Ceremonial of the Supper
After this there Is the ceremonial
celebration of the Supper, in which
the 13 bishops hand plates to the
pope, who pours out wine and water
for them to drink. On this day the
altars are all stripped and there is
set up in the nave of st. Peters the
grand penitentiary where cardinal
sits to give absolution for mortal sins,
which are beyond the sphere OF or
binary confession.
In the streets on the evening OF
Thursday the shops Of sausagemak-
ers, candlemakers, and pork dealers
are decorated and Illuminated in a
most fantastic way. The NEST promi-
nent object in each is statue of the
Virgin and Child enshrined amidst
candles and flowers.
On Good Friday the air of gloom is
accentuated in the churches. The
pope Is robed in red but he neither
| wears his ring nor gives his blessing.
| ,fhe soldiers arms are reversed and
all decorations possible are stripped
from the affairs. Yet Notwithstanding
the peculiar solemnity Of the religious
services of the day the shops, public
Offices and places Of business. also the
palazzos, where pictures are shown
remain open as usual-the only indi
cation OF the religious character OF
the day outside of the churches being
the muteness Of the church bells. Th!:
disregard of Good Friday In Rome
particularly strikes the Protestant Wis
itors who come from countries wher'
the day is observed reverently nnt
quietly.

also the pope attends ut st. Peters

tempt has been made to settle the

the plant to leave Bridgeport and go
back to New York

demand for an increase in wages, he

to pay increased wages at the present
time. but he denies that there is an
attempt to lower wages. He says that

Pittsburgh Leader, yesterday after
noon was so ill that members of the
family were summoned to the bed
sdie. Her physicians, however re-
fused to give up hope and early in
the evening were so confident that she
would survive that they arranged for
a conference to be held here this
morning with DR.. John B. DeaYer of
Philadelphia.
The accident, which, DR.. Schill
Decker, one of the physicians, said
was the primary cause of her illness
and death, occurred when she was
violently thrown on the ship during
a storm.
The effects of the injury were not
Immediately serious, nevertheless, and
although she steadily failed in health,
after her arrival home, even those
m ost closely associated with her were
not aware of the decline. Mrs.
Moore's trip to Europe was under
taken at the request of Secretary of
Labor James J. Davis for the pur-
pose of making an intensive study
among prospective emigrants to the
United States. She later appeared
before a committee of congress and
gave a detailed report of the obser-
vations abroad.
In addition to her husband, there
were present at her bedside during
her last moments, her daughter, Mrs.
Dorothy CaIibit and her niece, Mrs

Stories as TO the real cause of the

this morning Sebegape claims that in
1918, with his wife and child he went
to live at Mrs. Wilson's home Mrs
Wilson took a dislike to his wife he
claims and after living there about
six months she is alleged to have put

she tried to persuade him to leave

also claims that he has been intimate

City to Benefit.
1t is also possible that a greater
saving will be noted at the end Of
the next fiscal year when a check
up of the paving work now being
executed under the direction of Direc-
tor of Public Works George Cough
lin. with city employed men, is made.
With the city doing the work. the
huge profits usually made by private
contractors will be eliminated and put
into the city treasury.
Mayor Atwater Is greatly pleased
with the quality of work done thus
far and stated today that the State
street work is better by far than
work he has seen executed by private
contractors.
Volunteer Cuts.
Another great saving made during
the past fiscal year was the volunteer
salary cuts accepted by employees of
most of the city departments.
Many needed repairs in the offices
of City Hall have not been made be-
cause Mayor Atwater thinks that the
city is already too greatly in debt to
spend further money on repair work.
His own office needs painting and new
electric fixtures, but the mayor has
declined to have the work. done be-
cause he believes that he can get
along with the Office the way it is and
save the city money.
