RUMORS ABOUT POPE UHFOUHDED
Pontltf Greatly Annoyed over Stories
Of His m Health.

Rome, July 3. - kilograms from
abroad again started the rumor that
the Pope was ILL., The report was
quite unfounded, no change having
occurred in the Pontiff's health since
his recovery from the hemorrhoidal in
disposition which troubled him early
in June. The Pope certainly is not
what he was two years ago, but only
as regards his strength, which has
notably diminished owing to his ad-
vanced age and not on account Of any
specific illness. All the doctors who
have examined him agree that II moth
ing unforeseen happens he will live at
least another five years.
Pope Leo is growing daily more an
noyed over the false alarms regarding
his health. The other day when he
drove for the first time in the Vatican
gardens, he himself contrary to Gus
tom, ordered the fact to be published
in the official column of the Osserya-
tore Romano, adding: Tell the editor
TO spread the news through the Italian
and foreign press, so that the whole
world will thank God that we are
well today"
