“Ferald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. This 1s the open season for minis ters in Bulgaria. It would seem that Patti's other visits were merely au-revour tours. Living is high in New York. Even a dog ate $100 for luncheon the other day. At this season of the year no boy needs to be told that swimming is a healthful exercise. A Minneapolis hospital offers to treat a man free. Huh; most any can- didate will do that. The remodeled White House con- tains thirty-two miles of wire—and several people to pull it. They are busy in New York just now counting the geese that “Get- Rich-Quick” Goslin plucked. Bulgaria should join hands with Ja- pan and divide the expenses of the enthusiastic search for trouble. Any reasonable man will admit that there are two sides to every question—his side and the wrong side. Mr. Whistler is no more and the gentle art of making enemies is rele- gated exclusively to our reformers in politics. What worries the sultan is not that his treasury is empty, but that he has reached the end of his ability to go into debt. American warships in European wa- ters have been winning peace vic- tories that are no less valuable than those of war. People who can’t get along without borrowing trouble might save wear and tear on their nerves by moving to Paterson, N. J. Prosperity—among the politicians —is beyond question. The diamond importation has increased 50 per cent during the last year. It is said that Indians have ac- quired the diverce habit. Perhaps the rea] truth is that some of the squaws have decided to strike. The peek-a-boo shirtwaist may shock us, but it has one great advan- jage, the dear girl who wears it at- tracts all the mosquitoes. The latest bulletin from Jim Cor bett’s camp proves conclusively that when his “new blow” has been tried out, Jeffries will again be a boiler maker. Anthracite coal fields have been dis- covered in Colorado equal in extent to those of Pennsylvania. The Mis- sissippi valley will now be between two fires. When an old-fashioned mother wants to say in a back-handed way that her boy is good at school, she ‘says that he likes all his teachers.— Atchison Globe. It is hoped that the Fourth-of-July victims have nearly all been accounted for. The automobile accidents con- tinue, however, to be reported in grad- ually increasing numbers. Mrs. Corbett has dreamed that her husband will knock out Jeffries in the thirteenth round. But if she wanted to be convincing, why couldn’t she make it some other round? A New York corporation, of which the stock is said to have been “all water,” has been declared bankrupt. The company’s floating debt did not keep the directors in the swim. Peace once more reigns in the edu- cational world since the president of the State university of Vermilion, S. D., has been exonerated from the charge of drinking beer and smoking cigars. Prince Botijar of Paris calls the Servian affair an “operetta.” Well, it depends, Prince. If you had been playing the star part doubtless it would have seemed a little nearer the legitimate. Dr. Stiles claims that in some cases the “laziness disease” has been fatal. The only case just now recalled is that of the man who was too tired to get off the track when the train came along. England complains that we have seized some of her islands. But we ‘have not. It is merely an exchange We gave her William Waldorf Astor, and surely he is worth more than any jlittls bunch of islands. Jacob Jung and Marie Mosser, aged 87 and 63 respectively, kissed each ther in Lincoln park, Chicago, re- ‘cently, and were promptly arrested. ‘oor young things! How can Chica- ‘igo tolerate policemen with no tender sentiments in their souls? i. RE aS When the theosophist lady and gen- fleman who stood up before their friends the other day and said they were married want to call it off they will find it necessary to go through = few additional formalities. The law 4s queer about some of these things. Crimes and Criminals. At Ciderville, Ohio, George Stein, a farmer, shot and killed his wife and then committed suicide.

