The same kind of general reac-

Death of Pope Leo.

ITO2ICSO1NC oAAAOA
After impressive funeral ceremonies
the body was buried Saturday. The
article on "Pope Leo and the Catho'
lie" on page 6 of last number
contained much valuable informa-
ton, and a fuller account Of the
Pope's career Clipped from the New
York Outlook of July 25th) is given
herewith:
Leo Kill, who was reckoned by
some authorities of the Church as
the two hundred and f~fty-third, by
others as the two hundred and fifty
seventh pontif to fill Peters chair:
was in his ninety-fourth year. He
was the son of Count Ludovico Pecci
and was baptized under the name
Vincent Joachim Cor Giacomo) Pee
CT. He was educated at a Jesuit col
Iege in Uiterbo, in the ecclesiastical
colleges of Rome, and at the Roman
University. It is recorded that his
youthful attainments were unusual
not only in the classics and in phil
osophy, but also in mathematics and
physics, and he was made a Doctor
of Laws some sixty-fve years ago.
Taking holy orders, he received pre-
ferment of various kinds from Pope
Gregory XVI, and in his administra-
ton of the church's affairs at Peru
gia and Benevento showed vigorous
executive ability; in B~enevento, for
instance, he is largely to be credited
with putting an end to a long-estab-
lished system of brigandage.
Plus TX. created Pecci a cardinal
in 1858, after he had held the Offices
of Bishop of Perugia and Archbishop
of Damietta. Just twenty-five years
later he was chosen by the conc1ave
to succeed Plus TX. As is more com
mon than otherwise the choice was
a compromise between factions whose
candidates we're too strong to yield
one to the other, but not strong
enough to secure a majority. Pecci
was regarded as a moderate compared
with the candidates of the extreme
conservative and racial parties.
In matters relating to internation-
al politics Leo XIII. soon showed a
tendency to placate enemies rather
than a provoke contests particularly
was this so with regard to Germany,
whose Government soon recognized
the POpe's force and ability, and
reached with him a peaceable under
standing upon questions growing out
of the kulturkampf controversy,
which at one time seemed impossible
of a reasonable solution. The same
desire for Cancellation was shown in
LeO's dealings with Russia in regard
to the treatment of Roman Catholics
in that country. In American affairs
he has always taken a warm interest;
during his last illness he c ex-
claimed, "The Americans love me
more than any other people"
Leo XIII. has s~teadfastly main
tanned his claim to the temporal SOW

JOE HANDLER PASSED UP

Williams Has Been Substituted to Meet Miller at
the Eagles Benefit

Again the plans of the Savannah
Athletic Clubs manager have gone
aglee because of the fickleness of a
dilatory gentleman of the roped arena.
scheduled to come, and latest advices
telling that he was about to come, and
everybody believing he was on his
way, when nothing to the contrary
had been heard up to and past the
time set for his departure, advices
from New York yesterday announced
that Joe Handler had not left for this
city, and his manager was in Boston
and would not return to New York
until to-day.
That was too much for the usually
patient manager of the local club, and
not wanting to have the Barrett act
of appearing at the last minute re-
geated he forthwith countermanded
his order for Handlers tickets and
wired Billy Wilson at Philadelphia to
bring Kid Williams on to meet Mil
Ter. Wilson answered that Williams
was ready, and both of them would
leave on to-days steamer, which, if
they get down to the dock in time for
the ship and remain in the same frame
of mind as when last heard from,
will put them here Sunday night or
Monday morning.
1t is not known what caused Bar
rett, who was arranging for Handlers
departure, to have the trip DELAYED,
nor is it cared much, promptness in
executing contracts being what the
Savannah Athletic Club wanted, and
the absence of that causing them to
switch in a hurry to another man,
Williams is not known to the local
management, but he is vouched for by
Billy Wilson, in whom every conf
dence is placed, and Wilson says he
is as good as Handler, or better, and
has whipped all the good men in Chi
cago and Philadelphia.

