SYMBOLISM OF TENEBRAE.
The omce of the Tenebrae, which means
"darkness," Is so-called because It sym
bolizes, by the gradual datkenlng of tho
church, the" more thAn natural darkness
that overshadowed the world at tho death
of Christ It Is the preparation which
the Church. Kites to Us communicants that
they may assist with proper dispositions
at the sacred function whtoh are to
tnko place on the following days!
Tomorrow will be Hung the Tenebrae
of Holy Thursday; on Thursday will bo
sung the Office of Good Friday; on
Friday will bo sung the preparation for
the Omce and Mass of Easter Eve. In
tho earlier ages of the Church these Of
fices were begun at midnight. They are
now hold at an earlier hour that more
may attend.
Few ceremonies of the Church nro more
solemn than the "Tenebrae." Signs of
mourning are everywhere lslble. The
sanctuary appears to be deserted and un
furnished The tabernacle stands open,
for tRe Blessed Sacrament has been re
moved. The veil of tho tabernacle, flowers
and all other adornments not essential are
gone. Nothing rcmnlns on the altar Bave
a veiled crucifix and six candles. In tho
centre of tho sanctuary stands tho book
of Psalms and Lessons. At tho Epistle,
or right, side. Btands a largo triangular
candlestick, holding IB candles of un
bleached wax.
Tho service consists of matins and
lauds, nnd Is a portion of the Divine ON
flee which etery priest of, the Church Is
bound to say each day, Tho lack of adorn
ment on tho altar and In the sanctuary Is
carrlod by the Church Into her service of
prayer, and nothing Is left In tho office
save what Is essential to It, the Psalms
and Lessons. Tho vcrslcles nnd hymns,
tho Invocations and responses which nro
used at other times and form the drapery
and adornment with which the Piuilnii
and Lessons aro clothed, arc omitted.
Tho Matins consist of threo parts,
called Nocturns, or night ofllces. Each
Nocturn Is composed of three Psalms and
three Lessons. Tho Lauds consist of flo
Psalms, followed by the Canticle of Zadh
ary (Benedlctus), and tho whole OIIlco
Is closed with the EOth Psalm (Mlsercro)
and a Collect
TYPIFY PASSION OF CHRIST
Tho Tenebrae sorvlco for Holy Thurs
day In tho Psalms and Lessons brings
before tho congregation. In a most Im
pressive manner, the Passion of our Sav
iour, and In an especial way, tho treach
ery of Judas. In tho third Nocturn tho
Lessons relate St. Paul's nccount of the
institution of tho Holy Eucharist.
Tho ceremonies of this servlco nro rich
In symbolism and meaning. At the ond
of each Psalm ono of tho candles In tho
triangular candlestick Is extinguished un
til, as tho Offlco proceeds, ono only Is loft
alight Tho extinguishing of tho candles
shows how the disciples, ono by one, for
sook their Master and slunk away. Tho
one candle that remains alight represents
Christ, forsaken and alone.
During tho Cantlclo of Zachary (Bene
dlctus) tho six candles on the altar nro
extinguished, and tho lights In the church
aro gradually lowered. Tho Impressive
and solemn growing gloom symbolizes
tho noonday darkness that covered the
earth at tho death of Its Creator.
At the end of tho Benedlctus tho single
lighted cnndle Is hidden behind tho altar,
and, In the dimness, which symbolizes tho
gloom on earth after tho death of Christ,
tho Miserere is solemnly chanted.
A Collect Is then said In a low voice
by tho senior priest present and a con
fused noise is mnde, to express the con
vulsions of nature at the death of our
Redeemer, when tho earth quaked, the
rocks split and the graves gave up their
dead.'
-(.Following this tho lighted candle Is
brought from behind the altar, to repre
sent the glorious rising of Christ, Immor
tal from the tomb, after Ills death and
burial. Tho Office Is then ended and all
depart In silence.
Tomorrow will be ,Maundy Thursday,
and will bo celebrated as the anniver
sary of the Institution of tho Holy
Eucharist. The most striking featuro of
the service on mat day win be the sol.
smn procession In Catholic churches from
tho nigh Altar to tho Altar of Repose.

GOODYEAR Cord Tires ride
with utmost comfort.
Their great oversize com
bines the added cushion
of an increased air-volume
with the natural liveliness of Good-
year cord construction.
They are protected from stone
bruise and blow-out because they
are built of flexible cords without
cross-weave, so that they yield to
impact with road obstructions.
Goodyear Cord users find these
advantages, and the long mileage
due to the character of the tire, worth
far more than the difference in price

SCHILLER CONFESSES;
SENTENCED FOR LIFE
Pirate Says He Could Have
Killed All on Brit
ish Ship
WILMINGTON, Del., April 19. With
out showing the slightest emotion, Ernest
Schiller, alias Clarence Reginald Hudson,
the German pirate who slngle-hnnded took
charge of tho British steamship Matoppo
and compelled the crew to run her Info
Lowes, stood In the Federal Court yester
day afternoon nnd received a sentence of
Imprisonment for llfo, after pleading guilty
to a charge of piracy. Schiller loft for
Atlanta tonight In custody of Marshal
Farry nnd a deputy.
Schiller said:
"I want my friends to know there wai
no motive of robbery, when I captured
this steamship. It was for tho cnuse of
Germany nnd in revenge against England
I wanted to Www them up I could prove
through my friends in New York that It
was my aim to blow tip tho ship, but no
body helped me, becauso they were du
bious of me and my plan I think they
may have believed I was an English spy
So gltlng up hope of receiving nld, 1
took the work on my own shoulders nnd
spent my last cent doing so. I nlso want
to say that I have been well trentcd In
America, I nm highly satisfied that I am
not being sent back to England
"1 also want It understood In the strict
senso that I am no pirate. A pirate Is
a kind of bandit who would not stop nt
murder. Tho main reason why my plnn
to sink tho Matoppo, failed was because
I did not want to kill anybody When I
first took charge of the ship It was so
Tough that It would have been murder to
navo mauc tno crew get out in smaii
boats, n's I had nt first Intended them to
do And after tho roughness I like to my
that Cnptaln Bcrgner, could have hnd
charge of the ship If he had his wits about
him. I was In a pitiable condition and
hardly knew what to do I felt that tho
plan had failed nnd so I tried to get back
to tho United States, thinking that I could
tell friends In Now York, what I had
done."

ELECTRICITY
.Masters the Mountain Barriers
One of the most stupendous problems of western railroad
ing has been the mountains. To lift the tremendous, ton
nage of the transcontinental trains over the mile-in-air
crests of the continent is a herculean task under the most
favorable conditions. And when snow fills the passes and
cold beleaguers the fire boxes of the steam Iocomoji7e?the
difficulties of mountain operation become well-rifgh in
superable. I B
Remarkable, therefore, was the recent record of qrfe of tiffhe
St. Paul's" new Electric Locomotives pullingjne all-steel
"Olympian" over the Rockies -ypceivincr the train at
Deer Lodge, Montana, torty-pve :
traverse the mile-high okss 4i th

115 miles, and arrived! at Three

This astounding record shows that the Electric Locomotive has
proved itself "Master of the Mountain Barriers." Fed with the
tremendous energy of the maintain streams making an ally of
the cold weather, which aidsn keeping the motors cool it pene
trates the snow drifts .withcomparative ease hauls heavier loads
with greater dispatch, atra with a pronounced saving in cost, and
makes mountain travel clean and mountain views clear.
