Rome, July 15.-Dr. Mazzoni. in re-
ply to the question:: Can the Pope re-
cover?' gave The Associated Press cor
respondent, tonight, the following sign
statement:
Rome, via Condotti, July 49,
''At the present moment, the disease
of His Holiness has lost it's character
of absolute gravity which it had at it's
acute period 1t might be considered
to have entered the period of a pos
sible solution. This might occur in a
man of strong fibre and young, but
it is impossible to maintain such q
hope in the case of man in his oath
year. With him the physical energy
absolutely indispensable for recovery is
lacking. Pope Leo's organism is per-
feet and as such maintains itself after
80 years of never interrupted work,
but his motor force is no longer suf-
ficient for the complex functions es-
sential to life. In other words, the SO
years of Pope Leo bring him into that
category of extraordinary longevity
when life is destined to flicker out in
dependent of the action of any patho-
logical complication. The only service
that science and affection can render
is that of struggling to have this pre-
cious existence preserved to us as long
as possible.
(Signed) "GAETONO MAZZONI."
One of the doctors in attendance on
the Pontiff gave The Associated Press
correspondent a graphic but horribly
vivid picture of Pope Leo as he APP
pears. today. The smile which lighted
up the Pontiffs face even in extreme
age has disappeared probably for ever.
The skin is drawn tightly over the bony
framework of his face, leaving the once
bright eyes staring dimly from the
deeply sunken sockets. A grayish pal
Tor overspreads his countenance, but
the most noticeable ravage wrought by
his present disease is the dropping of
the lower jaw, which has made the
Popes features take on the rightly of
death.
Throughout the day the precincts of
the Vatican We're comparatively quiet
and the immediate vicinity of the sick

days the patient was kept in almost

WOMEN LAWYERS IN FRANCE.
Admission of Ladies to Bar Hns Had
Good Results ON Manners of
Opposing AdyOcuteS.

Since the Paris bar has been open to
women, not few members of the fair
sex have taken advantage of the new
privilege accorded to them to plead at
the Palais de Justice, says an ex-
change.
The pioneer in this direction was
Mile. Chauvin, whose debut as ''advo-
cate" excited a great deal of attention,
and whose presence in the cap and
gown made great sensation at the
palais. Her debut, moreover, had the
effect of setting the fashion among
Parisiennes of wearing the white cravat
of the French lawyers. Since Mile.
Chauvin's debut in 1899 curiosity has
died out to a great extent, and no bad
effects of the law have been noticed. 1t
is even possible that, if the good re-
suits could have been anticipated, the
law would have passed the chambers by
unanimous vote, instead of by 319 to
174. AS a rule, women lawyers have
had men as their opponents at the bar,
and one could imagine himself in
sort of judicial salon, if compliments
and gallant speeches were the criterion.
But the other day two women law
yers found themselves antagonists in
case. 1t was funny to see the embar-

PARKS CONVICTED

Crime of EXtortion.
The Prisoner. Who Glared Deilantiy

New York, Oct. 3l.-For the seconL

ings last January.
1t was shown at the trial that
Parks had obtained $500 from tho
Tiffany firm as an limitation fee las!
January when the housesmithS and
bridgemen were on strike on three OF
the Tiffany contracts III this city
Parks claimed that this money was d
fine levied by his labor union. Later
the fact developed that Parks had
been disloyal to his union inasmucb
as he permitted the Tiffany firm td
employ non-union men on Jobs nttet
having received the $500.
This accusation was not denied by
the defendant OF his counsel during
the trial, but the latoy" contcnded
that Parks had given the money ia
the treasurer of his orgdaizd lion and
that the entire transaction WdS 4
business deal which, instead of being
Il crime. afforded considerable busl-
ness advantages to the firm which
paid the money. Counsel for Parks
endeaVored to introduce certificates
as to the prisoners delicate state of
health, but Judge Newburger, before
whom the case was tried, refused to
adnit them.
James w. Osborne, Parks chief
counsel, made an excellent defense,
although he had weak grounds to
stand upon. while Assistant District
Attorney Rand placed Parks in an
unenviable light both to the public
and his fellow labor unionists in his
summing up to the jury.
In his charge Judge Newburger
said that it made no difference what
disposition Parks made of the money
after he had obtained it from the
representatives. of the Tiffany firm,
if in the belief of the jurymen he had
obtained it under a threat, direct or
implied, as that fact would constitute
eXtortiOn. the crime charged against
the prisoner.
When the jury was polled and the
verdict rendered Parks glared at the
jurymen with the same look of de-
tiance which he maintained during
this, as well as his previous trial.
He was remanded for sentence
week hence. Parks is now awaiting
the decision of the higher courts on
a writ of error, having been sentenced
after his first trial to Il term of not
less than two and a half nor more
than three and a half years in Sing
Sing prison.
The charge on which his former
conviction was secured also was ex-
tortion.

