Trier. August 10.

Trier, August 9.
A spectacle which will be contemplated variously
with amusement, curiosity, indifference sorrow and
pious reverence by the civilized world will be
in this ancient city for six weeks beginning to-
morrow. The so-caled Holy Coat Of Treves which
has been buried in the altar Of the Cathedral I'M
seen by the vulgar eye for forty-seven years will
be publicly exposed to the veneration of the faith
full. Trier-or Treves as it is called outside Of
Germany-is the most ancient city OF the Empire.
In all probability it is much older than Christi
anity, though none of its antiquities date further
back than its Roman period. It's most imposing
monument is the Porta Nigra, attributed to the
fourth century, which was left unfinished by the
Roman builders, was transformed into a church in
the Middle Ages but has now been stripped OF
nearly all the medieval additions and left TO tell
its eloquent story of the national strength and
grandeur and the artistic sense of its builders.
The old amphtheatre in which Roman Emperors
permitted thousands of prisoners of war to be
slaughtered for the amusement of their subjects
has been eXcavated, and the tourist can lose him
self in wondennent while climbing about the ruins
of the imperial palace and public baths which tell
of the glories of civilization that is past 1t is
expected by the municipal and ecclesiastical au-
thorities of the venerable town that within the
next forty days a million and half of pill
CrlmS Will come mere PROBABLY an utterly 1ncon-
seouential number of them will think OF bath
or take the trouble TO inspect the
ruins of the magnificent pile reared fifteen
hundred years ago TO satisfy popular
habit now as completely neglected by the
populace of the Civitas Trevirorum as
the worship of the Emperors who enjoyed the
human butehery in the old amphithcatre every
one however, will walk in solemn procession into
the Cathedral and look with feeling of some sort
upon an archaic garment which will be surrounded

day and until far into the night PROFESSIONS gay
with banners and ecclesiastical paraphernalia,
images candles, wreaths and flowers. will pass
through the streets and in and out Of the
Cathedral. Already from churches and other
large buildings flags and banners and
strearnen ianumerable are huttering, and
at intervals the solemn tOlling Of bells
from the Cathedral belfry reminds the pous
churchman of an obligation of fasting, silent con
temptation and prayer imposed by the bishop OF
the diocese. Tomorrow the chants Of pilgrims
will blend with the music of bells and bands;
itanies and prayers will be recited the pro-
cessions move through the streets. Hundreds OF
thousands perhaps millions, Of marks will be
placed in convenient receptacles near the object
of this strange alteration, and the innkeepers
odging-letters and small shopkeepers will drive
trade such they have not known for forty-seven
years. The squares near the Cathedral are
crowded with booths filed with a myriad Of small
articles which will be sold as aids to devotion.
Priests stationed near the shrine before which the
pilgrims will kneel will touch the rosaries and
other helps to devotion, and this laying on of
priestly hands will give them sanctity which
will make them heiroOms in the hundreds OF
thousands of households in the Rhine country
and beyond. Meanwhile the ungodly ma smoke
Holy Coat cigarettes and eat Holy Coat buns, sans
benedictiOn.
1t will be singular spectacle and one also of
vast moment. No thinking person will remain
callous to its meaning or underestimate its sig
niicance Already there has been literary stir
throughout the Protestant part of Germany, and
the question as TO its pOrtent has been uttered by
a thousand lips Only twice before in the nine
teenth century has the relic which the clergy Of
Trier guard as the greatest treasure Of the city,
been exposed for public veneration. That was in
1910 and 1874 Only once before that in all its
known history had it been exhibited with any
thing like the solemn pOmp which will mark the
present occasion. That was far back in the
sixteenth century-in the year 1921.
Concerning this first exposition little is known.
At the second, in 1910, the estimated number Of
pilgrims who came 10 see the relic was 100000
At the third in 1914, the number reached l,lOO,-
600. In 1910 no miracles were reported as having
been performed by the object of devotion, but in
1914 Bishop Arnold loudly proclaimed that many
persons had been healed of disease while prayer
fully contemplating the potent garment and

he discussed and confirmed $50 far as it was posi-
