ceptibly, but his voice was plainly heard
though it has lost something of its power
The ceremony was shortened as much as
possible and only lasted about thirty-five
minutes.
All the cardinals of the Curia were in
vited to the Vatican half an hour before
the Pope's appearance and they assem-
bled in the consstory hall in order of pre-
cedence, forming a striking picture. The
entrance of the Pope. clad in white vest
ments and surrounded by his trusted COM
panions in their red robes, gave a finishing
touch TO the scene. After receiving the
homage of those present the Pontfff recit-

had been appointed by brief The Pontiff
appointed Cardinal Agliardi. who has been
replaced as project of economy of the

Chiesa Della Volpe.
The Pope delivered a short aIIocution
which he intended TO be kept private,
though containing nothing of great inn
portance. He merely greeted the cardinals
and said he liked to discuss only pleasant
subjects, but satisfactory events were min
gled with painful occurrences. The DEM
