VIII be finished in season for the COM
mlttee TO make its report at the Octo-
Der meeting, although the report NAV
not be submitted until the meeting in
November. This will give ample time
as the certificates of election need not
be sent out until 20 days before the
first Wednesday in January.
The work of tabulating the returns
TINS year will be more of job than it
has been in the past, for the reason
that there were more candidates voted
for this year than ever before Tn
nearly every county in the State four
distinct tickets We're in the field. and
though the votes for some of the candi-
dates are small in number, vet the
work of tabulating them is just as on
erous as if the vote was much larger.
1t will probably be found that the
Prohibition and the Socialist votes will
be quite general throughout the State
and each party will show quite a re-
spectacle following. The indications
are that two years from now neither
of these parties will be obliged to file
petitions in order to secure a place on
the official ballot. as the Socialists were
obliged to do this year. In 1900 the So
cialists only polled 653 votes in the
whole State. AS parties must poll at
least l per cent. of the total vote be-
fore they can have place on the Off
cial ballot, the Socialists were obliged
to petition. In the recent election it
looks as if the new party has cast at
least 1900 votes and possibly several
hundred more. In Portland, Bath and
Skowhegan the party cast nearly 1000
votes.

An erroneous report has been in cir
culation that Hon. Luther Maddocks,
Republican candidate for senator in
Lincoln county. had been defeated for
that office at the election on Monday.
The complete returns from that coun-
ty, with the exception of the town Of
Whitefield, which will not affect tie
result. show that Mr.. Maddocks is
elected by a safe plurality, although
his vote runs behind that given for the
head of the ticket. In all the towns
except Whitefield the total vote is as
follows: Luther Maddocks, Republican.
1874: Samuel D. Wyman, Democrat,
1886. The town of Whitefield gave a
small plurality against Maddocks, it is
understood. but his election is assured
by at least 800 plurality.

PAULICT MISSION
DRAWING CROWDS
THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED LAST
NIGHT INCLUDED ONE ABOUT
MAsoNRY-PRlEsT SAID 1T BE.
. LoNeED TO REEIeIous sEcTs.

The Paulist mission to non-Catholics In
progress at st. Paurs church continues
TO draw large congregations every night.
The services begin promptly at 745
o'clock. and before that time the pews
are well filed. Late Corners are accom-
modated with chairs in. the aisIes.
Father Healy began the exercises last
night by answering questions found IN
the query box at the door OF the church..
Why does the Catholic church use can
dies on the altar? Why does the Catholic
church put Freemasonry under the ban?
Why is not the communion administered
to the laity in both hnds-under the
form of wine as well as under the form
OF bread? Why does the Catholic believe
in purgatory? Those were some of the
QUERIES.
Father IIealy started out by saying
| that volumes had been written about al
tar lights and the ceremonies of the
church. The lighted candle he said, was
used BECAUSE it was symbolic of the light
of the gospel The ceremonial accom-
paAylng the sacrifice of the mass was
benttlng the solemn act Il might an
swer the question: the priest remarked,
'by asking, Why do not non-Catholc
bodies have altar lights and ceremonies?
It is because they do not have the sac
rifice of the mass"
Father Eealy said that Freemasonry
was condemned by the Catholic church
for the same reason that the Methodist
and other sects were condemned; name
lly, It was a religion outside of and apart
from the true church. Masonry and sim
liar orders were, he protested, religious
institutions.
In reply TO the question about the COM
munion Father Healy explained that the
present practice of the church was a
matter of discipline and not of doctrine
lie said that those who received the body
of Christ received also his blood.
Touching the question of purgatory the
father said that the doctrine was taught
in the second book of Maecabees; that
while it was not taught directly In other
parts of the Bible there were familiar
passages in the New Testament which
could not be explained unless there was
such place as purgatory
THE Jews in the time of Christ, the
apostles and the fathers of the early
church. believed in purgatory,' said
Father Healy, land the idea Of purgatory
was not rejected until the reformation"
Father Younan preached a sermon on
Gods coadiness to pardon the penitent.
1t was in the nature of man to sin; 1t
vas in the nature of God to pardon sin.
lie said that God, the Father, paydoned
sin; that Christ, the Son, pardoned SIN;
that the apostles, in the name Of Christ,
rardonad sin, and those ministers or
representatives of Christ who derived
their authority through the apostles par
doned sin.

Taladago, December n.-(special)-
John II. Donahoo. grand keeper Of rec
ords and seal, of the grand lodge, Knights

in this city at o'clock this morning af-
ter long and painful illness. Bright's
disease was the cause of death. The
funeral will take place tomorrow MORN
Ing at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Donahoo was about A years Of age
Until last May he had enjoyed the most
vigorous health. Soon after the meet
ing of the grand lodge of Pythians in
Montgomery, during the first week in
May. which meeting Mr.. Donahoo at
tended in his official capacity, he was
taken i'll, and although able at times to
attend to the duties of his office, he
steadily declined physically until a few
weeks ago, when he went to bed never
to arise. He was well aware Of his APP
preaching end and faced death without
a murmur Recently he has been visited
by prominent Pythians from all over the
state.
When death came he was surrounded
by members of his family and other rel
atives. He leaves widow and son and
two daughters. Three of his sisters reside
In the Birmingham district-Mrs J. W.

Mr. Donahoo was for four years post

prominent having attained the office Of
grand chancellor about seven years ago.
About five years ago he was elected
grand keeper of records and seal, which

He was one Of the most popular Pythians
in the state and as an officer of the
der he was loyal efficient and painstak-
ing. He was also prominent as an Odd
Fellow and was a leading member of the
Baptist church here.
AS a man Mr.. Donahoo possessed a
large heart, being charitable almost to

to him. His home life was exceedingly
happy, as he was kind, generous and
affectlonate as a father and husband.

mingham have sent a beautiful floral de-
sign to Talladega, where John II. Dona-
hoo. the grand keeper of records and
seal died yesterday. The lodges here
will send committees to attend the fu-
