the family escutcheon bears a burning
brand.
Remote and insignificant as these slight
facts may seem. there are many who be-
lieve. from the fact that ST. Malachv's pre-
d!ctions have so often come true in the past
that the important election may result in
accordance with this prophecy
st. Malachy lived in the Twelfth Century
and was Archbishop of Armagh, his native
town. He was twice in Rome 10 consult
with the Pope and each time returned to
Ireland with blessing. Near the close of
his life he made his prophecy in regard to
the characteristics of the Popes who were
TO come.
The prophecy in extent embraced thirty
Popes. Twenty of these have already
retgned and the twenty-first will soon be
selected.
ONLY ONE EXCEPTION.
The outstanding fact is that with the ex-
ception of but one Pope the individual
prophecies can all be reconciled with the
life and characteristics OF the man for
whom they were made.
This exception is Plus VII. The epigram
for his reign was "aqula rapax," the IRA

His immortal encyclicnls have given bril-

Cardinal Svampa and that he will be ele-

P0PE'S INTIMATE FRIEND,

Is VERY NEAR TO DEATH

Rome, July notwithstanding the sem
sational dispatches published in London the
day has passed without any attack of faint
ing. although the Pope has grown steadily
weaker. and is now greatly Frustrated. The
pulse is less frequent. but little more reg

condition improved.
While the Pope lies on his deathbed. the
finger of death seems also to have touched
one of his most intimate friends. Mgr
Nolponi. whom he the other day appointed
secretary of the Consistorial Congregation
Mgr. Eolponi was stricken with syncope to-
day. He fell to the floor. but was carried
to his apartment. and Doctor Lapponi was
hurriedly summoned from the Pope's bed

The official bulletin of the Pope's condi-

ENJOYS ABSOLUTE HARMONY
OF PHYSICAL, MORAL AND
INTELLECTUAL QUALITIES

Rome. July Scooter Mazzoni. speaking
about the Pope this afternoon. remarked
1T has always been said that Pope Leo
has shown powers of extraordinary resist
ance TO diseases of the constitution.
He enjoys the absolute harmony of all
his organs and of his physical. moral and
intellectual qualities. which Is the real
cause of his great resistance to illness. Not
withstanding his advanced age and his
present sickness. the Pope has a constitu-
ton capable of enabling him to recover.
THE difficulties and delicacy of the mo-
ment are created by the personality of the
Pope.
"He is a very sensitive man and a per-
son to whom simple injection of caffeine
causes great suffering for about three
hours Three years ago when I operated on
him for a cyst it was said he did not suf-
fer. but In reality he did suffer intensely.
THE liquid taken yesterday from the
pleura may gather again and another oper-
alton may be necessary, but 1 hope not.
Some of the liquid may remain. and ofen
the little which Is left is spontaneously alb
sorbed which may be the case with the
Pontiff.''
