GIVE CHURCH PROCESSIONS.
Catholics Hold Special Services Commemorating Prayers of Jesus.
Special services were held yesterday in the Catholic Churches of Washington. Solemn high mass was sung in several, and all the late masses closed with impressive processions from the main altar to the repository, which represented the garden where Jesus prayed the day before the crucifixion. In commemoration of that event, all night adoration was observed in many churches.
At the Shrine of the Sacred Heart, the Rev. Joseph F. MAGEE was in charge of the services.
The Rt. Rev. Mgr. MACKIN officiated at St. Paul's.

WILL DRAW CHURCH PLANS.
Wood, Donn & Deming Chosen as Architects of All Souls' Edifice.
Architects Wood, Donn & Deming, of 808 Seventeenth street, have been selected to prepare plans for the new edifice of All Souls' Unitarian Church, of which President Taft is a member. The site on the east side of Sixteenth street, between R and S streets, where the church is to be erected, was purchased a short time ago. There also will be built a chapel in memory of the Rev. Edward Everett HALE. It is understood that the Gothic style of architecture will be followed. The cost of both will be about $250,000.
The church will be situated directly south of the new Scottish Rite Cathedral.
