ing Illness.

Rome, July 15.-(l:20 a. m.)-ArnOthe
remarkable rally in Pope Lro 5 conI.,,On
occurred yesterday afternoon after a morn
ing in the course of which his Holiness
suffered spells of delirium and at times his
strength sank to the lowest ebb, and now
tonight be lies in no worse condition than
he was OH Monday evening, except for the
steady diminutlon of bis strength.
Monsgnor Bisleti, master of the cham
Der, visited the sick room just after mid
night, and on emerging stated that the
Pontiff's condition was unchanged. A
little later the Pope fell into a sleep which
it has just been announced is fairly tran
gull, although the patients respiration is
troublesome.
Yesterday his Holiness was charac-
teristically opposed to every medical theory
and insisted on getting out Of the bed on
which two hours previously the Pope him
self had made all preparations for death.
Unsatisfed with this exhibition of vitality,
he transacted private business and re-
ceived four cardinals with whom be talked
10 an animated way.
In fact, Pope Leo's record for yester-
day, little of whichlappeared in last nights
bulletin, would be incredible If 1t were
not confirmed by the doctors and the car
dinals present in The rick chamber
None seem more perplexed !han the
doctors themrelves DR.. Lspponi said
frankly: Il cannot imagine how the
Pope manages to keep alive"
According to the physicians, the Pom
tif may die at any moment, even in the
the midst of one of those extraordinary
intervals when his mind and body pre-
sent comparatively soud appearance.
All those around the patient have long
since ceased to hold definite opinions re.
garding the duration of the Pontif's
illness.

Booker Washington Urges Negroes to
Cultivate Both
AND EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL
Letter Read from Governor Terrill, and an
Address on the Part Of Mayor Howell
was Given by his Private See
retary.
EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL

Atlanta, Ca, July 13.-Booker T.
Washington tonight addressed an inn
menee audience in the Peoples Taberna-
Gle, the occasion being the thirIy'sixth
anniversary of the First Congregational
Church (colored).
A letter was read from Governor Ter
ril, and an address on behalf of Mayor
Howell was given by his private secretary.
Professor Washington spoke in part as
follows:
Every decent white man and negro in
the South is glad that the time will soon
be at an end when the negro will be popu-
lar with bis people in proportion as he
curses the white man, or when a white
man can be promoted to positions of trust
and honor in proportion as he has been
successful in unfairly treating the negro.
Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, when
on his dying bed uttered the words, God
bless all my people; white and black"
81 appreciate from the bottom of my
heart the tremendous and trying strain
that is now upon us. and how difficult it
is for us to make progress under such cir
cumstances; but believe that the momen'
tous period through which we are now
passing will draw to our support the good
will, the sympathy and helpful co'opera-
ton of larger numbers of white men in
the South, as well as in the North, if we
only exercise due patience, self control
and courage"

LYNCHING AS A CRIME.
Justice Brewer Says That Every Par
ticIpant is a Murderer.

Milwaukee, Wis, July l3-"Every
man who participates in the lynching or
the burning of negro is a murderer pure
and simple"
This opinion was given by Associate
Justice David G. Brewer Of the Supreme
Court of the United States, who is in the
city on private business.
"Of course" explained Justice Brewer,
"there may be extenuating circumstances
which would vary the degree of the crime,
but the principal participants in the crime
can be held by any court in the land for
murder in the same degree as if the crime
were committed by an individual.
"There is going to be a reaction against
the atrocious crimes with which the papers
have been filed. The fact that the peo-
ple are now interesting themselves In the
discussion of this problem makes manifest
the fact that there is tendency toward
a change. 1 expect that it will come soon
1 cannot say what form it will take' but
there will be an uprising of popular feeling
against the lynchings that will result IN
legislation or some other FORM"

