This is my last effort. I will communi-

MENINGITIS. There have been forty
nine deaths in Washington from cere.
bro spinal meningitis since the first day
of last February In other words, more
deaths have occurred from this disease
in ten weeks than in the two entire
years of 1897 and 1895. The death rata
is not only alarminely high, but is said
to be far beyond the highest figures
eyer recorded in any city for the same
length of time. In addition to this. the
physicians admit that they know little
or nothing about the disease. and that
no remedy has yet been discovered
whereby its remarkable fatality can be
checked. DO safeguard or preventive
is known. When a man becomes vic.
tim he suocumbs with fearful rapidity
death sometimes ensuing in "a hours

THE POPE AT PUBLIC MASS.


sicians, the Pope Yesterday attended
the thanksgiving mass in celebration Of
the twenty first anniversary of his coro-
nation. He was borne to st. Peters
Cathedral at hslf-past ten o'clock, go
ing first to the Pleta Chapel, where he
donned the papal vestments.
Thence he was carried TO throne
: which Rad been erected beside The
papal chair in The basillcs, which was
crowded to sufiocation. Many women
were overcome by the heat and the
crushing and tainted.
A great shout of welcome greeted
him as he approached The plaudits
continued as the procession of noble
guards and courtiers, heralded by
beautiful silver trumpets, moved
through the nave Wooden barricades
had been erected along the route to
protect the Pope from the pressure of
the spectators. The pontn looked
weak and withered.
When the Sedia Gestatoria arrived
before the throne two members of the
Sacred College assisted the Pope to
aight and supported him to his seat.
He sat with his hands folded during
The mass, which Vannutelli celebrated.
At the close Of the ceremony the
Pope bestowed his benedicton, but the
act tried his strength.
The Rome correspondent of the Lion
don News" thus describes the Pope's
appearance:
The golden chair came into view as
if floating toward the altar, with the
Pope sitting like pale shadow, like a
ghost Many whispered when his face,
overshadowed by the glittering triple
crown, became discernble. His dark
eyes peered from their deep sockets,
his hands trembed visbly, and sad
smile played on his coloress lips. With
his left hand he waved sad greetings
while with his right he did his feeble
best to mark the act of blessing
''His Holiness was liffed to his chair
and raised on high. Then he put on
his glasses and from missal, which
Cardinal Steinhuber held, while Cardi-
nal Macchi stood with lighted taper,
he read the greater benediction. His
voice, that was once so firm aud clear,
was scarcely audible, but in absolute
silence the first words, Auditorium
nostrum in nomine Domini, were
caught by the assembled multitude. He
tried to raise himself, but fell back and
pronounced the remainder of the bene-
diction in a recumbent position A
loud cry, like the bursting of storm,
broke from the multitude, and the Pope,
stretching forth his hands in benedic-
ton, was carried out of St. Peters,
