THE POPE DROWSY.

Rome, July Is, IL :35 A. M.-The
official news received by the As.
sociated Press at the Vitican dur
ing the past twenty-four hours
states that in his delirium the Pope
spoke especially of piIgrimages aud
recltlng disconnectedly Latin
verses. He often seemed panic
stricken, crying to DR.. Lapponi,
his valet, Contra, and Mgr. Angel,
one of his secretaries: "Where
are yous Do not abandon me.
The delirium ceased at 4
O'Clock p. H., when His holiness
revived. Having eaten nothing
throughout the day, he was then
given four spoonsful Of meat broth
and masticated some beef without
swallowing it.
From midnight up to S O'Clock
this morning the Pontiff was con-
stantly drowsy. The urine has be-
come less in quantity, Pope Leo in
the past twenty-four hours having
passed 80 cubic centimetcrs. The
liquid in the pleura does not show
much tendency to gather, and the
doctors think it likely the end will
come through exhaustion and
anemia instead Of result of car
lilac paralysis.

was among the many seekers after fortune
who madr the big race one line day in

together with the severe beet, gave him
very severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and along in

A HEALTH POLICY

| The system is, from natural
causes, debilitated or rundown
both in the spring and fall. The
seasons changes are always a tax
on the human organism. The
blood becomes impure in the
spring, and vitality lags in the fall.
A little care, a little assistance,
and nature will do the rest, as it is
always trying to maintain health.
Frequently the weakest organ will
show the most disorder, and this
'ften leads to wrong treatment.
For the de bilitated conditions
# spring or fall, or any other
sime, for that matter, the right
thing to do is to build up the
whole system. It is not your stom-
;,ch, or liver, or nerves alone that
,ause the trouble; you are weak

developments of the day before. 1t
was apparent from the stand further
taken by the Tank Company that it's
opening sally was more to let all
bears understand that it was lin
town." as it were, and may be relied
upon to step into the market at the
proper time as buyer. This may
bring more life into the market, and
certainly promises keener competition
than previously existed. Much talk
has been going the rounds about
combination among the exporters,
which is yet to be proved. However
this may be, if the exporters did not
watch each other before, they will
now have to watch closely the OPP
erations of the Tank Company. Those
operating for it say they are likely to
step. in at any time, so that exporters
will find it necessary to watch the
company's operations. To-day's re-

ed to be thought that the foods were
not likely to reach the cotton coun-
try in sufficient volume to work any
material injuries. Exports for the day
were heavy, amounting to 1925 bales,
but the port receipts turned out heav-
Ter than originally estimated, being 81
604 bales, against 1861 bales last year,
while the ipto-sight for the week was
estimated at around $1,000 sbales,
against $4,000 last season. The better
accounts from the dry goods trade
had little influence in view of the low
price at which the finished product
is selling compared with the Nice
of cotton and it was argued that while
the government report of tomorrow
will probably reflect known conditions
the present level of prices discounts
the demand.
The spot markets of the country also.
while firm, show little business, and
the spot sales in Liverpool amounted
to only $4,000 bales. Influenced by
these and possibly encouraged by the
Improvement over the conditions of
last week noted in the weekly weather
bureau the market ruled easy all the
afternoon, being finally barely steady
at practically the lowest of the ses-
sion and net unchanged to points
lower. Total sales futures estimated
at 10000 bales.

The turpentine market was less ac-

steady and sufficient to absorb the en-
tire of the offerings. The closing was
frm at 451sc. The Tank Company was
not in the market during the day. 1t

tractive figure
Much attention has been conferred in
the market since the competition for
the offerings have become keener, and
the course of the market henceforth
will be watched by the trade here and
elsewhere. BY none will it be followed
more than the operator, who expects a
higher than the present price for his
product. The feeling seems to be IA
vorable to the market. 1t is admitted
much will depend upon the receipts
from now on, Notwithstanding the
prospects are for a decrease in last
years production owing to the unfa-
