. ' Lot I'oem by Leo XIII.
Tie English papers print Pope Leo's
latest poem, written during his Illness,
of whi' h only a couple of lines have
appeared in the United States, says
tho Xcw York Tribune. It Is In Latin,
and Is entitled "Nocturna liigeiuiscen
tls Anlmro Meditatlo" (Night Thoughts
of a Sighing Soul), and the English
translation is roughly aa follows:
The fateful hour in hastening on. Io;
'tis time now to depart and to tread
the way of eternity according to thy
deoerta.
What fate may await thee? The grlfts
conferred on thee by Qod'e bounty
, or the supreme keys, that heavy
I charge borne by thee so many years,
1 will bid thee hope for heaven.
Thin on this with sighs, for he who
stands pre-eminent In honor among
the peoples, unhappy man, will be
punished the more sharply.
But then a sweet vision aids the trem
bling soul and a sweeter voice sounds
In converse with it.
Why does such fear oppress thee, and
why, recalling thy whole past life In
order, dost thou cherish sadness In
thy heart?
Christ Is at hand In pity. If thou be
humble and ask forgiveness (oh, trust
him!) he will wipe out every sin.
'Omit the Third Stanstt."
Mabclle had boon unusually quiet at
church one Sunday. She was generally
a very restless listeucr. llor mother,
noticing It, asked her:
"What made you f?o good during serv

T was thinking," answered the child,
"whv the people who write hynms al
ways put something bad In them that
the' minister can't let the people slug.
He always says 'omit .the third' ot
some other stanza, and he says it ovet
twice, so they'll bo sure not to sing It
so it must be something wicked." New

SITUATION THREATENING.
Fram e and Great fcritafn Trying to
Pre-
vent Trouble in Kust.
Birmingham, Eng., July 29, The Post
today says that while the alarmist views
regarding the situation are to be depre
cated there is no doubt that the dispute
between Russia and Japan is regarded
with considerable concern in oiHcial quar
ters. The paper adds, "Perhaps not the
least interesting feature Is that the British
and French governments are combining to
prevent an outbreak of hostilities. Al
most identical representations have been
made to Russia and Japan by France and
Great Britain, four couriers having passed
between France and England since Satur
day." -

Glasgow, July 2'.). The Scotch harvest
this year will prove almost a total failure.
The yield is the lowest in 20 years. Farm

exceed all records.

PROVED TO BE A THIEF.
Alleged Boston Pastor Was Lookiog for
Plunder Instead of Kent.
St. Albans. July 2S. The good people
of Highgate Springs are greatly exercised
over the disappearance of a man, woman
aud boy who came there shortly after the
lirst of the mouth, hired a cottage, en
gaged board witu a Mr. t'iatt and settled
down for a few weeks of camp life. The
man represented himself to be the Rev.
Mr. Marvin, claiming to be the pastor of a
large church In Boston, and said that he
had come up into the country for rest.
The visitors made a favorable impression
on the natives and campers generally and
lived high, getting goods on credit: among
other things which the "Rev. Mr. Marvin''
bought was a fine large tent. Last Fri
day night when "Mr. Marvin's" board
bill was due, the whole outfit disappeared
entirely, taking one of Mr. Piatt's best
boats, the tent, a quantity of bedding and
other stuff which didn't happen to be
nailed down. Where tbey went to, no one
know s, and a search of the surrounding
Country by officers and interested creditors
has failed to locate them.

