AS Cardinal Macchi. the dean of the
cardinal deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head of the venerable
pontiff the throng of 10000 gathered
within the cathedral burst into I'M
restrained acclamations, the choir in
toned hymn of triumph and the bells
of Rome rang out a joyful peal.
1t is 81 years ago since the Romans
and Europe assisted at such a function
i'm st. Peters. The papal throne, a
bewildering combination of gold, red
and silver, was erected in front Of the
high altar. on the altar, which was
draped in white, stood the famous sill
yer gilt candlesticks and a magnifi-
cent crucifix All the available stand
ing space within the cathedral was d.
vided into sections by wooden barriers,
which to a certain extent kept the
crowd in order.
The form of the ceremony was as
given last week. Pope Plus was quite
overcome by the ceremony. His right
hand shook as he raised it, time after
time to bestow his blessing and he had
scarcely strength left to impart the
apostolic benediction. Cardinals Mac
Chi and Sogna granted plenary in
diligence to all present and the pro-
cession reformed and left the basilica
in the same form as it came.

At the instigation of DIR. Robert EN-
net of New York, an examination has
been made of the grave at Dublin,
Ireland, supposed to be that of the
patriot Emmett. A skeleton was
ound. said to be that of man six feet
high, whereas Emmett was only five
eet seven inches. A curious circum-
tance in connection with the exami-
lation was that the skull, instead of
icing found lying prone, attached to
he trunk was in an upright position
which, as Emmett was beheaded, may
trengthen the theory that the remains
we're his. but the matter is still re-
,arded as doubtful.
