RECOVERY
FAR FROM ASSURED.
Chief Source of Anxiety and Ap-
prehension Is His Extreme
Weakness.

Especial Gable to The Times-D Ispatch.1
Rome, juno 1.-Notwithstanding the
many reassuring reports about HIS
Holiness's recovery. the fact Is known
here and abroad that his recent III
ness has left the Holy Father hope
less invalid. His recovery Is far from
being an assured thing, owing to HIS
advanced age.
According to one story, the CHIEF
source OF anxiety and apprehension Is
the Pope's extreme weakness, espe-
cialiy of the lower limbs. Ever since
his fever disappeared and His Holiness
was allowed TO leave his bed. he has
never been able to stand for moro
than few minutes at a time. Walk
ing has been found TO be utterly inns
possible.
1t was thought at first even this
debility would, in the end, be over,
come but the messages and injection
treatment ordered by Professors Mar
chiafava and DR.. Amici have proved
to be absolutely useless and have been
discontinued.
The Pope now is taken back and
forth from his bedroom to his private
library, chapel and dining-room in g
wheeled chair. 1t has been remarked
that His Holiness now receives his
relatives, few high prelates who
visit him, and members of his suite
In tho small private parlors. and never
leaves his wheeled chair, except to
return TO bed.

The little folk were arrayed in dress
suits and trailing gowns such as might
be expected to oe seen at a stylish
wedding. The bride was Little Miss
Elizabeth Robinson and the groom was
Master R. M. Gray, both of whom went
through the ordeal with BETTING solem
nifty. The unconscious childish simpli.
city of the little folk was the chief
charm OF the entire performance.
In response to popular demand
from those, alike who witnessed it
Friday night. and those who did not,
the ladies who had it in charge decided
to repeat it Tuesday evening, with no
material changes in the program, but
with some changes in the parts taken
| by different members of the cast. In
the second appearance Little Miss
Margaret Bortorff was the bride and
Master Fritz LaCour was the groom.
