CARDINAL GIBBONS
SHOWS MUCH NERVE
When He Suffers A Fall Due to
Priests BIunder.-Not Seriously
Injured. !

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 17.-Severely
shocked by fall to the floor of the
altar at st. Vincent's Catholic church
Cardinal Gibbons displayed striking
nerve Tuesday morning when he in
sisted on performing his part of the
ceremony attending the last rites ov-
er the body of Rev. Desire C. Dewulf.
Immediately after the mass had been
concluded the Cardinal arose from
his seat under canopy to don extra
-vestments before blessing the body
of the dead priest.
While the robes were being placed
on his shoulders one of the priests
took the chair from under the canopy
and passed it to an altar boy, telling
him to put it in the aisle between the
body and the altar. There was a
chair in the aisle already. After
putting on the vestments the Cardi-
nal, who had not seen the removal of
the chair. started to sit diwn again.
He fell to the floor.
Exclamation of suppressed alarm
broke from those ON the altar, and
some in the front pews, who had
witnessed the accident, and rush
was made to the side of the faller
prelate.
