Herald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. MINNESOTA. GRAND RAPIDS, - have leaves of absence thrust upon them. It’s all day with the British stomach now that the American quick lunch has invaded London. A man in Baltimore makes a good living by tattooing dogs. He could make a fortune in Newport. Boston is to provide a special street car late at night for drunken men. This looks like rank favoritism. The Missouri mule never goes out on a strike. When he strikes it is generally the other fellow that goes out. > Lions are so brave that some of them will go fearlessly into a cage with a lady lion tamer clad in spangles. , Dr. Rainsford says “the middle classes are the best citizens.” Ex- tremes are seldom safe or to be de pended upon. Once more a horse, by bolting at a scarlet motor car, demonstrates the) equine danger of looking on the auto} when it is red.

The New York courts have decided that it is no evidence of insanity for a man of 90 to marry. Not on his part, perhaps, but how about the woman? Russell Sage will have to pay taxes on an assessment of $2,000,000 because he forgot to kick in time. Hetty Green would never have put off such an im- portant duty. If $10,000,000 will secure the annex- ation of Canada, as somebody says it will, perhaps Mr. Carnegie will an- nounce his readiness to write a check for that amount. Miss Hallie Erminie Rives, her pas- sionate press agent says, is about to abandon literature for a time—just as if some Rives literature wasn’t aban- doned enough already. “If gambling isn’t protected,” asks the Indianapolis News, “how does it exist?” Well, mainly because of the mutual attraction that brings sharp- ers and suckers together. Don’t take a pillow and try to mash the mosquito on the ceiling. Tie a sponge to the end of a stick, dip the sponge in kerosene and hold it under him—or her—and see him (or her) drop. A St. Louis judge says that a man should be the head of & family, but if a man can’t impress that notion on his wife a full bench of Supreme court judges couldn’t make her see the point. Married love wanes in hot weather, decides a woman’s society. It never occurred to us before that getting up to fix the furnace at five a. m. was conducive to matrimonial bliss, but it must be 80. After telling an editor that he could choose between losing his head and a cabinet office, the Servian conspirators made him minister of justice. He ought to appreciate the grim irony of bis official position. New York is to have a bank which will be kept open at night. This will enable the saloon-keepers to avoid the risks they must now run by keeping large sums of money in their posses- sion till 10 o’clock the next morning. Patti is to sail for New York Oct. 24.

OPERATION HAS BEEN PERFORMED PONTIFF SHOWS WONDERFUL VITALITY AND RECUPER- ATIVE ENERGY. DEATH MAY NOT OCCUR YET DOCTOR SAYS HIS CONDITION PERMITS MOST OPTIMIS- TIC VIEWS. Rome, July 8,\6:55 a. m.—The pope on waking did not \speak. He was somewhat irritable, and it seemed as though the blankets and other bed clothes were too heavy, so he kicked them Off at the imminent risk of tak- ing fresh cold, which would be abso- lutely fatal. The doctors consider that alto- gether his holiness has had a rather peaceful night. Has Restless Period. Rome, July 8, 2:15 a. m. — Pope Leo is now sleeping, but his head lies uneasily on the pillow. The allevia- tion brought about by yesterday’s op- eration of removing the fluid from his pleura was followed later in the even- ing by a restless period, and fresh doses of chloral, digitalis and caffeine had to be administered. Under their influence the pontiff fell into a slum- ber, which, however, was not very peaceful on account of the difficulty the patient has in breathing. Wonderful Vitality. Dr. Mazzoni has been besieged by relatives and friends of the pope and by journalists, inquiring as to the re- sult of the operation and his progno- sis of the disease. To the Associated Press correspondent he said: . - “When one considers that the pope should be dead by this time the unex- pected may happen, and there is still hope. His resisting so long and main- perfect lucidity of mind monia, the affection of the kidneys and the difficulty of breathing, there is no poisoning of the blood. Between be- ing at the point of death and return- ing to what his holiness is to-night, there is certainly such a difference as to permit the most optimistic views. To properly Understand the Change which has taken place it must be con- sttered that Monday the conviction was so sure that he would die during the night that notwithsianding the contrary opinion of Dr. Lapponi, those surrounding the pope insisted on hav- ing extreme unction administered. Evil tongues even insinuate that some members of Pope Leo’s immediate circle counted on the bad effects that such a functicn was likely to produce on a weakened orgarism, but the pope resisted splendidly. Indeed, he seems to have acquired fresh strength. I don’t dare to say anything positive. It is very easy to be deceived, especially in the presence of such marvelous re- sistance. I merely venture the im- pression that there is a probability that the pope will die, but I do not be- lieve death will occur yet.” Stands Operation Well. Rome, July 8.