Mar* chiafava and Amici devoted their utmost energies to stimulate their patient and keep him alive. The cardinals were notified of the pope’s grave condition, and some of them who entered the sick room describe the impressive and heart- rendering scenes, especially when the pontiff, rousing himself from time to time, spoke. Once he said: ‘Tn ancient times, the pope, by a word, might have stayed the slaughter, but now he is impo tent.” Prayers were said by thousands and the bells of the churches soun ded when the sacrament was ex posed upon all the altars. Extreme unction was adminis tered by Mgr. Zsmpini, sacristan to his holiness, amid a most touch ing scene. The sisters of the pope nnd his niece were overcome with grief. Cardinal Merry del Val knelt by the side o f his bed, where other cardinals joined him. the members of the household in toning prayers. The dying pope in a moment of lucidity, said: “ Now I begin to think as the end is approaching that the Al mighty, in His inexlmustable goodness, wishes to spare me the honors Europe is undergoing.” GREAT BALE—At the 5 „ and 10 cent store.
