DEPARTURE OF FATHER COLONEL. C,SS R.
The numerous friends of the Rev. Joseph Colo
mel, C.SS.R., will no doubt be surprised and
grieved, like ourself, to learn that this sanity
servant of God has been removed from New
Orleans. Humbly and silently he left our city
last Thursday, in obedience to the orders of his
Provincial superior, and is now, as We under
stand, the Superior of the Redemptorist Mis-
sion house at Chatawa, Pike County, Miss.
Though we are rejoiced at his well-deserved
elevation, we, in common with thousands.
deeply regret the painful separation. 1t is no
exaggeration or hattery to say that no one
knew Father Colonel but to love him for q
more humble, obliging and self sacrificing g
priest religious could not be found in the
city. We still hope that he will soon return
to his sorrowing friends. who can never forget
him or cease to thank him for his countless
benefits.

Az Alverskirchen, village in the Prussian
Province of Westphalia, the funeral of Rev
Henry Lohaus, the pastor, took place lately
with great solemnity. Deceased was for 20
less than seventy-two years first assistant and
afterwards pastor at Alverskirchen. He was
born in 1881, ordained priest March 9th, 1905,
and soon afterwards was appointed assistant
pastor at Alverskirchen. In 1912 he. was ap.
pointed parish priest, at the presentation of
Napoleon 1. He had ten assistants in succes-
sion, of whom six have already passed away
to better life. Every member of the parish
has been baptized by him, prepared for his or
her First Communion, and, if married, re-
ceived at his hands the Sacrament of matri-
mony. For a considerable time he was rural
dean, district and local school inspector which
latter cffice had till the present persecution
been prerogative of the clergy, both Catho-
lie and Protestant. He had celebrated the
10th anniversary of bis priesthood, the Goth
anniversary of his pastorate, and his 50th an
niversary as director of the Young Mems So
dality.

FATHER HEcKER, THE PAULsrs AND THE
CATHOLIC WoRLD.-A compile of weeks ago
we stated, on the authority Of New York
secular paper that Father Hewitt had suo'
ceeded Father Hecker as Superior of the
Paulists and Editor of the Catholic Uorld !;
Father Heoker, it was said, having been oom.
PEELED by ilLhealth to seek release from his
duties. We are informed. on the very best
authority, that there is not word of truth in
the statement, and therefore hasten to contra
dict it.

In another column we publish commuuica
tion urging the extension of the st. Charles, Clio
and Jackson depot railroad up to Sixth street,
by Magnolia street. The section of the city the
cars would then run through is quite thickly
settled, aud its population is steadily increas-
ing, owing to the improvements made by such
public spirited citizens as Mr.. j. II. Keller and
others. If the st. Charles street railroad COM
pany does not respond as promptly as it should
to the earnest appeals of our fellow citizens in
the section of the city referred to, we presume
that they will be able to secure relief from
some other quarter. This relief will probably
come through the efforts of Mr., Keller, who was
granted by the Flanders Administration, the
right of way for railroad from Canal and
Front streets to DR. ryades, up Dryades to Delord,
up Delord to Locust, and up to Carrollton
The road would have been built at once but
for the fact that the Council associated two
gentlemen with Mr.. Keller who did not possess
energy equal to HE. Mr., Keller msy, however
ask for and secure a renewal Of the charter il
the just petition now under consideration is
not granted.

Two pounds of black bread and one-qnarter
pound of fresh meat, or bacon in lieu thereof,
with garlic, salt, and plenty of tea, seem to be
the daily rations of the Czar's soldiers. occa-

sweet bean. The Turkish soldiers are wonder
fully easy men for commissariat to satisfy.
They will fight for weeks on meal or bruised

CONDITION OF THE WHEAT CROP.
The statistical corps of the Department
OF Agriculture have presented report upon
the condition OF wheat in S6S counties Of
the winter-wheat region. In 21S counties
the returns are comparatively unfayorable;
in ESQ the condition is varying from average
to superior. Thrift is indicated in the At
lantic States north OF North Carolina, and
in those of the Ohio Valley there has been
far less injury from frost than usual. OF
800 counties in the Ohio basin only 45 re-
port below average, and six seventies Of
the reports from the Middle States are favor
able. In Wisconsin the unfavorablc returns
are from Is of the &C counties reported.
In Kansas in from seventeen to thirty
eight counties the grasshoppor ravages arc
reported; in twenty-five counties of East
ern Kansas, and from Nebraska to the In
dian Territory as far west as Saline county.
The wheat-growing district in Texas is
also alive with grasshoppers, which threaten
the destruction Of the crop in several coun-
ties. More than twenty counties report the
Matching OF spring broods. There is an in
crease Of area Of wheat in Texas, and the
prospects are favorable. with the exception
OF grasshopper ravages.
In the other cereal States dry autumn
and variable winter have depressed the con-
iition OF wheat below the average.

Just returned from the Spotted Tail agency.
The northern Indians arrived during my
stay here. Their disposition seemed to be
very good, and Spotted Tail says they are
honest in their professions. They talk very
positively of the others coming, but the
news received through this agency Is still
contradictory. I expect to have accurate
information in few days. In the event OF
any considerable number OF Indians stay
ing out, II you still want to send the Paw
nees to the mouth OF Tongue river, it would
probably be well to defer their muster Tor
few DAYS until can obtain definite intelli-
gence. Iexpect eighty lodges OF Cheyennes
to surrender at this place day after to-mor-
row. The Indians who surrendered at
Spotted Tail agency had not yet been count
ed when I left. They were to have been
counted to-day. and shall have within
short time the exact number. +,
