| BALTIMORE, Nov. 1O.-With fitting grand
eur the most important group of events in
the history of the Catholic church in Aneri-
ca began here this morning. It was the
commencement of triple ce1ebration-the
one hundredth anniversary Of the appoint
ment of the first American Catholic bishop,
the Inauguration of the FIRST congress Of
Catholic lsymen held in the United States,
university for Catholics.
| On Saturday night, in honor of the
great throngs of visitors, the bells of the
thirty-four places Of worship in Baltimore
were rung in unison. The tells continued
their joyful clamor for fall half hour. Car

States Senator Herman, the silver tongued
Daniel Dougherty, Mayor Grant, Judge Nor

this morning. So great was the pressure for
seats that persons known to have travelled
across the American continent expressly to
be present were among those disappointed in
not securing. admission to the Cathedral.
At the app ointed hour and unaecompa-
MED by music six hundred clergy, walking
| two by two, emerged from Calvert FALL clad
in white surplice and black csssock and be-
| retta and marched down the street few
squares to the residence of Cardinal Glib
| bons. There were double lines Of guards
leading up to the door of the cardinals home.
Presently while the white supplied priests
we're opening ranks mass of purpled envel-
oped figures were seen in the cardinals door
way. It was the gathering of nearly all the
United States with representatives from
Mexico, Canada, England and Rome itself.
The prelates now came forth from the big
portico in pairs, sand as each two stepped
into the street their costly robes were
caught up by diminutive altar boys.
Through the long line of priests the prel-
ates threaded their way around the square to
the main entrance of the cathedral, the rear
of the procession being brought up by the
tall, ascetis figure of Archbishop Feehan of
Chicago, who Immediately preceded golden
vesturad crossbearer, followed by two spare
slight locking mon, almost hidden in dazzling
scarlet.
The two men in scarlet were Cardinals
Gibbons of Baltimore and Tasehersau OF

vestments, and surrounding them were
their monsignors with their delegates, O'Con-
nell and Satolli, of Rome.
Within the cathedral ten minutes later the
| scene was simply magnificent. The pews
throughout the church were crowded to the
utmost with laity, while the aises were pack
ed with snowy-surpliesd priests. Against
both laity and priests shone the serried pur-
pie ranks of prelates inside the sanctuary.
| On either side were the dais for the cardinals.
| At the high altar stood the mitred celebrant
of the mass, Archbishop Williams of Boston,
Mass, and over all was the great white and
gold dome of the cathedral.
A dreamy largo lulled the ear, while q
myriad candles shone out on the altar from
among the leaves and lilies Now WIS heard
| q Gregorian "Aspergus" sung by perfectly
| attuned male voices, and the mass proper
began with the chanting of the "Kyrie." As
the ceremonial proceeded the effect was
heightened momentarially by the wave-like
genufexions in the pews at each pronounce
ment by the choir Of the name Of Jesus;
bsrettas were dotted In unison by the cardi-
malls and archbishops in the sanctuary to the
students in the farthest vestibule.
AT the conservation of the host the cardi-
nails advanced from the sides with the mons
| signors and, bowling low, knelt at Prideux
facing the altar. Back Of them was q row of
rfohly-arrayed acolytes bearing lighted
bronze torches. As the sacred host We
held aloft by the celebrant the deepest
silence psrvaded tho cathedral, every head
being bent low In prayer.
Probably the most impressive part OF the
mass, next to the conservation, was the con-
ferring of the papal blessing. The ms ,a
ended with q special intercession for the
| Pope chanted by all the clergy.
The first Grafton of the centenary fol-
lowed. It was delivered by Archbishop
Ryan, of Philadelphia, whose hne presence
and magnetic sloquence In spite of the long
ceremonial preceding held his hearers for
another hour and half.
The archbishop took his text from Ecclesi-
asticas L., /, 2. Z, IA.
The sermon was one of rstrospection.

from the Holy See from Canada, Mexico and
