The Stock Market Situation.

The decline in stocks, which began
six months ago and has continued un
til even the standard securities have
dropped 80 to 80 points in value. de
veloped Wednesday into a furry OF
selling with heavy fall in valuations
and symptoms of a panic which alarm

tory explanation of the trouble can be
given. One theory is that MANY new
securities are still "undigested" and
that large corporations are being com
PEELED to pay 6 per cent. or more fol
loans.
The air in New York is full of rrl
mors. One is that every big man in
the financial district has been badly
hit, or has been a heavy seller for
short account.
First. it was President Schwab. of
the steel trust. who. the gossips said
had been obliged to sell several hun
dred thousand shares of standard
stocks owned by him, in order to pro
tect his shipbuildng and other com
mitments; then, James J. Hill. who
has lately been talking pessimistically
was said to have parted with his re-
puted extensive line of investments

THE PoPE's LIFE HISTORY.

Pope Leo XIII. was born at Carpineto
In the diocese of Avagni. in the state of
the church, March 2, 1910. He was the
son OF Count Ludvico Pecci and Anna
Frosperi and was christened Vincenzo
Gleacchine. He used the first name I'D to
the termination of his studies when he
began to use the second name.
Al the age of eight Vincenzo began to
attend the Jesuit college at Viterbo and
remained there until fifteen. when. on
MS mothers death, he was sent to Rome
IN the care of an uncle. In November
1874, he enterd the school of the Collegio
Romano, then restored to the Jesuits
lie listened TO many distinguished in
structors and early distinguished him
SELF Tor his studousness and talent
AT the age of twenty-one he obtained
the laurel in philanthropy During his
student life in Rome young Pecci devoted
himself to his work and took no part in
entertainments or amusements of any
sort. In the College of Noble Ecclesias-
tlcs where he is next found he eclipsed
all MS companions in study. Becoming
a doctor OF law, he was made by Pope
Gregory XVI domestic prelate and
pferendary of the segnatura in March
1881. In this year he received holy or
ders from the Pious Cardinal Odes-
chalohi, who later conferred the priest
mood upon him. Gregory XVI bestowed
H'''' '''N WV VI APOSTOLIC
and appointed him apostolic delegate at
Benevent, Peruggia and Spolet In these
posts he ruled with firmness and pru-
dence.
In 1913 the future Pope was promoted
10 be Nuncio to Belgium and shortly
after he was made Archbishop of Da-
meta. In 1916 he was nominated by
Bishop of Perugia and in 1858 he was
created a cardinal by Pope Plus TX. He
was member of several congregations
OF cardinals, among them those of the
council of rites and of bishops and reg
ulars. In September 1877, he was re-
elected to fill the important office of Car
dinal Camerlengo of the Roman church
and in that office after the death of Plus
February z, 1878. he acted as head of the
church in temporal matters, made ar
rangements for the obsequies of the pom
tin and superintended the preparations Of
the conclave.
SiNty-two cardinals attended the con-
claVe, which closed Monday, February
iS, 1873, and the Cardinal Camerternago
Pecci, was made Pope by acclamatio

the gallery of st. Peters, when il was
announced that His Holiness assumed the
name of Leo XIII. He was crowned

Booker Washington continues to
show that he is a wonderful man
wonderful in his grasp of the problems
of the negro question and in his plans
for their solution, and wonderful in the
self-poise which enables him to speak
forcefully at all times, yet never to say
words which can be picked up by those
who differ with him in such a way as
to be used to injure the cause which
he espouses. He spoke almost like one
inspired at the recent Afro o-American
convention in Louisville, urging equal
justice for the white and black men,
and pointing ont the duty of the race
and the nation in the face of the pres
ent trials.

formed conspicuous service at Santi-

mensurate reward when he was made
a brigadier general. His advancement
from a physician with the rank of
captain less than six years ago to his
present position has been the most
rapid which the United States army
has known in recent years, He is a
young man and will not retire under

The coal production has been the
greatest in the history of the country
IN the past few months, but the prices

the price is being raised regularly 10

The Pope has shown a vitality in
his sickness which has amazed the
physicians. He has faced death with
the serenity of "one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams" II is
strange to think that this man of 90
was physically a weakling at 20 and
expected to die at an early age of con-
sumption, but that he lived to enter at
6S upon his great life work at a time
when most mems powers are tagging
or they are more or less in dotage.
The Greenfield Gazette in reviewing
his full-rounded career well saws:
Pope Leo will be remembered for the
impression of saintliness which he has
given every person who ever saw him.
and will be a great historic figure on
account of the remarkable success
with which he has grappled witt. the
political and social questions of tEe
time. He has overridden the reaction
airy element of his church. and his Wig
orous thought on the problems of the
day has commanded worldwide re-.
spect for his utterances. 1t is largely
due to his influence that the Roman
church is in closer touch with actual
life than it was before his day. and
that the spirit of reactionary clerical
ism is less potent"

The enormous shrinkage of stocks
has meant the fading away of paper
fortunes which people held a year
ago. People all over the country hold
stocks for which they paid 30 to 80
points higher than the prevailing quo
tations. 4 curtailment of expenses is
noticeable in many directions. espe
cially in an expenditure for luxuries
and vacations. An illustration is seen
in private yachts. for which the de.
mand was in excess of the supply last
year. This year yachts are drug on

sold at a sacrifice while others are be,

Principal Whitaker, in presenting a
report OF his seventh years work.
speaks OF the gratifying increase in
the spirit of pride in the school and
loyalty to its interests found among
all the pupils. Evidence of this spirit
is found in the better average work
done and in increasing regularity of
attendance. as well as in the general
spirit or helpfulness and cooperation
