the city streets yesterday was a path

trophe at Wigginsville, when an eX-
plosion of tons of nitro glycerine,

Lowell, July 31.-The death roll
of Wednesdays disaster has not been
Augmented since yesterday. The
number of victims is placed at twenty
one. There are three cases in St.
Johns Hospital in which fatal results
are feared. Although there has been
no solicitation for relief fund as yet,
some offers of assistance are already
coming III. Among donations thus
far offered is one of 81, 000 from J, @.

While no official investigation into
the cause and responsibility for the

will take part in the proceedings have
made careful inspection of the scene.

NEW POPE CHOSEN.

Rome, Aug. 4.-CardInal Joseph
Sarto, Patriarch of Venice has been
elected Pope. The new pontiff has
chosen the name of Plus X.
The crowd of people around st. Pc
ter's this morning watching the stove
pipe was the largest gathered there
since the conclave began. 1t is esti-
mated that there were at least IL, 900
present. When the officials of the gov
eminent saw the enormous streams OF
people making their way toward St.
PETERS it was decided to increase the
number of troops in order to suppress
any probability of disorder such as
whistling or cat calls should this
mornings ballot be without result.
Cardinal Hocero of Spain, who was
reported dying yesterday, passed a
fairly good night but his condition
continues very grave.
Cardinal Macchi, secretary of Apos-
tolic briefs, appeared ON the outside
balcony of the Vatican at II. 40 O'Clock
this morning and announced to the
assembled multitude that the labors
of the conclave had ended in selecting
Cardinal Sarto as the next Pope. Five
minutes later the new ponti9 appeared
on the inside of the Vatican and blessed
the people. SzSl

The CONCLA We.

Rome, July 81. The couclave which
will elect successor to Pope Leo XIII
began today. The cardinals entered
tory to the voluntary imprisonment un-
til new Pope is elected. The first
ceremony of the conclave proper was
in Pauline chapel by Cardinal Oreglia.
Monsignor Sardi pronounced the SER
mon in which he exhorted the mem.
bers of the college of cardinals to
make a prompt and holy election,
choosing from among them the most
worthy and sublime dignitary as
Christ's vicar on earth. After the
sermon the Sistine choir sang 'Veni
Creator" and then the conclavists
marched in procession to the royal
hall. They then entered Sistine chapel
where bulls regulating the. conclave
were read and oaths of secrecy admin
istered. Prince Chini as hereditary
marshal of the conclave cleared the
Vatican of all except those permitted
to enter the conclave while the cardi-
nal camerlengo, with three other car
dinals, inspected the doors and win
dows to see that all was secure. Fin
ally when all was found IN order
Oreglia locked the last door upon the
inside, while Prince Cnini locked it
on the outside and stationed himself
there to prevent the approach of all
unauthorized persons.
The session this evening will be
spent in an informal discussion. To-
morrow morning the first ballot for a
Pope will be taken.

SERMON ON THE POPE.

Father W. J O'Sullivan preached
a powerful sermon in ST. Augustine's
church on Sunday evening, 1t was
announced at the time of the Requiem
Mass for the repose of the soul of
Pope Leo, that the subject of the
Sunday evening service would be the

when He gave instructions to the
twelve apostles. The text of the
sermon was, Thou art Peter and

against it; and am with you always

Father O'Sullivan spoke of the
grief felt by the whole world, Catho-

humanity. He spoke of Peter. and

he was elected to that high office, and
which had continued for twenty five
years, until his death only few days

NO ST RIKE IMMINENT.

Pottsville. Penn, Aug.4 - High
officials of the United Mine Workers
say that, though there may be serious
trouble at the meeting of the concili-
alton board here next Thursday, there
will be no general anthracite strike
before the Presidential campaign, if
then.
The miners are becoming very i'm
patient over the apparent inability of
the Cancellation board to settle the
differences that exist, but they realize
that even if the questions now pend
ing fail of solution, this is not good
time to strike. During presidential
year, according to their expectations,
political complications will make vic
tory for the miners certainty, in the
event of general strike.
Though no general strike seems in
prospect, the big coal companies have
begun to store the smaller sizes of
anthracite Officials of the Reading
Company say the amount of coal mined
this summer will break all records.
Steady work has greatly improved the
conditions of the miners as we'll as of
the operating companies. Within
seven months, however, there have
been more than 100 fatal accidents.

Sarto's life has been spent in the
province Of Venice, first as a parish
priest, then as patriarch of the
province in which he had served so
many years in lowly position. His
selection was made by the consistory
of 1898, which was compelled to sue
the throne for the privilege of install
ing him as patriarch of Venice. In
return for this concession, which was
made through Premier Orispi, the
church appointed an ecclesiastical
vicar apostolic in northeastern Africa,
to assist the premier in his pet scheme
of extending the African colonies.
Cardinal Sarto had not been in Office
more than year before he publicly
declared for a union between church
and state, speaking in no uncertain
way. His utterances created a great
sensation, and it was felt that he
might have offended the holy father
by the fervor of his words. Appar-
emily he received the silent approba-
ton of the pope, in whose estimation
he has ever held a firm place. 1t was
made at the time Cardinal Sarto made
his public announcement that the
Austrian and Prussian ambassadors
at the Vatican were endeavoring to
induce the papal authorities to agree
to a modus vivendi Emperor Fran
els Joseph is reported to have written
several letters to the pope with this
end in view, and Emperor William
of Germany is said to have been
equally anxious to bring about an
understanding between the Vatican
and the Italian government.

