Differences in the Mass.

The Rev. John Price, writing i'm tho
Pittsburg Observer on the difference
between Il Low a High and Solemn
Mass, and a Nuptial Mass and an or
dinary Mass. says:
!. 1f We regard the cSscucc only or
the Mass there is no difference what
ever; for the essence of The Mass con-
SistS i'll the conservation and the COM
plcting communion by the rcIrhrnnt
Now conScrration and communion by
the cclebrant take place in every
Mass. Therefore Masses, whatever he
the distinguished appclatons he
slowed upon them, are all cssru-
TALLY the same, namely the sacrifice
of tile Body and Blood OF Jesus Christ,
offered to God by the priest for the
living and the dead
Masses are chiefly called for the
sake Of distinction, Low, High, Sol
cmn. pontiiical and pal,al, according
To the different manners in which
they are said, or according to the dig
| nifty of tho cclehrant, or according to
the ceremonies attached to the ceIc-
l1raton.
A. Low Mass is ono said WITHOUT
amy chant. Low Mass when said bv
Il priest outside the stated hour for
public service is raIl"d II private
Mass: at the hour, public because said
for the people: or because il may be
said in an oratory, or with only -
server us assistant. A Low Mass
may be Il public one, if said TO give
the faithful an opportunity to satisfy
the preccpt of henring Mass.
High Mass differs in This sole cir
cumstancc from IL Low, that it is in
terspersed with chant and is aided
by IL choir.
Solemn High Mass is ono sung by
cclcbrnnt, deacon and sub deacon ana
enriched with peculiar ceremonies.
ponttical High Mass is ono ccIc-
brated by u bishop. It's ceremonial
is more elaborate and the officers OF
tho Mass more numerous.
papal Mass is the Mass with IFS
own magnificent ceremonial celc-
bratcd by the Sovereign Pontirf alone.
g. The difference between IL "Nup-
tiaI' Mass and any other is in the
word nuptial and in tho prayers and
other ceremonies proper to it. The
whole wording OF the Mass except the
portion called "ordnary" and the
part called canon" is expressive OF
marriage instruction, bencdrtion, i'll
dissoubility, invocation of Heavens
blessings on the bride, for which the
Mass is interrupted after the pnt"r
Noster, and the further Invocation of
q blessing on both spolscs.
A Requiem Mass is ono warp and
woof Of prayer and doctrine in its
vocal portions rccitcd or sung for the
poor souls.
"MnSscs of the Saints" are those
whose proper part have been COM
posed to honor apostles, martyrs con-
fCsSOrS who were bishops, coffcsSors
who were not bishops, virgins and
other women who have been saintcd.
I Masses also are distinguished ac-
cordins; as they arc said for any spc-
ciaI purpose, whether il be of public
nature, or OF private intention. These
Masses are called VOtivc Masses and
arc free to be celebrated whenever an
open day or d semi-double feast oc-
ours. Such Masses are of the Blessed
"remission Of SIM "in time Of war;
"for peace" during a plague" "fo1
the sick" "for travelcrs,' etc. etc.

and the same number taken from

The situation in the South this year
from Republican viewpoint Is most
complicated and puzzling one. and tho
hardest thing OF all Is that there Is
no Mark llama barrel with which TO

the last two years of my alme in

my story. hope it will amuse you.
Pedee came upon the table that
had been made bare for him. His
head dropped his feathers were limp
and ragged, and he walked slowly
and with a limp Now and then ne
would stop and rest and his little bill
would open as he breatheI hard.
"EIe is hungry" explained the con-

Is hungry and he will steal"
Then Pedee crept up to n small
crib that had corn in it. He looked
about stealthily. like criminal.
Then he put his bill through one of
the cracks. but before he secured a
ke'nal he was caught.
He comes before a judge" said
the prisoner; "a Judge like the one
who sent me here"
From the court room Pedee went
to prison.
For time the bird appeared quite
cheerful, then he became nervous.
and finally depressed. He would
rest his bill on the prison floor and
be half on one side. as if sick. For
five minutes he played his part with
such realism that not whisper came
from his spectators.

Because OF the refusal OF distin-

was the moving spirit. the affair has
been called of, but the work Is to go

high finance organs of New York. The
truth IS these organs arc the inspira-
ton OF the movement. but as the Dem
ocrats or the country know the char

cacy of any man or measure is re-
sarded by the Democracy as a sum

which Is moi often, realize that the

Bryan from the leadership of the par

their Republican allies to give out in
terviews and make speeches In Con-

Bile 1t would be for the Democrats to
elect Bryan. Such an interview was
published with Congressman Gros-
venor few days ago. and such a
speech was delivered In the House on
Friday last by Congressman Keiffer

the tables compiled by them are about

published by newspaper. They bear
every evidence OF having had much
time and careful consideration.
Following is q summary OF the ia
bles:

about 100 of the nomination; his total
may increase in subsequent ballots
but not sufficiently to nominate him.
Hughes will be 1876 or more behind
Taft on first ballot, hut viii Increase
on every ballot until nominated.
on no ballot Will majority of any
candidates vote be transferred to
Taft.
Tie candidate who. although his
vote may be large to begin WITH will
lose votes the quickest Is Cannon.
When majority of Cannon's vote
goes to Hughes, following break
away of some Cannon votes to Taft
the Pennsylvania vote Will follow the
bulk OF the Cannon vote to Hughes
on the same ballot.
When that movement ia seen. the
Foraker vote will go to Hughes
The Fairbanks ANA Ia Toilette
votes will endure the longest, but Il
the balloting is prolonged, enough
votes to nominate Hughes will go from
them. ~ "a
while the tables show Hughes
nomination on the fourth ballot, 1t Is
quite possible that balloting may be
prolonged, the ballots not sutStan.
