POPE LEO XIII
DEAD AT ROME
For twenty-five Years the Head
of the Roman Catholic
Church
DEATH WAS DUE TO EXHAUSTION
C0nclave of Cardinals to Meet WedneS'
day Next After the Funeral to
Elect New Pope.

On Monday afternoon at four min
utes after four pope Leo XIII breathed
his last at the vatican in Rome. The
pope had been suffering from a compli-
cation of diseases Tor the last three
weeks and during the last few days has
been kept alive with stimulants only,
his death finally being due to exhaus-
tion. Leo XIII had been pope for 20
years coming to the throne in 1878. His
administration has been marked as very
successful and prosperous, the pope be-
ing Of most generous and kind dispo-
sition got along friendly with all the
governments and advanced the interests
of the Catholic church in quiet but
positive manner. His relations to the
United States have always been of the
most friendly sort, the pope being a
great admirer of the American people
and their mode of government. And
80 it is not surprising that the passing
away of the grand old man" as he was
known the world over, should cast
mournful gloom over all the countries
whether catholic or not All unite in
saying that the pope was a great man
who will be greatly missed His infu-
ence was immense. To what an extent
the Catholic religion is spread over the
country can be seen by considering that
Manitowoc county alone has 81 catholic
churches and chapels besides 3 con
vents and large hospital In every
land no matter where you go the catho-
lie religion is met with and all is gov
erned by the pope and upon his.wis lom
a great deal of the prosperity and hap
piness Of the globe depends.
Upon the death of the pope cardinal
Oreglia the head of the sacred college of
cardinals Immediately assumed control
of the whole church and will act as tenn
porary pope until a successor to Leo is
elected The ninth day after the death,
the funeral of the pope takes place and
Immediately thereafter the conclave, as
the college of cardinals is known, meets
to elect successor to the pope The
cOnclave withdraw to special building
in which they and their attendants are
to remain until pope is named. The
day after the funeral all assemble in the
building and it is ther walled up by
masons cnly small opening remaining
for cardinal to retire through in case
he should become sick. If he relires he
ia not allowed to enter again. 1t takes
two thirds Of those present for choice
and those present do the choosing no
matter how small the number After
the pope is elected he Immediately as
sumes control Who will be the new
pope cannot be said as the cardinals
take an oath to select him who in their
Judgment shall be the most competent
to occupy the throne of st. Peter and
represent him on earth. Cardinals
Oreglia and Rampolla who have been
holding high positions next to the pope
are prominently mentioned for the po-
sition but as can be seen from the above
nothing can be said until the conclave
make announcement Of their choice.

The following joint resolution of the

board Of police and fire commissioners
was introduced at the last council meet
ing and adopted without dissenting
vote:
Manitowoc, Wis, July 13, 1903.
To the Honorable, the Mayor and
Common Council Of the City of Manito-
voc, Wis
Gentlemen;--We the undersigned con-
stituting the Fire and Water Committee
and the Board of Police and Fire Com
missioners Of the City Of Manitowoc.
respectfully recommend to your honor
able body that you authorize and EN-
power the proper person or persons to
purchase horse, wagon and harness
for the use Of the Chief of the Fire De.
partment.
We further recommend that you pro-
vide for an additional full paid fireman
iu the fire department. said additional
fireman to take the place of three night
men, now being paid $3.50 per year,
which together with the abolishing of
the officas Of foreman, would decrease
the expense of maintenance Of the fire
department $500 annually, thus" costing
the city for said additional man only
$40 year. We make this recommen-
dation for the reason that the same is
for the best interests of the service and
can be made at very small additional
expense as stated above.
We further recommend that hereafter
all members Of the Fire Department be
required to purchase their own uniforms
and not at the expense Of the city as
heretofore.
We trust that you will take favorable
action on the above recommendations

The Two Captains

by w. CLARK RUSSELL

I'd ha' been right to hear the truth, !"
at which well-turned phrase there
arose a murmur that lighted up Cap
tain Popes face.
II understood you was letter of
marque, capn," said the boatswain
Grindal, who stood little forward of
the others. Not that it matters
though"
Were a pirate; all of you know
what that means. | am man OF few
words; this is what l stand here to
say" said Pope, planting himself firm
ly on outstretched legs, the terms are
half the plumber for the crew and the
brig herself when I've gone ashore
and got enough. If we take ten thou
sand pounds out of a ship, five thou
sand is divided among you. Is that
good enough? But who's going to
stop at ten thousand pounds provided
you're willing and prove yourselves
men"
He paused at this, and a loud hum
of assent went up. Captain Crystal,
gazing anXiously, saw very easily
that the hands were willing. No muir
mur or curse of resentment was audi
BILE as though the fellows had been
duped. But in sober truth the major
ity had shipped with a clear concep-
ton that something more was meant
by this cruise than Campeachy and the
West Indies.

Lesson the Bishop Needed.

Bishop Nicholson of Milwaukee has
story of personal experience to tell
to those who seem swamped in wor-
ries. 1t happened during the first
years of his ministry, when he was
rector of a Philadelphia church. The
parish matters, social and financial.
were in bad way, and Strengthening
them out was slow work. He was
distinctly discouraged one day when,
having gone to New York on business,
he stopped to look at the Brooklyn
bridge, then building. A man, cover
ed with dirt, was working on the abut.
ments.
That's pretty dirty work you are
engaged in" said the bishop.
We'll, yes" answered the laborer,
but somehow we don't think of the
dirt, but of the beauty which is to
come out of our work"
1T was the lesson I needed, and |
went back to Philadelphia the better
for it," said Bishop Nicholson.-Mil.
