Celebration of the Pope's Jubilee Wit.
messed by Thousands.

Rome, March 4.-From sunrise Tues
day all Rome was on the alert and
showing most unusual animation and
interest in the celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the corona
ton of Pope Leo XIII.
Over 10000 persons managed to get
inside the Vatican enclosure.
At IL o'clock precisely the great bell
of st. Peters and the bells of the
about 500 churches in Rome sounded
the announcement that the pontiff was
on his way to the basilica. The life of
the ancient city seemed to pause for
moment, hats were raised and the sign
of the cross was made. Shortly after
wards, inside st. Peters, silver trum-
pets blared out their message and the
pontiff appeared, and then all the pent
up enthusiasm burst forth in a ire
mendous roar of welcome
When the pope arrived at the throne
the ceremony proceeded rapidly.
Leaving the sedia gestatoria, the pom
tiff knelt and prayed and then rose
without assistance, donned the falda
and the new triple crown and the cell
ebration of the mass began. At the
moment of the elevation of the host a
profound silence fell on the assem-.
blage, the guards presented arms, the
people knelt, where it was possible
for them to do so, and from the cupola
came the clear, thin sounds of silver
trumpets, giving the idea Of heavenly
music.
The pope then administered the
papal benediction and retired to a
room for restoratives, prepared on &C.
casion of his visits to St. Peters.
When the pope returned to his apart.
ments he wished to discuss the cere-
mony and give his Impressions of it,
but his physician insisted on perfect
quiet on which the pontiff exclaimed:
"The demonstration today has been
so affecting. 1t surpassed all my ex-
pectations. l am completely satisfied.
There was no note of discord."

BELIEVED MEN Persisted.
Eight of Those on the Ice FIoes Are
Still Missinu.


Menominee, Mich, March 4.--Re-
ports brought in last night regarding
the loss of fishermen on the ice in
Green bay seem much worse than dur
ing the day.
Stragglers coming in who had es-
capped from the floating ice reported
that all the men were saved so far as
they knew, but reports last evening
were to the effect that eight men have
not been heard of, and it seems certain
they are still adrift on the ice or have
persisted.
The ice came in again Monday night
and many men were able to escape,
but change in the wind again took
the whole foe out again, with eight
men on 1t.
There is nothing but water in sight
north of Chambers island.
Those still unheard from and thought
to have persisted are: ole Betson,
John Walchter, John Williams, Ruby
Peterson, George Boyd, ]. Boghardt
and two others.
The ice field was broken into sew
eral pieces Tuesday morning, and it
is now thought it is all broken up. If
such is the case the men certainly
have persisted.
Many escaped yesterday by swim
ming ashore when the ice came back.

flood situation in the portion of the
Mississippi valley contiguous to Mem
This IS extremely critical, and reports
loss of life are at hand. 1t was
hough at first that the break in the
evee Monday night at Trices Landing
would help matters by relieving the
pressure of the water. Instead of this,
the break has complicated conditions
by flooding vast area in Arkansas
opposite Memphis, and now veritable
sea exists in the st. Francis and Mis-
sissiDp, river basins, extending from
one to the other. A few floating bod
les have been found at various points
by the rescuing boats.
Marion, Ark, is almost entirely
flooded. Negroes and white persons
are pouring into Marion every hour
asking that boats be sent to rescue
their families.
1t is estimated that several hundred
of persons are surrounded by the water
in the flooded Arkansas territory and
that the amount of live stock lost is
heavy. Negroes at Marion have given
way to fright and almost a panic ex-

LAST ASSEMBLY OF GRADE
SCHOOL PUPILS TOMORROW

Tomorrow morning the grade
schools of the city will assemble for
the last time this season and then it
will be only to receive report and
promotion cards.
This morning the pupils were held
but a short time and then allowed to
go that the teachers might devote
their time to making out reports and
summing up averages. Tomorrow af-
ternoon the teachers will make their
final reports to Supt Hayden.
Yesterday afternoon the eighth
grade pupils of the Longfellow and
Hawthorne schools received their di-
plomas, Supt IL. b. Hayden making a
short address at the former when he
handed out the documents that emit
tie the pupils to enter the high school
next fall, and being assisted by W. b.
Mcintyre later at the Hawthorne
school. This morning the eighth
grade pupils of the Lincoln school
were presented with their diplomas.
In the policy of the doing away
with the exercises at the end of the
grammar school work the school au-
thorities have been prompted largely
by the desire TO encourage as far as
possible the pupils to enter the high
school which is necessary to complete
the public school course. 1t is felt
that if there are any formal exercises
for the eighth grade pupils a mark is
thereby set and the pupils are en-
couraged to form the impression
that they have completed their school
work and with the climax thus afford
ed many of them will fail to take adj
vantage of the facilities that the pub
lie schools offer for a higher educa-
ton than would otherwise be the
case.
