GOOD

The Friday before Easter, sacre d as the
annual commemoration Of the crucifxion
of Our Lord, has been observed
from the earliest ages Of the Christian
church, as q day of religious fast and
solemn religious ceremonlals-as we learn
from the apostolic constitutions and from
Eusebius, who also states that when under
Constantine Christianity was established
in the Roman Empire, the holding of courts,
markets, ETC., was on this day forbidden.
In the Roman Catholic church the mass Of
this day differs from all other masses dur
ing the year, in this, that no conservation
of the host takes place, the wafer blessed
on the previous day having been retained.
This is called missd presdnctJfcatorum, a
mass of the presanctified. At this mass
the altar is stripped Of all ornaments, the
priests and attendants are robed in black
the kiss of peace is omitted, and the So
called Elaboration of the crossv takes
place. The office of the tenebrae is also
recited, and at the close Of the
recitation each lesson from the La
mentations Of Jeremy, one Of
the candles is extinguished until there re-
mains but the paschal candle, which as a
symbol of Our Lords death and burial, is
concealed behind or under the altar. In
the church OF England, Good Friday is also
observed with much solemnity.

rnn LArnsr MUSIC.



Among the recent music received from
tho well.known music publishers, Oliver
Ditson company, Boston, THE OPrrc re-
celved an excellent song In the ballad style
by Madeline Shirley, the famous English
vocalist, entitled, "The Dear Homeland"
The words touch the tenderest chords OF
home life, and the melody Is extremely
pleasing. Altogether II Isl long which
deserves popularity among the general
public. Another song OF the popular sort
is May Irwin's coon ''hit," "Honey, Meet
Me, Do" written by the well.known New
York theatrical manager, Rudolph Aron-
son. "Honey. Meet Me, Do" Is already
deservedly popular, and should have a
very large sale among those who desire
this class OF melody.
"Pigeons in the Old Red Barn" 10 a song
for medium voice in a more serious nature,
yet still In the popular vein. 1t is a sweet
story song, with a captivating refrain.
Words are by Augustus l.. Jameson.
Music by Geo. Hubbard wilder.
Among the instrumental music, the
"Frontenac'' two-step, by Fred W. Edge
comb, is especially worthy of mention. 1t
Is cleverly written with a swinging melody
which attracts and pleases the nearer.
Players who desire something pretty, yet
easily played, will do well to examine
"Frontepac." The brentwood Polka"
By Frank Collins, is another pleasing num-
Der.
A reprint OF Gustave Lange's we'll
known legend for the piano, entitled SIN
the CloIster," is also found among this
months musi,. II is q tone-picturs of tho
most delightful character and is especially
suitable for concert or practice.
These pieces may be secured through the
local dealer, or will be sent on examination
by the publishers, Oliver Ditson company,
Boston, when satisfactory references are
furnished.

Popular Young Man Dead.

Word received by wire, yesterday after
noon, about 3 O'Clock, conveyed the sad
intelligence that VIM. r. Cullen. son of Il,
K. M. Cullen and wife, of this city, had
accidentally shot himself fatally, at Ard
more, Indian Territory, where he held the
position of agent for the Wells Fargo ex-
press company. The news came like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky to the par
ents, and was made harder to bear by the
fact Of no other particulars having been
received up to this morning.
The young man was well known here, he
having served as deputy postmaster under
j. N. Furlong and afterwards in the en-
ploy Of the Colorado Telephone Go. He
went from here to Old Mexico, where he
was express messenger for the company in
whose employ he wa at the time of the
accident.
He married an estimable young lady of
San Antonio, Texas, on November 11th,
1895, who is left without worldly consola-
ton, from the fact Of their being no chill
dren to comfort her. His father will leave
in the morning for Ardmore.

The Trinidad, Colo, Advertiser thus re-
fers to a former saddler, bartender and
gambler, who married his wife in this
city, subsequently removing to Ration and
Trinidad;
A call for information regarding Robert
Linn 10 yesterday mornings Advertiser,
made by his father, who resides in Auson,
Ont, calls to mind a tragedy which &C.
Cured in a gambling house in this city
three years ago on the 9th of September.
1t will be remembered that Linn, known
here as ''Russ, nwas stabbed thirteen times,
by a party in self.defense, dying from the
results Of his injuries a few minutes after
the %stabbing occurred. Linn was buried
In this city. He left a wife and child, who
were living In Ration, a short time ago.
This will be very sad news, indeed, to send
to the father, who is perhaps ~anxiously
awaiting some tidings of bis son.
