POPE LEO 0YIN6. Attack of Pneumonia Saps His WoRderfiri Vitality-Waiting for the End-Mind Clear to the Last. *. Rome, July 4.--It appears that the condition of the Pope became suddenly worse after yesterday's drive in the Vatican gardens, when, notwithstand? ing the feet that the temperature was 96" degrees Fahrenheit, he caught cold and it settled in his chest and head, producing shortly afterwards diffuse bronchial catarrh, accompanied by a slight cough, thirst, lassitude and watery eyes. Fortunately, up to the present, no fever has developed, not even increased heat, and there has been no acceleration of the pulse, which is rather weak. All the efforts Sf'Dr. Lapponi tend to combat the catarrh and to prevent its further spiead, especially its development into bronchitis or inflammation of the lungs. Borne, July 5.-The Associated Press correspondent saw Dr. Mazzoni this afternoon on his return from consulta? tion at Pope Leo's bedside. The doc? tor said : 4 'The situation this time is certain? ly very grave, in view of the great age of the patient and his state of extreme weakness. However, the case is not yet desperate, especialJay with a man having such unexpected reserves of energy and vitality which, at the ?age o? 93, is indeed astonishing. The ex aOc definition of the Pope's' illness is senile adynamic pneumonia,, but his Holiness has not the least idea that he is attacked by any organic disease. In fact, he was not in bed when I went ts the Vatican, but was seated in his usual arm- chair, where I am accus? tomed to see him every time I visit the ?SaJace. He believes that the oppres? sion on his chest and the accompany? ing difficulty of breathing are merely the results of extreme weakness. As s#on as be saw me he repeatedly. re? quested me to turn my attention to the best means of restoring his strength, which, he said, Was all he required except -a little ?resh air. Now and then the Pope has recourse to his inveterate habit of snuff-taking, saying that he finds it very refreshing. "The weakness of the patient's pulse and his short, irregular breath? ing, gradually approaching to gasping, are the only externa:! indications of a serious nature, but, as I said before, the Pope tliis morning was full of spirit and would not take a grave view of his case. Whea I left him, he said : * ** Come again soon. I will try to eive you a better reception.' " TAKES THE LAST SACRAMENT. Rome, July 5-10 p. m.-During the | afternoon the strength of the Pontiff J began to fail rapidly and his condition became so critical that it appeared j that only a few hours of his life re- j mained to him. It was, therefore, seemed wise to advise him of his grave condition and this was done with ten- ; der precaution. Pope- Leo was thus ! prepared for his last Communion, which was administered tonight with the participation of all the Cardinals now in Rome and thev whole of the Pontifical Court. Rome, July 6-The correspondent of the Associated Press interviewed Dr. Lapponi during his brief absence from the vatican today. It was easy to read in the pale face the signs of anxious days and nights spent watch? ing his august patient, while bis words proved unmistakably how deep an af? fection he bears for Pope Leo. "Unfortunately,", said Br. Lapponi, ' * I cannot give you any really consol? ing news. I cannot share the optimism which is spreading today. The truth is that the pontiff's condition is sta? tionary, which means that it is very grave. 4 ' I will go so far as to say that al? though he may live for several days, ft- would be cherishing an illusion to think he may recover unless some un? foreseen crisis occurs. * His pulse has become, to use a medical term, v evanescent which means almost imperceptible. The pope, except during short periods of uneasi? ness, when his cough is troublesome, is generally bright and in gcod spirit and displays great force of character. ? *What surprises all who approach him is that there has; been no change in the lucidity of his intelligence which disease has not affected. For instance, not a single detail of the ceremony of 'the last communion es? caped the popeks observation. He spoke of it with great interest, recall? ing each personage who participated. "The worst symptom, apar? from the feebleness of the pontiff's pulse, is his low temperature, which is sta? tionary at 31 centigrade. He continues to take nourishment at short intervals, but not in such quantities as his weakness requires or his doctors wish. Nothing medical science can suggest and his organism can stand has been ?feft untried; for ii ns tance, oxygen, cutaneous revulsives, digitalis and caffein, which have also been injected, to produce more rapid effect. /*The disease, as announced in the first bulletin, is senile pneumonia in a torpid form, which is now at its maximum intensity, but which may have been unobserved before the pope. complained of any feeling of illness." Rome, July 7, 6.45 a. m.