A BEAUTIFUL OCCASION Has Proved a Wonderful and Touching Manifestation of the Love of a Con gregatlonfor a Pastor?Public Reception Last Night. ?With the publia reception held last night In Belvldere Hall, tho cclobratlon of the twonty-Clth anniversary of tho or? dination of the Rev. Father James B. O'Reilly, pastor of tho Sacred Heart Church, of this city, was brought to an end. The celebration has proved a wonderful nnd touching manifestation of tho love of a congregation for a pastor, who dur? ing the past ten or twelve years has de? voted himself heart and soul to tho good of his people. It was not of his choleo that tho demonstration was made, but the congregation forcibly took mattors Into their own hands and observed tho ovent In a manner befitting Its Interest and importance. The exorcises began last Sunday, and, extending through four days, came to a clo30 last night with tho great public reception. THE CHILDREN. One of the most notablo features of the entire celebration was tho greeting given by tho children on Tuesday afternoon to tho beloved pastor. The exercises were held at 5 o'clook In the basement of the church In the presence of an audience which entirely filled tho place. A pro? gramme of unusual excellence was car? ried out. All of tho children who attend the Sacred Heart School were there, each little girl being dressed, In white. The different classes were represented by speakers who told Father O'Reilly of their regard for him. Ono little tot of six or seven years presented him with a hand-painted booklet, containing portraits of the children. One of the girls was n Protestant, who like all others who have met him, has learned to love the genial and kindly pastor of Sacred Heart, and she, too, arose to express her pleasure and happiness nt the auspicious event Tha boys declared roundly that they would grow up to be men and stand solidly around their pastor, and give him anj protection and help he may need at any time In his life. Father O'Reilly was visibly affected by the scene. Particularly was this the case when the tiny little girls gathered to? gether and sang "Sweet Jesus, Bless Him," those In front kneeling down that tho heads of the others behind them might appear. Again was the scene a striking one when the children, sang of the silver Jubilee, to tho accompaniment of little silver bells they carried. Father O'Reilly made such response as his feelings would permit, and then the little ones all knelt and received his "blessing. JTJBILEE . MASS. Tosterday morning the Jubilee mass was celebrated. Father O'Reilly officiated, and the church was crowded again. About seventeen priests, many of them from out of town, were present In tho sanctuary. The church was beautifully decorated with candies and pajms and flowers. The sermon for the occasion was preached by one of the visitors who took occasion to pay a. high and deserved tribute to the pastor of Sacred Heart. He dwelt particularly upon Father O'Reilly-1 kindness and thoughtfulness toward the young prlestj who harre from time to time been associated with him at the Sacred Heart Church. He admitted that the lov< felt by the congregation-for-the pastor was great, but he declared that through? out the State Father O'Reilly was held in almost equal esteem by his fellow ministers. The difficult mass in Latin waj sung by children who did wonderfully well. They have been In training some time for the occasion, and they acquitted themselves in a splendid manner. Presented With Purse. The reception last night was a fitting ending to the celebration. Great numbers of the friends and admirers of the pop? ular priest gathered to shake him by the hand and express their love and es? teem for him. Captain Frank Cunning? ham was present and sang several solos. Stein's Orchestra was also there with Its 6weet music. Among those in the audi? ence were Catholics from all parts of the city, including many priests. The climax of t"-.e evening came with the presenta? tion to Father O'Reilly of a purse of money amounting to nearly $1,500. The entire congregation contributed to the fund, and tho purse was presented by Mr. Creamer with appropriate remarks. In his speech Mr. Creamer expressed the hope that th? purse would enable Father O'Reilly to pay a visit to his old homo and his aged parents In Ireland. It Is known that he has long desired to do so. Father O'Reilly made suitable response to the address, although he: was almost too af? fected to give utterance to his thoughts. Ho expressed heartfelt thanks for the wonderful tribute paid to him, and de? clared that he was unworthy of it all, The exercises closed after a most de? lightful evening. The attendance was very large and very enthusiastic. All of the people went forward and shook Father O'Reilly by the hand. CAROLINA BANKERS After Delightful Day on Water They Hold Business Session.

KINO PETER AT BELGRADE Welcomed With Much Pomp and Enthusiasm. LONGL1VEPETERTHEFIRST Exultant Shouts Wherever He Appears. Many Welcomes and Responses. Impressive Ceremonies at the Cathedral. (By Associated Press.) BELGRADE, June 34.?King Peter ar? rived here at 10 o'clock this morning and was received with great'enthusiasm. The ministers, government ofllolals, judges, municipal and military authorities and leading citizens were assembled on the platform ot tho railroad station, whloh was profusely decorated. The only foreign representatives who participated In tho reception of tho King were the Russian minister, M. Tchary koff, and the Austrian minister, Herr Dumbo, with the members of their re? spective legations. A guard of honor, with.a band, saluted a? King Poter de? scended from his car and greeted the Cabinet ministers. Tire premier, M. Avakumovlch, Introduced! M. Tcharykoff to tho King and tho Russian minister presented th? Austrian minister. ? Thus the Austrian minister bad no Intercourse with the provisional government, with which, thus far, he has had no rela? tions. A procession was formed and the King proceeded to the cathedral. The streets wero lined with troops and crowded -with people. From the moment King Peter left the train and tho band welcomed him with playing the Servian national anthem, his progress was followed by prolonged, hearty cheers and exultant Bhouta of "Long live Peter the First" wherever he appeared. The premier made a speech before the King's departure from the railroad sta? tion, welcoming His Majesty, who, In a brief reply, expressed his appreciation of his election to the throne. The King then" exchanged greetings with the cabi? net ministers, Including Colonel Maschjn, minister of publlo works, who took a leading part In tha assassinations, and Interchanged compliments with the Rus? sian and Austrian ministers. Tho ceremony at the Cathedral lasted half an hour. The edifice was crowded. On the arrival of the King mass -was celebrated with the brilliant observance of the Greek ritual, the King standing erect and impassive, maintaining the same grave demeanor which marked his movements throughout. After the mass the Metropolitan made a short address. A special prayer for the King was then offered and the splendid choir chanted tha old Gregorian, "Kyrie Eleison." On Leaving the Cathedral, the King's procession moved at a brisk trot to the new palace, King Poter when he de? scended, entered the state ball-room, where the members of th? Skupshtlna presented him -with an address of -wel? come. PICTURESQUE SCENE. The scone was extremely picturesque. The homely garb of peosanta who had been allowed to enter the room and tho simple attire of the deputies present con? trasted with the white and gold decora? tions of the ball-room and th? splendor of tho uniforms of tho members of the King's staff. One of the most striking Impressions of the whole day's proceedings was the evi? dent relief caused by the arrtval of the King. There was an entire absence of disturbance, and apparently, the only thought given to the tragedy which changed the dynasty was by King Peter, who, when passing the old palace, mo? mentarily ceased his salutations to the cheering crowds to gaze on tho scene of the murder of his predecessor. The whole town was given over to re Joiolng. Tha peasants held their natural dances and everybody was In holiday garb. There are no lack of people, conversant with the Inner life of the Servian capital, who declare that the apparently univer? sal onthuslasm was a cleverly "stage managed" demonstration.

Some old taint or poison that has been slumbering there for years, }s beginning to assert itself, and breaks out and becomes a bad ulcer and perhaps the beginning of Cancer. These old sores are rooted in tbe blood, and while washes, soaps, salves, etc., keep the surface clean, they are not healing.
