Leo XIII and the italian Government.
The great question in the minds OF all
men after the election Of the new pope bore
on his policy toward the Italian govern
ment. His predecessor, Plus TX, lad never
given up the claim to the temporal power
Of which he had been deprived, and 1t was
soon seen that Leo XIII insisted as strongly
on his rights as q temporal sovereign. In
the first encyclical letter this position was
taken in the plainest possible way. The
pope also renewed the protests which Car
dinal Pecci had made against the civil mar.
riage. which had become the law of the land
From the first the new pontiff saw that
the field of influence open to him was that

To them Leo XIII spoke strongly, outlining
the policy they sh ,uld take. In September
of that year he, with marked liberality.
threw open to the scholars of the world the
treasures of the library of the Vatican. He
wrote the encyclical letter on socialism in
1878, letter which did much to win Prince
Bismarck, and during 1879 he established
the council of education for Rome.
In 1880 the celebration of the 25th ami

car of Russia, gave Leo XIII an opportu

claiming solemn office of honor to the
memory of the Russian saints, Cyril and

When Francis Jeffrey's hand fell from
his forehead and he turned to face the as

arose in every breast at sight Of his face,
which, II not open In its expression, was at
least surcharged with the deepest misery.
In a flash the scene took on new meaning.
Many remembered that less than month
before his eye had been joyous and his
figure a conspicuous one among the favored
sons of fortune. And now he stood in
sight of a crowd drawn together mainly
by curiosity, to explain best he might

bride of a fortnight had sought death

at some sacrifice to his pride would yet be
able to explain whatever seemed dubious in

handwriting shows hurry and in places is
scarcely legible. Are you ready to swear
that these words were written by your
wife and by no other?''
Mr.. Jeffrey, with just slight contraction

BOYD'S AND VICINITY,
old-Time Hotel to Be Disposed of at
Public Sale,

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
BOYD'S. Md, June "a. 1903.
One of the Oldest hostelries in this coun-
ty and in this section Of the state is to be
sold next month at Clarksburg. four miles
from Boyd's. at trustees sale to the high
est bidder. This building has been standing
about a century. and was the scene of
numerous gatherings previous to the build
ing of the railroads through this county.
Some OF the most prominent persons OF
Maryland and the west. Ohio. Indiana, II.
linois. and those who In earlier days travel
ed the old National road. upon which the
hotel is situated, stopped there. it being a
convenient point at which to remain over
night.
William Dronenburg. one of the oldest in
habitants of Clarksburg, states that way
back in the forties Stephen Lewis ran the
inn. He was followed by Elizabeth Cum
mings. Then the house passed, in success
sion. to the control of Mrs. Julia Cum
mings, Jack Baker Richard Thompson. DR..
r. H. Thompson, now of Baltimore, and
William E. Lewis. who Is at present in
charge Of the property. In the thirties and
until few years after the building of this
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
in 1873. the hotel was a market for the
produce Of the people for miles around.
1t is currently rumored that the demo-
cratic primaries in the county will not take
place until August 8. 1t is said this date
was agreed upon yesterday by the party
leaders. This is two weeks later than the
primaries have usually been held.
Farmers who are cutting their wheat re-
port that some will have an average OF
twenty-five bushels per acre. while many
will not average more than eighteen or
twenty bushels to the acre. The heads
seem to have filled nicely. but the straw Is
SO short in many cases 1t is hard to save
the grain. Hay is an utter failure and
very little will be cut.

