THE POPE FALLS
IN PAINTING FIT
Overcome by the Excessive Heat
While Saying Mass.
GREAT ALARM FOR PONTIFF
Owing to the Mental strain Imposed
by Duties of His Omce Plus X. Has
Been In Nervous state md
Is Unable to Sleep.

Rome, Aug. 11.-Pope Plus Y. had q
fainting fit this morning while cele-
brating mass. but soon revived.
The pope has been over-exerting
himself to such an extent that his nat
urally-strong constitution was unable
to bear the strain put on by the cor
onation ceremonies.
Has Been Unable to Sleep.
Such has been the effect of his nerves
that he has been unable to sleep for
whole nights, while numerous recep-
tions yesterday made matters worse
Last night he was very much agi-
tated, still he insisted on admitting this
morning to hear his mass ell Venetians
who had journeyed to Rome purposely
to attend the coronation. They num-
bered about three hundred when the
mass began in the Paulian chapel, and
the air was vitiated with the tempera-
ture above ninety degrees
Quick Action Save. Pope.
The pope was seen to grow paler and
paler, finally throwing out his hands
as though seeking support. He would
have fallen had not Mgr. Bressan, his
private chaplain. been quick to catch
him.
1t is impossible to describe the con-
fusion and alarm among the worship
ers while the pope lay motionless and
unconscious. with his eyes closed
His Old Physician Present.
Fortunately. among the venetians
present was DIR. Davenezia, who for nine
years has been the popes attending
physician at Venice. but had been
called only once during that time to
treat sore throat
DR.. Davenezia gave the pontiff i'm
mediate assistance while the messen-
gers telephoned DR.. Lapponi. The lat
ter rushed to the vatican, but did not
arrive until after the pope had been re-
stored to consciousness and taken to
his own apartment

dron, some three weeks ago. went
INTO Reagans place ana bought 25
cents worth of goods He asked for
change for $40 DILL Reagan told
him he could not change it, and Ma.
dron then said he could not pay the
70 cents. Reagan then charged it to
Madron's account. few DAYS later
Madron was in the store, and Reagan
reminded him of the 70 cents and
Madron denied the account and call
ed Reagan liar, saying he did not
owe him, but went out and came back
presently and paid the 25 cents. Ma
dron, from that time on, seemed to
nave great dislike and hatred to-
ward Reagan and manifested it IN
numerous ways. The day of the kill
ing Reagan took lemonade stand
to the picnic, across the mountains
from Danville. Madron was at the
picnic and got very drunk and was
taken off the picnic grounds at one
time. He remarked in the presence
OF three different ladies' that if he
caught that boy away from the stand
he intended to fix him IL made such
an impression Oh tiem mat they went
to Reagan and told him what Madron
had said. In the afternoon, late,
Madron came to the stand where Rea-
gan was, He asked Reagan if he
wanted to hear some music Rea-
gan replied no, he didn't care to hear
him play. Madron cursed him, and,
it is said. threw his hand to his hip.
Reagan then picked up a pistol that
was lying under a table in the stand
and fired at Madron.

Huddleston Acquitted

j. A. HuddleSton was acquitted in
Perry circuit court of the charge O.
numbering Sam Childers. Huddles-
ton, for about twelve years, lived IN
Casa, Perry county, under the name
of j. A. Alexander. In March, 1902,
he was arrested at his home by a
federal officer as a fug.dve from JUS
uce, being wanted at Paris, Texas,
where it was alleged that in 1900 he
was convicted of counterfeiting, but
escaped before sentence could be
passed upon him. During his resi-
dence at Casa he had been an exem-
plary citizen and a good business
man, and this had great weight with
the federal Judge, who discharged
him from custody. He then returned
to Perry county to continue his res
idence among the people with whom
he had made his home for a dozen
years. Nothing out OF the ordinary
occurred until April "a, 1902, when
the news flashed over Perry county
that Sam Childers, postmaster at
Jennings Falls, that county, had been
murdered while on his way to AL
phin to testify in a justices court.
The dead body was found in the road
by a mail carrier 1t was alleged
that Childers was the person who
gave the information as to the
whereabouts of huddlesion and
caused his return to Texas. On this
account suspicion pointeu to Huddles-
ton and he was arrested.

Mr.. Morse will not play this season.
With the Honolulu team things are
also moving along under the able d.
rection of Jess Woods. Kauhane is
playing center and such men as the

MORE NEEDED FROM SEcRB-
TARY SHAW.

Secretary Shaw's interview on ma
umn, is an interesting reflection of the
Administration policy and doubtless
throws a side.light on the action Of the
Secretary in accepting Hawaiian Ter.
ritorial bonds as national bank secur.
ity. The growth of the country's do
nestle business has been so rapid the
present supply of Government bonds is
not sufficient to supply the demands
OF national banking institutions at a
figure that makes business profitable.
II is the Governments business TO
see that banking institutions shall
provide proper security for the protec.
ton of Government and private depos.
its. 1t Is also recognized that these
banks should not be forced to operate
under conditions that will make eXpan'
sion Improbable. This, however, is
what the increased demand for Gov
eminent bonds is bringing about and
the best endeavors of the Administra,
ton are being ccntcred on a solution
that will secure a greater elasticity OF
security without weakening its sta.
bility.
To fulfill this demand financial leg.
islation is now planned that will en-.
able national banks to use State, Ter.
ritorial and Municipal bonds as secur.
ity. Many propose to go further and
include bonds of wealthy corporations
in this list. The policy of the Admin.
istration has not been more exactly
defined than by a general endeavor to
create conditions that will allow the
banks to more promptly handle the
peoples business.
Secretary Shaw's acceptance of Ha'
wallis first Territorial bond issue as
security for national bank bank.note
circulation seems to be along the line
of the Administration tendency to-
ward a more liberal national bank pol
icy. Hawaii may consider itself par
ticularly fortunate in having come
into the field at an opportune moment
In its relation to the general business
conditions of the Territory. however
the Secretary's action Is but half a
loaf, il 1t creates a bond quickly snap

business situation in way that will
enable the national depositary in Ha-

HAwAI's TRAINED VOLCANO.

Fear of volcanoes is mainland fad
just at the present time and is likely
to continue till the people gradually
let loose of the exaggerated ideas i'm
planted in their minds by the disaster
of a century at Martinique. Thus our
greatest show on earth has in the
minds of some become a creature that
should be handled with such extreme
care that the announcement of an old
fa shiOned tourist drawing volcanic out
break should be told in whispers.
On this basis every circus that car
ries lion should cut out the lion be-
cause the lion of another circus got
out of its cage and slaughtered sight
seers and keepers.
The Bulletin does not contend that
the Impressions created by Martinique
should not be taken into account, but
there is no good reason why we should
fail to whOOp il up when our volcanic
forces have granted one of the few
magnificent exhibitions allotted to each
generation. Tourists who would miss
the opportunity of seeing volcanic
eruption on Mauna LOa because they
recall stories of Martinique would very
likely decide to stay at home because
trains run off the track ana steamships
sometimes go to the bottom with all
on board.
