The attention OF these people
and tho public In general is called

which everyone is liable who goes

Washington. July 21.-The state de-
partment, upon learning of the death of
the pope, sent the following cablegram
to Cardinal RampOlla: THE president
desires me to express his profound
sense of the loss which the Christian
world has sustained in the death of
his holiness, Leo XIII. By his lofty
character, his great learning, and his
comprehensive charity he adorned his
exalted station and made his reign one
of the most illustrious as it has been
one of the longest in the history of the
Catholic church.
Oyster Bay, l.. l., July 21.-Presi-

setting a Fashion.

A New York man tells a quaint
story about a new maidservant he once
employed.
This maid he said, had just come
over from the old country and she was
very green. Everything she did pro-
claimed her greenness. One of her
habits was always to come downstairs
backward.
81 assure you it was a funny sight
to see her descending a staircase slow
ly in that way. Her hand grasped the
balustrade for safety and every little
while she looked round to see how
much farther she had to go.
"'Why do you come downstairs back
ward, Kathleen? some one asked her.
"'Sure, SIR she answered, that's the,
way we always came downstairs in the
ship comm over. Isn't it the fashion
in America -

GRADUAL APPROACH OF DEATH
Brief Story OF the Last Day on Earth o,
the Roman Pontiff.


Pope Leo's last day on earth was
full of physical anguish, and this was
heightened by fleeing moments Of
cons tiousress which permitted him
fully to recognize the slow approach
of his Cnd. When the doctors assem-
bled in the sick room for the morning
conference the aged suffererrecOgniZed
them and mournfully said their task
would soon be over. Toward noon the
pOntiff had distinct sinking spell,
during which his heart almost ceased
to beat
The cardinals and Pope Leo's rela-
tives were hastily summoned and word
spread through the Vatican that death
had actually occurred. But despite the
fmminence of danger the pope again
rallied. Even when the cardinals
stood about the bedside expecting the
advent of death the sufferer opened
his eyes and his lips moved with
words of benediction. The cardinals,
kneeled beside the bed and kissed his
hand. For two hours the pope lin
gered in a state of semi-cOnsciOusnes
About o'clock it became apparent
that his life was fast ebbing away.
The cardinals and his relatives were
again summoned from the adjoining
chamber. Prayers for the dying were
said and absolution in articulo mortis
was administered. Still the spark of
life continued to flicker, gradually
growing DINNER and DINNER.
At 2:45 p. IN. the doctors detected
the approach of the final agony. Some
slight signs Of consciousness remained
and the dying pOntiff muttered some
inaudible words. Gradually his power
of speech and sight were blunted and
he could neither see nor speak. Thus
the chill of death gradually Overspread
him until at O'clock the struggle
ended and he passed into the endless
sleep of eternity.

Coral That Shocks.

On the coast Of the West Indian IS
lands a curious kind of coral is found,
called "millepoca." This has most
extraordinary property which makes
the people who know it very shy Of
handling it. The moment you pick up
a piece a sort of electric thrill runs
through you and an agonizing pain
shoots through your jaws. You feel as
if every tooth and every nerve and
muscle connected with them was
burning. The acute pain lasts gen.
orally for about half an hour and slow
ly passes off; but the effects do not dis
appear entirely for hours. The reason
of this curious shock or poisoning is
mystery

Pope Leo's final moments were
marked by that same serenity and Ge-
votion, and, when he was conscious,
that calm intelligence which is asso-
ciated with his twenty-five years pom
titicate. His was no easy death. An
hour before he died, turning to Dr.
Lapponi and his devoted valet, Pho
Centla, he murmured: 'The pain l suf-
fer is most terrible" Yet his part
ing words were not of the physical
anguish that he suffered, but were
whispered benedictions upon the car
dinals and his nephews, who knelt at
the bedside, and the last look of his
almost sightless eyes was towards the
great ivory clucifx hanging in the
death chamber

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART
MRS. MATT GR0SSBfIER KILLS HUSBAND
Tragedy Takes Place al MarshfieId- Couple
Had Not Lived Happily Together
Jealousy the Cause.

BY long distance telephone we
learned Monday night of the killing OF
Matt GroSsbeier of Marshfield. that
day at about noon. The story was
given US as follows: Mrs. Matt
GroSsbeier shot her husband through
the heart, killing him instantly. at
noon Monday. For several weeks the
couple had not lived happily together
and at the time of the tragedy were
not occupying the same house.
GrOSSOeier took another woman TO
picnic Sunday. This so incensed his
wife that she went to the room at
which he was stopping and DESTROYED
a large crayon portrait of him. At
noon Monday the murdered man went
to the lodgings of his wife and after
trying to get into the place at the
front door broke the lock at the rear
door. effecting an entrance. Mrs.
GroSSbeier had not yet risen. On
entering GrOSSbeier seized her and
threw her to the floor and taking a
pocket knife threatened to kill her.
While in the struggle on the floor
Mrs. GrOSSbeier drew from the lining
of her dress a 32-calibre revolver and,
placing the muZzle to her husband S
breast, pulled the trigger. The bull
let entered the left breast, death
resulting instantly.
The two had lived together for five
years and had no children. The
woman claims that on several occa-
sions her husband had told her he
would kill her and for that reason she
carried the revolver. The room in
which the murder took place shows
signs of fierce struggle.
