Popo Leo XIII. is dead. Tho last flicker of lifo expired at four minutes past four dclock yes terday afternoon and tho pontiff now lies at rest. The period of over two wcoks that Popo Leo passed In tho shndow of death was no less wonder ful than his life. His splendid battlt against dlscaso was watched tho world ovor with sympathetic admiration and ended only after a series of tremendous efforts to conquer the weakness of his nged frame by tho marvelous will power of his mind. Tho pleuro-pnou-monia with which his holiness had been suffering was scarcely so respon sible for his death as that inevitable decay of tlesuo which ensues upon 93 years of Ufo. Tho tested steel which had bent so often heforo human Ills was bound to break at last.

Popo Leo's final momonts wero marked by that same serenity and de votion and when ho was conscious that calm Intelligence which Is associated with his 25 years' pontificate. His was no easy death. An hour before bo died, turning to Dr. Lapponi and his devoted valet, PIo Contra, ho mur mured: "The pain I suffer Is most ter rible." Yet his parting words wero not of his physical, anguish that ho suffered, bnt were whispered benedic tions upon tho cardinals and his nephews, who knelt at tho bedside and the last look of his almost sight less eyes was towards tho great Ivory crucifix hanging In tho death chamber. Practically all tho cardinals now In Rome, kneoling at tho bedside, watched tho passaso of his soul. Earlier In tho day Cardinal Seraflno Vannutelll had impressively pro nounced tho ' absolution in artlculo mortis. Tho condition of his holiness varied from agony to coma. Wishing to re lievo him, Dr. Mazzonl suggested that morphine should bo administered, but Dr. Lapponi did not agree, fearing that tho end might be quickened. ROOSEVELT'S TRIBUTE TO LEO.
