Tus Hcry Year.—A New York dee- patch says: News of interest to Roman Catholics from Washington is to the cftect that the Apostolic delegation there has re- ceived the text of the decree from the Pope designating the year 1900 as ihe holy year. Tne decree permit the celebration of midnight mass in all the Catho- lic churches on the night of Dec. 31. This is the first time in the history of the church that any priest bas been permitted to celebrate mass at the midnight begin- nirg therew year. The decree also grants the privilege of communion at the mid- night mass. This is slso without pre- cedent, Another feature the decree settles is that co far asthe Catholic church is concerned the twentieth century will be- gin January 1, 1900.
