Morning. noon and eve ming services have been conducted in connection with this unusual and impressive event. While the spe- cial services in connection with the iridium will close tomorrow night it has been announced that devotions will be held every Tues day noon and night for an indefin- ite period. They will be dedicated to St Joseph.
 Last evening the married wo- men attending the exercises were enrolled in the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. The altar of the Blessed Virgin was formally dedi- cated to that purpose and in the future the priests of the Immac- ulate Conception church will be vested with the authority and priv ilege of bestowing indulgences and blessings upon rosaries that were formerly and usually reserved for members of the Dominican Order
 Rev Francis O'Shea, administrat- or of the Church of the Immacu- late Conception as well as Father O'Hearn, is particularly gratified with the response of members of the parish and other churches of the city to the special devotions. The attendance at noon hour has been particularly edifying.
