The painters Of the 400 rejected

CANCER CAUSED POPE'S DEATH.
Doctors Say Rampolla Forbade Their
Saying So During Illness.
Special Cable Despatch TO TIE SUN

Spfc1W CIpbc DeSpuCb 10 IKE Sun
ROME, Sept. l2.-Drs, Lapponi and MAJ
zon, the physicians OF the late Pope Leo,
have published defence against the at
tacks made upon them by DR.. Cardarelli,
who practically charged that they had
made wrong diagnosis of the Pope's
disease, and declared that he died of
tlbarculous cancer instead OF pleIrisy
and pleuro pneumonia,
The defence shows flat singular inrigues
were going on at the Vatican during the
Pope's illness. Both physicians say that
they detected the true nature of the Pope's
illness, bu. Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal
Secretary of State, objected to having it
made public
When the symptoms became clearer they
insist ed upon being allowed to protect their
regulations against easily foreseen criti-
cism, but Cardinal Rampolla was i'm
movable. He even refused to have II an
nounced that third operation Of thora-
centesis had been performed, although
Drs. Lapponi and Mazzom did perform
such an operation.
The physicians, therefore, wrote In the
presence Of witness full history Of the
case, giving the real nature Of the disease
Copies Of the stat ement were given to
Cardinal Rnmpolla and the major domo
of the Vatican.
At the time Of the Pope's illness, the
correspondent of THE Sun Mt Rome ca bled
that the Pope was suffering from cancer.
His statement was denied by the authorities
at The Vatican, and it's repetition simply
called forth anot her derial, and his assevera-
ton was ri,!cued. IT now transpire-

csrned in the case that the statement

Don't take an expensive journey
in search of "a change of climate. "
Just stay right here in Providence
and get 'em all while you wait
and not a long wait, either.
Providence weather for the past
two or three months has certainly
been of an eminently characteris-
tic sort, with palm-leafed fans and
rain coats running a sharp race
for popular favor.
Surely, it is abundantly proven
that no man in this town is safe
from a wetting in any month of
the year without one of the latter
garments.
Our rain coats are light, porous
and comfortable, and they always
look trim and dressy. even should
the sun come out.
Fabrics are both foreign and
domestic, and are waterproofed
by new process.
We sell great many of them.
