The people in the basilica had in the meantime become impatient, and when {he 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 people would seek to: carry him in their arms so great was their _enthusiasm. Criee of “Pius, our Pope, our father!” and “Long live Pius * were raised, not- withstanding the large placards posted throughout the basilica saying “Acclama- tions are forbidden.” I.eaflets to the same ect were distributed among the crowd. The cries continued ungil the Pontiff was compelled to arise and bless the multi- tude and at the same time he made a sign for more reverential behavior. Bilence was enforced when the’choir announced its entrance with the “Ekgesacredos Mag- nus,” which was accompanied by the sweet notes of the silver trumpets. TRANSITORY GLORY ACHIEVED BY MAN i§ ILLUSTRATED A was then carried out - he master of ceremonies knelt three tim\ '8 before the Pontff, each time light- ing 1t handful of hemp which surmounted a2 sifver torch and as the flame flashed and weent out he said: “Holy’ father, thus passeth away the glory of the world.” quaint ceremony The procession then pmmedur, the Pope's face meanwhile illuminated by a smile. At the chapel of the sacrament there was another balt and his Holiness left the sedan chair and prayed at the altar. On re-entering the chair he was carried to the chapel of 8St. Gregory, where he officiated at mass, being as- sisted by Cardinals Macchi, Di Pietro, | Segna and Vannutelli. Then all the Car- dinals donned their silver capes and white mitres and the Pope was borne to the throne amid renewed acclamations and waving of handkerchiefs aud hats. Then was presented a magnificent pic- ture to which no pen could do justice. The central figure was the venerable Pontiff, seated on the throne. Two lines of Cardinals clad in silver and scarlet reached to the high altar, with its burden of -burning candles and sacred vessels. while around stood the papal guards, the | Pontifical court, monks and officials. The cathedral was flluminated with twinkling lights, while the marble columns and walls rendered the color scheme more vivid. Overhead was the most magnifi- cent dome in the world, up to which floated the harmony of the mucic. From the throne Pius X, surrounded by his suite, walked to the high altar. standing over the crypt of St. Peter, into which meanwhile Cardinal Macchi de- scended to pray. The altar was sur- mounted by a baldachino supported by four historic bronze pillars taken from the Pantheon. The appearance of the Pope in that elevated position called for another burst of enthusiasm. The FPore then blessed the altar, and, after saying the “Indulgentiagm” the maniple, a symbol of the cord with whidh Christ was bound on his capture, was placed. with great ceremony, upon the Pope’s arm. At the same time prayers for the coronation were recited by Cardinals Vannuteill, Mocennl, Agliardi and Satolli Returning “from the crypt Cardinal Macchl placed upon the shoulders of the Pope the Pontifical palium and attached it with three golden jeweled pins, say- ing; “Receive this sacred palium as a sym- bol of the fullness of the Pontifical office, in honor of Almighty God, the most glor- fous Virgin Mary, his mother; the blessed Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, and the holy Roman Catholic church. Mass was then celebrated with great pomp and ceremony, the voice of the Pope becoming gradually mere firm until it was even audible in the most distant corner of the immense church. Following this Cardinal Macchi formed whom he subsequently kissed three times on the cheek and chest, as did Cardinals Segna and Vannutelli. SENIOR CARDINAL DEACON BESTOWS THE TRIPLE CROWN On the Pope's return to the throne the Cardinals offered their last obedience to the Pontiff, kissing his hands and feet apd receiving embraces by him twice in return. The bishops and archbishops kissed his foot and right knee, while the abbots kissed only his foot. The Holy Father then walked to the shrine of St. Peter for the culminating rites of the ex- tremely fatiguing ceremony. The whole Sacred College gathered about the Pope, singing Palestrina’s *‘Corona Aurea Super Caput Ejus,” while the choir burst forth into song. Cardinal Macchi then recited the Paternoster, and offered the following prayer: Omnipotent and ever eternal God, dignitary of the clergy_and author of soverelgnty, grant thy servant, Plus X, grace to fruitfully govern thy church so that he, who by thy clemency, becomes and is crowned as father of kings and rector of all the faithful. through thy wise dispensatiop may govern weil. “Amen,” rang out from all corners of the Cathedral, from the choir, the peo- ple, the clergy and the patricians. Cardinal Deacon Segna then rajsed the Pontiff's mitre and senifor Cardinal Dea- con Macchl placed on the white head the triple crown. At this moment the church was filled with the ringing of bells, the blowing of silver trumpets, the triumphant strains of the choir and the acclamations of the multitude, which could not be repressed. When comparative silence had been re- stored Cardinal Macchi addressed the Pope in Latin as follows; Receive the tiara ormament. with three crowns. Remember thou art father of princes and kings. the rector of the world, the vicar on earth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. ““Amen” again burst forth from the con- course. 7 Pope Pius X was almost overcome and had scarcely strength left to impart the apostolic benediction. Cardinals Maceht and Segna granted plenary indulgence to all present and the procession then re- formed and left the basilica in the same form as it came. : The Pope was visibly fatigued and his right hand shook as he raised it time after time to bestow his blessing. When the ceremony was over all exits to the basilica were opened and within less than an hour the hall was empty. POPE EXHAUSTED BY THE ORDEAL OF HIS CORONATION Strong as Pius X is physically he sup- ported the ordeal of his coronation to-day perhaps with less fortitude than did Leo XIII when he was crowned, although ie0 was merely -a shadow of a man. But he possessed will which nothing could break. This evening when the Pon- tiff recelved the Duke of Parma he said to him: Not counting the election, to-day was the most tremendous experience of my life, I must find & way to stop the noise in the church. It n ofense against. religion, Although there was a tremendous crowd per- LAST WEEK Midsummer Clearance Sale Large discount S. & G.

