would be another and a larger pilgrimage Of

in the freedom Of the church in the United

REPORT THAT BULLS HAVE
BEEN FOUND MODIFYING
MANNER OF ElECTING POPE

SPECIAL. By CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC
Paris. July a.-(Copyright. 1909 GThe
Temps publishes the following from Rome:
Il have Just received information Of the
utmost Importance should 1t be verified, but
which at the present time 1t is impossible
to establish.
Eat the death Of Leo XIII a certain num-
Der Of bulls were found which partly
changed the form of the conclave. This. in
fact. will no longer be conclave. properly
speaking. as the Cardinals will not be re-
stricted as to their movements.
They will simply assemble twice a day
for deliberation and balloting. without be-
ing constrained to live in compon. which In
always narrowing for Ill and infirm Cardt-
mails.
They will take an oath each time they
leave the Vatican to reveal nothing and not
to be influenced by any Government.
THE Pope has a right to modify the
method Of election. and bulls to that effect
are in force until abrogated by a succeed
ing Pope. Leo XIII, shortly before ths
death of Plus IX. when he was Camerlingo,
made several notifications In the rules gov
erning the conciave. 1t Is not unlikely
therefore. that he had planned other mod
ificauons more essential and appropriate to
modern times"

greater. and consequently still more keenly
felt. In Leo XIII. besides the scholar. the
statesman. the philanthropist. we have lost
our spiritual father, the supreme pastor Of
our church: him who during his long pom
tlficate has watched with incessant solicit
tude for our spiritual welfare. and has
spared no labor to proclaim farther and
wiser the kingdom Of his divine Master His
reign recalls to our minds the brightest
days of the papacy. His noble figure mas
earned one of the most glorious places in
history.
While We bow reverenuy before the re-
mains Of our august Pontin and deplore the
great loss which his death has caused to the
church. let public and private prayers be
raised to heaven in every diocese and in
every parish for the eternal repose Of that
noble soul. As TO the public prayers, your
lort!ship may prescribe such suffages as
your plety may inspire. With sentiments Of
highest esteem and profound respect I beg
leave to remain, your devoted servant In
Christ. d. FALCONIO.
Archbishop Of Larissa.
Delegate Apostolic
NJ. Falconio requested that this address to
the Bishops be accepted as his statement
concerning the death Of the Pope. He re-
peatedly expressed In conversation his deep
personal regret over the death Of the Pop.
Bishop Rocker and Doctor AIarchetti also
expressed profound sorrow, and in response
to repeated questions Bishop Rocker gave
out the following statement:
What is there to say? The Pope is dead.
The church boasts a long line of iiustrious
Pontifrs. Leo XIII will ever stand in their
foremost rank. His reign has been WON
derful one. He assumed the pontificate at
a most critical moment. He leaves 1t to his
successor without single loss and with
great gain. He has held the most terrible
stewardship that can be intrusted to hu-
man being He has stood for more than n
quarter Of a century before the world as
the vicar Of the Savior and Of mankind.
He has finished the great work He
lays down an enormous burden. He must
have found his supreme Joy when he heard
his Master say. Well done. good and faith
full servant; enter into the Joy OF the
Lord"
The Bishops of the Catholic Church will
celebrate pontifical mass for the repose oil
the soul of the Pope in the cathedrals OF
their respective dioceses and the funeral
masses will be said in all Catholic churches.
Mgr. Falconio will probably celebrate pom
tifical mass In one Of the Catholic churches
Of Washington.
After the interment of the Pope prayers
will be held in the Catholic churches ask
ing that divine guidance may attend the
labors of the consistory in their election OF
a successor to Leo XIII.

IN the history of the United states a
departure was marked to-day from our ira

Direct recognition was given officially. In
honor of the high esteem in which this
Government held the departed Ponttn. Leo

to establish a precedent.
In marked contrast with the action to-

Government with respect to the death of

official notice Of the death of the Pope

Solemn Service to Be Said at Old
Cathedral on Day of Obsequies
in Rome.
BISHOP GLENN0N CELEBRANT.
Other Officers Will Be Prominent
Catholic Ministers-SOcietieS
and Organizations to Re
Represented.

On the same day the solemn obsequieS
of the Pope take place In Rome a solemn
pontifcal mass Of requiem viii be sung IN
the old Cathedral at Second and Walnut
streets
Bishop Glennon has orde-ed 1t and says
that no effort will be spared to make It
an event worthy Of the incident that In
spires 1t.
The Bishop will be the celebrant Of thu
mass. The other officers will be some of
the most prominent Of the local Catholic
clergy. In addition to the mass the ONCE
for the dead will be said
Bishop Glennon will consult with the pas
tors to-day and committees will be appoint
ed to make the arrangements.
A sermon will be preached and 1t Is DOS
sible that the Bishop will deliver It, al
though that has not been decided.
The music will be in charge Of tbs
Cathedral organist and will be the finest
that can be prepared on short notice.
Because Of the difference between Rome
and st. Louis time the local ceremony can
not take place simultaneously with the
ceremonies in the Vatican and st. Peters.
Pontifical high mass Is a ceremony not
often said. Bishop Glennon has sung It but
once since coming to st. Louis. that
being when the council OF the Catholic
Knights Of America was In session here.
The celebrant must be a Bishop or Arch
bishop. and the form differs slightly from
that of the regular high mass.
All Of the Catholic ministers Of the city
will be invited to attend and all Of the
Catholic societies and organizations win be-
accorded representation. At the meeting
to-day the question of reserving special sec
tons for organizations will be discussed.
In addition to the mass at tho Cathedral,
Bishop Glennon says he may give an order
for requiem services in all Of the individual
Catholic churches of the city. Should tbs
order not be given. it Is probable that many
churches will hold the service of their OWL

