matters worse.
His holiness insisted this morning or

dred Venetidns who sojourned to Rome
for the coronation. When the services
began the air was Vitiated with u tenn
perature of 80 degrees. Pope Plus was
seen to grow paler and paler and final
ly. throwing out his hands, he would
have fallen had not a private chaplain
caught him. The physicians We're called
and restored the pope to consciousness
He was then taken to his apartments
At noon he was reported almost
recovered.
Although the pope was much better
this afternoon. Dr. Lapponi, who visited
him again, thought it more prudent fol
his holiness not to leave his apart