of the motor he gets beyond the help
ing influence of the wind screen and
he is gone, for he can never run his
motor down nor wo anywhere near as
fast by himself. He may catch the
moter on its next lap around the
track by it slowing some for him
and by riding hard and skillfully, but
he has lost considerable distance in
that time and unless he had a good
lead upon his opponent before he lost
the pace he is done. for the race.
The deXterity with which the riders
follow the motor in a time faster than
the fastest race horse, and keep so
close to the pace-making machine that
it looks every moment that he must
surely strike the rear motor wheel
with his front wheel, to his certain
destruction, is marvellous, and beyond
ones getting used to in one attend
ance at the track. When three and
four motors and their followers get on
the steeply inclining and seemingly
narrow track at one time and whirl
around at a pace which necessitates
both riders and machines inclining all
most horizontal, to counterfeit centFif-
ugal force, 1t appears that no earth
ly assistance can prevent a catastro-
phe and one holds his breath in anx-
ious expectancy, feeling that certainly
one or all of them will go over the
bank in a moment, or crash together
in jumbled, rolling heap.
But they do not. So steady is their
nerves. so cool their judgment and so
skillful are they in controlling their
machines, that they race for miles
and miles, eight times around the
bowl for each mile, first one leading
and then the other, without a single
collision or accident, and with not even
a narrow escape as felt from a riders
standpoint. The men are self-pos-
sessed at all times and never lose track
of what to do at the right time.

FELTz LOSES TO GOODMAN.

asked him if he would not put his bout
with Goodman forward few nights

OPENING OF COLISEUM
is ARRANGED FOR

The Savannah Coliseum will open
next Tuesday night for a meet of
three days of motor-paced races by
the worlds fastest and most daring
riders. The management promises a
sensational programme, covering three
red letter nights. Beginning Tuesday
night, the 21st, they will be run
through Wednesday and Thursday
nights. The hundreds of Savannah
ians who witnessed the races last year
will easily remember how sensational
and daring the races were, the very
eyes being taxed to follow the flyers
as they whirled around the bowl.
The races will be between Walthour
Bald, Lawson Butler. Moran and
Newkirk. the worlds fastest motor
followers. The battle for supremacy
will be for the American championship
and $1,000 in real money. Bobbie Wal
thour of Atlanta is now the worlds
champion, and the other worlds lead
ers will battle for his laurels.
TO one who has never seen a motor
paced race the time they make seems
incredible and on the first visit to the
track 1t is hard to understand how
the rider of the motors can steer them
around the track without shooting
over the embellishments and it is hard
er to understand how the riders on
ordinary racing wheels can keep pace
with them. But they do the rider of the
motor forming a screen which breaks
the wind resistance from the rider, and
forms partial vacuum behind the
motor in which the pace follower is
drawn along. But if he is not able
to stand the pace and keep his front
wheel barely missing the rear wheel

Will receive the warmest package that
has ever been passed to him when he
steps into the ring here, for Miller is
in top shape now and is putting in his
regular work every day to perfect his
condition as much as is absolutely pos
sible. Wilson says Williams is in ex-
cellent condition and that he will put
him through the PAGES on the way
down, which will put him in strong
fettle before he reaches here, and
leave only the finishing work to be
done after his arrival. ~
The sale of seats for the Eagles
benefit, before which the bout will
take place, is going merrily on and by
the night of the event there will be
very few seats left in the house. The
scene in the club that night will be a
brilliant one and no doubt gayer than
at any event ever held In the S. A. G.
quarters. The handsome new hall will
be decorated with the red, white and
blue colors of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, the First Regiment Band and
Orchestra will be on hand to furnish
enlivening music, and besides the main
bout, and the two preliminaries, a pro-
gramme of topic songs will be ar
ranged.
The preliminaries promise to be the
best that have ever been seen at any
of the bouts heretofore held, as the
men to take part in them are more
equally matched and each one of them
good one. Jack Sheehan and Ed Du-
rane will go on in the first preliminary.
Both men signed articles yesterday for
6 rounds at 125 pounds. The second
preliminary will be arranged between
Young Jollie and kid" Duffy of New
Orleans, if Jollie can be found. Duffy
is in the city and spelling for go. He
worked out with Miller yesterday aft
ernoon at the Turkish bath gymnasium
and showed up in good form. AS soon
as Jollie can be located they will be
matched for s rounds at lis pounds,
if Jollie is willing and can make the
weight. Jollie is a promising young
boxer, and as he has never been seen
in the city against an outsider the go
would be interesting.