-A bulle? tin has just been issued. It says the Condition of the pope is stationary. After twice taking a raw egg and a little brandy he went to sleep. At 9 o'clock Dr. Mazzoni will visit his holiness again, and a new bulletin will then be issued. London, July 6.-President Loubet, the first president of the republic who has ever represented the French cation as the guest of the British court.- ar? rived in London from Dover soon aft? er 4 o'clock this afternoon and was greeted at the Victorian railway sta? tion by King Edward and the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the cabinet ainisters and a host of other distin? guished persons. Capt. Griffith, superintendent of the penitentiary, states thai with showers and a late fall he thought .Kat the State farms might make an average crop, although the outlook just now was considerably below the aver? age. ?rn MOB ANO MILITIA FIGHT. Conflict In Indiana Results in Seven Deaths-Twenty Said to be Wounded. Evansville, Ind., Jnly 6-Following four days of rioting and general law? lessness this city tonight saw the most terrible of its experiences with rioters. Seven persons dead and fourteen are known to be injured with at least that many more thought to be hurt. At 10.30 o'clock the members of Co. A, First regiment, Indiana national guard, after a days vigilance guarding the county jail and 100 deputy sheriffs under Sheriff Kratz, fired point blank into a mob of 1,000 men gathered on Fourth, Division, and Vine Streets, surrounding the - Vand erburg county jail and attempting its capture. From 7 o'clock this morning until the houV of tonight's catastrophe the crowd surged about the jail calling the militiamen vile names, assailing them with stones and berating the deputy sheriffs who guarded the jail. At 9 o'clock the mob gradually became more and more excited, its manifesta? tions of uneasiness more frequent, and at. 10 o'clock it was seen thau nothing could prevent an assault on the jail. At 10.30 o'clock the rioters- pressed slowly forward and innocent onlook? ers and the curious followed. Slowly they forced the militiamen back to? ward the jail until the alleyway be? tween Division street and the Stone building was reached. Then, the lead? ers with a bicycle in their front as a shield to the bayonets of .the soldiers, attempted to enter the alley and storm the alleyway entrance. Capt. Blum, of the national guard ordered a charge on the rioters. Gradually the crowd was forced back, "the soldiers using their bayonets and butts of guns. Suddenly a rioter fell. A soldier.tried to drag him to to his feet but before he could was assaulted by a rioter. Stones and boulders be? gan to fly through the air. A soldier Vas struck with a rock and fell. A rioter was knocked down with a gun butt and then a shot was fired. The one shot started a fusillade of musket ry and shotgun fire from the defend- j LouisvilleT^July 6.-Advices from Evansville say a serious clash occurred between the militia and the mob at about 10 o'clock tonight, the mob routing the militia. All kinds of ru? mors are afloat, but the most persis? tent are to the effect that two women and two children were killed and sev? eral on both sides wounded. - The mob practically controls the city and their intent seems-to be to burn Baptist town, "the negro settlement, before morning. The situation is critical. The South Carolina College. The South Carolina College Is round? ing out the first, century of its existence and will celebrate its centennial in Jan? uary, 1905. The College was chartered in 1801 and opened for active work in January, 1805. It owes its existence to a patriotic purpose, the education of all the youth of the State at a common center, "in order to promote the in? struction, the good order and the har? mony of the whole community," and it was built from a portion of the pro? ceeds of ? reimbursement made by the United States to South Carolina for ex? penses incurred in the Revolution. Dur? ing the century that is closing the Col? lege has contributed largely to the j statesmanship, the patriotism, the ! learning and the high moral standards 1 that have prevailed in South Carolina .-'nd her sister States. The roll of Col? lege Alumni contains the names of men who have become noted in all the pur? suits of life, both in peace and war. The exigencies of the. struggle between the States closed the college in 1863, ana the buildings were used as hospi? ta is for sick and wounded Confederates. Bat as soon as peace was restored the institution was reopened by the "Orr government" and enjoyed several years of success until it was overturned dur? ing the Radical regime. Since 1S80. how? ever, the college has been continuously open, and has educated hundreds of young men and a number of young women, who for some years have been permitted to partake of its advantages. Originally the College was known as I a~ literary institution, although from