Gus witnesses examined by him and

ment that the man under arrest was
the same nan he had seen near the
bomb wagon just before the explosion.
He said he crossed from the south to
the north side of Wall Street, in front

horse attached to the bomb wagon.
There were two men near the wagon,
he said, one of them being taller than
De Filipis.
Mr.. Dineen added that nothing had
come to his notice in connection with
the arrest of de Filipis which would
warrant him in presenting the matter
to the grand jury.

"Mr Smiths duties will in no sense
be, those of press agent or publicity
man. The committee feels that it
will have no difficulty in presenting the
story of any waste or corruption that

ers, the immense congregations, and
the huge collections.
The little singers" are twenty or
more little girls dressed i'm white, who
lead the procession and afterward sing
special hymns during the service.
Special preachers, of course, form
great attraction. In the days of cheap
er fares preachers were brought from
all parts of England and in some
churches the same preacher would be
engaged year after year.
AS to the congregation, it is a poor
day" if the church is not filled TO over
flowing at least twice, and the size OF
the collection leaves the poor south

more than 800 were made in one

Sermons Sunday" a Gala Occasion in
the Lives of People of Northern
England County.

Sermons Sundays" are state occa-
sions in Lancashire, writes n northern
parson in the London Daily Mail No
one who has not been present at one
of them can have any conception Of
what they are. Sermons" are held
annually i'm most OF the large towns
outside of Manchester
In normal times of regular employ
ment Sermons Sunday" is the Sunday
when new summer clothes are put on
for the first time. This year, of course,
the majority have had TO be content
with making old things do.
The day usually starts with a pro-
cession-Lancashire people love pro-
cessiOns outside their churches The
procession is intended partly as wit
ness TO the faith, partly to show the
size of the Sunday school.
In this procession, which consists Of
from $50 to 1,200 persons, ages range
from threeyear-old little toddlers to
men and women of eighty and even
more.
The technical Lancashire term for
the procession is walking"
Are you walking on Sunday?" is
probably the most frequent question on
peoples lips the week before sermons !;
and to be prevented from walking" is
almost tragedy.
81 once knew an old lady Of eighty
SIX" writes the parson, ''who claimed
TO have walked 81 times, for the first
she had been carried as an infant in
arms-and-her proudest boast was thai
she had never missed since"
Sermons" is time for renewing
old associations. If there is church
yard ii becomes veritable garden, so
much care and affection is bestowed
upon the graves during those few
days, and in many cases the evening
congregations are so large that an ex-
ira service has to be held in the
churchyard.
