LAST SAD SCENES
OF POPE'S BURIAL

Rome. July 2G.-Thc body of Pope
Leo was Inferred In st. Peters last
night. The strokes of the hammer
which resounded throughout the i'm
mensc dome OF the cathedral an
nounced to the earnest gathering In the
nave that Leo XIII. had been laid at
rest.
The sccre in the chapel was most re-
markably effective. The bier bearing
the body was received by Cardinal
Oreglia. II was placed in the center
backed By an altar with beautiful
image OF the Madonna. before which
were burning four immense candles In
silver STATS. Around the two sides of
the chapel. in the choir seats were thir-
ty-six cardinals.
The body was sprinklcd with holy
water. absolution was given and the
foot OF Leo XIII. was kissed for the last
time by Major Domo Cagiano. Master
OF the Chamber Bisletti and Count
Camillio Pecci.
The monsignors Of the basilica, aid
ed by the noble guard. then laid all
that was mortal of Leo XIII. in a
cypress coffin lined with red satin and
bearing on the cover an inlaid cross.
the entire sacred college and Prince
Colonna rising to their feet as last
tribute and sign of respect.
When the last supreme moment
came the heavy coffin. weighing in all
1.322 pounds. was rolled out OF the
chapel. preceded by mace bearers and
the choir singing as they went and fol-
lowed by the cardinals. among whom
the bowed figure OF Oreglia, the strong
upright Vannutelli brothers. the white
haired Agliardi and the immense
black browed Svampa were the most
conspicuous. Pulleys were attached to
the coffin and soon, to the strains of
the "Benedictus Dominis Deus Israel"
1t was hoisted into the stone sarcoph
agus above the door. where 1t will re-
main until the grateful cardinals ere
ated by the late pontiT shall erect
suitable tomb in asilica of st.
John Lateran, which IS chosen by the
Pope himself as his final resting place.
Thus was Pope Leo consigned to his
long rest.

Repsrtee In Church.

embarrassments. DIR. David is a prom
inent man in a little far Western
church. and he generally takes n quiet

man. who likes to "exhort" after the
preacher has concluded his remarks.
Not long ago. at a night service. Sis
ter Sarah arose and discoursed at
great length. The listeners became
visibly restive. DR.. David also arose
and said, bluntly:
"Sister Sarah, II would be an i'm.

any longer"
With flashing eyes Sister Sarah re.
torted:
"'Taint no impcrsition on you, doc.

hands, said benignly: Let us be dis

A Sona Of the Weeds.

Here's n cheer to the weeds up-springi.is
And a song for deeds they do:
with their flags to the world out-ninging,
They stand ready to fight 1t through;
And their dare is as pert and singing
As their courage Is proven true.
They are builded for war and trouble,
And will neither lead nor drive:
Nov them down to "A field or stubble,
And IL makes them but more alive:
Cut In twain. and their numbers double,
And double, and double, and thrive.
They laugh at plowshare cleaning.
And they tauntingly smile at the hoe:
They lie down. 1t seems, past redeemlng,
e But In truth go both ends may grow;
1t takes doing OF deeds, not dreaming.
Not to win, but keep up with this foe.
Yes, a foe are the weeds worth singing,
q And n foe for the strongest arms,
And for hearts whereto hope Is clinging.
And for love that cheers on and charfns

ARRESTS CAUSE
PANIC AT PANAMA

Panama. Colombia. July c6.-Not
sincc the days OF the last revolution.
when an attack upon the city by the
Liberals was feared. has there been
such panic In Panama as occurred
last night. Shortly after 8 o'clock the

eral party on the is,hums. was visited
by officers OF the general stan of the
army, who destroyed yesterdays edi-
tion OF the newspaper. One of the di-
rector was slightly wounded. but
managed to escape.
The news spread rapidly. In the San
tn Anas neighborhood. where most Of
the Liberals reside. sentiment rose to
a high pitch and a few of the promi-
nent people counselled- retaliation.
They took no action, however.
The next event came like bomb
shell. A company OF soldiers. appar-
entity under the orders of General
Vasquez Cobos, commander Of the ma
tional forces. surrounded the residence
Of Governor Nuts, but the governor
and his wife. who is an American wom-
an. having been warned few min
utes before the arrival of the troops,
succeeded in escaping.
General Huertas. commander of the
battalion of Colombia, when he learned
of the Ell Lapiz incident. repaired to
headquarters, where he found General
Cobos. According to current reports,
the latter ordered General Huertas to
remain in quarters.
Exactly what has taken place is un-
known, but 1t is said that DR.. Aristides
Arizona. secretary of the government;
Fernnndino Arrange, chief of police. and
Etram Navin. member of the depart
ment superior tribunal of justice, are
under arrest. the last named for trying
to argue with General Cobos on the le-
gality of his action.
