The number of offices at the disposal of the Mayor is out of all proportion to the number of applicants for official recognition. Therefore it is readily perceived that the bestowal of patronage in a limited degree creates ten enemies when it develops one friend. The appointment made at the eleventh hour of J. A.

ORNKTE RO MARKS SERVIGE Christmas Festival Cele- brated at Russian Church. g With candles, incense and all of the elaborate and ornate service of the Orthodox Greek and Russian ( h\nlh, Bishop I Tikhon, the highest dignitar of nis creed in America, celebrated y terday at the Greek church on Powell street the high- mass of Christmastide. According to the Gregorian calendar, which obtains throughout the whole Ru sian empire, thi§ festival rightly fal upon the thirteenth day after Decem 2, all other calendars to the contrary not- withstanding, and as the true birthda: of Christ it was celebrated with great pomp. At promptly 10 o'clock in the morning the bells in the minaret over the quaint, old church began to sound. Within there began a ceremony which for richness of color, impressive symbolism and elabo- rateness of detail cannot be equaled out- side of a Muscovitic church. Bishop Tikhon first entered the body of the church unaccompanied and after him came in order of rank Father Sebastian, his assistant; the Very Rev. 8. Dabovich, priest of the church; Rev. T. Pashkovsky and Rev. Peter Popoff. The Bishop was clad in the blue silk gown of the Order of the Blank Monks and as he paused at the church door a rich robe of silver cloth, with gold embossments, was thrown over his shoulders and a stole, crusted with gold, was added. Mounting a dais in the center of the | church, the Bishop washed his hands and | combed his long hair to signify his purifi- | cation before delivering the holy sacra- ment. Then was placed upon his head a marvelously wrought golden miter, spark- ling with rich settings of gems. Meanwhile the vested choir chanted in Russian and in Greek the “Kyrie,” their heavy voices sounding in powerful unison. The Bishop advanced before the haly door of the sacred sanctuary, and there lighting two candelabra, blessed the peo- ple with sweeping signs of his hands, sig- nifying the six wings of Cherubim and Seraphim. After retiring within the sacred sanc- tuary, where he sprinkled the ikons, or holy paintings, with incense, the Bishop administered the holy sacrament, first to his subordinate priests and then to the congregation. Babes in arms partook for the first time of the patton, sopped in wine, the mouth of all the participants | being duly wiped after the sacrament by a deacon in attendance. The high dignitary then mounted the | | Men’s Satin Calf, Plain Toe, Lace or Congress.... pontifical throne in the chancel and the deacons and priests came to kiss his great seal ring in recognition of his su- premacy, which is deemed equal to that of the twelve Apostles. The gospels were read in Slavic and English and Father Dabovich preached the Christmas sermon.
