given at the Hotel Schenley by Mr. and

scending to the assembly hall from the
ninth story in the elevator something
broke and the elevator fell when it was
within ten feet Of the bottom.
The Cardinal thinking the elevator was
at the third story, braced himself for a
long fall. and when the jolt at the bottom
Of the shaft came the effect on his nerves
was as great as IL the elevator had fallen
the height he had estimated. He was
thrown forward, but friends in the elevator
caught him in time to prevent his head
striking against the side OF the cage. He
held the reception. but left before the
appointed time.
