BLESSING OF THE BELLS.
Ceremony Performed yesterday at the
franciscan Monastery.

The ceremony Of the blessing of the bells
of the Franciscan monastery attracted
about a thousand people to BroOkland yes
terday afternoon. The exercises, which
began at o'clock, were in charge of the
knights of Columbus of the District of
Columbia, 200 of whom We're present. The
Litany of the Saints, by the choir opened
the ceremony, followed by a short address
by Rev Eugene A. Hannah, pastor Of St
Anthonys Church of BrOOkland. Father
Hannah spoke briefly of the significance of
the bell and also gave a history of the in
strument from its invention and introduce
ton to its usage and symbolism of the
present time.
AT the conclusion Of this address Bishop
Curtis of Baltimore blessed the two bells
which We're suspended from a large trus-
tie. draped in red and ornamented with
flowers, evergreens and palms Bishop
Curtis was assisted by Rev. Dr. ?. ]. Gar
rigan, vice rector of the Catholic UNIVERSE
ty; Rev. Father Singer, o. p, of the Do
minican order, and the Very Rev. Walter
Elliott, superior Of the Paulists. The most
significant part OF this ceremony is the
washing of the bell, followed by the seven
