THE SENTENCE OF WHIrrLEsEY In the
Criminal Court this morning, Wallace W. Whit
tlesey, convicted on Tuesday last for abstracting 6
Government bonds, was placed at the bar to re-
eeiye his sentence. Judge Fisher said, In view
OF the prisoner having been recommended to
mercy by the Jury, his excellent character pre-
yious to the larceny, his long imprisonment be-
fore his trial. aud HIS evidently declining health,
/ he felt disposed to be as lenient with him as
possible. He therefore sentenced him to pay a
iue of si 900 instead Of sending him to the psni
itentiary, the law admitting an alternative SEN
tence.

THE REDEMPTORISTS.
A New Order of Catholic Priests
in St. Louis.

By permission of Archbishop Kenrick
three priests of the order of Redempto-
rists have taken charge of the cathedral
on Walnut street, where they propose to
labor in their peculiar vocation until they
shall be enabled to erect church and
mission house of their own. Rev. Lewis
Dodd, Rev. e. Smulders and Rev. Ter
real Gironda are the priests assigned TO
the work, and they are said to be well
qualified, speaking the English, French,
Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Flemish
languages. A mission will be held at
the cathedral in a few days, and there
will be preaching in French and English.
The order of Redemptorists was form
ed in 1872, by Alphonso Laguiri, Of Ma
pies, Italy, who was born September 20,
1896, and died in 1857.
One of Laguiri's disciples, Father
HaffDour, established branch of the Re
demptorists in Germany in l777, and
since then it has spread throughout
Catholic Europe, and has become estab-
ished in remote portions Of the globe.
In 1898 the order was established in
this country by Father Alexander Cvitz-
coviez, Hungarian the first missions
being given in the diocese of Cincinnati,
and the first regular house being estab-
lished at Baltimore AT the present time
this order, or, more properly speaking,
congregation, has established houses at
Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, New
Orleans, Pittsburg, Rochester, Buffalo,
Annapolis and Detroit The novitiate
of the order, where young neophites are
prepared for the ministry, is located at
Annapolis, where there are about forty
making the preparatory studies at the
present time.
The branch located here has already
secured ground at a cost of 1927 900 on
the east side of Grand avenue, about two
hundred yards south Of the St Charles
road, on which the buildings necessary
for their accommodation, including a
church, will be erected with all conve-
nient dispatch As these priests devote
themselves in. a special manner to the
peculiar duties which We have already
referred to, we might state for the infor-
nation Of Catholic readers that they do
not generally perform parochial duties,
nor do they teach schools or colleges,
except such as they need for the training
and cultivation Of subjects for their own
congregations. Missouri Democrat
