Saturday, Christmas day, the Feast of the Nativity, was fittingly observed at St. Mary's church. There were four masses celebrated to accommodate the large congregations present. The high mass at 530 and a low mass at 7.30 were offered by Rev. Willlam H. Ken- nedy: the children’s mass at 9 o'clock the music for which was rendered by the Junior choir, singing the Christmas carols, and the high mass at 10.30 were celebrated by the rector, Rev. John H. Fitzmaurice. Benediction of the most Blessed Sacrament followed the last mass. The clergy extended their Christmas greetings. The themes of the priests dwelt on the lessons of peace which the Prince of Peace brought into the world at His Dbirth, and applying the same to the sad con- ditions of the world today. There never will-be lasting peace as long as man prefers power, riches and worldly gains in preference to the e: amples and teachings brought out in the life of the Saviour has their first choice. Scripture has neyer recorded in the 33 years of His public life, which minished never to shut the Saviour from their hears, less the same example might be repeated. The altar was banked with evergreen and adorned with choice flowers, while pedestals of flowers graced the sanctu- ary steps. Wreaths and evergreens were also circled around the church. The decorations were in charge of the good Sisters of the parish and showed their usual good taste in this respect. The decorations at the Crib of Bethlehem attracted many visitors and there were many cam#iunicants who approached the altar at the first three masses. The musical programme was pleasing and was carried out at the nine o’clock mass, the Misses Sadie Driscoll and Emma Portelance assisting the Junior choir. Miss Lena Boudreau presided at_the organ. The masses on Sunday were celebrat- ed at the usual hours, 7.30, 9 and 10.30 o'clock and large congregations were the rule at each service. The altar and crib decorations remained in place. It was the monthly communion day for the Maidens of the Sacred Heart. The high mass at 10.30 was celebrated by Rev. Patrick J. McCormick of the Catholic University at Washington, D. Sunday next is the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, the- Senior and Junior branches of the Holy Name soclety will observe the same by receiving holy communion in a body at the early mass and later in the day listen to a dis- course on the merits of membership attached to such an organization.

Vernon Wayte and Emma Harrington, Alias Florence Dumas, to Obtain Money by False Pretences From Norwich Merchants— Aged Man Pleads Innocent—Came Back Saturday Night From Brooklyn With Two Sons. On a warrant charging him with fraud, and with entering into a con- spiracy with Dr. J. Vernon Wayte and Emma Harrington, alias Florence Du- mas, alias Emma Jackson, the young woman who left abruptly a week ago and wrote back that she was on her way to Europe with the doctor, the police arrested Alic W. Harrington, 73 years old, Sunday morning. Dur- ing the night he had come back from New York, where his search for Wayte and the woman was without fruit, and Sunday morning people in the neigh- borhood saw_smoke rising from the house at 435 Washington street where Harrinston has been living for the last three months, and an automobile was standing in the vard. Somebody telephoned to James C. Macpherson, who was one of the merchants Who had taken one of the checks, made out to Wayte and endorsed by Har- rington that came back from the Corn Exchange bank of New York city, no account having been found there. On being notified, Chief of Police Linton sent up_Officer Charles Smith, who found Mr. Harrington unresisting. | With him were two young men whom he introduced as his sons Henry and Victor, from Brooklyn. Mr. Harring- ton was taken to the police station, and being unable to procure the $500 bonds that were required, passed the night there, and he will be given a hearing this morning at 8.30 in the city court. Roderick M. Douglass has been retained as his attorney. The various business men who took the valueless checks will be there to give their side of the case. Miss Ada Greene, the stenographer who took one of the checks, was in Dayville Sunday and could not be reached, but Thomas Pteiffer, who had a little experience with Wayte in the capacity of sten- ographer, has been called. Mr. Harrington sald Sunday that Wayte and the woman who has passed as young Mrs. Harrington had com- pletely hoodwinked him. He sald he had had implicit confidence in the doc- tor, and that had led him to endorse the doctor's checks. But in New York at_the doctor's address and at the different hospitals he couldn't find anyone who knew Dr. Whyte. Satur- day, he said, he happened to run into bis 'son on the street and invited him to take a run up_to Norwich to see his place here. With this son and other one, Mr. Harrington started out, re sald, in a Ford car which the young men own, from New York on Sat- urday afternoon at 4 o'clock. They lost the right road several times and they reached Norwich at 1.30 Sunday morning. It developed from the state- ments of the sons that Mr. Harrins- ton has a wife and family in Brook Iyn with whom he has not been liv ing for seven or eight years. There are three other boys and a girl and the two boys here are bright and clean appearing voung men. Mr. Harring- ton continued to assert his innocence of any attempt or desirc to defraud the merchants who took the bad checks and he confesses himself to have been completely hoodwinked and fooled by the younzer pair. The people who comprise the ring of fellow-sufferers are the Plaut-Cadden company, who took a $75 check for about $50 worth of goods: the Parker- Davenport company, where a $65 check was disposed of in payment of a hotel bill; J. A. Macpherson, who sold them A set of furs and took another $65 check; the Manhatian, who took an $80 check, and Mizphy and MeGarry, to whost check amounte check given by Dr. W Green for stenographic ser cashed at the Boston store dorsement by Ring & Sisk. $68.