—The marvelous and recuperative energy of the pope were never so forcibly demonstrated as by the series of events preceding, ac- companying and following yesterday's operation. When the operation took place no- body was allowed in the room besides the doctors except Pope Leo’s valet. Pope Leo remained sitting up in bed during the whole time of the opera- tion without any support. Dr. Mazzoni sublet the paravesis needle with apotain aspirator, and the pope did not even notice it, going through the whoie affair without emitting the slightest lament and without showing any feeling of pain. He was extreme- ly pale, almost diaphanous. As soon as the wound was closed his holiness seemed much relieved. His eye, from an expression of languid melancholly, assumed its usual vivacity, illuminat- ing the emaciated face. Dr. Mazzoni at once administered a cordial which the pontiff took willingly, thanking him with a grateful look for the brave struggle to preserve his life. Kills Wife and Himself. Washington, July 8. — A. B. Young, an attorney of Pittsburg, shot his wife and then committed suicide at a hotel here early yesterday morning. No reason for the deed is known. Greek Cabinet Resigns. Athens, July 8.—M. Theotokis, the premier, has telegraphed to the king tendering the resignation of the-cabi- net. The Theotokis cabinet was ouly formed ten days ago. No reason for the resignation has been given. ee King Oscar III. London, July 8. — The Manchester Dispatch says that King Oscar of Sweden is suffering from an incurable internal complaint, and that a most serious operation probably will occur in the near future. A ae is DISCUSS RUSSIAN AFFAIR. Important Conference Between Secre- tary Hay and the President. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 8.—Secre- tary Hay was a guest of President Roosevelt last night at Sagamore Hill. Matters of grave importance to this country, in its international relations, were under consideration during the afternoon and evening. The con- clusions reached at the conference are not disclosed, both the president and Secretary Hay regarding it as inex- pedient at this time to discuss for pub- lication the details of their work. To two subjects of serious concern most of their attention was turned. They considered in all its phases the Rus- sian situation, particularly with re- spect to the B’nai B'rith petition, which it has been determined will be forwarded to the Russian government, and the Alaskan boundary quest-on, which next month is to be taken up for what is hoped may be final adjust- ment by the American and British commission in London. It is regarded as likely that some developments in the Russian situation may be expected in a few days. DELEHANTY !S DEAD. Ball Player Either Committed Suicide or Was Accidentally Drowned. Washington, July 8—Word received in Washington yesterday leaves little doubt that Ed Delehanty, the famous ball player, committed suicide or was accidentally drowned at Fort Eric, Ont., on the night of July 2. He left Detroit that day in a very despondent frame of mind after several days of dissipation. A letter received by Mrs. Delehanty says that an unknown man on the night in question had a diffi- culty with a bridge tender at Fort Erie, and a moment or two later fell or jumped into the river. Adress suit case was recovered, and in this was found basebill ticket No. 26, issued by the Washington club to Delehanty. Manager Loftus and the players liere regard the proof received as con- clusive of Delehanty’s death. LOOKS DUBIOUS. Canal Treaty May Not Be Ratified by Colombia at Present. Washington, July 8.—Mr. Cromwell has received a cablegram from Bogota stating that the treaty was presented to the Colombian senate July 2 and was to be taken up for consideration July 4. As jess than two weeks re- main of the special session of the Colombian congress it is appremended here that the treaty cannot receive final action in tnat:time. If not then, the regular session, beginning the 20th inst., would displace the special order which gave the treaty the right of first consideration. It is believed here, however, that the difficulty in that case will be met by a renewal of the special order to govern the pro- ceedings in regular session. SQUADRON IS WELCOMED. British Waters Ends Brilliantly. Portsmouth, July 8—The American squadron’s first day in British waters has ended as brilliantly as it began. While Admiral Hotham entertained Admiral Cotton and the American captains at dinner last night, the junior officers of the United States vessels were dining on board the Brit- ish gunnery ship Excellent. The English an? American ships were il- luminated last evening, the spectacle attracting thousands of onlookers, who watched it from the flag-bedecked streets. The dinner given by Admiral Hot- ham was characterized by considera- ble warmth of feel.ag. There were no First Day in formal toasis except those to King | Edward and the president of the Unit- ed States, and no set speeches. NEGRO HANGED BY A MOB. They Hold Up a Train and Take Him From the Deputy Sheriff. Vicksburg, Miss., July 8.—Cato Gar* rett, a negro who stabbed Harry Ev- ans to death last Saturday morning, was hanged by a mob near the scene of his crime yesterday afternoon. Garrett was taken to Natchez Satur- day morning, the sheriff fearing an as- sault on the jail here. Yesterday morning a special grand jury found a true bill against Garrett and the sler- iff. notified the Adams county. sheriff to bring the negro to this city.

