how I've managed to get along without one. .
The red faced man paused and seemed
lost in thought.

ISN'T it funny that no one has ever thought

DEATH ENDS POP['S REIGN.
After Remarkable Fight Against the

Church Passes Away.
ALMOST SUPERNATURAL VITALITY.
Einal Scene in Death Chamber wa.

Prayers offered All over m
World For Departed ~Soul-sank
Peacefully Into Last sleep.

Rome, July 20, 5 p. m.-Pope Leo
MIL, the two hundred and fifty
eighth pontiff of the Catholic church,
died at 4:04 o'clock. just 16 days after
he was stricken with pneumonia.
He was 90 years old and had
reigned as the supreme head of the
Catholic church 25 years.
The announcement of his death was
delayed two hours by the Italian gov
eminent, which demanded full o N
firmation before it allowed the news
to be flashed throughout the world.
Then the great bell at the vatican.
which rings only to the
passing of a p%ontiff, was sounded, and
all Rome knew that the end of Leo
had come.
That the pope could not live
through another day was announced
by the doctors at midnight last night.
His sleep was disturbed frequently,
and he was almost constantly deliri-
Gus. The cardinals were summoned
to the vatican to be present when
death should claim the pontiff. His

three nephews and his valet were at
his bedside. Once they were sum-
moned into the room, as the custom
provides. but were quickly excluded
when the patient revived.
The pope. when he had lucid inter.
walls, also realized that the end was
at hand.
"You will not win your brave fight
against death to-day" he said to his
doctors this morning on awaking.
Confdes Church to Cardinal OregIia.
When. during the alarming crisis
about noon, he was lying on his bed,
perfectly motionless. while around
him knelt the cardinals and other
members of the papal court, praying
and not knowing whether the pope
was not already dead, without any
preliminary restlessness, the pontiff
opened his eyes, which fell on Cardi-
nal Oreglia. who was at his side, and
said solemnly: ITO your eminence,
who will so soon seize the reins of
supreme power, I confide the church
in these difficult times"
Then Mgr. Bisleti, the master of the
chamber, asked for the pope's bene-
diction for the court, which the pope
granted, adding:
"Be this my last greeting"
Then the pontiff gave his hand to
kiss to the cardinals present, who
were Oreglia, Rampolla, Vannutelli,
Dolla Volpe and Wives Y Tuto.
DR.. Lapponi, profiting by the ANNA
ton, administered restoratives,
whereupon the patient sank back as
suddenly as he had revived.
At two o'clock he lost all con-
seriousness and sank gradually and
peacefully into the final sleep of
death.
The officials identification of the
pontif's body will occur tomorrow
morning in the presence of the mem
bers of the sacred college. Then Car
dinal Oreglia will tap the pope on the
head to ascertain if he is dead.
When it became known, shortly be-
foure A p. m. that the pope's journey
through the valley of death was al
most finished, Cardinal Vannutelli
hurried again to his bedside, and was
followed shortly afterwards by what
is called in vatican p%hraseology the
"papal secret family" and the noble
family" besides the personal fam
ly,"includingthe late pope's nephews,
Comte Ludovico, Ricardo and Camille,
ana also all the cardinals at the vati-
can, who afterwards retired to the ad.

allowed to kiss the pontitf's hand and
