MIND BECOMING AFFECTED

ROME, JULY 14.-2:15 p. m.-The
pope's condition today developed fea-
lures which he doctors regarded as
the most alarming since his illness
began. Their Judgment was based
upon the patients having brief, but
frequently recurring spells of deli
rum. Yeserday's halluciations were
not considered as one Of the same
character, that delirium being clearly
the effect of nerve prostration.
Today's deliriums convinced the
doctors that the disease has advanced
beyond the nerves and has affected
the prain.
During the periods of delirium the
patients mind wandered and he
muttered incoherently. He insisted
that shadows were fitting about the
room. In his lucid moments the pope,
for the first time, showed complete
realization of the gravity of his con-
dition. He asked for the Franciscan
benediction, which was given by Car
iinal Wives Y. Tuto. He especially
asked to see Cardinal Rampolla, to
whom he gave what it was thought
might be his final words. The in
creasing gravity Of the situation be-
coming generally known, the vatican
was besieged during the morning by
anxious visitors, comprising practic
ally all Of the leading figures in the
diplomatic world of Rome.
TUwdrus NOON no mnrkcu cnunsc
was reported, but DR.. Lapponi made
a brief visit to his sick daughter.
This led to the belief that the doctors
did not expect immediate dissolution.
ROME, July a., p. m.-The fol-
lowing bulletin just issued:
"The pope passed a fairly quiet
day, but had short periods Of depres-
sion. Pulse SS, weak; respiration 80;
temperature 36.0S centigrade.
Strength of the august patient is di.
minishing slowly but continuously

words, and co-education, so say
some of our knowing professors,

opinion this anti-marriage argu-

of men and women leads them to
suicide before marriage what would
the result be after, when they are
continually together. More def
mite methods may be adapted to

cation and this is doubtless the
only reason why co-education does
not recommend itself.

THE NEW POPE.

The new pope is creating quite
sensation in the vatican world by
his great simplicity and his aver
sion to luxury. He has discarded
all ceremony and pomp which has
obtained so remarkable degree of
development during the pontifcate
of his predecessor. 1t is almost
certain that he will abolish the
greater number Of posts now exist
ing at the papal court, and it is
said that he intends to abolish abb
solutely the corps of noble guards,
which consists OF seventy-hve
members of the Roman aristocracy
who form the pope's guard of hon
or when he goes to his apartments.
The new pope is accompanied only
by Mgr. Brassan his secretary, and
two or three other prelates. He
declined to be escorted by the noble
guards or palatine guard. He de-
cided that no stands should be
erected for his coronation in st
Peters which has taken place. Con
sequently, contrary to custom, there
were no places reserved for mem
bers Of the royal families, or of the
Roman aristocracy. In making
known his decision in this matter
the pope said: 'In church all
christians are equal before God"

THE general impression has been
that the lynching habit has been
growing in this country: The
Churchman, however, says that the
general trend of lynching statistics
is downward. According to these
statistics, there were 2,516 lynch
ings in the United States from 1884
to 1900. Of these 1873 were of
negroes. More than a fifth of
these lynchings were in northern
states. The Churchman says:
at is notable, however, that the
proportion of whites is decreasing,
owing to the dinimution of lynch
ings for horse and cattle stealing in
the west. Contrary, also, to popu-
lar opinion, hardly a fifth of the
cases were for assault, and even if
we include the categories, attempt
ed assault, alleged assault, and as
sault aggravated by murder, we
shall still find less than a fourth,
GIG, attributable to this cause. It
may be worth noting also that
forty-two states are represented in
the statistics of lynching."

THE POPS AT DENVER.

No more convincing proof Of the
populist sentiment throughout the
west has come under our notice
than the almost utter lack shown
by the public in the recent "reor-
ganization Of the populist party, F"
which occurred July 28 in Denver.
The middle .of-the-roaders" and
the "fusionists" came together and
after good deal of scufling agreed
upon the following four demands:
First money (and plenty Of it.)
Government ownership OF rail
roads and telegraphs to be operat-
ed at cost.
Ownership Of land confined TO
those who actually use it.
American shipping to be built up.
The last demand is the only one
of the four that is timely and as
usual they oppose the only likely
means by which it can be done.
To sum up the work Of the Den.
yer meeting, it furnishes interest
ing political gossip and that is all
it does or will do. The populist
party is dead for all time. If there
should be a third party in the.
field by next election it will prob
" be the socialist. The few pro-
testing elements appear to be
drifting in that direction.
