Theological Students Better

Vienna Sept. although a heavy
rain fell throughout almost the entire
day. there was a large attendance upon
tho various meetings OF the Eucharistic
Congress to-day. DR.. Paul Pfeifer. Of
Vienna In the course of a discussion on
the subject OF homes for theological stu
dents, deplored the scarcity of candidates
for the priesthood In Austria and Ger
many and the Inadequate provisions for
training candidates, as compared with
the excellent provisions made for the
students In the colleges OF the United
States. Or. Pfeifer declared that the un-
satisfactory facilities for boarding stu
dents IN Vienna were largely responsible
for their small number, and urged the
erection of students homes on the lines
already contemplated by the University
of Vienna
The unfavorable weather outlook is oc-
casioning much concern, as II Is feared 1t
may prevent the holding OF the great
procession which is scheduled for Sunday.
Thousands Of pilgrims already are here
whose only shelter Is in the schoolhouses
and who are suffering much discomfort
because Of the cold and rains.
Public interest in the congress has not
abated. Special trains are continually ar
irving. bringing hundreds OF picturesquely
attired pilgrims from Bavaria, the Tyrol,
Bohemia Gaicia, Croatia and Bosnia and
from other parts Of the monarchy, n ma
