At Reading, Pa, William Damp
man, aged II, has been suffering with
hiccoughs since June II. Dampman
was attacked by catarrh of the stom-
ach, which produced the hiccoughs.
The seizures lasted from three days to
a week, with a few hours intervening.
He hiccoughed day and night, and In
the course of few weeks lost fifty
pounds. His last attack lasted nine
ty-si1 hours, and death was momen-
tarily looked for. He was unable to
partake Of any nourishment. The at
tending physicians stopped the hic-
coughs, and he is now being fed on
peptonized milk. Slight hopes are
entertained for his recovery.

The Pope is Dead.

Pope Leo XIII died Monday after
noon about 4 o'clock in Rome. He
was taken seriously i'll on July 4th,
and amazed his physicians by the
wonderful vitality that kept him alive
long after all hope of his recovery was
abandoned. His mind kept bright
and clear and he maintained an inter-
est in passing events until the day be-
fore he died, when he passed into
state of coma. Monday, when it was
seen that death was at last a matter
of only short time, the high officials
and dignitaries Of the church gathered
around the Pope's bedside and recited
the final prayers, keeping this up un-
til the heart ceased beating. After
the Pope had ceased to breathe, the
doctors waited some minutes. Then
they applied the usual death tests.
Finding that his holiness had passed
away, they notified Cardinal Ram
polla, who is filling the capacity Of
perfect of the palace, that the pontif
was dead. He, in turn, informed
Cardinal Camerlengo of the Holy See.
Oreglia was conducted to the papal
apartment by the head chamberlain,
the apostolic notary, and the physi-
clans. On arriving at the bed cham
Der Cardinal Oreglia knocked three
times on the door, and, receiving no
response, he entered and approached
the corpse. Taking small silver
mallet, he lightly struck the Popes
forehead thrice, and thrice called him
by name. There being no answer,
the cardinal removed from the Popes
finger, the "anulo piscatorio," or fish
erman's ring" the sign of papal au.
thority, and then formally declared
Pope Leo XIII dead. From the mo-
ment he removed the ring, Cardinal
Oreglia became the executive officer
of the Holy See and the depositary of
its temporal power.
Tuesday the dead Popes body was
opened and embalmed, the intestines
being placed in an urn for immediate
burial. Then the deceased pontift,
dressed in caqsock and surplice was
carried to the Consistory Hall, to be
visited by the cardinals, ambassadors
and the members of the papal court.
At the end of this ceremony, he was
dressed in full pontifcal robes, re-
moved to the Sistine Chapel, and
placed on a bier, surrounded with
lighted candles, and left to the care
and prayers of the canonical poten-
tiaries.
Later the clergy of st. Peters Ca
thedral and the cardinals will escort
the body to the Vatican basllics, the
papal choir singing psalms, and the
Noble Guard following with revere ed
arms. The remains will be placed in
the Chapel of the Sacrament in such a
manner that the feet will project be-
yond the threshold to permit devout
mourners to kiss them without enter
ing the church. Until the ninth day
after his death the Pope will not be
inferred. The burial takes place on
that day in the morning.

Lh.P Rebae who died at Wilkes

John B. Behee, who died at WILKES,
barre, Pa, few days ago, only had
one hair on his head. When young
All his hair fell out. His case was a
puzzle for the physicians, who could
not understand why there was not at
least partial growth of new hair to
be found on the whole body, till about
three years ago one single hair did SP-
pear on Behee's pate, and he felt very
proud oft. a friend one day robbed
him of the single hair and it was
thought be would die of grief. In the
absence of hair the scalp became very
hard and Behee could go out on the
coolest days and not catch cold.

to observe that the Private Stamp over

West Virginia items.

William Robinson, postmaster at
Kanawha, this State, is a Seventh
Day Adventist and refuses to open
the postofice on Saturdays. He re-
fuses to resign and the Postofice De-
partment is looking for someone who
will keep the Office open on the usual
days. The Adventists are strong in
Kanawha.
Despite the fact that the position
pays &c. 200 year, there are no ap.
plicants for the deanship of the law
school oft the West Virginia University,
made vacant by the recent defh of
Judge Okey johnson. DR.. w. S.
Fletcher resigned his professorship in
the agricultural department Of the
University and will become a member
of the faculty Of Cornell University.
A large number of young men Of
Wyoming county, West Virginia, have
organized a Law aud Order League,
and their constitution states its pri-
mary object to be to "kill the killers.
This movement is due to the many
terrible crimes committed in one Sec
ton of that county within the past
year. The leaguers propose to break
up the practice Of carrying revolvers
and they declare that, owing to the
lax administration of the laws, it is
necessary that the law-abiding citizens
who have the best interests of the
community at heart should become
detectives and prosecutors. The lead
ers, who are well-to-do citizens, ex-
press an absolute determination to
bring about better social condition
than exists there at present.
A two-days conference Of educators
was held in Morgantown laet week.
This conference was arranged some
months ago by President Purinton, of
the West Virginia University, and the
purpose of it is to bring the subsidiary
schools OF the State into more harmo-
NOUS relations with the university.
Prof. John c. Shaw, principal of the
Glenville Normal School, read an in
teresting paper on The Relation Of
the Normal Schools to the University
in Professional Work" This paper
was discussed by President Purinton,
Prof. Cole and Prot. Reeder. Prof.
W. L. MCGOWAN, principal Of the West
Liberty Normal School, read paper
on the relation of the University and
normal schools in preparatory, In
which he advocated the establishing
of a curriculum in preparatory work,
which could be identical with the pre-
paratory work required by the Uni
vereity. This proposition met with
much favor in the discussions which
followed, while other speakers, nota-
bly, Prof. Cole, of MartiDsburg, thought
the normal schools and high schools Of
the State would never thrive until the
preparatory department of the Uni
versity was entirely abolished. Pres
ident Purinton favored this position
as theory, but explained that the
standard of the high schools of the
State would have to be considerably
raised before it would be practical to
abolish the University preparatory de-
partment.

Light-haired persons average from
100000 to 5000 hairs; dark-haired
persons about 100000 and red-haired
persons only 10000. This is, no doubt,
only general approximation, since
not all light hair is fine and not all
red hair coarse, and there are many
persons with much thinner hair than
others, to say nothing of the large and
and honorable class of baldheads.