Premier Zanardelli, although not well, re- mained in Rome purposely to direct the policy of government. He left immedi- ately after the coronation, saying: Rome and Italy have given proof to the world of the freedom of the church. The officers of the Vatican refused dip- lomatists accredited to the Quirinal any facilities for being present at the coron- ation. Nevertheless, some of them were there as civilians, through the courtesy of their colleagues of the French em-! bassy to the Vatican. Besldes Cardinal Gibbons, there were present at the coronation to-iav Mon- signor Kennedy and the entire American college party, the Archbishop of Manila, Monsignor O'Connell, rector of Washing- ton University, and Very Rev.

The Car- dinal will spend a few days in rest. To-night all of the churches and re- liglous institutions and manv private houses were {lluminated in honor of the occasion. The Pontiff was so fatigued by the cer- emony that the meeting of the consisto which was to have been held to-morrow, was postponed. . e e Services at St. Francis. Bervices last night at St. Francis Church were held especially in honor of the crowning of the new Pontiff, Plus X. Rev. Father Caraher preached an eloquent sermon, advotating increased loyalty to the spiritual head of the church and urg- ing his hearers to make that loyalty ap- parent by sedulous care for their religlous duties and by leading lives of truth, purity and sobriety.

INNOCENT MAY SUFFER. “Tt 1is, of course, inevitable that where vengeance is taken by a mob it should frequently fall on innocent people and for the wrong done In such a case there is no remedy. But even where criminals are reached, the wrong done by the mob to the community itself is well nigh as great. Especially is this true where the Iynching is accompanied with torture. There are certain hideous sights which when once seen can never be wholly erased from the mental retina. The mere fact of having seen them implies degra- dation. This is a thousandfold stronger when, Instead of merely seeing the deed, the man has participated in it. Whoever, in any part of our country, has ever tak- en part in lawlessly putting to death a criminal by the dreadful torture of fire must forever after have the awful spec- tacle of his handiwork seared into his braln and soul. He can never again be the same man. “This matter of lynching would be a terrible thing even If it stopped with the lynching of men guilty of the inhuman and hideous crime of rape; but as a mat- ter of fact, the lawlessness of this type never does stop and never can stop in such fashion. Every violent man in the are already proceeding community is encouraged by every case | of lynching, in which the lynchers go un- punished, to take the law into his own hands whenever it suits his own con- venience. In the same way the use of torture by the mob in certain cases is sure to spread until it is applied more or less indiscriminately in other cases. The spirit of lawlessness grows with what it feeds on, and when mobs with impunity lynch criminals for one cause, they are certain to begin to lynch real or alleged criminals for other causes. “In the recent cases of lynching over three-fourths were not for rape at all, but for murder, attempted murder and even less heinous offenses. USE OF TORTURE. “Moreover, the history of these recent cases shows the awful fact that when the minds of men are habituated to the use ot torture by lawless bodies to avenge crimes of a peculiarly revolting description, other lawless bodies will use torture in order to punish crimes of an ordinary type. “Surely no vatriot can fail to see the fearful brutalization and debasement which the indulgence of such a spirit and such practices. inevitably portend. Surely, all public men, all writers for the dally press, all clergymen, all teachers, all who in any way have a right to address the public should with every energy denounce such crimes and to support those engaged in putting . them down. As a people we claim the right to speak with peculiar emphasis for freedom and for fair treat- ment of all men without regard to dif- ference of race, fortune, creed or color. ‘We forfeit the right so to speak when we commit or condone such crimes as those of which I speak. “The nation, like the individual, cannot commit a crime with impunity. If we are guilty of lawlessness and brutal violence, whether our guilt consists in active par- ticipation therein or in mere connection ana encouragement, we shall assuredly suffer later on because of what we have done. The cormerstone of this republic, as of all free governments, is respect for and obedience to the law. Where we per- mit the law to be defied or evaaed, whether by rich man or poor man, black man or white man, we are by just se much weakening wne bonds of our civili- zation and increasing the chances of its overthrow and of the substitution there- for of a system in which there shall be violent altercations of anarchy and tyranny.

