it t!io
some-
times the Painful Week, I. c; the
Week of Austerities, also the Sor
rowful Wfk. St. Chrysostom (?ays:
'We call it the Croat Week; not that
II consists of a greater number of
,i,v tleit Die ,i.-ivn nro longer :
but on account of the gr-at things
which Cod has wrought in it; for on j
these days was the tyranny of tiio
devil overthrown, death disarmed, i
tin and its curse
taken awav. heaven
opened and mad accessible, and
lin n made fellows with the angels."
The observance of Holy Week is
mentioned by Ireliaeus towards the
' ! 1 .
end of tne secoiiil ceniury; niii
Fusebhis evidently believed that it
dated from the Apostolic times.
The chief object of the church in
this week Is to celebrate the passion
and. death of her Redeemer: and the
ceremonies are the most elaborate,
impressive, dramatic and sublimely
symbolic of all the weeks in the
whole year. In cathedral and col
legiate churches, where they have a
in merous clergy, they are performed
wilh a poinp and magnificence truly
ir. posing: but even in the smallest
parish church, where there Is a local
pastor, they are conducted with all
the revert'tice and solemnity possible.
Palm Sunday.
Talm Sunday, the first day of the
Holy Week, derives its name from
the ceremony of blessing and dis
tributing palms, which are borne by
the clergy in solemn procession, in
commemoration of Christ's triumphal
-mr.v-ix Jerusalem; when many of
the Jows cut down branches from the
trees, and strewed then In the way
before Him. The name. Palm Sun
day, is ancient; for it is mentioned
in the life of Knthymlus. who died
in 172.
The clergy walk In processU n
through the church, ana lmss into
the vestibule. Then the cantors re
enter, and sing- the hymn: '"Glory.
Praise and Honor. At last the sub
ccaeon knocks at the door with the
thaft of the cross: It opens, and the
whole body inarch up the church. In
St. Peter's the door is walled t:p with
masonry, from which the supports are
removed; so that, at. hte stroke of
the cross, the whole thing" topples
down, and the procession enters
through the breach; symboliyiiig
Christ opening heaven to the just
rlter His resurrection.
Then conies the singing" of the Pas
sion, from the Gospel of St. Matthew.
This is one of the masterpieces Of
Gregorian chant; and might almost
be described as an oratoria. It con
sists of four principal parts: that of
the narrator, sung by a barytone;
the parts of Pilate, Peter, the maid
H'lvants and others being taken by
n tenor; the part of Christ by a full
round bass; and the "Tnrba." of Jew
ish mob, is often rendered with fine
effect by a male chorus In three or
ft ur-part harmony.
Holy Thursday.
On Holy Thursday the morning or
1he church, over the passion and
death of her Ixird, Is momentarily in
teirnoted; for she cannot forget that.

rounded by lights and (lowers, till 111 '
following morning. Mediaeval writers
conned this procession with Christ's
journey to the Mornt of Olives.
Next, the high altar Is stripped, as
Christ was stripped of His garments.'
In many churches the ceremony of
washing the feet Is perforin. -d. in
imitation of Christ, washing the feet
of his disciples, when He gave the:
new command to love one another.
In Rome the Pope washes the feet
or thirteen poor priests; while Fran
cis Joseph, of Austria, and several
other Catholic soverigns, perform n
similar ceremony. The Council of To
ledo, held in fiPf, refers to this rite
as a recognized custom even at that
time.
Finally, in cathedral churches tin
bishop, on this day. blesses the holy
oils, for use in conferring the sacra
ments of confirmation, holy orders
and extreme unction.
Good Friday.
On Good Friday, tlia climax,,of the
church's sorrow and grief at the dca'h
of her Iord is readied. Her ministers
enter the sanctuary clad in black vest
ment, and prostrate themselves at
full length on the steps of the altar,
while a single linen cloth is spread
over it. Then the history of the
Passion of our Lord according to St.
John is sung; showing bow the Law
and the Prophets were verified by
the gospel.
Then the celebrant rends numerous
prayers for all classes of persons;
not excluding schismatics, heretics,
Jews and Pagans, to show that Chris'
died for all. The genuflection is
emitted before, the Irni.ver for the
Jews, out of detestation for the
feigned obeisance with which they
mocked Christ their "King."
Next, the cross, which has been
veiled In black. Is slowly uncovered;
the priest and his assistants singing
three times: "fiohold the wood of the
cross, on which' lu ng the salvation
of the world;" and the choir answer
ing each time: "Come, let us adore."
The uncovered crucifix is then laid on
the steps of the altar, and the clergy,
pfter having removed their shoes,
like Mises before the "burning bush"
cud made three genuflections and
prostrations, humbly kiss the lifeless
image of the Redeemer.
It is a sight that often softens the
heart of the hardened criminal, to
rrt. the entire congregation, men ana
women, young and old, rich and poor,
sinners and saints, approaching the
sanctuary railing, and devoutly kiss-