INSPECTION OF HIGH
SCHOOLS CRITICISED

The Sheboygan Journal speaking Of
the Teachers convention held last
week says:
"Second ward assembly room was
filed 10 suffocatiOn yesterday after
noon during the sessions OF the college
and high school section, a large
sprinkling Of club women being among
those present.
THE sensational feature Of the pro-
gram was the infereutia arraignment
of the present system Of high school
inspection by II. S. Youker, Superin-
tendent Of the Grand Rapids schools.
His paper closed with a series of
questions SuCcinctly stated as follows:
Is it desirable that the written report
made by the inspectors be abolished?
Is it desirable TO have examinations
on strictly professional basis similar
to that of doctors and lawyers and
when once made to be good for life?
Is it desirable that inspectors devote
longer time to their wark on individual
schools even though less frequent in
Specti0nS be made by reason thereof?
fS-it desirable that the functions Of
inspectors be more clearly and eXpli-
City expressed?
"Prof. B. H. Meyer of the university
vigorously opposed the charges laid at
the door Of inspectors, calling to mind
that the educational system Of this
state was unit of which the univer-
sity was the head and that all schools
must act in cooperation with the
university. He declared that he was
of the opinion that too much time
was spent by high school students on
frivolous amuSementS. Like us per-
son at d river could readily perceive
which way the current flowed So the
tendency Of a school and it's teachers
was easily discernible to the trained
| eye of the inspector aud if an inspec-
tor erred it was generally to be found
on the side of mercy as was to be in
ferred from the fact that so few
schools had not received the credit
| they had striyen for.
"Mr. Youker at the close of the
argument which was warmly entered
into by number Of Others on the
| floor admitted that the small high
schools of this state were farther
advanced and more efficient than
those of other states when the in
spectiOn was not so rigid

TELLS CONVENTION ABOUT

The exquisite gown in my illustra-
tiOn is of cream white Peau de Crepe
and Irish lace. The skirt is made
over a decidedly faring white taffeta
drop skirt with three full ruffles at
the foot. Three bands of lace are set
into the skirt at about II inches apart,
coming to decided point in the front.
The waist, with it's draped ichu
effect and wide elbow sleeve, is a
favorite style with Rue de la Paix
modistes for this autumn and winter,
and one that [ predict will be eX-
tremely popular with American
women for house and theatre wear.
A smart waist was Forsythe
model, French flannel, worn with a
skirt of the new earth brown, which
was cut with a short train and
deliberately stitched with perfectly
matched silk.
The separate blouse has an office
not a whit less important than
formerly. A glance in the shops as
well as at the best gowned women in
Paris tells this story. Not only as
morning outdoor garb with the rough
tweed ''mannish" skirt, but with the
indoor long "swishy'' skirts, it gives
woman chance to look really smart
and yet be very plainly dressed.
For wearing with the two-piece
tailor-mades, waists of the French
tlannels, English wash f1anneIs and
Scotch tartans are most popular,
while peau de grapes, heavy lace and
silk ones will be in the lead with the
elaborate coat and skirt suits for
musicales, matinees and the like.
As to hats, velvet Gainsboroughs are
having great vogue in Paris, both in
black and colors to match gowns.

MRS. JENNIE HARBOUR
TO FACE MURDER CHARGE

Mrs. Jennie Harroun of ArnQtt,
who is charged with the murder of
her husband, Walter Harroun, last
April, was placed on trial at Stevens
Point before Judge Hastings of Green
Bay tins morning, Judge Webb,
against whom Mrs. Ilarroun filed an
affidavit of prejudice, having called
him in to preside.
Mr.. Harroun, who had just re-
covered from typhoid fever and was
barely able to attend to lighter duties
about his farm, died suddenly after
eating hearty supper, and his rela-
tiveS, whose suspicious had been
aroused, secured a micrOScopical and
chemical analysis OF the dead mans
stomach, which revealed heavy de-
rnSit of strychniue.
The prosecution by the presenta-
ton Of vOluminouS evidence, will en-
deayor to faSteu the crime upon the
wife. The defense probably will
attempt to show that Harroun died
by accidental poisoning or committed
suicide
1t is known that Mrs. Harroun
bought the poison at Plover for the
alleged benefit OF sheep killing dogs.
Not all of the testimony in the
hands If the prosecution has been
given to the public, and the people
are awaiting developments in the
case with acute interest.

HELEN ADAIR'S IMPRESS
SI0NS OF PARIS STYLES
Fascinating Lace and Peau de Crepe Gowns.
The Reign Of the Separate Blouse.

After careful study of the models
shown in this fashion centre Of the
world. bright sunny Paris, [ have
culled the best and most settled
features of the leading styles for you,
carefully avoiding the over-elabOrate
and exaggerated styles, which one
often sees in sO-called fashion plates,
and which, if copied. would make the
wearer outre enough to grieve all
judiciouS behOlders.
Exaggeration in dress expresses self
consciousness, which no fashionable
woman wishes to display, and nothing
is SO marked as the exaggerated styles
in c0rsetS, which women wear to their
discomfort, believing themselves to be
smart appearing when they are only
ridiculous. A happy medium that
expresses the perfect figure but does
not cry out: ''This is d corset" can
be found in the G B la Spirite.
Fashionable taste in lace grows
more extravaganza, and Europe is
being ransacked for laceS to please
mllady. Such fascinating peau de
crepe and lace gowns as are now TO be
seen in the Paris shops settles the
question as to whether these frocks
are to be fashionable This winter.