Their Keeper. Bind Him Hand and Foot and Compe! Him to Open Safe for Keys. With One Hand Released to Work Combination Plucky Jailer Grabs His Gun and Gives Prisoners Battle. T CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 9.—Tom Horh, the condemned murderer of little Willle Nickoll, and Jim McCloud, in custody for postoffice robbery, escaped from the county jail at 8:40 o'clock this. mornigg after overpowering Deputy Sheriff Proe- | tor, but were recaptured after a brief but exclting chase. The ringing of fire bells brought hundreds of armed citizens to the scene, and it locoked for a time as though a lynehing would take place, but the escapes were hurriedly brought back to the jail and placed in their cells be- fore the crowds could into & mob. The men did not get but two blocks away before they were retaken. The plot which led to their escape was weil planned. Horn and McCloud were the only prisoners confinea on the upper fioor of the jail. They occupled steel cells, o arranged that communieation was comparatively easy. This morning MeCloud complained to Deputy Proctor of being i1l and requested some medicine and a glass of water. Upon returning with the articles asked for Proctor discoverad that the men had lefs their cells, which | were not locked, and had walked to the end of the corridor through which they were allowed to exercise. When Proctor Popened the door to the corridor he was pounced upon by the two men and se- | curely bound with a cord which they had secured in some manner. Horn and Mec- Cloud demanded that he sive them his keys, and, although Proctor had them on his person, he replied that they were locked up in the safe. Proctor was then conducted to where the safe stood and directed to open it. The order was obeyed, but on opening the safe Proctor snatched from inside a gun and turned on the men. They were too quick for him, however, and soon bore him down. In the brief struggle Proctor fired his revolver at them four times, slightly wounding Me- Cloud. The shooting attracted the at- tention of Deputy Snow, who hastened to the scene, but was met at the doorway by McCloud, who had secured possession of a shotgun in some manner. SHow re- treated and Horn and McCloud escaped through a rear door of the jail, after binding the arms of Deputy Proctor. Me- Cloud secured the only horse in the Sheriff's stable and mounted the animal and started foward the west. Horn ran in the appoiite’ direction. ‘About this time Sheriff Smalley arrived on the scene and started in pursuit of McCloud, firing his revolver without effect. After a short chase McCloud sur- rendered. ' When Horn left the jail yard the fact that he wore no hat and carried a revolver attracted the attention of O. M. Elarich, who operates an amusement stand across the street. Eldrich gave chase, firing several shots at Horn, one of which grazed his neck. Horn, slightly wounded, turned and aimed his revolver at Eldrich, but the gun being of an auto- matic lock pattern, one with which Horn was unfamiliar, he was unable to dis- charge it, and, realizing his helplessness, Horn surrendered just as Eldrich was about to shoot again. When Eldrich ap- proached Horn the latter showed fight, | but was beaten into submission by his plucky pursuer. By this time numbers of officers and citizens had gathered at the spot, and Horn, bleeding from his wounds, Quiet pre- vails now and there is no probability of an attempt being made to lynch the jail breakers. e JAIL BREAK AT BUTTE. Six Prisoners Escape and but Two Are Recaptured. BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 9.—Two prisoners under sentence of death for murder, an- other awaiting trial on a charge of mur- der, a stage robber wanted in Wyoming and two highwaymen escabed from the county jail here late this afternoon. The men who,_ escaped are: Charles Lénox and James Martin, convicted of murder; L. L. Felker, who escaped once before and has been tried twice for the murder of William Cunningham, his brother-in-law, and is awaiting a third trial; J. 8. Woods and Patrick Rodgers, held for robbery, and Frank Oestroff, wanted in Cheyenne for having held up a stage coach. The latter and Woods, who had planned the delivery, were caught within an hour after they escaped. Oestroff complained of bemg sick and a doctor was called in. When Jailer Dolan opened the corridor Oestroff drew a re- volver and compelled Dolan to deliver the cell keys. The other prisoners were lib- erated and coolly left the building by the main entrance. Oestroff and Woods were run down by horsemen and brought back to jail. Two posses were quickly organized and are now in pursuit of the others. ———e—————— GENERAL MILES IS GIVEN OVATION AT CUMBERLAND Civil War Veterans Cheer the Former Commander at the Railroad Station.

The attempt upon the life of the Prime Minister caused great excitement and the crowd pointed out to the police the author of the attempt, a man dressed in fisher-| man's clothing.
