People View Remains of Deceased Pope BODY OF LEO XIII. WILL BE IN TERRED THIS EVENING AT 8. PETER'S. Rome, July, 24. Again today tlu body of Leo XIII. lay In slate In the bimllica of St. Peter's and about 30, 000 passed before the catafalque dur ing the day. Thia Is probably a slight Increase over the number who viewed the remains yesterday und the aug mentation was doubtless due to the widely circulated reports that today would be the last on which the public would have an opportunity of looking on the body of the pontiff. These re ports proved to be baseless and the body will continue In the chapel of the Sacrament at least during the greater part of tomorrow. The fears ex pressed by the Vatican authorities concerning decomposition appear to have been exaggerated. ' With Impressive ceremonies the body will be Interred tomorrow even ing In a sarcopheagus at St. Peter's, where It will remain until taken to Its final resting place In the church of St. John lateran. Italian soldiers again today preserved order Inside St. Tetcr's, where there was a repeti tion of the scenes and crowds which occurred yesterday. The duy was notable for the solemn masses celebrated for the repose of the soul of the late Pontiff at St. Peter's and other famous churches in Rome, which were largely attended, despite the ceremonies which were oc curring at the Basilica. Interest Is now largely centered In the corning conclave and Its result. The gossip of the day may be summed up briefly by saying that Cardinal Oottl's chalices of election seem to have Improved In comparison with those of other cardinals who have been mentioned as likely to succeed the dead Pontiff, although thcr; still exists a strong feeling that some one, hitherto scarcely tulked of, may wear the tiara. Much comment was excited at the VHtlcan by a drive which Cardinal Oreglla took through the Vatican gar dens this morning. The workers In the more quiet precinct of the gar dens were started when they saw the well known papal currlage uppronch lng, surrounded by Swiss and noble guards. Their hearts Jumped as they saw the face of the cardinal looking out at them. The camerllngo did not appear to be satisfied with what he saw. He shook his head, exclaiming dismally: "What decay: what neg lect I could not remain shut up in this melancholy place. I should die within a year." The gossips of the Vatican now wish to know if this means that the cardinal would not ac cent the papacy which seems practi cally Impossible, or accepting, would refuse to be the voluntary traditional Vatican prisoner. It seems that .the more probable Interpretation of his remarks would be that If made Pope, he would Institute great changes In the gardens. The congregation of cnrdinals has net yet decided whether the note Which the sacred college Intends to nddrPRs to the powers concerning th situation of the papacy at Rome shall be presented tomorrow, when the re ception of the diplomatic body oc curs. At the meeting of the congregation today Cardinal Satolll asked when the conclave would be opened.- Cardinal Oreglin replied that he thought that on the evening of Friday, July 31, all the cardinals might enter their calls and be ready for the first meeting of the conclave on Augustl.

All the mil nlclpal rights In the church buildings at Guayama, Arroyo and Salinas have been ceded by the municipal authorities of these towns to the Catholic church The question of the ownership of the Catholic church buildings has been disputed ever since the United State took over the islands, Spain, under the old regime, claiming title to the edifices. which, however, were maintained out of the municipal funds. It Is believed the same policy will prevail throughout the Island. Th hnnutlful storv. "Lrtznrre." be gins as a serial In next Wednesday's Citizen.

Visiting Dentists Get Down To Business of Convention The opening session of the National association of pental Kxamltiers Was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in the ball room of the Mattery Park hotel and was attended by seventy live delegates, who ale members of tbe state examining boards of nearly ev ery state in the I'nlted States. This meeting is, as was stated In The Citizen yesterday, the advance guard of the National liental associa tion which Ms to meet here Tuesday In convention. Of course, everything done by the examiners Is expected to be kept quiet until after the opening session of the national convention and all of the meetings held by this body will be private. This meeting consisted principally of organization work, but this was promptly done and Dr. A. C. Kirk, of the Dental department of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, said yester day when asked about his opinion of the prospects of the coming conven tion: "I am greatly pleased wllh the opening session, held this morning, nnd I am very glad to see that so many dentists have taken so much In terest In th? work of the National Dental association, which Is evidenced by the lnrge crowd In attendance at this early date. Astiville will b crowded but I reckon the hotels of the city have taken care of larger crowds than this one will be and I am sure they can do so again.

The failure of Tajlnt J. Taylor & Co., will inevitably be connected with the great market operations of James It. Keene by reason of bis family connection with and frequent employ ment of the firm. Mr. Keene's oper- i ions in stocks are too numerous to detail and much mystery usually at taches to them necessarily from their nature, lint the market management Of the fluted States SV'et stocks, on behalf of the syndicate and the con duct of a Southern Piicllic pool are the operation;! with which his name are most notably connected.

