MEDICAL VIEW OF THE POPE

Early Life as Archbishop of Perugia
 Laid Sturdy Foundation.
 The Pope seems destined to do credit to Italian medicine, from Celsius to Lapponi. True to the prescriptions laid down by the former in his famous first chapter, for the first sixty-eight years of his life as the Roman Hippocrates says, every "sanus homo qui ct bene valet ct suae spontis est" ought to live partly in the country, partly in the town, and, oftener than not, in the open air. He ought to yacht or hunt" or allow himself the recreation of rod or gun. In this latter form of outdoor evercise the Pope, when archbishop of Perugia, was exceptionally proficient, and after an enjoyable day on the Um- brian hillsides he woud return with a heavy bag of red-legged cartridges for distribution among the hospitals of his diocese-a feat he thereafter celebrated in Carulian hendecasyllabies for the amusement of the dean and chapter.
 From this life of the student, alterna- ting with that of the sportsman, he passed, just twenty-five years ago, to the Vatican there as supreme pontiff, to play the part of "prisoner" (with doors locked on the irside) and to assume the reins of an empire on which, if the sun never sets, 8 cloud ever hangs. It is at this stage that his body physician found his responsibilities really begin. True, his august charge inherited fthe consti- tuition and the wiry physique of a long line of mountaineers strengthened by plain living, high thinking and outdoor recreation, systematic, without mono- tony. But confinement even to "a palace and garden" on the least healthly of the hills of Rome in- volved sudden change of habits, nay, a revolution in the modus vivendi years of well-ordered life to a severe test.
 However, as Dr. Lapponi himself is the first to admit, his holiness is an exemplary patient observing with promptitude and in entire good faith the prescriptions from time to time submitted to him, and reinforcing the regimen with that best of all auxilia- ries to the professional man, the will lU tlNG, IL IS tliuS LlleAl IC lCcttS of endurance, mental and physical, that would impose a formidable strain on men twenty or even twenty-five years his junior, and that the ordeal of his pontifical jubilee on March 4 left him fatigued doubtless, but much less so than hundreds upon hundreds of the sixty thousand spectators who from all parts of the world thronged St. Peters for the ceremony. Not that this mar velous vitality or resisting power ever lulls to sleep the vigilance of his body physician. On the contrary, Dr. Lap- poni, well aware how often In practice the unexpected happens, Is never more alert than when all the omens seem to be most favorable, and, redoubles his precautions down to the minutest de- tails, not only of diet and rest in the recumbent posture, but even of cloth- ing and temperature and the transi- ton from one suite of apartments to another.-London Lancet.

BEN HuR MUSIC
Written by Professor Kelley of Yale
 Dorscht Lodge Meeting.

Written by Professor Kelley, of Yale Dorscht Lodge Meeting.
 Dorscht lodge on Sunday evening ini- tiated Henry Menges and Harry But ton as members, and among those pres- ent was L. Hausknecht, of Dorscht lodge No. 1.-The initiation ceremonies of the local lodge are decidedly interest ing and quite different from those of the New York organization, and Herr Hausknecht was greatly interested: and will make report of what he saw when he returns. Herr Hausknecht was called here by Frank Fichtl to aug ment the cello strength of the Hy- perion orchestra during the Ben Hur engagement. Several others were also called from New York
 It is. not generally known that the difficult but tuneful new music of this play was written by New Haven man. The composer is Professor Edgar c. Kelley, of Yale, who is now in Ber- lin. Recently Professor Kelley wrote from Europe to the musical director of Ben Hur asking him when he came to New Haven to see MT. Fichtl and de- liver personal request that Mir. Fichtl pay especial attention to the rendition of the music. This, of course, was done. as it is to all music given here under the Dorscht lodge director and members. Two rehearsals were held Sunday and they were highly commend ed by the company's musical director.

BEN HUR.
Magnihcently Presented at the Hy-
 perion Last Night.