BREAK UP THE LAWLESSNESS EIGHT COMPANIES OF INFANTRY AND ONE BATTERY NOW ON THE SCENE. FATALITIES WILL REACH TWELVE RESULT OF THE BATTLE ‘BE- TWEEN THE SOLDIERS AND THE MOB. Evansville, Ind., July 8. — The city of Evansville is now under the control of Brig. Gen. W. J. McKee and Mayor Charles G. Covert, assisted by a com- mittee of public safety chosen at a conference called by Gen. McKee, who inquired of the mayor what precau- tions had been taken to prevent a re- currence of Monday night’s lawless- ness. Gen. McKee informed the may- or that the state would not assume control of the city until the municipal- 4 ity had exhausted its resources. Af- ter a consultation with prominent citi- zens who attended the meeting, Mavor Covert announced a committee ot pub- lic safety which will advise with him during the trouble. The committee discussed the situation with the may- or and Gen. McKee, and decided to place the guarding of the city in the hands of Chief of Police Fred Heuke, and to strengthen his regular police force of thirty-two men, making it 100. The military forces Will Assist the Police and patrol the city. All persons found on the street at night who can- not furnish a satisfactory explanation of where they are going will be sent to their homes under. guard. The po- licemen are armed with shotguns and revolvers, and their instructions are to command the people to respect their authority. Mayor Covert made the following statement: “I anticipate no further acts of vio- lence, but to be fair, I will say that I did not suspect the possibility of such an occurrence a‘ that of Monday night. I believe that the presence of troops in the city and the strict measures adopted is having the effect of quiet- ing the people.” After the carnage of Monday night Evansville is now obeying the orders of the mayor and people are keeping off the streets. There are eight dead, one dying. three others fatally hurt and twenty-one more or less injured. The Fatalities will increase the dead to twelve. There are eight companies and one battery of militia here. There are 800 soldiers armed with rifles and a light battery armed with a Gatling gun. The troops on their arrival yesterday were marched heavily armed through a quietly curious crowd of several thousand people. As the Gatling gun was unloaded and wheeled into line it created a visible impression. There was not a negro in sight. The streets were deserted with the exception cf a few boys, and at every corner were seen policemen armed with rifies and revolvers. The intention of the governor is to make a strong showing with the troops and break up the spirit of law- lessness. Martial law will not be ¢e- clared unless there arises additional trouble. EDUCATORS ARE BUSY. Convention Is Now in Full Blast In Boston. Boston, July 8. — The members of the National Educational association | in this city got down to hard work yesterday.

Altogether upward of sixty for- mal papers were delivered. From the work of the morning’s meetings the visitors turned to play in_ the after- noon, and many New Englanders at- tended the “New Hampshire and Ver- mont” day reception, while the strang- | ers from more distant points who ob- tained invitations to private resi- dences were regarded as the fortunate ones of the day. CHINESE COMPLAIN BITTERLY. Russians Are Commandering Fodder, Mules and Carts. London, July 8. — The Standard’s correspondent at Tien-tsin says that the Chinese are complaining bitterly that the Russians are continuing to commander fodder, mules and carts beyond the great wall.
