REQUIEM MASS
 FOR LATE PONTIFF
Large Congregation Attended
 St. PauPs Church Yesterday
FERvIO tULOGY ON LEO
Father o'Rellly Delivered Discourse, In Which lie Pointed Out Some of the Noble Virtues of the
 Holy Father.

Masses of requiem for the repose of the soul of the dead pontiff Leo XIII. were celebrated in all the parish churches of Alabama yesterday.
 At St. Paurs church the services were very impressive. and consisted of solemn high mass. with schmidt's requiem music and a panegyric by the Rev. Father O'Reilly. The Knights of colum- bus and other Catholic societies attended and the congregation was very large.
 The mass began at mine o'clock. The Very Rev J. A. Hartnett of Niagara Uni- versity was celebrant. the Rev. Father o'Reiily was deacon, the Rev. Father Urban O. S. B.. was sub-deacon and the Rev. Father ODonnell was master of ceremonies. The sanctuary was draped in black and the candle stacks were draped with white and black crepe. A frontal of violet was suspended from the altar.
 After the singing of the gospel Father o'Reilly entered the pulpit and delivered a fervid eulogy or panegyric on the Illus trious vicar of Christ, whose recent death caused the world to mourn. The speaker outlined the traits of character and the achievements of Leo XIII. The holy father, he said. was distinguished for ex- traordinary intellect, great learning, sln- gular force of will practical interest in education and science, profound piety and above all. an abiding sympathy with humanity The Christian virtues were strikingly illustrated by Pope Leo. His aspirations were noble, hls heart was pure and his good works were manifold He was a friend of the poor and op- pressed of every nation, and he never wearied of studying social conditions that he might help to uplift the masses.
 Father OReilly spoke of the pope's famous encyclicals and pointed out their far reaching effect. Those on marriage, on labor and capital and education were, he said, aprlauded by all right thinking people and if Leo had written no other papers these would have given him high place in public regard.
 Father OReilly was listened to with close and sympathetic attention.
 The chair acquitted itself well under the direction of MT. Memol Mrs. Col gan presided at the organ and among the sopranos who sang were Ms. Fut- nam and Miss Fuller. The music con sisted of five numbers, the Requiem the "Sanctus." and the "Agnus Del" from the mass. and simple but beautiful chants for the offertory.

There were several nice little rolls of money handed into the clerk of the police court yesterday as a result of the raids on Sunday crap games.
 Eight men arrested in a room in the rear of the Bell Telephone company's building were fined s5 each and the fines were paid. They were arrested shortly before noon on Sunday by Detectives Bod eker, Hamilton and Patton. and Police man Disheroon.
 Ten negroes and two white men who were caught shooting craps in saloon on South Twentieth street early Sunday morning were tried and the negroes were fined $10 each and the white men s15 each. Judge Feagin fined the white men more than the negroes because he thought 1t wrong for white men and negroes to play together.
 The nine men caught at Lakeview were fined $5 each. There was some doubt about some of them being in a game, and therefore the fine was made light
