ITHACA, N. Y, March 2.--One death occurred from typhoid fever yesterday, that of Harry Moron. a resident of Ith- aca. The general conditions of the cpl demic continue to improve. Chairman U. Clarke of the local board of health has announced in justification of the board that 1t is carrying out all the di- rections of state health commissioner Lewis made by that officer when he was in Ithaca last week, with the ex- ception that no action has been taken in the case of property along the water sheds from which filth might come. A municipal election Is being held today, and the indications are that the vote will be overwhelmingly in favor of municipal ownership. There is a divi- sion of opinion among the citizens as to whether pure water shall be secured by filtration of the present supply or by the establishment of new system.

POPE cREETs CARDINALS.
Contrary to Advice of Physicians His
 Holiness Receives.

v
 Holiness Receives.
 ROME, March 2.--Dr Lapponi, the pope's physician, made strong effort to induce his holiness to renounce his reception of the cardinals. He remon- strated with him, saying, "Your holi- ness, my duty is to point out that your health would greatly benefit by your resting today" The pope replied My dear doctor, before your valuable ad- vice comes my duty, which shall per form until the end.'
 The audience was held in the pope's private library, and Leo XIII. spoke continuously for half an hour with the forty-two cardinals present. No ad- dress was delivered, and the most i'm portant words were when the pontiff referred with emphasis to his advanced age and approaching end. He was led to speak thereof in reminding the car linals that the room in which he was receiving them was the same in which Plus TX. held his last consistory he (Leo xIII) being present, but in bed. The cardinals greeted this reference to the possible approach of death with chorus of noes and with exclamations of "We have all come to wish you a long life"
 By this time the excitement of the re- ception had improved Pope Leo's ap- pearance. When he entered the libra ry, his form was bowed and trembling, but he now seemed to have acquired strength and animation. He showed the cardinals magnificent antique clock which had just been presented to him by the Count of Caserta, the head of the Naples branch of the Bourbon family. Before retiring he presented to each cardinal richly produced pam phlet, reviewing the chief events in his pontiflcate including Latin poem of his own composition and five of his most important encyclicals. His holi- ness said, T will order that the few cardinals absent, like Cardinal Gib- bons, RhrU also have it."
