BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS.
St. Mary's Church Lighted With
Electric Lamps.
A MARKED CHANGE OVER GAS
LIGHTING.
Brilliant Effect Promised At To-
morrow Evenings Service
In The Church.

When time on its onward march
brings with il changes and progress,
st. Mary's II. c. Church has also
made rapid strides and tomorrow
night will be seen the highest PIN
nacle vet TO be reached in the way
of decorations.
st. Mary's will bc flood of light
at the closing OF the Feast of the I'M
maculate Conception. Electricity has
been installed and in the auditorium
of the church and the altar there Will
blaze forth over three hundred electric
lights. These lights will enable all
to see the grandeur of the architectural
construction of the church. The
lights are SO distributed as TO make
this possible without OVERRIDING it.
This work has consumed quite n
time until il is now practically COM
plete. The work has been carried on
during the spare hours of those who
have labored to bring about its con
summation. Mr.. Raymond Connell,
ehief electrician aboard the U. >. >.
Hartford, had the planning and su-
perintending of this work, and he
was assisted by Brothers Aloysius and
George. and Mr.. VIM. II. Wilson. There
are l2i lights on the altar, ranging
from four to sixteen candle-power, all
10 volts. In the body of the church
there are eight combination gas and
electric fixtures, each carrying the gas
and five l6-candle power ITO volts
frosted lamps, making total of
forty lights.
on the upper part of the pillars
there are brass bands, each carrying
eight lights, making total of ~
lights. Probably one of the most ap-
preciated set of lights are those in the
choir loft, and anyone who has to
contend with the flicker and flare of
the gas will quickly realize this when
they get the steady glow of the electric
bulb. In the choir loft there are two
large brackets of eight lights each, one
on either side of the organ, ana one
three-light fixture for the students
and brothers and lights around back
of the organ.
on entering the church vestibulc
there will be found one three-light
ceiling fixture, where formerly there
was gas which on windy nights could
not bc lighted, as ii soon was out,
but now this has been overcome. Just
inside of the church there has been
placed one four-light and vse1-t szee-
light ceiling fixtures. All of these
lights are supplied from switch
board in the sacristy. The wiring eN
cept that on the organ and altar, is
open work and run on knobs and
cleats, and is of large carrying ca
pacity. The wiring around the altar
and organ is in moulding. The fix
lures are of buff brass and will not
tarnish.
These lights will all be turned on
at the 7.30 service tomorrow night
for the first time, although they have
been tested, and those who have seen
them have been astonished at the de-
lightfuk change from gas. Although
there are quite number of different
circuits so as TO control each set OF
lights independently, still there has
been provision made for extra light
ing when required. There are total
of 800 electric lights in the church.

The Redemptorfst Fathers, however,

WARFIELD'S SECOND TERM.
DR.. George Wells FavOrs Governors
denomination.

Or. George Wells, the leader OF the
Democratic party of Anne Arundel
county, has announced that he favors
the denomination of Governor Edwin
Warield DIR. Wells position will
carry great influence with il in the
county and practically assures that
Governor Warfield viii receive iho
support Of Anne Arundel county in
the state convention should he desire
or consent 10 denomination.
DR.. Wells believes that Governor
Wariiold has made a good chief exec
utive and particularly approves of the
fact that he has acted on every mat
ter as it appeared right 10 himself,
without allowing dictation from others.
He thinks that the administration has
been marked success along all lines
and belisVes that the Governor should
be renominated.
When asked il he believed that The
fact that no Governor had been re-
elected since ths adoption of the Con
stitution of 1851, made the renomina-
tion of Governor Warfield inadVisable,
DR.. Wells replied that he did not con
slider the custom based on sound
foundation. mo Democrats have
been re elected, Z" he said, because
they have not been renominated, and
Governor Lowndes was defeated when
he ran the second time because the
people did not wish the State to reamin
in the hands of the Republicans.
There is no reason why n Governor
who has made a marked success as
chief executive should not be renomi-
mated and reelected.
There is very strong sentiment
for Governor Warheld's denomination
in this city and the rest of the county.
Local citizens feel kindly towards him
in particular because he has made
his residence here, as the Constitution
requires, in an actual sense, and be-
cause he has taken much interest in
everything that pertains TO the city.
