A dispatch from Turin announces that
even IN that cradle of the house of Savoy,
which wrested temporal power from the
Vatican, the people are dominated by anX-
iety regarding the Pope's condition. The
inhabitants today formed an imposing pro-
ccssion, headed by priests and slowly
marched through the streets chanting the
intercc4sions. AT the Church Of the Con
solata. the Archbishop OF Turin. Cardinal
Richclmy, himself a possible successor Of
the Pope, addressed the multitude and
pronounced a eulogium Of Pope Leo, de
claring that his death would be an ire
parable loss to the Church Of Rome.
The British government has been ablig
ed to forego the custom, dating back many
years Of holding no diplomatic intercourse
with the Vatican. Today the government
cabled direct to Cardinal Rampolla, as
Secretary Of State, saying a cable message
had been received from the government Of
New Zealand, inquiring about the Pope's
health ana requesting an answer in order
to transmit to Premier Seldom. Consider

In 1897 the Pope wrote the following
verses in Latin, recently translated into
English by Rev. II. T. Henry, Lit. D.:
DEATH.
The westering sun draws near his cloudy
bed,
Leo. the gradual darkness wells thy head;
The sluggish life-blood in thy withcred
EN-
More slowly runs its course-what then
remains?
Lo. Death is brandishing his fatal dart,
And the grave yearns to shroud thy
mortal part:
But from its prison freed. the soul ex-
pands
EXulting pinion to the enfranchised lands.
My weary race IS run touch the goal;
Hear, Lord, the feeble painting OF my
soul;
If it be worthy, Lord, Thy plying breast
Welcome it unto everlasting rest!
May ] behold Thee, Queen of earth and
sky.
Whose love unclaimed the demons lurking
nigh.
The path to Heaven; al freely shall I
Twas thy sweet care that gained my bliss
full crown.

Pope LEO'S PRAYER.

Leo, now sets they sun; pale in its dying
ray;
Black night succeeds the day.
Black night for thee; wasted thy frame;
life's flood s~ustains
more thy shrunken veins.
Death casts his fatal dart; robed for the
grave thy bones
Lie under the cold stones.
But thy freed soul escapes her chains and
longs IN flight
To reach the realms of light.
That is the goal she seeks: thither her
journey fares.
Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers.
That with the citizens OF Heaven, Gods
face and light
May ever thrill my sight:
That l may see Thy face, Heavens queen,
whose mother love
Has brought me home above.
To Thee. saved through the tangles Of a
p~erilous way,
