THE VERDICT.

The Anglo.C Catholic, Of the 10th, a ritual
istic paper published at Detroit, says:
What verdict Well, after an incrcdu.
lous amount of very loud threatening and
assertions, ofthe certainty Of formal charges
and overwhelming proof, the convention
has met, groaned like the winds imprs
oned under the hands Of Holus and adj
journed without the faintest shadow of an
accusation on the part OF the standing com
mittec against the bishop; and not only so,
but the two oldest aymcn on
the standing committee made speech
es affirming the bishops faith
full service OF AZ years and his just claim
to life annuity. The annuity was passed
by a nearly unanimous vote and fixed at
$1,000 per year We said at the beginning
that no charges would be made, because
none could be proven. We are re-
sponsiblc for the statement that charges
would he met by sworn testimony Ms would
nof only yindicatc the Bishop but establish
a conspiracy against him which
for cool wickedncss has hardly par.
allcl. We opincd that five men would
hardly come forward willingly to earn the
! standing of Judas. II seems we were cor.
rect, and upon the report Of the standing
committee, which was sent to special
committee, considered fully and unani
mousIy adopted by the Convention together
with the unanimous action, granting NJ
annuity rests the verdict. We have n,
comment to offer ut present. That larg,
jury Of candid men and women, christians
lovers OF justice, right and mercy vii
confirm the verdict in the great Court O
time. Vale.

The PapaI Tiaras.

A correspondent writes: "The history
of Papal Tiaras within the present CEN
tury has not been uneVentful. In 1905
Napoleon presented Pope Plus the VII
with the earliest that is now supposed
to exist. It was of pearl-colored velvet,
with three costly gold rings, which were
each set with precious stones of various
colors. The stones were each surround
ed with brilliants, and the three rings
were each bordered by single row of
pearls matching one another with extra
ordinary exactness. The apex of the
tiara was of pure gold studded with
pearls and rubies,
In 1881 Gregory XVI caused it, with
several other valuable possessions of the
Vatican, to be hidden for fear of plunder
by the mob, and when, few months
afterwards, order was restored and the
hidden articles were dug up, it was
found that the velvet of the tiara was
quite spoiled, and that great many of
the gems we're altogether lost. Gregory
XVI is said to have been extremely
vexed at this, and he ordered the jeweler
Hannibal Rolta in the year 1888 TO re-
pair the tiara as best he could. This was
done accordingly but the restored work
of art was found to weigh mo less than
eighteen pounds, and to be too heavy
for the august wearers. Accordingly it be-
came the practice to wear only the imi-
tation tiara made by Leo VII, which is
of pasteboard, profusely prnamented
with gold and silver embroidery, paste
diamonds, and some real gems. Gregory
was, however, never satisfied with the
necessity of wearing this sham orna-
ment, and towards the end of his Pom
tifcate he caused another tiara to be
made of pure gold, but much thinner
and lighter, Its cost is stated by the
U5atid CattoAca to have been 81 800.
The fourth tiara, made in the present
century, was that which Queen Isabella
of Spain presented to the late Pope in
1856, at cost of about $4,000. This,
however, was sold by Plus TX, who de-
voted the proceeds of the sale to pious
and benevolent purposes. Finally, in
asm1ch as the tiara of light gold made
for Gregory XVI was found too small
for the head of Plus TX, the latter had
another made on a similar plan, and
this last seems to be the one which the
new Pope, Leo XIII, will wear. There
seems to be much doubt whether the
tiara of Napoleon is now in the Vatican,
or ia hidden somewhere, as it was in
1881, and again in lS4s."
