est day in the year, with the exception of Christmas What he does today is mat ter of interest to both the people of his own faith and to those of other creeds.
 Archbishop Corrigan will be the cele- brant of the high pontifical mass in the cathedral at Il o'clock today. Long be- fore the day breaks he will be up and will spend the time from 4:30 to 1O:30 in pri- vate devotion. As the celebrant of the late mass he will not break his fast from the time of rising until the services are over. which will be after l o'clock in the afternoon.
 There will be earlier masses in the church at a. m., ', 8 and o'clock and these will be celebrated by the different priests connected with the cathedral. The great mass of the day-the one for which preparations have been making for weeks past, Is the one at Il o'clock.
 The Pontiflcal vestments.
 It is 10:30 o'clock when the archbishop leaves his palace at the corner of Madi- son avenue and Fifteth street by the private entrance leading into the sac risty of the cathedral In the sacristy are kept the pontifical robes, worn only in rare church ceremonialS. These are placed upon the archbishop with great formality by the attendant priests. They are never allowed outside of the church, even, in the archbishops palace, a few yards from the church.
 H is vestments are in part of white and gold and of red and purple, and the stole of intricate workmanship encircles his neck.e His mitre is on his head, and when the signal is given to enter the church his long train is caught up by six altar boys, clad entirely in white.
 The attendant priests lead the way and with the choir boys in black, purple and red cassocks and white surplices, form an imposing spectacle. A great golden cross is carried in the center of the group.
 Solemnity of ahe Mass.
 One of the most solemn features of the mass is that of the elevation of the cha lice. The melodious pealing of the small altars bells warn the congregation of the event. and two of the attendant priests hand a glass of wine, diluted with water to the archbishop, who sips it slowly. The wine represents the blood and body of Christ and at that particular time of the ceremony an apparition of the Lord of hosts is supposed to appear upon the altar
 When the rich, sonorous voice of the archbishop has completed the last words of the mass he mounts his throne with the crozer in his left hand and, while the whole congregation and the priests kneel he gives the papal benediction.
 With that the public participation in the celebration of the day on the part of the archbishop is over, and he retires to his residence. Pontifical vespers at p.

 Thousands of them visit the church on the latter day, and they also come from Jersey and Brooklyn and the suburbs. Many of them spend only short time in the church. They look at the brilliantly decorated altar.at the great windows of stained glass .and drink in the sublime melody of the ponderous organ, and then walk out among the graves of the old New Workers who have slept peacefully for century and a half or two centuries while the huge city thundered on about them.
 Only the Lily Used.
 From time almost immemorial the Easter decorations of Trinity have con- sisted only of the lily. More than 10000 of the beautiful buds and blossoms will almost smother the spacious altar in their tender embrace.
 With one exception the corporation of Trinity church is the richest in the country, and it has among its congrega- tion the wealthiest families in the city It is an insignia of social eminence to be enrolled upon the books of Trinity, and nearly all the families boasting of Knickerbocker ancestry are included in it's lists Ten thousand dollars would not cover the expenses on Easter of Trin- small affair for a church credited with being worth $80,000.000 and with an in- come of almost $4.000,000.

 Mvriads of tall wax candles will shim- mer and gleam amid the forest of flowers and light up the graceful lines of the dainty Easter lily.
 Thirty Thousand Worshippers.
 More than 10000 persons will pass in and out of the edifice while the ponti- fical high mass is being celebrated, and nearly the same number will again visit the church during pontihcai ves-

 This Canadian question is the greatest one of the day in the Catholic church. and it will be discussed in many different ways in the archbishop's house this af- ternoon.
 It will be day of serious import to the archbishop, and when he retires for the night at 10 o'clock considerable work will have been accomplished.

 The sanctuary of St. Francis is a mag nificent example of the art of interior architecture.

TO HARNESS THE sHEEPscoT.
The Company Will Develop Its Mammoth
Water Power at Once.
Especial to the PRESS.)

