o THE SUNDAY
To Catholics throughout the civilized
world the coming Sd of March will be a
day of exceptional Importance. since it Will
mark a notable event-the compile
ton Of the silver jubilee of his Holiness,
Pope Leo XII.
The Jubilee began on March 3. 1902. and
doubly suspicious that day was. since 1t
was not only the twenty-fourth anniversary
of Leo's tenure Of the Holy See. but also
the beginning of the ninety-third year of
his life.
That they had q twofold, cause for re-
joicing was not forgotten either by the peo-
pie Of Rome or by the 5000 foreigners who
had focked to the Eternal City for the
purpose of taking part in the grand cere-
monies that were to be held.
Mingled with the religious sentiment ap-
propriate to the occasion was widespread
admiration for the splendid old churchman
who had done SO much for. civiliza ton and
morality. and who in every other way had
proved himself a most worthy successor of
81. Peter.

other. regarded by pilgrims and Italians as
the true shepherd Of his people"
Early on the great day worshipers.
among whom were Cardinals. Bishops, for
e1gn ENJOYS and other noblemen from vari-
ous countries. gathered in the Basilica of
of st. Peters and awaited the arrival of
his Holiness. Impressive was the eight be-

which was fringed with gold: the poatifical
throne was set under a rich canopy and

form. they are in all other respects Il vast
Improvement.
Notable. therefore. this Jubilee is in the
history of the church. and it is also a not
able event in the life of Pope Leo. since it
mas furnished conclusive proof of the es-
TEEN in which he is held. not only by
churchmen. but also by potentateS through
out the world.
The French Government presented him
with two beautiful pieces of Gobelin tapes
try. the panels of which represent scenes
in the life of Joan of Arc. and his Holiness
was SO pleased with the gift that he or
dered it to be placed il his private library.
EDWARD VII SENT
HIS GOOD WISHES.
King Edward of England sent him an
autograph letter. which was presented by
Lord DenbiGh. and Emperor William of
Germany also sent his good wishes. EN-
peror Francis Joseph of Austria and the
people of Vienna resolved to give the Pope
an enduring token of their esteem when the
jubilee closed. and as a result two beautiful
works Of art have been fashioned and will
be presented to his Holiness early in March.
They are the work Of Herr Robert Mar
sohall. a Viennese sculptor.
The gift of Vienna is a largo medal
showing the portrait of the Pope. and the
Emperor's gift represents the Good
Shepherd. standing on a base Of African
marble. which Is veined with violet and
surmounted by a small gold plinth. The
Good Shepherd is represented as holding in
his arms a lamb and followed by sheep, and
engraved in the marble is the following
inscription in Latin:
ITO Pore Leo XIII. the true shepherd of
the faithful. who. thanks to the kindness OF
God. has happily guided his church. and
magnanimously distributed her treasures
for five times five years. Francis Joseph I.
Emperor OF Austria and King Of Hungary.

Shepherd as a token Of his devoted affec-
ton and esteem"
On either side of the inscription the papal
and the imperial arms are represented in
gold and precious stones. -

His next and nnal act was to bestow q

and this he did amid applause. which con-
tinued until the cortege had disappeared
within the chapel of the Holy Sacrament.
In this fitting manner the jubilee year be-
gan. and equally fitting was the second
great event. which occurred on July 6. On
that day the Jubilee Committee gave a din
ner to 1,5o poor people in Rome. The BAN
quet was held in the rooms opening into
the Grand Court of the Belvedere. and the
guests were served by the Sisters of st.
Vincent de Paul. At 3 o'clock the entire
company went in procession into the spa
cious court to receive the papal benedic-
ton. and several thousands other persons,
including many OF the italian nobility.

TERM SILVER JUBILEE
NOT USED IN ITALY.
Though a familiar term In most civilized
countries the words silver Jubilee" II Is
SAID, are never used in Italy. The year
1907" says Mgr. OReilly. author of the Life
OF Leo NIL" has been celebrated at Rome
as the reigDins Pope's jubilee. marking a.

when Leo XIII succeeded Plus TX. the Be
loved.
Although the title silver Jubilee marks IN
most countries the twenty-hfth year OF
reign or marriage. the term is not. in nv
knowledge. used in Italy. certainly not in
Rome"
Several times during 1902 q rumor spread
that the Pope's health was falling. bus
those who are most competent to speak with
authority on the subject say that he seems
to be quite as vigorous now as at any time
during the last five or six years. The Pope
himself IS very optimistic on this point. He
has been quoted more than once of late -
saying that he confidently expects to be-
come a centenarian, and while he may not
have been speaking seriously. for he loves
at times to unbend and indulge in mild
pleasantly. the wonderful yigor displayed
by him during the many onerous serv-
ices and ceremonies in which he was the
leading figure in 1902 seem to indicate tina
he may attain his desire.
If he does. Rome will then witness an un-
p~aralleled sight. for 1t Is rumored that the
Pope intends to celebrate the occasion by
a Jubilee. which will transcend in pompa and
magniicence all previous ceremonies Of the
kind.

The great fascination which the stage has
for all classes of people Is undoubtedly one
of the most peculiar features Of the theat-
rical profession.
The ambitions Of not a few present-day
celebrities have at some time in their lives
turned towards the playhouse. and there are
quite a number of royal ~personages who.
had they been of more humble birth, prob
ably would have tried to win histrtonic
h0nors.
A notable example is the case of Queen
Alexandra of England, who did not escape
being stage struck when growing into wom-
anhood. Her greatest ambition when a girl
was to become a popular actress.
All her spare time was spent in studying
acting and practicing 1t with her two royal
sisters in theatricals they Jointly arranged
In fact. to such an alarming extent did the
passion absorb the three sisters that at last
their mother. the Queen. had to forbid them
taking part In any theatricals at all.

Queen Alexandra's passion for the stage
was evidently inherited by her daughter.
Princess Maud. now. of course. Princess
Charles of Denmark. whose chief delight
previous to her marriage was to organize
amateur performances at Sandringham.
The King always took the keenest interest
in amateur theatricals, and consequently
Princess Maud performed several times be-

she showed talent as an actress which
would undoubtedly have won much success
for her on the professional stage.
At one time the stage fever obtained a
great hold upon Princess Beatrice princess
Henry of Battenberg) who probably would
have liked much greater scope for her
marked ability as an actress than was af-
forded by the rigid regime of the late court.
Probably her most notable performance
was in January. 1893. when she took part.
together with the Marchioness of Lorne. in
oliver G%oldsmith's comedy. She Stops to
Conquer"
The performance took place before Queen
Victoria in the India room at Osborne, which
had been transformed for the occasion into
a theater.
Princess Beatrice took the part of Miss
Neville. while her royal sister gave an ex-
cellent performance In the character of Miss
Hardcastle. The Marquis Of Lorne. by the
bye. also took part in the performance and
gave a faithful impersonation OF Tom
Tickle.
AS a girl Queen Wilhelmina Of Holland

other appropriate ceremonies will be held.
At the same time and in honor of the
Jubilee a new uniform will be furnished to
the Pope's guards. 1t will consist of a
small red vest. white trousers. high mill
tary boots. and a steel casque.. The casque
will have a name and a black and white
plume and the vest will be fashioned by a
black leather belt. to which a saber will be
attached. On certain occasions a German
cape. embroidered with gold. will also be
worn.
These uniforms are now being made in
Rome by Bavarian tailors. and it is esti-
mated that they will cost the Pope between
1900 and 5000. A few have already been
fitted on the soldiers. and those who lave

that there was. IL possible. a little more
tenderness in his voice than usual.