THIRD BALLOT.

Rome, Aug. EARLY this morning
fully three thousand people gathered
under the shade of the colunnade of
st. Peters and from eight O'Clock all
eyes were fixed upon a small stove
pipe protruding from the roof of the
Sistine chapel Exactly at Ills a
puff of yellow smoke came from the
pipe and then fairly steady stream
OF smoke lasting for about minute.
A sigh of disappointment went up
from the crowd as it was supposed to
indicate that the first ballot for a
pope had been unsuccessful and had
been burned with wet straw.
London, Aug. IA Rome CORE
spondent of the Central News wires
that ON the first ballot Cardinal RAM
polla received the largest number of
votes. He was followed by Cardinals
Serafno Vannutelli, Oreglla, Gotti
and Agliardi in the order named.
Cardinal Gibbons received two votes.
Rome, Aug. lat 6.10 this even-
ing the smoke was again seen issuing
from the stovepipe. Vatican showing
that no successor to the Pope had
been chosen on the second ballot.

In this atitude of Cancellation to-
ward the Italian government is sign
that the new pope may nearly reverse
the policy of Leo XIII. With the
latter, silent hostility to Italy was
regarded as a necessary protest
against the loss of the papacy's tenn
poral power, the regaining of which
was one of the purposes of Leo's di-
plomacy. This object is rightly con-
sidered impossible of attainment by
everyone outside the church. The
adoption OF the same Wow by the new
pope will certainly mean great
REIMBURSEMENT of the Vatican's rela-
tions with all governments That
such change is possible, if not prob
able, through Sarto's elevation to the
pontificate seems reasonably certain.
He is known to have opposed the
policy of Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary of state, who has been
charged by more than one of the card
inals with placing ALLIANCES with gov
ernments higher than the real relig
ious interests of the church,. His
previous relations with the quirinal
show his pro Italian learnings and
his independence of the prisoner Of
the Vatican" theory which has been
one of the sheet anchors of Vatican fin
ance. 1t is, of course, quite possible
that Sartos views as pope will be
more conservative and in accordance
with Leo's than were his ideas as to
what was permitted to him as a card
inal. The inference is strong, how
ever, that Plus X. will cultivate a
closer relation with Italy, and that
toward France and Germany his pol
icy will have the minimum of such
actual politics as appears in Ram
polla's course.

like the trill of bird notes from green
tree tops, opening a glorious vista
that the four encompassing walls can
not shut out Those who heard The
Wilder Orchestra on Sunday at Beth
any church, and previous Sundays,
have come to know this, and that the
charm of this part of the musical
service is quite unbroken by the tones
of the fresh young voices OF the boy
choir as the singers marched through
the aisles to their own music, or sang
sweet hymns afterward.
The music at Bethany church has
been a topic OF conversation for some
weeks. Sundays services were the
final ones preceding the vacation
period and called forth large con-
gregation. The sermon of the NOM
ing by the pastor, Rev. Lucius F..
Reed, was an earnest and thoughtful
one, not to be forgotten for its exposi-
ton of faith and tender reverence.
The evening service was one of song,
and a sermon by the pastor on The
Love of God," full. of clear and earn
est speech, presenting high ideals and
noble aspirations. The boy choir OF
thirty voices again sang The orches-
ira played the beautiful paraphase,
Nearer My God to Thee" as pre-
Jude, tender response following the
prayer and the postlude, besides accom-
panying in the hymns in which all
joined, reminding of the one grand
church and the choir invisible. "

Sarto was distinctly the candidate of
the Italian party in the conclave, rep
resenting fully the views of those who
hold that the Roman church is first
of all Italian, and that it's relations
with Italy should be those of friend
ship and good understanding. A
modus vivendi with the Quirinal is
in their view of first Importance.
France, they hold, is too Indifferent
to religion, Spain too intolerant and
Austria too feeble. That Cardinal
Sarto's tolerance was substantial was
we'll shown at the time OF his meeting
with King Humbert at Venoie, already
mentioned. The cardinal, as patri-
arch OF Venice, announced his inten-
tion of paying a state visit to the
king. The Vatican, thereupon, sent
him hint that his plan was not a
wise one, and suggested that he had
best absent himself from Venice when
the king made his visit to that city.
The matter was left in Sarto's hands,
however. He made his announced

this time. The dyspepdc's train OF evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings Of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa. briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:--
1T gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. l can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that | could hardly walk
without help. l used two bottles Of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi-
cine since. l was completely cured"
