: Ever one noticed that, while In the past
Dr. Iponnl never participated In the. re

for thfc Brut time Dr. Laponnl's face was
tranquil' and even hopeful looking, though
It was said that he was very far fro-n

amelioration which would lead to the pon

refreshed and stronger, and he said with
Inimitable energy that he wunted to re

As the pope Is much touched by the evi

all parts of. the world, Er. Laponnl showed
him some of. the telegrams which hud
reached, him, as the pope's physician, In
cluding the- following message from Rev.
Father Cleary, which was sent from Erie,
Pa.: ''before liar dies I wish to see the
world at peace. Ood blessJilm. D not

The pontiff was much sAtlsfled. He said:
"The Americans have always shown ma

Maya He Should Grow Fat.
Throughout this procedure the pop
showed no sign of being exhausted. In
deed, he Jokingly alluded to the amount of
nourishment which was being Imposed upon
him and said: "I ought to grow fat, as I
have never had In my life as much as I
get now."
This buoyancy of spirit was considered
to be one of the principal co-efflclenta In
the struggle with death which this ad
mirable old man has made In the last
seven days. The doctors, previous to the
alarming attack of this afternoon, said
there was not the slightest diminution In
the acuteness of the pontiff's mental
faculties, as shown this morning In a re
markable manner when the pope Insisted
on going over some of the larger questions
of church policy laid before him by Cardi
nal Rampolla, the papal secretary of atate.
When the pope's condition presented such
favorable symptoms In th morning Pope
Leo decided, after Cardinal Rampolla, to
receive also all the other cardinals living
In Rome, to the number of about twenty
five, as a special mark of his gratification
at the part they took In his Illness.
A special notice was sent calflng them to
the Vatican. In fact. Cardinals Oreglia,
Oottl and Delia Volpe were received and
had a short conversation with his holiness,
but soon after the dangerous condition of
the patient developed, compelling Dr. La
ponnl to stop the other receptions.

