THE LAST HOURS OF LEO.
They Were Succession of Lucid In- tervaIs and CoIlapses.

They Were a Succession of Lucid In-
 tervaIs and Coilapses.
 Rome. July 20.-Although this morn ing's bulletin gave the impression that the pope's condition was some what ameliorated, in reality the doc tors did not think so. They consid- cred that the lowering of the pulse and the diminution of the respiration were due to great prostration of the whole organism, which was steadily augmenting, notwithstanding the fact that he at times took a little nourishment. The pope continued now and them to mutter phrases, al- though unconscious, his mind evil dently returning to the events which impressed him most before his ill ness began. At one moment he was feeling about with his hands and nov ing his head from side to side, trying to lift himself, while he murmured: What crowNs! what devotion. My dear people. ."N Then falling back in- ertly signing; yThe weight of these -rehes. can I hoN out until the end ?"
 This was followed by by scraps Of cf Latin verses and prayers, and then would come an interval of silence, broken by another moment of energy, in which the pope cried: "The con sistory is over. They can reproach me no longer. How many faces of all kinds. The church is triumphing," {" and so on over and over again.
 A wonderful thing about Pope Leo was that every time his mind became clear he seemed to grasp the fact that 1t might be the last and he made the highest use of it. When, during the alarming crisis about noon, he

\ AOB HELD AT BAY.
Frederick Kriselmeyer Saved From the Vengeance of a Mob in
 Brooklyn by Police.
RAD SHOT HIS WIFE AND STEPDAUGHTER
The Latter Thought to Be Fatally Wounded, Hut Mrs. KriseImeyer Will Probably Recoverable Mur- derous Deeds Were Prompted by Jealousy.

New York, July 21.-Only by draw ing their revolvers and threatening to shoot to kill did several Brooklyn po- lice prevent a mob from wreaking vengeance on Frederick Kriselmeyer after he had shot his wife and his stepdaughter. Up to the doors of the Hamburg Avenue police station, the clamoring mob went crying "lynch him." and it was necessary to call out the reserves. Kriselmeyer was so badly bcaten before the po icemen res cued him that it was necessary to call an ambulance.
 Although he is 60 years old, Krisel- meyer was driven to the shooting by jealousy of his wife, whom he mar ried three years ago, and who is 54 years old. She owns the house in which they lived, and in the station house he asserted that she had been receiving the attentions of wealthy butcher for some months, and that he saw her and her daughter with this man just before the shooting.
 In the hospital, suffering from three bullet wounds, his Wife said, Tn reply to his assertions, that he was crazy. The shooting followed a quarrel, dur ing which Kriselmeyer vas reminded that he did not own the house. The wife probably will recover, but it is thought the daughter is fatally wounded.
 Returning from the house after the shooting, Kriselmeyer was surrounded by neighbors, who beat him down. He escaped, but was again surround ed, policeman finally reached his side, and revolver in hand, held the mob back until aid was secured.
 The crowd followed, however, until the prisoner had been safely locked up

A CHURCHMAN'S TRIBUTE.
Archbishop Ireland Pays Tribute to
 the Departed PomtiR.

Archbishop Ireland Pays Tribute to
 the Departed PontiT.
 St. Paul, Minn., July 2o.-Upon the receipt of news of death of the pope, Archbishop Ireland paid the following tribute to the dead prelate:
 Tn Leo truly great and good man passes from earth. The extraordi- nary, the unparalleled interest with which the world has, the last fort night, held vigil around the vatican where the old hero battled dramati- cally with grim death, is the magnifi- celAt tribute to Leo XIII. In the death of Leo humanity realizes that an orb of light, such as is seldom seen to dominate the high skies of it's moral and intellectual Armament, has fallen, making a mighty void which soon again may not be filled. Great and good Leo truly was, fashioned so by nature and by grace divine. What a mind! loftiest 1t was in vision reach ing out to vastest horizons, soaring upward to highest regions of thought and truth. And how quick in action that mind of Leo was, how piercing his glance. Rapidly as he conversed he would travel from literature to sci ence and art, from theology to di- plomacy-everywhe the manifest master, everywhere the cultured scholar. And then he was ambitious to put to profit his talents, ambitious to do great things. When he ascend ed the pontifcal throne he resolved that, so far as opportunity came, his would be a historic pontiicate, and to that end he worked conscientiously during his life. He lived and worked purely for God and men. He met kings and peasants, men of highest social rank and of lowest; all bowed before his graciousness and whispered to him words of affection and deyo- ton.
 There is no other post of honor and duty so elevated, so sublime as the Roman pontifcate. the treasury of centuries of inspirations, the worlds chair of moral authority, ruling di- rectly two hundred and fifty millions, of every tribe and every nation, ruling Inulfeclly py Ille SHenC h1e PlesASe of its name and power, by the vast spiritual force of it's life and teach ings, entirely humanity. In to that pontifcate Leo entered; in it he reigned as only two of his predeces- sors resigned, quarter of a century, leaving posterity to say, as he closes the last pages of his record, that in him the Catholic church has had one of the most wondrous of her won drous sovereigns, and humanity one of it's noblest thinkers and highest ex- emplars of fidelity to God-given duty.

was lying on his bed, perfectly mo- tionless, while around him knelt the cardinals and other members of the papal court, praying and not know ing whether the pope was not already dead, without any preliminary rest lessness, the pontitf opened his eyes, which fell on Cardinal Oreglia, who was at his side, and said solemnly: 'To your eminence, who will so soon seize the reins of supreme power, confide the churches in these difficfitt times"
 Then Mgr. Bisleti, the master of the chamber, asked for the pope's bene. diction for the court, which the pope granted, adding: Be this my last greeting"
 Then the pontiff gave his hand to kiss to the cardinals present, who were 0reglia, Rampolla, Vannutelh. Dolla Yolpe and Wives Y Tuto.
 Dr. Lapponi, profiting by the ami nation, administered restoratives, whereupon the patient sank back as suddenly as he had revived.
 The words the pope addressed to Cardinal Oreglia, which proved to be his last utterance,. are much com mented upon, and it is wondered whether the intention of the pope was to indicate Cardinal Oreglia as his successor. They will certainly have considerable weight in the deci- sion of the cardinals who will take part in the conclave.

THE OFFICIAL PROCEDURE.
The Course to Be Pursued By the
 PapaI Delegate, Mgr. FaIcOniO.


 Washington, July 20.-As soon as Mgr. Falconio, the papal delegate here, receives the official announce ment of the pope's death he will issue an address to the bishops under his jurisdiction, which include all those in the United States.
 Informally this will be made, first through the press as the most prompt manner of communicating the sad in- telligence, to be followed by mail ad- vices as quickly as these can be pre- pared. The bishops, in turn, will is sue circulars to the churches of their dioceses announcing the pope's death and indicating the character of serv- ices to be held. The bishops will eel cbrate pontifical mass, probably in the cathedrals of their diocese, while funeral masses will be said in all Catholic churches. MT. Falconio al- so will send message of condolence to Cardinal Rampolla, the papal sec retary of state.
 After the interment of the pope prayers will be held in the Catholic churches asking that divine guidance may attend the labors of the consist ory in their election of q successor to Leo NH.
