Lugari to Represent Pope
 The pope has designated Cardinal Lu- eari, one of the later members of the Sacred college, to represent him at the Eucharistic congress, which is held at L,ourdes, France, beginning on July 22 This congress, held last year at Malta and not long ago at Montreal, Is to have some new features this year. They in cude the exposition of the Blessed Sa- crament Tn the cdLneQral instead or III the outdoor parade, and the holding of the preaching services at places along the way of the procession, where tenn porary and often picturesque pulpits have Dutien erected.
 Seven archbishops and bishops from the
 'nited States plan to attend, but the whole number of such prelates will be hearly POO, the largest ever to attend such kcongress. The French bishops will be tpresent in full force, and will report that the Catholic church in France, under separation from the state, and relying wholly on it's own resources for support, has made greater progress in eight years last past than in 80 years previous, when relying upon and in large measure con trolled by the state. Prelates of varying degree of rank will be at Lourdes from al- most every nation under the sun.
 This Eucharistic congress, as may be re- membered, was suggested by woman and has been held annually for some 15 years. It has come to be a great mass meeting, with few papers and less confer ence, to teach the Eucharistic doctrine held by the church, and inspire in the minds of the common people adoration < and worship of the Blessed Sacrament d a1erican Catholics are looking forward kb inviting the congress to assemble in some American city.
