Each morning and afternoon pilgrim

At the conclusion of the afternoon ser

Church. and witnessed a great procession
of the Blessed Sacrament. The scenes
viewed and the fervent faith observed at
Lourdes have excited the admiration of
the pilgrims.
Last Sunday the Feast OF the Nativity
Of the Blessed Virgin was a great day
for the pilgrims. In the afternoon they
walked in procession, headed by the BAN

crypt. Here. after prayers and hymns
and a sermon by the Rev. Dean We're.

a Novel Point Raised by an Ameri-
can Naval Omcer

A novel point of international interest
has arisen at Southampton.
The American warship Chicago had been
lying off Neitley for some time. and at 5
o'clock one morning a member of her
crew was found unconscious in boat ly-
ing alongside. lie was lifted on deck.
and died soon afterward. The ships doc
tor made a post-mortem examination, and
an enquiry was held on board, with the
result that. so far as those on the vessel
were concerned, the cause of death was
satisfactorily made out
An officer went ashore. and arranged
for a funeral with full naval honors in
southampton Cemetery. a handsome cof-
fin was ordered. and florists We're commits

When the registrar of deaths was called
upon difficulty arose. He felt that he
could not accept the certificate of death
which was signed by the ships doctor, not
only because, said the registrar IL was
not made out by a registered medical
practitioner, but also because death was
not the result of natural causes. He
therefore, referred the American officer
to the coroner.
The coroner was then seen. and he said
that as soon as the body was landed it
came within his jurisdiction, and II would
be his duty to hold an inquest To this
the representative Of the ship demurred
pointing out that the deceased was not
British subject, and that it was not an
English vessel, nor even a merchantmen.
The coroner cited English law. and WIS
answered with quotations from the Ameri-
can naval regulations. The argument was
pursued in perfect good temper, but
neither side would give way and the posi-
tion was the more complicated because the
ship was due to sail in few hours
Eventually the grand funeral was aban-
doned, and the vessel left at the appointed
time with the mans body on board
When the vessel had steamed beyond the
three-m limit the body, was committed

The largest display of opium product
ever made in st. Louis. and possibly the
largest ever displayed at one time in the

Southern Hotel during the convention of
the American Pharmaceutical Association
last week.
The exhibit was composed of cubes
ranging in size from the fraction of an
ounce to five pounds each, the total weight
being seventy-five pounds.
The immenslty of this exhibit may be
better realized when it was known that
the value at wholesale of the seventy
