take advantage of excursion rates to 20

their influence is not confined to the

FULLY 10000 PERSONS
Attend the Public Reception Given.
Sunday, by Pope Plus \.

Rome, Nov. S.-Pope Plus x, this at
ternoon, held another of the receptions
inaugurated by him, this autumn, thai
the people of Rome might have his
blessing. At an earlyssaur the large
court of San Damaso was so full tina,
not another person could be squeezed
in. It is believed that there were about
20, 900 persons in the court and many
were turned away, while Raphaels
Loggia around the court was full to
overlooking.
The appearance of the Pope was made
amidst great pomp. Preceded by
guards and surrounded by the prelates
of the court he took up his position on
the throne under the clock, facing the
entrance. AS he came in 4 tremor OF
emotion was quite perceptible in the
vast crowd, the present generation be-
ing unaccustomed to any public view
Of Pope. His Holiness was visibly
touched and his eyes filled with tears.
After a brief silence there were loud
cries of Long live Plus"
Then chorus of clear-voiced girls
sung a hymn to the Pope, which had an
effect of indescrbable sweetness. AS
soon as the hymn was finished another
begun by a chorus of boy students, in
Guiding pupils from the American Col
lcge, led by Vice Rector Murphy of New
York. The Pope spoke for Is minutes
on the gospel of the day and was clear
ly heard by all. His concluding words
were "Times are evil, but the evil can
be cured by prayer"
His Holiness impaired the apostolic
tenediction to the great gathering. Sew
eral persons were then permitted to kiss
his hand.
