PlcTUREsoUE CEREMONY AT ST. PA.L,s.

Holy Week has been unbroken by any attempt at gaiety The service at the Episcopal and Catholic churches have been well attended, and the impressive ceremonies particularly at the Catnohc churches have attracted many persons IT, respective of creed.
 Solemn high mass at St Paufs yes terday completely filled that edihee. Tne ceremonies, particularly the procession or nuns. acolytes, and a hundred or more children through the shadowy aisles, the singing of the ancient hymns. was the most beautiful and picturesque in the his tory of St Paurs, and gave an idea or the impressive beauty of similar process sions in great eathedrals
 The children, attired in white and wear ing veils of snowy whiteness and wreathes of white roses and lilies, sweet-faced nun advancing with them down the long aisle, the acolytes, with lighted candles held aloft the priests in gorgeous robes, made a scene of churchly spiendor and poetic beauty.
 The aisles were literally carpeted with flowers scattered by the white-robed children, in accordance with the ceremony of Maundy Thursday, their fragrance mingling with the incense The scene was full of color The black robe of nun here and tbere, the scarlet cassock Of an acolyte, the immaculate white of the veils on the bowed heads of the children. And back of this glowed the candles, and above 1t all was a silence that was the most impressive part of the ceremony. It was Victor Hugo who said that there are times when the soul kneels no matter what is the attitude of the body. But the procession passed amid the silence reverently kept by those who were at prayer. who remained upon their knees until the nuns, the acolytes, the last Of the children left the altar, upon which the candles still were burning.
 Then the aisles began filling. The bright flowers dropped by the children lay crushed on the dlmmed floors. Those who knew the full significance of the cere- mony picked here and there the roses, blessed in their sight
 The priests far away were kneeling in prayer. Then the great church was left with it's lighted candles, the flowers In its dim recesses. the small of incense still prevailing the air.

LEWIS jarvis" GUILTY.
Jury Conflicts Wickes of BLackmaiJ
To Be Sentenced December IS.

After being out little more than an hour the
fury in the case of Thomas Parmalee Wickes,
otherwise known as Lewis Jarvis" returned q
verdict Of guilty late yesterday afternoon Fol
lowing the return OF the verdict Justice Rogers
remanded Wickes to the Tonfbs and fixed De-
cember Is as the day for sentence.
Wickes was apparently much disturbed over
the verdict. He had not expected a conviction
At the opening of the trial yesterday Delos
McCurdv. counsel for the defence argued on
nine separate points for the dismissal of the
case.
The case of Thomas P. Wicl1es has been one
OF the most confusing "JekyI and Hyde cases
over discovered in this city The history OF the
GrinneIl- Weston litigation and the part which
Mr. wickes and Lewis Jarvis" played therein
reads like fairy tale. In 1901 Mr. Weston was
robbed of a small sum of money by a criminal
named Edward S. Raynor. DR.. Ashbel P. Grin
nell was arrested, as he bore a striking resem-
blance TO the thief. On proving his identity
he was discharged.
Dr. Grinnell later brought suit for $4,000 On
the first verdict DR.. Grinnell should have re-
Coived S12500 from Mr.. Weston, but the verdict
was set aside. The second trial resulted IN a
verdict of $4,000 but 1t cut TO $4,000.
Last winter, between the third and fourth
there he received letters purporting to come
from friend named Lewis Jarvis" They all
urged him to settle with DR.. Grinnell. Finally,
after long investigation. 1t was found that
Lewis Jarvis" and T. P. Wickes were one and
the same man.

RALLY TO OLD IRONSIDES.
Mass Meeting Called in Boston to
SAGE Historic Frigate.

Boston, Dec. 6.-Acting Mayor Daniel A.
whelton issued call this afternoon for pub
lie meeting OF citizens to protest against the
suggestion contained in the annual report of the
Secretary of the Navy concerning the historic
frigate Constitution, which is now laid up at the
Charlestown Navy Yard In his report Secre-
tary Bonaparte suggested that so much Of the
materials of the present Constitution as can be
shown to belong to the original Constitution be
transferred TO a new vessel to be named the
Constitution, and that the rest Of "Old Iron
sides be broken up The Secretary further
stated that if for purely sentimental reasons It
be thought that the ship be entitled to a mari
time end it might be used as a target for some
Of the ships Of the North Atlantic feet and sunk
by their fire.
The Secretarys suggestions have been met by
protests from many citizens Of Boston. Acting
Mayor Tyhelton believes the matter of sufficient
consequence to justify the holding of a public
meeting. He has designated next Saturday
evening as the time and Faneuil Hall as the
place Of this gathering.
In his call for the meeting the Acting Mayor
says:
I believe that such an act by the United States
government would be outrage upon the patri-
otto sentiment of the people of Boston, who
treasure the glorious memories of her prowess
in the great struggle for the honor and dignity
Vf the nation nearly a century ago

4TE PLUG FROM SHIP.

Leak an HeLEg OIaU.

Six slippery cells and a big founder did some
excellent repairing at the bottom of the
Scandinavian-Anne-ican liner Hellig Olav, on the
last trip to Copenhagen.
The steamer reached port late on Tuesday even
ing and the crew yesterday told of how the waters
Of the Cattegat were kept out of the ships hold
by the six eels and the big founder On the way
from Christiansand the Hellig OIav struck a rock
that was not indicated on Captain Holst's chart
and sixteen feet Of water poured into the hold
The suction drew in the big founder. which served
as an adequate but loose patch. After the pumps
cleared the hold OF the water the six slippery cells
wiggled around the founder, wedging him in as
tightly steel plate and the Of the Cate
cat were kept out until the Hellig Olav reached
Copenhagen. The splendid piece of pscatoriai
patching was discovered when the ship Went into
drydock, and of the more courageous narrators
the Hellig Olav yesterday declared that Cap
