WASHINGTON, d. c., December 2S.
--On New Year . day and the Sabbath
following, the faithful throughout the
world will celebrate the sixtieth ami
versary Of the celebrauon OF his frst
mass by Leo XIII, the present pontiff
Ia Rome the function will be of an
elaborate nature despite dispatches
from source IN Rome that 10 believed
TO be inimical to the vatican, 70 the
effect that the precarious condition Of
the Pope's health has necessitated
an abandonment Of the pro-
gramme. The latest OF these
stories, which are sent out peri
odically, has been given a quietus by
Bishop Demard, of Quebecs Cauada,
who recently arrived home from Rome
where he saw the Holy Father several
times, at one OF VIII ch he had q con-
,versatlon with him lasting upwards
OF an hour. Ia letter to one OF the
eccIesiastics of the Catholic universi-
ty, Bishop Demard says that the Holy
Father is enjoying wonderful health,
that he talks and acts like young
man and that he IS keeping track Of
every happening of interest to the
vatican throughout the world. In the
bishops opinion the Pope is good for
many more years of decidedly active
life.
