■ GREAT FUNCTION ' Coronation of Pope Pius X Will Be Witnessed By Enormous Throng. Sixty Thousand Tickets Will Bo Issued for the Event Which Will Consume Five Hours. A Canopy Forty Feet High Will Surmount the Throne of St Peter. I Rome. Aug. 7.—The attention of I Rome is now centered on the solemn ■ coionation ceremories which are to ; occur on Sun ay and for which great I . prepaiations are making. The ihrone I of St. Peter, which Pius X will oc- - ! cupy, will be surmounted by a c nopy ■ | forty feet high. The fun tlon will consume five hours. The p pe has in- - formed the Vatican officers that he wishes to be received on the threshold of the basilica by Cardinal Rampolla. who. as arch priest of the church, will > address the formal greeting* to him. ’ At the cocci slon of the ceremony the 1 I pope will confer hfs bl ssing up .n the 1 people, but it has not yet been de- • cided whether he will do so inside • the church or from the balcony look--1 ing out on the piazza, where many ‘ i hoped he would bestow his benediction on the day of his election. It is said that Pius is favorable to ’ the latter plan, but that the influence 1 of the va’ican officers is against it 1 on the ground that it might be interpreted as a recognition of the present state of affairs in Italy. The holding of the coronation ceremonies tn St. Peter's itself represents a concession. as In the case of Leo XIII it ; • occurred in the sfstine chapel. It is expected that sixty thousand tickets will be issued for the event. In the consistories to be held Monday and Thursday next the pope will confer the red hat cn Cardinals Ajutl, ' Taliani, Katschthaler and Herrero y Espinosa, who were raised from purple on June 25. but who have not received these symbols of rank because of the illness and death of Leo. It Is believed that the Spanish Cardinal Herrero will not be able to be present at the coronation ceremonies, as he is still seriously ill. DRIVEN BY HUNGER. Pareled Illinois Convict Finds Himself In Sore Straits. New York. Aug 7. —Hungry, with his last cent gone, Charles J. Davis, under sentence for forgery In the Illinois State reformatory, who had violated the parole under which he was released from that institution, gave himself up and asked to be taken back to prison, as he had no hope of making an honest living Inability to get work at his trade as a stone-cutter, because a member of a union, is the reason, he declares, for his despondency.

If returned to prison now he must, under ' the Illinois law. serve out his full term. PROPOSITION WITHDRAWN. — | Pittsburg Labor Convention Revert* To It* Former State. ■'Pi tsburg, Pa.
