The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1903-07-15

Rome, July 9.-Since his illness the
Pope has not begun day so satisfac-
torily as this. Indeed, hopes OF his
recovery reached such point as to
make the general public believe that
the Pontif might soon be out OF DAN
ger. No better synthesis OF this ,Vlew.
could be given than in the words OF
Dr.. Lapponi, uttered on leaving the
sick room at about noon, that although
he did not yet dare to hope, he had
perhaps ceased to despair. This prom
ising outlook, however, was followed
by the startling announcement that
the Pope had been attacked with dlar-
rhoea, apparently caused by the large
Quantity of food he had taken, and
that consulting physician had been
sent for.
The patient, when he began the day,
showed once more his iron mountain
eer fibre by raising and dressing al
most without assistance, walking
across the room to his arm chair, and
having his toilet fully performed, even
to the detail Of being shaved. Through
out this procedure the Pope showed no
sign of being exhausted. Indeed, he
iokingly alluded to the amount OF
nourishment which was being imposed
upon him and said: 81 ought to grow
fat. as I never had in my life as much
as I get now." This buoyancy Of
spirit was considered to be one of the
principal coeficients in the struggle
with death which this admirable old
man has made in the last seven days.
The doctors, previous to the alarming
attack of 5his afternoon, said there
was not the slightest diminution IN
the acuteness of the Pontiff's mental
faculties, SIS shown in the remarkable
manner when the Pope insisted on 60
ing ever some of the larger questions
of Church policy laid before him by
Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal secre-
tary Of State. :
About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, al
though no worse, the Pope was not
reported to be any better, and then
came the news of the Pontiff's sudden
relapse and of the sending for con-
sulting physician.
After long conference in the night
it had been decided that in case the
Pope grew worse there should be q
consultation at which at least one
doctor should be present. Both DR..
Mazzoni and DR.. Lapponi decided that
under such conditions physician
whom they would prefer was Prof:
Rossoni, pupil of DR.. Baccelli, and
his successor in the general clinic at
Rome. DR.. Rossoni arrived at the
Vaticna about 5 O'Clock, when long
consultation was held.
DR.. Lapponi remained at the Vatican
after the consultation of the physicians
was ended, but he came from the sick
chamber long enough to say few
words. The hopeful appearance which
he had shown early in the day had Ell
tirely disappeared. He said:
II fear there is no hope, no hope
whatever, and yet the end may not
come tonight. Although the patients

CHAPTER XVI.

That evening BrlOn st. Julien and Gou-
part conversed long and earnestly togeth.
,er. For some time the youth had enter
tained the thought OF proceeding at on Q
to New Orleans and seeking Louise but
finally he resolved to wait awhile, Mt
least until he had one more interview
with Lobois.
"That Lobois was the cause of her be-
Ing abducted have no longer any doubt"
said the marquis, after some remarks
had been made upon the subject.
''How can there be doubt?" returned
Goupart. Ellis story OF the rescue OF
the poor girl ls too improbable for belief,
unless he had some understanding with
the Indians"
''But do you not think that he found
her as he says" inquired the marquis,
earnestly.
"Of course l do. lie found her as he
says; but, Of course, the Indians under
stood that he was to meet them there
He took her there, aud he must have
used some terrible power to make her
marry him."
st. Denis went to his chamber, and
went to his bed; but he could not sleep,
He lay with his hands clasped over his
brow, and ever and anon deep, painful
groans would break from his lips. His
grief was deeper than he could tell, even
In his widest prayers, and his hopes were
all gone. The thing had come upon him
with a doubly crushing force, for 1t had
found his soul already bowed down be-
meath the weight of fear He could have
known that Louise had died, for then he
might have wept awhile, apd then calm
ly knelt down and prayed. But now even
that sad and melancholy boon was de-
MED him. Like the frantic mother who

willie's Perplexity.

When Willie came home last night he
was more convinced Of the uselessness
of schools than he ever was before,
says the Buffalo Express. Asked the
nature Of his latest trouble, he ex-
planned that postpone" had been one
of the words in the spelling lesson Of
the day. The teached had directed the
pupils to write sentence in which the
special word should appear.
Along with others, Willie announced
that he did not know the meaning of
the word, and so could not use 1t in a
sentence. The teacher explained that It
meant delay" or put off," and, en-
couraged the youngsters to try. VIII
lies thoughts were on .pleasanter
things than school, and his made-t to-or-
der sentence was:
Boys postpone their clothes when
they go in swimming"

PRESIDENT IN CHICAGO.

With Mosroe Doctrine.


Chicago. April 3.--Six thousand in a
hall, the seating capacity OF which Ia
but 5000, gave encouragement to Pres
ident Roosevelt when he stepped upon
the stage Of the Auditorium last night.
The great building has held many a
throng, but never one that was more
unstinted In It's applause for any man
than the crowd that filled It last night.
From-the first floor to the roof II was

Ing to the hall from the lower floor
were jammed with hundreds OF men
who we're utterly unable to hear a
word OF the Presidents address.
The following are few extracts
from the address, giving expression
to the sentiments of the President on
these questions:
Our duty to ourselves and to the
weaker republics who are our neigh
bors requires us 10 see that none Of
the great military powers from across
the seas shall encreach upon the terri
tory Of the American republics or ac-
quire control theTeover.
Both powers (Great Britain and
Germany assured US in explicit terms
that there was not the slightest inten-
ton on their part TO violate the prin-
ciples Of the Monroe Doctrine. and this
assurance was kept with an honorable
good faith.
The Monroe Doctrine Is not inter
national law. and this is not necessary
as long as 1t remains a cardinal feat
ure OF our foreign policy and as long
as we possess both the will and the
strength to make It effective.
If the American Nation will speak
softly and yet build, and keep at a
pitch Of the highest training, a thor
oughly efficient navy, the Monroe Doc
trine win go far.
1T is too late to prepare for war
when war has come. and If we only
prepare sufficiently, no war will ever
come"

in all department All OF the hotels are

There is every indication that The
strike will be hard fought before one
side or the other gives in. The hotel
proprietors declare that the demands
made by the men are unreasonable,
and the unions claim to have not been
fairly treated by the proprietors, in
that the pIopIietors agreed to treat as
individuals with the unions, and have
not done so
The proprietors have agreed to sub
nit nearly every point at issue to ar
bitration, but to this the unions will
not consent They
Insist That Their Demands
for higher wages and shorter hours be
granted before they will arbitrate any
thing, and insist also upon the abso-
lutte recognition Of the union. To this
latter demand the proprietors say they
will never agree so long as the strikers
maintain their present attitude. The
proprietors have expressed a willing
ness to arbitrate this proposition also,
but the men will not recede from the
position assumed The unions also
demand that the members of the notel
keepers association come to the Off
GERS of the employes' organization as
individuals and-not as members of any
association.
The strikers made efforts yesterday
to divert supplies. fro1n the hotels, but
were not successful to any consider
able extent. Last night pickets sur
rounded every hotel in which a strike
has been declared, andIetails of police
patrolled the sidewalks around the
buildings. So far there has not been
the slightest evidence Of disorder.
