Patrick's Cathedral.
ADDRESSES OF WELCOME.
His Eminence Replies and Warns the
People Against Communism.
Tbe clergy end laity of New York, and epticopal
representatives ol dioceses beyond, assembled In
great numbers at St. Patrick's Cathedral yoaterday
slternoon to give a forms! welcome to the Cardinal
krchbmbup, lately returned frout Koine. In ao ec
clesiastical sense the reception was most informal, tor
.be bneleal part ol Ibo ceremonies was conducted in
.he Latin tongue, and, aside (rotn tbe peg.
rantry and maguiflcent Church and clerical ap
pointments, a remarkablo simplicity pervaded
sit Evory seat ana every foot ol (laud
ing room in the church were occupied long beloro
tbe escorting procession entered. People ol ull social
conditions and notable men ol various religious and
political lalths were present to welcome the man and
the priest. The assemblage was representative ol cos
mopolitan New York, and, It possible, numeri
cally stronger than that which gathered to
sritneas the imposition ot tbe berretta some time ago.
Tbo scene was an imposing and memorable one no
lees oo sccount of Us novelty tban for Its in
trinsic elements. The stately procession of
?obed priests, the lines of crimson eae
locked ucolyter, with candles and bras"n
tmblcms; tne Cardinal In crimson silk, with a
'etlnue or nlttr boys bearing up his flowing robe;
.he sea ol beads, tbe ceaseless movement of
.IrelseB fans, the altar, with Us tuellow gol
Ion tapers and the purple bishops, all r&dlant
In tbo runllgbt tbat came slanting through tbo
arched Gothic windows, recalled the storied days
when, ''with plumes and cloaks, una housings, and
the stir of jewelled bridle and ot golden spur," Val
moud, ol Allemaln, and Hobert, of Sicilv, journeyed
homo hnppv in tho benediction of Pope Urbau.

The anxiously awaited time buving arrived the
bead of the procession entered the cbnrcb through
the centre porial ana passed up tho aisle
while tbe organ played u preludo fugue (G

Iz immdiotely preoeded tbe Cardinal, who
vas escorted on either hand by his
rlenrs, Fathers Qumn and Preston, followed by
the secretary. Father Farley; then came in purple
robes Bishops Corrigan, ol Newark; Wadhams, ot
Pgdaasburg; McNteruey, ol Albany; Ryan, of
BufTaio; Mcyuuue, ol Rochester; Lougblln, ot
Srooklyo, and Conroy, Apostolic Delegate to
Canada. The priests brought up the end of tbo
line, tbe visitor* lirsi and tbca the local clergy. Tbe
procession or priests was not so large as that to at
tendance at the last ceremony, of which the Cardinal
eras the central figure, but was more varied.
Scattered here and there among the priests In
klack cassocks and white surplices were
teen monks of tho Franciscan and Ca
puchin orders, la brown cowlod gowns, and
Dominican friars in habits of the same pattern, hut
el creamy wbne color. Wbilo tho bishops were seat
ing themselves un l the priests filing to their allotted
places on and around the slur the boys chauted
"Sacerdos et Ponliflx."
Tho Cardinal hud now mounted tho throne on tho
Mil ol ibo altar, the bishops aat lacing him, inalde ibe
?Itar rail, and there wu? ? sbori pause, ibe sing

Hardly noticeable, for presently the cbolr

THU HOUSE THAT CAliK BUILT.
WHAT THE ALDERMEN AND THE DKPABTMCHT
OF FCBL.IG WOBKS HAS TO DO WITH IT.
It li understood that one of the cam* under which
the Grand Jury will present indictment! against the

to Thomas P. Curr to erect a showcase and show
window on the corner of Thirty-DUli street and Hlxth

this buildine In the early part ol last April.
He notice i Inst the sldo ol the Iramu bouse on tne
northeast corner ol Sixth avenuo aid 1 blriv-Oltb
street bad been set out so as to cover Ibe stoop line.
The owuer and oocup.int were officially untitled by
Mr. Uluuienthal to discontinue the work. An ex
animation ol tne premises was also made soon alter
by Commissioner Caiupbsli, when Mr. tsuuth, tbo
owner, was notided that tbo building was an en
croaebineut upon toe public highway und
could not be allowed. Clu the Uih ol April
Aldurmau Bigliu introduced a resolution is

Alderman Hindu's resolution having passed was stbl
to the Mayor. Uu tne 16th it was withdrawn by toe
Aldermen from ttie Mayor, as the encroachment be

Another resolution, however, was passed on the
same day pertaining Carr to ereet ? showcase and
ahow window ou the same premises. The Mayor
vetoed Inw resolution, but Ibe Aldermen passed
it over his veto on the Tin iubu Then the
Department of Public Works again stepped in
under the construction ol ibe law by the
Corporation Counsel und Mayor, and insisted lliut
the work should not go on. An tuluuciiun was next
procures by me occupant restraining lbs Department
