Maundy Thursday Services Celebrated at St. PauI's
 Church. Holy Week

The Maundy Thursday services at St. Paul's church yesterday were singularly impressive. At 6:30 a. m. class from the Sunday school made it's first com munion.
 At o'clock there was high mass, with the Rev. Father Kennedy as the cele- brant. The congregation filled the vast nave, it being as large as that which usually assemblies on Sundays
 A choir of women sang Battmanns mass, At the end of the Gloria in Excelss the bells were rung, but not until Holy Saturday (to-morrow) will the sound of bell be heard again. Likewise the organ must remain silent during the same time. The Credo, the Sanctus and the Agnus Del were sweetly sung capella.
 A hundred or more of the faithful knelt at the sanctuary rail and received com munion. MI .SassIaK
 After the mass a procession was formed in the middle aisle in the following order: Cross bearer; two light bearers; the Chil- dren of Mary dressed in black with white veils over their heads; the Benedictine nuns; little girls in white, bearing flow CTS; twelve aeolytes bearing candles; two thurifers; the celebrant, vested in white cope and humeral veil, bearing the blessed sacrament; the Rev. Father Downs and the Rev. Father Robert, o. s. B., assistants or supporters to the cele- brant. The procession moved in solemn form away from the high altar and around the church to the aisle leading to St. Joseph's altar. The little children strewed flowers and the nuns sang the tender old medieval hymn. "Pange Lin qua Gloriosi." Few more churchly scenes are witnessed than this Maundy Thurs day procession. The blessed sacrament was placed in the repository on St. Jos eph's altar, there to remain until Satur- day.
 Last night Tenebrae was sung by the Rev. Fathers O'Reilly, Meurer, Kennedy Wright, Robert and Downs. Father Kennedy preached a short practical ser mon on the right dispositions for receiv- ing the Holy Communion.
 There will be service this morning at 8 o'clock, this afternoon at o'clock and tonight at 7:30 o'clock. After the night service there will be choir practice.

"D|CK" GOING IS IN HERO" CLASS Birmingham Boy Covers Him. self With Glory in PhiIippines1 ROUTED THE INSURGENTS His Prompt and Fearless Action Saved American Garrison-Was iu Com
 mand of Company L Of the
 Forty-fourth Infantry.
ROUTED THE INSURGENTS

Information comes from the Philippines that Lieut. R. B. Going of Birmingham familiarly called Dick has covered himself with glory in a hot fight with insurgents at Dumanjug, Island of Cebu
 Lieutenant Going is son of James A. Going of this city, and has hundreds of friends here who will be glad to know that he came out of the battle uninjured
 The following letter to the Age-Herald tells of the engagement in which Lieu tenant Going commanded the American forces:
 ''Dumanjug, Cebu P. l., Feb. 20, 1901.
 'On the night of February 6. 1901 preconcerted attack was made upon this town by Godine's band of insurgents, four hundred strong. The insurgents ad- vanced upon the town from four direc- tions, each column composed of one hun dred bolo men This station is garrison ed by Company l., Forty-fourth Infan- try, commanded by Lieut. R. B. Going who happened to be officer of the day on this occasion. The insurgents had select ed a particularly dark and gloomy night, and made the attack about 10 D. m. Up on the alarm being given by an outpost Lieutenant Going rushed upon one col umn with only patrol of six men and succeeded in turning them after killing seven and woundingmany.
 "He then hastened to the relief of the headquarters which by this time were surrounded by one hundred insurgents of another column. Increasing his party to fifteen he rushed upon them, firing vol lev after volley, and soon succeeded in causing them to retreat, leaving twelve dead and four desperately wounded, car rying off many more wounded-number unknown.
 Tt may be truly said and it is firmly believed that but for Lieutenant Goings prompt and fearless action on this night that the entire garrison would have been masacred. It Is only proper that his home people should know of his heroism. Very truly

w ARRIOR lMPROVtME I

At the regular monthly meeting of the Commercial Club, which will be held at o'clock this afternoon, the following letter from Congressman Bankhead will be read:
 Birmingham, Ala, April g. 1901 Hon. J. H. Gibson, Secretary, Conner cial Club, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir-The committee on rivers and harbors are arranging a tour of inspec- tion of the different waterways and har- bors
 The committee will leave Washington about the Sd of June next. going to the Pacific coast by way of Mobile, New Or leans and Galveston. It occurs to me that 1t might be well for the Commercial Club of Birmingham to extend an invi- tation to the committee to spend one day looking over the Birmingham district.
 It is true that several members of the committee have on former occasions vis- tied Birmingham, but the full committee has never had that pleasure. We want to interest the committee in the speedy and complete improvement of the Warrior river and it's connections to Mobile; and also give them an opportunity to look into and determine the necessity for the benefits that would accrue to the Bir- mingham district by speedy building of the Warrior river canal, connecting Bir- mingham and it's industries with the Warrior river.
 If you think well of the suggestion you can send an invitation to Hon. T. E. Bur ton, chairman of the river and harbor committee, at Washington.
 am a member of the subcommittee to arrange the itinerary and details of the trip, and it would give me pleasure to take the matter up with the committee at our first meeting.
 I deem it very important that the full committee visit Birmingham and make a thorough investigation, extending to the productions of the district which may find an outlet and market through the port of Mobile Very respectively,

Rough Treatment in Alabama.


 ''So I was put to work with lot of con- victs in a coal mine near Birmingham. A tough lot they were. tell you. Not the best company for a boy of 15, I guess. We slept in jail and got up every morning at 5, working until at night. Our cots were hung by iron rods to the ceiling to keep the cockroaches and such off, l s'pose, and two of us usually slept in a cot. Our food consisted mostly of salt pork, great greasy hunks-how I loathed it- and once in a while we got bowl of soup, and we had weekly allowance of tobacco. When we came In from the mine at night we slipped off the suits we wore, which were black as soot, and washed in tubs of water, two men to a tub In the morning we put on our min ing suit again, received each his hunk of pork, etc., and went to work
 Being such big fellow, a good deal was expected of me. But l don't think anything tired me as much as the long walk each morning through passages that weren't high enough for me to stand erect, carrying my two heavy pickaxes. That was awful! Three carloads or coai a day-a car held about a ton-was what was expected of me; and this l had to delve for as well as load.
 ''The first day I was there, owing to my not knowing anything about the work, and nobody telling me, was idle good deal, and in the evening got thrashing for 1t. 1t was hard on a fellow for you must remember I was only boy, though 1 was so big to be beaten with that awful strap. How did they do 1t? Why, they made me strip to the waist and lie down on the floor on my stomach, and then they used the strap on my back and shoulders-used it effectually. too, leav- ing long, sore welts all down my back, and in some places drawing blood! Ugh. 1t was nasty; but didn't howl!
 T jammed my hand between two cars a few days before my time was up, and owing to clumsy surgical treatment and my own folly in washing the wound in a pail of dirty water, blood poisoning set in and I came near dying, When at last I was free. I was a wreck. I wrote to my father and he sent me the money at once to come home to Chicago. My family were glad to see me, of course, and I couldn't help thinking of the return of the prodigaI and the fatted calf. and all that business, as they fed me up on deli cacies and treated me like a prince. Mo- I don't think father had been very uneasy about me. He Isn't that kind. He knows I always land on my feet"