Christian Endeavor opened today. The al
tendance a the opening session
taxing th capacity of the lmmt
though
Immense tent
which had been provided for the occasion,
did not Include as many delegates as had
been expected, on account of delayed trains.
It Is Impossible to even give a reasonable
estimate of the number now In the city,
but It will run into the thousands.
The opening of the convention was pre
ceded by the annual business meeting of
the Christian Endeavor corporation, at
which the o Ulcers for the ensuing year were
elected and reports of officers submitted.
A rousing song service, led by Rev. F. H.
Jacobs of New York, preceded the opening
of the convention, which was called to
order at 2 by President Francis E. Clark.
father of the Christian E.ndeavor move
ment. After devotional exercises, led by
Rev. Dr. B. B. Tyler of Denver, a wel
coming song was sung by a chorus of 600
voices, conducted by Prof. W. J. White
man. Welcoming addresses followed.
Rev. George B. Stewart of Auburn, N. T.,
presided at the meeting In Tent Endeavor
tonight.
William Shaw, treasurer of the society,
and acting secretary since the resignation
of Oeneral Secretary John Willis Baer, read
tha general secretary's report. .
Numbers Moltlply Exceedingly.
Describing the growth of the movement ho
said:
From ono society. In 1RS1. to 64.020 in 1903.
from one denomination to more than
eighty, from one city to every country,
and from fifty members to 3,82Z,3W, ana
1,600.0110 more In societies bearing strictly
sectarian names, but patterned after
Christian Endeavor and gaining Inspiration
from It. A net gain In number of societies
in one year ot over 2,000.
This numerical Increase will be made
vivid when In tho closing session of this
convention the fellowship banners made
bv Endeavorers acros the seas are pre
sented to the states and provinces that have
made at least 10 per cent increase in num
ber of societies during the past eight
months. The following Is the llat to be
thus honored: Colorado. New Mexico.
Alaska, Oregon, Louisiana, Georgia, Wash
ington, Oklahoma) Utah, Indiana, Missouri,
Aseimooia.
Great success has attended the work for
the boys and girls through the Junior
and Intermediate societies. The Idea of
dividing the young people's society Into
two or more sections of fifty members each
so that all the young people of the con
gregation can be reached ana tralnea is
meetina with great favor. The Grace
Temple Baptist church, Philadelphia, Rev.
Kuseeii 11. Lonweu, u. u., pastor, naa
fourteen such societies, and many churchea
have two or more.
Indiana receives the Chinese banner for
the largest proportionate gain In Interme
diate societies and will hold It until the
next convention.
The increase In foreign lands naa been
equally marked. Especially notable has
been the progress made In Germany, Fin
land, France, Sweden, Japan, Corea,
Persia, India, China ana Boutn America.
During the year 176,000 have come from
the ranks of Christian Endeavor into the
membershlD of the churches. And thou
sands more would have com If more pas
tors has appreciated wnat a magnincent
field of evangelistic effort God had placed
at their band.
' Calls - Religions 'Expansion Force.
j Rey.':.Fra4bls- .B. Clark,, president of the
society, ""then delivered vhia VsAOAlr'-aaureas.
He based, his address n, th fundamental
lde that Christianity Is . religion of ex
pansive forces.'-that Vyou can . no: mor
confine the religion of Chriat to Its old
limits than you can grow an ek In . flower
pot" and that "to cease to grow is to be
gin to die."
A true; Society of Christian Endeavor
should reach every young person In th
community either through Its active mem
bership or Its associate membership. To
this end he urged a special effort to enlist
more active members, to obtain mor as
sociate members' also, this being th evan
gelistic end of the society) and to enlarge
the honorary membership fot the sake of"
promoting aympathetlo relations between
the older members of th churoh and tha
young people.
Even more emphasis waa laid upon en
larging the number of local societies, and
in this direction provldenc was declared
to have pointed tho way during the vast
year, for nearly 2,000 new societies have
been formed within six months.
As a definite proposition to insure this
Increase, Dr. Clark proposed that every
state strive to gain at least 10 per cent an
nually for the next ten years, thus enter
ing Into. a ten years extension campaign.
As each stat secures Its 10 per cent- In
crease, a beautiful foreign banner from
some distant land, representing th fellow
ship ot the movement, will be presented to
th state, and as lor eacn new state, ad
mltted to the union a new star Is added
to th national flag, so for each 10 per cent
of gain another star will be added to this
foreign banner until ten show that th 100
par cent ha been gained.
Dr. Clark proposed tor a campaign motto
the words,' "Fidelity and Fellowship."
Tha new secretary, Van Ogden Vogt, waa
then Introduced and Installed. The meet
ing closed with a reception by the officer
of the society.
At th annual business- meeting In the
afternoon all th old officers wer re
elected, as follows: President, Rev. Fran
cl H. Clark. D. D. ! treasurer, William
Shaw j clerk, Ouorg B. Graff; auditor, Fred
H. Kidder. The retiring trustees were also
re-elected and presidents were named for
the various states, territorial and provincial
sooletles. The trustees postponed their an
nual meeting until tomorrow.

He said the papers had signally failed

Is not In telepathic communication with
every reporter and every member of the
staff during every moment of the day.
Considering th haste and manner In which
dally papers are and must be made the
wonder Is that more mistakes are not
made. Mr. Rosewatet, did not agree with
the sentiment, expressed by a colleague at
the opening session, but declared that a
newspaper to be successful must have a
soul, and must have a strong, personal,
guiding hand. Personal Journalism might
not be so strong as In the paat, but the
personnel of newspaper men would be as
strong and Influential th profession is

Owen Scott, editor of th Decatur (111.)
HeraldAandled "Buslnes or Politics,

liveliest discussion so far Indulged in by
th convention. II urged newspaper men
to study and know th value of their prop
erty, and to quit depreciating th value pf
It They had two things to sell, paper
and space, and should b paid fair and
profitable rate for both of them. He ar
gued that newspaper should pay less at
tention to politic and drop politic except
Immediately preceding election, and pay
more attention to business.
W. M. Miller of th Tlmas-Recorder,
Zanesvllle, O., agreed with Mr. Scott that
honesty in politic paid, for when a short
tlm ago he refused to support a corrupt
candidate for Judge a stock company
through the aforesaid corrupt candidats's
efforts, waa organised and for an invest
ment of $18,000 In th paper he had been
paid $68,730 in cash. But he did not agree
with the argument that politic should be
dropped thre year and nine month out
of every four year. Mr. Greer of Okla

