CHOBUS OF TOLLING BELLS.
The quiet of the evening was broken by
a chorus such as the world has "seldom
heard, On the stroke of 8 all of Rome's
400 churches commenced to toll bells for
the' passing of the soul of Leo XIII. In
from the seven hills and from every
quarter- of the city which - contained
churches came the constant cla:ig, until
all was one vast reverberation. The
harsh. Jingle of. the smaller chapel bells
striking quickly and more, of ten. was not
drowned by the solemn strokes that came
in mourning measure., f md .. the great
dome of St Peter's. It .was as if a great
fire raged and every bell in Rome were
vying with every other in anxiety t to
warn the populace. Except In this com
mon motive and common sorrow it was an
amazing Cdcord, which continued an hour
and which will recur nightly until the ob
sequies arc over. 1
The vUc#ra of Pope Leo. which to-<Jay

visionally deposited in the - crypt of St.

magnificent urn which, carried by Mon
signors Marzolllnl and Angel!, was taken

St.: Vincent Anastasius. . The mysteriously
picturesque scene was. such as is possible
only In Rome. The. carriage was met at
the door of .the church by priests carrying
torches, 5 which flared In .the breezes, the
flickering light having a • weird effect on

showed himself a marvel of patience and
Obedience. Dr..Lapponl said:
"He followed our orders with perfect
docility and. took the . food we. prescribed,
though he often felt disgusted with all
food. He helped to remove his own
clothing whenever we wished- to make
an examination. . He constantly excused
himself for the trouble he was giving.
When- he crept out of bed two or three
times to get books from the library, he
answered our. remonstrances by saying
that he had finished his sleep and wished
to amuse himself without troubling the
weary watchers."

Baldwin will probably be all right
again in a few weeks, for he insisted on
being taken home in a carriage, despite
his injuries, which are severe because
of his age.
PASADENA. July 21. — EL J. — better
known the State over as "Lucky"
— Baldwin this evening narrowly
escaped death in a runaway. He
was driving on South Fair Oaks
avenue in company with Colonel
Hennessy when his horse, a young and
nervous beast, took fright at an electric
car. Baldwin could not manage the ani
mal, which ran, throwing both men vio
lently to the pavement
Baldwin landed on his back and arm
and was stunned. He was taken to the
Pasadena Hospital and cared for. It was
found that no bones were broken. Hen
nessy, who was less severely hurt,
caught the horse and later drove home.
y^OME. July 21.— The body, of Pope
g Leo to-day reposed In the cham
#<r^ ber where his last death-struggle
¦* took place, which for the time
being has been transformed Into
a mortuary' chapel. Late .this afternoon
the body of Pope Leo was embalmed and
clothed in full* pontifical jobes, prepara
tory to the funeral obsequies.
Through the night and early morning
many simple emblems of grief had been
displayed, but the main thoroughfares did
not present a spectacle of general mourn
ing. No flags were half-masted and no
buildings were shrouded In crepe, as
when the Imperial rulers pass away. The
Corso and other busy centers presented
the customary scenes of animation.
It was in the poorer sections of the city
that the evidences of grief were more
manifest. Entering the Borgeo district,
leading to the Vatican, the hum of •ex
citement attending the" event was more
apparent. A steady stream of carriages,
bearing Cardinals and diplomats, swung
through the narrow lane called the Via
Borgeo, leading to the piazza of St
Peter's.
Coming now to the piazza of St Peter's
a scene of vital Interest began to unfold
itself. There was not the slightest evi
dence of bustle or confusion. The vast
expanse enclosed within the stately col
onnade looked majestic In Its serenity.
Although groups of people hurried hither
and thither, their presence was complete
ly lost in the Immensity of the whole.
NO SIGNS OF MOURNING.
Nowhere about the . Esplanade was
there the slightest outward sign of
mourning, neither on thej church front nor
on the columns of the dooYs of the Vat
ican. The main entrance of the Vatican
showed the chief evidence of activity.
As the equipages drove up with distin
guished prelates the' heavy iron, chains
continued to l4op back the crowds leaving
a narrow aisle for the arriving digni-
taries. pack of .the chafns were massed
a crowd of. curious sightseers/- The of
ficial presence of the Italian' soldiery was
kept noticeably; in" the background. : -. At
the foot of the stone steps stood an .of
ficer of Italian grenadiers in fatigue uni- ;
form and cap. with. a small detachment
of troops bo broken; Into squads that they*
did not have the appearance uf being in
martial array. With them .were the Vat
ican and municipal troops in somber uni
forms, with broad chapeaux, some tipped
with little olue pompoms. The ponderous
doors of the Vatican were closed. The
only means of ingress was a small open
ing which had been cut through the solid
bronze bas reliefs. 'Behind this tiny en
trance, only wide enough to admit a single
person, stood a Swiss guard with fixed
bayonet. As the Cardinals and diplomats
came up they went to the tiny door,
knocked and were admitted. Outside these
favored few the exclusion was absolute.
PREPARING LEO'S TOMB.
Inside the magnificent church of St.
Peter could be heard the sound of ham
mer and chisel already preparing Leo's
temporary tomb. A massive wooden plat
form had been rolled into the basilica,
reaching half way to the celling, to the
left of the nave. Around this rough'
staging stood a crowd waichlng a half
dozen workmen prepare the niche in
which Leo's coffin will soon rest. High
above the niche they had driven into the
solid masonry three enormous steel hooks
from which the tackle will be operated to
hoist the coffin into placo. The resting
place for the casket-; Is a marble slab,
about fifteen feet! above the pavement,
forming the upper casement of one of the
massive door*. On either side are great
marble cupjds. while the light comes
dimly from above from two domes sur
rounded by exquisite mosaics, one show
ing the apostles and saints and the other
an angelic chorus. Two workmen pound-
Pope Rejoices Over Triumph of His Peace Policy.
WORKMEN INVADE CHAPEL.
Within tho right nave still another
preparation for the Pope's obsequies was
going on. This was the preparation of
the Chapel of the Holy Sacrament for re
ceiving his body after Its removal from
the Vatican. Cardinal Respighl, the Vi
car of Rome, had given orders for these
arrangements. Although Cardinal Oreglia
has supreme command of the interests of
the church, it is Cardinal Respighi who
has been given immediate charge of the
personal affairs relating to the dead Pope,
Accordingly, the beautiful chapel was for
the time being invaded by sweepers and
cleaners, who poured buckets of water on
the mosaic pavement and began scouring
it. . The front of the chapel is cut off from
the main church by a massive trestle,
through which the faithful can look upon
the altar within. This is of solid brass,
with heroic brass kneeling angels. Be
neath It is a space where Leo's coffin will
be deposited when it comes from the Vati
can. This space Is so small that the foot
of the casket will extend to the iron trel
lis. The purpose of this arrangement is
to carry out the ancient ceremony by
which the actual foot of the dead Pontiff
will extend through the Iron barriers, to
permit the kneeling, faithful to approach
and kiss the last remnant of former pa pah
authority through It. This morning people
crowded about the grating and gazed at
the preparations going on within.
ed and called out .their commands In
strange contrast with >the solemn sur
roundings. VThe interior of the church
was as, yet undraped with mourning. The
massive crimson hangings had been re
moved,'-Bringing out" the ghastly white
ness pf the marble nave.* At .the further
end could .be seen groups 'of priests,
kneeling about the tomb of St. Peter,
where scores of tapers. burn unceasingly.
Only the usual masses were said during
the morning, as the ceremonials Jn con
nection with the death of the Pope have
yet to be arranged.

