VOL. XXV. THE DEATH OF LEO. Last Moments of the Dying Pon- tiff Described by Those Who Were at the Bedside. Rome, July 20.—The emaciated and Mifeless frame of Pope Leo XIII, who died this afternoon lies on the vatican bed beside which almost all the world has prayed. The red damask coverlet reate lightly over the body the cardinal’s scarlet cape is about the shoulders, while on his head has been placed the papal hood of velvet bordered with ermine. A white silk handkerchief is bound about his chin, and in the hands which have blessed so many thousands has been placed a crucifix. So Pope Leo will remain until to-morrow, watched by uniformed officers of the noble guard and rough-clad Franciscan penitentiaries who will keep w cease- less vigil until the burial ceremonies. Pope Leo’s final moments were marked by that serenity and devo- tion, and when he was conscious that calm intelligence which is assocated with his twenty-five years pontificate. His was no easy death, An hour be- fore he died, turning to Dr. Lapponi and his devoted valet, Pio Centra, he murmured, ‘The pain I suffer is most | terrible.” | Yet his parting words were not of the physical anguish that he suffered but were whispered benedictions upon the cardinals and his nephews, who knelt at the bedside, and the last look of his almost sightle:s eyes was toward thegreat ivory crucifix hang- ing in the death chamber. A MOMENTOUS CAREER. Leo XIII was the son of Count Do- menico Lodovico Pecci of Carpineto and Anna Prosperi Buzi. He was born March 2, 1810. Count Lodo- vico Pecei’s wife was the daughter of @ noble Volscian family living in the ancient city of Cora, the modern \ Cori. She was a woman of extraor- 4 dinary ability and strength of char- acter. Joachim, or, as his mother always called him, Vincent, was the fourth son. That Joachim Pecci should under the training of such a woman as the Countess Anna, turn his attention to the church was only natural. She belonged to the Third Order of St. Francis, an association founded to bring men and women closer to the church. From his earliest years the boy had'been accustomed to seeing | the brown habit and sandaled feet of the brothers and to listening to the story of the life of St. Francis of As- sisi, as told by his mother. While he was a student in the Col- lege of Noble Ecclesiastics Cardinal Sala took the warmest fancy to the young scholar and gave him much advice of the greatest value. Carfinal Sala saw to it that Joa- chim Pecci was attached to the Con- gregation of the Propaganda, and Cardinal Lambruschini, who was the popes secretary ofstate, had him appointed official to many import- ant bodies. In May, 1841, Mgr. Pecei was re- called from Benevento and appointed papal delegate to Spoleto. This sent him to Perugia, one of the hotbeds ofthe revolutionary societies, and the organized opposition to thé church, which was to be the man’s work for many years. Joachim was in his thirty-third ** year when Gregory XVI appointed him apostolic nuncio, or papal am- bassador to the kingdom of Belgium. A CARDINAL IN 1854.

On February 26,1854, Perugia celebrated the elevation of her bishop to the cardinalate, in which celebration all ranks and orders of society joined, for Cardinal Pecei was most popular even among men who did not belong to the church, and all delighted to do him personal honor. Pope Pius IX. appointed Cardinal Pecei carmerlingo in 1877. This of- fice gave its occupant charge of the temporalities of the church during any vacancy of the papal chair, and with it came Cardinal Pecci’s resi- dence in Rome. In January, 1878, Pius IX. died. As camerlingo it was Cardinal Pecci’s duty to make arrangements for the conclave in which the new pope was to be elected. A full two-thirds vote was necessary for anelection, On the altar stood a large challice and one by one the cardinals knelt before the altar and declared he chose the man he consid- ered most fitted. Then, rising, he deposited his ballot. On the first vote the name of Joa- chim Pecci appeared twenty-three times. On the second he received thirty-eight. On the third, taken on the morning of the 20th ofFebruary, 1878, hé received sixty-four and was declared elected. The sub-dean, the senior cardinal priest and cardinal deacon approached the seat of Cardi- nal Pecci. Do you accept the selection made of you aa supreme pontiff of the Catholic church?” asked the sub- dean, and Cardinal Pecci replied: “I accept.” The cardinals rose as the subdeacon knelt. “By what name do you wish to be called?” “By the name of Leo XIII” Pope Leo celebrated hia first jubi- lee in 1888, in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of his elevation to the priesthood, and in 1893 he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his being raised to the rank of arct. bishop. There have been many other celebrations toward the end of his life, the latest being in March of this year, when he celebrated the open- ing of his twenty-fifth year as pope brutally Tortured, A case.came to light that for per- sistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Calif, writes: “For 15 years I endured jnaufferable pain from rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried every- thing known. I came across Electric Bitters and it’s the greatest medicine onearth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me.” Justas good for liver and k‘dney troubles and general de- bility. Only 50c. Satisfaction guar- anteed by H. L.

