SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
It is Greatly Reduced by the Wealth
er Now.
Rooms Are Today Comfortably Heated
and Teachers Are Back.

The school attendance in the pri-
mary grades especially has fallen off
greatly and thore are few in rttend-
ance this morning IN this department.
The small school children are usual
ly kept at home such weather as this
and the attendance consequently suff-
ers greatly. Superintendent Hatfield
stated this morning that all teachers
are back at their places today and that
sll rooms are comfortably heated.
Yesterday four rooms in the Longfel.
low building, on Fifth and Court
streets, were cold and the pupils had
to be dismissed and the heat from
these rooms turned into other rooms.
This morning all rooms are comforts-
bic and little trouble is experienced
from this source.

The agonizing itching and burning

head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-

stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that

skin cures, blood purifiers and humour

that his wife had gone away. He waited
outside for about an hour and half
and when she did not return he finally
pried open the window and entered. His

began search. After looking the house
al over he finally went to the kitchen
chamber, which is reached by a ladder,
there being no stairs. There, hanging
side by side from the rafters, were the
bodies of his wife and two children. APP

1t was with difficulty that he YVES
brought to understand that the flood of
inquiries that poured into the Vatican
were indications only of the deep concern
felt by all the world in his welfare.
On Thursday last the rumors of the
popes illness were renewed, but
the pontiff went for his usual drive
in the Vatican gardens. After his re-
turn from the drive, he himself contrary
to custom, ordered the fact to be pub
lished in the official column of the Osser-
vatore Romano, adding: Tell the editor
to spread the news through the Italian
and foreign press, so that the whole
world will thank God that we are well
to-day"
The last illness of the Pope began as
far back as last December, when at a
reception accorded the cardinals for the
purpose of receiving their new years
greetings the venerable head of the great
Roman Catholic Church suddenly was
stricken i'll. For time he lost the pow
er of speech, and it was found necessary
to dispense the audience.
From that time the world has anx-
ieusly heard the repeated rumors that
the end of the remarkable life of Pope
Leo was approaching, yet hardly had the
cables told the distressing news when the
Pope, with a rare show of vitality, would
begin to recover. DIR. Lapponi, the
Pope's physician, abandoned all other
plans-namely, the writing of his famous
standard books on psychology-and has
devoted himself exclusively to the high
Office of caring for the Pope's health.
In March last there was a remarkable
scene when the Pope, at an audience
given to the cardinals, spoke calmly and
smilingly of the fact that his demise
could not be far off. To a man the car
dinals called to him:
mo. no; you must not say so. God
will grant you to US for many years to
come. You cannot be spared
Until the middle of June the reports
that came out of the Vatican were of
highly encouraging nature, but June IA
the Pope was forced TO submit to an OPP
Grafton for the removal of tumor which
had grown under his arm. Prof. MAJ
zoni. the Pope's special surgeon, however,
performed the operation with rare deli
cacy. subjecting Leo TO little pain. The
pope refused to take any anesthetic.
With calm eyes he watched the operation
interestedly. The reports that had got
afioat TO the effect that he was dying
annoyed the Pope much at this time. To
utterly refute these rumors Leo again re-
fused to obey his physicians, who begged
him to give up his daily audiences. He
reiterated that it was bis duty 10 go
through with the matter at all costs.
Disquieting reports came from the
Vatican during the last week in June,
which told of fainting spells that had
visited the Pope with frequency, and DIR.
Lapponi made a public statement TO the
effect that if the Pope would only con-
sen. TO case his activity and rest as long
as his advanced years made imperative
there would be a long time before him,
but this Leo, as before, refused to. He
declared he wonid go on with his work,

mint in Philadelphia was a record-break-
er in the number of coins, medals and

duction was accomplished without any
material increase in expenses. Accord
ing to the report made by Superintendent
Lands to the Treasury Department at
Washington, the coinage was 1858,
766 pieces greater than the previous
year, an increase in medals of 1882
