\ Bird That Cries Pa, Pa, Pa.

Bird That Cries Pa, Pa, Pa.
This bird is a native of South Afri-
ca. It is as large as a crow, with long
legs and bill, wings are dark green in
one light and golden in another. This
species is called hadeda. They live in
marshy places, and are easily tanned
to live in houses, and soon go in and
out as If they were a part Of the fami-
ly. You would think they we're a part
of It If you would hear them cry out
"RS4pa, pa" like an impatient child.
TRN of these birds were very fond of
the father of the family and followed
him about all day. On Sundays they
would actually walk into the church
with him, walk gracefully up the aisle
and take their stand near the minister,
who was their master. 1t was very
funny to see those solemn looking birds
standing there. 1t was lucky they did
not cry out Pa pa, pa" for the con-
gregatieh had already laughed quite
enou 4atio. The birds would not go away
units car minister was ready to go
also; then they followed him home.

LAWYERS viii Postpone Social Event
Until Close of Notwithstanding
Doing After Tomorrow.

The annual vacation of the lawyers
begins tomorrow. When the legal
lights close their offices this evening,
they are closed, or supposed to be, so
far as the transaction of law business
is concerned until the morning of Au-
gust Is.
A committee was appointed at the
last meeting Of the Bar Association
to arrange some kind OF social event
for this evening, a dinner, banquet,
reception or something Of that nature,
The committee was composed OF Col.
Frazer, Mr.. Lazzelle and Mr., Good
win. They have decided not to have
the affair at this time, but to postpone
it until the close of the vacation. This
was done on account of the CRITICAL
illness of Hon. Henry l.. Cox, father
Of the president OF the Association,
and for other reasons.
Most of the lawyers will spend their
vacation, or part OF it out of town.
Some of them are going to summer
resorts, others to their homes, but all
are rather reticent in making known
their plans for the outing.

Some attribute the pontiff's extreme
weakness tonight to the excessive
mental and physical efforts under
taken yesterday in receiving visitors,
hearing mass, etc.
Vitality Fast Diminishing.
Never before has the patients weak
ness progressed as it did yesterday,
For the first time since his illness the
pontiff asked to have the shutters al
most closed, as the light hurt his eyes,
and at the same time, contrary to his
custom, he begged to be left as quiet
as possible. Another noteworthy symp-
tom OF his weakening condition was
the docility with which he took his
medicine and nourishment. Previous
ly, indeed during his whole life Pope
Leo has been against the prescriptions
Of doctors or anything which has the
aspect of being forced upon him His
attitude OF fatigue and indifference
was taken as an indication that his
vitality was fast diminishing. Late
last evening nine cardinals, including
Satolli and Martinelli, were admitted
to the sick room, but the pope could
not even speak to them, merely giving
them his hand to kiss.
DR.. Rossoni was reported to have
said in an interview yesterday:
"The pope's pulse reaches 80 pulsa-
lions and over. Just calculate how
many times it has pulsated in SO years
and you understand that in his pres
ent condition all his organs and the
pulse must end by getting so tired
that they will stop forever"
At the American embassy it was
stated that no request. official or 9TH
erwise, had been received up to yes
terday for information regarding the
pope's condition. King Edward has
instructed the British ambassador, Sir
Francis BERTHE, to telegraph twice
daily the state OF his holiness
The Tribune last night printed a
statement that the pope's real ailment
was cancer of the liver. DR. Mazzoni
characterizes the statement as stupid
falsehood without an atom of founda-
ton.
