Famous St. Peter's suffered little from the explosion .but It is consider 1 as miraculous that on one was injured by the explosion and panic which followed. Pope Pius upon hearing of the outrages and the evident attempt upon his own life, directed a three-days' service of pray• r celebrated in all the churches In expiation of this offense to religion. The rumor having spread abroad that the Pope intended to visit St. Peter's yesterday, to pray before the tomb where the outrage was comitted, drew an exceptionally large crowd to the baseiIlea. This rumor was unfounded, for only Cardinal Rumpolia entered with the procession. ♦ ROME. Nov. 19.—Rome is In a panic today following an attempt to blow up St. Peter's yesterday, the assassination of Prof. Rossi at Naples and the reported bomb outrage at the Qulrlnal, the royal palace. It is believed that a gang of the most desperate and bloodtnlrsty anarchis{£ in the world are operating in this city. There is not the slightest doubt but what the bomb In St. Peter's was Intended for Pope Plus. It had been erroneously reported that the Pontiff would attend the services In St. Peter's yesterday and accordingly the anarchists arranged for his assassination.LONDON, Nov. 18.—The retirement of Colonel Millard Hunslker as foreign , manager of the Carnegie Steel Com- ; panjr «w markvd by the presentation , The 'phone girl dreads the two busiest hours on Saturday and Monday for the demand on her hands and arm* bring aeh««--~nh, so tlr*d and dreamy. Then, on Saturday from nlno too cloven—next busiest period—all seem eager to, close up the affairs of the dying week. Broken engagements are explained, Sunday grocery and meat orders are given, the milkman gets his. and the hurry preparations for seaside or canyon trip over Sunday are made. But on Mondy the people eager to start on the duties of the new week, reach for the 'phone and get b'usy. The j 'phone girls, at their work, look like i so many prizcllghtcrs in motion. There is scarcely an idle moment for them from nine to eleven. The business inan, on Monday, is telling his associates of conferences in business deals; the housewife Is giving the gro( cer's order; the butcher gets the meat order; the club woman is moved to discuss the details of the next meeting-—everybody is desirous of getting into the business activities of the newborn business week. That's when the laundryman usually also gets his. When do you think we are most talkative? Tht! most talkative period of every day is from nine t«» eleven o'clock. It is "buzz,' buzz, buzz!" over the phone wires. Monday morning at ten o'clock, evevrybody seems t<> have something to say, and the records of the telephone company show that more calls are registered on Monday than any other day of the week, except Saturday, when the people are almost as talkative as on the second day of the week.
