DEATH COMES At LAST
End of Pope Leo's Remarkable
Struggle for Life.
Aged Pontir Passes Away Surrounded
by Relatives and %rd1n
Oreslia Temporary Head
of the Church.

Rome, July 21.-Pope Leo XIII. is
dead, The last flicker of life expired at
four minutes past four o'clock Monday
afternoon, and the pontiff now lies at
rest.
Pope Leo's final moments were
marked by that same serenity n de-
votion, and when he was conscious
that calm intelligence which is asso-
ciated with his Is years pontitlcate.
The Temporary Pope.
Meantime, events of momentous I'M
p%ortance to Catholic Christendom were
occurring. The death of Pope Leo
meant the passing of the supreme pow
er into the hands of the sacred college
of cardinals as it's temporary custodian
during the interregnum. The perfect
administrative machinery of the church
provided against the slightest inter
ruption of the governing authority. AS
the senior member of the sacred COL
lege, Cardinal Oreglia, to whom the
pope, just before his death, solemnly
confided the interests of the church,
has now become the exponent OF the
cardinals until Pope Leo's successor
has been elected.

neglected in such discussions. and it is
this: that most of the alleged nervous
strain Of the teaching business is
caused by things extraneous to the
business. The teachers time is taken
up with the problems Of discipline in
cident to the management of fifty
children in a room: with the polite
methods needed to get on with the
school board and the parents; with
the endeavor to do justice to the null
hilarious subjects which she is ex-
peeted to teach; with the effort 10
make a machine out of roomful of
uneasy, wriggling, ill-reared children.
and with the teaching of the things
which are the essential foundations Of
the child's education. Some of the
strain of teaching might be removed
by simplifying the school system and
reducing the size of classes. The
teachers might not need as high train
ing as under the present system, but
the children would probably be better
trained than they are now.

Origin of "Uncle Sam"

how did the United States Government come
to be called Uncle sami'' II. s.A.
This title dates back to the war IF
1872. when Ebert Anderson, of New
York, engaged largely in the business OF
furnishing supplies for the army and
navy He purchased a large consign-
ment OF pork in Troy, n Y. and sent
one Of his employees there to weigh il in.
mark the barrels and ship 1t to New
York The employe, who was something
Of wag, was named Samuel Wilson. and
was Familiarity known as "UhcIe Sam. -
After inspecting the pork at Troy he
marked the barrels e A. L. s" The
pork was sent 20 New York. and the in
seription created considerable comment
about the wharf when it arrived. An
derson was unable to explain why it was
marked as it was. and appealed to Will
son The latter said the two final let
ters stood for Uncle SAM the III
spector. The incident got into print.
and seemed TO catch the popular fancy.
and has since been applied to the United
States. The characteristic dress and
features of Uncle Sam" were the work
OF cartoonists at later day.

The Districts Debt.

! read IN The Times that, according to the re-

decreased its debt by something like two
millions OF dollars in the past fiscal year.
lew days previously The Times said the Dis
trlet had been put into debt two millions Of
dollars IN two years. Which was right The
lines or Treasurer RObertsg TAXPAYER
Both were right. Treasurer Roberts
report dealt with the funded debt of the
District. which has hung over the mu-
nieirality since the troubled days of tho
shepherd regime. The debt was reduced.
as Treasurer Roberts said. The debt to
which The Times had reference is that
Of recent years. since 1900, caused by the
advances for public Improvement from
the United States Treasury. That has
increased enormously within three years.
II the facts must be told, part of It
was incurred in paying of the maturing

81 city dialects. The peculiar forms
Of dialect in use in rural districts have
long been the subjects of study. From
the time when London playwrights
wrote what we now call society
dramas" and eontrasted the yokei
with the smart folk of Piccadilly, To
the present age of ''hayseed' jokes in
comic weeklies. the farmer has been
the butt of the metropolitan, and the
latter has mimicked the drawl, the ac-
cent, the idioms of the country visitor,
III blissful Inconsistencies that he
himself spoke a dialect as queer and
not much more civilized.
Somebody ought TO study eoekney
dialect and the reasons therefor. Why
should the New York gamin Glide the
''r' in that peculiar fashion which
makes a certain shibboleth sentence
sound in this way: "Giyls, giyls,
come out on the euybstone and see the
biyds fly oveh the chuych2" Why
should The London wharf-rat talk Of
"lydies" and "gytes" and the like ?
The bases Of these dialects are per
haps lost in The msts Of unreeorded
centuries, but inasmuch as they are
Constantly in the making, some Of
their peculiarities might be accounted
for by careful study.
