When. finally, the doors of st.
Peters were opened an almost in
describable struggle occurred. in which
all present forgot the rules of holiness
and strove hard with push and elbows
to reach the interior of the sacred
edifice. while ON all sides We're heard
cries of fear and imprccationS not very
well suited to the spot where Il notable
religious ceremony was about TO be-
gin. Once inside the cathedral. the
ladies who wore lace gowns found
them to be in Il much mutilated con
dition. and some of the women were
carried away in fainting condition.
The tribuneS were soon crowded to
overlooking and all the best standing
places were taken.
Royal Personages Present.
A period of comparative calm sue
cceded this great rush and the atten-
ton Of the people was attracted TO the
gilded throne near the high altar and
10 the immense pillars of the basilica,
hung with red Silken draperies. Some
of the tribuues on each side of the
altar were Tiled with men and women
wearing decorations. In Il group OF
royal persOuages were the Crown

EFFORT MADE FOR ]. FRUIT PROTECTION
ALABAMA STATE HORTICUL-
 TURAL SOCIETY IS ORGANIZED
 AND A RESOLUTION REGARDING DESIRED LEGISLATION PASSED.

The Alabama State Horticultural so- ciety was organized last night in the Commercial club with about twenty five members. Constitution and bylaws were adopted, and the society started off by passing a resolution petitioning the legis- lature to adopt laws protecting the fruit trees of the state against the San Jose scale" and other similar diseases which prevent the growth of fine fruit.
 The election of officers resulted as fol- lows:
 President-W. F. Hekes of Huntsville.
 Secretary and Treasurer-Prof. R. S. Macintosh.
 Executive Committee-Paul Hoffman, John Wallace and M. c. Scott.
 The vice presidents, nine in number, are to be elected by the executive com mittee.
 The only committee named by the pres ldent last night was one on legislation, and to this committee was given the power to frame and get passed, if pos- sible, a bill to protect the fruit trees against disease. The committee is com posed of Robert Chase, R. S. Macintosh Dr. Wilcox, John Wallace and l.. R. Whe- less.
 A meeting will probably be called in the next two weeks al Montgomery to aid In passing the bill referred to. The sense of the society is that the legislature shall grant an appropriation to cover the ex- pense of the work.
