Tolled Thirty-Three Times

AT the close of the three-houTs' de-
votional services at st. Anne Church
today, the bell tolled thirty three
times while the congregation we're on
their knees. This was significant of
the death of our Blessed Lord, who
hung upon the cross three hours. Per-
feet silence reigned in the church, and
the service was most solemn. During
the three hours devotional service
there were addresses upon the "seven
words spoken by Christ as He hung
upon the cross, viz: Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they
do" To-day shalt thou be with Me
in Paradise;' "Behold Thy Son
Behold Thy Mother;' - MY God I My
God Why hast Thou forsaken Me-"
II Thirst; 7" lit is finished;" "Fath-
er, Into Thy hands / commend My
Spirit" After the benediction .Nunc

kneeling. The thirty three bell strokes

INSTALLED A FOUNTAIN.
For Utility, Neatness And General
Appearance Gilbert's Cannot
Be ETcelIed.

A soda fountal and accessories
which is a standslg invitation TO
those who thirst TO AXE a drink, has
Just been installed in Gilbert's drug
store on State Circle. For utility,
neatness and general appearance it
cannot be exeelled in the city. 1t is
located directly opposite the store
door and catches the eye OF all passers
by or those who enter.
The base is of white Italian marble
with green marble trimmings of neat
design This IS surmounted by the
fountain proper, which is of clear
onyx at the apex of which is FROST
ed globe containing an incandescent
electric light globe. There are three
tanks TO the fountain. two for soda
water and the other for mineral
water. such as yichy. Below the foun-
tain and contained in the base are
two rows of syrup jars Of white por-
celain. The syrup is released by a
simple movement of a small handle
which operates ON an antiseptic, hard
rubber pump in each. A current of
cold air flows about the Fsyrup jars
and the coils of pipe leading TO the
fountain pass through a large ice
chamber.
All OF the handles and valves, as
we'll as the draining tray for glasses
are made of plain and frosted alumni
mum. The fountain base also con-
tains an automatic, rotary glass wash
er and cleaning box. Back of the
fountain and against the wall are be-
ing placed large mirrors and shelves
ON which will be placed the many
accessories of a well appointed soda
water dispensary. In the basement of
the store is located the oarbonized
water which is charged only as it is
needed, and which keeps it constant
ly fresh and sparkling.

Has Neutrality Been Violated.

The burning question of the hour
regarding Russia and Japan is
whether or not Rojestvensky has, by
the presence of his fleet in Kamranh
bay. 1t is thought that he may be
lingering there TO wait to be rein
forced by Nebogatoff. The consensus
of opinion would seem to be that
outside of the three-mile limit there
is no anchorage which, if this be the
case, neutrality has been violated on
the part of France. The Japanese
minister. Dr.. Mortono, has inter
viewed NJ. Delcasse, the French for
eign minister, his representations hav-
ing been in the nature of protest, or
for the purpose of receiving additional
assurances that France is determined
to enforce neutrality. However the
case may be, it requires but little in
the present crucial state of the war,
to arouse the representations of all
nations TO vigilance.

closed in a new lead coffin, with a
plate of glass over the face and chest.

vault of Holy Trinity Church in the
Avenue Alma where it will remain
until the American squadron arrives
to take it back to the United States.

PROTEST AGAINST MAssAcREs.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Citizens Hold a
LARGE Meeting in Boston.


Boston, Sept 18-The Armenian
American citizens of Boston and the
vicinity held mass meeting last night
to protest against the massacres ct
Armenians in the Caucasus.
The local Officials were charged with
having actually melted the disorders
and encouraged Moslem fanaticism.
"By seizing the weapons of the Ar
menians," the speaker declared. "the
Russian authorities deprived our com
patriots of their means of self-defense
and furthermore, did not use their mil
ttary power to protect them against
the attacks by Tartars but on the con
trary, allowed the leaders of these out
RACES to go unpunished"
The Russian government in entire
disregard of International law, per-
mttted the entrance into its territory
of armed Kurds to join the Tartars in
their murder and plunder.
I'VE protest against this barbarous
state of affairs in the Caucasisus. anc
appeal to the humane sentiments OF
the American people and government
to bring pressure to bear upon the
government at st. Petersburg and put
an end to the bloOdshed"
