READ HIS FIRST MASS.
REV. H. L. M'MENAMIN OFFICIATES
AT ST. ANN'S CHURCH.
Nawljr-Ordilned Priest Performs One of
the Most Important Duties of His Vo
cation for the First Time Yesterday.
Impressive Sermon by Father Falllhee.
At 10.30 o'clock yesterday morning
Rev. Hugh L. McMenamin read his
first mass in St. Ann's church. lie was
ordained last week in Baltimore, Md.,
by Cardinal Gibbons, and arrived at his
parents' homo in the Second ward on
Wednesday evening.
Father McMenamin has been a life
long resident of St. Ann's parish, and
an unusually largo number of the con
gregation assembled at the late mass
yesterday to honor the young priest by
assisting at his first exercise of the holy
office and to receive his blessing.
The solemn and impressive ceremony
of a high mass, than which thero is
nothing in the whole liturgy of tho
Catholic Church more sacred, was read
by Father McMenamin with the strict
uniformity that characterizes the mass
throughout the world. It is ono of tho
distinctive marks of the universality of
the Catholic Church that in all ages and
in all countries, from the frozen peaks
of the north to tho torrid sands of tho
south, the holy sacrifice of tho mass is,
as it has always boon, one and tho same
It is not permitted to the individual
clergyman to change or alter one lota
of Its ceremonies.
In tills respect Father McMenamin's
first mass was ,not different from tho
rogular high mass In St. Ann's church
every Sunday, and so well did the
young clergyman bear himsolf through
the difficult service that a stranger In
tho church would be unable to tell
whether the priest at the altar was per
forming the holy sacrifice for the first
time or celebrating the mass of his sil
ver jubilee.
The solemn ceremony, ever Impres
sive, always soothing, epitomizing tho
life of Christ on earth and renewing tho
sacrifice of the cross, was made more
solemn, If possible, by the extreme fervor
of tho celebrant and the pious assistance
of the vast assemblage, which filled tho
church to the doors. Fathor McMena
min sang the different parts of the mass
In a strong resonant voice. His move
ments wore characterized by calmnoss
and deliberation, and his bearing
throughout tho mass was Indicative of
exceptional piety.
Outside of a slight tremor In his voice
and a barely-noticeable slownoss In his
carriage, there was nothing to mark
Father McMenamin as a newly-ordained
priest. But thero was much to mark
him as a pious, learned and able young
man, whoso place among God's workers
will undoubtedly be one of Immeasur
able usefulness.
Father McMenamin was assisted at
the mass by Rev. William O'Donnell, of
Scranton, as deacon. Rev. John J.
O'Donnell, of Wllkesbarro, a cousin of
the cclobrant and a fellow theological
student, who will be ordained priest
next month, acted as sub-deacon. Ed
ward J. Gaffney, of Freoland, was
master of ceremonies, while Frank P.
O'Donnell, of Drifton. acted as thurifer,
and Patrick J. Gallagher, of Freeland,
and James Cunningham, of Jeddo, as
acolytes.
Rev. M. J. Falllhee, pastor of St.
Ann's church, preached tho sermon.
Father Fallihee's oratory, better known
for doctrinal soundness and fatherly
wisdom than for rhetorical polish, was
laden with much feeling as he referred
to the young priest and tho difficult work
upon which ho Is about tn enter.
"The priest's llfo," the speaker said,
"is beset with trials and temptations.
This young priest was born In tho parish
and we claim him as our own. He is all
our own, and we must pray for him, as
wo know that he will pray for us." Fathor
Fallihee's remarks were well adapted to
thn occasion, and the affectionate man
ner In which they wero dellvorod inade
a telling Impression on the large congre
gation.
Tho choir sang the mass In excellent
form. Mr. Moerschbacher rendered the
"O Salutarls." Ills rich bass voice re
sounded throughout tho church, and
added Repressiveness to the ceremony.
After mass Father McMenamin gavo
his blessing te the people.
Last evening 'at 7 o'clock he gaye
benediction of the Blessed Sacrement.
Next Sunday Father McMenamin will
deliver the sermon at the 10.30 o'clock
mass at St. Ann's church.
