 Worships in Sistine Chapel.
 Before leaving the vatican tho pope went to the Sistine chapel to worship before the sacrament exposed therein, then he passed through the Sa't Regia and the Constantine staircase into the portico of the basillica. He there seat ed himself on a throne erected directly before the holy door and win seats around for the members of the sacred college. the chapter of St. Peters and the papal court At the right of the throne Prince Orsini, the assistan- tc the papal throne. who withdrew his recent resignation of the post in order to anticipate in the function.
 Immediately beside the pope were the major domos Monsignore Ca gaino, the master of the chamber, Monsignore Bisleti, the master of cer. emonies, Monsignore Riggi and pr. Lapponi. The pontiff was very pale but composed.
 The low ceiling sent back an ex- quisite echo of the Tuus Petrus, sung by the Sistine choir. whose voices were heard outside in the piazza of St. Peters Cardinal Rampolla, ad vancirg with dignity, knelt at the foot of the pope. He then said:
 T offer an act of obedience to your holiness and wish you a prosperous and glorious pontificate."
 The cardinal recalled that the bodies of the first pcpe and St Paul rested in the basillica, which fact, he said. was ot good augury for the work of the new head of the Catholic church. The pontiff was visibly touched and anwering in a trembling voice warmly thanked the cardinals for their vel wishes. Good wishes" he said, ''art extremely precious"
 At the Door of the Basiiica. : sThe procession then reformed an( proceeded to the door of the basilics ] through which Plus X gave an almos terror stricken glance, whispering t' pr. Lapponi, Shall I ever be able tt go through with it?'
 i The people in the basilica had in thu meantime become impatient, ant when the gleaming cross which pre- i ceded the cortege was seen it wa; greeted with great applause. On the i appearance of the pontiff himself i I seemed as though the people woult seek to carry him in their arms, st great was their enthusiasm. Cries O. l "Pius. our pope. our father" and Lon: | live Plus X were raised, notwithstand ! ing the large placards posted all owe [ the basilica saying, "acclamations art | forbidden" Leaflets to the same effec were distributed among the crowd ] The cries continued until the pontif was compelled to rise and bless th' multitude and at the same time hC made a sign for more deferentiaI be havior. Silence was enforced whe1 the choir announced its entrance witt the "Eccesacerdos Magnus," whicf was accompanied by the sweet note of the silver trumpets.
 A quaint ceremony was then carrie' out. The master of ceremonies knei three times before the pontiff, eacs time lighting a handful of hemp whicl surn.ounted a silver torch, and as thj flame flashed and went out he said:
 Holy Father, thus passeth away thu glory of the world
 The pope was visibly fatigued, ana | his right hand shook as he raised i time after time to bestow his blessing ] When the ceremony was over all tht exits to the basillica wer eopened, ant within less than an hour the hall wa empty.
 Strong as Plus X is physically, h'
 supported the ordeal of his coronation Sunday perhaps with less fortitudt than did Leo XIII, when he wa crowned, although Leo was merely 1 shadow of a man, but possessed vii which nothing could break. Sunda, evening when the pontiff received tht duke of Parma he said to him: ' His Most Tremendous Experience. Not counting the election. Sunda. was the most tremendous experience of my life must find way to stoI the noise in the church. It is an of fense against religion"
 Although there was a tremendou
 crowd at St. Peters Sunday, not [
