PRESENCE OF MIND.
Lieut.. Kotzschmar's Prompt Action Saves
Mans Life.

During Saturday night a man named
John Curran came down from Boston on
the boat and the officers say, was quite
intoxicated. After the arrival of the boat
he wandered to Custom House wharf and
fell into the dock. In falling he struck
his head against a pile, or something
hard, and received bad cut on the head
Lieut.. Kotzschmar, assistant engineer on
the United States revenue steamer Wood
bury came ashore In his boat and on
reaching the dock saw the body of Curran
lying on the bed of the dock face down
ward. With the assistance of his crew the
man was taken ashore, and although no
was apparently pulseless, Mr.. Kotzschmar
worked over him for long time until
his exertions were rewarded by faint signs
of breathing and heart beat. The patrol
wagon was then called for and Curran
taken to the police station, where Drs.
McDonough and Hanna sewed up his
wounds, and managed to get him out of
danger. If Mr.. Kotzschmar had waited
for the patrol instead of using individual
exertion the man would probably have
died.

The Veteran Firemen turned out in
good numbers yesterday morning in citi-
zen's dress, and attended the Gospel
Mission, where an excellent discourse was
preached by Rev S. F. Pearson, who is
a member of the association The Mission
was tastefully, decorated with flags, ban
ners, firemen's implements, and trophies
rejecting great. credit on those who had
the decoration in charge
At 1870 a. m., the pastor, Rev. S. F.
Pearson, entered the church, and as he
passed up the aisle received the salute of
recognition by all the veterans rising and
remaining standing until he had taken
his place at the pulpit. The services
opened with singing "All Hail the Power
of Jesus Name" by the congregation.
The pastor then read scripture lessons
from the ninety-fir Psalm, and the
tenth chapter of Romans "Throw out
the Life Line" was sung with hearty
spirit. The veterans entering into it with
much enthusiasm. Mr.. Pearson said he
desired to address his comrades upon the
true, practical, religion of the Bible, as
revealed in the gospels, and the unselfish,
sacrificing life of Christ, and invited the
attention and consideration of his hearers
to the words, "Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart. Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thy self, and render
unto Caesar the things which are
Caesars, and unto God the things that
are Gods" and from this text preached
a most impressive sermon.
At the close of the sermon, which held
the undivided attention of the hearers for
more than an hour, "God be with you till
we meet again" was sung, and the SER
vices closed with the benediction.

CORPUS CHRISTI,
Important Religious Celebration at the
Catholic Cathedral.

Solemn high mass was celebrated at the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
| 1920 O'Clock yesterday. Rev A. J.
Barry, celebrant, Rev d. J. O'Brien,
| deacon, Rev. G. W. Collins, sub-deacon
| and Mr.. f. M. Driscomb, master of cere-
monies. Right Reverend Bishop Healey
| was present i'll cappa magma and preached
| an able sermon on the blessed sacrament.
In the afternoon at 5 o'clock pontifical
vespers was held and the spacious cathe-
dral was crowded to its utmost capacity.
Right Reverend Bishop Healey was cele-
brant; assistant priest, Rev. E. F. Hur-
ley, deacon, Rev. John O'Dowd; sub
deacon, Rev. C. W. Collins. For the
procession alone the assistant deacons
were Rev. r. f. Lee and Rev. A. j..
Barry; sub deacon of the cross, Rev. M.
f. O'Connor; master of ceremonies, Rev.
M. c. McDonough, rector of the cathe-
dral; assistant master of ceremonies, Rev.
d. J. O'Brien, chancellor.
Bishop Healey in his address referred to
the part professions had played in the
history of the world. some being of a
military nature, others in the interests of
peace; that idolaters had marched carry
ing the idols of their false gods and that
the Israelites in true worship bore aloft
| the ark of the covenant for forty years,
but the procession today would bear the
Immanual and be proof that the people
had received the divine word and he in
vited all to join with the clergy to hear
the Lord that they might earn for them
] selves divine blessing.
The procession then began its march
down the central aisle of the cathedral. 1t
was composed of about sixty boys and
two hundred girls dressed in white with
flowers wreathed about their heads, a
military escort made up of the Mont
gomery Guards, Sheridan Rifles and the
Uniform Order, A. 0. II. Following
these came the Bishop bearing the
ostensorium containing the Blessed Sac
rament. The canopy used in the pro-
cession of the blessed sacrament was also
carried. Benediction was given at the
altar of the Blessed Virgin at St. Josephs
and the High Altar. AS the procession,
after circling the cathedral, returned
down the central aisle, the girls were very
effectively grouped around the chancel
rail with the military formed in two lines
down the aisle, and as the Bishop re-
| turned to the altar a salute was given
him. At the termination of the services
Bishop Healey complimented the military
on their appearance, and the aid which
they had rendered in making the services
most impressive h
