that his favorite should become pope,

During the afternoon the strength

hours of his life remained to him. 1t
was. therefore, deemed wise to advise
him of his grave condition and this
was done with tender precaution. Pope
Leo was thus prepared for his last
communion, which was administered
tonight with the participation of all
the cardinals now in Rome and the
whole of the pontif1cal court.
The solemn yet gorgeous ceremony
of administering the. last sacrament took
place at the bedside of Pope Leo. The
central figure was the dying pontiff,
his long life's journey nearly over,
calmly preparing to enter the dark val

the confession of faith, as formulated
by the council of Trent, and finally the
words of abSolution and the formula
of indulgence in articulo mortis were
solemnly pronounced by the grand PEN

gospel, the Lords Passion. AS the last
words died away, all fell on their

pronounced in scarcely audible words

SPECULATION BEGINS
AS TO SUCCESSOR

All kinds of speculation are already
in circulation as to the probable sue
cessor to the throne of st. Peter. Opin-
ions are much divided. owing to the
many interests which will be affected
according to the choice made by the
sacred college. The first question the
cardinals will have to solve will be
whether the conclave shall be held in
Rome or outside of Italy. 1t is be-
lieved that the supporters OF the idea
of abandoning Rome will be even fewer
in the conclaye, held after the death
of Plus TX, when thirty-two out of
thirty-seven cardinals voted in favor

got our fishing paraphanalia together
and wended our way to the depot and
departed on noon train going among
white hills through Whitefeld and
Lancaster to Grovtan, N. H where
we hired a conveyance and soon pack

on our way toward the waters of the
beautiful Umbagog, Our route was
up picturesque valley, with noun

that had put On their gorgeous gar
