Three trains left Victoria station, London, on the morning of February 14 conveying 534 pilgrims to Rome to congratulate the Pope on his Episcopal Jubilee. The journey was suggested by Cardinal Vaughan, and at his request the organisation of the pilgrimage was undertaken by the Catholic Union of Great Britain. The Jubilee was celebrated on Sunday, February 19th, and was very impressive. Four thousand people in Concordia and Oathola parishes, Louisiana, were reported on the verge of starvation on February 7th. The floods of last summer preventing the planting of crops is the cause of it.

In attempting to introduce the crinoline fad into the rural district of Balen, Tennessee, Mrs Saunders caused a light in a church on Sunday, February 24th. In entering church her cumbersome skirts brushed against several persons. Someone made a remark which offended the woman. She informed her husband and a fight ensued, the relatives and friends of both parties engaging in the fray. Women fainted, children screamed, and many men emerged with broken, bleeding heads. Several of the parties are “gunning ” for each other, and the crinoline fad is on the decline. The wool sorters at a Milwaukee worsted mill struck on March Ist, first against a lower scale of wages, and second because the disinfection of the wool coming from districts in Persia tmd Turkey, where cholera has been raging for the last year, was to be discontinued.

The shooting was the result of a quarrel. The parties moved in the best society, and it is believed that the murderess is insane. One of the victims was sick in bed at the time.

By 4 o’clock thousands of pilgrims, tourists, and citizens were crowded before the door of St. Peter’s, Two battalions of infantry in full uniform were drawn up before the cathedral ready to help the gendarmes in preserving order. The crowd grew steadily, but remained quiet, despite the tremendous pressure caused by some 5000 ticket-holders in a hopeless struggle to get near the doors. At six o’clock the doors were opened, and the foremost of the crowds swept in. Within half an hour the great building was crowded to the steps ; 39,000 pilgrims and 25,000 or 30,000 Catholics, residents of Rome, gained admission. No fewer than 40,000 persons were turned away by the military. The Pope entered the Cathedral at 9.45 a.m., pale but smiling, and apparently in somewhat bettor health than usual. The Cathedral rang with tumultuous cheering as he was borne towards the altar. His Holiness officiated at the special Mass, intoning the oI Deum and giving ’ ll3 p’essing in a clear voice. The Mass lasted until 10,45 o’clock, but apparently did not fatigue the Pope, he remaining in the Cathedral for forty-five minutes after the celebration, and then proceeded to his apartment. The crowd dispersed slowly. The scene at the Cathedral was brilliant and impressive. The interior was hung with crimson, and w profusely dressed with lowers. ‘ Tl ' lo Pope, in full oauon was borne to the ultcii} accompanied by a gorgeous procession, richly clad, and bejewelled Cardinals and officers of the Swiss Guard. Che vigor of the Pope’s movements during Mass and the energy of his voice and gestures as ho gave his blessing, astonished the During the afternoon the jfilgcipaa attended services in the

Church of St. Sylvester and were blessed by Cardinal L<'gu<'. The English pilgrims at, St. George’s received the blessing from Cardinal Vaughan. In the evening St. Peter’s and all other churches, all the convents, and hundreds of private houses we e illuminated. The streets were thronged, and the square in front of St. Peter’s was almost impassable. Without exception, however, the people were orderly, no arrests being reported. The Pope gave a reception to the Armenian Patriarch, who presented letters of congratulation and gifts from the Sultan of Turkey. Afterwards Cardinal Logue introduced the Trieste pilgrims to the Pope who thanked them in gracious terms for organising the pilgrimage. He said that the Irish faith, piety, and devotion to the Vatican were always the same, and he exhorted the pilgrims to persevere in their attachment to the Church. The Queen of England telegraphed to the Pope on the 21st, as follows :—“ I congratulate you upon completing the fifty years of your episcopate, and sincerely wish you health and happiness.”
