ARCHBI8HOP g (MJahtinelli-thibute to the I (ACADEMY'S FqtproKR BYAHCH ; /BISHOP KAIN-NOTADLE CERE MONIES YESTERDAY?TIJE COM MENCEMENT THIS EVENING. Without a marring cloud In the bright ITuno sky, and with all the accompani ments of success, tho Jubilee ceremonies were inaugurated yesterday morning at Mont tie CJiantal. . Tho beautiful grounds wero early tho scene of a Jorge crowd of alumnae, and the number of J 'distinguished clergy present marked the occasion as one which shall long shine resplendent upon the academy's es cutcheon. The first of the three days' ceremonies was a brilliant success. Nearly every state in the Union v"a? represented- in the farmer students pres ent, and some of the brightest lights in the Cathollo church traveled a long ^distance to participate In the honoring of the fiftieth year of an institution, ?which has grown from its beginning in 3848, to a ranking place with any simi lar institution this side of the briny deep. The most distinguished visitor was Archbishop Martlnelll, of Washing ton, D. C., and delegate of Pope Leo to '..'America. Ho was accompanied by his secretary, Dr. Hooker. He was shown all the honors due his position. An other distinguished and welcome visitor was Archbishop J. J. Kaia, of St. Louis, and formerly of Wheeling. The Mount never appeared to better advantage. Its wide lawns and count less shade trees and graveled walks were In- perfect trim, and though tho weather elsewhere was decidedly warm It was not so on the choice elevation the Mount occupies. There was a pleasing temperature on the grounds, while in the interior of the buildings it was so cool that, despite the large crowds, not a handkerchief was seen, a significant fact that perspiration was absent. y ,The academy was In gala lfctlre. Four V- immense American Hags fioated from the cupolas, and trl-colored bunting hung across the porches. Yellow and white, the Jubilee colors, were on all sides,, a unique and pleasing feature being the white dresses and yellow sashes worn by the academy pupils. Flowers were in abundance in every room, and cooling drinks were provided to the visitors. The crowd In attendance ran into the hundreds. There were former students present with their children and grand children, and delightful reunions were the order of the day. Naturally, the fair sex was- In the majority. The exo dus to the Mount began Monday even ing, when the incoming trains on the Baltimore & Ohio began to drop off alumnae at the academy gates. Spe cial trains Were run from this.city yes terday, and the Wheeling & Elm Grove motors were conveyances for hundreds of people, while many people drove out In carriages. There were probably more Wheeling pepple present at the production of the Mikado last night than at the mass in the morning, and to-day's attendance will even be greater. PONTIFICAL MASS. The Jubilee, services were formally opened with the pontifical high mass In the Mount chapeL at 10:30 o'clock. The celebrant was Rt. Rev. Bishop P. J. Donahue, D. D. Rev. F. Z. Rooker, D.

D., were Rev. Joseph Mullen, and to Archbishop Kaln, D. D., Rev. M. Fitzpatrlck, of ? Beverly, and Rev. H. McMenamin, of Benwood'. The altar wa3 beautifully decorated with smllax and potted plants, and the gorgeous vestments of the clergy re flected the light of the numerous can dles. Von Weber's mass was sung by ? a special choir, and a\ sermon dealing with the features of the fifty years of ' the academy, and a sketch of its found er, Bishop Whelan, was delivered by Archbishop Kain. During the mass the apostolic dele gate, clad in- his rich purple vestments, occupied' the red plush throne of hon or to the left. The mass was celebrated in his honor, and he took no active part In It. Near him sat Bishops Wat erson, of Columbus, and Phelan, of Pittsburgh.