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Richmond News-Leader reports the
future as discouraging for a settlement
of the street car strike and the unfortunate
conditions attending the strike.
The Pope has been reported in a dying
condition for more than week, but this
remarkable man at last reports was still
alive and exhibiting wonderful vitality.
The strike of the street car employees at
Richmond will cost the State Of Virgini a
not less than $4,000 Perhaps the cost
will be much more. There are great
many persons who think the situation
could have been better handled if the mil
itary had not been called out. The
civil power is much less expensive to
administer and much less obnoxious to the
masses of the people.
Booker T. Washington is evidently a
, man of fine character and splendid mental
poise. The constant efforts of partisan
press to goad him into imprudent express
ions have failed of accomplishment
When he speaks to bis people it is always
in a wise, conservative tone, evidencing
the fact that his heart and mind are filleC
with noble purpose to help his race anC
do bis country proper service.
At this distance from the scene o
trouble we may be in no position to form
an intelligent opinion about the strike o
the street car employees; but if our esteem
ed contemporary the Richmond Times
Dispatch will permit country newspape
editor to form and express an opinion W
will do so. From what we read in th
columns of the Richmond papers We ar
compelled to believe that the great mas
of the people of that city are in sympatb
with the strikers, We have seen no as
sertion, anywhere, that they are not. w
do not mean to cay that they are il
sympathy with the lawless acts that hav
been committed, but those condition
could not have been so long continued
the n1ass of the people had been friendl
to the street car company,

MUCH NEEDED
IMPROVEMENTS
TaZeWell Should have More and Better
Side Walks.
TOWN ABLE TO BUILD THEM.
They Will Not Only Be A Source OF Com
fort to the People But Will Add
Greatly to Value Of Property
in the Place.

The town of Tazewell, in most respects,
is more up.to-date than any town of Its
size that we know of. Strangers who come
here are impressed with and remark upon
this fact. They usually have but one
criticism to make. and that is upon the
character of the sidewalks. We are not
surprised at this criticism, as there are no
sidewalks in the town that are worthy Of
the name, except on portions OF the
main street. On the other streets there
are plank walks that are not only un-
slightly but that are uncomfortable and
in many places dangerous to pedestrians.
1t takes large slice of the towns reven-
ues to keep the plank walks In repair, and
they are never in repair.
We are glad to find that the sidewalk
question is now being agitated and tnat
there is strong sentiment among the tax
payers to make some frst.class improve
ments on this line. There is but one sc
rious side to the question, and that is the
ability of the town to make the necessary
expenditure. AS to its ample ability
there can be no question. The bonded
indebtedness is now only about $5,OOO,
and there are warrants of the town un'
paid and outstanding to the amount OF
Sl45O. With interest accumulated on bond
ETC., the entire indebtedness will amount
to $1,000. Last year the towns revenues
amounted to S., 400 and the taxable val
ues are constantly increasing, go, we may
confidently expect the revenues for the
next fiscal year to amount to $6,OOO.
We have no doubt but Tazeweu could
now sell four per cent bonds at par. II
the town should borrow and expend $5,OOO
in laying graniithic or some other KIND
of first-claes pavements, the interest on
that sum would be only 5000 annually at
four per cent. 1t takes over $oOO
annually to keep in very bad repair
the plank walks.
In the matter of making permanent,
useful improvements in town like ours,
all the citizens should stand together.
We know it is usual when such enterprises
are proposed for few persons to bitterly
oppose them. But we have never
known such Improvements, especially IN
the way of sidewalks and water supply
without those who were hostile to them
afterwards finding that they had been In
error.
From assurances given by those who
are familiar with the financial condition
of the town, we are confident that a con-
siderable amount of sidewalks can be built
and paid for without increasing the present
tax-rate. We have council composed oil
conservative men, thoroughly identi-
fed with the welfare of the town. II they
should propose to make improvements, as
above indicated, they should receive the
cordial support of the taxpayers and all
the citizens.

HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN YEARS.
Streets In Pensacola Tnrned Into Lakes
and Rivers.

Pensacola, Fla, July ll.-tor the past
forty.eight hours the rainfall in this city
has been heavier than before known Tor
many yeas. In three hours Yesterday
the official measurement WAS nearly three
inches, and this morning it wac fully equal
to that amount. As result, streets
have been turned into lakes and rivers.
In one instance, in the northern Por'
ton of the city, house occupied by COL
ored people was taken almost from lis
pillars, the water being five feet IN front
of the door. A police officer went TO the
place and rescued an old woman from the
house. and when he left the building the
furniture was floating about the rooms IN
about two feet of water.
Traffic, both on the street car lines and
railroads, has greatly retarded, caused by
sand being washed over the tracks in many
places. Several small washouts on the
Pensacola and Atlanta division OF the
Louisville and Nashville are also reported
delaying trains for several hours.
