POPE'S HEALTH

ROME, June Though usual offic-
ial denials followed recent reports of
the alarming condition of the pope's
health, it is no particular secret about
tn vatican that much uneasiness is felt
concerning his holiness. The pontiff
is, indeed, up and about. He is kept
constantly, however, under s physic-
ian's eye and every effort is made by
his attendants to shield him from ia
tigue or worry. The truth is that his
attacks of govt are growing steadily
more frequent and progressively more
serious. His heart is also extremely
weak and he is suffering from arterial
deg generation there is no question. Dur
ing the earlier days following his ele.
walton to the panal throne he threw off
disease with little trouble. Today he
does so only with great difficulty and

GARY ADMITS
COMING INSTITUTE
Meeting to be Held In Brussels Next
Month to Form Great
Combine.

WASHINGTON, June fudge
Gary, head of the steel trust admitted
to the Stanley committee today that
an international iron and steel insti-
tute with world wide scope to pre-
vent destructive f1uctuation of steel
prices" would be formed in Brussels
July and 6.
Gary said the important question Of
the day was the combinations of ag-
gregations of capital. The time will
come, he said, when there would be
absolute government control of all cor
porations, publicity and the making
of prices.
Stanley, who yesterday demanded
specific information as to the inten-
lions of the steel magnates to form a
world wide trust was answered today
Gary finally said that several steel
magnates were invited here from 9th
er countries and a conference was
held. A meeting was called for July
5 in Brussels and at that meeting the
steel makers of the world will form
an organization similar to the Ameri.
can Steel and Iron Institute.

SAINT PAUL. FINE
LOOKING STEAMER
Bia Streckfus Packet Arrived Here
Last Night on First Through
Trip, St. Louis to ST. Paul.

The Saint Paul, handsomest river
packet on the Mississippi, on her fl st
trip north of the season, touched the
Keokuk wharf about 1880 last night,
enroute to ST. Paul from st. Louis.
The big boat had large passenger
business for the initial trip out and a
number of St Louisans and others
from intermediate points joined the
party from the southern port.
The Saint Paul has been given a
coat of white, steamer paint and fair
ly glistens. The electric lights about
her decks and outside stanchions and
inner cabins made pretty picture
for the crowds lined along the shore
when the boat reached here last night.
Several thousand dollars were put
into remodeling and repairs on the
Saint Paul. As fine buffet as is
found in large city hotels, cafe
whose dimensions and furnishings are
grand have been installed on the
boats cabin deck.
With its brass beds and upholster-
ed furniture, the boat Is an ideal
summer steamer and shows the
streckfus hand of spending money
with a lavish hand to make their
equipment the pest that is.
The Saint Paul left here after I'M
loading freight. The boat was several
hours late, the schedule providing for
its arrival here at 1890, noon yes
terday.

THIS WAITER WAS SATISFIED
Old Negro Receives One Dollar Tor
Every Cent He Collected From
Wealthy Man.

THE shrewd waiter will accept q
tip, no matter how small 1t is, and
pretend that he is satisfied" said a
hotel manager yesterday. when I
hear of persons giving extraordinarily
small tips it reminds me OF an old me-
gro waiter we used to have at Palm
Beach few years ago. His name
was Winfield Scott.
"A wealthy but eccentric New York
er arrived at the hotel early In the
season, and Scott took charge Of his
table. He took his three meals at
the same hours each day. At the end
OF the first he solemnly handed the
waiter one cent Scott was wise, SO
he bowed and showed his teeth and
said: Thank yuh, sub The next
meal the same thing happened, and
so on to the end of three months,
when the visitor was about to leave.
! Scott waited on him with the great
est punctiliousness at every meal and
never limited that the tip he got was
not perfectly satisfactory.
After he had finished his last meal
! the visitor said to the waiter: Scott
how long have been here?
"Jes 80 days, subj was the answer
I have given you something aftel
every meal, haven't II
Yes. sub
"How much does 1t amount tor
Scott told him. Have you got al
4 those pennies?' the visitor asked.
Scott said he had and the visitor
4 told him to bring them. Scott re
turned with bag of pennies and
handed them over.
"T'll take them said the man
Now this is yours, and he handed
over to the waiter 500"

THE SEARCH FOR
THE SOUTH POLE
Physicist Docs Not Believe 1t Possible
to go in Winter
Time.

Dr. Louis Bornacchi, who was ply
1cist to the Southern Cross and Dis
covery expeditions into the south pol
ar regions and holds the Kings An
tarctic medal, is SO sure 1t would be
impossible to reach the south pole
IN the antarctic winter-time that he
cannot believe Captain Amundson
means to attempt 1t.
1t seems likelier to me- says the
doctor, that he has simply gone In
land 200 or 300 miles to establish
winter quarters and await the advent
OF spring. This would give him some
advantage Of route and he would
probably find the Beardmore glacier
In better condition than his rival,
Captain Scott, would.
III 1t is fact that he left Balloon
Light February 10, the day after the
Fran sailed northward from there, II
would take him at least forty days tc
rach the bottom of the glacier. Then
just as he started on the most diff
cult part of his travels, the sun would
leave him. The billiards. would in
crease in intensity and frequency
probably attaining 100 miles an hour
and 1t is quite probable that 100 de
grees below zero would be reached or

the pole. Neither men nor dogs coulC
stand such conditions long"
