ANNIVERSARY DISFELS CURIOUS BELIEF. The tenth anniversary of the alection of Pope Pius X., celebrated last month, had special interest because it completed the ninth year of his reign, thus destroy- ing the prophecy that he would not sur pass that limit as Pontiff. The celebra- tion took place in the Sistine Chapel, and the Pope, says Reuter's gorres- pondent, looked extremely well.
The Pope, who wore the triple crown and the Papal mantle, entered the chapel on foot, preceded and followed by the Noble and the Swiss Guarda. The Diple- matic Body, the Roman aristocracy, and the Knights of the Order of Malta assist ed from special tribunes. In another tribune were the sisters and the nices of the Pope.
The Mass was celebrated by Cardinal Merry del Val, and the music was pro- vided by the Papal choir directed by Macstro Lorenzo Perosi.
Pope prophesied to a friend that his When he was Bishop of Mantua the ninth year as Pontiff would be his last.
