There Is only one man who holds such a position as to profit by the election of a new Pope, if the usual custom is observed. This is Secretary of the Con-sistorial Congregation, who, during the conclave, acts as Secretary of State. It Is his duty, when a Pope is elected, to advance, kneeling and offer the white zucetto, or the small cap the emblem of papal dignity to the new Pontiff, who is expected to remove his red. cap and put the white one on his head and the red one on the kneeling officiating monsignor as a sign that he will soon create him a cardinal.

On his accession in 187S Leo calmly and slowly folded' up his red zuccetto and put It In his pocket, as a mute protest against politics. The officiating prelate was Monsignor Lasagni, who, in fact, waited about three years before entering the sacred college. The fortunate prelate 'who is now looking forward to such a dignity is Monsignor VolponI, who has just been Secretary of the Consistoriaj Congregation.

M. C. Gee, A Increasing num ber of physicians prescribe Pe- runa in their regular practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that- even the doctors nave overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. "I Advise Women tp Use Pe-ru-na," Says Dr; Gee.

Dr. M. Gee is one the physicians who indorse Peruna. Iri a letter written from 513 Jones street, Son Francisco, says: "There is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines, but when any one medicine cures hundreds of people. It demonstrates its own value1, and does not need indorsement of the pro-, fession.

"Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy, I have frequently advised-its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless menstruation, cures leu-corriiea and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system I also consider it one of the finest ca tarrh remedies I know of.

I took Peruna, an can say with pleasure that it has done more for me than any other medicine I have ever taken.

By this it is supposed there will be a trial within the.next few but on account of the exupment now existing at Evansville it Is not believed Brown wlll.be taken there until quiet is fully restored. Under the' name of Brown the prisoner was indicted last Monday In the Vanderburg Circuit Court, and in twenty minutes after the grand, jury as-' sembled an indictment charging murder in' the first degree was returned, the six members voting unanimously for the indictment on the first and only; ballot taken.

Gov. pur-bin to-night, on learning that Judge Rasch had ordered Lee Brown 1 taKeri to Evansville for Immediate trial, wired Judge Rasch that he would not allow the prisoner to be taken from the State prison at this time.

He doubted If a fair trial ccuid be secured at this under the present conditions it would be too dangerous for the prlson1-er- to be taken to Evansville. Judge Rasch, immediately on receipt of the Governor's order wired Sheriff Kratz to return without the prisoner. He said the trial would be postponed indefinite-. In his telegram' to Judge Rasch Gov, Durbln said: I decline to sanction an arrangement whereby the negro, Lee Brown, Is to be immediately tried at Evansville under the military forces of the State. My information, obtained from medical officers of the State Reformatory.

However heinous the crime or seemingly clear the guilt, he is entitled, under the most sacred tenets of our jurisprudence to hearing, which he cannot have in the very nature of things until he Is sufficiently recovered to make a If he. has one. i- JSo. grounds will bo given for the suspicion that even a guilty man has been railroaded, to the gallows to satisfy public sentiment or that the civil authorities have been Influenced to the deter-'mlnation of their course by the demon-etration of the lawless.

JAPAN IS AFTER AMERICAN FLOUR. Shipments To the Orient Exceed All Previous Season Records. The more or less strained relations between Japan and Russia, wlthj the prosifectlve shortage, Of the wheat crop of the island kingdom, Is resulting in a commercial benefit to the United States, in that Japan is buying an unusual amount of American Hour at this time, says the Seattle Post-Intel-llgencer. Never before at this season of the year have the flour shipments been so heavy. The State of Washington is supplying the bulk of Hour shipped to Japan from the ports of Puget sound: During, the month of June no less than 90.000 barrels have been consigned' to the principal cities of the Mikado's country' from Seattle by the vessels of the Nippon Yusen Kalsha line alone.

Proportionately as much went by the ToKMma and Vancouver lines, to say. nothing of Che shipments from Portland and San. Francisco. No specific reason has been given for wheat shortage fn Japan, and none really may exist. Nevertheless, Japan Is buj'lngan enormous amount of Hour, which gives force to the murmurings ot war between the Czar and the Mikado.

It Is known, too, that Japan Is drawing upon China for American flour. Owing to the warm, damp climate of China in summer, flour does not keep well. It Is unsafe to carry very large stocks. Hongkong, usually the great depot for American flour shipped to China, has her warehouses full, but these she Is emptying to Japan. For nearly two months the flour shipments to China have been light.

They will increase again about August 15, running heavy throughout the fall and winter. Japan, on the other hand. Is a safe market as regards olimatlc condi tions any season of the year. While Japan and China grow wheat, their production is infinitesimal as compared Tvith the demands for flour from -their millions of population. MUCH ILL FEELING AGAINST J.

