SOLEMN MIDNIGHT SERVICES.
The Very Rev. Dean Flynn's Patriotic
Sermon.

Those whose privilege it was to be
present at the solemn midnight SER
vices at rne Church of the Assump-
tion New Years eve, will indeed not
soon forget the beauty of that impos-
ing ceremony. Three-fourths of the
fifteen hundred present received the
Blessed Sacrament as fitting com
mencement of the new century.
Solemn High Mass was celebrated
by Very Rev. Dean Flynn, assisted
by Rev. Father De Vincentius as dea-
con, Rev. Mr.. Dunn, sub-deacon, and
James Rutledge, master of cere-
monies, and began at IL. 45 o'clock. At
one minute of twelve the church bell
tolled the knell of the departing CEN
tury and precisely at the dawn of the
new century the celebrant entoned the
"Gloria in Excelsis Deo.
The following musical programme
sung by the Cbancel Choir under the
direction of Prof. Joseph Dooley, was
the best ever heard in the church.

One of the most interesting parts
of the ceremony was the eloquent an d
touching sermon delivered by Very
Rev. Dean Flynn. The Dean reviewed
in thorough and mastery manner
the history of this country from the
struggling and perilous times at the
dawn of the past century to the ad-
vantages, successes and blessings OF
the present day. This grand and pa
triotic discourse was closed with q
touching prayer, begging the con.
tinued blessings and protection Of
Divine Providence on "this, ou1
grand and noble republic. :"
AS a special privilege the Blessed
Sacrament was exposed ON the altar
from midnight Monday till Tuesday
at noon when, Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament was given by the
Very Rev. Dean Flynn.
The patients in All Souls Hospital
were not forgotten in the dawn of
the new century's rejoicing, as Rev.
7. M. Donovan also celebrated mass
at midnight in that institution.

ADDITION TO MARKET ST,
MISSION.

A friend of the Mission, who has
been interested in it's practical work
for many years, has bought the vacant
lot on Market street adjoining the
Mission. He intends to erect bull

of the Mission. The additional room
is very much needed for several
branches of the Mission work.

and smoke his pipe. In other words
his allowance is space 10 feet long,
5 feet wide and feet 3 inches high,
and this he shares with water closet
and bath room for Z men.
These allowances of air-space are
an outrage against which humanity
revolts. For the night in the cells is
157 cubic feet drawn from hall
where 81 men have been living all day
on an allowance of 30l feet apiece,
and occasionally even this 157 feet is
reduced to 105! And these conditions
enforced on prisoners very many of
whom have not yet been proven to be
guilty!
We are glad to give full recognition
of the improvements that have been
made in the Jail. Decent separate pro-
vision is made for women and minors.
Witnesses are no longer locked up in
close communication with the cages
designed for the confinement of felons
and murders. But look at the moral
aspect of this matter and see what
it means How can we defend our
selves for having jail where all
sorts and degrees of offenders have to
be herded together in one unclassl-
fed mass, the hardened criminal, the
light offender, the arrest awaiting
trial and not known to be guilty, all
crowded together in horribly unsani-
| tary conditions and with nothing in
the world to do!
| Many of these people are young men
and not bad fellows when they go in.
Give them one month, three, four, six
months or possibly more, a year, in
this frightful school, and how much
more could Morris county or the citi-
zens of Morris County do to make
every one of them a criminal?
There is no need in the world for
this state of things. We know how
to build jails which avoid every one
of these conditions and jails which

crime as this Morris County Jail.
The New Jersey laws require many
of the complaints we have made
against this prison to be avoided.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to construct Jail which by its struo-
ture and arrangement will assure a
rational and decent classification of
prisoners, by sex, age, and degree OF
criminality.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to provide workshop to save the men
from the curse of idleness. 1t is no
more difficult to give them a yard
where they can get daily taste of
Gods gift of fresh air. that gift which
is forbidden to prisoners by no au-
thority we know of except the bar
barous authority which sustains and
defends the Morris County Jail.

THE CHRONICLE CALENDAR.

AS customary at the beginning of
the year a Chronicle calendar has
been sent to each subscriber. Parti-
cular care has been taken this season
to present one which will appeal to
residents of Morristown and vicinity,
in fact, to all patriotic citizens. The
engraving will call to mind events of
momentous Importance to Norris
town and the country at large.

The quarterly meeting of the Mis-
sionary Society of the South Street
Presbyterian Church held on Sunday
was enjoyed by all. Superintendent
Ironside of the Market st. Mission

phase of mission work. Rev. DR..
Erdman read an interesting letter from
his son, the Rev. John Erdman, of
Honolulu and bright singing was
feature of the meeting.

after which prayer was offered by

superintendent of schools read a
copy of the address which Colonel
Roosevelt delivered in carnegie Hall

follows:
''It is peculiar pleasure to mo to

good that has been done by these

ganization recognizes the vital need
of brotherhood, the most vital of
all our needs here in this great con-
tinent
brotherhood of Man.
'This spirit of brotherhood recog-
nizes of necessity both the need of
self help and also the need of helping
others in the only way which ever
ultimately does great good; that is, of
helping them to help themselves.
Every man Of us needs such help at
some time, and each of US should be
glad to stretch out his hand to a
hrather who stumbles. But while
every man needs at times to be lifted
up when he stumbles, no man can
afford to let himself be carried, and it
is worth no mans while to thus try
to carry some one else

me to warn you against mere senti-

There are now over five hundred
voluntary connections with the sani-
tary sewerage, showing what a por-
tion at least, of the best people of Pa
ducah think of II as a successful
improvement. II people were COM
PEELED to connect with it as they are in
other cities, the benefits would soon
be very perceptible- If the present
city council had had the proper CON
sideration for public good, it would
have compelled it. The claim that to
connect necessitates psying for
water and therefore to pat
ronize a private corporation is
nothing but a pretext, nothing but
a fiimsy excuse to do everything pos
sible to prevent the sewerage being a
success. If the city owned water
works, after paying the interest on
bonds, creating IA sinking fund, and
keeping up the plant. the water could
not be furnished to citizens for a cent
less. The company now furnishes the
water for flushing the sewers free.
The contention of The Sun is that
people ought to be compelled by law
to connect with the sewerage, and it
is the opinion of every doctor in the
city, and of many of the best people
outside of the profession, irrespective
of politics. If the people of Psducsh
had had to wait for DR.. Yeiser and
the Democratic councils TO give them
sewerage, they wonld probably be
still waiting when Gabriel blows his
horn.
