Sonday afternoon and the Pontiff
At rest.
e period of over. two weeksthat
pe Leo passedi i tbe sha.low of
death wis no less wonderful than
his lif-. His splendid battle against
disdhso was watched over with h)M
'pAthetic admiration and ended only
f r a series of tremendous of
"forts to conquer the weakness of
bis aged .frame by tho marvellous
'will power of his mind. Tb# pleuro
pneumonia, with which his Holliness
was suffering, was scarcely as re
sponsible for his death as that inov
itable decay of tissue which ensues
upon 98 years of life. The tested
steel which had bent so often before
human ills was bound to break at
last.
THE BODY OF THE POPE.
Monday night the emaciated and
lifeless form which held so brave a
spirit lay on the bed in the Vatican
beside which ahuost all the world
has prayed. The damask coverlet
rested lightly over the body, the Car
dinal's scarlet cape was about the
shoulders, while on his head had
6een placed the F apal hood of vel
)et, bordered with ermine. A white
bilk handkerchief was bound about
4.is chin, and in the hands which
9A,have blessed so many thousands had
een placed a crucifix. So Pope
Leo remained until Tuesday, watched
by uniformed officers of the Noble
Guard and rough clad Franciscan
pe4itentiaries, who kept a ceaseless
vigil.
RIIAND IN DEATH AS IN LIFE.
The Pope's final moments were
marke 1 by that same serenity and
.4devotion as when he was conscious;
tithat calm intelligence which is asso
ciated with his twenty-five years'
jP/2yontificate. His was no easy death.
rn hour before he died, turnin-, to
Dr. Lapponi atid his devoted valet,
io Centra, he murimured: "The
.'opain I suffer is most terrible." Yet
hi-i parting words were not of the
physical anguish that be sUf1ered,
upwere whispered benesdict ions up
~n the Cardinals andl his ntephewe,
who knelt at the bedside, and the
tlook of his almost sightless eyes
astowards the great ivory crucifix
tanging in thje dleath chamber.
P-~raotically all the Cardinals in
Rlome, kneeling at the bedside,
,watcbed the passage of his soul.
~Earlier in the day Cardinal Serasfino

