PETERS PENCE.

Peters Pence, the annual collection for tho
Pope, wi be taken up in the Catholic churches
tomorrow at all the services. The following
notice from Cardinal Gibbons will be read at
the masses: This collection is yeaGly tAet.ii
monial OF our love for the War of Christ
and our practical ..:ympathy with him in the
ny MY trials that press heavily upon him. 1t
is hoped, therefore, that ALL rich and poor,
will kindly interest themselves in this
collection and by their generosity make
it worthy of the supreme head of the
church" Such is the modern manner OF
collecting the tribute known as Peters Pence,
which had its origin in England, according 10
LiDgard, in the reign of Alfred The Great
The Reformation put st1p to the regularity
of the annual tribute but in 1846, con.
c rted effort IN several parts OF Europe re-
vived the ancient custom, in the shape OF a
free will Offering to the Pope, which
has been largely increased by the faithful
since the annexation OF the papal tates to the
kingdom of Italy.
Tomorrow being Trinity Sunday, marks
the close Of what Is known as the pasohal
time, during which period it is required OF
all Catholics to receive holy communion.

This is the mother church among the

movement started by Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy in 1867 and now
plumbers 200, 900 members, while half a
million people more attest its power
They take the Scriptures as their guide,
according to the church tenels, and
adore one supreme God, acknowledge
ing Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit
they accept the atonement and hold
the way of salvation demonstrated by
Jesus to be the power of trnth over all
sin, error, sickness, and death, and
solemnly promise when they unite with
the church to strive, watch and pray
for the mind to be in them which was
in Christ Jesus. Their curative system
is based on the theory of unreali;y or
non.e1istence Of matter, and that mind
is the only reality. Mrs. Eddy claims
nat, while apparently very near death,
aer mind laid hold upon the thought
that sll evil, whether physical or moral,
must be nor-existent, because contrary

FIRE.-Shortly before twelve o'clock
to-day the interior of the room over the
kitchen of the residence of Mr.. VIM.
Tomlir, on the west side of Fairfax
street, between Wolfe and Wilkes, was
found to be burning. An alarm was
sounded and the engines and truck were
soon on the scene and 10 q few minu-
ties time effectually subdued the flames.
1t seems that fierce fire had been
started in stove in the kitchen, some old
plank having been used as fuel, and the
blaze running up the chimney protrud-
ed from an open stove pipe hole in the
room above. A wardrobe which was
standing close by caught fire and most
of the clothes it contained were burn
ed or damage. The second alarm grew
out of the first, the police ringing the
town bell about fifteen minutes after
the first alarm had been sounded.