THE GREAT CATHEDRAL IS PACKED IMPOSSIBLE TO .RESTRAIN AC CLAMATIONS OF THE VAST THRONG. NEW POPE IS GREATLY FATIGUED SCARCELY HAD STRENGTH TO IMPART APOSTOLIC BENE- DICTION. Rome, Aug. 11—The ceremony of the coronation of Pope Pius X. took place yesterday in the basilica of St. Peter’s in the presence of the princes and high dignitaries of the church, diplomats aid Roman nobles, and with all the solemnity and splendor associ- ated with this, the most magnificent rite in the Roman Catholic church. As Cardinal Macci, the dean of the cardi- nal deacons, placed tife crown on the head of the venerable pontiff, the throng of 70,000 persons gathered | within the cathedral burst into unre- | strained acclamations, the choir in- | toned a hymn of triumph and the bells of Rome rang out a joyful peal. It is | fifty-seven years since the Romans and | Europe assisted in such a function in on the ble white head the triple crown. this moment the church was with the ringing of bells, the blowing of silver trumpets, strains of the choir and the acclamations of the multitude which could no longer be repressed. % Pope Pius was quite overcome and had scarcely strength left to impart the apostolic benediction. The pro- cession then reformed and left the basilica in the same form as it came. The pontiff was so fatigued by the ceremony that he has postponed the meeting of the consistory which was to have beer held to-day. NINE ARE KILLED. Walk in Philadelphia Base-Ball Park Suddenly Collapses. Philadelphia, Aug. 11. —- Four per sons were killed outright, five others died from wounds and five are in a critical condition as the result of av accident at the Philadelphia National League Baseball park Saturday after- noon. Two hundred victims were treated at the various hospitals and it is ne lieved that fully 100 more received attention at various drug stores in the vicinity of the baseball grounds. Two games had been scheduled be- tween Boston and Philadelphia, and the attraction drew over 10,000 people to the ball park. The accident occurred during the fourth inning of the second game, and was indirectly due to a quarrel Between Two Drunken Men in the street. The National league stands are built of steel and bri the brick wall extending entirely around the grounds. At the top of the left field seats and extending from tbe grandstand to the end of the bleachers there was a walk about three feet wide which overhung the street. It was this walk that gave way under the heavy weight. Men who were standing on the waik were attracted by a disturbance in tine street. They leaned over the side of the railing to see what was the trouble St. Peter’s. Rush Was Terrific. The great basilica, popularly sup- posed never to have been quite full, | was overflowing with humanity. When | the doors of St. Peters were opened | the inrush of people was _ terrific; many who started from the bottom of | the steps outside were lifted off their feet and carried into the cathedral. It was a great human torrent let loose, thousands of people rushing and | squeezing amid screams, protests, | gesticulations and cries for help. But once in the whirlpool there was no escape, and the compactness of the | crowd proved to be the safety of those | caught in it. Women fainted in com- | paratively large numbers, and even men were overcome by the heat, but | no serious accidents were reported. | Afier their entrance the people had | further , Long Hours of Waiting, and it is computed that the majority | were on their feet altogether ten | hours, five before the ceremony and! another five while it lasted. Inside the Vatican palace there was no less movement and bustle as the | papal procession composed of about | 500 persons was formed. ‘The pope! seemed to be the only tranquil one among them all. The procession was | a long time in getting under way, but afterward, as it moved through the| magnificent halls and corridors of the Vatican it recalled former days when all was color and picturesque- ness within the palace. The central figure in the long cortege was Pius X., borne in the sedia gastatoria. His heavy white robes and the red and) gold miter were worn without an ef- fort. The procession proceeded to the | door of the basilica, and when the gleaming cross which preceded the cortege was seen it was Greeted With Great Applause. On the appearance of the pontiff himself it seemed as though the peo- ple would seek to carry him in their arms, so great was their enthusiasm. Cries of “Pius, our pope, our father,” and “Long live Pius X.,” were raised notwithstanding the large placards posted all over the basilica saying: “Acclamations are forbidden.” The cries continued until the pontiff was compelled to rise and bless the mul- titude, and at the same time made 4 sign for more reverential behavior. The procession then proceeded, the pope’s face meanwhile illuminated with a smile. 4 The scene presented on his mount: ing the throne formed a magnificent picture to which no pen could do jus- tice. From the throne Pius X., sur- rounded by his suite, walked to the high altar. The Appearance of the Pope ; in that elevated position called forth another burst of enthusiasm. The pope then blessed the altar, and after say- ing the “indulgentiam,” the maniple, a symbol of the cord with which Christ was bound on his capture, was placed, with great ceremony, upon tne pope’s arm. Returning from the erypt, Cardinal Macchi placed upon the shoulders of the pope the pontifical pallium and attached it with three golden jeweled pins. Mass was then celebrated with great pomp and cere mony. Following this Cardinal Macchi performed the rite of incens- ing the pope. Upon the pope’s return to the throne the cardinals offered their last obedi- ence to the pontiff, kissing his hand and feet, and being embraced by him twice in turn. The holy