PROFESSOR'S EXPLANATION.
Wafers in Their Mouths Before They
Knew It.
Landon, April 27.--A Roue despatch
to the Telegranit says that Prof, Fell-

had been administered to them, spat
the sacred wafers on the floor, have
left Rome to escape punishment for sac-
rilege.
Prof. Feilbogen is a man of high char-
acter,
haracter, and he could not have committed
the sacrilege voluntarily. Indeed, he is
deeply grieved at the occurrence. He
was urged by his wife, who was eager to
get a closer view of the Pope, to make
his way nearer to the altar, which he
did, when they found tllenuelves among
the communicants.
The wafers were placed in their
mouths by the Pope before they realized
what was being done, and they were so
taken by surprise they had no time to
reflect upon their action, and immediate.
ly spat them out.
