POPE lEO'S LAST SUNDAY

DOUBTS AS TO RECOVERY.
His Pulse ls Steady but Weak-Death

Telegram of Sympathy Received
Deeply appreciated by Authorities.

Rome, July 10, Midnight.-The pope
lies tonight in state of coma and
there are grave doubts in the minds
of his doctors whether he will ever
completely emerge. His immediate
dissolution seems only to be diverted
by the activity of his heart. His pulse,
though weak, continues steady. Short
ly before midnight, DR.. Lapponi said
to the correspondent Of the Associated
Press:
"The pope at the present moment
is in a state of coma, which may be
called condition preceding the last
agony, the duration of which it is i'm
possible to forecast, although every
thing leads to the belief that his con-
dition can not last. To be more exact,
he Is still in state of torpor and
stupor, from which, however, he
rouses occasionally when he hears
sharp sounds, as, for instance, the
insistent voice of one of his familiars
calling loudly to him. Left alone, he
relapses Immediately into condition
of torpor. At intervals he murmurs
in his sleep, continuing to have fore
bodings that he is being abandoned by
his valet, Contra, and myself. These
are the symptoms Of incipient cere-
bral anemia and general exhaustion.
He can no longer turn in his bed with
out assistance and is being kept alive
by artificial stimulants. During the
last "a hours he has had two injec-
tons of camphorated oil, three Of
| ffnir nd txyN of hvn ~
salt water, besides drinking stimu-
lants."
Mgr. Bislotti, master Of the pope's
chamber, said earlier in the evening,
that the pulse of his holiness had not
yet shown any signs of becoming in
termitent, so, despite his extreme
weakness and coma, ne believed the
: pope would survive the night and pos
sibly tomorrow. Both the Italian gov.
; eminent and the authorities of the
vatican have made final preparations
/. for the pope's death. The government
). is rigidly censoring all kilograms and
y telephone communications between

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.

In order to provide funds for the
opening up of a road to the property
and the driving of still deeper tunnel,
the Fisher Maiden-Troy Mining COM
pany, operating in the SLOGAN country,
has decided to reorganize on an as
sessable basis, and meeting for that
purpose has been called at Rossland
for August IL.
Greenwood Miners union, No. 20,
W. F. of NJ, is preparing to hold eel
that date being the anniversary of the
institution of the union at Greenwood.
It is stated that the Kootenay railway
men have considerably arranged to
postpone for week their excursion to
ROssland, so as not to clash with
Greenwood's celebration.
All trace of the disaster in No.
mine at Cumberland, near Victoria,
has been cleared away, and the mine
has resumed work. The list of dead
now totals Is, two more victims hav-
ing succumbed to their injuries and
another can not recover. The fire
must have been very severe while ii
lasted, for in many instances the flesh
of the Cinnamon was burned clear
through to the bone. The accident is
now attributed to foul shot.
With the past week the various
mines of the Boundary have shipped
over 300,0u0 tons of ore this year, and
the tonnage sent out to the smelters
is the greatest for several months, be
ing above $4,000 tons, as follows

MRS. LEASE HEARD FROM.
Delivers an Address at the Funeral of
Preacher.

