cell house was not properly provided for, that the
main shops were arranged not to receive
afternoon sunlight. and that the arrangements
for the hospital and other buildings were poor

SAINT JOAN OF ARC.
Reading Of Beatfcation Decree
POpe'S Message to France.

Rome. Dec. 13.-There impressive cere-
mony at the Vatican to-day on the occasion of the
reading of the beatifCation DEGREES conferred upOn
Joan of Arc and thirty-siX French missionaries who
met the death of martyrs in China. The reading
of the DEGREES took place in the presence Of Pope
Pux and many high prelates The decree to
Joan Of Arc rected the details of three miraculous
cures in the years 1891. 1893 and 1900 Following
the invocation TO Joan Pope Plus delivered an ad-
dress eXtolling the faith OF Joan she was called
by God TO defend her country said His Holiness
and accomplished feat that the whole world be-
heved to be impossible That which is impossible
to man alone, unaided, be accomplished with
the help of GOD. The power OF the Evil One is In
the feebleness of Christians"
Turning to the French preates the Pope con-
unued: When you return to France tell YOUR
fellow citizens if they love france they should
love God. the faith. the Mother Church Let them
remember Joan's cry, Long live Christ and the
King OF Francer"
The Pope expressed the conviction that France
through divine intercession, would return TO the
bosom of the Church. saying that the fntercession
OF the new saints strengthened him in this belief
