A vigorous war is being made in GER
tain quarters against pictorial supple
ments to Sunday newspapers, aiming to
furnish entertainment for the young. 1t
is argued that these supplements are do
ing an immense amount of wrong in con-
tinually suggesting to the youthful mind
that it is shrewd and laudable thing to
play tricks on his elders and practice all
kinds of deviltry. Rudeness, coarseness,
bad manners, dishonesty and Stiffness are
a few of the things taught by these gaudy
attempts at entertainment. The great
metropolitan Sunday papers ought to be
able to provide their young readers with
more wholesome and serviceable reading.

Folsom, Cal, July ao.-A message was
received at the state prison this morning
stating that the posses under the direction
of Sheriff Keena of Placer, and Sheriff
Bosquitt of Eldorado had brush with
the fugitive convicts and number of
shots were exchanged, but so far as can
be learned nobody was shot.
The fugitives were located on Green

One posse was on one side of the creek
and the other posse OH the other side.
The posses were a considerable dis

convicts.
Both sides opened fire, but if any ef-
fective shots were made no reports of
it have been received here.
The convicts avoided a decisive en-
counter and are supposed to have made
circuit, and are now thought to be
working back in the direction OF Coloma.

Rome, July so.-Rome this morning was
the scene of one Of those dramatic con-
trasts which are now so characteristic Of
the eternal city.
While at the vatican in the sistine
chapel solemn requiem mass was being
intoned, with all the solemnity the Cath
olic church can impose, for the repose Of
the soul of Pope Leo KILL, the spiritual
monarch who claimed Rome as his capital,
another no less solemn requiem mass was
being celebrated in the magnificent pam
theon for the repose Of the soul of the late
King Humbert, the temporal monarch the
capital Of whose kingdom was Rome.
To Attend Annual Mass.
King Victor Emmanuel and his mother,
Dowager Queen Margaret, came here on
purpose TO attend the annual mass which is
celebrated on the anniversary of the assas-
sination Of King Humbert which occurred
three years ago.
The king drove 10 the pantheon, the well
known red liveries Of his coachnen and
footmen arousing much interest, and ar
rived there in time to meet Queen Mar
garet who was dressed in deepest black.
After tender embrace, mother and son
entered the pantheon, heard the mass and
placed wreaths on the tombs of King Hum
bert and King Victor Emmanuel. The en-
trance and exit of their majesties was wit
messed by large crowd.
Go to the Vatican.
At II o'clock the members OF the mu-
nicipality of Rome, with the exception of
few of their number who few days ago
went to the vatican to condole with the
camerlingo on Pope Leo's death, Gas repre-
sentatives of the clerical party of the city
government, visited the pantheon in a
body and placed wreaths on the tombs of
the two kings.
The second requiem mass in the sistine
chapel was termed the foreign mass.
Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Brest, cele-
brated mass, assisted by the foreign car
dinals Goosena, Gruscha and Perraud and
one Italian cardinal Di Pictro. The beau
tiful chapel overnowed as it did yesterday
with the faithful.
Provides Carriage.
The vatican, as a rule, provides a car
riage and horses for all the cardinals, and
all the horses are alike, black with long
tails, but the authorities were not prepared
for SO many cardinals and were obliged TO
give the last arrivals bay horses
From the estimates made, the cost to the
holy sec of the various ceremonies from the
death OF the pope TO the election OF his
successor. if it takes place within few
days, will be $4,000
