m. POPE UO Kill Perhaps the Greatest of Pontiffs pired On Monday, LAST WORDS'A BLESSING The Length of His Poutlllcate Wag Ove Twenty-Five Yeara-- Important In the Life of the Deceased. ROME, July Leo head cf the Catholic church, died at 4.0 o'clock this afternoon, aged 93 years 'our months and 18 days. The period POPE LEO XIII. over two weeks that the pontiff pass- in the shadow of death was no less wonderful than his life.

His splendid attle against disease was watched the rorld over with sympathetic admira- ion and ended only after a series of erculean efforts to conquer the wep.k- ess of his aged frame by the marvel- us will power of his mind. The pitu o-pneumonia with which his holiness ad been suffering was scarcely so esponsible for his death as that inevit- ble decay of tissue which ensues upon inety-three years of life. Tomorrow the Sacred College of Car- inals will assemble for the impressive eremony of officially pronouncing- ope Leo dead. After this snd on has been performed the body will taken to the small throne room ad- oining the death chamber, where it will be embalmed. The funeral cere- onies will extend over nine days, the ody being removed to the Cathedral St.

Peter's, where it will lie in state, 'he ultimate resting place of the dead ontiff will be in the magnificent ba- lica of St. John the Lateran. Pope Leo's parting words were whis- ered benedictions upon the cardinals, his nephews, who knelt at the bed- de, and the last look of his almost ghtless eyes was toward the great vory crucifix hanging in the death lamber. The perfect administrative michir ry of the church provided against the ightest interruption of the governing uthority. As the senior member of le sacred college, Cardinal Oreglia, to horn the pope today solemnly con- ded the interests of the church, has ow become the exponent of the car- until Popa Leo'a hue eeu elected.

The cardinal is tho ex- ct antithesis of Pope Leo, having nonc- the late pontiff's sympathetic an.i enevolent characteristics. He comes a noble Piedmontese stock and is nobility is shown in his haugh- and austere bearing. Daspite his usterity the cardinal's learning and ety are universally recognized. This the man who, for the time being, is ractically pope. The cardinals will ect a successor to Pope Leo.

MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE, Messages of condolence, in which the dead pontiff was highly eulogized were sent to Rome from all parts of the world. Prominent Americans, Prot estants as well as Catholics, weri among those who thus expressed thei sorrow. President Roosevelt was deeply touched when he received the news the death of the pope. He expressei his feelings in this statement dictate immediately afterward: "The presi dent expressed his profound regret a the death of the venerable pontiff whose long career, no less than his ex alted character, has commanded th respect of all Christendom." The pres ident said that in uttering these ser, timents he was giving expression the feeling of all the people in th United States, wholly without regan to their religious faiths.

Soon afte this the president telegraphed instruc tions to Washington for the state" de partment to transmit to the Vatican a once a message of condolence. Secre tary Hay then sent the following cable gram to Cardinal Rampolla: The president desires me to express profound sense of the loss which the Chri tian world has sustained in the death His Holiness, Leo XIII.

I At This Great Summer School--More Than Three Hundred Thonsaud Students Enrolled ISach Year. CHAUTAUQ.UA, N. July 20--Chan tauqua! Classic Chautauqua, a com posite summer city, representing every state in America, and, perhaps, every civilized nation in the world, is situated in the "forest primeval" on the beautiful lake from which the city takes its name. What impresses the visitor upon entering the grounds is the grandeur and quietude of the p'ace. Culture and refinement are everywhere apparent.

One may meet, without the formality of an introduction, the college professor or a millionaire on the plane social equality and receive the most courteous treatment. Chautavqua app-oached only by steamboat and ublic roads, thus removing it from the noise cf trains and street railways The grounds are enclosed with a high picket fence, making admission impossible except through the guarded gateways. No horses are hitched within the city. Music halls and practice pianos are far removed from human habitation. No flies nor mosquitoes inhabit this place to disturb the peace of the visitor, and even the small boy, iverywhere in evidence with his outburst of American freedom, has bis own club house, and by a wise foresight it stands remote from the centre of population Order is heaven's first aw and cleanliness a sacred duty.

