AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
The Impressive Services Being Held al
Trinity.
Deaths of Several Well-Kn0wn People
Local Notes of General and
Special Interest.

The tenebrae services at Trinity Church,
the last two evenings, have been drawing an
immense crowd. the seating capacity of the
church being taxed to it's utmost limit.
The beautiful and impressive service will
be chanted for the last time this year this
evening at 1880 o'clock. The services are
better this year than ever before from the
fact that the Jesufts and scholastics are as
sisted in the office by a vested choir of
about twenty scholars from the Sunday
school, whose sweet and youthful voices
are exceptionally good under the excellent
leadership.
Solemn high mass was celebrated yester-
day morning with procession. The re-
pository was beautifully decorated with
flowers and potted plants. interspersed with
numberless lighted candles, and all during
the day there were large numbers of WIS.,
itors to the church In addition to the
tenebrae service in the evening there was
an excellent sermon delivered by Rev.
Father John M. Colgan, S. j., on the Holy
Eucharist.
After 0 o'clock yesterday no bells will
be rung in any Catholic church until to-
morrow. This morning at o'clock the
passion Of our Lord was sung, followed by
the alteration of the cross and the mass
Of the presanctified. At 3 o'clock this af-
ternoon the stations of the way of the
cross were read, commemorative of the
death of Christ In addition to the tene-
brae services this evening there will be a
sermon the passion, delivered by Rev.
Father William ]. Ennis, s. J.
The services tomorrow morning will be
long. and will commence at o'clock. and
will consist of the blessing of fire, paschal
candles and font.

In closing his argument for the defense
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Turner took the
shirt worn by Yermiiion in the fight and
pointed to the cut which the policeman al
legged was made in the fight. He held
ii up before the jury and pulled open the
rent
There" he said, there is blood on
the outside and blood on the inside of that
shirt front, but on this middle thickness
of goods not a trace of blood White. per-
fectly white. How did that blood get
through lgon the inside to the outside
without marking that middle piece OF
goods. Will Mr.. Jeffords please answer
