Roma. —"Tngpthar in one, nil thing*

Thpsp word*, which Popp Pin* X,
adopted ** hi* motto In an encyclical
loaned on Augunt 10th, 1008, *U day*
after h* had boon elevated to the pon
tificate, were on hi* lipa iui he entered
the valley of death.
The end which came at 1:20 o'clock
wa* peaceful A few moment* before

For Several Days.
For aa Vera I day* he had been Buf

Tueeday hie pfivslclnna declared the
trouble waa of no great Importance
and ye*terday morning ren*aurlng re
port* were current.
The change came anddrnly during
the forenoon yesterday and early In
the afternoon those in ntlendamai an
nounced that death was imminent.
Klmllar attack* had been re*l*ted
with the aid of the pope* will power,
but deprh»*lon over the dash of arm*
In Euro|i* militated agatnat another
recovery.
At in o'clock last night the pontiff
•Kperloticed an attack of coughing
that greatly dtatreaaed him. lie could
not move in lied without asalalance
and the struggle he made to breathe
waa painful to witness
At Sepram* Moment.
Aa the supreme moment approached
the coughing ceased and the restlesa
neee which the doctors had been un
able to relieve disappeared. The fea
ture* of the patient, wiibdi hint given
evidence «.f hi* pain, renumed a nor
mal expression except for the inrrea*-

Tha Lips Moved.
The two slaters and the pope's seo
rslarte* could not rentratn their »oba
and their voice* seemed to bring back
the pontiff from the state of coma Into
Which he hod lapaed Hla eye* open
ed hi* lip* moved and It wa* plain
he wa* making an effort to Impart a
final blessing For a moment it seem
ed that dissolution had taken place
and then the lip* moved again.
"Together In on*, all thing* In
Christ." he whispered
L>r. Msrchlafava released the wrist
Which dropped pulseless on the pon
tiffs braast. and bent ovar the bed,
listening for a heart that was stilled
“It la all over," he an id. and reverent
ly kissed the pontiffs hand In turn
the others did the same, after which
they iptoned prayer* for the dead.
Immediately after the candle lights
flickered 1n all the window* of the
Vatican and the whole personnel of
the apostolic palace, with the permis
sion of the papal secretary filed by
tha body, klaatng tli* hand of the pon
tiff as thsv passed
Throughout Night,
Throughout ths night messages had
bs«n received from the heads of many
slates Inquiring the condition of his
holiness.
All were Immediately notified of his
death by Cardinal Merry del Val. The
Kalian premier. Signor Halandra, at
once ordered that the necessary meas
ures lie taken to guarantee the com
plete liberty of the provisional gov
ernment of the clmrrh and of the sa
cred college of cardinals, which Is the
temporary custodian of the supremo
power of the church pending the elec
tion of a pope.
The matter of a conclave was dis
cussed today. It Is said a majority of
the cardinals are In favor of holding
it In Koine as Is usual and further be
cause of the neutrality of Italy in the
present War Others, however, sug
gested that tt would be betetr to meet
In Holland, a country which they re
garded as even more neutral than
Italy Among the candidates already
mentioned are Cardinals Maffl, Ue
I at, Kerrata. Agiiardl, Pomplll nnd
Kernflrl, the last named ex-nunico of
Mexico.
Caused Riot.
There is much Interest In the mai
ler of where the body of the pope will
find Its final resting place It is re
calted that carrying the body of Phis
l\ front st IVt era to St. Isi w retire
reused a riot. For this reason the
bodv of rbpe Leo. although lie had
expressed a wish to be burled In St.
•b bn Istteraii. where his tomb was
erected, is still in St. Peters as lha
h.le pope feared that the transporta
tion might cause disorders. It Is he
lieyed Flux X those St. Peters for Ills
tomb in order to avoid the possibility
; of unpleasantness.
I tit* Gtornale d’lanlia today snvs the
pope recently drew up new rules to
govern future conclaves nnd that
; these abolished the right of the i eto
of foreign powers, thus freeing the
, • erdtnals of temporal Influence In
t ptrlt iin I nun errs The new rule slso
the pa per says, modified some of the
furttmlltlow concerning the duration of
i th«* conclave.

It la expected the conclave for the
election of a tw'pe will he held on Sep

"me for the cardinal* from several
countries to arrive Kven so i t i* doubt
ed whether Cardinals Gibbons and

Knights of Malta mingled with bishops.

A MONUMENT WORTH WHILE.
(Mike Kinney, teamster and editor, in
The Gimlet.)
Once upon a time I lived in a sordid,
plain and ugly small town. There
were no bronze or marble statues to
stimulate the ambitions and lmagina
jtions of the hoys and girls. There
were no graceful fountains to develop
and satisfy the natural love of beau
ty.
hut in the nearby cemetery out on
[the hill were a lot of expensive, but
I " hat seemed to me even as a child,
useless monuments erected in memory
■T 'he loved ones who had crossed the
Great IHvld*.
Sav sis. I want you to let me rest
| under the trees with only the green
I Mass for iny blanket. If there Is any
cash to spare out of my life insurance
erect my monument tn the form of a
di inking fountain, and place It in
i town, where every day men, women
slid children will laugh and gossip
and where tired horses and thirsty
dugs will drink of the crystal bubbling
waters. Cut this out and Hie with my
will.
SMOKING HABIT INCREASING.
(From the Philadelphia Ledger.)
Between 1903 and 1912 the number
ol cigarettes consumed yearly has
leaped from 3 billion to 12 billion.
During the same ten years the in
crease In the use of little cigars has
been from (HO million to a little more
than 1 billion a year, or about «5 per
cent Cigars themselves have passed
the 7 billion mark. But whereas, ten
years nan half as many cigarettes
cere smoked as cigars, now half as
many ctaars are smoked as cigarette.
