Mother Jones has only a remnant left
Of her army of protest composed OF

The army has dwindled down to 70.
mostly girls and elderly men.
They revOlted last night and refus-

Of mosquitoes. Mother Jones finally
secured a hall. She paid her respects
today to the clergymen Of the various

passed saying: Whenever | have

referred me to the politicians. God

CHALLENGER HAS NEW SAIL.

Highlands. July IA new main
sail was sent UP on Shamrock Ill this
morning. 1t is much larger than the
old one and a better fit At 1890 the
two ShamrOcks started out to sea

start. At 11:40 the challenger was
40 seconds behind. Four minutes al

was maintained. The weather cOndi-

ems precinct in the interest Of J. T..
Scott, who was defeated as the un-
official vote stands by 4 votes. 1t is
alleged that several voters who were
challenged and later swore in their
votes will be looked UP as to their
legal residence in the city and right
to vote, which might materially
change the result and seat Mr.. Scott.
The contest proceedings will be en-
tirely friendly and will only be brought
in the interest of fair play. Mr.. De
ment cares nothing for the office of
mayor as far as the honor is concern
ed. but stated this morning that all
he wanted was a fair and impartial
count.
Election Was Quiet.
After the fierce campaign that was
waged during the the past three weeks
it was freely predicted that election
day would see something doing, but
strange as it might appear to some
people. the day passed off exceeding
ly quiet. Opposing factions were out
in force working tooth and toe nail
all day, but as far as there being any
disagreeable features, there were
single arrest and few drunken men
were to be seen. Large crowds gath
cred at Caswell's cigar store and at
WatsOn's to receive returns but these
were orderly and we'll behaved. Sup
pOrterS of defeated candidates took
good naturedly the banterings show
cred upon them and after it was seen
how the result stood, the crowds
melted away by midnight.
Supporters Of Mr.. Brown are jubil-
ant over his victory and. it is said a
few of them won anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000 KEGS money on the contest
The gamblers. it is said, thought they
had a sure thing and wagered theil
money freely. 1t is estimated that al
least $1,000 changed hands on the re
suit Of the election. It is said that
some of them lost much of the stake
made during the last year under the
wide-Open policy.

'IAPPONI,
"MAZZONI."
This morning after a bulletin had
been issued by the doctors it was
stated at the vatican that his holiness
will probably live another day. The
wonderful efficiency Of his heart ac-
,iOn while constantly weakening, does
not threaten immediate exhaustion.
The vatican attendants. however, have
now entirely relinquished hope and
believe it is a matter of hours only.
The pope continued practically IN the
same condition all morning. At one
time he spoke a few words scarcely
audible His mind seems clearer, his
eyes indicating by their expression
that he understands what is passing
in the room. Dr.. Lapponi this morn
ing invariably answered inquiries by
saying. The pope's condition is very
alarming" The long siege of waiting
has worn out the watchers and in
stead of the previous crowds only a
dozen people We're in front Of the
vatican today.
This forenoon when aroused the
pope said:
My time is running short. Before
it is too late | wish to see Rampolla.' y
The private conference lasted Is
minutes. Then the pope said;
Il now wish the Franciscan bene-
diction.'
Cardinal Tuto fulfilled his wish.
The pope succeeded in reciting the
confteOr. DR.. Lapponi was called
from the vatican at /: 80 to the bed
side of his sick daughter. The pope
dropped into a drOWsy state. He ut
tered disconnected words while
awake. His lower extremities are
swelling. Oxygen is kept in readi-
ness. Later this afternoon he became
more deliriOus and was not able to
recognize his attendants.
This afternoon completes the fifth
day since his eXcretiOns practically
ceased and though he is taking but a
minimum amount of nOurishment the
poison in his system has reached a
dangerous quality.