LIGHTED CHRISTMAS WREATH. Annual Custom Observed at Trinty Methodist Church. The Lighting of the Christmas wreath, an annual custom at Trinity Metrodist Episcopal church, took place at the evening service Sunday. At the offertory a Soprano soio, The New Born King. was rendered in excellent voice by Mrs. William Crowe, Jr. Rev. F. W. Coleman, the pastor, spoke on The Guiding Star. Rev. Mr. Coleman spoke first of the Star of the Church, ever helping and guiding us and continual- Iy reminding us of Him. The second star spoken of was the star of con- science and the third star, the Bibl The lighting of the Christmas wreath by the voung ladies of the church followed. The Prince of Peace was the sub- ject of the morning sermon delivered by Rev. Mr. Coleman. At this service Miss Elizabeth Lane, violinist, rendered Adoration at the offertory. St. Patrick's Church. The customary elaborate ceremoni- nls marked the celebration of the feast of the Nativity at St. Patrick’s church, where the day’s services began with a bigh mass aat 5.30 o'clock, sung by Rev. J. H. Broderick. At 7.30 there was a low mass. read by Rev. Peter J. Cuny. The children’s mass at nine vas read by Rev. Myles P. Galvin. A varied and well rendered musical pro- gramme was given by the junior cholr, directed by Miss Ruth Jordan, organ- ist. Especially pleasing was the vios line_solo, Kreisler's Andantino. played by Miss Clementine Jordan and the so- prano solq,_Christmas Song, by Miss Mary Ansel. " The fifty members of the choir sang with harmgony and spirit. In the solemn high mass at 10.30 o'clock, Rev. Myles P. Galvin was cele- brant, ‘Rev. John H. Broderick deacon, and Rev. Peter J. Cuny sub-deacon. The sermon was preached by the' rec- tor, Rev. Father Broderick, who read | the gospel for the last mass on Christ- . John I 1-4, choosing as his text, “And the word was made flesh and Dwélt Among Us.” In summarizing the lessors to be drawn from the won- derful cvent of Christ’s birth at Beth- leheh the preacher made reffrence to the joyous song of the heavenly host, “Peace on Farth,” and the fact that the Infant Savicur came to bring man a three-fold peace: with God. with him- elf, and with his neighbor. Reearding the third point, the preacher declared it is a sad condition prevailing in so large a part of the zed world today. when men call- seives Chr pr ans have forgot- ciple of fraternal charity which Christ came to teach and are involved in ths horrors of war. He hesoasht his hearers, before leaving the to pray earnestly to God that about a change in men's = when the terrible strife is ended it may mean the ending of war for all time. llowing the last mass there was Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, given by Rev.

At giving Tho soloists at the solemn high mass were Mr: d John Sullivan. Baker's string orchestra assisted the organ, adding appreciably to the fine effect of the musical portion of the 10.20 service. AT PARK CHURCH, WINDOW BLOWN IN After Morning Service — Dr. Howe's Christmas Sermon. The Christmas eervice at Park church was much interfered with by the storm. After the close of the morning service the wind blew in a plece of the beautiful stained glass window on the north side and the ves- per service had to be given up. The special music enjoyed as part of the morning service included two organ selections by Miss Annle Tafft, two anthems by the choir, and the offertory solo by Eugene B. Seamans with vio- lin obligato by Miss Helen Royce. The offertory, outside the envelopes, went to the Connecticut food ship for the Belgians. Things Incredible. Dr. Howe's Christmas sermon was taken from Acts 26: 8, “A thing in- credible.” The truths of the philoso- phers are those which are universally held. But many self-evident truths of today have not always been believed. Even today many truths of science are not universally knmown all over the world or among all ages of peo- ple. The prophets of old told of things incredible to others and many today will not believe that certain things will happen. The Success of Ch: anity. One of these things unbelievable to many is the fact of sin. This is a fact not 'universally believed, although it may seem to be. Another incredible fact and dependent upon the other Is that of the incarnation. There is much said about the severe beliefs of the Puritans and others, but they are ten- der and sweet beside the belief in a far-off God whose fatherhood would not bring him into his _children’s nursery. The success of Christianity has been the most incredible thing in the world. Special Sunday School Service. The Sunday school hour was given up to a special service conducted by Weston C. Pullen. Besides the read- ing, prayer by Dr. Howe and the Christmas hymns, Mrs. H. T. Arnold spoke of the sufferings of the Armeni- ans. While the collection for them was being given, Eben Learned sang a Christmas hymn. Some fine pictures of Bethlehem and scenes in the early life of Jesus were thrown on the screen by Mr. Latham, Dr. Bunnell reading the story which explained the pictures more fully. MT.
