TO AID FAIR COMPANY.
Congress Asked TO Help Liauidate
Pan-Americnn Debts.

The Buffalo Exposition Company held a
magnificent fair in the Queen City Of the
Lakes last summer, and Congress pat
ronized the show very literally making
a neat appropriation to help cut the prof.
ect.
The Buffalo Exposition Company now
finds a deficit of 81 500 COO, and asks that
Congress donate the sum of s100o.000 to
help clear the debt, the city of Buffalo
TO raise the remaining s50Oo0
This is the case which the New York
delegation in Congress. headed by Sena-
tor Flatt. viii present to the Senate and
House Immediately after the holiday re-
cess. and it is believed that the desired
appropriation viii be forthcoming.
At the same time there Is n strong sen
tfment in both houses against any fur
ther exposition appropriations, so that
n delegation from Buffalo is coming in
January and will endeavor to overcome
the hostile feeling.
The South Carolinians in Congress will
oppose the appropriation unless the
Charleston Exposition gets at least $780,
coo. Senator Allison is said to be against
an appropriation such as is asked by the
PufalO men. as he does not see why the
Committee on Appropriations should be-
gin paying off the debts of bankrupt cor
porations-
If the New York mespdo not get what
they are after they will fight what others
won't and the desired appropriation may
rouse n lively war during the first session
of the Fifty-seveEth Congress.

MONKS TO sing
MIDNIGHT MASS.
Christmas Ceremonies at
Mt. st. SepulChre.
Pro .ESSION TO BETHLEHEM GROTIO.
Solemn Mathis to Inaugurats the
Celebration of the Feast OF tl o
Nativity Unique Rites of Pales-
tno VIII Be Reproduced.

| Elaborate preparations are being made
by the franciscan Fathers at the mon
astery near Brookland for the celebra-
tion of the Feast OF the Nativity. As was
the case last year. the principal eere-
mony will be the solemn midnight mass
on Christmas Eve, preceded by the chant
| ing of mathis. with the ceremonial ap-
propriate to such an occasion. After the
| mass there will re a procession to the
Grotto OF Bethlehem. where all the pc
culiar rites observed on Christmas Eve
at Bethlehem. in Palestine. will be faith
fully reproduced.
Christmas Eve Celebration.
The Chapel OF the Holy Land. as the
monastic church Is known, is one that
lends itself exceedingly we'll to the splen-
dor and dignity OF ecclesiastical ritual.
Last year it was necessary to construct
temporary altar especially for these
services, but since then the church has
been enriched by the erection of a mag
nifcent high altar directly in the middle
Of the church. under the central dome.
Standing thus free on all sides. II is per-
haps unique in this country. the most
noteworthy example Of this style OF arch
itecture being the high altar Of st. Peters
in Rome.
The services On Christmas Eve will be-
gin at IL o'clock, when the community
will enter the church in solemn process
sion. Then the chanting OF the solemn
mathis Will be proceeded with.
This portion of the divine Office is little
known to the general public. the most
common of the eanonical hours being
vespers. AT midnight the chimes will
ring out, and the celebration Of the SOL
emn high mass will begin.
Procession to the Grotto.
Immediately after the conclusion of this
service the eeiebrant lays aside the
chasubIe and puts on the rich white cope,
while an image of the Christ child in wax
is brought out and placed on the altar.
This the celebrant takes in his arms, pre-
eeded by the entire community. bearing
lighted candles. while at either side walk
the deacon and sub-deacon. and starts in
procession to the Grotto Of Bethlehem.
Arrived there the deacon begins to
chant the gospel sung in the mass. At
| the words "aud brought forth her frst-
born Son" the image Is laid under the
altar reproducing that which marks the
place of the Nativity IN Bethlehem. Again
at the words "anl laid him in a manger"
the image is taken up and deposited at
the place of the manger.
The gospel completed, the Gloria in
Excelsis' will be clanted amid the ring
ing Of bells, and then other Christmas
hymns being sung the procession will re-
turn to the upper church.
The other Services.
Low masses will be celebrated in the
grotto after the procession. The other
services of the morning will be: Low
mass at 8. Z. s. and at O'Clock solemn
high mass.
In the afternoon at 3:4j o'clock the
Christmas services will close with solemn
yespers and benediction.
A special arrangement has been made
whereby The BrookIand trolley ears wait
to accommodate visitors oA their return
to the city from the midnight mass.
