Palm Sunday, celebrated to-mor- row throughout the Christian world, represents q great event, and it ush- CTS in the final week of lent. These last days are the most important in this season of fast and penitence, and by the various services conduct ed in the churches, by means of special Holy Week observances, the scenes of the sorrowful events of the original Holy Week are relived again.
 Palms will be distributed Sunday at church services. This custom Is for the purpose of bringing to mind the glorious entry of Christ into Jerusalem, when the multitude, 50 alive to the occasion shouted in joy at Christs approach, and strew palms along the way. Very shortly this same enthusiasm failed to rally to Christs aid, and His rejection by His people formed part of the ser- les of tragic events commemorated next week on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
 These same events contain the most tragic of events In the history of the world. Christ, who was for three years, preaching. doing works of mercy, was betrayed and suffered the ignominy of death on the cross. As Is related In the Bible, Christ was rejected and a robber taken in exchange. Such events as this and others are brought to mind by the religious observances next week. Holy Thursday typifies the last sup per when Christ instituted the Holy Eucharist. The procession in the Catholic churches next week Thurs day are in memory of this event. Following comes Good Friday when | hn aauiA nf hyfu iu ntt, I by the priest and the mass of the pre- -sanctlfied forms the morning de- votion. On this day Is commemor- ated the most tragic and solemn of events, Christ's death on the cross at an hour judged to be three O. clock in the afternoon. which time therefore credits the three hours agony as lasting from twelve noon until three o'clock. ''-i These three hours are observed by services in many Catholic churches with appropriate exercises for every minute of the time between twelve and three. Stations of the cross are the usual Good Friday afternoon and evening devotion, also the ador- alton of the cross.
 During the course of the week beginning Wednesday 1t Is also custom to chant the tenebrae. This observance IS noted III many large churches. the priests chanting tho office.

 On Holy Saturday the lenten fast ceases at noon. In early days. ac- cording to n former editor of the Catholic Historical Review, "the ceremonies which now begin on Easter or Holy Saturday were mere- ly watch service held during the last hours of the day, and 1t termfn- atcd at midnight. There is q sugges- ton of this practice in the Mass of Easter Saturday. which at the pres cnt time Is much abbreviated, and in the Divine Office. which is obli- gatory for priests where Maths have only one nocturn, during Easter week.

Indignant Citizens
 Protests Audit Business


 The meeting in the aldcrmanic chamber yesterday attracted people who had opinions. but whether they did not care to give expression to them in a public way, or did not get a chance, Is not known. but they took occasion to unbosom themselves in the lobby. one man wanted to sec the speaker who was ashamed of Waterbury and another inquired if there was no way of stopping this business of spending public money conducting audits that amount to nothing. He claimed that for the past nine or ten years Waterbury has paid out about half a million dollars to outsiders to have accomplished nothing but the way of better government, but sub jected the city to much undesirab ble and undcserved notoriety.
