CHRISTMAS
FESTIVAL
OBSERVED WITH CEREMONY IN
CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
At St. Peter's Cathedral a Pontifical
High Mass Was Celebrated at
10.30 0Clock by Rt. Rev. Bishop
Hoban The Sermon Was Preached
by Father Bustln Masses at St.
Patrick's, St. Mary's, St. John's,
Holy Cross, and the Other Churches
of the City.
In all of tho Catholic churches of tlio
city there was a special observance of
Christmas yesterday.
Masses were celebrated at St. Peter's
cathedral at 5, 0, 7, 8, ! and lO.i'.O o'clock,
and at each mass there was it congre
gation which filled the church. The first
was a high muss mid the last 11 pon
tifical high muss. Tlio llrst was cele
brated by flew .1. A. O'ltellly, rector
of tho cathedral, with Uev. llernard
O'Hyrne and Kov. McLaughlin, us
deacon and sub-deaeon, respectively.
Bishop Hoban celebrated I ho '.1 o'clock
mass, which was for children, and
Iff. ltl'.V. H1..IIOI" IIDI1AX.
preached a brief sermon on the signifi
cance of the festival. At the pontifical
high mass. Pdshop Hoban was assisted
by Itnw J. A. O'ltellly, as assistant
priest; llev. Patrick Holmes and Uev.
Father McLaughlin, deacons of honor:
Uev. D. .1. Bustln and Uev. licrnurd
O'Hyine, deacon and sub-deacon of (he
mass, and Uev. J. J. Crlflin, master of
ceremonies.
The sermon was preached by llev.
Father Bustln. Ho explained (lie mean
ing of the three masses prescribed in
Hie liturgy for Christmas, and cele
brated with some variations as to tlio
hour the world over.
These three masses, he explained, aie
significant of the three births of Christ.
Tho first mass, which Is said before
daylight anil usually begins at mid
night In Catholic countries, typifies the
eternal birth from (lie F.tormil Father.
Day Is symbolical of time, and the
mass beginning before the day Is thus
made to symbolize the birth of Christ
before time was.
The second mass, celebrated at dawn,
typifies the incarnation. When Christ
was born at Uethleheni, mankind was
in a haze of disbelief, "lie came unto
His own and His own received Him
not." Before His coming on earth, there
was darkness: at His coming was tlio
dawn, and after His coming, light.
The third mass, which Is celebrated
at midday, is typical of (he birth of
Christ in man's own heart, when there
comes upon him the fullness of light.
Tlio symbolism of the masses is an
adaptation, it was explained, and not
an original creation of the liturglsts.
In the olden lime the llomuii pontiffs
had ;i custom of celebrating three
masses each Christmas day, tlio llrst
at St. John Laterns, the second at St.
Anastiisla's, and the third at the
Cathedral of St. Peter anil Paul. The
pontifical mass being a lengthy cere
mony and the churches being some
what distant each from the other, the
pope was compelled to begin tlio first
mass with the beginning of tlio day
that he might conclude the other be
fore the ending of the ecclesiastical
day, or H o'clock p. 111.
Tlio Cathedral interior was beauti
fully embellished for the Christmas
festival, the auditorium being profusely
draped with greens, and the altars re
splendent In cut (lowers and illumina
tions. At tho left of the sanctuary was
constructed a life-sized reproduction
of the "Stable at Uethloheni." At the
pontifical mass the choir was assisted
by Bauer's orchestra.
St. Patrick's Catholic Church.
Three masses were sung at St. Pat
rick's Catholic church yesterday morn
ing, all of which were attended by large
assemblages. The high mass at fi
o'clock was celebrated by tho pastor,

children's mass was celebrated by
assistant pastor, Uev. John Dunn.
A special choir of children sang at
this service, accompanied by St. Pat
rick's parochial school orchestra. .Mas
ter James McHugh, the boy tenor,
sung the "Ave Marie" very effectively.
Tho high mass at 10 o'clock was cel
ebrated by Assistant Pastor Uev, P.
K. Lavnlle, who also preached an ap
propriate sermon on tho birth of
Christ. The choir, under the direction
of the church organist. Miss Johnson,
rendered a special programme of mu
sic, which was of a high order.

