The embroidering is done in a rather
coarse cotton or wooden thread, which
brings the patterns out splendidly on
the fine material. Among the various
effects seen are conventional designs
in all-over patterns done in colors that

World Afflicted by Five
Plaques, Pope Declares
Hatred, Thirst for Pleasure and
Disgust for Work Among

ROME, Dec. 24-"The world is af
hictcd to-day by five great plaques"
said Pope Benedict, in replying to the
greetings of The Sacred College by Car
dnal Vannutelli at the reception to
the Ponttf to-day.
The Pope enumerated these as: The
negation of authority, hatred among
brothers., thirst for pleasure, disgust
for work and forgetfulness of the
supernatural objects of life.
These evils can only be overcome
with the aid Of the Gospel, said the
Pope, and therefore he would never
cease to remind the people of it, this
being his mission and his intention.
The Pope, reastablishing the tradi
tions of his predecessors, celebrated
three midnight masses in the Pauline
Chapel, which was beautifully deco
rated with flowers and glittering with
candles. All the members of the
ecclesia stical and lay court were pres
ent, together with the entire personnel
of the apostolic palace and a limit. d

The Pope uttered a special prayer for
the recovery of Cardinal Gibbons and

BERLIN. Dec. 25.-Like father, like

the Duke of Brunswick, husband of the

pamiest days, the duke, Prince Ernest
August, recently submitted to the
rulers of the dukcdom which he lost
after the war a list Of the grants
he thought his dukedom ought to
make to compensate him for the loss
of his throne.
The throne had been wedding gift.
His assumption of it had ended feud
between the Hohenzollcrns and the
Guclphs that started in 1866. He had
ormed an alliance with ctoria
Louise. which, although it lost him the
rights to his fathers domain in Han
over. had brought him into power in
Brunswick.
His new realm was only about the
size of two American counties. hut
when he lost it and was forced to flee.
along with other royalists, to the Sc.
clusion of Dutch soil he didn't give up
his property rights.
The bill he presented to the Bruins
wick legis uturc was rejected yesterday
with note that the domain could not
nav such excessive demands. Perhaps
tho legislators recalled that the duke