B. LINDLE. He Will Remain In Henderson Jail TTntil Indignation Subsides In Hopkins. Henderson, July 8. Judge C.

C. Glvens, of Madlsonvllle, was here last evening and had an interview with Lln-dle and Witherspoon, the two officials alleged to be Implicated In the killing of young Jeff Burton at Earllngton last Saturday evening, relative to their examining trial. Both men immediately after the killing of Burton were arrested, and when the facts became known it was evident that It would be dangerous to confine the men In the Hopkins county Jail. The public temper became more and more Inflamed, and Circuit Judge Gordon directed the Sheriff to take both men to Henderson and turn them over to the Jailer. This was done last Sunday.

Llndle' declined to go back, but Witherspoon agreed to return, and was taken -to Madlsonvllle last night by Sheriff Ashby. Judge Givens last night gave it as his opinion that it would be a very difficult matter, "If It could be done at all," to protect Lindie. $10,000 IN CASH Goes to subscribers or readers of the Courier-Journal who make closest estimate of the total vote that will be cast for all candidates for Governor of Kentucky in November next.

HAKE YOUR GUESS NOW Rome, July S. Although Pope Leo Is one of the best loved of the Popes, the situation In the church now Is that while there Is one party which would do anything possible to'have him longer, the a is another party which thinks a change in the Papacy would further their Interests as well as of the church. The former party is composed of all the friends of- those who are now in power and who have secured the best posts, both -with regard to honors and positions, as well as financially. Tiese understand that a change may mean practical oblivion for them. The other party Is composed of all those who have kept in the background and whose only hope is In a new administration.

It must be considered that a new Pope generally brings a change in all the great appointments, including the Papal Secretary of State and Vicar of Rome, the representative of the Pontiff on spiritual, affairs; the Vice Chancellor, who has charge of Issuing the Papal bulls; the Grand Penitentiary, who presides at the tribunal of penitentiaries, grant DEFIED (Continued from First Page.) Italian State, thus making him obnoxious to the papal party. To Consult Cardarelli. Dr. Baccelli's position is even more difficult In addition to having been member of the Chamber of Deputies for thirty years, he is actually a Minister of the crown of Italy, being Min ister of Commerce, Industry -arid Agri culture: Dr. Baccelli occupies such a high position in medical science that notwithstanding his political principles he has often been called to the deathbed of prominent ecclesiastics, and was even consulted during the last Illness ot Pope but, then hejwas not a Minister, and never had been one.

In spite of these objections, the wishes ot family were. respected, and It was announced that Drs. LapponI and MazzonI would consult with Dr. Cardarelli to-morrow morning. Dr.

Baccelli ridicules the statement attributed to him by the Petit Parisien that the Pope Is affected with malaria. Malaria, he says, entirely disappeared from Rome years ago. History of the Case. The newspapers this evening publish a history of the Pope's Illness, evidently inspired by Drs. LapponI and MazzonI, who wish to defend themselves from the attacks on their diagnosis of the case, but it is Interesting as the first document giving exact data from a medical point of view.

The account runs as follows: "On the morning of Tuesday, June 30, Pope Leo wont for a drive In the Vatican gardens. On returning he declared that he had been greatly benefited by the fresh air and wished to repeat the drive. The Pope said he felt no need of a medical, visit and Informed Dr. Lapponi not to go to see him. "During the night of Wednesday, July Pope Leo cdmplained-iof Intestinal disturbances which he attributed to constipation, notwithstanding he went Into the Vatican gardens and returned to his apartments again feeling benefited from his drive.

His Sleep Restless. "On Thursday he declared he felt well, but Dr. LapponI, wishing to know personally the nature of the disturbances complained of, spent the night at the Vatican. During the night tho Pope was sleepless and restless. "On Friday Dr.

LapponI examined the Pope and found pulmonary inflammation in the right of the thorax between the inferior and middle lobes. He informed Cardinal Rampolla and began the treatment which he thought right on Saturday. During the day the in-flamatlon spread. Dr. Lapponi, worried, desired to have Pope Leo seen by Dr.

MazzonI. who. since the operation in 1S9S, has visited the Pontiff occasion ally, replacing Dr. Lappom aunng nis illness with appendicitis. "On Saturday Dr.

MazzonI went to the Vatican and examined the patient with Dr. LapponI. confirming the lat-ter's diagnosis, viz: An Inflammatory process in the lung, which was in the medical bulletin as pulmonary hepatlzatlon. The original treatment was continued, consisting of supporting the strenuth of the heart ana general condition of the patient. Operation Is Performed.

"Tn noticeable chance was observed until Monday evening. It was then found that the lowest part of the right of the thorax, which previously was pervious to respiration, hod become impervious, affecting the function of the lung. The presence of liquid was suspected. The Pontiff spent an agitated and sleepless night. "On Tuesday many symptoms confirmed the presence of liquid.