early times its?faculty contained scien? tists of great ability, but of late years its courses have; broadened out so as to embrace also technical scientific in? struction, instruction in law and a course in practical methods for teach? ers. ? President. Benjamin Sloan, the head of the Department of Physics and En? gineering, is a graduate of West Point, and. was a distinguished officer of ord? nance during the war between the States. His graduates in engineering ! are now occupying most responsible positions in different parts of the United States. Professor Joseph Daniel Pope, j dean of the Law Department, has had wide experience in government in the legislative halls of the" State and in the Secession Convention, and is recognized as high authority in law and in equity jurisprudence. Some of the other mem? bers of the faculty have had" dis linguished careers in this College, while others hai-e brought to it the best methods of colleges and universities se where. ^ The most recent and most important addition that has been made to the usefulness, of .the College is the estab : ishim/1 of scholarships to be given to one man-teacher* in each county who has taught at least one year. This is intended to offer the advantages of pro? fessional training to one who has al? ready gathered practical experience in direct contact with pupils in the school room and realizes the difficulties that must be surmounted. Professor Ward law, who is at the head of the depart ment%in pedagogy, is eminent in his profession both as a student and as a practical feather and school superin? tendent. The College is situated at the capital of the State and affords to the student opportunity for studying the workings of the government in a direct way. It iis accessible from all parts of the State and is in-a healthful locality. The re? ligious advantages are exceptional be? cause each of the principal denomina? tions has a prosperous congregation in Columbia. ^ Expenses are moderate. There is a-suite .of three rooms for each pair of students, warm in winter and ?weli ventilated in summer. A large campus, a fine gymnasium and an ex? cellent athletic field afford ample op? portunity for exercise. The College is increasing in useful? ness and in prosperity with the in? creased prosperity of the State, and the prospects are that with the new century this institution will sarpass the ad? mirable record it has aiready made. Mr. J. M. Woodley of Providence has been appointed ? member of the County Board of Educatian to succeed Mr. E. E. Thornwell, who has resign A HOG'S MOUTH. The Way It Enables tlie Animal te Eat Hickory Xnts. "People often wonder how it is that a hog can get nil the kernel out of a hickory nut, or any other kind of nut for that matter, without swallowing any of the shell/' said a man from the country, "but as a matter of fact there is nothing mysterious about the proc? ess. Mind you, hogs don't swallow any of these harder substances. They get rid of them, and then it is just as easy for them to get rid of the shell of a nut as it is for a man or a squirrel. You might think because a hog crusbos the nut into small fragments that he would necessarily swallow a good por? tion of tlie hull. But he doesn't do an? such thing. "It is a conceded fact among men who know anything about the subject that the horse is the most perfectly con? structed animal in the world, consider? ing the purposes for which the horse is used and its method and habits in life. But I want to put in a good word for the hog when it comes to the thing of cracking and eating nuts without get? ting any of the harder substances into the stomach. The horse has very fine teeth: The back teeth particularly are finely constructed with a view of ena? bling the horse to crush its food well before passing it into the stomach. These heavy grinders, heavily set in the horse's jaw, are looked upon as man-els. So they are. "But what's the matter with the teeth of the hog? What's the matter with that marvelous process by which they separate the kernel of the nut from the hull? It has occurred to me that this is no small achievement, and nature is at least entitled to some sort of tribute for her skill in making this result possible. In the first place the hog's tongue is more sensitive than would be supposed, and it can easily detect the harder from the softer sub? stances. By some sort of process the hog is able to work the bits of a hicko? ry nut hull over to the sides of its mouth, the tongue being used for the purpose, and here they are thrown out at the corners. Probably you have no? ticed that the corners of a hog's mouth are somewhat different from the cor? ners of the mouths of other animals. The lines of the mouth do not end so pointedly, and hence it is a much easier thing for the hog to work the harder substances which he does not care to swallow out through theses little open? ings."-New Orleans Times-Democrat A FEW WHYS.

