Reiiiy's Ordination The Pro-
gramme for the Occasion.
The last rehearsal for the choral ssr.
Woe In preparation for Sunday, com.
menorstive Of Father Rsilly's golden
jubilee will be given on Friday by
Professor Beoher. The singers are
picked from the choirs OF 81. Paul's, 81.
Mary's and st. Peters Churches. A
representative Of RvKRY EVENING called
on Father Reilly last eusning and found
him In excellent spirits, chatting brightly
and pleasantly, his remarks indicating
no failure or halt In concise expression OF
repsrtee. He bears his years exceedingly
we'll and with the exception OF rheumatic
troubles, is as hale and hearty as many
younger men. He had no idea what
his friends were doing for Sunday
next, only that he expected
to see some of the old faces he
knew SO we'll two score OF years
back aud he anticipated great pleasure
In seeing his old students again. The
general programme for Sunday Ia with
held for the present for fear It may leak
out and the matter get TO the ears OF the
intended recipient.
Pontifioial mass will be celebrated at IL
O'Clock by Bishop Becker, who will also
preach the commemorative sermon,
Mozsrt's Twelfth Mass being the selection
for the day. There will be large repre-
septation Of priests from the Peninsula
and Philadelphia. Archbishop Corrigan,
co-adjutor to Cardinal MoCloskey, was
invited to attend, but other engagements
prevented him. Father Reilly and the
cardinal were fellow students at st.
Msry's, Bmmittsburg, over so years ago,
and many q time, there being no Pullman
cars in those times, the two sohoolmates
had to foot 1t all the way to Baltimore.
The cardinal and his oo.adjutor sent
their perst nal congratulations to Father
Reilly.
Father Reilly ia OF q quiet, retiring
disposition, and has hardly been since
his ordination 100 miles from Whining.
ton. Many OF his students, to use bis
own illustration, have seen more Of the
world in five years than all his expe-
rienoe could give. There was q time
when the whole Peninsula was his
parish. He was founder OF St. Mary's
College, on Delaware avenue; also its
president, and, until it's demolition its
most active preceptor. In 1858 he built
St. Msry's Church, becoming its pastor
at that time, and has been Its pastor ever
since, term just one year over a quar-
ter Of q century. He oficistes every
Sunday just as he did 40 years ago. He
has q very large congregation, the church
being crowded at each service.
Father Reilly was born in the County
Cavan, Ireland, and came here with his
father at the age Of Ia. Father Sourin,
g.. j., ofLoyola College, Baltimore, another
schcolmate Of Father Reilly, who oele.
brsted the fiitieth anniversary Of his
ordination three years ago, will probably
be present next Sunday.

PRESTON, Aug. 16.-Joseph Adams,