Its increase was considered to account for the Pope's general condition growing worse. After a test puncture, t00 grammes of bloody liquid was extracted. The condition of the pistient Improved immediately, giving hopes, slight in some persons and exaggarated in others. The amelioration lh the condition of the patient was ndt continued during Tuesday. Indeed, depression gained the upper hand." "LONG Credited To Some of Pope's Relatives and.

Some Cardinals. Paris, July 8. According to the Jour-nnl'ft mrrpRTiiHident n.t Rome. Italv. tne Italian Government has organized1 everything admirably.

An-army of police is present, yet Invisible. The present struggle between Cardinal Oreglla and Cardinal Rampolla Is becoming serio-comic. When Oreglla claimed an apartment in the Vatican, Cardinal Rampolla had a thousand chairs plied up in It. Cardinal Oreglla, says the Journal's correspondent, told -him last evening that there were possibly treasures, and, in any case, Important documents In the Pope's room, and must prevent any one's entering.

Subsequently the girl was adopted by Mr. Herman Niederholm and the boy by another family.

Is doubted.

The Herald publishes a cablegram from Rome saying: In the midst of all the anxiety regarding the health of the Pope, there is much talk at the Vatican regarding the determination expressed by Cardinal Matthieu to claim for France her right to exercise her high patronage over the conclave, a right which she has enjoyed "ab antiquo," in spite of all discussions to which it has given rise. This pretention on the part of Cardinal Matthieu explains why he refuses to leave the Vatican.

An incident apropos of the rights of certain persons the event of the death "of Htfe 'Pope has occurred between Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Oreglla, who is preparing to undertake his duties of cardinal camerlingo. In virtue of his right to this position he demanded tfiut a suite of apartments should be prepared for him at tho Vatican. After having refused one that was offered him on the first floor, he consented to accept another one, but ordered' extensive alterations to be made In it. When Cardinal Rampolla heard of this he regarded It as indecent that these alterations should be undertaken before the death of the Pope, and gave orders that the work should be at once suspended. action on the part of the Secretary of State has rendered Cardinal Oreglla furious.

It is the time for the people of Evans-fIL-j to go back to work end attend to business affairs. They should quit thinking of what has happened, and aboye, all quit talking about It Talking about the affairs will improve conditions. There has been a wonderful change in the public pulse since yesterday afternoon. Before the fresh troops arrived the air -was5 full trouble. Citizens "I met and talked with had a gloomy look and were downcast.

To-day they are more cheerful and a -good many them are asking themselves why they -ware alarmed. The only immediate thing to guard against Is unpleasant incidents that may arise at the funerals of those who have been killed." i Mo General Orders. Gen.

Since quiet Ms bean restored the affair is being deliberately, by the people, and both city and county officials are being both censured and commended. It Is generally admitted that grave Munders.V.are made at the outset by, both Mayor Covert and Sheriff Kratz. Many say that the great blunder of Sheriff Kratz was In keeping a military guard about the jail after Brown had been taken to Vlncennes, as this action tended to cause the people to believe Brown was still in the prison. Mayor Covert is censured fbr allowing the saloons to remain open after the trouble began, and for not deputizing a stronger force at the first outbreak. The city was placarded to-day with Law and Order notices by the Peace Committee.

The notices were painted on sign boards and placed in' conspicuous places. They urged all to go to their homes at nightfall and remain there during the night. Chief of Police Heuke to-night ordered the arrest of all parties found carrying arms. Judge Rauseh, of the Circuit Court, said to-night: "I wired the authorities at the Indiana Reformatory to know if Brown was able to be brought here for trial and their answer was I then Issued an order for his return and It now in the hands of Sheriff Kratz.

The grand jury, now working In spe cial session, is coming to be regarded as a very important body, and many people are now interested in its deliberations. The jurymen, it is understood, are going to the bottom of the recent rioting, and will endeavor to bring the ringleaders to justice. Five men, one of whom is a prominent business man, have been Indicted on two counts, one for riotous conr spiracy and one for riot. They are Jos. T.

Zlegler, Richard Grosbeck, William Trimble, James Steele and A. P. Card-well. The latter is a It is understood that the Indictments relate to their conduct on Sunday night last, when so 'much rioting and looting took place. The penalty on the first count is from two to ten years in the penitentiary and a fine hot to exceed 52,000.

For the second count. the penalty is a fine not to exceed $500, to which a jail sentence may be In addition to the above, twenty other indictments have been returned against citizens for participation In Sunday night's affair. No findings have been made in connection with Monday's riot and shooting: The action' of the grand jury Is said to have created alarm among a class who heretofore have been very active in connection with recent events.

