 St. Edwards Church Notes: As Christmas is holy day of obligation in the Catholic church calendar, the services will be the same as on Sum- days, excepting that this year no formal sermon will be preached, and the exercises will be rather devotional than doctrinal, because the pastor must officiate at three services in different places before noon. The first mass will be in Staffordville at 7 o'clock, where the choir will sing the ! usual Christmas hymns and Miss Julia Simons will be organist. Miss Mary B. Hanley will be organist at St. Ed | wards church, assisted by several pieces from Lynch's orchestra. Only the ordinary Christmas music will be sung The first mass will be at 8. 15 and the second at 10. 15, as on Sun- lays. The interior of the church, the sanctuary, will be deco rated, as on other years, with green ;rees and festoons of laurel. The altar will be decked with flowers. The historical stable and manager will 1e erected in it's accustomed nook, to 'emind the little ones and their elders if what happened on the first Christ mas morn.
 While the breaking ont of small ,ox locally is unfortunate, it might be worse. All the cases are mild and he health authorities are making very possible effort to establish quarantine. No new cases re reported this morning. There re now five houses quarantined in own. Of these, one is in the bor- ugh and four in other parts of the own. Louise Gingras, residing on Brown avenue, is one of the patients. '. St. Germaine of Cooper Lane is ne of the victims and there are two t the Honow-W. S.. Walbridge and Hugh Jenkins. The home of the jwift family at Hydeville is also uarantined owing to the disease he moving picture theatre has been losed, and it is thought best to call if a number of social functions, in- luding the Masonic dance, the Coun- ry club assembly, the high school D lnmni meeting and the dance at St. idward's. The Christmas exercises a the churches will be carried out as Tanned. The closing of the moving icture house is unfortunate for the as this is his busy season. is hoped that the disease will be onfined to the cases already reported, nd every possible effort will be made with that end in view.