with Sam Parks is under two indict-
ments for eXtortion, failed to appear
in court and his bail of $4,000 was de-
clared forfeited. \ warrant for his

AN ACROBATIC STATESMAN.
Congressman who Is Snid to Burst
His Suspendcrs Every Time He
Makes n Speech.

The most vehement speaker in cob
gress in recent times was Representa-
tive Brosius, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. His gesticulation was of vio-
lent energy. Private John Allen used
to say that whenever Mr.. Brosius made
speech he burst his suspenders. One
afternoon Mr.. Allen and a party were
watching Brosius' eXertions. There
they go now" Allen exclaimed. "Ill
bet you his galluses parted that time
or else he lost both buttons at the rear
of his trousers. AS soon as he stops
talking we will go over and find out
about it," After ten minutes more of
gesticulations the gifted orator sat
down, wiping the moisture that
streamed from his brow and his cheeks
His collar was wilted, his hair was
saturated with perspiration, and his
shirt front showed visible evidences of
the struggle. Mr.. Allen approached
the matter delicately, calling the mem
Der by his first name, eomplimenting
him upon his speech and the force of
his delivery, and finally remarking that
he (Allen) could not indulge very much
in gesticulations without busting his
galluses." Mine parted about the mid
die of my remarks" remarked the ora

Of white and negro delegates at the

important address of the evening was
that of Senator German. who in addi-
ton to his advocacy of the state
ticket and his eXcoriation of the re-
publicans referred to President
Roosevelt and the race issue as fol-
lows:
"President Roosevelt is Il man of

Vlctlons. He is young in years, i'm
pulsive, ambitious; is partisan and
beheves in his party. In his anxiety
Tor ITS success he is liable to make
mlstalt ltes, and in my judgment he has
committed most grievous error in
forcing to the front an issue which
must be deplored by all the conserva-
vatiVe men of the country.
"ln every country where the race
issue has arisen it has always car
rled in its wake lamentable results,
and has been attended by evil conse-
quences. | trust his earnestness and
lmpetuosity may be restrained and
that he may be prevailed to accept
wiser counsel in his treatment of the
negro problem.

gro race. The south has passed

order and rape and riot. BY amend

legislation the whites have secured
control, for the time being, of their
own local governments, and the col
ored race is no longer political fac
tor in any state south of the Poto-
mac.
For more than 30 years this ques-
ton has aroused sectional feeling and
divided parties. 1t has threatened

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 30-Thursday
was John Mitchell day. That is to say
all the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea in the Lackawanna and Wyoming
regions were out on parade to the
number of $4,000. Mr.. Mitchell and
Alexander 7. Connell. mayor of the
city, rode in the irst carriage. 1t was
a holiday in the two valleys. All the
mines were idle and every train
brought throngS to Scranton. The
locals" from Forest City to Nanti-
coke were in line after the carriages
and they were interspread with about
so bands.
In his speechaat the mass meeting
which followed The parade, Mr.. Mitch
ell referred to statements made that
he was ambitious iI& political way
and said that he could not be induced
to accept any political Office. His only
ambition, he said, was to further the
trades union movement.
His speech in the main was a talk
to the mine workers urging them to-
Loyalty maintain their union, that
they might be prepared to act collec-
lively when the present three-ycar
working agreement expires and new
one has to be made. If they do not
maintain the union, he said, they will
suffer reduction in wages. The goal
to which the miners should aspire,
he said, was an agreement granting
the eight-hour work day and recogni-
ton OF the union.
