NO MORE HIGH MASSES.
Only Low Masses Said at St. Ignatius
Church Now.

st. Ignatius church has adopted a now
rule with references to masses, W hich fol-
lows closely on the remodeling of the choir
by which all female singefs we're excluded.
The latter move has been quite success
full, as the novelty of male choir has at
tracted many devotees of other churches.
Formerly high mass was celebrated at
half-past 10. Now there is no high mass
on Sunday except on special feast days.
This has had the effect Of greatly increas-
ing the attendance at last mass, many at
tending it now who did not before on
account OF its len tn.
Hitherto the attendance at the $50 mass
was so large that hundreds were unable to
gain admission and were compelled to
stand on the threshold and even outside of
the church altogether.
Now tie crowd is less at the earlier mass
and more evenly divided with the later one.
The change Is popular, because many
housewives who found it very inconvenlent
and ho had TO hurry uD TO attend earlier
masses can now go to the last one at leis-
ure and still not be deta ned too long.

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER.
LobenguIa's Savage Warriors Moved Down
by British Machine Guns.

CAPETowN, Nov. 3.--King Lobengula is
fyiag northward, and when last reported,
at Fort Charter by the native runners
sent out to the rear in order to open up
communication between the columns in
pursuit and that fort, the fugitive king
was trying to rally his troops. The king
has been located about hundred miles
north of Buluwayo.
King Lobengula seems to have fallen
into a complete trap, Us his further fight
northward towards the Zambe-i river is
blocked and impossible, while the Iset-
sefy country is in his rear and Fort Sails
bury on his right flank. On his left flank
the British columns are advancing, and
thus 1t is expected that the king will be
compelled to surrender within a few days
time.
On Oct. 81, between night and dawn,
the Matabeles, estimated to be 5000
strong, made desperate rush forward
upon the camp, attacking from several
sides at once and in one instance sweeping
by and over an advance picket which had
not been called into the main body. The
Matabeles came forward to the black wall,
showing admirable discipline and the
greatest bravery.
The British commanders allowed King
Lobengula's impis to advance until they
were within easy range of the Martinez
rifles and Maxim guns, when at a prear-
ranged signal a deadly fire was poured
into the Matabeles.
Then, for a few moments there was q
scene witnessed which was peculiarly hor-
rible, from the desperate courage displayed
by the Matabeles and by the display of
terrible, engineering, death dealing skill
made by the machine guns which poured
bullets like water from hose into the
bowling natives, moving them down like
grass. Before such death dealing fire it
was not to be expected that human beings
could make stand, and they broke and
fed, still followed by the leaden rain and
leaving 500 killed and wounded on the
field, in addition TO carrying away with
them hundreds of other who were
wounded, while as many more at least
were able to stagger away in retreat bear
ing more less severe wounds, from
which numbers of them have since died.
Onlytwo of the colonists were killed and
six wounded,

.'Yes, it is, and l cannot understand why

"There are a good many things that wom-

not only this breach of honor which have
to consider" he added in q less resentful

been removed. You have lost sight of
the fact that this affair dooms me to per-
spetual exile, if not to death"
"Yes, forgot that. l understand now
But surely the society will forgive you
everything for having saved Taras."
He shook his head mournfully.
"The society is governed by hard and fast

lighter tone-"one thing that peases me
in this idea is that it would completely
crush the enemy. When Gordon came
back and made his experiences public, there
would be such blaze up in the papers that
the Russian government would not dare to
make any further attempt to llidnap Taras;
Rudersdorf, for permitting himself to be
cheated, would probably be awarded a life
long post at Archangel as n reward for his
services, and Taras would be suffered to
live in peace"
"That is worth great sacrifice" said.

On our way back he said:

the light another mind throws on them"
And as the brougham stopped before the
door he said:

morrow, and you shall know the result"

to carry out his design, and this probably
was the wish he had taken SO much pains
to inspire.

ON FIRE AT SEA.
The Steamer City of Alexandria Destroyed.
Two Lives Lost.

v
HAVANA, Nov. s.-IThe steamship City
of Alexandria, belonging to the New York
and Cuba Mail Steamship company, from
Havana and Matanzas for New York, has
been burned off Cojimar.
Yesterday a small boat, in which were
the second officer and eleven other persons
from the City Of Alexandria, entered the
harbor here and reported the loss of the
steamer. They said that an explosion oc-
CURED on board the steamer, and that
shortly after she was burning fiercely.
The cause of the explosion Is unknown.
The fire gained such Roadway that Cap
tain Hoffman saw it would be impossible
to save the vessel and orders were given
to abandon the ship. The steamer had
400 hogsheads of rum on board, and this,
when it caught fire, caused immense
masses of flame to ascend from the hatch
ways, the matches having been blown Off
There was great excitement among the
crew, but the officers soon succeeded in re-
storing a semblance of order.
The crew and all on board, with the ex-
ception of the purser and stewardess, were
saved. The purser was r. Bowen and the
stewardess Mrs. Carter. The vessel had
no passengers on board.

ERIE, Pa, Oct. 3.-Masked burglars en-

and demanded his money. The burglars,
three in number, beat and choked the old
man brutally. They then poured oil over
him and his bed and prepared to burn
him if he did not deliver his money. While
about to carry out their fiendish intentions
the old mans daughter, Mrs. Carey, who
had been tortured by the burglars in her
room upstairs, jumped from her window
and escaped. This alarmed the bruglars,
and they left.

by three hunters named John and J. X.

opened fire on them MS they were running

but none of the shots took effect The
hunters then explored the cave and found
a full kit of counterfeiters' tools. They
at once returned to Waterford and aroused
the neighborhood and several of the people
started in hot pursuit. For several months
past counterfeit money has been in circu-

There is no clew to the author or authors
