CHURCH AND STATE IN SICILY
CARDINAL CELESIA EXPLAINING HIS FAIL
URE TO RECEIVE KING HUMBERT.

Munich, November 20.
An interesting comment upon the relations De'
tween Church and State in Italy, by Cardinal
Celesia, appeared few days ago in one OF the
German papers. Considerable talk was caused
recently by the failure OF the Cardinal. who Is
Archbishop of Palermo, 70 receive the hing ana
Queen as was expected, at the opening OF the
exhibition in that city. In an interview wltn
one of the correspondents Of the German paper
the Cardinal explained the causes which led 10
his strange conduct. 1t must be remembered,
he said, that we Scilians are all warm adherents
of the Monarchy and that our cathedrals stand
under Royal patronage. But as the Church is
now in conflict with the State in Italy, was In
duty bound to ask the Pope how should treat
the King and Queen during their visit to falerlno'
The Pope forbade me to come III contact WIFI .nc
soyereigns You know that members Oh lhe Noi-
lege of Cardinals must obey the Pope Wheh 'nc
Pope lowers his head we say. Yes; when ne
raises it again we say, NO. Therefore was ho'
allowed to call upon Their Majesties.
Iypon being reminded that all Arch
bishops and Bishops of Sicily re-
co;vod the sovereirns in 1880, although
the Church and State were then also at odds, the
Cardinal admitted that it was true. But, he
added the situation is much more critical now
than IL was at that Time His Holiness was KIND
enough TO explain this himself, and to show why
we should act differently to-day than In 1880
There are two principal reasons: First, the dls-
graceful popular demonstrations In Rome Oh
October and 3, on account of the affair WIN the
nilorims in the Pantheon; second, the recent
Royal decree declaring that the marriages OF offl-
GERS soemnized only in the Church are only con-
cubinages
at has always been the custom" said the Car
dinal when asked why the King and queen had
not appeared in the Cathedral at Palermo,
for the King to go at once to the Cathedral
after landing. to receive the archepiscopal bless
ing All sovereigns have been true to this GUS
tom even King Humbert and Queen Margherita
in 1880 when / received them at the head OF the
priests at the entrance to the Cathedral AS
usual. this time the Cathedral was also lighted,
and filled with men and women. The bishops
and attendants were all in festal costume. Being
a Cardinal / could not be there, owing to the
Papal command. The priests waited three hours.
but the sovereigns went directly from the harbor
to the castle, although the Cathedral is on the
way. III it be true as one of the papers declares,
that a woman in the Cathedral cried: viva IL
fiplio del re galantuomo." it must have been
ironical as the people had become impatient
II is possible that the King heard of my inten-
tions. as the prefect asked me a few days before
the landing to my plans, and made no secret
Of the Papal command"

WHEELMEN FILL A THEATRE.

A
ING SUPPER AFTERwARD.
II was wheelmen's night last night m Fourteenthst.
They owned the Union Square Theatre in the early
mart OF the evening, and afterward descended hke
an army ON Ere Columbia where supper had been
arranged for them There about 600 OF them'
aud each one bound TO have good time. Inc
theatre was draped with the oolors OF the dinerent
bicycle clubs and the members sat in groups each
oroup d,spayng its own club emblem that the
house looked like gaudy field, covered with patches
Of blue and red and yellow. and dozen other shades
The flags which the wheelmen displayed were however,
the least part OF their manifestations. They
had whistles horns, strong lungs, and bra1en
throats and the consequence was that numper oi
new and surprising parts were created Tor Inc |au
while the regular parts Oh the programme were ITO
quenty embellished. .
Besides ornamenting the stage with bicycles inc
actors said number of things not down III the play
in reference 10 the different wheelmens clubs present.
and after each such remark the wheemen proved the
strength OF their lungs anew. The entrance Oh cpe

stage as he makes his devious way toward the uh-
suspecting Cadl gave the riders Of the iron steed
chance TO show that their wit had kept pace with the
development of their leg muscles and to say that they
took the opportunity would express II but mildly.
They also felt greatly delighted when the Cadi hugged
Dora Stanley but the actress who captured them all
was Lizzie Hudson Collier who plays the part OF
Arietta Kilgore the postmstress OF owl Creek Every
thing she said or did received with wild applause,
and BY her ready she smoohed over what promised
to become an unpleasant episode in the second act
some of the actors became offended at alleged
witticisms from the audience and there was a
sudden pause in the performance, which lasted
until Miss Collier to the rescue by beginning her
part without whiting for the others. She received a
handsome bouquet.
After the performance supper was served at the
Columbia, in Union square Among other clubs rep
resented were the Brooklyn, Manhattan Gotham,
Riverside Harlem and New Haven Bicycle clubs, the
Orange Long Island, Kings County and Elizabeth
Wheelmen, and the Pioneer Corps. Among the prom