Wiscasset, May 7.-One of the pieces
of special legislation enacted by the
last legislature seems to be bearing
fruit. The Maine Water and Electric
Power Company was chartered for the
purpose of acquiring the rights to water
powers along the Sheepsoot river.
Mr.. VIM. Doe, MIC. P. Collins and Mr..
j. H. Link of Pennsylvania were the
prime movers in the enterprise. Asso-
ciatsd with them are Mr.. Henry Ingalls,
are the gentlemen named as corporators
in the,act. The plan is to acquire the
water powers between Cooper's Mills and
Wiscasset, which has been estimated to
afford a horse power equal to that at
Lewiston and Auburn. These powers
the company proposes to improve by the
canals, ETC. Then they hope to induce
manufacturers to locate along the river
and use the power. The Wiscasset &
Quebec railroad makes the region readi-
" aocesssi BILE. Before the act was passed
by the legislature, Mr.. Doe had bonded
good deal of the property bordering
on the water powers, and is now in the
state carrying ont his plans. 1t is the
present intention to organize the compa-
ny within month, the Pennsylvania
gentlemen interested coming to Maine
for the purpose: Then, it is said, the
active work of construction will be
begun. Several manufacturing concerns

Yesterday afternoon a we'll dressed young
man, about y or % years Of age. entered
an insurance office in this city and applied
to the insuranc. agent for pecuniary aid.
He said that his name was Wilson. that be
belonged in Philadelpbia: that he was
temporarily out of money and hungry; that
he expected a remittance today, but needed
money to pay for food and nights lodg
ing. The young man was very well dressed.
His clothes and hat were faultless, his
collar and necktie immao ulate, and he wore
patent leather shoes.a The insurance agent
had his misgivings, but he gave the young
man an order on the Chase house tor sup
per, lodging and breakfast. He kept his
eye on him after he LETT the Office. how
ever. and noticed that he went down the
street instead of up. as he should have done

slick young man, and meeting friend told
him of his suspicious and they shadowed
the man together. They followed him along
street after street till finally he stopped a
man on the sidewalk and they got near

money, which was finally given to him.
At this the insurance agent sought the

on the boat and bought his ticket of

Boston for two weeks. He made SO many
contradicting and evasive statements that

Wiscassett. May 7.-The teerm of the Su-
preme court here, over which Chief Justice
Peters is presiding. is drawing to it's close
after session of much moro than ordinary
interest. The suits brought by the Wiscas-
set and Quebec Railroad against delinquent
subscribers to its stock have been carried
to the Law court. Only two of the suits
were taken to serve as test cases. One is
that against Dr.Giddiags. already described
in the PRESS. The other is the case against
Joseph Colburn of Winsor. In this the
plaintiff corporation put in the same evil
dence as in the Giddings case. The defend
ant offered testimony to show that he
agreed with Jasper S. Gray, who solicited
the subscription, that payment for tho stock
should be made by labor and material to be
used in the construo tion OF the road, and
that the road refused to recognize this
trade. demanding payment in cash.
Following these railroad cases, cane that

have procured money by false pretences.
This related to the financial transactions of

alleged that Houston borrowed S400 of
Captain Enoch H. Goudy of Bristol, and in
order to get the money made false represen-
tations as to his property. The case was
tried at a previous term and the Jury dis
agreed. There was large delegation of
Bristol and Damariscotta people present,
many OF whom appeared as witnesses. 1t
was shown that Houston had borrowed
large sunas of money. lists of his liabilities
and assets being put in evidence. The case,
however, turned on a conversation be-
tween Goudy and Houston. AS Captain
Goudy remembered it Houston told him he
owned the farm ON which he lives. AS
Houston stated it, he + said In reply to
Captain Goudy that there was no incum-
brance on his property. He did not say
that he owned the farm.
The case was not finished until this after
noon, when the jury returned verdict of
not guilty. There is another case pending
against Houston. growing out of other
transactions he had in the course of his
financial dealings. This case was continued,
the respondent being placed under $500
bonds. County Attorney Hall and J-dge
William II. Hilton appeared for the state,
and Trus P. Pierce. ESQ.,. of Rockland, and

Will Be Practically WORTHLESS
Constantinople, May THE Uuited
Press representative here learns that
the report of the Armenian commission
is destined to be mass of contradictory
statements of the Turkish delegates VS..
the Foreign delegates. The Porte, it is
learned. will certainly adopt the state
Inents of the former and refuse to accept
the latter as a, basis of reforms, hence
the scheme of the Turish commission on
Armenian reforms recently submitted
to and approved by the Sultan, granting
Armenians share in the provincial gov
ernment, does not aIlude to Sassoun.
There is a story broad that a foreign
scheme of Armenian reforms is shortly
to be presented to the Porte by Russia,
England and France. 1t is based on
the ascertained fact that the Porte made
no improvements in tine administration
of affairs in Armenia in accordance
with the treaty of Berlin.