Fathor McMenamin's entry Into the
Catholic priesthood is tho happy con
summation of his youthful dosires. Ho
Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Mc-
Menamin, and was horn In South
Hoberton on September 11, 1871. Ho
attended tho public schools In Foster
township for a few years, and later
worked somo time at Highland No. 1
colliery. At the age of 111 he entered
Blootnsburg normal school, and studied
there one term-
Afterwards, determining te study for
the Church, ho wont te St. Charles' col
loge, Elltoott City, Md., an Institution
devoted exclusively te eduoatlng young
men for the priesthood, and remained
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1900.
thero three years. At the expiration of
this period his health was somewhat im
paired, and it became necessary for
him to seek a change of climate. He
then went to Sacred Heart collego, Den
ver, Colorado, and spent three years
there, finishing his classical course with
high honors.
Father McMenamin pursued his theo
logical course during ono yoar at the
Grand seminary, Montreal, Canada, and
for the last two years In St. Mary's
seminary, Baltimore.
He has been adopted by Bishop Matz,
of the diocose of Denvor, Colorado.
After a short vacation and a much-need
ed rest from his recent arduous labors
in tho final preparations for his ordina
tion, he will go west to take up his
priestly work.
Father McMonamin's elevation te tho
sublime dignity of the priesthood is a
matter of groat consolation to his
parents, and is also a source of gratifi
cation to his numorous friends and ac
quaintances.
When Father McMenamin goes west,
tho diocose of Denver will be enriched
by one more learned and pious priest.
The noble bearing that is characteristic
of tho true clorgyman and tho stately
demeanor of tho divine vocation, fit
themselves to Father McMenamin's per
sonality with a charm that is irresist
ible. Tho poople of St. Ann's church
rejoice in sending among their brethren
of the west a young man who will do
honor to tho parish and bring glory to
tho divine work in which ho has electod
to spend his life.

FIRED ON STRIKERS.
Breaker Guards Shot Two Miners at the
Fernwood Colliery.
The striking miners of the Fernwood
colliery were led into an alleged riot
Friday morning, at Yatesville, near
Wilkesbarre, In which over a hundred
shots were fired. Two of the strikers
were shot. It is claimed they attacked
ono of the non-union men, and, tho
armed watchmen at the breaker coming
to his assistance, a brief but stubborn
battle took place. Tho watchmen,
armed with rifles, stood at the top of an
Incllno and firod at the strikors.
Thero has been trouble at the mine
for some weeks past, growing from the
efforts of the strikors to persuade tho
nun-union men from going to work.
They have gathered nearly every morn
ing along the roads leading to inlnos
and have porsuaded sevoral moil Into
quitting work.
Tlio company has been endeavoring to
operato tbe mine with what fow men It
could get and lias been obliged to keep
pump runners and firemen at work to
provent the mine being flooded. It is
these two classes of workmen that the
strikers aro anxious to prevent working,
and their loss would cause groat damage
to the company.
Friday morning about fifty of them as
sembled at a point near tho breaker to
provent William Ifolleran, the head
pump runner, from going to work.
Whon Ilolloran appearod ho was sur
rounded. Thoy asked him not to go to
work. He tried to push through the
crowd, but was held. Then ho started
toward* his home, but as soon as he was
clear of tho strikors ho tnrnod and
dashed for tho breaker. They followed
shouting. Hollcran tired at thorn but
hit no one, and tbon the guards at the
mino, hearing tho shooting, scramblod
down the culm banks to protoct him.
The guards had rifles and a volley of
ten shots stopped some of tho leaders of
the crowd.
Tho rifles brought down two of tho
strikers In the front rank—Joseph C.
I'azzillo, who was knocked sensoless by
a ball which grazod his head, and Joseph
Santo, who fell with a bullet through
his log. Others were frightened Into
running away, one with a hole In his hat
and another through his sleeve.
The fall of tho two men and the re
treat of some of tho others resoltod in
the strikers drawing olt after tho fusil
lade bad lasted a few minutes, and the
watchmen then withdrew to tho breaker,
while tho officials at once put extra men
on guard and notified Shorlflf Harvey of
the attack. Tho sheriff sent several
deputies to tho sccno.
Twonty-two warrants wore Issued for
the strikers and thoso will be sorved by
Sheriff Harvey.
Joseph Santo, ono of tho strikers who
was shot, had William Ilolloran arrested
Friday night on the charge of shooting
with Intent to kill. Santo claims Hollcran
Is the man who shot him. There was
no hoarlng, as Santo could not leave tho
hospital. Hollcran gave hull.
