sumed. Only one key to the Are alarm
box was in the neighborhood. This was

SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Probability That the Construction of , the
Sewer Will Have to Be Postponed on
' Account of the Decision of Coart.
An ordinance has been prepared for
passage through councils providing for
the repeal of the ordinance which cre
ated the Seventeenth Sewer , district,
which comprises the Eleventh, Twelfth,
Nineteenth and Twentieth wards. The
court decided that only land abutting
on the lines of the proposed sewer can
be assessed for building It. In the esti
mated cost of the sewer the pro rata
assessment was computed from the
entire territory embraced In the dis
trict. Several acres of farm land owned by
the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com
pany were assessed, but the sewer
would not drain any of this land and
the court ruled that the company could
not be expected to pay for an Improve
ment from which It would not derive
nny benefit. The people of the South
Side want a sewer and desire It without
delay, and the quicker tho counollmen
accede to the wishes of their constitu
ents by adopting measures to replace
the one to be repealed, the more popu
lar they will find themselves.

New Orleans. Dec. 8. On the com
plaint of many residents and property
holders, the council committee yester
day adopted an ordinance prohibiting
all wakes over the dead bodies of ne
groes except under special permission of
the council. The chief of police was
Instructed to break up all unlicensed
wakes.
Negro wakes have become so popular
of late years that It has become cus
tomary to charge admission to them.
This was so profitable that a hall In the
vicinity of Liberty and Lafayette
streets was hired for wakes, and negro
liodies were -actualy purchased from
their families and put "on wake" there.
There are several competitors in tne
wake business. The complaint Is made
that Is Is prejudicial to good health..

Solemn High Mass Cele

The feast of the Immaculate Concep

high mass at 10.80. Rev. D. J. MacGold
rlck, 8. J., president of St. Thomas' col
lege, was - celebrant; Rev. Kenneth
Campbell was deacon; Rev. Thomas V.
Carmody was sub-deacon, and Rev. J.
J. B. Feeley, master of ceremonies.
Father Feeley preached the sermon on
the feast and paid a noble tribute to
the mother of God.
At 7.30 in the evening the annual re
ception of the Blessed Virgin sodality
was held, and about ninety postulants
were received. Rev. F. P. McNally. ot
the West Side, preached the sermon,
and after the reception solemn benedic
tion was Imparted by Rt. Rev. Bishop
O'Hara. with Father Carmody as dea
con and Rev. James McAndrews, sub
deacon. During the reception the members of
the Blessed Virgin's and Angels' sodal
ities sang hymns. The postulants were
received by the bishop and then were
presented with medals. The priests
who were present, besides the bl.hop,
were: Rev. J. A. O'Reilly, Rev. J. A.
McHugh, Rev. M. J. Millane, Rev. J. J.
B. Feeley, Rev. Thomas F. Carmody,
of the cathedral: Rev. J. A. MoiHti,
South Side; Rev. J. I. Dunn, Green
Ridge; Rev. James McAndrew, and tne
speaker, Rev. Father McNally.
Sermon lv Fnthcr McNr.ltv.
His text was from the canticle of the
Blessed Virgin, "My sout doth magnify
the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced
in God my Savior. From henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed."
He said that the name of Mary lives
on the lips of him who would call upon
the namb of Jesus. Mother and eon,
who can separate them? It Is against
nature and the infallible teachings of
the ohurch. She nursed him, watohed
his Infant footsteps, and when he left
her they were not separated. She was
his mother; throughout their lives they
were inseparable and even In death
they were not parted.
From the prophet Isalas tho promise
was handed down that the eeed of the
woman would crush the head of the
serpent We cannot honor and love
our blessed Redeemer unless we honor
her who bore Him. The history of the
life of Mary la written In the only vol
ume worthy to contain tho record, In
her heart. - Temples are erected and
dedicated in her honor, and days are
set aside to profit by following the part
that Mary chose.
The three things the world lives for
are notoriety, wealth and comfort. In
contradiction to all this Mary chose
obscurity, poverty, suffering, as the
dove that builds her nest In the clefts
of a rock.
Asked to Imitate Mary.
The speaker urged the sodallst? as
daughters of Mary to make her their
guiding star. There Is something of
that mother heart throughout her life,
something Intense and awful. As soon
as she looked upon the white brow of her
child, she could see the crown of thorns
pressing there. '' .
Mary Is honored because first, she Is
the mother of God. There are sacrl
llglous persons who charge Catholics
with deifying Mary. Father McNally
said that not long ago a Protestant
bishop declared that the Roman
Catholic offers supreme Homage to
Mary. This man Is pious, but he is
either Ignorant or malicious. The
Catholic does not deify Mary, said the
speaker; she Is not placed on the
throne beside God eternal, but venera
tion and respect Is given to her as the
mother of God. The speaker advised
Protestants who arrogate to Judge the
dogmas of the Catholic church with
reference to the veneration of Mary,
that they first come to the fountain of
truth and learn what manner of hom
age the Catholic pays to her.
The Holy. Father tells that Catholics
should give to Mary the best that can
be offered after God has- been adored.
She la the model of maidenhood, wife
hood and motherhood.
Exhortation to tha Newcomers.
In conclusion the speaker exhorted
the young ladles who were about to en
ter the sodality to be devoted to Mary,
to Imitate her, and pour forth suppli
cations to her, and she will not be out
done In generosity. Offer to her the
best, with an open hand and a free
heart. ; .
Follow closely,- said he, the foot
steps of Mary 'and they will lead you
to Jesus and to heaven.

Starvation
is daily the cause of death on
every side, not from inability to
get food, but from the impossi
bility, caused by disease to assim
ilate it. Everyone has marked
the continual losing of flesh
and daily wasting away of some
beloved friend. Call the disease
waat name you will, the fact
remains that the ultimate end
has been due to starvation.
Don't wait too long, give the
sufferer
Bovinine
It is not a medicine, but a food
product, a powerful concentra
tion into small bulk of the vital
elements of lean beef, every bit
of the nutritive qualities of which
have been retained, on account
of the special cold process by
which it is prepared. It creates
new red blood corpuscles, in
creases weight, builds flesh and
nerve tissue, and strengthening
the life-maintaining organs of
the body, enables them to per
form their functions naturally
and throw off disease ask
your doctor, he will tell you thia
is so.
