The Town of Trues.
The number of pilgrims who will visit
Troves will mount to the hundreds of thou-
sands. The preparations made for the re-
ception of vlsitors are something startling.
The railroad authorities have had throe new
tempotary statione erected, with spacious
waiting and refreshment rooms, The local
tramway companies have laid down two
1101V sets of rails. As many as 1,300 citizens
have petitioned the Town Counoil for
licenses to set 1193 temporary beer saloons
and public houses for the eccommodation of
the pilgrims during the period of the exhi-
bition of the sacred garment. Special ar-
rangements have been made to take tour-
ists from England to Troves, and many pil-
grims have gone across the Atlentiethither.
As in the year 1844, the exhibition may be
expected to induce avast amount of contro-
versial litera.,ure, touching the authenticity
of the sacred relic. In that year the dis-
turbances mused by the exhibition became
so serious ita to assume a political hue and
brought about the interference of the
Prussian Government. Even /1011, the op -
peewits of the authenticity havebeen heard.
The first was a sub-eclitor of a Silesian news-
paper, who WM condemned to fourteen
days' unpritsonment on account of some dis-
respectful remark he had published in refer-
ence to the holy garment.
Whatoveryeople nmy say %boa the relic
itself, there is no doubt of the age of Treves.