Visitors from the "Smart Set" characterize Chautauqua as slow. They come here to show their knowledge of the world and display their costly gowns, or, perhaps, to lead an idle life, and as none of these things are encouraged usually wind up by doing as others do. The average Chautauquan dresses plainly and works incessantly Every one has something to do. It is ndeed an inspiring sight to see thousands of earnest students of all ages rushing off to their morning classes. All departments of learning may be pursued here and in the multitude of things the ambitious student is apt to attempt too much, and thus fail to assimilate the work in hand.

Thirty years ago Chautauqua had its beginning as a camp-meeting site. It levelopsd into a training school for Suuday school teachers, which was beginning of the great educational movement that is world wide in its influence. More than three hundred housaud students are enrolled yearly the C. L. S.

C. No definite architectural plans were iver consulted in building up Chautau- 23Ie streets are narrow, winding and irregular, the forest trees are pre- erved intact. Houses are jumbled ogether with a total disregard of the irinciples of symmetry and ideal group- ng, considered so essential in modern ivic improvement. Chautauqua contains about two bun acres, It has about five hundred and twenty public buildings, ncluding an amphitheater with aseat- ng capacity of five thousand. The ummor residents number about ten honsaud and there is a transient popu- ation of more than forty thousand during the months of July and August To provide for a constantly mereas- ng attendance and to make an ideal model American city gigantic plans for he future of Chautauqua have been irepared by Architect Kelsey, of Philadelphia.

Stereopticon views were brown upon the canvas Saturday ivening in the amphitheater revealing an ideal dream of beauty. Instead of winding streets the groundf- will be bisected by two broad avenues, one leading from the steamboat wharf up to the entrance at the bick if the grounds, and the other running along the high ground at right angles to it, and the whole engirdled oy a boulevard. Sculpture and other xpensive effects enter into the plans grounds are divided into centres epresenting the different departments if the Assembly Institution. It is ilaimed for the new civic scheme that he topography will bo largely prcserv -d and that the new forms will add emphasis to a spirit that stays in the memory of tho countless thousands who have shared it. Preliminary irawings of important buildings have een made and actual work will begin rhis summer with the realignment of roads, tree planting, the construction of a new Hall of Philosophy with a wa- approach, and a new amphitheater which will seat seven thousand people.

Hardy flowering shrubs will be planted along the property line and other points, which will give a succ s- siou of blossoms throughout the season, adding to the seclusion and keeping Chautauqua forever an inviolate part of nature, consecrated to the highest aims of man, sheltered by flowers on one hand and on the other looking forth on the purity and freshness of an open lake. o. Big Business House for Bedford. Bedford's young "captain of Indus try," Henry C. Heckerman, has purchased from the heirs of Josiah Amos the Creamery lot near the P.

R. freight station and an a-ijiining strip of land 10x71 feet from F. M. Amos The Creamery lot is 50x71 feet and Mr. Heckerman paid 81,300 for it; the lacd he bought from Mr.

Amos cost him 8300. Mr. Heckerman intends to erec a four-story building, to occupy the entire plot of ground, and it will be used as a peanut factory andwholesa'e grocery. Mr. Heckermau's business has grown so rapidly that he nee'ls larger quarters.

The new building being so near the railroad, he can dispense with one or two teams and several men. He already has three peanut roasters and will purchase an other one. The roasters and the en gine will be placed in the cellar of the new structure. Mr. Heckerman expects tc have tho building finished by January 1, next.

The phenomenal popularity of Fort Bedford peanuts is a boon tc Bedford. THE GAZETTE heartily con gratulates Mr. Heckerman upon hi success and hopes that Fortune may ever smile upon him. His rapid ris in the business world is due to pluck and push and perseverance. PERSONAL NOTES.