On Saturday afternoon he assaulted the 13-year-old daughter of William Blanke at Childs Mill, near Warren, and fled.

Emily Browo, an American Girl, Crowned Empress of Korean Empire. Appleton, Wis., July 19.—Born in the backwoods as the daughter ofan itinerant missionary and at 40 the Empress of an Oriental Kingdom and mother of the heir apparent to the Korean throne is the story of Emily Brown, a native of Appleton and now the Empress of Korea, Last January Yi Honge, Emperor of Korea, celebrated the fortieth an- niversary of his coming tothe throne, and on the same day a beautiful American woman, named Emily Brown, daughter of the Reverend Herbert Brown, @ missionary, and long the light of the Emperor's ha- rem, was crowned Empress of Korea and her son declared heir ap; arent to the throne. Up to the time of her coronation Emily Brown was known as Lady Emily. Now she is the Empress Om, which in English means “dawn of the morning.” Emily Brown was born in Apple- ton, Wis., about 1860, her father, the Reverend Herbert Brown, being anitinerant Presbyterian missionary who lived here only a few months, and her mother a remarkably beau- tiful woman. When Emily was about 15 years old her father went as @ missionary to Korea and issaid to have been the first Protestant missionary to settle in the capital of Zepul. His wife and child went with him. Emily sang in the mission church, and, learning the language rapidly, came to be used as inter- preter in church dealings with the Government. Her beauty was reported to the Emperor and he commanded her to enter his harem, which she indgnant- ly refused to do. About two years Inter she concluded to accept the Emperor’s protection and went to live in the palace after securing from the Emperor a solemn promise of marriage when affairs of state would permit. This promisé was kept. Formany years before her marriage she was the favorite and confidante of the Emperor and now she is Empress in name as she had long been in fact and her son has been recognized as the heir apparent to the Korean throne. These facts were learned here by recent private correspondence from Tokio, Japan, from American missionary sources. Anarchists Plot to Kill Kaiser. Chicago, Ill., July 20.—Four Chi- cago anarchists who are said to have pledged themselves to accom- plish the death of Emperor Wil- liam of Germany left Chicago sev- eral weeks ago and are now in Sweden on their death mission, accordiag to London dispatches which are con- firmed by Chief O'Neill. King Oscar has been warned. The warning was sent from Chicago. Chief O'Neill placed a full statement of the movements of the anarchists in the hands of an official of the Swedish government, and in turn this Information was cabled to King |The Law School of the University of Missouri.

Chicago, Il., July 18.—A man who has been busy gathering statistics of Fourth of July fatalities in the Mid- dle West finds that, while only 52 persons were killed, 167 have since died from lockjaw caused by slight wounds received on Independence Day. The injured list foots up to 4,000. Almost all are boys between the agen of 6 and 16 years. Up to last night 41 deaths from lockjaw alone had taken place in Pennsylvania. Henry Watterson’s charge that we killed 500 persons a year to makea holiday would not appear a strange exaggeration. Losing your hair? Coming out by the combfulP And doing nothing? No sense in that!
