Great Brftain's Trade.

Up to now Britain retains from 20
to Is per cent of the total trade of
the universe. No other nation has yet
come within half of this remarkable
percentage Nearest is Germany, with
nearly IL per cent; France claims
about nine per cent, the United States
secures rather more than nine per

Charles Bonaparte has some Of the
characteristics of his great uncle. He
is diminutive in stature and his features
have the Napoleonic cast. He is born
fighter, and since he came to manhood
he has been scrapping continually with
somebody or other. He was gradu-
ated from Harvard in the same clas'
with Senator Lodge, and is little oven
SO years of age. He is a fine lawyer
and has a record for winning cases. IN
politics he calls himself republican,;
but most republicans would probably
call him a mugwump, as he votes
against his party as often as for it.
He is conspicuous as a political re-
former. He is hot advocate of civil
service reform, and is so much of an
anti-imperialist that when it was pro-
posed three years ago to give President
Mckinley an l.. l.. D. at Harvard, Bona
parte, who is a member of the board
of overseers at Harvard, not only voted
against it, but took pains to denounce
it publicly. There is one quality, how
ever, that fits him especially for the
work assigned to him by the admins
tration-a merciless antipathy to ras-
Gals.

sips of meat broth, alternated with half
spoonful of chicken gelatine. His urine
continues scarce, amounting in the last
"a hours to SO cubic centimeters When
asleep the pontiff appears to be dead.
His cheeks are sunken, his eyes are
hollow and his jaws are exceptionally
prominent, the skin being tightly
drawn over the bones.
Patient Sits Up.
In the morning, after a night during
which stimulants and nursing restored
him to fairly good condition, the pope
complained of soreness, due to the
many days he had passed in bed. To re-
lieve this and to humor him. the pa
tient was allowed to sit in his arm
chair for short time, with apparent
good effect. The celebration of mass
in honor of st. Leo and the popes con-
versation with Mgr. Pifferi were the
only other incidents which on Friday
relieved the tedium of the sick chamber.
BIesses Those Who Pray for Him.
After the visit of the physicians the
pope received Cardinal Rampolla, who
remained in the sickroom only a few
minutes He again gave the pontiff
a full report of the prayers offered in his
behalf all over the world. His holiness,
raising both hands, said: 81 bless all
those who pray to God for me-"
Mazzoni Has No Hope
Rome, July 16.-Dr. Mazzoni, in reply
to the question Can the pope recover?"
gave out the following signed state
ment:
Eat 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 possible
solution. This might occur in a man of
strong fiber and young, but it is impOssi-
BILE to entertain such a hope in the case
of a man in his ninety-fourth year. With
him the physical energy absolutely in
dispensable for recovery is lacking.
Pope Leos organism is perfect, and as
such maintains itself after SO years Of
never interrupted work, but his motor
force is no longer sufficient for the COM
/plex functions essential to life. In
other words the SO years Of Pope Leo
XIII. bring him into that category of
extraordinary longevity when life is
destined to flicker out independent of
the action of any pathological complica-
ton The only service that science and
affection can render is that of struggling
to have this precious existence preserved
to us as long as possible"

"OH, FOR A TICKET"
An Expression That Is on
Thousands of Lips Today.

Where on earth can I get hold of &
ticket to the Auditorium tonight?"
This is the question which has beer
asked to 10000 people-more or less-to-
day. Everybody wants to get a seat in
the Auditorium, but it is next to inn
possible for most people to secure one.
This is one time that the politicians
cannot score. and they are more anxi-
GUS than anybody else
There are about $500 tickets to the
Auditorium issued, including those who
will be admitted by virtue of their
badges. 1t requires more than 1900 tick
cts for the visiting delegates, leaving
something over 1000 to be- distributed
among other visitors and Topeka peo-
pie. It is prominently a meeting for
railroad men and Y NJ c A. men, so
the railroad men have the right of way.
The great bulk of the local tickets go
to the railroad men in the shops, and
Santa Fe offices. The city 7. NJ. c. A.
gets limited number
The state officers receive two tickets
each, and they are balcony tickets. Gov
ernor Bailey was sent tickets for his
party. There viii be y in the party
besides the members of the president 8
party, so Harry Bone. secretary to the
governor, sent in a request for two
more. 1t was ike pulling teeth to get
them. and still the governor is without
any tickets for some of his friends who
are here from Baileyville to see him.
The assistant state officers and APP
pointive officers al the state house are
unable to get any tickets at all. Conse-
quently they are on the verge of a riot.
This is one time when they have to
give railroad employees the right of way
Every little while some politician calls
up the governors office and asks II the
governor can't fix him out with two or
three tickets for tonight's meeting. lie
is very much surprised to hear that the
governor cannot possibly do so.
The common, ordinary citizen who IS
neither a railroad man nor member
of the Y NJ. c. A, and who has no
pull with either one. stands little show
of getting a seat in the Auditorium to-
night.
Admission will be by ticket only until
7:45. After that the standing room in
the balcony viii be allowed TO be filed.
