From me B1'ta.vl 30.
The consistory at when A'crbisGo'

meet in Rome on NJ nday. TIE Papa
messengers to formal notify lin ~ h,
elevation will leave there on the follow
ing Saturday. and on W Wednesday, jam
30, the ceremony OF comforting the homo
will be performed at the Cathedral in Bal
Ftimore.
The object Of selecting the 30th for Tx
ceremony is because on that date twenty
hive years ago TIE Archbishop was or
ldained a priest The ordination took
place in the historic chapel at r. Mary
Seminary, on North Paca street. The
chapel is the oldest Catholic cGllce IA
Baltimore with the except OF a part OF
st. Patrick's church, on south Broadway
There is a trad ton that the quaint but
pretty little chapel was built Of bucks
which had been imported from England
TO build the Cathedral. hen II was de-
tcided TO erect the Cathedral Of stone tGe
fbricks were sent to the seminary. The
rcha pei was dedicated on June 10, 1905, on

( In the large han Of the seminary, where
kthe pralaLes OF the church met at the
Third P.enary Council, is the magnificent
land lHe-like oil portrait OF the Pope,
(which bis Holiness presented to the COun-
PCii. to be hung in the hall where they

teous gentleman. Archbishop Marechal
was at one time "A professor at the SEMI
mary, and Archbishop Eccieston was

.Kain, of Wheeling, and Foley. OF Chicago,
were ordained ia the chapel.
the ceremonies accompanying the crea-
ftiOn OF Cardinal have been entirely
different at various periods, and a full
description of them would necessarily
occupy more space than cOu'd we'll be
kgiven in daily paper. In the olden days
the reception Of the hat by the Bishop OF
a distant see was the occasion for a
pageant OF kingly pomp and splendor. In
the medieval creations three c0nslstorles
were held IN the Apostolic Palace, OF
which two were secret aud one was pub
k1lc. Two Cardinals IN the first c0nsIstory
were commissioned 10 visit every sick or
absent Cardinal and learn from them
whether any Cardinals ought to be
screated, and, If SO, how many. When
these had returned from tnelr mission
fthe same questions were put TO the other
Cardinals, and if the Pope saw fit he an
nOunced that he followed the advice Of
those present as TO the number OF those TO
be promoted to this exalted dignity. This
Closed the first cOnsistOrY, bat the second
followed soon after, when each Cardinal
was asked his opinion OF the persons on
whom the Pope desired 10 confer this
honor. The Pope then declared the re-
suits OF th 5 consultation, and proclaimed
such and SUCH persons Cardinals of the
Holy Roman Church. The public con
tsistory was convened ON the following
day, when the names were s1lemnly pub
klisned. Aiter This the Cardnals-eiect
were introduced, aud heard an alIOculioa
addressed 90 tDem on the duties and aug
sNiiy OF their Office, and received from the
lPOpe's hands the large hat, with the titles
iOl their churches.
TIE modern custom is for the Pope to
summon "A cOnhistOry, and after asking

Ghetto is presented first, and that fre-
tqueDtly privately. The late Cardinal Nc
NlOskey received it from the hands Of
count harefoschi, in the salon OF the
arch episcopal palace, few prominent
clerics ana lay being the only ones
present The solemn imposition OF the
kberetta took place on Tuesday, April - d,
i1ol0. This ceremony was performed by
Archbishop Bayley, who had been dele
fgated by the Holy See to perform that
Function.
The Cardinal absent from Rome when
me receives the beretta takes an
Foath that he will go To the Linn
hahG Ap0stOt0ra0t within year to
lreceive the large red hat from the
diely Father. On these occasions the
new ly-elected Cardinals assemble about 9
"a. IN. a. the Sistlne Chapel to take the
oath prescribed by the apostolic cOnstitu-
lions. They then advance to the foot of
the PODe's throne, where they make an
obelsance. The Pope thereupon embraces
tInem ana places on their heads the red
hats, saying TO each: deceive tue red
mat, tue mark OF the dignity OF "a Cardinal,
which shows that YOU are bound, even TO
the Shedding Of your blood, 10 show YOUR
