LEXINGTON
Catho Hes May Soon Erect
Another Costly
Church.

Lexington will soon have another
Catholic church, which when COM
pleted will equal any in the Coving-
ton diocese. The new st. Peters
church which the congregation con-
templates building will probably be
erected on the south side OF Barr
street, near Limestone, on the prop
erty owned by the late Judge Watts
Parker. A deal has practically been
closed for the residence occupied by
Judge Parker and the building ad-
Joining, known as the Parker flats,
and II the deal goes through the
buildings on these lots will be torn
down and the new church erected in
their stead. When Lexington was
divided into two Catholic parishes
about two years ago one parish en-
braced the old st. Paul's Cathedral,
larss and commodious building.
The other parish took st. Peters
church, on North Lexington street,
for its place OF worship, which has
been found too small for the needs
of the congregation. The price paid
for the Parker property Is said to
have been $4,000, and the church
building and parsonage to be erected
by the congregation OF st. Peters
will cost about 100000.

GOOD FRIDAY
Only Day In the Year On
Which There IL No
Mass.

The only day in the year on which
properly speaking there is no mass
Is Good Friday. The ceremony
which takes its place is called the
mass of the presanctified, that is TO
say, gifts consecrated before, because
the celebrant there offers TO the
alteration of the people, and con-
sumes himself, the host consecrated
in the mass of Holy Thursday. The
clergy go to bring from the repos-
ltiry the host reserved In the chalice.
The altar candles are lighted to re-
ceive the Blessed Sacrament. The
absence OF lights in the preceding
ceremonies recalls to us the dark
ness which accompanied the death OF
our God. In this mass the church
omits that which has direct eonnec-
ton with the mysteries of Calvary
and all the prayers in which men
ton is made Of the communion of the
faithful, or that under the species OF
wine, both OF which have no place
In this day.

and this year even topped their score
OF that tournament, proving that
they are consistent performers. The

Henry Wattersom's Tribute DO Thos. +. Ryan

Can this Ryan, who is Democrat, Vir-
ginian, Watterson friend, no-axe-to- grind
patriot be the same man who scooped the
Equitable Life Insurance Company and PIT q
Republican zaeo- breaker = Paul Morton = in
charge of it?
Can this Ryan be the same man who organ
lied the Tobacco Trust, sent leaf tobacco down
to five cents a pound, and droUo the desperate
producers to NIGHT RIDING AND BLooDsHED?
Can THIS be the Ryan who bought the nom
nation Of Sheehan's partner Judge Parker
in the year 1904? And who, after the nom
nation Of such a Wall Street corporation man,
made no effort to eject him over the other Wall
Street c01poratiora man, Roosevelt?
Can this Watterson friend be the same man
that carried the Virginia delegation, in his
private car, to the Democratic National Con-
vention the year that Parker received the
Ryan Belmont nomination?
No ane TO grind? OF COURSE NOT. Ryan is
Wattersons friend: Ryan is a Democrat:
Ryan is Virginian: Ryan is man: Ryan is
a human being: Ryan eats and drinks: Ryan
wakes an4 sleeps Ryan is a mortal: Ryan is
a biped: Ryan is little lower than the angels.
How could he have any axe to grind?
When Watterson asked Ryan for campaign
funds, for Woodrow Wilson, his intentions
were good Like Taft, he meant we'll. And
when such men as Taft and Watterson meant
we'll, we forgive them much, as we do the
women who have loved much
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-02-01

Besides, in asking Ryan for campaign
money, last year, Mr. Watterson was doing
nothing new. It was probably he who asked
Ryan to chip in, toward Bryan's election in
1903 I0U must bear IN mind that Wctters0n
2c08 Bryan'8 r5ght-hGpd man. You MUST NOT
FORGET THAT RYAN AND BELMONT GAVE BRYAN
$4,000. Then, as now, Ryan was Democrat:
he was Virginian he was a Watterson
friend; and he had no axe to grind. He Just
had some money to throw away: that was all.
And if the truth were known, he pr05obzv
care ten times as much to Taft as he gave to
Bryan.
DIDN'T Carnegie swear that he gave the
Bryan fund $15.000 in 1900? And wasn't
be to give $4,000 more? Yes. Then he
f1onped to Mckinley. Why?
These facts tell:
Carnegie's lawyer, Knox, was made y. S.
Attorney the partner of said Knox
was made a Carnegie Director: the Dinglev
tariff was passed: the Steel Trust was formed;
and Calnegie's profits jumped from Sc 100000
to $4O,000000 year
What q curious illumination Mr. Waiter
sons confession t5ro1os upo2a the Bryan co1a-
pafgn Of 1908!
The Hon. W. J. Peerless chose Watterson
as his guide, philosopher and friend And
apparently one of his reasons for doing so was,
that Ryan is a Democrat: he is a Virginian:
he is Watterson's friend; and he has no axe
to grind.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-02-01

NE are told by assiduous newsgatherers
w that Mr.. Henry Watterson is in Wash
ington, nursing carbuncle This troublesome
disorder assaulted his head That may account
for some of his peculiar performances,
recently.
One of his said peculiar performances was,
his tribute to Thomas Fortune Ryan. Of and
concerning the said Thomas Fortune, the dis
tinguished Kentuckian said:
''He Is a Democrat. He as q V11g54,s07o. lie
Is n12J FRIEND He hos no 0soe to grind"
And SO forth.
What good news that isl Mr. Ryan is
Democrat, he is Virginian, he is Mr.. Wat
tersons friend, AND HE HAS NO AXE TO GRIND.
Is this the same Ryan that chased old Jake
Sharpe, and made that grand old rascal drop
the New York street-railway franchise which
Jake had bought from the boodling Alder
men? Is Ryan the same man that was so
much greater rascal than old Jake Sharpe,
that he made the older knave turn loose the
stolen goods?
Is this Mr.. Ryan the same man who sold
mythical railroad to his own Metropolitan, in
New York; and who kept his share Of the
plunder-some 0O0O-until he was sued
for the money; and who then softly eased out
of the scrape by returning the loot?
Can this be the same Ryan who scooped
the Seaboard Railway, robbing his friend,
John SHELTON Williams, and then wrecking
the road?
