POPE GR|EvED At
CARDINAL s END
Interrupts Effort to Break
the News Of Rampolla's
Untimely Demise
GREAT CHURCHMAN'S
DEATH IS SUDDEN
Frustrated While at Work,
Refuses Aid and Dies
Without Physician

Rome, Dec. 17-The death OF Cardi'
nal Rampella, former papal secretary
of state was not made known to Pope
Plus X until this morning. Cardinal
Merry del Val and Monsfgnor Giovanni
Bressan, the pope's private secretary
went to see his holiness at an early
hour intending to break the sad news
as gently as possible But when the
pope heard the name of Cardinal Ram
polla coupled with the word "indisposi-
ton" he grew pale and then begged
them to tell him the truth without
hesitation. The two prelates then told
him that Rampolla was dead. AS re-
Gently as Saturday the pope had re-
ceived Cardinal Rampolla who was
then apparently in his usual health
and spoke at length about many af-
fairs. ......
The pope later issued the following
statement:
Cardinal Rampolla was one of the
greatest men in the church. He had
become even greater since he, retired
from state affairs. His holiness or
dered that the highest honors should
be paid to the deceased cardinal On
Sunday evening last Cardinal RAM
polla received Silas McBee and his
wife of New York and discussed with
them the question of bringing about
a better understanding between all
religious sects. Mr.. McBee is former
editor of the Churchman.
Cardinal Rampolla was the closest
col,aborator of Pope Leo XIII in the
movement for the reunion Of the
Christian churches. When Pope Leo
was dying a cablegram was received
in Rome saying that the American Pro-
testant congregations were praying
for his recovery. Cardinal Rampolla
took the dispatch Immediately to the
dying pontiff who instructed Cardinal
Rampolla to write that the message
had been a great consolation to him as
it had proved that his scheme for the
reunion of the churches was not a
dream.
Yesterday Monsignor Cardinal Ram
pclla went to ST. Peters to inspect the

"The examination required to the

were produced 185,353,383.1 gallons of
distilled spirits; there were withdrawn
14O, ,289, ,424.8 gallons and there remain
cd in warehouses 276,784,540 gallons.
AS can be seen easily, the receipts
directly due from the government s
connection with the liquor business
amount to practically one-third of the
total income of the federal govern
ment. Experts connected with the
house and senate appropriations COM
mittees declare that If congress so
willed the taxes could be doubled prac-
tically, the receipts thus doubled, and
still there would hardly be a dent in
the liquor output providing prohibi-
ton does not sweep from one end of
the country to the other. In view of
the prospects of decreases in revenue
resulting from lower duties in the
tariff law, increases in the taxes on
distilled spirits, fermented liquors, to-
bacco, and the larger fortunes of this
country, may be expected within the
next three years.

Only Needed to be Told of Big Curio's
 Picture Frame Offer.

That the people of this vicinity are appreCiative of bargain when their attention is called to them, is proved by the great rush at Balke's Big Curio Store since announcement was made on Saturday morning of the slash made in the picture frameing department. That department has been almost sWamped with orders but it is wading through them and is now ready for more
 Though a reduction has generally been made. there is a special reduction in remnants of holdings. A good many accumulate in the course of a year, in a stock where there are sev- eral hundred varieties of holdings. But many as there were, they will not last long. The public is not to under stand that these remnants are spoiled or injured in any. They are just as good as the pieces from which they were cut.
 Furthermore, the making of frames from them will not be sighted. Just as much skill and care will be employed in the making of frames from these remnants as if there had been no re- duction in the prices of the frames.
 The Big Curio Store uses only French picture glass and it is the only concern in this part of the country that does use it. It costs more than common glass but much more than the difference in price is given in the ap pearance of the picture.
 The Big Curio Store has the only eX- pert frame maker in the state. In fact he is the only one between Fl Paso and Los Angeles. capable of making the simplest or the most expensive frame.

NIECE OF PHOENIX WOMAN
 MARRlES IN 4 HURRY
Overcomes Mandate of Navy Depart
 ment by Wedding at Short Notice.

Through the New York Herald, Mrs. Don D. Kinnebrew, of S21 North Sev enth avenue, has learned of the we'd ding on Tuesday last in New York of her niece, Miss Selena Shumard Car den, of Dallas, Texas, under circum- stances that brought forth a double column headed story with photographs of both the bride and the groom. The Herald says:
 Not unlike time and the well known tides. the United States Navy waits for no man, even though the pleasant du- ties of getting married lie before him. This habit of the navy was responsible for the rather hasty marriage of Miss Selena Shumard Garden, the daughter of MT and Mrs. George A Garden, of Dallas, Texas, to Ensign Garnet S Hu- lings, son of Representative and Mrs. Willis J. Rulings, of Oil City, Pa, which took place yesterday afternoon in the Old First Presbyterian church, Eleventh street and Fifth avenue.
 It all happened this way. Ensign Rulings and his bride were to have been married in Dallas late in the autumn, for his battleship, the Utah, was going to drydock for Overhauling at that time. But mysterious are the ways or the Navy anu lIlt young officer, who was graduated from Annapolis last year, suddenly found the prospect of a long leave of absence vanish into thin air. Some fifteen days ago the young couple decided to have their wedding in the near future Autumn being a long time distant in certain circumstances-but it was not until last Friday that Ensign Rulings discovered that he had only ten days in which to get married.
 Instantly there was action on the part of the bride elect and her family. From their apartments in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Mrs. Garden and her daughters issued their orders to count less dressmak bootmakers and such like for not only was there the trOuseau bridesmaids dresses to be made and, well, any one who has been married at three or four days notice can under stand One Fifth avenue dressmaker received twenty-four hours time in which to make the wedding dress He was equal to the emergency
 The wedding was held at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was a wedding in truly naval style, too, the officers being attired in their full dress uni forms, and the bridesmaids dresses be- ing trimmed in colors corresponding with those of the uniforms.

From the early days of the camp services have been conduct cd regularly here by Rev. MT.