ORANGE CO.
TELEPHONE
Hearing on Granting
Franchise in Barre,
THE OPERA HOUSE LEASE
W. W. Lapoiat Asks to Have His Rent
Reduced Another Year Minor
Matters.
The special business before the board of
aldermen at Its regular meeting last eveu
Ingwasa hearing on the request of the
Orange County Telephone Co. to set poles
on Elm, Brookljn and Burnham streets in
the city of Barre, and to establish a cen
tral oilice at the store of O. J. Dodge. The
matter was taken trp at the opening of the
meeting, but no one interested being pres
ent, it was laid on the table until the oth
er business before the board was trans
acted. The franchise provides that for the right
to set poles in the city streets the com
pany shall pay the city yearly 1 for each
private telephone and $2 for each pay sta
tion established.
On taking up the matter later, C. L.
Spear, representing the Orange County
Telephone Co., stated the case of the cotu
patiy and why they sought entrance to
Barre, which was to accommodate the
many subscribers to its 'phones in the
farming towns where their lines run.
Dr. V. C. Goodrich asked if the X. E.
company paid a rental on its 'phones. Al
derman Currier stated the N. K. Co. came
into Barre before it was a city and it paid
no rentals.
Dr. Goodrich said that he knew people
of the towns east and south of Barre want
ed telephone connection with Barre, be
cause they wanted to do business with
Barre. He hoped the council would grant
the company the franchise asked without
the dollar rider.
C. W. Scant', representing the New
England Telephone company, suggested
bow the city council ought to act in the
matter, and sought to Instruct the council
in its proceedings.
U . . Lapoiut spoke in favor of the
Orange County company, and said there
was "free gratis" communication over all
its lim-s. -
M. J. McGowun asked if the New Eng
land company had not restricted instead
of extending the zone of its free 'phones
to subscribers.
Dr. Goodrich thought if It was going to
help us to have the Orange County Tele
phone lines in Barre. we ought to have it.
Joha Anderson thought the Orange
County company was required here in the
city and he thought the city was right in
imposing the franchise tax.
V. D. buutli wanted to see the Peoples'
line in the city. So far as he knew this
company had dozens of subscribers among
the farmers where the New Eugland Tele
phone company had one. lie said it
looked to him as if the Peoples company
were charging as little as they could while
the New England company was charging
as much as it could.
Alderman Currier asked If there was
any citizen of Barre present who objected
to the granting of the franchise. No one
responded.
After some further discussion the hear
ing was closed, aud the matter of grant
ing a franchise was referred to a commit
tee of the whole.
The secretary of the Board of Health
reported 24 births and nine deaths in
June.
Sig. Santelle's circus, through its agent,
asked that the fee for exhibiting In Barre
be reducea from oo as the circus was
small one. They propose to visit Barre
August 14. The matter was referred to
the license committee and the city attorney
witn power to act.
The committee on cemeteries reported
tney naa no authority to execute a lease.
The lease of an unused portion of Elm-
wood cemetery to h. M. Lvon and Edwin
Carleton was read and referred back to
the oommittee to make a few alterations
and report back.
The New England Tel. Telegraph Co.
asked that in the resolution granting the
N. E, Co. the right to put its lines under
ground be amended to read "Vermont Tel
ephone Co.". It was so voted.
E. L. Smith quit claimed to the city for i
$1 the street from Brook to Lane street,
a 83 foot street. Accepted.
The treasurer was authorized to trans-!
fer a 15 cent tax assessment to the sinking
fund commissioner. '
A sewer permit was granted A. J.
Kempton for Circle street.
Building permits were granted W. Jack
on to build a 10 foot fence along Main
street In front of the new Sortwell block
while building; to Mrs. II. E. AValte to
build a piazza.
W. W. Lapoint appeared before the
board in regard to renewing his bond. Be
fore the bond was submitted to the city he
wished the council to refer the matter to
the property committee to see if they could
uot lower the yearly rental. He thought
that the city ought to remit at least the
two summer months. The matter was re
ferred to a committee of the whole to re
port on at the next meeting.
W'm. Kingston appeared to ask some
questions about a sidewalk being laid on
Foster street. He thought too much of
the street was being used for sidewalk and
too little left for street. The sidewalk
being constructed is 9 feet wide. The
width of the street is two rods.
Alderman Currier for the street commis
sioners explained that the sidewalk was
laid as best it could be on a hilly street.
Miss Tilden, owner of the Tilden house
on North Main street, asked the council in
a communication to abate her taxes on the
house, because it had been destroyed by
fire and she had received no insurance on
the same. Referred to the board of civil
authority.
A communication from A. R. Thurston
of West Topsham a.sked the city to pay
three months rent for the time his
J house was usad as a pest house, and also
c2 1 for repairs. I he communication was
laid on the table until ex-Mayor Melcher
could be interviewed in n-gard to the mat
ter WANTS INFORMATION.
Liienee McGowaii Goes Before Aldermen
to Ask Wliy Wlue Was Returned.
M. J. McGowan, one of the Barre licen
sees, was before the board of aldermen
last evening to ask by what authority the
wine seized the other day at the freight
depot was returned to claimants without
a hearing in court and without its being
claimed within 24 hours. He wanted the
grand juror who returned it investigated.
On motisn it was voted to refer the
matter to the city attorney for investiga
tion.
The wine In question was seized at the
Central freight oilice several weeks ago be
cause it appeared to have been brought
into Barre and resold here by some un
known parties not regularly licensed
dealers.-

E. Bryan's drug store. The cause of the
fire Is unknown as no one had been near
the store since 10:30 the night before and
everything was all right when Mr. Bryan
closed the store. The fire started in the
laboratory of the store behind a counter
and had burned but very little w hen dis
covered. Chemicals were used to extin
guish the fire but there was not enough,
to water had to be used and more damage
was done by water and smoke than by
fire. Mr. Brvan had insurance on the
goods and the insurance commissioners
were here yesterday to examine the store.

Like an Ant Hill.
The Vatican resembles an ant hill, sc
feverish is the work of preparing the
part of that building set aside forth
conclave. Before IsTO conclaves wen
held in the Quiriual palace, one long
wing of w hich was always ready with
out any special preparation. But in tht
case of the Vatican, apartments ol
three or four rooms for each cardinal
have to be specially prepared, and as
there are sixty-four cardinals the
amount of work Involved is very grea'i
indeed. The section destined for tht
concla ve comprises, on the ground fioot
of the Vatican, the three suits ol
rooms which surround the famous
court of San Dnmaso, the rooms uodei
the late pope's apartment and the tow
er with the rooms about the Sala Dti
cale. On the second floor the rooms
about Loggia Raphael and the pontif
icol otllces, comprising all the apart
ments formerly occupied by Cardinal
Ranipolla, who has left the Vatican al
together, will be used. The whole will
furnish commodious lodging for aboul
500 people.
The Sistine chapel, ns in the case ol
the last conclave, will be used for th
meetings of the cardinals and balloting
There, after three solemn funeral serv
ices, which begin Tuesday, will be
erected a throne for each cardinal. Ovei
the thrones will be baldacchinos, oi
canopies, attached to the wall behind.
The moment a newjpope is elected he
will lower ids baldacchlno as a token
of his new dignity, thus silently an
nounced. The Paulino chnpel will -be
used for the celebration of high mass
every morning of the conclave, while
in the Sala Ducale will be movable
altars for the masses to be celebrated
every morning by each cardinal.
The gendarmes and Palatine guards
wUl be transferred to the building in
the Belvedere courtyard, where the
poor pilgrims were lodged during the
last Jubilee, the gendarmes' barracks
being transformed Into kitchens, pan
tries, ote. The Belvedere courtyard
will be converted Into general quarters
for the carpenters and other workmen.
Tne courtyard is quite unrecognizable.
The long lines of glass windows of the
Loggia Raphael have been painted up
to a certain height as precaution, and
hades have been put on every window
to better Insure secrecy.
Assurances have been gfiven that ev
