At St. Paurs Catholic church the pro-
gramme is especially suited to the day.
There will be five masses read, at the
following hours: $780, z, s, 3 and 1915
O'Clock a. m. In addition to the masses,
vespers will be sung at 730 O'clock in
the evening. The 4:30 o'clock mass will
be an event unusually impressive.
Formerly this mass was celebrated by.
Catholics all over the world at the be-
ginning of the day; namely, at u

been made for early morn. At st.

mass will be accompanied by special
music. The mass will be Mallard's. b
fiat, and solos and duets will be render
ed by DR.. Spelman, Miss Catherine
Finn and others. Miss Margaret
O'Regan will have supervision over the
entire musical arrangements. Two of
the masses, the and 8 o'clock ones,
will be celebrated by the Rev. Father
Pirnat, and will be more especially de-
voted to the Austrian members of St.

car will leave Carroll at 4 o'clock a. m.
