NO CENTURY DATE NAMED.
A Wrong View of the Pnpnl Midnigh
Mass PcrmissiOn.


NEW YORK. Dec. ia Philadelphia
paper printed yesterday under Washing
ton date line statement that the Apostolic
Delegation at Washington had received the
text of a decree Of the Congregation OF
Rites at Rome, in which the Pope grants
the permission of celebrating mid
night mass on December 81. next.
According to the story this mass
would be celebrated '.at the mo-
ment when the old century dies, and the
new one begins" and 1t was added that
the Pope had thus fixed for the Catholic
world the date Of the beginning of the
twentieth century.
At the archiepiscopal residence here last
night 1t was said that the Archbishop had
received q circular letter from the presi
dent of an association at Rome founded for
the purpose of celebrating the year 1900
as a jubilee year. This letter. which was
sanctioned by the Pope. provides for the
celebrating of midnight mass on the
night of December 81, 1910.
The priest who spoke to the New York
reporter said he was confident that no
mention was made of the year 1900, as the
first year Of the new century, and that 1t
was his impression that Catholics were
satisfied with the conclusion reached by
scholars that the century begins with the
year 1901.

| and board of aldermen of Frederick city

cial meeting of the board a committee was
appointed to promote this object
Senator McCOmas, in response to a let
ter from City Attorney Hammond Urner
to the city fathers. says:
Years ago, when conditions were more
favorable l urged the payment of the just
claim Of the mayor and aldermen of Fred
erick. At that time l was having some
measure OF success when my term in Con-
gress closed l will help renew the de-
mand and suggest the bill be introduced
in both the House and Senate at the same
time.
This war levy made by the Confederate
army thirty-five years ago is now an old
claim. The Spanish war has interviewed.
New and large expenditures as result Of
that have been imposed on the National
revenues. These are now difficulties i'm
peding cur success.
Il mean to do my best for Frederick. l
will be glad il in the course of time | can
help procure the payment of this sum,
which has so long remained an unrequited
burden upon the taxpayers Of Frederick
city,"
Senator Wellington said: Il know some
thing about the case OF which you write
and shall do anything l can to help your
people in their endeavor TO collect the
claim for the loss sustained by Frederick
under the Confederate levy in 1864.
II think possibly it would be well to
introduce the bill both in the Senate and
the House. and if you will send me draft
of bill such as you would like to have
introduced l will be glad TO present it in
the Senate, and do what | can to pass it
for you.
81 desire to say that you can count on
my active effort in behalf of Frederick l
will be glad to see you should you come 10
Washington. so that ! may talk with you
concerning this claim II is a difficult one,
as you well know, and yet l feel that the
perseverance of our Frederick people may
in the end win for them success"
