HOLT WEEK SERVICES.
Yesterday was Palm Sunday, and at St.
Peter's Church Palnl was blessed and dis
tributed to the congregation. To day be
gins Holy Week and there will be services
at the Catholic and Episcopal churches,
every day during the week. At theformer
mass will be celebrated at 7.30 A. M., on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Next
Thursday Will be Maunday»Thursday, so

"Mandatum," etc., John 13, 34: "I give
you a new command, that you love one
another as I have loved you,
sung in the chilrch oh that day. During
the Gloria tiie bells are rung, after which
they are silent until Holy Saturday, to
honor the silence of our Saviour during his
Passion, and express the mourning of the
Church. The Priest consecrates two hosts
at the mass, and one is taken to a reposlta
ry prepared for its reception which will be
handsomely decorated. The church will be
open until ten o'clock on Thursday evening
so that the faithful may have an opportu
nity to visit the church and give thanks to
their Lord for the blessings conferred by
tbe institution of the Blessed Sacrament.
Next Friday will be good Friday, and the
Passion will be read at the morning service,
after which the congregation adore our Lord
Crucified, which they express by the venera
tion paid to the Cross In kissing it. After
this ceremony the Sacred Host is brought
from the repositary to the main altar and
the service Is concluded. Next Saturday
will be Holy Saturday, and mass will be at
8 o'clock. The altar, deprived of its orna
ments on Maunday-Thursday, Is again

tory and the Antiphin, called the Commu
nion are omitted at this mass. Tbe Pas

aromatic spices that embalmed him in the
sepulchre. The lighting of the Paschal
Candle 16 a representation of Christ arising
from the dead. Tho Church blesses holy
water on this day. The Priest divides the
water in the form of a cross to teach that
it confers grace and sanctity, by the merits
of Christ Crucifed. He touches the water
with his hand praying that it may be
free from all impressions of evil spirits. He
signs it thrice with the sign of the Cross
to bless it in the name of the Holy Trinity.
He|separates it with his hand, and casts
out some of It towards the four parts of the
world. He breathes thrice upon it in the
form of a Cross, desiring God to bless it
with the infusion of His Holy Spirit. He
plunges the Pascbal Candle thrice into it,
praying that the Holy Ghost may descend
upon It as he did at the baptism of Christ
in the waters of the Jordan. He mixes
|t with holy oil and chrism with it to signify
that baptism consecrates those who receive
it, to God. f

Daring and Desperate Attempt to Mob the
Consolidation Bank, Philadelphia.
Considerable stir was caused upon the
otherwise qniet street this morning by the
discovery of a daring attempt to rob the
Consolidation Natldnal Bank, on Third
street above Vine. It appears that on the
26th of February the premisea No. 327
North Ttyrd street, adjoining the bank,
was leased by parties wllo represented that
they were going to open up a wood and
willow ware establishment, but wished first
to make a few alterations in .the building,
which was a little out of repair. To give
color to their assertion they moved In a lob
of boards and a few bricks and were at
work for a few days. So little was thought
of it that no attention whatever waa paid to
what pounding or noise was being carried
ob. The "wood and willow ware business"
that was to be carried on waa brought to
light this morning about 11 o'clock, for on
the watchman going up Into the Directors'
room, which Is on the third floor, he found
that a most daring attempt to rob the bank
bad been In progress for some time, judging
from the appearance of things. In the
southend of the room was a large hole,
two and a-half feet broad and twenty inches
in height, right through into the loft of
No. 327 North Third street. Startled at
the sight, he ran forward and saw the In
terior of the loft strewn with burglar's im
plements of the most approved description.
Scattered all the way down the stairs to the
front door ofthe building No. 327, were
articles of clothing and disguises. When
he had time to collect himself he gave the
alarm, and several detectives were ,on tbe
spot in a few minutes, and made a close
Inspection. They gathered together a fine
collection of burglar's tools, that showed
the robbers were , no mere tyros at their
business, but had gone Into the work on a
careful and systematic plan.
It appears that yesterday, when the night
watchman, who was on duty until 10
o'clock Sunday morning, was released, he
went out and tho door was closed. The
thieves must have been In the Director's
room at that time, prepared to descend, for
the green-baise door had been removed and
c&riied to one corner. But just at this
time the watchman who had been relieved
remembered that be had left his pocket
book in tbe bank and returned for It, and
finding the door shut, rang the gong. This
muet have created a panic, and once started
the frightened robbers hurried and left
everything behind them. They were evi
dently prepared to battle with ' only one
watchman, but their preparation for bis
ovartnrow was complete, and had it not
been for the opportune return of the one
who had departed for home In the morning,
his companion would have probably been a
dead man this morning, and the bank minus
its fire proof safe of valuables. The thieves
hae among their implements a very choice
pair of wristlets and a "toby," which
were undoubtedly set apart for the benefit
of Mr. Watchman, and which, in the office
of persuaders, were calculated to 'perform
their duty to the very letter.
The peculiarity of the "toby" Is Its powej
of knocking a man senseless, or even killing
him, without making as much as a scratch
and without making any noise whatever.
Tho presence of only one pair of nippers
is proof conclusivethat the burglars thought
they would have only one man to contend
with, and they had no idea whatever of
facing two. So when the gong was sounded
the men had either to proceed to their work
and attack the two men or else retreat,
and tbey chose to do the latter.
The wall was broken out; any minute
might bring some one into the Directors'
and then discovery was sure. These
room,
thoughts were revolving through their
minds upon the Instant of the gong ringing,
and the biblical truth, "The guilty flee
when no man pursuetb," was again exem
plified. Had they known the motive
which brought the watchman back, they
perhaps would have waited a few minutes
until his departure, and then tbe coast
would have been clear again. It was a
miraculous escape both for the watchman
detailed for Sunday work and for the bank.
The men had provided themselves with
both wedges and glycerine, but they de
pended mainly on the latter for a means by
which to enter the safe. The President
states that the peculiar construction of the
fire-proof rendered it impossible to open it
with wedges, and they most assuredly
would have been driven to tho nitro-glyce
rlne as a dernier-resort.
Bate of Deserved Beats.
The sale of reserved seats for tbe Hutch*
inson Family Concert, yesterday at James

lively, but there yet remains quite a num*
ber of desirable seats, and we would advise
an early call to those wanting to reserve
seats.
