A Year of Jubilee

A Year of "Jubilee."—London, May 7. A special despatch from Rome announces that the pope signed a bull proclaiming a sacred year of universal jubilee, beginning December 25 next. His holiness accords plenary indulgence to pilgrims to Rome and other recognized shrines of the church throughout the world during 1900.—Cable despatch in Examiner. But if the annunciation of the "jubilee" turns out like many of the pope's blessings, it will be anything but a sacred year; it will be jubilation for the powers of darkness.