Cards Disclose the Man. "I wish I had not played bridge with Mr. X.," said a girl recently. "I thought him so nice before, and now my liking for bim has quite gone. He was so keen about trifles, insisted upon every forfeit, questioned the score and seem? ed so annoyed when he lost, and yet the stakes were very small, and he was only out a few dollars; so, of course, it was not the money. It must have been the disposition of the mais coming out under provocation, and the test did not show him up to advantage. Now, Mr. 31, the other man at the ta? ble, was so good natured and such a gentleman in bis play that I quite like' bim, although I never thought him at? tractive before." All games of competition may be said to assay certain characteristics, but the most crucial test seems to be card playing, and bridge is responsible for many a coolness resulting from self betrayal at the green table.-New York Tribune. r *- 1 - Pickle.

MIXED THE LETTERS, Serious Result of a Fool Man Trying to Be Faceiions. A well known citizen of Clay Center had been invited to an evening party. He wanted to go, but his wife declared that she had no gown suitable for the occasion and asked him to send "re? grets" to their hostess. The man went down to his office and penned this face? tious pole of declination: "We regret that your kind invitation must be declined for all the convention? al reasons, but the real reason is that half the family has nothing to wear. My wife's latest dress is over three weeks old. and her'hat is twelve hours out of date. You will appreciate the hopelessness of the occasion and ex? cuse us.'* He thought this pretty good, and he determined to write a note to his wife also explaining that he would not be at home for an early dinner, as she had asked him. He said in this note: "I have turned down your invitation because I am going out to another even? ing party where the guests are not ex? pected to wear anything of importance. Sorry I won't be there to kiss you good night." And then the fool man carelessly sent his wife's note to the hostess and the hostess' note to his wife.-Clay Center Times. "Mercuriale Swords." When was lt usual to insert running mercury in the backs of sw?rds? This was a* comparatively common practice among the Italian, French and Spanish swordmakers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but it was more of a fancy than anything else, for it never came into general use. It was not, of course, used for rapiers or the lighter kind of swords, but for the heavier cutting swords. The method was to cast the blade rather broader at the .back than usual with a hollow running down it. This was half filled with quicksilver and sealed up. The idea was that when a blow was struck with such a sword the quicksilver would fly to the point and so increase the weight of the blow. This theoretical advantage, however, did not at all counterbalance the gen? eral clumsiness of the weapon and its unhandiness in guarding, and so the mercuriale swords, as they were celled. . from "which their- ingenious inventor hoped so much, were rather military curiosities than practical successes. London Answers. A rae rican Trade Long Ago. To the notices which we have from time to time published of the favorable posture of trade we may add a grati? fying view of our commerce with the United States. Its extent is probably more considerable than our readers would imagine. The exports from Scotland of manufactured goods to va? rious parts of the Union will this year amount to about ?2,000,000. The mag? nitude of the sum wi]*' appear more surprising when we consider the re? strictions which prohibit us from tak? ing in exchange agricultural produce.

INTENTIONS THAT COUNT. Only Those Pct Into Practice Anionnt to Anything. The paving ?f the road to a very un? comfortable place is said to be com? posed of good intentions.

We all know peo:>ic whose houses burn when they arc "just going to" insure, who lose a cow or a horse when-.they are "just go'::::; to" mend the fence oi close the gate, who are "just going to" buy stock when it goes up like a rocket, who are "just going to" pay a note when it goes to protest, who are "just going to" help a neighbor when he dies, who are "just going to" send some flowers to a sick friend wheu it proves too late. In fact, they are "just going to" do things ail their lives, but never gee them started "To be always intending to live a new life, but never to find time to set about it," "says Tillotson, "is as if y man should put off eating and driukinj: until he is starved to death."

It would add thousands of good deeds to daily happenings, suv?' many finns from bankruptcy through bad debts, paint hundreds of pictures only dreamed of, write books without number and straighten out half tht tangles of our complicated social life. The habit of putting off disagreeable duties is responsible for much needless unhappiness, for these bugbears weigh on the mind and prevent the satisfied content that comes from duty well per? formed. Most tasks promptly under? taken prove less difficult aban we antic? ipated, and the joy of accomplishment often compensates for any hardship ex? perienced.

