It Will Be Conferred Upon Arch- bishop Farley as the Insignia of_His Office—He Too, Tells About Seeing the Pope Re- cently. 2 . When Bishop Frederick Rooker, for- merly of Albany, whose father owned the Press and Knickerbocker in that elty, arrived to-day on board the Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse, en route to the Philippines, he told one of the most charming stories about Pope Leo XIII. that has ever come from the Vatican. It seems that three years ago, while eelebrating the ninetieth anniversary of his birth, there were many fetes in Rome for both ofd and young. On» party was made up of ten little chli- dren, Father Rooker said, who held a Uttle picnic outside the walls of the Vatican and near the walls of a chapel. One little girl suggested that they do something for the Holy Father. It was @ecided that each should pray to the {Blessed Virgin to take one year fem jee Ufe and give it to the Pope, so that the might live a round century. The hildren at once offered up the prayer before the Virgin's statue. A few days later the Pope heard of this sweet tribute to him and sent for ach of the little ones. | “It was very thoughtful of you, my ehildren, to pray for your Holy Father,” the Pope said, “and intercede for him with the Virgin Mary, but our Ged has wet the time for me to go to Him, and ft should not be changed. The time is @rawing near when I must answer his all, and I shall do It gladly. But you, my children, will live happler lives in the knowledge that you have at least done all in your power to extend my Ufe on this earth.” The Pope then gave the little ones Bis blessing. Bishop Rooker said that he had not Been Pope Leo for eight years until Just previous to his iHness. “He asked me,” sald the Bishop, “if thought that he had aged very much wince we had last met. I saiq that I did not think so, and I assured him ' that he looked just as young as when & had seen him eight years before. “‘T am not as young my son,’ he said, ‘as I was when you were here last. ‘The years are passing by and I have but a Uttle while to tarry here.’ * Bishop Rooker will reside at Jara when be réaches the Philippines.

He was very pale and the ‘vestments were heavy. He refused to allow any one to assist him in their re- ‘moval, however.

SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, July 7.—Two great events were decided at Sheepshead this afternoon. They were ‘the Lawrence ReaHzation, for three- year-olds, and the sécond half of the Double Event, for the younsters. After a selling race for youngsters had been won by Bath Beach at odds of 6 to 1 and Lux Casta had won a red-hot handicap from Higodon and Illyria, five ‘high-class two-yepr-olds went to the Post. Conjurer, a maiden from the stable of Capt. Sem Brown, was the choice at 9 to 5. He was ridden by Odom, and in a hot drive he won by a head from Gal- lant. Pulsus, on whom Madden relied, having scratched Allance, was beaten before half the journey was run. Gallant only a few days ago beat Broomstick in the Spring Stakes, and now Capt. Brown trots out one that seems nearly the equal of Broomstick. In the Realization Short Hose was a strong choice and was heavily backed. Africander was next in de- mand, while the Western colt, Savable, was third choice, The outsider was Cardinal Wolsey at 40 to 1. Africander won in a sensational finish, He was plainly the best horse, for he was interfered with on the turn and then ran into @ pocket in the stretch when there seemed no hope for him to ever get out. But Savable and Whorler rveakened in the last furlong and then Bullman rushed Africander after Golden Maxim. The way the colt closed dn Golden Maxim brought the crowd to Its fect shouting Itke mad. Inch by inch Afri- cander gained, and in the very last jump | & he managed to poke his nore im front. Savable ran a cracking good rao, going very easily to the stretch, where he looked to have a good chance. Afri- cander was lucky to win after tnter- ference and pocketing. ‘Africander, in winning the Realization Stakes at Sheepshead Bay this after- noon, broke the world’s record for one mile and five furlongs. The time, which was 2.45 1-5, was 21-5 seconds faster than the previous record held by Major Daingerfield, FIRST Five and « half furlongs.

M.—There has been no change in the Pope's, condition since the 2 o'clock bulletin was issued. There is still a chance that the worst may occur at any moment, notwithstanding the alleviation. tollowing the operation. Be: His physicians, Lapponi and Mazzoni, decided early to-day that in” order to make the closing of the Pontiff’s life as free from pain as possible it would be necessary to make a puncture of the pleura and drain the lung cavity of the fluid which had gathered there and which was exercising se vere pressure on the lungs. The liquid reduced the breathing capacity by clogging the air spaces of the lungs, and this in turn threw more work upon the heart, which produced great exhaustion besides causing consid? erable pain to the distinguished patient, aes OPERATION A COMPLETE SUCCESS. At 3.45 this afternoon a bulletin was issued announcing the complete success of the operation. It said as follows: . “The test puncture of the pleura has been made and 800 grams of liquid have been taken off. A rapid examination showed that some mucous waé rattling in the lung which waa originally affected. “The Pope underwent the operation with courage. His general condition is now better and he is resting. “LAPPONL, “MAZZONI.”* When the 800 grams or grammes of liquid, equal to about one and one-half pints, were draw off the air spaces of the lungs became’unham — pered and the Pontiff was able to breathe quite naturally. The heart action: became more regular and there was marked and immediate improvement, Shortly before the operation the Pope remarked to those around him: “I thank God that He has vouchsafed to me the boon of being able to say good-by to all. 1 love you all; but 1 am tired and am glad to go.” MAZZONI GIVES UP HOPE. wists But while the Pope is now resting easily Mazzoni said this afternoon | that the end has been delayed only a little. He gave up all hope of saving | his life. The dissolution, he said, might come in the night. “But his disease is full of surprises,” said the doctor, “and his hol ness may even live three days longer.” By the Pope’s express desire all his relatives were called to see him to-day. The scene was most touching. His nephews, to whom he has been a real father, entered the room, sobbing. His Holiness soothed them, saying: “I feel the moment approaching when I must leave you. Say our last good-by. I am about to enter But do not grieve for me. 1 am about to enter my real eternal life. happiness.” Before leaving the room they all kissed the hand of the Pontiff rever ently, fearing it was for the last time. HE IS RESIGNED TO DIE. j When Dr. Mazzoni went this morning to the Vatican Dr, Lapponi made a full report to him as to how the Pope had passed the night. Then both entered the sick-room. Pope Leo smiled benevolently at Dr, Maa zoni, but seemed not to have sufficient strength to speak. The doctor asked: “How is Your Holiness?” To this inquiry the” Pontiff, in a faint voice, replied: “I have no illusion and am resigned,” Then he raised his eyes, while his lips moved, evidently in prayer. The Pope this morning expressed the desire of again taking com- munion, notwithstanding the fact that he received the last communion on Sunday and extreme unction yesterday evening, Mgr. Marzolini, one of the chamberlains, therefore performed the ceremony. The Pope showad great serenity, repeating that he felt quite prepared to leave the world. In ¢ of this, he now and then expressed the hope that he might recover. In the great basilica of St. Peter an immense throng kneels weeping and praying for the passing Pontiff. It would seem that over half the. ‘ population of Rome is congested in the streets surrounding the Vatican - waiting for the latest news from the death chamber. ¥ RAMPOLLA STILL HAS HOPES.