Magnifcently Presented at the Fly
 perion Last Night.
 On scale of splendor and magnifi- cence greater and more elaborate than ever before attempted on any stage in this city was presented for the first time fin this city the stupendous production, Ben Hur." at the Hyperion last night. All encomiums of press. public and pull pit pronounced upon it during its great run in New York city have not been in the least overdrawn or exaggerated, and the large audience which filled the Hyperion last night sat in wonder and admiration at the enormity of the pro- duction and the perfect and harmonious workings of all the essentia details. If New Haveners have ever been favored with genuine metropolitan produc- tion, with all of the accompauiments of the original. they have it in this pre- sentation of Ben Hur."
 As is well known, it Is another of the enormous scenic and spectacular sue cesses of Messrs Klaw and Erlanger, and in this they have excelled all pre- vious efforts. and by lavish expendi- ture of money have succeeded in plac- ing before the public a production of the greatest merit. The famous novel of General Lew Wallace has been used as the basis of the dramatization, and to all familiar with the book it is only necessary to say that it has suffered none by the dramatization, and that the deeper and more salient features have been made prominent and foremost The scenic embellishments are extra ordinarily beautiful. faithfully portray ing the places described and depicting the characters and lives of the people of those stirring days when Rome was at the height of her glory and ruled the then known world.
 The prelude is curtain symbolic of Rome and Jerusalem, wherein the three wise men behold the Star of Bethle- hem' in the east. It first appears as small twinklng star and gradually in- creases In proportion until it covers U e entire horizon and the wise men fall down in reverence and worship. Dur ing this tableau the auditorium is dark ened and no one can be seated. In con- sequence of this 1t is desired that all patrons be in their seats punctually at and o'clock.
 The other scenes following in the six acts of the piece trace the life of Ben Hur from the time of his being taken captive by the Romans, torn from his mother and sister and cast into Ro- man galley until he has met his direst and most bitter enemy, Messala, in the stirring chariot race; his escape from the wiles of the charming Cleopatra and the restoration to his mother and sister after their years of suffering in a dungeon.
 Especially beautiful are the ensem- bles of the entire company inat the Grove of Daphne near the Temple of Apollo, where the revels and merry-making are infectious; also the vision of the Ben Hur in the Vale of Hinnom, where his mother and sister are cleansed of lep- rosy by the Nazarine, and the immense and perfectly balanced chorus sings the grand chorus, "Hosanna in the High est" 'f" -
 The costumes are extremely beautiful and true to the time of the action of the play.

Among the most interest ing was that with some of the Feni- ans who left New York for the north ern part of the state along in 1870, with a vague idea that they could conquer Canada. They had been furnished with funds through the Irish sympa- thizers in New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. They did not come up all at one time, but in squads. perhaps a few days apart, so that suspicion was not generally aroused.

TWO SUITS.

Miss Barbars Rupp of No. SS6 Crown street spent four hours in the county jail Saturday as a result of a coun- ter suit brought in the common pleas court against her by Miss Sarah J.. Root, whom the former had sued dur ing the weefi. The same amount of damages, $1,000, was claimed in both suits, but Miss Rupp found property owned by Miss Root. which she at- tached. When the sheriff went to serve the attachment in the counter suit no property was found and then Miss Rupp's body was attached. For time no bondsman to provide bail in the amount of $1,OOo could be found, and, in default of 1t, Miss Rupp, in tears. was taken to the county jail while her friends hurried about to secure relief. A bondsman was found and at 2 o'clock, after being in the jail from 10 o'clock, Miss. Rupp was released.
 It was erroneously stated in one of the papers that Miss Rupp is a niece of Miss Root The latter lives at, S55 Grand avenue and is interested in the Root bakery, which is one of the old est and leading bakeries of the city and was established and carried on for many years by her father, the late MT. Root. The suit brought was over the ownership of some household property which Miss Root says she owned and had lent temporarily to Miss Rupp's sister, who, with her husband for years occupied part of the Root residence. When the latter moved out Miss Root claimed the property in dispute. Im- mediately after the first suit was brought Miss Root sought Attorney Goodhart and made her complaint with the result that a suit for $1,000 was in- stituted. She alleged that the charge of assault made against her by Miss Rupp was untrue and that she herself was the one assaulted.
 The defendant in the counter suit is employed at the clock factory and is the daughter of Mrs. Margaret Rupp of 3S6 Crown street.

He was sized up as a man who had
been on a booze and not yet recovered
his equilibrium. So his story was SIM

He was seen in various parts of the
city during the day and showed up at
the station just before Pullman No.

pacing rather unsteadily from one end
of the platform to the other. He at
tempted to sell the whip several times,
but created no disturbance, so Officer
Fisher simply kept his eye on him and
let him alone. intending to arrest him
later should there be cause for it.
When the train arrived the man got
aboard and walked through several
cars as If looking for some one, and
then got off to pace the platform again.
But just as the train started he seemed
suddenly resolved to get out of the
city and before any one could prevent
him unsteadily climbed aboard and this
was the last seen of him here.

HIS LEG BROKEN.
A Serious Accident to Lord
Kitchener Near Simla.
Horse Became Frightened and damned
Him Against Tunnels Wall.
Was Riding Alone and Suffered Much
Before Discovered.

Sim,a. India, Nov. 16.-Lord Kitch-
ener, commander-in-chiefo of the British
forces in India, has met with serious
accident while riding alone from
country house near here.
AS he was passing through tunnel
his horse became frightened and collid-
ed with the walled side. One OF Lord
Kitcheners legs was broken in two
places.
Some time afterward. coolies passing
through the tunnel found the COM
mander-in- chief lying there helpless
and brought him to Simla. He is now
reported to be doing well.
Although accustomed to the tunnel
Lord Kitchener's horse was frightened
by suddenly coming upon a native. The
animal swerved and damned its rider
against a beam in the side wall. HIS
leg was twisted and both bones snap
ped above the ankle.
Upon discovering the identity OF the
injured man, the coolies bolted and lett
him lying on the ground where he sur

broken bones have been set and after
having passed good night, the general
Is in a cheerful mood.
It appears that Lord Kitchener had
informed the members Of his staff that
he was not going out for a ride, but
later. changed his plans. Hence, he was
alone when the accident occurred.
