progress being made toward settle

by the decline in securities. In so far
as the iron and steel industry in con-
cerned. There were many indications
that the Interruptions from strikes
would be less frequent in the imme-
date future and there was a general
disposition to fully sustain prices. But
the heavy liquidation and new low rec
ord prices for steel issues had much
influence upon conditions in the the
actual business. Nearly 100000 tons
OF steel rails have been ordered for
next years delivery and other heavy
steel shapes are attracting close at
tention. The trade will benefit by the
greater stability Of prices secured
through the revival of the billet pool.

DEATH ENDS REMARKABLE RE|GHj
POPE LEO XIII. DEAD.
Resigned, Cain, and Serene, Surround.
ed by Cardinals, His Holiness
Sinks Into Peaceful Sleep.

Pore Leo XIII. Is dead. The last
spark of life went out at Rome, italy,
at four minutes past 4 o'clock D. m,
July 20, and the pontiff sank into rest.
The period OF over two weeks that
Pope Leo passed in the shadow OF
| death was no less wonderful than his
life. His splendid battle against dis
case was watched the world over with
sympathetic admiration and ended, only
after series of tremendous efforts to
conquer the weakness of his aged
frame by the marvellous will power of
his mind. The pleuro-pneumonia with
which his holiness had been suffering
was scarcely so responsible for his
death as that inevitable decay of It's
sue which ensues upon SO years Of
life. The tested steel which had bent
so often before human ills was bound
TO break at last. The emanciated and
lifeless frame which held so brave q
spirit was placed on the bed In the
vatican beside which almost all the
world has prayed. The red damask
coverlet rested lightly over the body
the cardinals scarlet cape was about
the shoulders. while on his head had
been placed the papal hood Of velvet,
bordered with ermine: white silk
handkerchief bound about his chin and
In the hands which have blessed so
many thousands was placed a crucifix.
So, Pope Leo will be watched by uni.
formed officers of the Noble guard and
rough.clad Franciscan penitentiaries,
who will keep a ceaseless vigil until
the burial occurs. The Sacred College
OF Cardinals assembled July 21 for the
Impressive ceremony of officially pro-
nouncing Pope Leo dead After this sad
function had been performed the body
was taken to the small throne room
adjoining the death chamber, where II
was embalmed. The funeral cefemo-
nies will extend over nine days, the
remains being removed to the cathe-
dral of st. Peters. where they will lie
In state. The ultimate resting place
of the dead pontiff will be In the mag
nifcent basilica of st. John, the later
an. The death of Pope Leo means the
passing of the supreme power into the
hands Of the Sacred College of Cardi-
nails as Its temporary custodian during
the interregnum. The perfect admins
trative machinery of the church pro-
Tded against the slightest Interrupt
ton of the governing authority. As the
senior member Of he Sacred college,
Cardinal Oreglia, to whom the pope
solemnly conflded the interests Of the
church. has become the exponent OF
the cardinals until Pope Leo's success
sor has been elected. Il

.,l lille Opinion Of the Press.
Always glad to see you gentlemen
of the press" said Major Stogbulger
OF West Slabbington, Ark, at the Fit.
teenth Avenue hotel last evening, "and
I'll stand for anything you make me
say. learned a long time ago that
it's no use fer man in public life
to kick at the papers.
I'm the course Of my FIRST political
campaign. In my native state, I was
charged, I guess, with about every
crime a man can commit--arson,
highway robbery. forgery, piracy, and
| don't know what not--but even then
had an instructive knowledge CT what
I have since formulated into a saying
by Chauncey Depew, that nothing
printed against man hurts him un-
less 1t is true; and all these various
attacks on me didn't worry me Bit
Il knew there was no foundation for
them, and that the truth would come
clear to the public mind in time, and
so said nothing. But one day when
the paper at the county seat OF a
neighboring county to mine, the old
Eagleville Tri-weekly Tomahawk and
Mirror, came out and charged me with
murder, why, felt really that that
was something that ought to be cor
rected.
$50 I went over to Eagleville to see
the Tomahawk and Mirrors editor
nd a htrxn tp obs otoh &k~4
matter out. He was q nice, polite
man, the editor of the Mirror, and he
heard what had to say, and said he
guessed they could Ak that up all
right for me, and he fixed 1t up In q
paragraph In the next number CT the
paper that read something like this
I'VE understand that the Hon. Co.
lumbus Stogbulger Of West Slabbing-
ton denies the accuracy Of a statement
lately printed in this paper to the eff
feet that he had killed a man in q
street brawl in West Sabbington. We
are willing to accept Mr.. Stogbulger's
statement in this matter as true and
to acquit him of this killing, but as
we have since heard of his slaughter
ing two other men, one at Sandy
Bluffs and the other at Elbow Bayou,
we should say, while giving him the
benefit of the doubt In the case OF the
man at West Slabbington, that the
Hon. Columbus Stogbulger might still
fairly be regarded man Of more or
less turbulent character, and so
scarcely entitled to the suffrage Of
our people.
II never asked them to correct that.
II In acQuitting me Of the killing Of one
man they charged me with the murder
OF two 1t was reasonable to suppose
that in acquitting me Of the killing Of
two they would charge me with the
murder Of four, and SO thought that
perhaps 1t would be bettcr to let the
whole matter drop right where it was,
and that's what I did.
And, In fact, from that experience
learned never to ask for corrections;
to let things go. l don't worry the
newspapers over little things like that.
know that the newspapers will do the
fair thing.
so, gentlemen, I am glad to see
you, and whatever you print in your
interview with me I'll stand by.
