HOLY WEEK
At st. Johns Church.
A Successful Mission
Concluded.

Father KnapP's eloquent sermon
at the Catholic church last Sunday
was a fitting close OF one of the
most successful missions ever held
in Lafayette. For two weeks the
learned Dominican preached an
average of two sermons day and
upon every occasion the church
was literally packed with people.
The reverend father has certainly
done good work for the holy cause
during his stay in Lafayette, and
those who had the good fortune to
listen to his intelligent discourses
wish to have an opportunity to hear
him again.
Palm Sunday was celebrated with
usual brilliancy at the Catholic
church. AS is customary the: bless
ing of palms took place. The sing
ing by the choir, under the direc-
ton of Miss E. Mouton, was parti-
cularly effective.
Every day of the Holy Week
men, women and children could be
seen vending their way toward St.
Johns church, where could be no
ticed at all hours goodly number of
persons in silent contemplation.
On the evenings of Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday the chanting
of the Tenebrae took place. This
ceremony is SO called on account
of the darknesswhich prevailed over
the earth when Christ was on the
cross.
On Thursday morning at 9
O'Clock solemn high mass was said.
On the morning of Good Friday
there was no real sacrifice of the
ma SIS and no consecration of hos,
wine. AT this service the clergy in
bare feet kiss the feet of the un-
covered: cruci6x. During the day
until late in the evening con-
course of people could be noticed
coming and going to kiss the fee,
of the Crucihed Savior. A very
instructive sermon on the passion
by the erhdite Jesuit, Father De-
Stockhalper, concluded the exer-
cises of Good Friday.
Saturday there will be services at
8 o'clock in the morning. The las,
portion of the day will be devoted by
the priests to the hearing of con-
LESSONS.
Tomorrow, Easter, the ceremo-
MES will be performed with usual
solemnity. High mass will be said
at O'Clock. A collection for the
seminary will be made, and after the
will take place.

! J. d. Knapp Is considerably bruised
up from having been beaten by some
Mexican th.gs at Guaymas the other
night. Mr.. Knapp had just been paid
off at the railroad office After pay
ing come bills down town, he started,
back to the Office, when three Mex
leans jumped onto him as he neared
the hospital and knocked him down.
He was unarmed, but he made it
pretty lively for the thugs until they
drew knife and began slashing him
They took S75 from him and then
skipped.
Colonel c. z. Croker returned from
the east yesterday and after spending
a few hours at his office went to his
country residence in San Mateo. He
brought comparatively little news with
him from the east. SO far as railroad
matters are concerned, except the fact
that the exchange of the strip of line
between Mojave and the Nee lies for
the Sonora line, which runs from Ben
son, Arizona, south to Guaymas in
Mexico, will be accomplished about
July 1st. Both the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fee are ready to make
the deal, but the consent of the Mex
lean government to the change of
ownership in the line in Mexico must
first be obtained. This is only a mat
east to bring home his children, WHO
are being educated there. They will
spend the summer vacation with the
Francisco Examiner.