The Court of General Sessions, with Judge Ernest Gary presiding, conven? ed Monday morning, but was immedi tely adjourned until 9.30 o'clock next day. The recess was ordered by Judge Gary at the request of a number of court officials, witnesses, jurors and others who wished to take advantage of the general holiday observed by all business houses in the city. The re? cess worked no hardship to anyone, except the taxpayers of the county who will foot the bills for payment of jurors, witnesses, bailiffs, etc., who were present Monday. The criminal docket is not heavy, and all cases can be disposed of with ease this week. Nevertheless, there has been some unfavorable criticism over the adjournment of cou~t when it was not a matter of necessity. The first case taken up was the State vs. A. H. Weeks, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, which was continued from the last term. This case grew out of the arrest of Edgar Jones by Policeman Weeks for disorderly conduct on Jan? uary 31st last. In making the arrest Officer Weeks used considerable force and Jones was badly bruised. Jones was tried' in the Mayor's court, and was acquitted by a jury. He then prosecuted Weeks, and the trial re? sulted in acquittal. Weeks was de? fended by Maj. Marion Moise, and L_ D. Jennings assisted the solicitor wish the prosecution. The State vs. Ira U. Tomlinson was taken up next, and the verdict brought in after court adjourned, and opened this morning, was not guilty. The grand jury reported on the fol? lowing bills : The State vs. John Serious, bas? tardy ; true billi The State vs. Johnnie Mayrant, lar? ceny of live stock ; true bill. The State vs. John Dozier, alia& Sharper Dozier, larceny of live stock : true bill. The State vs. Samuel Williams, as? sault of a high and aggravated nature r true bill. Ira U. Tomlinson, assault and bat? tery with intent to kill ; true bill. There being no further bills the grand jury made the final presentment yesterday afternoon. Presentment of Grand Jury. To His Honor Judge Ernest Gary, presiding at the Court of General Sessions for Sumter county, at the summer session : We, the Grand Jury, make this our final presentment for this session : We have passed upon and returned to the court all bills handed to us. We have during recess of court visited by committees the chain gang, offices, etc. The water works in the Court House building are in bad repair and we re? commend th?t same be repaired at once or a new system put in. At the next regular session of court we will make our final examination of county offices, and request that ali magistrates' dockets be in the hands of the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners at the call of the Grand Jury. We beg to call the attention of the proper officers to the time and ex? pense wasted at every session of court by the absence of witnesses. Thanking the court 'and the Solici? tor for courtesies received we make this our final presentment for this session. J. G. R. Wilder, Foreman. WANT ANOTHER DISPENSARY. Agitation for Establishment of a Second Dispensar Renewed. At the regular meeting of the coun? ty board of control yesterday a com? mittee of merchants and property own? ers doing business on North Main street were present and requested that the dispensary be moved from its present location in the Tuomey Block to a store to be built for the dispen? sary on Main street north of Hampton avenue. They offered a store building: as large as the one now occupied by the dispensary at a material reduction of rentf and furthermore urged that it was no more than a matter cf justice to the business interests of North Main street that the dispesary be lo? cated in that part of the business dis? trict, other parts of the town having for so long enjoyed the "benefits" of the dispensary." Messrs. R D. Lee and C. L. Cuttino appeared and pro? tested against the location of the dis? pensary on North Main street. Mrs. Tuomey, the owner of the Tuomey Block, was represented and offered tc? reduce the rent of the store now oc? cupied by the dispensary to ?200 per year, and to lease the store at that price for a term of five years. The North Main Street committee also re? quested the board of control to estab- - lish a second dispesary, and to locate it on North Main street, if they wculd ? not move the dispensary now estab? lished. The Board, after full consideration, decided against removing the dispens? ary from its present location, and on the proposition to establish another dispensary they decided to mak? no decision, but to refer the matter 'lt' the State Board of Contrai. If the State Board thinks another dispensary should be established in this city, the county board will acquiesce and fbi? request of the North Main street mer? chants, will be granted, but if the State Board decides adversely the mat? ter will be ended for the time being.
