POPE rs IMPROVING.
FOntiH May Never Res. me His Full Du-
ties, However.

ROME, April 25.-Pope Plus bror-
chial and intestinal condition continues
% improve, though he is sli shtly
weaker today than earlier in the week.
The physicians at the vatican have ar
ranged to have his sister Anna sit by
his bedside throughout the day, as the
pontiff obeys all her suggestions, and
she appears to be the only one able
completely to soothe him.
1t was admitted at the vatican today
that it is not likely that the pope ever
again will resume his full duties. His
chief ambition at present is to recover
his health sufficiently to celebrate the
pentacostal mass in commemoration OF
the Roman emperor Constantine.

Champ Clark and w. J. Bryan, even

to the harmonizing of the Clark and
Bryan factions of the party in this

we believe it would be well for the fol-
lowers of each to carry out the example
set by their leaders.
