Freeman is losing popularity with the

to be of much benefit. He loses most
of the games he pitches, is not good
with the stick, and does very little

A WOMAN SUICIDES

Leila Williams Induces Her Mother to
Leave Home and Fires
Shot.
DOCTORS SAY SHE CAN'T LIVE

Leila Williams. ooaored, aged q
years, OF $50 South Tenth street, shot
herself In the left side this mornins
about O'Clock, it is supposed, with
suicidal intent. with a 3s-calibre re
volver and IL is believed will die.
She had bson in i'll health for some
time past and this morn ng told her
mother that an aunt, Lucy williams.
had sent for her. 1t 10 now supposed
this was ruse Of the girl's to get her
mother away from home.
A short time after leaving the house
the girls mother heard a pistol shot,
and rushing back found her dang liter
covered with blood. The gaping girl
claimed 1t was an accident. but her
mother does not think it was.
The bullet entered the left side and
was evidently intended for the heart,
but missed. It passed almost entirely
through the body being found beneath
the skin under the shoulder.
Drs. Robertson and Hoyer and Pend
ley attended her and 1t is thought she
will die. No cause for the attempt at
self destruction Is known save that of
continued i'll health.
This is one of the few instances Of
where Q colored person attempts sui

Rome, July l4-2:26 a.m.-"While
there is life there is hope" was all
the consolation DR.. Lapponi would
give in admitting that Pope Leo's con-
dition was very grave.
The pontiff suffered another relapse
and was this morning in a more criti.
cal condition than at any time since
the middle Of last week. The semi
comatose condition into which he fell
at midnight, and the confused state
of his heretofore lucid mind on his
awakening at On early hour this morn
ing. accompanied by still greater de-
preston than during yesterday were
regarded o. symptoms OF the gravest
nature, snd as pointing to an immi.
nent dissolution. Even in the early
evening medical opinion was less pes
simistic, and DR.. Mazzoni thought the
end was not in sight. He expressed
the belief that unless the disease took
an unexpected turn there was no rea.
sou to spprehend death for two OF
three days.
Some attribute the pontiff's extreme
weakness last night to the excessive
mental and physical efforts updertak-
an In ,aoa,y,ur x,s,,ox. and haax,pr
mass.
Never before had the patients weak
ness progressed as it did yesterday.
For the drst time since his sickness
the pope asked to have the shutters
almost 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 symptom OF
his weakening condition was the do.
NIFTY with which he took his medi-
oines and nourishment. Previously,
indeed during his whole life, Pope Leo
had been against the prescriptions OF
doctors OF anything which had the as.
pect of being forced on him. His feel.
ing Of fatigue and indifference was in
terpreted as a sign that his vitality
was fast diminishing.
Late last evening nine cardinals, in
GLIDING Satolli and Msrtinelli. were
admitted to the sick room, but the pope
could not even speak to them, merely
giving them his hand to kiss.
