Death Of The Pope

[Rome Cor. New York Herald.] Eome, with her tears for King Victor Ëmmanuel scarcely dried, with the garb j of royal mourning just laid by, is called i upon to weep afresh over the death of au aged priest and Kirjg, whose benign sway ■was acknowledged by nigh 200,000,000 souls over the wide world. The officials of Humbert I. move solemnly about the city. There is the atmosphere of gloorn about the Quirinal palace, whence so often in the olden days the Pope now dead had blessed the Romans, and where nosv the Princes of the house of Piedmont have their abode. The churches ■ are thronged by votaries, and tears are falling from many eyes and prayers are j rising from many lips. Along the Corso ! a,nd Rotonda the loungers gather in j knots, chat, and ask details. In the neighboihood of the Vatican and the great basilica of St. Peter anxious crowds ; are questioning eveiybody with the least j appearance of possessing information. 3o often has the story of the Pope's death been told that some are , lous sU. The pólice and municipal i guarda prevent too close an approach to : the Vatican. But the story is true. Death has come at last to relieve the ; aged Pontiff from his sufferings. During the flrst day of the ■week the Pope's condition had been so much improved ; that the liveliest hopes of a prolor ged amelioration were entertained. 33 much ' was his Holiness improved yesterday j thst he was able to walk a few steps suppoited by two preiates. It is now believed j that this exertion was fatal. Last night the patiënt Was seized with alarming aymptoms of weakness. At 4 o'clock this morning the change in his condition was so marked that it was at once seen by the attending physicians that the mortal ] struggle would soon be over. It was I the death agony - the meroil'ully mild death agony of an oíd, oíd man. Te i Vicar and all the resident j dinals were summoned to the Vatican. It was scarcely day when the greater j part of the College had assembled. The j last sacramente were administered to the dying Pope by the Cardinal Parebianco. I An order was issued to prevent any persou not especially authorized from i ing access to the Pope's department. Egress from the Vatican was also j hibited, the guard strictly enforcing this order. Prayers were ordered and offered in all the churches of Rome. So the morning moved slowly on, in momentary expectation of the Pope's demise. All the necessaryarrangementswere quickly made. The foreign Cardinals werenotified. During the forenoon all the ' bassadors accredited to the Papal Court called to make inquiries. King Humbert, too, not unmindful of the dying Pope's solicitude for his father during the late King's last moments, constantly i sent for information. From the moment of their arrival at the Vatican, the Cardinals were assembled in council in tñe room next to that of the dying Pope, but all together, with the dignitaries of the ! Papal Court, were at his bedside at the moment of his death, which occurred at a few minutes before 5 in the afternoon. ?he end was peaceful. An Enterprising Reporter. A fashionable young lady of the South 3ide, a Miss Hutehinson, was to be ! ried to Mr. Noble Judah. Grand j ions had been made. Kinsley received unlimited orders íor a banquet, the best orohestra was engaged, the dear 500 : were bidden, and the trousseau was said o be gorgeous. The day carne- so did ihe reporters, anxious tor the fray. 'apa Hutchinson was interviewed. Short, crisp and not at all sweet was his eply : "Nothing of the sort, sir; nothing of the sort - man's house his castle," etc. Miss Hutchinson was j erviewed. " Oh, no ; ehe could not ' hink of such a thing." Nothing was to be said about it in the papers, and she would rather burn it all up than have a stitch of her outfit mentioned. The reusals were more decided than courteous, and ire was aroused in the soul of a Times reporter, who resolved to ' )ort that wedding or die. I give the story as it was told me. The brilliant youth departed ; and, after consulting ' nth a woman of wit, called on the j onable modiste who had made ths j seau, and beguiled her, iu consideration l of an immense puff ($100), to give him the particulars. She did so, and, not only that, but, liaving access to the louse, could furnish a tolerably correct j ist of presents. Two important items aeing provided for, the enterprising youth, when the shades of night carne j on, calmly seated himself on the stone in front of the Hutchinson j sion, and interviewed each coaoliman as iie deposited his fair and fashionable 'reight at the door. Consequence, a goodly list of ñames. A fertile ! aation did the rest, and the Times carne i out in the morning with a four-coluinn report. The Hutchinsons raved and were astounded. The other papers were furiousat the "scoop," and - most laughable of all - some one started the story that Hutchinsou pere had paid for the notice, his unpopularity tempting the press to ignore the afifair. How bitter this last pill was to the Hutchinson palate may be iraagined. - Chicago Cor. Cincinnati Enquircr. Revised Statutes.
