar The deterioration in smokables is
due simply to greed.