The cervices concluded about noon with the Tccesslonul. I ARCHBISHOP RAIN'S SERMON. 'Tho sermon delivered at the pontifical mass by Archbishop Kain, was full of Interest to not only those at some time connected with tho Mount, but to the community at large, covering as It did the history of the ncademy for fifty years. The archbishop pa,Id glowing tributes to the late Bishop Whelan and tho eight Sisters of St. Francis who founded the academy. These eight Sisters, said the arch bishop, were from the Visitation acad emy In Bnltlmore. They arrived In Wheeling on April 4, 1808, coming from Cumberland, Md., over the National pike, In a stage coaph, tho bout convey- , anco In those day*. This coach drew up at the corner of Sixteenth and Eoft streets, and was met by Bishop Whr> lan, at whoso solicitation they haA made their Journey. As the diocese or Wheeling wasn't founded until 1650, thla city Van in the diocese of Richmond, with Bishop Whelan presiding. Bishop Whelan was a man of rare foresight and an Indomitable worker. With the ready assistance of the brave I Sisrtera be laid the foundation of Mont de Chantal. Its beginning was modest. 1 Tho Bisters found time to teach a glrla' parochial school ctso. and lent their energies to the double taslc with com* , mendable fortitude. Bishop Whelan ! had many difficulties to face. More j teachers were needed and another trouble was lack of room. Finally four more teachers were sent from Balti more. Then the bishop decided on a new site for tho academy, andi after careful consideration picked on tho present Ideal location^ The grounds I then were not as now. They were rough ! and crude, barren, entirely of a sign of their present beautifying additions. To purchase the ground and erect a suitable building was a difficult tasto, , and Bishop Whelan strove hard to ob tain the necessary funds. Bishop Whe lan was the real founder of Mont de Chantal, and It stands as a monument to his encrgy?'wK||flMHM(PffiMi I Archbishop Kali* paid eloquent trib ute to the nuns In charge. Of the orig inal eight Sisters only two survive. Their mission and that of their succes- I sors is Cl\rlstllKe, for every Christian teacher Is'U co-worker with Christ. Mont de Cbanital has been fortunate In having for Its teachers ladies whose j Intellectual powers havo made their pu- j plls love the classic halls and return to them with delight at the celebration of tho Mount's semi-centennial. In con- i elusion, Archbishop Kaln congratulated the Institution and students, and hoped It would receive^as in former * years j warm encouragement and libera* pat ronage. He effectively showed the merits of the academy. Incidentally, Archbishop Kaln- re-1 ferred to the antagonistic spirit against Cathollo education, which was mani fested among many non-Catholics, 1 when the academy was first founded. This feeling of opposition, he said, had worn away, and that now some of the Mount's strongest supporters are Pro- , testant girls who are proud- of their alma inater. The old antagonistic spirit, coupled with tho limited means of most Catholic families, made Bishop Whelan's path a difficult one, but he had- started right, and as time grew his foundling progressed, its consumma tion,being the present magnificent in stitution. DELIGHTFUL REUNIONS. There was nothing formal arranged for the afternoon, and it was spent by the numerous visitors in walking a.bout the charming grounds and buildings, or in holding delightful reunions with schoolmates of former years. The af ternoon's gaiety contrasted strongly with the lmpresslveness of the morn ing services, and tne many chatting groups testified to the- pleasure de rived by alumna meeting with alum na. "You haven't changed a bit," was a frequent remark, and It led to the observation of one distinguished alum na from. Tennessee "That Mount girls never seem to grow old." The Opera House orchestra was sta tioned out in the grounds' under a large spreading oak tree, and discoursed a pleasing programme throughout the afternoon. Monselgneur .Martlnclli, with a group of other distinguished di vines, were photographed from the en trance. Inside the buildings there was an animated scene. Every one of the large rooms was supplied with easy chairs, and'conversatlon on "when we went to school here" was entertaining to no small degree. The good sisters of the MOunt were j indefatigable In their efforts to enter tain their old piipils. They were as sisted by the reception committee. The trustees looked- after the visiting cler gy. The trustees are Bishop Donahue, CoL Thomas O'Brien, Patrick Kenne dy. Robert Devries ahd George Fceny. The clergy were tendered an elaborate luncheon in the parlors, and luncheon to the alumnae was served* In the chil dren's refectory. In the evening, beginning at 8 o'clock, the Mount pupils sung the "Mikado," and the tuneful opera was rendered with charming grace and finish, reflect ing the greatest praise on the perform ers. The apostolic delegate Joined with the rest of the audience in compliment ing the girls on, their fine performance. The cast of characters was as> follows: Tho Mikado of Japan Manette Joyce Nanki-Poo Gene Waterhouso Ko-Ko Bess Pomeroy Pooh-Bah Eleanor McCracken Pish-TuHh Sadie O'Bryan Yery-Too Nell Schmidt Tura-Yum Frances McQuaid nttl-Slng Flora Bmboruer Peep-Boo....' Gertrude BccRer K*tlsha Emma Forbes To-day's programme consists of a pontifical requiem mass at 10 o'clock for the repose of the soul of the late Bishop Whelan,""founder of Mt. de Chantal. Archbishop Kaln will be cele brant, assisted by Rev. Joseph Stenger, dcacon, Rev. John McBride, sub-dea con. The attendants to the archbishop will be Rev. Daniel- O'Connor, Y. G., and Rev. Joseph Mullen. Rev. Father McCarthy, the eloquent Jesuit, of New York, will preach a sermon on "Bishop Whelan." This afternoon occurs the annual distribution of premiums. The com mencement exercises take place this evening. There are four graduates, as follows: Miss Gene Water house and Maggie Jepson, of Wheeling; Manette Joyce, of Youngstown, and Lena Dent, of BridKeport. The graduating classes have never exceeded seven members. To-morrow will be "Alumnae Day," bringing the Jubilee to a close. An alumnae organization will be perma nently effected! to-morrow morning, and what promises to be the most enjoya ble feature on? the programme?the alumnae banquet?will be held in the afternoon at 2 o'clock. v JUBILEE NOTES.

In damp and,! changeable weather and when exhaust- ! ed from long standing at the wheel, I , ,would suffer from a weakness and dull! j 'aching across my loins. This was ac- ! companied by a severe urinary weak-; nens, causing me a great deal of incon-1 vonience.