Owensboro seems to be the haven most sought by the panic-stricken negroes from Evansville, Ind. For the past three days every boat and train from the riotous town has brought goodly numbers of negroes to the city. Many have brought their families and say they are going to locate in the South. Others swear they will never set foot in Evansville again. Owensboro already has a large colored population, and the Democratic majority is not so large that the addition of a hundred or so negro voters will not effect it.

Lee Brown, who Killed jfoiiceman Massey at Evansville, left this city eight years ago. While here he caused the police considerable trouble. SPEEDY TRIAL FOR LEE BROWN.

So far as known Brown Is without money or influence and the chances are that he will be sent to the scaffold in short order. i General Superitendent Byers of the Reformatory had a talk over the long distance telephone yesterday afternoon with Judge Louis Rasch, of the First Judicial Circuit, regarding the condi tion of Brown. Judge Rasch -wanted to know how he. was and how soon it was thought possible to allow him to he returned to Evansville for triai. Mr.

Byers answered Judge Rasch that the prisoner stand tho trip at any The physical condition of Brown is good, although he got a bad start yesterday morning. After the arrival at the Reformatory Tuesday afternoon he began to complain of feeling very sora In the region of the wounded lung, but otherwise was In fairly good spirits as far as any one could tell, as he has maintained almost a complete silence since balng brought In. The only time he talks Is when asked regarding his wound, and then' he does nothing more than answer direct questions. -Tuesday night Brown became restless and after midnight tossed about on his cot until morning, securing but little sleep. Frequently he would moan and 'at times would act as if badly frightened, but a good deal of this is believed to have been feigned as he was in no danger where ha was.

When the sick call was made yesterday morning Brown showed signs of fever, but was able to partake of food, which he seemed to relish. As the day gre.w in'length the fever passed away and he calm enough to take several good naps. TTesierdaV ternoon his condition good, and he displayed ho sighs of being in pain. Brown dreads night and when dark began to settle down again last evening he showed signs of becoming restless and was given medicine to quiet his nerves, which had the desired effect. Tlioso in the hospital last evening were under the Impression that remorse was bothering him more than his wound.

Dr. Sharp said last night that there was absolutely no danger of Brown dying from the bullet that went into his left lung. Neither does Dr. Sharp believe Brown was ever in as serious condition as been said or he would have shown some, Indications of It when he came into the Reformatory'. At that time ha was able to walk unassisted and went clear to the hospital without any help whatever.

Dr. Shurp says he has a remarkable vitality and it would take more than one bullet In his lung to kill him unless it struck a' vital spot. May Bo Refugees. It Is believed a numbor of negro refugees from Evansville have arrived in Jeffersonville, as several new faces made their appearance Some of them had HgKt hand baggage, while others had no luggage of any kind. None of the newcomers would admit that they from Evansville, but the actions of some of them showed they were not at ease for some reason.

There is no excitement in Jeffersonville, however, and it Is not likely any effort will be made to learn any particulars of the nev arrivals. The Influx 'of negroes has been so great recently that the whites hava learned that the best thing for them to do if they want to avoid trouble is to keep still as long as tha colored clement behaves. EXODUS TO HENTVERSON. Probably Three HundTed Negroes Have Arrived. Henderson, July 8.

There seems to be no abatement of the Influx of negroes from Evansville and if they continue to come on in such numbers the authorities here are apt to have a serious proposition confronting them. Many of them are going to the houses of friends and relatives, but many more have no place to go to and will have to live as best they can. There are more negro beggars on the streets than ever known In Henderson for many years. The begging was in the main for bread, but many asked for financial assistance. Probably three hundred came down on the trains and boats.

WHY RAZORS' GET TIRED. It Is Because, a Barber Says, Their Teeth Get Clogged. "Do you know why we dip a razor In warm water before we begin shaving, and do you know why some Ignorant men say a razor is asked the barber of a Philadelphia Record reporter. "Well, this is all due to the fact that a razor Is a saw, not a knifej and it works like a saw, not like a knife. Examined under the.

microscope, Its edge, that looks so smooth to the naked eye, is seen to have innumerable and fine saw teeth. When these teeth get clogged with dirt all the honing, and strapping in the world will do no good the razor is dull, and nothing will sharpen it. Then is the time the Ignorant say it is 'tired' and stop using it, but the wise know it is only clogged. "The wise, though, don't suffer their' razors to get clogged. They dip them in wai'ai water they use them and thus the teeth are kept clean.

It is because a razor is a saw that lather is used on the beard. The lather doesn't soften the beard, as so many people think: It stiffens It. so that it will present a firm and resisting surface to the razor" Eight Cuban Doctors Prescribe It Daily, and Have Thrown Away Quinine: Dr. JOSE F. ACOSTA, Villaclara, Cuba, says: "Eight of the -physicians of this city daily prescribe Wintersmith's Tonic.

I write many prescriptions for it." II II I II I TiiniMTiTnin vnrrmi inn mmimirawf.
