HOLLYWOOD PALACE NOT
A FIT RESIDENCE

LONDON, March 11.-If all stories
are true Edinburgh has received a
stunning blow. Its ancient palace of
Holyrood, once the home of Scottish
royalty and the scene of SO much STIR
ring history is now reported to have
been pronounced, after examination,
no safe residence for the king and
queen.
Holyrood lies in the Valley of
Queens Park. between Salisbury
Craigs and Calton Hill. at the lower
end of the oldest and most
unsanitary part of Edinburgh, called
Cowgate. OF late years tourists have
been puzzled by curious odors which
have regaled their noses when wester.
ly winds blew toward Holyrood. Ex-
pert Investigators have now apparent
ly discovered the cause so Holyrood
is condemned as a royal residence.
Truth says that if it is undesirable
for the king and queen to- stay at Holy
rood, the Duke of Beuclleuch will place
Dalkeith Place at their disposal, thus
following the example of his father.
who received George " at Dalkeith in
1922, and Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert in 1912.
The Glasgow Herald remarks that
this is a day for Edinburgh worse even
than any that she has suffered, due to
consequences that may follow it. 1t
is not impossible that one result may
be the serious abridgement of Edin-
burgh's one national pageant. the an

Paroxysm of Choking Ensues Dur
ing Which the Soul Of Leo Takes
Flight.

Rome, July 21.-The final scene in
Pope Leo's death chamber yesterday
was profoundly impressive. The pope's
death having been expected since
noon, his death was surrounded by
practically all the members of the sa-
cred college now in Rome and the
whole papal court, while the pOntiff's
nephews remained in the papal library
until they received word from the doc
tors which announced that his last ex-
piring breath was approaching. Then
they moved silently within the death
chamber, some standing, some kneei-
ing, all awaiting the awful moment OF
dissolution.
In the ante-chamber had assembled
nigh ecclesiastics, members of the dip
lomatic corps and representatives of
papal aristocracy, awaiting the an
nouncement that the final moment had
come.
Profound silence reigned in the
pope's bedroom, only broken by the
sobs of the faithful valet, Pho Contra,
or murmurej prayers of Mgr. Pifferi,
papal confessor, himself 81 years of
age, who had to be assisted 10 the bed

Following them came the noble
guards, to watch over the pontih's re-
mains, the brilliancy of their uniforms
contrasting strikingly with the sombre
attire Of the quantity CARRIED monks
and the solemn dignity Of the chamber
itself. The only sound heard was the
measured chanting of the penitence,
by a group of monks kneeling beside
the couch of death. Two noble guards
took up positions at the foot Of the
couch and stood by, rigid and silent as
statues, with swords down-pointing TO
the floor.
The Chamber of Death.
The death chamber preserved much
the same appearance as it did at the
time Of the final illness of the pope

vatican, the apartments fronting the
splendid piazza OF ST. Peters and the
window Of the room commanding a
view of the tall obelisks, with Rome
stretching off beyond the Tiber. Across
the middle of the room hang heavy
draperies, partly concealing the bed on
which lay the silent form of the dead
pontiff. By the side of the low bed
burned a number of candles and from
above looked down a picture Of the
madonna, with the infant Christ in her
arms. Leo's desk was closed, but

side. Softly he recited prayers for the
dying, the pontiff at one moment ap-
pearing to follow as though conscious
of what was transporting, but he could
not speak. Then the dying pope MUIR

Pulse Grows Weaker.
DR.. Lapponi, who almost constantly
had his fingers On the pope's pulse,
felt it grow rapidly weaker and weak
er, and at the same time the pontiff's
extremities began TO get cold, his lips
became blue, his eyes sank more deep
ly into the head, his breathing became
even more difficult and there were
strange ratings in his throat.
Attempts to Rise.
Finally the pope was asked to bless
his nephews and all others present.
He attempted TO raise himself and the
extreme emaciation of his person, COW
cred with a fine night shirt, was rem
dered more pronounced by the sur
roundings. The portiers dividing the
door were drawn back to the utmost to
admit as much air as possible, while
the light filtering through the green
shades of the window rendered his
sunken eyes and shrunken features alb
solutely CHASTITY. 1t was a most sol
emn moment. The head of the pontiff,
ell u~hf flr
than the fringe of silver, rising above
a crimson coverlet, his hand raised in
the familiar gesture of benediction, the
kneeling assemblage being too earnest
ly absorbed in deep affection, venera-
ton and weeping, to even make a
movement. The doctors again exam
ined the dying holy father, and this
time found that he was at the extreme
limit OF his powers of respiration. His
eyes began to become dull and clouded
and Leo XIII entered into the real
agony of death, which was recognized
by all present kneeling.
The last conscious act of the pOntiff
was TO turn his eyes toward the great
crucifx on the wall, after which he
suffered from a paroxysm of choking,
during which he passed away.
Sad News Spreads Fast.
Outside of the death chamber expec-
tation was intense, but the sight of the
sorrowing faces Of those leaving the
room was sufficient without words TO
spread the sad news, which was not
long in spreading throughout Rome.
The occurrences in the death chamber
Immediately following the pope's de
mise were of impressive solemnity.
Couriers had been despatched to sum-
mon those who are delegated to per.
form the first religious Office toward
the dead pope and soon the chanting
of the Franciscan monks was heard as
two by two. in coarse brown habits and
with sandaled feet, they proceeded TO
the room in which Leo lay dead. From
time immemorial the Franciscans have
been the penitentiaries of st. Peters.
