ton showed that some mucous was
rafting in the lung which was original
ly affected. The pope underwent the
operation with courage His general
condition is now better and he is rest
ing"
The calmness with which the pope
underwent the operation was one of
the most remarkable evidences of for
titude that he had given in his whole
life. After a lengthy conference the
doctors concluded 1t was advisable to
operate for pleurisy, the primary pur-
pose being to explore the affected
parts. They hoped incidentally to draw
off the collected fluid. When their de-
termination was communicated to the
pontiff he showed no anxiety. On the
contrary, he submitted very willingly,
expressing the hope that good results
might come, recalling the successful
results following DR.. Mazzonis opera
ton some years ago for cyst. The op-
Grafton was not of capital nature,
not suggesting the use of cfloroform
or other anaeStheticS.
The pope lay on his bed with his left
side exposed below the armpit to the
waist. Only the two doctors and two
personal attendants were within the
chamber. The immediate direction Of
the operation devoived on DR.. Mazzoni,
who handled the instruments and
made the preparatory arrangements.
First slight incision was made in the
side of the venerable patient. A soIu-
ton of alcohol and corrosive sublimate
was then injected and cocaine was
used to deaden the sensation. The
point of operation was just below the
seventh rib, and the operation itself
consisted in the insertion of large
PrayaZ needle syringe.
This penetrated to the region where
the matter had accumulated, and by
means of suction slowly drew it off.
Under the guidance of DR.. Mazzoni the
operation scarcely occupieS over four
minutes. The pope manifested no pain
whatever, neither was there the slight
est quiver of moral dread of the opera
tion In the language of one of the
doctors the cocaine SO deadened the
parts that the pontiff felt no more
than slight pin prick.
AS soon as the liquid was drawn off
by the suction needle the patient felt
great relief, owing TO the removal of
the pressure of the liquid on the lung.

UNDERGOES OPERATION
PHILOSOPHICALLY

! The marvellous vitality and recupera-
! tive energy of the pope were never so
forcibly demonstrated as by the series
of events preceding, accompanying and
following yesterdays operation Since
the morning, when first informed that
the operation would perhaps be neces-
sary, his holiness began to inquire
about it. Turning to DIR. Lapponi with
his usual familiarity, he asked: .Will
it be painful? Remember, cannot
stand much pain.' Instead of DR..
Lapponi, DR.. Mazzoni answered.: II
can assure your holiness that you will
feel no pain A little cocaine will
deaden7 all sensation
Pope Leo retorted at once. .Remem-
Der, you said the same thing when you
extracted that cyst a; few years ago."
DR.. Mazzoni replied: THAT operation
went very WELL but this can hardly be
called an operation The pope then
concluded: 'Thendo whatever you
think best"
When the operation took place no.
body was allowed in the room besides
the doctors, except Pope Leo's valet
Piocentra. Even his nephew, Count
Camille Pecci, left the room.
The doctors had light in the win
dow, but as it faces the bed, the light
offended the weak eyes of the pope, so
that it was decided he should reverse
his position. As soon as this was sug-
gested to the pope, he himself made a

move, showing his conciousness and
determination which is so constantly
unaffected. DR.. Mazzoni did not give
him time, however, to leave his bed,
but taking him in his arms, moved the
pontiff around. The pope smiled and
said: Brave professor, I congratulate
you. Although I must have become
lighter, must still be rather heavy.''
Both doctors laughed and were pleased
at the brightness of the pope when OPP
pressed by so dangerous an illness and
when on the point of undergoing
dangerous operation. Pope Leo re-
mained sitting up in bed during the
whole time of the operation without
any support. DIR. Mazzoni used the
needle with Potain aspirater. The
pope did not even notice it, going
through the whole affair without emit
ting the slightest lament and without
showing any feeling of pain. He was
extremely pale, almost diaphanouS and
somewhat tremulous. AS soon as the
wound was closed his, holiness seemed
much relieved. His eye from an ex-
preston of languid melancholy as
sumed it's usual vivacity, illuminating
the emaciated face. DR.. Mazzoni at
once administered cordial, which the
pontiff took willingly, thanking him
with grateful look for the brave
struggle to preserve his life He after
wards expressed desire to see the
liquid which had been extracted from
his throax. Both doctors assured him
that his wish would be gratified later.
The pontiff then asked for minute ex-
plantations of the apparatus used in the
operation.
1T is most ingenious instrument,
he said, "but your hand is also very
clever. That is why the operation was
successful in not giving me any pain.
I thank you"

