So the body of Pope Leo will .remain until tomor- row, watched 1 by uniformed officers of the noble guard and rough clad Fran- cisan penitentiaries. Tomorrow the sacred college of cardin.-ils will assemble for the im- pressive ceremony of officially pros mouncing Pope Leo dead'.

The ultimate resting place iof the dead pontiff will be in the magnificent Basclliea of St. John the Lateran. ' Pope Leo's final moments were marked by that same serenity and -its votion, and when he was conscious, that calm intelligence watch is asso- ciated with his 25 years'\ pontificate.

He was looking through the hole through which, the rod passed which, connects with, the rudder, when the rod was thrust through the hole, totting him in the eye. The injury was dressed by Dr. Forsythe. It is not known yet Whether he will lose the sight of his eye. An interesting game of hall was played Sunday between the \Biscuit Shooters\ of 'the .Grossmon house and' the \Town Talks\ of the village, The game resulted in the score of 10 to 7 in favor of the \Town Talks.\ James Curran, of Brooklyn, a car- penter on George C.

The launch was some distance from *ne dock and when he attempted to get aboard he slipped and 1 fell be- tween the boat and the dock. He hit his head on the dock when he fell amd bruised it quite seriously, but other than a. sore head and a good wetting, is at work' again. Arrangements have been made for an additional mail, beginning yester- day, July 20, and continuing until Sept. 10.

On the Sew YorK market when supplies of dajry products became burdensome and- dealers desire to clear 1 •the atmosphere, prices are sometimes cut to stimulate demand and effect a clearance. There was something of this condition in the local cheese market Saturday. The make of cheese, under favorable weather conditions, had been large during the past six weeks, Demand from the leading trade centers, wiii'e.'.' ' of fair volume, has lacked thevforee?, : : necessary to keep'.'supplies,cleaned'nP'r' • and a large amount' of chee'gfe \has - -., •>' been placed in cold storagk.for laclc , of other outlet.

'The I trade has evidently been >vaitmg to be sure that the low point hadi been reached before dipping in heavily for stock. It was this situation that resulted in a lower range of prices on the local market Saturday. Buyers held that if they could get the cheese at about % cent off from the market of a. weelc. ago, they believed trade would be en- livened apd demand quickened. They succeeded in. their effort to secure th.e 'cheese at the desired level of prices, and now it remains to be seen what the result will be in the effect on tlie market. r Salesmen, however,' are well satisfied 1 with th;e returns for their cheese thus far this seasrn, and in spite of -a Jarge make prices have-'ruled high, and no* until two Weeks ago did cheese bring > the seller less than 10 cents. It haa been a profitable season to the cheese lairyman and he is doing very little kicking . Large cheese brought 9%c, small singles 9%e and twins Oy^o on the lo- -al market Saturday. This Is a decline of 14° °n small sizes and %c on largei from one week ago. President Pitkin called the Ex- change to order at 2:30. Among ,the day's visieors was As- sistant Commissioner George D.

President Pitkin invited ,, Assistant, fmnmissinnar Flanders,,to'.^e -plat-' , fofm and Mr. Flanders addressed .the,* Exchange. He paid a .Wg|}r -cOmpli-- cnent to, the New York stat-e f! cheese,, . and reviewed the work of t/ie state:' - in its effort to advance the dairy in^,' dustry. Expert instructors are Jiuy-U nished by the state t o help the malfef« . turn 'out a product more uniform 1 'and! of better quality. A long and deter- mined fight has been made to protect the cheese maker in» the high reputa^- tion attained for their product. The misuse of the New York state cheese brand on inferior products by un- scrupulous dealers in other states ha* resulted in national legislation; to pre- vent such fraudulent practice. Mr. Flanders said many obstacles had' been met and several plans had been tried in the movement to Secure the desired legislation. The -commissioner explained tha*. the department had made the rule re- quiring the return of all state cheese brands at the close of the season ins order to keep track of the brands and protect the cheese makers against some one obtaining the brands and, - making a fraudulent xtse of them. A separate number is issued to each, fac- tory and it is intended that the same number be given to that factory each year, so that any honors it. factory number may win in the market on the score of quality may go where da- served.
