The Dead PontitR.

Rome. July 21.-The Cardinals now
in Rome assembled in tae consIstory
chapel this morning, and held the first
congregation of the interregnum. After
the customary oath of secrecy had been
taken the prelates proceeded to transact
the business connected with the affairs
of the Vatican between now and the
conservation of the new pontif. After
this had been done, the formal decision
to hold conclave for the election OF
new head of the church was arrived at.

sistory hall the cardinals visited the re-
mains of Pope Leo.
The remains lie on a couch covered
with the brocaded insignia of the pom
tits office as Cardinal, while in his
skeleton-like fingers crucifix has been
placed. Near the door stand the guard,
in their military attire, while immedi-
ately about the bed are assembled the
commentaries who in low voices contin-
uously chant requiem to the dead.
The official certificate of the Pope S
death filed today with the Mayor OF
Rome by DR.. Lapponi, gives the cause
of death as adynamic pneumonia, com
plicated with hemorrhaegic pleurisy.

REINSTATEMENT ORDERED.


William A. Miller on May IS last was
removed by the Public Printer from his
position of assistant foreman in the gov
eminent printing Office because he had
been expelled from the local union OF
the international Brotherhood OF Book
binders. Mr.. Miller complained to the
Civil Service Commission, and on July
6 il requested Mr.. Miller's reassignment
to duty, his removal being contrary to
the civil service rules. Complaint also
had been made to the President, and by
his direction Secretary Cortelyou inyesti-
gated the matter. On July IL President
Roosevelt wrote as follows: "My Dear
Secretary Cortelyou: In accordance
with the letter of the Civil Service Com
mission of July 6, the Public Printer
will reinstate Mr.. w. A. Miller in his
position. Meanwhile / will withhold my
final decision ofthe whole case until / have
received the report of the investigation
on Miller second communication, which
you notify me was begun yesterday, July
13. On the face of the papers presented
Miller would appear to have been remoy-
ed in violation of law. There is no OBJ
lection to the employees Of the govern
ment printing Office constituting
themselves into a union if they
so desire; but, no rules or resolutions OF
that union can be permitted to override
the laws of the United States, which 1t
is my sworn duty to enforce, Please
communicate copy Of this letter to the
Public Printer for his information and
that of his subOrdinates. J."
The next day the President followed
this letter up with the following letter
to Secretary Cortelyou:
"1n connection with my letter of yes
terday | call attention to this judgment
and award by the anthracite coal strike
commission in its report to me of March
1S last 1T is adjudged and awarded
that no person shall be refused employ
ment or in any way Disseminated against
on account of membership or non mem
bership in any labor organization, and
that there shall be no discrimina-
ton against or interference with any
employee who is not member
of any labor organization by
members of such organization.
l heartily approve this award and judg-
ment by the commission appointed by
me, which itself included member oil
labor union. This commission was
dealing with labor organizations working
for private employers. 1t Is, of course,
mere elementary decency to require that
all the government departments shall be
handled in accordance with the princi-
pie thus clearly and fearlessly enun-
ciated. Please furnish a copy of this
letter both to Mr.. Palmer and to the
Civil Service Commission for their
guidance. -
1t is announced that Public Printer
Palmer on Wednesday, July l6, notified
Mr.. Miller that he had been reinstated
and might report for duty any day.

Chicago, July 2i.-Pauline Uhappell
lies speechless at the hospital, the VIC
tim of her habit of using her mouth as
receptacle for pins. The woman was
mending stockings yesterday and placed
several pins in her mouth. Her tongue
was pricked by one of the pins and in
attempting to take them from her mouth
she swallowed one which lodged in her
throat. She ran to near by drug
store for relief but was later taken to the
hospital Soon after her arrival she

King Edward ON Irish Soil.

Dublin, July 21.-The royal yacht
bearing King Edward and Queen Alex
andra was sighted off Kirgstown at $50
this morning. A heavy rain was falling
this morning, and threatened to mar
somewhat the landing of the King and
Queen. Amid the booming of guns the
royal barge left the yacht and landed at
Kingstown at exactly eleven o'clock.
At that moment the sun broke through
the leaden clouds and the landing be-
came brilliant scene. The King on
his arrival was presented with an address
of welcome Replying his majesty said:
ri share the sadness felt by the multi
tude of my subjects on the Pope's death,
remembering, as do, the kindness with
which his holiness received me and the
interest he took in the welfare of the
English people" The King concluded
by abiding to the fact that his visit to
Ireland occurred at a time when the
hopes of better era were bright. He
said: at is ny fervent prayer that the
hopes will be fulfilled" The long
route from Kingstown to the vice regal
lodge outside of Dublin, was lined with
great crowds. AS the procession passed
along the way it was greeted with I'M
bounded enthusiasm. The King has
cancelled the gala performance at the
Theatre Royal, on Friday, as a mark OF
respect to the memory of the Pope.
The buildings of Dublin are profusely
decorated, and everything indicates that
the welcome to Edward will be on a
much larger scale than that accorded his
mother, Queen Victoria.

Heartburn, Water-brash, Gnawing and
Burning Parns at the Pitof the Stomach,
Yellow Skin, Coated Tangue and Dis
agreeable Taste in the Mouth, Coming
up of Food after Eating, Low Spirits,
etc. Go to your Druggist and get a
bottle of August Flower for 20 or 10
cents. Two doses will relieve you.

Cincinnati, o., July Ex-senator
Jos. B. Foraker arrived home Monday
after an absence of a month. He ex-
pressed himself as confident of republic
can victory this fall, and in the course
of his remarks, on things political, he
secuted the idea that Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island, would be nominated
as the running mate of President
Roosevelt. Senator Foraker disposed of the
Aldfich matter by saying that he did not
think that Senators Plat and Aldrich would
imagine for moment that with the Presi-
dent coming from New York the yice-Presi-
dent would be selected from suburb of that
city. Neither did Senator Foraker think
that Myron 7. Herrick will be nominated for

lapse of stock at the beginning of last
week, which continued the entire week.
Values deprecated until Wednesday,
when they narrowly missed the panic
figure of the Northern Pacific corner OF
a year ago. Yesterday stocks were again
hammered down many points. A few
attributed the series Of drops to an I'M
justified craze to sell, while many be-
lieye this erich mans panic" to indl-
cate simply loss of faith in the great
merging deals effected under the finan-
cial leadership of Mr.. J. P. Morgan.
There is a growing restlessness among
the eighty million people in this country
at the persistent attempt Of few men in
New York to manage the financial af-
fairs and direct that financial policy OF
the United States and the belief is
spreading the Wall street cannot con-
troll all the money of the country.

Cardinal Gibbons's Candidature.

Chicago, July 21-"Cardinal Gibbons
is logical candidate to succeed Pope
Leo" said Justice Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court Monday, when
with his wife, he arrived in Chicago from
the west on bis way to Washington. "No
wiser choice could be made. America is
constantly growing field for Catholic
labor and it is a field that no one knows
more intimately than Cardinal Gibbons.
Do L think he will be elected?
No layman can have any seri-
Gus premises on which to reach con-
clusion in the matter. OF course the
Italians have majority of votes in the
college which would indicate that the
choice would be an Italian, but there
are indications that it would be wiser to
choose a man from outside of Italy.
Cardinal Gibbons has this in his favor,
that he has necessarily held aloof from
European intrigue aud he would thus
have the support of the French and Aus
TRAN and, possibly, the Spanish members
of the college"
