abstention from the conyentionalities
OF society, it was but natural that there
should be an eager participation in the
entertainments Immediately following
Easter Sunday. The larger affairs
were not numerous, but each set was
entertained during the week, and the
clubs which did nDt meet during Lent
resumed their pleasant gatherings. 4
number OF delightful affairs were crowd
ed into the six days, and the attendance
was unusually large. The invitations
with which each mail delivery is laden
give promise of at least two more weeks
Of gayety. After that preparations will
be made for the summer campaign. The
number of visitors who will be enter
tanned during the spring months in
Wheeling, will be larger than usual,
and this fact will result in many enter
tainments in their honor. The com
mencement season will be here within
a few short weeks. with all the attend
ant social obligations

The Archbishops Peace Mission Closed al
the Capital.

The Archbishop's Peace Mission Closed at
the Capital.
Washington, April 16.-Archbishop
Ireland left last night on the mid~g ht
train for New York. accompanied by
Prof. Pace, Of the Catholic University.
Mgr. Ireland will have several confer
ences with men in New York who are
in touch with affairs, but he is con-
WINGED that any further efforts to in
duce the United States to postpone ac-
ton would be in vain. When the Pres
ident sent his message to Congress
on Monday, Archbishop Ireland went
to Baltimore. where he held confer
ence with Cardinal Gibbons about the
situation The two prelates held the
same view-thau everything possible
had been done, and there would be no
benefit derived from carrying the nego-
tiations further. This view was COM
municated to the vatican. Yesterday a
message was received expressing the
profound regret of Pope Leo XIII. at
the prospect of war, and containing a
prayer that hostilities might yet be
averted. Archbishop Ireland took this
message as meaning that his mission
had closed and left the city. He may
go to St Paul from New York. or he
may return to Washington, en- rouse
to his home.
