resting place with the usual ceremonies. The
Bishop. with his attendants, again made the
circuit Of the church, chanting and sprink-
hing the foundation with holy water.
Father Damon delivered the address, which
was powerful effort, and replete with infor-
nation regarding the church history. He
commenced by referring to the formation Of
the church by Christ. and reviewed its event
full history until he came to that part which
relates to the United States. But why 70 to
foreign countries, 1t was still the came il we
looked about us at home. John Carroll, q
relative of John Carroll, Of Carrollton, who
signed the Declaration of Independence, was
the first Catholic Bishop appointed in the
United States, only "a years ago. Now we
have is bishops, over 5000 priests, and be-
tween 5000 aud 7 200 churches, not counting
chapels In every city, one-half the popula.
tdon are Catholics, and belong to the arm of
the holy old man in Rome Thirty years
ago there but one Catholic Church in st.
Louis, but one in Cincinnati, and Chicago had
none at all. In Boston, only few years
since, there was not a son Of an freshman who
would dare to acknowledge allegiance to the
Pope or confess himself Catholic Now
more than one half its population CathO-
lies, as is that Of every great city. Eighty
years ago there was but one Catholic Church
IN New York, and the pastor Of that only
visited it periodically at long intervals. Now
st Louis had between 20 and 40 churches,
not counting chapels. Cincinnati had like
number and ia New York and Boston they
were still more numerous Many present
could perhaps remember when the only Catho
lie Church IN Chicago was st. Mary's chapel,
a room 20N3O feet IN size. Now we have
nearly as many churches as any western city,
and nearly one-hah of the citys population
is Catholic in faith. 1t was no wonder that
the Yankees down in Massachusetts, got
alarmed some years ago, and exclaimed,
why, if we let these Catholics have their
own way, they will soon have the whole
country They relied on the power Of the
church, which is the power Of God. He has
promised to he with them, and that is the
reason of their success 1t was the power Of
God which gave them strength.
1t was one of the most imposing religions
ceremonies ever witnessed in the city Of
Chicago.

disputing they left the saloon. No sooner
had they reached the pavement than the un-
known drew pOcket-knife and stabbed Nc
Kune three times, inhicting bad wound in

cowsrdly assailant then ran away, pursued
by friend of McKune's, who only desisted
from the chase when he was warned that he
too might meet with the same fate. and 80
finally made his escape. Of course that part

The BURNED DISTRICT. -The scene of the
recent fire certainly presents a heart-rending
picture. As you pass over the grounds the
careful observer may perceive the houseless
and homeless silently contemplating the ruins
of what was once their homes The sal look
of pity, if not of sadness, to be seen ON their
faces indicates but too plainly the complete
ness of their sad misfortune, and what makes
it worse, they are not Of that class Of people
who are likely to rebuild in very short
time, the great majority being poor trades
men OF workingmen who but rented parts of
dwellings and stores. many Of whom have
already left the city. Besides, capital will
not come from outside sources, 50 that the
for rebuilding this fall are very
slim. Outside workIngmen especially those
engaged in building would do well to note
this fact and keep away from Chicago, unless
they can bring with them ,oell, FILED pocket

Ii the ordinance had included the removal
of all oil factories. distilleries, lumber yards,