Holy Saturday.
On Hojy Saturday the service lo

triple candle is lighted, symbolizing
the Trinity and the Light of Christ,
it is carried in procession fivni the
vestibule of the church to the sanc
tuary. The large Paschal candle is
also blessed, being a symbol of
Christ, the Light or the World; and
five grains of incense are fixed In it,
in memory or His live wounds, and ol
tin spins with which He was anoint
ed in the tomb. It is lighted from
the tiiple candle. The use of the I'as
chal candle dates back at least, to
the filth century. The Fxultet, a
hvinii of trivniphaiit praise, at
tributed by the critic .Martine to St.
Atignstin, is sung while blessing the
candle.

the catholicity of tile church, and the
worldwide efficacy of her sacraments.
Returning from the font, the Litany
of the Saints is sung, the ministers
lying prostrate before the altar, while
it is decked with (lowers and orna

Washington, I). C., April 11. The
st.uidpat congressional program cf tin1
Republicans has been brought up with
a round turn by the Democratic mem
hers of congress under the leadership
of lion. John Sharp Williams, and the
Republican leaders are now working j
ovirtime to do business with ut ib-- '

filibustering, but. he defined the fili-biiste.-
as the man engaged in prevent
ing legislation, while, "we." he said,
'"are engaged in the business of trying
to force legislation." In a speech last
week Mr. Williams indicated the Hem
oornlic position and showed they wiy.'
determined to prevent any lull from
passing by unanimous consent and not
to alh w any departure from what the
rules reipiired, until the Republican
leaders would allow some of the legis
lation, which he named, and which had
been recommended by President
Roosevelt to be considered.
Republican Gag Rule.
The Republican leaders, finding
themselves helpless, have been forced
to bring in a new special rule to pre
vent the Democrats from having their
way; and this new rule Is so drastic
that even limited debate Is prohibited
on le use bills which the senate has
amended, which in future will be sent
to conference, or the amendments
ngrc d to, without any intervening mo
tion cf any kind being allowed. So
the Senate can tack on any amend
ment it -pleases, and the representa
tives of the people will have no voice
for or against such amendments. This
would appear ti be unconstitutional;.
Th rule also provides that for the
remainder of the session a motion to
take a recess shall he privileged, and
have precedence over a motion to ad
journ; and that the questh n shall be
decided without debate or amendment
That Is the Ilrst time that the rule
that a motion to adjurti is always in
order, has been overridden and virtu
ally rescinded. A further provision
of the order was that, during the re
niainder of the session it shall be in
'order to close debate by motion in the
lit use In fore going into committee of
the whole, which motion shall not be
subject to ell lit r amendment or de-

The fact is the Republicans are In
a hole, and have Irst. their temper,
and will discover later how these
rules may come back to plague them.
As no Republican protested against,
this drastic rule, none of them can
protest when their own turn comes
and the autocratic, leaders give them a
dose of their own medicine. On Mon

so the Deiuociatic filibuster, as th 1
Ri public mis call it, is having its goo ',
effect. The President, It is said, has

buildings bill unless c tigress agrees
to increase the number of battleships.
The New York World is authority for
the statement that many Republican
congressmen have called on the pies

statement repudiating the proffered
assistance of the Democrats to pass
some of the legislation lie has recom
mended, "but be has declined abso
lutely t do so." His friends say he
still hopes that enough Republicans
will break nway from Cannon to en
able the Democrats to put through
those sections of his message for
vhich thev are fighting. It has long
bi en considered that the lower nous
of congress has net been a delibera
tive b dy; but new, under this new
rule, the Republicans, for partisan
purposes, have reduced it to v lower
level than any of the popular assem
blies of Europe, not excepting the

there is a revolt against, the state tick

the TaftCox faction are withdrawn

says there has been a great reversal

efforts of the Taft manager to secure

an extent among people who were
shocked by the stories of wanton
cruelties in the experiments upon
living animals, industriously spread
about bv the agitators, that bills to
regulate and restrlrt such experi
ments were introduced in the state
hgislature. Now the physicians of
the city have become aroused and
have shown that these stories of
atrocities are false and the Hoard of

tions declaring that all the advances

past twenty years which have re

have been based to a great extent
upon experiments performed on liv
