to.date, even to housekeeping, which never
occurred to any other pope. He employed
an army of scrubbers, and, as he had !, 100
rooms, it was work Of time, but 1t was
done with the thoroughness of New Eng
land housewife. He did not scorn a type
writer, but thought it undignified for him
to use one.
His manner and his person, HE mind and
his speech were peculiar, like none round
him. His disposition was serene-his faith
sublime. He had q strong sense of humor
and a vein of sarcasm. A royal lady painted
his portrait-it was such an atrocious carica-
ture it amused him. She asked him to affix
his autograph-he wrote in Latin, at is /;
be not afraid. Leo XIII" A physician
and scientist who visited him in 1899 said:
LEO will not die like one of us; he will
flicker out like a lamp having consumed its
last drop of OIL" He loved life, said moth
ing could happen to lessen his love, but
added it was not for the mere love of liv-
ing. He knew, as all knew, that he was
mentally as lively as ever; said he was ready
To battle in the intellectual arena as long as
his bones held together. The scientist said
he never saw one of his age whose organiza-
ton was impaired so little. He scorned
doctors and doctors stuff, yet he was cared
for and watched over like a baby by DR..
Lapponi. He ascribed his youthful spirit
to his blithe, contented mind, for which he
uaye thanks and glory to God, but would
add. with his peculiar smile, Il take little
credit to myself, too, and am proud that l
feel as young as do. If one has something
to live for, then one must put off growing
old as long as possible, and that is what /
have DONE"
Leo delighted in disputes. His eyes would
sparkle-by smiles he would encourage his
opponent in every way possible. For him
II was real mental gymnastics.
The scientist retired and said he never
saw such subjugation of matter to spirit as
in Leo XIII. It was no fgment, as Is
claimed, that he was q prisoner of the vati-
can. He might, indeed, pass out, but he was
mindful of the insults and violence used to-
ward those who bore the body of Plus TX.
from the city-bore it at midnight, in order
to give the least offence. He would not have
the papacy Inundated in his august person.
The Italian government would not give him
the protection accorded to the poorest citi-
zens in more favored countries.

his self-denial surpassed even his zeal and
worldly wisdom. To aid the poor he
stocked all the streams he could control
with fish. The fruits Of his gardens he or
dered to be preserved and dealt out to the
needy.
A late empress craved an audience with
him-had the poor taste to denounce Ger.
tain doctrines OF the church. Leo listened
with gentle courtesy. On leaving, she was
bold enough to ask for his photograph and
request that he would write something be-
meath it. Leo Kill, to those who walk in
darkness and will not see light" was what
she read.
The war between Spain and the United
States gave Leo infinite distress. he was
SO torn between the appeals of his people
in Spain and the reliance his loyal following
in the United States placed upon his up
holding the righteous end Of the cause that
it was feared he could not bear the strain.
The queen of Holland appealed to Leo to
use his influence to end the South African
war; He declared no war had caused such
bitterness of spirit-a war that was inspired
neither by ideals of civilization nor by just
national interests-but humbly added, Il
can do nothing but pray for the dead.
His life was regular and simple. He rose
at six-rather his valet called him at six,
but often found him at his desk. 1t is Ell.
quette that a pope eat alone, which he did
with all the hurry of business man. At
eight he entered upon the business OF the
day with one OF the cardinals. That over, ne
walked in the vatican gardens, which he
supervised. A gardener, whom he censured
for raising poor ivy, exclaimed: His holt
ness can teach everyone, from his cardinals
down."
After his walk he would return to his re.
ception room and receive all entitled to an
audience. Receiving, a pope remains seat
ed-the visitor makes three bows, one on en-.
tering, one in the middle OF the room, one
when kissing the pope's slipper-audience
over, he backs from the room. If Leo re-
ceived an American he directed he should
act as if he were being received by the presi.
dent of the United States. He dined lightly
in the middle of the day, committing but
of his doctors he would eat salad. Once
when made i'll by this indulgence he hum
bly, confessed he had eaten Of the forbidden
thing. After dinner he INDUCED in the
siesta, so dear to Italians, then drove in the
gardens, attended by members of the Swiss
and royal guards. After tae drive he agair
began work with his secretary. At 10 he
took his evening meal. After supper and
prayers, all OF interest in the newspapers
was read to him. He loved the news and
kept posted on all the political events
throughout the world. There was nothing
in science, literature, art or philanthropy
with which he was not familiar. He sat up
late writing verses or connecting those won
derful productions he sent out to the world;
often would rouse his secretary in the mid
die of the night to take notes. He had none
of the English dread of American inven.
tions, but wanted everything about him up.

An unknown colored man who at
tempted to board a moving freight
train at Deer Park last Friday fell
under the wheels and was instantly
killed. His remains were picked up
and placed upon the depot platform
at the village station and under in
structions from the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad officials the county au-
thorities were notified of the accident
and requested to take charge of and
inter the body. This the local au-
thorities declined to do and the re-
mains were allowed to lie exposed to
the elements until nine o'clock Fri
day night when Manager Burwell,
of the Deer Park hotel, bought a
rough box and paid for the digging
of the grave and the interment of the
remains out of his private purse.

KILLED NEAR JoHNSTowN, PA.

Gently an employee of the Preston
Lumber and Coal Company at Crel-
lin, but who went over near Johns
town, Pa, and secured work with the
Babcock Lumber Company in the
capacity of a brakeman on a log
train a week or two ago, was killed
there on Friday while in the perform
ance of his duty. His body was
brought to Oakland Saturday after
noon on train No. 90 and on Sunday
taken to the Red House where the in
terment was made.
Mr.. Kiper, as above stated, was
employed as a brakeman on the log
train and at the time of the accident
was standing on top of a truck load
of logs when the chain which bound
them together parted which allowed
the logs to roll. Before the unfortu-
nate man could gain place of safety
he was hurled from the train and
caught under one of the rolling tim
beers, crushing his life out almost in
stantly.
He leaves besides his wife four chill
dren, all of them residing at Crellin.
He was about thirty-fye years of age
and was an industrious and aw-abid-
ing citizen. He carried policy of
insurance of $1,000 with an insurance
company represented by Mr.. D. A.
Vaughn, which amount his widow
will receive shortly.

If physicians were to receive the
fees due them they would have plen
ty of ready cash at all times, but much
of their earnings is never paid. Some
weeks ago, in Oakland, a young man
was seriously injured by being struck
by train. The attending physician
knew at the time that no fee could be
expected in the case; that the patient
was penniless and that his family
was in destitute circumstances. This
made no difference, however, and the
man was taken to the hospital where
he received the best of attention, the
physician paying out of his own
pocket for the medicines, attendance
and did all he possibly could to save
the young mans life. His efforts in
this direction were fruitless owing to
the nature Of the accident and the
resultant complications. If it was
within human power to save him that
doctor would have prolonged the
young mans life. He received moth
ing-not even creditor his work.
This case is cited merely as an
instance. Similar cases are numer-
Gus. The doctor is not appreciated.
He is too often criticised. Yet the
doctor is one of our greatest benefac-
tors.