of th Council Bluffs Commercial club, ex
tended a heart and witty Invitation to all
present, and th newspaper fraternity of
Omaha, to visit his city and Lafc Manawa
this afternoon and evening. He told of the '
arrangements msde to entertain and an
enrhnslastlo acceptsnce of the Invitation
was Immediately given.
Will M. Maupin of the Commoner talked
on "Sense and Sentiment," declaring that
thre Is entirely too much of th latter and
entirely too little of the former displayed
by newspaper men In conducting their
mislneea.. If the time spent In writing
grandiloquent editorials filled with plati
tudes wer Instead devoted to hustling for
business It would be a great change for
the better.
W. M. Miller of the Zanesvllle (O.) Times-
Recorder told of "The Advantages of Ar
bitration" and answered questions regard
ing tho settlement of a strike on his psper
by that method, the expense of the arbitra

Typographical union and the American
Newspaper Publishers' association, of which
he Is a member.
Women Visit Bennett's.
A majority of the women attending the
convention, under the guidance of the local
committee of women, took a trolley rldo
through 'the Hanscon park and Walnut
Hill districts, stopping for a few minute
at the Country club. On their return they
visited Bennett', where refreshment were
served In the cafe on the third floor. W.
R. Bennett, in welcoming them, tald he
was particularly fortunate this week, a
on Tuesday night he had th pleasure of
being on the committee to welcome th

Th Oregon delegation, ; Including Past

yesterday. The delegates wear handsome

The committee on credentials brought In
a report giving names of all delegates, and
showing that fifty-nine associations are

