1t was intended that the ceremony
should be kept secret for as long as

was Forthcoming at once.
The first intimation that Miss Pres

the fact Of the marriage was no longer
a secret, was when, as she walked
down the dinnly lighted corridor lead
ing to the stage entrance at the Be

of laughing, screaming girls, who We'd

young woman.
A storm of the Chinese staple and

of the defenseless maid and while she
went down the, hall and across the

Who She is


$50 Miss Preston, as her stage name still
will be, is the daughter of w. II. Pres
tton, prominent business man of Los
Angeles while her husband is the
owner of a cigar store on West First
street. -.
l. No one but the bride and bridegroom
knew that they were to elope, and no
one was to know it until Mr.. Cattorn
had his new home on 1'wenty-eighth
street completed when they were to
move into it with glad acclaim and
then show the marriage certificate to
their. astounded families. But a tele-
gram about the license sent to The
Herald was the cause of the secret
being out
Miss Preston was educated for the
stage at the Cumnock School of lex
preston and was considered an exceeds
ingly bright pupil, her stage presence
being perfectly natural and free from
mannerisms.
AS is so often the case, the career of
q promising young actress will be cut
short by the ties of matrlmony. for
her husband declares that she shall no
| longer go upon the stage.
Thus behind the scenes of the Belas-
co last evening was enacted as pretty
a little story as ever could be pre-
! Aentedf to the audience in front OF the
| footlights.

Origin Of Word Mass.

The word mass in it's various forms
every land under the blue canopy of
heaven this word is used to denote
that great central act of Christian wor-
ship known as the sacrifice of the
! mass In Portugal the mass is called
missa; the Danes, Germans and French
call it messe. In Spain, South Amer
lea and Mexico, it is misa. In every
part of the United States and the
British empire it is called the mass.
The etymology of this word has long
been a mooted question. Many eminent
theologians and philologsts. from st.
Thomas Aquinas down, have written
on the subject, but not one of them,
as far as the present writer is aware,
has ever traced the word mass to the
Hebrew word Maseath, which signifies
the elevation or lifting up of the hands
whilst Offering sacrifice to God.
| In the Old Testament the mass was
foresladowed (Gen. 1879 and foretold
(Mal I'D. In the New Testament we
find it promised est. John 4:23, 6:51,
52), and celebrated by the first apostles
(Acts 1929.
Now, the first apostles were Hebrews
and the Hebrew word for the elevation
of the consecrated host in the mass is
"Maseath." This word is found in the
second verse of the 14Oth Psalm in the
Hebrew Bible: Let my prayer be di-
rected as incense in Thy sight: the
elevation of my hands (Maseath) as
evening sacrifice"
The word mass, therefore, was in all
probability first applied to the daily
sacrifice of the New Testament by the
Christian Jews of the early ages, who
were accustomed to witness the eleva-
ton of the priests anointed hands in
sacrifice tMaseath) every day. immedi-
ately after the conservation, when the
bread Of earth became the living bread
from heaven and the blod of the grape
became the blood of the true Vine.

IA Blow at the Fee System.

Another step toward the adjustment
Of the fee system for compensating
public officers, has been made in the
revised statutes, which say in section
272l:. ~:
Unless otherwise provided by law,
every county official in the state OF
Minnesota, receiving a stated salary,
shall receive the same in full compen-
sation for all services and expenses
whatsoever, and shall on the first Mon
day of each month file with the county
auditor correct statement of all fees
received by him, and turn the same
into the county treasury.
In the haste of preparation the code
has failed to provide for some necessary
expenses of county officers, and it has
cut the fee compensation Of some with
out making corresponding change in
salary, but these mistakes may be cor
rected later. The principle involved in
the section is good public policy. It
has been applied strictly in Hennepin
county since 1908, when the local dele
cation in the legislature framed an act
requiring all fees to be turned into the
county treasury. The same act fixed
the salaries of county officers and their
employees, and declared that such sal,
aries should be Gin full compensation
for all services rendered. The offices
Of sheriff and clerk of courts, especially
had been fat pickings for politicians
but have been placed on a business ba.
SIS Ramsey county clings to the fee
system, and it has been the rule in the
smaller counties of the state. Even in
the code the sheriffs and clerks of
courts are given their compensation
from fees. Other officers, however, are

all come to it eventually. The fee sys