I3ounlced the aibsolut iona in airticulo

quickened.
THlE PoPE'S SUCCESSOR.
'Meantime evenits of momentous
importance to Catholic Christenidom
were occurring. TIhe deal h of Pope
Leo meant the passinig of the si.
preme power into the hands of the
Sacred College of (Jnrdinals as its
temporay culstodlian durinig the in
terregnum.
The perfsct adminiist rative ma
chinery of the Church provided
agis the slightest interruption of
hegovening authority. As the
senior member of the Sacred College,
Cardinial Oreglia, to whomi the Pope
solsonly confided the interests of the
C)huieh, .has no0w becoime t he expon
ent of the Cardinals iuntil Pope
,Lqo's successor has beent elected.
This b)roughit forth ('ardinial Oreglia
,as the striking personality of the
hour.
THlE TEMPOIRARY POPE.
The Cardinal is thle exact ant ithle.
sis of Pope Leo, having none of thle
late Pontiff's sympathetic and baney
olet characteri8ties He comes from
a noble Piedinontese stock and his
nobility is shown in hi, haughty and
austere manner. He is not popular
among his colleagues or the Romans,
and. his bruqque manner has earned
him 4he title of "The Piedmont
Bear " He is tall and robust and
his 74 years are shown by the white
ness of his hair. His face has the
tawny hue of old parchment and is
deeply lined. Despite his austerity
the Cardinal's learning and piety are
universally recognized.
This is ,the man, for the time be.
ing,. who is practically Pope. It was
he who isstAed the orders to clear the
Vatican from intruders and brought
tranquillity out of the confusion im
mediately following Pope Leo's
death.
THE POPE's LAHF MOMENTs.
A round the Popo's bedside at the
tinal moment were the Cardinals,
relatives and the members of the
Papal Court. Before lapsing into
unconsciousness the dying Pontiff
feebly moved his lips, his last arti
culate words being those used in be
stowing a benediction.
Gradually the shawdow of death
upread over the Pontiff, his extremi
ties became cold, his features as
sumed the fixed rigidity of death,
and Dr. Lapponi noted his last flut
tering heart beats, which gradually
became slower and slower until they
finally stopped.
The news of the Pope's death
spread rapidly throughout Rome and
caused a most profound sensation.
The whole city was in mourning.
AFTEI THE POPE'S DEATH.
The occurrences in the death chan
bhr immediatly following the Pope's
demise were of impressive solemnity.
Couriers had been dispatched to
summon those who are dolegated to
peform the first religious offices to
ward the dead Pope, and soon the
chquting of the Franciscan monks
was heard as, two by two, in coarse
brown habits, and with sandalled
feet, they proceeded to the room in
which Leo lay dead. From time
immemorial the Franciscans have
been penitentiaries of St. Peter's.
Following them came the Noble
Guard, to watch over the Pontiff's
remains, the brilliancy of their uni
forms constrasting strikingly with
the sombre attire of the quaintly
robed monks and the solemn dig
nity ot the chamber itself. The only
sound heard was the measured obant
ing of the psalms of penitence, by a
group of monks kneeling beside the
couch of death.
Trhe body lay exactly as it was at
the moment of the Pope's last ex
piring breath. A white veil was
thrown over the dead man's face,
while awaiting the solemn entrance
of the Oamerlingo, who was offiQially
to pronounce the Pontiff actually
dead.
ROME noU5ED).
The news, "The Pope is dead,"
soon flashed through Rome and the
calm of .the.afternoon was brokeni by
the rapidly gathering crowd around
the Vatican, whose quick movementi
an't tense feeling were in such con
trast t.o the calm pervading all
wvithpin.
TiHE DIsoRD 01F THlE fELLrs.
Th'e quiet of the evening Truesday
was' broken by a cho(uns such as the
world has seldom heard. On the
st roke of 8, all of Rome's four hun
dred churches comimencedl to tol
bells for the passing of the soul o
Leo XI11. From the seveni hillsi anc
from every quarter of the city wvhicl
contained churebes came the con
slant clangin)g, tunt il all was one vasH
reverberation. The harshi jingle o
the smaller chapel bells, st.rikinj
quickly and tiJore often, was no
drowned by the solemn d rakes tha
came itn mourning mear,urn from the
great dlome of St. Peter's. It was al
if a great fire raged and every bel