Major V. W. Illglls, ordinance oin
cer of the Third Brigade, is a young
man who lias been forging rapidly to
the front in the coal world. When a
mere boy lie entered the office of Cap
tain W. A. May. then superintendent
of the Hillside Coal and Iron company.
He gave his best services to the com
pany, was diligent and faithful at all
times and his services did not lack ap
preciation. When the great combina
tions occurred In the coal world a year
ago and Captain May became the head
of (he Hrie's coal mining interests
hereabouts lie made Major Inglis su
perintendent of the Hillside company,
a position he is lllling in a way that
demonstrates that Captain May knows
how to pick out the right men in (he
right place.
Major Inglis has been connected with
the national guard for a number of
years and served in tlio volunteer army
during the Spanish American war. He
was attached to the staff of General
fiobin, the commander of the Third
Brigade and is now the ordinance olll
cer of thai part of the state guard.
The next president of tlio Board of
Trade will be A. W. Dickson, a man
long identified with it and its presi
dent and vice-president. Though .Mr.
Dickson is not a native of Scranton ho
has been hero so long and has been so
earnest and zealous for the best in
terest of (lie city that one feels that
he is of the manor born, Mr. Dickson
was bom in Philadelphia February 7.
1843. When u boy his parents moved
to Honesdale and he remained there
except at such times as he was away
at school until lsor., when he came to
Scranton as an employe of K. W. AVes
ton, then conducting the milling busi
ness which subsequently became the
property of the Weston Mill company,
and which within n year has been sup
planted by the Dickson Mill and drain
company of which Mr. Dickson is tlio
head.
Mr. Dickson entered the mill us clerk,
but gradually forged ahead until 1870.
when Im was made manager, which
ofllee he retained until the Weston
company wont out of existence. Dur
ing these years Mr. Dickson has made
himself felt In tho business world and
as a man of affairs who does his own
thinking and Is not afraid to express
his vlows on public questions oven If
they are nt (ho (line ones not gener
ally approved of,
In lS"."i he became u member of the
board of trade and for twenty-one
years was Its treasurer. Ho served
on all of Its Important committees and
ns chairman of tho legislative commtt
teo sot on foot movements Unit huvo
resulted In reforms In city and state
laws, Ho has always favored a broad
and aggressive policy for tho board: a
policy that would niuko tho advantages
of Scranton ns n manufacturing cen
tre known tho country over and accord
fair treatment to every Investor who
desires to make his business homo with
us.
Not ulono on the Board of Trade has
he given his services in tho commun
ity. Ho was for live years n member
of the board of school control, lining
the important positions of chairman of
the teachers' commltton andpresldentof
tho board. This was ut the time whoa
the schools wero in a process of evolu
lion necessary to fit them to the needs
of a rapidly growing city when enter
prise and a desire to build for the future
wero not appreciated as they should
have been even by many clil.uus of the
city who did not view with too kindly
un eyu the construction uf a big mod
ern school building and the Introduc
tion of new and better methods of con
ducting our publlu schools. Under Mr.
Dickson's guidance tho board will lose
notio of the prestige It has gained by
Its years of labor for the good of the
city,

OBSERVANCE OP
CHRISTMAS DAY
Nothing to Make the Holiday Re
markableCaring for Poor nnd
Other Unfortuntes.
Yesterday had nothing In particular
to make il remarkable as a Christmas
day. The usual observances obtained
without features Unit wero especially
novel, and the weal hot wits it compro
mise between good and bail, being fairly
wluterlsh overhead, with just a slghl of
snow, and disagreeable under foot by
reason or the thaw,
One thing by which the day might bo
tnailo to stuud out from those Immedi
ately preceding It was the crowded con
dition of the central clly streets. For
two months, by reason of Ihe street car
strike, tho central city has been some
what deserted. Kven the usual shop
ping crowds of the few days liefoio
Christinas wero not very much in evi
dence. Yesterday, however, there was
a. continuous throng from early morn
till late at night, on the principal thor
oughfares. As early as -l.nrt o'clock these streets
had their crowds. They were composed
mainly of the pious people, who would
begin Ihe day aright by attending
church. The r o'clock- mass at tho
cathedral was attended by fully -',000
persons, while at ! o'clock St. Peter's
and St. Luke's had congregations that
filled their vast auditoriums. Until 1 p.
in., when the ponttllcal muss at the
cathedral was concluded, tho stream of
church-goers was constant.
In Ihe afternoon, the theatre-goers
swelled the usual holiday afternoon
crowds, and while daylight lasted the
sidewalks, in consequence, bore a circus
day appearance. In the evening the
crowds wero not much smaller. As iff
Invariably the case, all throe theatres
were filled to overflowing at each per
formance. If there was anybody lacking tho sub
stantial that go to make possible a
merry Christmas, it is no fault of
Serunlon's" charity or thoughtfulness.
The Associated Charities, the church
societies and scores of individuals
spared no effort to hunt out deserving
poor and supply them with a Christmas
pot. The Associated Charities gave out
a list of sixty families to be cared for
by organizations and individuals who
wanted to supply Christmas dinners.
At the county Jail, the 110 prisoners
each received a bountiful allowance of
oyster soup, roast turkey, cranberry
sauce, sweet potatoes, pie, bread, cof
fee and oranjres. The Christmas tree
was gaily illuminated last evening, and
at 7 o'clock the prisoners were all al
lowed to come out of their cells and
view it. F.ueh of (he men was presented
with a quarter of a pound of tobacco,
and the women with a bug of candy.
Sheriff Schadt save Warden Simpson
carte blanche In giving the poor unfor
tunates a "Merry Christmas," and the
warden never carried out an order with
greater gratification.
The hospitals each had a Christmas
tree, and at tho Lackawanna, there was
ii special tree for the children. All the
charity patients received presents from
the good-hearted men and women who
make it one of their works to look after
the comfort or those unfortunates.
On Industrial and business lines, the
holiday was strictly observed. 'All the
mines mills, factories and the like were
shut down, and the hotels, restaurants,
tow candy and drug stores were about
the only business places to keep open.
$500 REWARD.
Pursuant to a joint resolution of
city councils, a reward of $500 is
hereby offered for information that
will lead to the arrest and convic
tion of nny person or persons found
placing dynamite or other ex
plosives on nny street or highway
in the city of Scranton.
