THE POPE'S CONDITION.
THE GREAT OLD MAN STILL ABLE
TO PERFORM PoTiFiCiAL
DUTIES.
His Features Slightly More Clear Cut,
His Hands Tremble P~erceptibly, But
His Voice is Plainly Heard.

ROME, June 22.-The concistory to-
day was specially important. owing TO
persistent rumors regarding the pope's
i'll health and previous postponements.
Naturally, the ceremony in which the
pope, half hidden in vestments. is
born on a chair and is continually as
sisted. is not the best opportunity to
judge of his appearance OF state OF
health, but a man capable of under.
going the strain Of such a function
has plenty of vitality. The pontiff's
features seemed slightly more clear
cut. and his hands trembled percept-
IDLY, but his voice is plainly heard,
though il has lost something of its
power. The ceremony was shortened
as much as possible and only lasted
thirty-five minutes.

to descend and the baggage was un.
loaded to enable Mr.. Harvey's sturdy
team to dislodge the carriage from
miry spots. 1t was IN experience
from which all are thankful to have
escaped without accident. Mr.. Harvey