PRONOUNOINo 'rHE POPE DEAD.
The impressive ceremonial of
recoguizirig,the death of . the Pope
ocourred Tuesday morning, followed
by, the embalmitig of the body.
All the Cardinals present in Rome,
numbering twenty nine, assembled at
the Apostolic Palace to view' the re.
mains of the late Leo XIII and to
officially pronounce him dead.
Within the death chamber the
body lay with a white veil over the 0
face, mn the bed, surrounded by
Franciscan penitentiaries, while out
side the Nnble Guard maiiitained a
solmni vigil. The profound stlence- (
was only broken by the chanting of a
prayers for the dead. Into t his soletin L
presence caine the mourning proces. ]
sion of Cardinals, who, knoeling, t
silently prayed. U
The white veil was removed from I
the dead man's face, revealing the a
cameo-like features of the departed c
Pope, rendered sharper and more
transparent, by death. So life like
was the body that those presnt. half
expected Leo to raise his hand in the
familiar gesture of blessing.
A moment of breathless silence en.
k3lid, and thite the Cardinal Cater
lingo, taking the a4perosiuIm,
sprinkled the late Pontiff with holy
water aiid said in a firm voice:
"Groacchino,'' (the Christian name
of the d1eceased Holy Father.) When
there was no answer the same word
was repeated three times, louder and
louder. A fter which, turning to the
kneeling Cardinals, the Camierlingo
solemnly announced: "P'apa veve
wortuns est." ("The Pope is really
dead.")
THE FISnERMAN 's RINO.
Following the ceremony of the
recognition of the death of the Pope
by the Sacred College caine another,
shorter, but no less significant and
symbolic. On Leo's hager was the
famous fisherman's ring, which the
Camerlingo, with a whispered pray
er, drew gently off, and which later
will be broken in the presence of the
Cardinals, reset and presented to the
new Pope when he is elected.
BODY NOW LIES IN sTATE.
Rt.me, July 22.-Tonight t.he body
of Leo XIII lies in state in the Ba.
silica of St. Peter's. Beginning to
morrow at sunrise the people of
Rome and those of all nations now in
the Eternal City will be admitted to
pay the last farewell. Opportunity
for this solemn tribute will end on
Saturday.
Until 5 o'clock this afternoon the
remains of the dead P~ope lay in
the throne room or the Vatican,
where the leaders of the diplomatic
corps and ecivil wvorld were allowed
to pass the bier. The ceremonial to
ni ght, whlen the body~ w as conveyed
from the throne room to St. Peter's,
was one of the most striking of all
the obseqnies.
D)urintg the day the Congregation
of Cardinals met and decidted to hold
the conclave unditer the identical reg
ulations which obtained at the Con.
clave which electedi Leo.
Dr. Lapponi, in the course of the
day, p)resenlted to Cardintal Oregl ia a
report of thle autopsy wvhich was held,
I which showved that there was no sign
of cancer in the [Pope's body.
Some hours beofore sund(own St.

the throng of sight seers was pushed

FEMALE DRUMMERS.
One of Them Gets a Salary of Seven
Thousand Dollars a Year.
Chicago (3hronicle.
There are more than half a bun
dred women in the United States
who earn a living, and a good one
at that, by acting as "drummers," or
commercial travellers, for business
houses. One of the most. successful
of these saleswomen is not of the
opinion that all members of iher sex
could do as well as she has done.
"The women who have made a' suc
cesH on the road," she said recently,
"are the wowon who would have
made a success in any line of work
they took up. There is the rank and
file in every busmuus, but I think
that fewer women go on the road
tiow than did a few years ago.
"Men do not regard the woman
commercial traveller with favor, and
many houses employ them simply as
an advertisement to attract attention
to their goods and -make them talked
about in the small townf,. Other
houses refuse to have a woman repre
sent them on the road, and there are
still others who find that the per
cent. of sales by their feminine repre.
seutativos is as large, if not larger,
than by the men who made the same
territory.
"The work is bard, but less hard
than that of a clerk who stands all
day bohird a counter, and the pay
is better. Must travelling saleswo
men can make at least $1,000 a year,
an1d few clerks receive more than $15
a week. Some routes are pleasanter
than others, and it is not always
agreeable to make towns of less than
8,000 inhabitants, as the hotels are
likely to be poor, and there is noth
ing to do for amusement aftei the
day's work is over.''
There are a number of Minneapolis
vOwOmeI Who hmve made a success as
travelling saleswomen, but they were
endowed with the ability to make ri
success of anything they undortook
They have shrewd, capable businesiE
I brains, they are not afraid of work,
and they deserve the large checks
. they receive in payment for thE
1 equally large orders they send in c
their houses. Miss Pettibone, wbc
formerly made Minneapolis herhome
and who now represents a corsel
hoese, with headquarters in Chicago
receive a salary of about $7,000 t
year. Miss McCue formerly travellei
for i Chicago house, and was one o:
the few women selling flour. Shi
has recently abandoned breadstuffi
B for soap.
2 Among the travelling saileswomner

.Most of the traveling salewomnei
.represent some branch of womnn
n wear. T'he women who sell soap an
flour and salt are not bothered wit
large trunks or samples, and the
can make their sales at once if tb