flee to say that the French Government
has taken no steps to exert any influence
upon the conclave, and it is believed the
other Catholic States will adopt the same
course. It is improbable that a change
in the head of the Holy See will result m
any change in the relations of France to
the Vatican, unless the new Pope proves
to be another Pius IX, but that is a mat
ter whereon it is impossible to express
an opinion until the new Pope Is electeu.

or
Baking Powders are half Corn
#/^fl\l starch, the other half being Acid-phosphate,
I l#lf^Hr / or Alum. Some of these are said to be
I I T5ttl/ ver y injurious, and quite unreliable.
yl^f^b, Good Baking Powders are one-fourth
Rice Flour, one-fourth Soda, and one-
half Cream of Tartar.
• \ These cost 13 cents per pound to manufacture, but
you must pay fifty cents per lb. for them, at retail.
And it takes $4.40 worth of this Baking Powder to
make a $6.00 barrel of Flour into Tea Biscuits!
" PRESTO " quick - flour needs no Baking Powder, and
very little " Shortening."
It is the finest flour milled in America, being rich in
Gluten (muscle-former) with a comparatively low per cent-
age of Starch (fat) , while Baker's Flour, for instance, is
chiefly Starch, with little Gluten.
"PRESTO" quick-flour has the exact proportions of
Cream Tartar, Soda, and Salt, that such flour needs,* al-
ready blended uniformly into it, by machinery.
These chemicals are the purest made, mixed with the
flour when they are fresh and strong, and then sealed up
in air-tight packages that Grocers retail at 10c and 25c
The very best flour, and the purest Cream of Tartar
and Soda are thus sold in "PRESTO," at the price of
common flour, combined with Baking Powder, — why?
Because—" PRESTO " carries only a cTVKllcr's profit
on the whole product, instead of a Druggists profit on the
Baking Powder, or 44 per cent, portion.
Then, there's the great labor saving, and the certainty
of results, to consider in its valuation.
_'•:_/ "PRESTO" makes the quickest, surest, lightest,
whitest, and most economical of cakes, biscuits, and pastry.