New York, July 24.-At the funeral
services yesterday of the Rev. Ira Moore
Courlis. pastor of the Church of the
Fraternity of Soul Communion, Brook
Ign, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, the wo-
man suffrs. gist of Kansas, made an ad-
dress. Mrs. Lease was almost in tears
as she commenced her eulogy, which
she delivered at the deathbed request of
Mr.. Courlis.
1T was at the close of the great civil
war, when the armies of the north and
south had left the fields of battle to
walk in the paths of peace, that our
friend was born,' said Mrs. Lease, land
from the year 1865 until he died he
proved that he was particularly endow-
ed with a perception that enabled him
to make known the unseen. He had ex-
traordinary clairvoyant and clairaudent
gifts, and through these qualities he
made many loyal souls happy.
He believed in the Bible and taught
from it, and as near as possible, he lived
the Christ life. The world has just lost
the loved and revered head of a great
church. but the death of Pope Leo XIII
is not more sincerely mourned than is
the departure of our late friend and
pastor of this church, the Rev.1ra Moore
Courlis. He taught liberation for all re-
ligions of Christ. That he was not rec
ognized by the world at large is owing
to the fact that Spirituallsm is persist
emily misunderstood.
''Spiritua ests believe that the angels
guarded Christ's sepulcher; they believe
that He appeared to His disciples; they
believe that the body is of the earth
and the soul is of God. All of this the
several Christian churches believe. But
the Spiritualists believe further. They
believe that spirits make themselves
known to those left in the flesh, now, as
well as 10 centuries ago. Mr.. Courls
believed this and taught it.
And so it is, my friends. Our pastor
believed in a soul and Immortality. He
has passed beyond. He proved his he
lief while on earth. He experiences 1t
now We look upon. this lifefess clay
and we ask it where the soul has gone
1t is dumb We ask the stars, and they
are dumb.
MY friends, if we could only open our
spilitual eyes we would see at this
moment, gathered around this casket,
white robed spirits. They are here, fill
ing this cathedral with their presence.
And among them is our brother and
pastor. who would utter to you words
of sympathy for the grief you feel, and
exhort you to be happy in the knowl-
edge that he has gone to higher state.
He is what the world calls dead. but,
my friends, his death bed was happy.
He was not afraid of the grim presence.
He looked upon death as a deliverer-
I'VE are all sentenced to death. my
friends Not one has escaped that IN
exorable decree since the beginning Of
creation. but we should not look upon
death with feelings of horror. The hour
of death is the hour which tries men
souls but to US who know the beyond,
it should be welcomed

HAS NOT BEEN ABANDONED
Manager Brigham Says Annual Elk
position Is Still Alive.

In the announcement of the mer-
chants and manufacturers exhibit,
which is to be made a feature of the
state fair this fall, the statement was
made that it had been decided to aban-
don the Midwinter exposition at the
Auditorium for the coming season. Sec
rotary R. S. Brigham of the Midwinter
Exposition company says that that
statement is unauthorized and should
not have been made.
1T has by no means been decided that
the Midwinter exposition will not ~
held this winter and 1 regret that any
impression should be thrown out that
it had. AS matter of fact the propo-
sition has not been taken up by the di-
rectors of the company and probably
will not be before October. A manufac-
turers' exhibit in connection with the
state fair will be pleasing and valuable
feature and need in no way conflict with
the business of the Midwinter exposi-
ton company. In justice to ourselves
and to the merchants and manufact
ers of the state 1 think the idea should
be corrected. I do not know what ac-
ton may be taken in regard to the
holding of another Midwinter exposition
but it has certainly not been decided to
give up the enterprise which has met
with such success during the two win

OPPOSE PIPE LINE.
Chanute Papers Do Not Want Gas
Brought to Topeka

Chanute has walked up on the propo-
s1tlOn of piping gas from the field which
bears its name to Topeka, and the re-
cent issues of the Chanute papers have
declared decided opposition to the prob
ect of the two pipe line companies
which have asked for franchises to do
business here. In a recent interview in
the Topeka State Journal Vice PreSi-
dent J. H. Curran, of the Continental
company, stated that he did not think
there would be any opposition to piping
gas from Chanute to Topeka on the
part of the people of Neosho county
A law, which has never yet been test
ed IN the courts, was passed by the
legislature of 1901, providing for the
piping of natural gas and authorizing
companies engaged in that business to
condemn land after the manner of
railroad companies 1t is very likely
that should the Continental company.

Both the Chanute Tribune and the
Chanute Daily Sun have sounded the
can 10 arms for the protection of the
Neosho gas. The Tribune merely re-
produces the article in the State Jour-
nal. The Sun says:
There was an article in the Topeka
State Journal last night that is an ex-
cellent rebuke to Chanute for her dila-
torlness in securing manufacturing con-
Germs to consume gas and it might truth
fully be said that we will richly deserve
the financial ruin that will come to us
whenever the gas supply is piped away
and our wonderful wealth is drained
away.
1T is incredible that the board of
trade, the city council the county com
missioners and every man whose in
terests are in Neosho county should be
willing to sit calmly, supinely by and
allow companies to drain the county of
its natural wealth, the greatest gift God
gave it,and to see that wealth go toward
the building up of other communities.
TT may be true that Neosho county
is anxious to market its gas in Topeka
but the Sun doubts it, and will not be-
lieve there is any following to a move
ment of that character until it is
shown more conclusively than the mere
statement of a promoter.
THE Sun can cheerfully volunteer
that the Continental company, its as
sociates and assigns, will have about all
the opposition that they can handle for
many years to come before they succeed
in laying their Topeka lines in Neosho
county,"
