Tho Joke that tho postal official took

LEO LIES IN DEATH.
The Pope Breathed His Last at 4:04
Monday Afternoon.
llu Win Connclom Until Nour tint End and
III SulTorliie at TIiim-a Iiitminn, Ills
Condition Vnrylnu front
A cony tit Count.
Homo, July 21. 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.
Last night tho emaciated and life
less frame which hold so bravo a
spirit laid on the bed In tho Vatican
besldo which almost all tho world has
prayed. Tho red damask coverlet
rests lightly over tho body, tho cardi
nals scarlet capo is about the shoul
ders, whllo on IiIb head has been placed
tho papal hood of velvet, bordered
with ermlno. A whlto silk handker
chief Is bound about his chin and In
tho hands which havo blessed so many
thousands has been placed a crucifix.
So Popo Leo remained until to-day
watched by uniformed officers of tho
noblo guard nnd rough-clad Francis
can penitentiaries, who will keep a
ceasoli'ss vigil until the burkil cere
monies. To-day the sacred college of cardi
nals will assemble for tho Impresslvo
ceremony of officially pronouncing
Pope Leo dead. After this sad func
tion has been performed tho body will
bo taken to tho small throne room ad
joining tho death chamber, where It
will bo embalmed. The funeral cere
monies will extend over nine days, tho
remains being removed to the cathe
dral of St. Peter's, where they will Ho
In state. Tho ultimate resting place
of tho dead pontiff will be In the mag
nificent basilica of St. John Latoran.
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.
