THE PoPE's MESSENGER.
The member OF the Noble Guard win be
readily recognized by his brilliant form OF
scarlet and white, with gilt helmet and
heavy sword.
In front OF the cardinal, and to the left OF
the Noble Guard-who will stand erect
throughout the ceremony, synboiizing the
Importance OF hts mission in protecting the
insignia and official documents-w will be
placed a small table on which the epapers and
red beretta Will rest until needed.
The grandeur of the spectacle Will in
crease from the entrance of the procession
of prelatcs and clergy by the east door of
the cathedral through the proceedings
incident to conferring the beretta and
return OF the newly-invested cardinal In
liiB scarlet robes.
This will be followed by the celebration
Of pontifical high mass, until it reaches
its climax in the bestowel OF the papal
bcnediction upon the entire assembiage
kneeiing, which will be pronounced by
Cardinal SatOlli, standing IN front of the
high altar.
DR.. Rocker. secretary OF the papai lega-
tion. returned from Baltimore at noon to-
day. As n result of his conference with Car
dinal Gibbons, it was decided to postpone
the ceremonies attending Mgr. Satoili's ele-
walton until January 5. The date consid-
cred last night. December 22. was finally
abandoned. because II would bring these i'm
portant aud fa.1guing ceremonies too close
TO those attending the festival of Christmas.
DR.. Rocker said that they were entirely
ignorant of any good reason to explain
the Noble Guards delay. He is obliged by
the strictest rules to be outside the walls
of Rome before the setting of the sun on
the day the consistOry is held.
The marquis appears to have gotten out
side the walls of Rome In proper shape and
on the day appointed. but he must have
returned. for he was seen in Rome on Tues
day last. However. he ts on the "deep
blue sea" now. and. allowing for its perIls,
will probably get here about December "a
or IS.
Mgr. SatoIli expresses the utmost re-
gret at the unfortunate delay, especially
since 1t interfercs with Cardinal Glib
bons' plans, the Baltimore prelate intend
ing leaving for New Orleans about Jam
uary 1. Bishop Keanc VIII tender his In
tended reception about January 7. The
other dates for local affairs have not yet
been decided.
Marquis Sacripantc name, by the
way, Seans "holy breeches''-can scarce
ly expect diplomatic promotion for the
manner in which he has nanaged his first
important mission.