father then walked to the shrine of St. Peter for the culminating rites of the extremely Fatiguing Ceremony. Cardinal Deacon Segna then praised the pontiff’s miter and Senior Cardina/ ‘ ro and this drew the attention of other spectators who rushed to the walk to see what was going on below. The walk became overcrowded and 200 feet of it fell to the sidewalk, tweniy feet below. There were 3,000 persons sitting in the left field bleachers and the roar made by the falling timbers Caused a Panic. The spectators made arush down the stand and into the field. Men and boys climbed over one another in an effort to escape and several persons were badly hurt in the crush. The 10,000 persons within the grounds crowded around the injured. Ambulances, wrecking wagons and street cars soon carried the injured home or to the hospitals. The street was spotted with blood and it looked like a field of battle. An examination of the walk after the accident showed that many of the wooden supports, which extended three feet beyond the walk, were rot- ten. The coroner will make a thorough investigation. PREMIER FIRED AT. Attempt Is Made Upon the Life of the French Prime Minister. Marseilles, Aug. 11. — As Premier Combes was returning yesterday af- ternoon to the prefecture from a ban- quet given by the “Friendly Society of Teachers,” as which M. Pelletan, min- ister of marine, and Henri Brisson, ‘deputy for Marseilles, and a number of senators and deputies were pres: ent, two pistol shots were fired at the carriage in which he was riding. The premier was untouched and none of ‘those accompanying him were hurt. The attempt upon the life of the | president of the ministry caused great ‘excitement and the crowd pointed out to the police the author of the attempt a man dressed in fisherman’s clothes His companion drew a knife, but the police Quickly Disarmed Him. The police had much difficulty in protecting the man who had fired the shots from the crowd. He struggled desperately but was soon overcome, handcuffed and taken to the’ prefecture where M. Combes had already arrived. The first interrogation of the prisoner took place in the presence of the pre- mier. The man said his name was Sanviere Picolo. He spoke very bad French with a strong Italian accent. He denied that he had fired the shots, but when searched a revolver was found with two chambers recently fired. It is believed that Picolo and his companion, who had effected his escape during the confusion, are both dangerous anarchists. The police are aware of the presence in Marseilles of a number of other anarchists. Cigarmaking Increases. ‘ Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 11.—Collectoy Ellerman reports that for the fiscal year ending July 1, a total of 10,9861 645 cigars were manufactured in North and South Dakota. This is an increase ws id THE CORONATION CERE- MONIES. COLLAPSES WHILE SAYING MASS HEAT AND BAD AIR IN THE CHAPEL CONTRIBUTE TO RESULT. FEELS WEAVY CARES OF OFFICE INTIMATES STY PIUS SEEMS TO HAVE GROWN MANY YEARS OLDER. Rome, Aug. 12. -4 Just a week has elapsed since the election of Pius X.,. and he has been already overcome by the unaccustomed strain of his pont! fical duties. Yesterday morning he fainted while at mass. His collapse is considered to be due to heart weak- ness aggravated by fatigue. The pope has been over-exerting himself to such an extent that his naturally strong constitution was un- able to bear the strain put upon it by the coronation ceremonies. Such has been the effect upon his nerves that he has been unable to sleep for whole nights, while numerous receptions. Monday made matters worse. Monday night his holiness was very much agitated, but yesterday morning . he still insisted upon admitting to hear his mass Venetians who had journeyed to Rome purposely to at- tend the coronation. They numbered about 300. When the mass began in the Paul- ine chapel the air was vitiated with the temperature above 90 degrees. Pope Pius was seen to Grow Paler and Paler, finally throwing out his hand as though’ seeking support. He would have fallen had not Mgr. Brossan, his private chaplain, been quick to catch him. It is impossible to describe the con- fusion and alarm among the worship- ers while the pope lay motionless ard unconscious with: his eyes closed. Fortunately, among the Venetians present was Dr. Davenzia, who for years has been the pope’s attending physician at Venice, but who had been called only once during that time. Dr. Davenzia gave the pontiff immediate assistance, while messengers tele- phoned tor Dr. Lapponi. The latier rushed to the Vatican but did not ar- rive until the pope had been restored. The jpe, after taking some medi- cine to calm his heart and nerves, was able to lunch, afterward taking a sleep lasting two hours and a half. On awakening he felt much refreshed Audiences Suspended. Although the pope was much better in the afternoon, Dr. Lapponi, whe visited him again, thought it more prudent for his holiness not to leave his apartment and not to go into the garden of the Vatican, as he desired. The doctor further insisted on a sus- pension of audiences. The pope retired earlier than usual, saying that he felt quite recovered. His intimates, however, say that he is much changed since his election and seems to have grown years older. His sisters at Venice were much alarmed over the news of his indisposition and have decided to come to Rome to at- tend him. Vannutelli for Secretary. London, Aug. 12.—The Catholic Her- ald announces that Cardinal Vannutelli will be papal secretary of state. BULGARIAN OUTRAGES Equal to Worst Deeds Ever Committed by the Turks. London, Aug. 12.—The Times prints a dispatch from Constantinople which says the palace officials there are dis- tracted by the continual receipt of bad news and the necessity of dispatching fresh troops.
