Bishop Reconcles Feudists.-Eight |
| Sandman families which have been
| principals in vendetta for sixty-five
years have been reconciled, according
to reports to the Giornale d'Italia.
Since the feud began there have been
| seventy-five murders and much prop
| erty damage done by members of the
| families involved. The Bishop of
Tempo, where most of the families
reside, officiated at the ceremony of
reconciliation, which was conducted
in a crowded church, there being 200
identified with the feud in attendance.
| After the Bishop had given the men
his blessing, the feudists embraced
and took the oath of reconciliation. A
TIE Deum was then sung by the entire
congregation.
| A Welsh JubiIee.-Some interesting
features of an historic nature marked
a recent event of Importance in
Wales-the observance of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the conservation
to the episcopate of Rt. Rev. Francis
Mostyn, Bishop of Menevia. 1t was
pointed out in connection with the OBJ
servance that the present city of St.
: David's was formerly Menevia When
: st. David, who was the first Bishop,
: was canonized by Pope Calixtus III,
the city came to be called after him.
In view of this Menevia was the sole
: link with the old hierarchy, and the
: jubilee which was being celebrated
was that of the eighty-fifth Bishop of
r Menevia. At a jubilee Mass in con.
e nection with the observance of the
e occasion, there were used some vest
: ments which dated from the fifteenth
century. They came from the Escurial
Palace in Spain. They have been on
t exhibition at Kensington several
i times.
