THE FATEFUL DAY
Of Carn1eiite Madonna Passes and the
Pope Still Lives.

Rome, July 16-The fateful day of
the Carmelite Madonna on which Pope
Leo had a premonition he would die
has arrived. Early this morning, His
Holiness aWoke and Immediately began
repeating prayers to the Madonna,
speaking with such fervor that his val
ct, Contra, hurried from an adjoining
room. Pope Leo hearing Contra s
voice, said: ooh, Pho, your task is
nearly done. Today is the fete of the
Carmelite Madonna"
Still later with the same idea in
mind, the Pope asked for one of his
private secretaries, Monsignor Mar
zolin, to have him say mass in the
chapel, next to his bed room with the
door between the two apartments Open
In the middle of the mass Pope Leo
received the communion like one who
really saw visions of coming bliss.
When DR.. MazZoni visited the Pom
tiff, this morning, the latter said the
past night had been one of the worst
the Pope had experienced. He spoke
of the oppression on his chest: the diff
ficulty in breathing and the uncon-
trollable restlessness, giving him in
fact no peace in any position.
DR.. LappOni said the Pope had called
for him very often during the night
taking frequent reStoratiVeS, especial
ly meat broth. orangeade and tama-
rind water. He felt better, however,
after the celebration of mass. as the
communion had calmed him. In fact
the doctors proceeded with a thorough
examination of his thoraX Without fa-
tiguing him too much. They found the
liquid in the pleura augmented, but not

THE OLDEST BAND.
Marine Band Celebrates 105th Annis
versary of Its Organization.

Washington, July 16.-The members of
the United States Marine Band held an
informal celebration at the barracks in
honor of the 105th anniversary of the Or
ganization of the band. Lieutenant San
lehman opened the program with a toast
to the memory of President John Adams,
who on July II, 179S. approved the act
providing for a drum corps for the ma
rines," which had been passed by Con-
gress the day before. He then gave an
outline of the history of the band, and
afterward the musicians played a number
of well known productions beginning with
Hail Columbia which was composed
for and played by the band in 1903.
The Marine Band is the oldest in the
country, and has always been attached to
the headquarters of the marine corps in
Washington. 1t has taken no part In the
wars of this country. and, indeed. has
never left the capital except by official
music at all White House entertainments
Of Importance and at like affairs of state.
1t was under the leadership OF Francis
Seals, one of the Italian musicians who
that the concerts in the White House
were begun. At one of these concerts the
band played '"The Mocking Bird" which
had been arranged and dedicated by Scale
Buchanan's niece. The popularity of this
tune prompted Congress to increase the
membership and prestige of the organiza-
ton. Scala remained at the head Of the
band throughout the Civil War, and died
only two months ago.
Another well known leader of the band
was John Philip Sousa, who resigned the
leadership to head the organization which
is now travelling in Europe. The present
leader, Lieutenant William e. Santelman.
was appointed in 1898, and year later
President Mckinley signed the act which
gave the leader Of the band the rank
and emouments of an officer serving In
the field" in further recognition of the
excellence of the organization.
