London, Juno 20. Thousands of
Londoners tire fleeing from the city to
escnpc the coronntlon hordes from the
provinces and abroad whoso capacity
for demonstration is so boundless that
tho night, so far as sleep Is concerned,
has become n decidedly curtailed pe
riod. Fears of panic following an accident
within the walls and barriers erected
by the police have also Influenced thou
sands of the more nervous to get away
from the crush. The railroads have
been quick to take advantage of the
situation and nre widely advertising
excursions, at attractive rates, to sea
side and country resorts on tho days
of tho big events.
No less than $75,000 has been ex-
pended on the construction of gates
shutting off the main approaches to
the processional route. These barriers
have been built so massively that they
could withstand tho onslaught of a j
regiment when once closed, and the
crowds, however savage, will be un
able to make the least Impression upon
them,

POPE IS NEAR DEATH.
Pontiff Has Fainting Spell and Anxiety
Is Felt at Vatican.
Home, Juno 20. The pope has had
another fainting spell. He rallied
quickly upon reaching his private
quarters In the Vatican, but the condi
tion of ills health Is causing grave
anxiety.
Although the members of his holi
ness' entourage are strictly forbidden
to mention the subject of his illness,
or to spread rumors of an alarming
nature, It Is known that they fear he
may die suddenly of heart trouble.
The effect of the warm weather has
accentuated the symptoms of depres
sion and cardiac weakness which Pope
Plus has been exhibiting for a con
siderable time.
His sisters, to whom he is devoutly
attached, apparently fear the worst,
for they have taken quarters in a
modest fiat In the Plana BustlcuccI,
very close to the Vatican, and are In
constant telephonic communication
with the pope's physicians.
Frequent visits of Cardinal VIves y
Tuto, the confessor nnd fav.orlte ad
viser of his holiness, have caused much
comment within the past two or three
days.
The American correspondent learns
that the pope's Illness Is from nn ad
vanced stage of arteriosclerosis (a
hardening and thickening of the walls
of the arteries), due to senile decay.
It Is known that there has been 'an
"active change of Ideas" nmong the
cardinals stationed here In Rome as
to n successor to Plus X. Tho general
6entiiw;nt seems to favor Cardinal
Ilampolla, who would have been elect
ed to the high offlce to succeed the
late Lw XIII. save for tho veto placed
'upon his candidacy by the Austrian
government.

THUS CLLEbHATE
Silver Wedding Reception
-Notable Social Affair.
GROUNDS LIKE A FAIRYLAND.
Apparently Without a Care, President
and Mrs. Taft Receive 5,000 Guests,
While Outside Fence Thousands
8ee Brilliant Assemblage.
Washington, Juno 20. President and
Mrs. Taft celebrated their silver wed
ding anniversary, and It will bo many
a day before tho national cnpltal for
gets the fuuctlou. Every oue, from
the most exclusive social cave dweller
to tho newest member of congress,
seems willing to admit that the recep
tion was one of tho most notnblo so
cial affairs ever held at tho White
House.
With the weather absolutely perfect,
the White House grouuds transformed
almost Into a fairyland, tho 5,000 In
vited guests having the best kind of n
lime nnd four times that many Inter
ested and enthusiastic spectators
htaudlng twenty deep outstdo the spik
ed Iron fence that surrounds the exec
utive mansion, President Taft .as he
stood at the head of the receiving line
with the first lady of the land did not
seem to have u care In the world. He
was particularly happy, as he said re
peatedly, that Mrs. Taft, lately not In
the best of health, seemed to have
won some strength for tho occasion
and was with him every moment of ,
the time thnt tile thousands of guests
were filing by exchanging hand grips
and expressing the hope that they
might be spared td lie present away
off In the futuie at the Tafts' golden
wedding day.
Incidentally It Is not at all lraproba
ble that President Taft, considering
tho success of the reception, will Issue
n ukase Increasing the salary of Pro
fessor Willis Moore, who makes the
government's weather. Mr. Moore ap
peared at the White House with a long
face and delivered the most pessimistic
predictions. Everybody at the White
House was much worried nbout the
atmospheric outlook, so Mr. Moore ran
over to brighten things up. After he
had talked with the president he told
the newspaper men thnt the "president
lias only one chanco In a hundred of
having a garden party," then he elabo
rated. "Conditions nre mo'U unfavorable," .
he said. "There probably will be show-1
ers."
It Is remarkable the way thing's at
the White House brightened up after
Professor Moore's visit. The president
iult looking at the weather and whis
tled, and the preparations for the out
of doors fete went merrily ahead. j
Every one who nttended the recep
tion agrees It would have been noth
ing short of a calamity had the weath
er been less perfect. Probably not a
single one of the guests had the slight
est conception of tho elaborate prepa
rations thnt had been made In n. deep
ratlve way. And to those entering the
White House either from tho avenue
side or the east carriage entrance .
there wns little beyond a searchlight
playing on the fountain In front of tho
portlchere nnd n few clusters of lights
on the lawn to Indicate what awaited t
them on the spacious grounds In the
rear.
Back there, though, the scene was
beautiful beyond all description. All
around the outer edge of the acres of
level, short clipped grass within the
White House inclosure swung Chinese
lanterns of fantastic designs; blocks
upon blocks of them, barely six Inches
apart, swaying In the light breeze and
casting their queer shapes and shad
ows on the lawn. Within the great
square of lanterns every tree, big and
little; every evergreen, every shrub
and bush, wore a dress of colored
light. From the top of ancient elms
and oaks long streamers of light In tho
national colors, looped hero and there
from branch' to branch, swung down
ward to the ground. In tho pines and
cedars clusters of smaller bulbs wound
nbout the trunks glowed within the
green. From tho roof of the White
House a squad of white clad Jackles
from tho dispatch boat Dolphin oper
ated n big navy searchlight, casting
ever changing colored rays on the con
verging streams of the great fountain
and basin In the center of tho lawn.
Many of the guests literally had to
fight their way from Pennsylvania
avenue down to the entrance, the
throng of spectators having formed a
Jam extending from the Iron fence
arouud the grounds, across the side
walk and street and overflowing the
steps of the treasury building. On the
west, between tho White House nnd
the state, war and navy building, It
was the same. Apparently everybody
In Washington had read of the presi
dent's silver wedding and of the elabo
rate preparations that were being
made to entertain the 5,000 guests and
had come down to see the sights.
There was really no way of estimating
tho crowd, which tho entire reserve
force of policemen had the greatest
difficulty In handling.

TO TAKE CARE OF THE LACKA
WAXEN WILLOWS.
The Ladles' Improvement associa

meeting last Friday evening, tho
object of which was to consider
the advisability of trimming the
willow trees along the Lackawaxen
river.
As tho borough council had ap
propriated $25 toward caring for
the trees, the society, at Its meeting,
voted to furnish the balance. "The
only way the association Is able to
do this," remarked 'Miss Petersen,
nresldenr nf thn nssnMntlnn tn o
Citizen reporter, "Is by holding
chain teas. We could do more work
on tne trees u thore were additional
teas held which In turn would reim