Talbot J. Ttylor Co., p'presetit.tlives of the pool, felt them selves powerful enough to challenge tl"e Villon Pacific partii-i r"fusal to ndopt this policy," nd to carry the nuarrcl to the courts.

There was no con firmation of this story, but It is based on the following: Last summer, Talbot J. Taylor was reported to have had a falling out with his father-in-law, arising out of reported purchases of Southern Pac ilic by Mr. Taylor on his own account Independently -of the pool, which Mr. Keene was running In that stock. Ac cording to the story. Mr. Keene was angry when he discovered the fact. Willi the break In the stock market laat October, Southern . Pacific declln e I t: 1 1 (1 It was asserted In some quar ters that Mr. Taylor was among the losers. Since that time Mr. Keene has not been much in the office of J. T. Tavlor Co., but this was probably due to the fact that he was 111 at his home and could not get down town for a number of months. It was alleged that Mr Keene had stopped giving any orders to the firm of Ids son-in-law for execution on the stock exchange, but that he was using the firm of Sirnniel Habcock for the largest number-of his transactions. Hut many doubted that tflere was any truth' In" this story because the veter an operator, since his return to Wall street several weeks ago. has emit lim ed to make his headquarters in his dd office, immediately adjoining those I' J.

Prof. Wurrall's master piece In a picture Unit Is bound to at tract widespread attention wherever eeu. It Is a most remarkable palnl 'ng; wonderful In lis scope and breadth of conception; In its fidelity of reprolucl ion, and magical In Its effect of light ami shade. It Is a picture that grows upon one until ll enthralls with its b"auty ami awes with its grandeur. It depicts tie valley of the l-'relich Hio.ad river, one hundred miles of magnificent mountains, and Mt miles of picturesque landscape. Hut it does moi l than that. It piles up beyond the valley and around It the mountain ranges that rear their heads In the clouds, or fade away Iu the blue haze of the distance, and ovr t all there is an orient of sunlight qiarkling with tender colors.

Smith, who In turn was shot by Jurnuglti" and la now dying. Taylor Smith, uson of John U Smith, was shot and killed by Deputy Sheriff Peterson, who was try ing to arrest him. A special to the Journal and Tribune says the trouble was cause J by mis understanding In regard to a settle ment between the East Tennessee Brewing company and Smith, who was the agent of the company at La Fol lette. Jantlgun was sent out to make a settlement. In a row, Smith struck Jarnagln and Jarnagln In turn fired striking Smith under the left arm. Smith ran to hi saloon and he and his son started on a hunt for Jarnagln who hud gone to the Cumberland hotel and hidden behind the ( lerk's desk. When the Smiths rushed Into the ho tel, the elder one was shot In six places, once near the heart and once near tbo left shoulder' and four times In tho stomach. Jarnagln was shot four times iu the stomach and died Instantly. In attempting to arrest Taylor Smith Deputy Sheriff Peterson shot and In stantly killed him, although It lfj said that the young man had both hands up when fired upon.

Here .ind there the sunbeams touch the slopiug bills and verdant valley. I'roin the blue haze comes mountain aller mountain and peak upon peak, an almost Innumerable host of them. So true, however. Is the aerial perspective, so perfectly does each plane keep its .place with rela tion to each other, and with the view as a whole, that you forget the picture and imagine yourself looking at the actual scene, as dill the artist before putting brush to canvas. In the ren ter of the scene towers Plsgah, eight een inih s distant,, with The Rat to the left, as though trying to crawl to Its summit. It Is almost lu the clouds the great mass of snow-white clouds that seem melting In the sunlight and slowly coming down the mountain side. Yonder the shadow of another cloud moving over the endless moun tains which-pilo upon each other un til lost In the sky, seeming to reach the very heavens. On either side of these two rise peak after peak, many of them between 4,000 and fi.000 feet high and higher than anything in the famous White Mountains; higher than any p-,ak east of the Rockies. Coining to Asheville two years sgo, to recuperate from over work and heat prostration, Mr. Worrall was at once Inspired by the grandeur and beauty of these mountains. The voar of rest ordered by his physician was spent In absorbing the beauties of the country. He determined to show the outside world what had not even approxi mately been done on any series of pictures, the grandeur and extent of this wonderful country. Sketch after sketch, plan after plan (numer able were made, many points consid ered. He finally decided upon the present plan of pictures ns embodying the spirit of the vast country. While preparing for this great work Mr. Worrall founded the Asheville Acud-Tralnlng.
