pope Shows Signs of Illness.
As he entered the hall of the con*
slstory where today’s ceremony took
place the Pope’s step was less sure
and* the care worn face of His Holi
ness bore signs of his recent illness.
Nevertheless he withstood the fa
tigue of th^ long c»:deal bravely with a
smile for each and a word for several
in the long procession that passed be
fore the papal throne. %
In accordance with the ecclesiastical
law, a public consistory must take
place three, days after the private gath
ering when the new cardinals with the
exception of those frftn Spain sjad
aad Austrian ?)Telates. as ^
iboocordftt with ‘'
those countries must receive the bl-
retta first from the hands of their tem*
poi:^ sovereign.
The public conslstwy will take place
Thursday in the hall of the beatiflca-
tion instead of In the Salaregia as at *
first'planned.
Save for those participating, today's
meeting might have been a scene from
the 13th or 14th .feentury. In olden
times the sacred college met in se
cret consistory and there discussed
ana finally, decided upon the pope’e
nominations. Frequently objections
were*.raised to candidates and their
names were never proclaimed. Hence,
the' privacy of the meeting. At pres
nt, however, the consent of the mem-
rers to ihe papal program is assued
in advance and the election is purely
formal.
The/ consistory was set for nine
o’clock. Early in the tlay great crowda
gather6d in the piazza, of St. Peter's
and around the basilica to witness the
arrival of the cardinals and OTher dig
nitaries.
Gathered In the hall of the con^
slstory those whom duty or privilege
brought there chatted for a few mo
ments, noting sadly the passing of sev
eral who had been present on the last
similar occasion.
As the nibment arranged for the ap
pearance of the pontiff approached the
assemblage separated In three groups
before the throne. In one group w^
the cardinal bishops, in another the
cardinal priests to whom the new
American cardinals will be added,
while the third section comprised the
cardinal deacons. Behind the card!- .■
nals were the patriachs, archbishops,
bishops, heads of orders, other high
personages and various persons fa
miliar to the papal court.
Presently the door at the rear ol
the hall was opened and the noble
guards in their brilliant uniforms ap
peared, making way for the white clad
figure of ^is hollhess. Followed by
.the Swiss guard and his suite, the pon-
*tiff paused for a moment at the thresh- •
hold while those present bent the
knee. With a smile he greeted them
and then walked to the throne.
The procession before the throne
followed immediately. Each Vilgnitary
accoMing to precedence, approached
in Cum and, kneeling kissed the papa!
ring. It was a long and tiresome cere
mony which Pius X bore with great pa-
trlQUCQ*
As the last of the number paying
homage returned to his place the mas
ter of ceremonies loudly proclaimed
“extra ommes” and gradually tb€
greifter' number withdrew until the
pontiff and the cardinals were left
alone for^the duties which had
brought them together.
Pius X broke the silencr. that follow
ed, voicing a simple prayer and then,
still sitting, delivered a brief allocu
tion.
In this the Pope begins by saying
that the present year is a year ol
mourning for the church. All feel that
this phrase alluded to the clamorous
commemoration of the Italian jubilee
which, it is felt, offended the rights ol
the holy see. Through the manifesta
