He Requests That Masses Be Said for
Repose of Pope's Soul.
Washington. July "a The first
definite announcement -uf. the death of
Pope Leo made to his immediate rep
resentative in Washington, Apostolic
Delegate Falconio, was conveyed to
him at 12:45 o'clock yesterday by
means of an Associated Press bulletin.
Four hours later the official conf1rma-
ton came.
During the afternoon the legation
was visited by many of the catholic
clergy, anxious to know if the news
paper announcements were true, and
if so, to leave their. expressions OF
sympathy and coincidence. Among the
callers also were representatives OF
the German ard Russian embassies,
both of whom called in state to ex-
press the sympathies of their re-
spective nations.
Archbishop Falconio later issued an
address to the archbishops and bish-
ops of the United States announcing
the death of the pope and requesting
that pontifcal masses be celebrated
in all cathedrals and funeral masses
be said in all churches for the repose
of the pontiff's soul.

Rome July 22.-The greatest inter-.
est is now centered in the work of
the conclave which is to select the
successor to Leo Kill Speculations,
prophecies and predictions come from
every direction in favor of the vari-
Gus candidates. The comparatively
long illness of Leo has had the effect
of narrowing the chances Of some who
entered the contest with what was
thought to be the brightest prospects,
while it has brought, forward the
prominence of others who at first were
hardly considered. The result is that
they are all now on about the same
level. 1t is said. that there has never
been a conclave in which there are so
many candidates who have fair
chance of winning. The most promi-
nent candidates of the succession are
Cardinals Gotti, Oreglia, Aglerdia,-
Serafno-Vannutelli, Capece1atro, Sar
to, Rampolla, Dipietro, Stampa, Fer
rari, Satolli and Richelmi. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the conclave will

DRINK AND THE POCKETBOOK.
Emphasis ON an Important Side OF
the Liquor Cues
ton.

The liquor traffic has many sides. 1t
may be that the financial side is less
important than some others, but it
should not be left out of considera-
ton. Broken hearts, ruined homes
and lost souls are results that cannot
be passed by lightly, but for the pres
ent the monsy side of the matter is
before us. A nation cannot increase
or decrease its wealth at will. 1t
would be impossible to plan a colony
of hundred thousand men in the
Sahara desert and make each one
worth a million dollars in a dozen
days. 1t is true, also, that if one
fourth of nations capital is in
vested in any one industry not more
than three-fourths is available for all
other lines of business. Whatever
money man spends for liquor he can
not spend for anything else. We are
interested to know whether Solomon
told the truth when he said that 1.-The
drunkard shall come to poverty" He
used the word ''winebibber," but it
can stand for the user of any kind OF
intoxicants. This verse links the
drunkard with the glutton and The
sluggard-all are headed toward pow
erty. The word translated poverty"
has more in it than our English word
THE winebibber shall be dis
possessed" is a good rendering. This
shows not only the poor condition of
the drunkard, but also the course by
which he has arrived there.
There are three leading causes for
the drunkard's loss of property:
l. The drunkard himself. In one
sense the drunkard must decide every
question relating to drink-he is the
court of last resort and must say yes"
or mo" to every temptation, but
while this is true, other characters fig
ure prominently. The drinker is the
cause of his own indulgence from TWO
standpoints The first is his inor-
dinate desire for drink. Solomon
talked of man in whom the habit of
intemperance was well formed. The
process by which one becomes a drunk

haps, then it was bearable, later it be-
came desirable, while now the fumes
of whisky or beer appeal to the ap-
petite in most tempting way. One
who has not been caught in the tolls

slavery. This insatiate desire, if yield
ed to, is a constant drain upon the