ROME, July S-Pope Leo is now
sleeping, but his head lies uneasily on
the pillow. The alienation brought
about by yesterdays operation of re-
moving the fluid from his pleura was
followed later in the evening hV a rest
less period, and fresh doses of chloral,
digitalis and caffeine had to be admin
istered. Under their influence the
pontiff fell into a slumber, which, how
ever, was not very peaceful on account
of the difficulty the patient has in
breathing. Seeing DR.. Lapponi always
at his bedside, the pope just before fall
ing to sleep, said kindly to him; "Now,
1T is your turn tonight. You must
sleep"
Throughout the Vatican absolute
calm prevails tonight, the excitement
Of yesterday having to a great extent
died out with the revival Of hope after
the announcement that yesterdays op-
GRAFTON was attended with success.
DR.. Mazzoni, assisted by DR.. Lap
poni's son, who is also a doctor, has
finished the analysis of the liquid ex-
tracted from the pope's pleura. The
color is orange red and it is prevalently
composed of blood with coagulated
fibrin without pus. What is feared is
reproduction of serum in the pleura,
in which case the operation will be re-
peated in about two days.
1t is hoped that the pope's strength
will be maintained, as he has taken
somewhat more nourishment, seeming
to. prefer the yolk of an egg with small
sips of stimulant, especially brandy.
Much significance is attached to an
extended visit by Cardinal Gotti, pre-
feet of the propaganda, to the sick
room, from which other conspicuous
members of the sacred college are ex-
cluded by the doctors orders. Cardinal
GottfS interview lasted twenty min
utes, even the doctors and attendants
withdrawing. This has naturally OPEN
ed a wide field of peculation. 1t is
even asserted on the authority of one
cardinal that Pope Leo expressed the
hope that in the event of the success
sion falling on Cardinal. Gotti he might
have the strength to take up and. carry
forward the great work thus confided
to him. Just what passed between the
pontiff and Cardinal Gotti only they
know, but certainly the circumstances
and length of the visit strongly sup
port the view that the pope was giving
his attention to the administration of
the affairs of the church when he hina-
self has passed away.
Throughout the day a constant
stream of visitors besieged the en-

and simultaneously the doctors could
hear air passing through that zone
which this morning was declared to be
impervious, owing to congestion. From
a pathological standpoint the free pas
sage of air was considered satisfac-
tory, but more SO were the results, the
mental and physical relief which 1t
brought to the pope. He Immediately
showed an exhilarating spirit. With a
slight smile on his pallid face he whis-
pered his thankfulness and bestowed
benediction on the doctors bending
over him. The pontiff even stroked DR..
Mazzoni's face, in the benevolent way
which is Characteristic of him. Then
with one hand he rearranged his posi-
ton, closed his eyes, and in a few min
utes passed into calm, healthful
Sleep The doctors remained by the
pope's side, noting the regularity of
his breathing, and pronounced the op-
Grafton to have been in every way
successful and leaving no perceptible
adverse results.

CORONER BRINGS
CORPSE TO LIFE
Decides That Restoratives Are
of fMore Use Than an
Autopsy.

Coroner u. G. Williams, of Hennepin

novel feat of resurrecting the man sup
posed to be dead.
In examining the body he discovered
that the man to all appearances dead
was still alive, and vigorous measures
soon restored him, to the great wonder
and amazement of his wife and neigh
5ors who had already gathered to
mourn. -
w. S. James, who is thirty years old,
came home last evening in an ex-
hausted condition, suffering from the
combined effects of the extreme heat
Of yesterday and a malady with which
he Is afflicted. Instead of taking sup
per he laid down upon q couch and
when Mrs. James came soon after to
speak to him she found him uncon-
sc1ous and motionless. To the fright
ened woman he appeared to be dead.
All her efforts to arouse her husband
proving of no avail, in an agony she
called to her neighbors, who came
trooping in to her assistance. Another
examination was made of the body Of
Mr.. James, and repeated efforts were
made to arouse him, but they were of
no avail. He laid stiff and pale, the
image of a corpse.
A council was held among the neigh
bors, Mrs. James being completely

trance to the Vatican. The guards at
the portals kept back the merely Curl
Gus, admitting only diplomatists ac-
credited to the Vatican and high ac-
clesiastical dignitaries. Among the dip
lomatists We're the ministers of Russia
and Prussia, the ambassadors of Spain,
Austria and Portugal, and the charge
daffaires for Brazil. The French am
bassador, M. Nisard, has shown deep
interest in the reports from the sick
room.
Among the cardinals arriving were
Gennaro, Nocella, Matthew, Respighi,
Cassetta, Oretoni and Gotti. 1t was re-
marked that Cardinal Oreglia, the dean
of the sacred college, was not among
the callers, although it is-expected that
he soon will be called upon to perform
the most important services of the in
terregnum. Though not calling per-
sonally, Cardinal Oreglia thrice dis
patched his secretary, Father Santo, to
learn the exact condition of the pontiff.
None of the visiting cardinals except
Cardinal Gotti saw the pope, owing to
the rigid directions of the doctors that
the patient be spared the cares and ex-
citement of the affairs of the church.