WOMAN'S WORK IN JOURNALISM
Mr. Mary Holland Klncald UlveS
.' Interesting;' Address 'on'
, lB. Topic,.
The temperature waa the prinqlpal fea
ture of last night' meeting of the National
Editorial association, and the greater part
of, tho seats in-the Orpheum were vacant
for this reason. W. E. Pabor -of Pabor
Lake, J"la., the poet laureate of the as
soclatlon, began the evening with the an
nual- poem, "The Woman Beautiful." Mrs.
H. F. Btaple of Rockport, Mo., followed
singing sweetly, "My Redeemer and My
Lord" to much applause. Mrs. Mary Hoi
land - Klncatd of the Milwaukee Sentinel,
who began her newspaper work In this city
on the old Herald about fourteen years ago
next spoke most en tert singly on "Woman's
I Work In Journalism."
ph said many In the profession ao not
ther is .fly place In Journalism
for women and that they regret that she,
with her adlectlvaa and enthusiasm has In-
J. flWvOf their work. A decade
ago. said Mr. Klncaid, a few women wr
i grudgingly admitted to tnis sacred neia
allowed to send In notes ot European tour
or tatting stories. Now they had left the
tatting far behind and now some of the
same stories are being written by men
while women sometimes occupy the execu
tlva dssks. The srreater number of women
m journalism have been admitted through
the gat of tho society note. But ald
the speaker, editors - will always consider
the ball and reception inferior In Importance
to the ball game and the prise fight, and
so the woman reporter must work along
and wait for her chance to write a good
story until some moment when the city
editor Is short of men. Th literary girl
gets the feature stories to write, th
"teary" stories which hav th sentiment
and pathos In them which do not appeal to
i k. . nnnrinr Rha will n,ni-
Emitted Mrs. Klncaid. to change fact. In
a way to better flio story. The girl who
etin really get news Is the Joy of the city
A whan she Is romnetent la often
d'tor ana wnen sne is competent I often
i imposeo on. Dome eauors say tnat a woman
has not th strength for newspaper work;
-.. that the lri whn h.. - ,.
f0'" tn" the S'rl who has not ths
I tlm to clean up her desk has been doing
I the work which the men of the staff dts
like. - When she Is 111 they do not think of
this, but Only that she Is threatened with
nervous - prostration. Then, too, she Is
missed more than any other person lit the
office, but when she Is away th editor
should remember that she ha lost no time
by being "overcome by the menu at some
banquet." Mr. Klncaid thought It pos
sible that many of the editor believed that
ther never was a good woman reporter.
Although by Instinct she may not know an
Item, she Is capable of great things when
taught by the editor. But the editor ar
nowtdsys so busy that tn girl must de
pend on her own Instincts to win. Tact
Is of the greatest Importance to the woman
In Journalism and she must hav the rare
talent of silence. '
City editor who object to petticoat In
vasion say they want all-around reporters
and not women whom they cannot aend
to ov-r fires and murders. It Is only In
the two branches of the work police and
sports that women cannot be used. Most
editors will not be bothered by having a
woman reporter unless she Is better
quipped than the men, but to his credit
When he doe employ on he pay her
th aam wages. Women hav changed
the paper, eh Said, since fifty year ago,
when they wer mad only for men, and
now It eucess depends largely on pleasing
these reader. Mrs. Klncaid closed with a
plctur of what Journalism will b In th
future and woman' place therein.
Jules Lumbard next sang "I'm a Child of
a King." after which Mr. Dymond took
eharge of a short memorial to th dead
ot th jrrt a ha been th custom of ths
association at It convention. Among th
dead were: Marshall N. Ric of Portland,
James Mitchell of th Little Rock Demo
crat, Mr. Shaw of Dixon, III., J. C. Nor by
and N. S. Wiley of West Virginia. Tast
President Walter Williams of ths Herald
of Columbia, Mo., closed th evening with
a very eloquent and able address on th
subject, "The World's Press and th
World' Fair." He contrasted the great
number of periodicals In this country with
the few In Egypt and said that Hberly
and freedom of speech wer requisite for
a well developed press. He recited Inter
estingly th characteristics of the Euro
pean press and told amusing Incidents
and in conclusion mad a strong appeal
for th International press congress at tha
St Louis exposition.
FEW WORDS WITH THE EDITORS
Rev. E. Comble Smith Give Idea
of What a Newspaper
Shoald Be.
OMAHA. July . 1903. To th Editor of
The Bee: I am not about to perpetuate
the folly of presuming to suggest how a
newspaper should be worked. I do not
possess the requisite knowledge, and there
fore I can offer no pertinent counsel. I
stand In ceaseless wonder before th phe
nomena of the dally press. It amaslng re
sources. Its far-gathered Intelligence, th
skill of Its managsment the breadth and
variety of it outlook, and th general sa
gacity of It Judgments But In th pres
ence of the gathering of th National Edi
torial aasoclation In our city I will venture
to offer one reflection. Editors as a class
ar not averse to passing Judgment upon
tha pulpit; are even sometimes prone to
suggest how a church shouid be run; you
will take kindly then what a layman has
to say about your business as with aw
he approaches tha sanctum aantorum of
tha editorial room.
An editor should adopt the prophetic Ideal,
and set ns his aim the creation of superior
men and the general purging of social re
latlonships. lie should make his paper
more than a portrait of tne common life,
he should add to It the element of vision.
It becomes then more than a register, also
a revelation; moro than a representative of
life as it Is, it will also be an unveiling
of life as it might be. We do not make
men recoil from dirt by a mere description
of the dirt, but by displaying the dirt side
by side with the pure. We shall create
repulsion from vice, not so much by a
photograph a by a vision. It Is not by
the realistic but by the ideallstla that wc
shall arouse the hunger for a sweeter and
larger life. I confess that I would like
to see In our papers a little more of th
vision, a little more of tne Ideal, a little
more of the virgin white, If only that my
sight may be helped a little to see the
smnllness of selfishness, tne shamefulness
of Ignorance, the loathsomeness of vice. I
shall ace the black better when It Is placed
side by side with the white.
I want' to se every fountain of public
influence sweetened and purified, and If
ye editors will proceed with lofty aim to
purge and purify the life of society even
while you depict Its frailties and Its vice
you will do. much to sweeten and brighten
every phase of life.
