hundred and fftieth anniversary OF the
building of the little chapel wherein is en-
shrined the famous image of the Virgin,
which is credited with many marvellous cures
in the past The religious ceremonies, COM
memoratiye Of this event, began on Wednes-
day, when the ignifcant- looking chapel
was crowded to suff0eati0n and thousands
of people had to remain outside.
The religious procession was quite pictur-
esQue affair. The clergy the Knights of
Malta, the Bishop of Muenster the Bishop
Of Treves, all in full canonicals, with the
chapters of the three eatEedrals, aeolytes
and banners, left the Marlenkirche for the
place of pilgrimage. where the image was
handed TO the clergy. who transported it to
the Marenkirche. where it will be exhibited.
The Bishop OF Muenster consecrated the
crown of gold. which the Pope has per-
mitted to be placed on the Virgins head.
The secular fame of the Kevlaar, i.
hardly need be said. comes from Heines
celebrated poem, in which the cynical poet
is for awhile serious. He tells the story of
a mother who induces her son. who is fad
ing away. to jim the procession leaving
Cologne for keylaar. But the youths
trouble is one Of the heart. and on arriving
at the shrine he asks for relief. And this Is