morning for Pennsylvania and will go. at

reasons, no doubt. for thus trying this wit
ness. and when Coroner T. had reason for
anything 1t took more than the displeasure
of the crowd to deter him.
Mr.. Jeffrey, who had subdued whatever
Indignation he may have felt at this I'M
miStakable proof Of the coroner's intention
cost to his sensitiveness or pride, obeyed the
latter's command in firmer tones than ex-
0ected.
The lines he was then called upon to read
may bear repetition:
Il find that do not love you as I thought.
l cannot live knowing this to be so. Pray
God you may forgive me! VERONICA"
As the last word fell with little tremble
from Mr. Jeffrey's lips. the coroner re-
peated:
You still think these words were ad-
dressed to you by your wife; that in short
they contain an explanation of her death?"
II do"
There was sharpness in the tone. Mr.
jeffrey was feeling the prick. There was
agitation in it, too; an agitation he was
trying hard to keep down.
You have reason, then,' persisted the
coroner, for accepting this peculiar expla-
nation Of your wife's death; a death which,
in the Judgment Of most people, was of a
nature to call for the strongest provocation
possible"
MY wife was not herself Ny wife was
IN an overstrained and suffering condition.
For one SO nervously overwrought many
allowances must be made. She NAV have
been conscious of not responding fully to
my affection. That this feeling was strong
enough to induce her to take her life Is a
source OF unspeakable grief to me, but one
for which you must find explanation. as I
nave SO often said, in the terrors caused nv
the dread event at the Moore house. which
recalled old tragedies and Emphasized a
most unhappy family tradition"
The coroner paused a moment to LET theso
WORDS SINK into the ears Of the 1ury then
plunged Immediately into what might he

Why. II your wife's death caused vo,,
such intense grief, did you appear 80 re-

her very features are still strange to me.
You must acknowledge that a person of
such marked inexperience can hardly be

look she may have surprised upon my
face"
This attitude Of defiance 10 suddenly as
sumed had an effect he little realized. Miss
futile stirred for the first time behind her
veil. and Uncle David, from looking bored,
became suddenly quite attentive. These

full examination. Was the suffering merely
one of outraged delicacy? We felt justified
in doubling it, and looked forward, with
cruel curiosity, I admit, to the moment
when this renowned and universally ad-
mired beauty would be called to throw
aside her veil and reveal the highly praised
for the sake of one whose chief claims to
regard lay in her great wealth
But this moment was as yet far distant.
The coroner was man of method and his
plan was now to prove, as had been Gp-
parent to most of us from the first, that the
assumption of suicide on the part of Mrs.
Jeffrey was open to doubt. The commune
cation suggesting such an end to her trou-
bles was the strongest proof MIR. jeffrey
could bring forward that her death had
been the result of her own act. Conse-
Quently it was now the coroners business
to show that this communication was either
a forgery, or substitution, and that IL she
left some word in the book to which she
had in so peculiar a manner directed his
attention, 1t was not necessarily the one
bewailing her absence of love for him and
her consequent intention of seeking relief
from her disappointment in death.
Some hint of what the coroner contem.
plated had already escaped him in the per-
siStent and seemingly inconsequent Ques-
tons to which he had subjected this wit.
ness in reference to these very matters.
But the time had now come for a mora
direct attack, and the interest rose cor
respondingly high, when the coroner, lift
ing again to sight the scrap of paper con-
tanning the few piteouS lines so often
quoted, asked of the now anxious and agi-
tated witness, If he had ever noticed any
similarity between the handwriting of his
wife and that of Miss futile.
An indignant MOI was about to pass
his lips, when he suddenly checked himself
and said more mildly: There may have
been a similarity: l hardly know have
seen too little of Miss Tuttles hand to
Judge"
This occasioned a diversion. Specimens
Of Miss Tuttle's handwriting were pro-
duced. which. after having been dulv
proved, were passed down to the jury along
with the communication professedly signed
by Mrs. Jeffrey. The grunts of astonish-
ment which ensued as the knowing heals
drew near over these several papers caused
Mr.. Jeffrey to flush and finally to cry out
with startling emphasis:
Il know that those words were written
by my WIFE,"
But when the coroner asked him his rea-
sons for this conviction. he could. or would
not state them.
II have said" he stolidly repeated: and
that was all.
The coroner made no comment, but when.
after some further inquiry, which added
little to the general knowledge. he dis
missed Mr.. Jeffrey and recalled Loretta,
there was that in his tone which warned
US that the really serious portion OF the
days examination was about 70 begin.
