On Sunday morning At the Cathe.
dral Of St Louis we listened TO Mgr.
Capel. He spoke ensrgetleally and
yet gracefully in French. Having no
Interpreter at our side, and our
spouse's French being little faulty,
we could not get the drift ofthe Mgr's
remarks The organ and ane singing
we appreciated better. We do not
desire to cause any sensation IN Sallna
by announcing that we attended DR..
Palmer's (Fresbyterian) Church In
the evening. On the return from
church, we met Capt J. b. Marsh in
q street car. He stated that he had
visited Washington during the in
augural, had been in New Orleans
about two weeks, and would return
TO Topeka about the 25th.
The cemeteries OF New Orleans are

visited the Continent. The cemetery
Of New Orleans finds an exact picture
Ia the famous cemetery OF Pere IA |
Cbaisc OF Paris. All Is water In this
country from three feet below ground |

ground. There Is a saIneness exist
ing between the tombs, but on the |
whole one Of these cemeteries seems n
more cheerful place than the usual
below-ground burial place.
The weather ia few hours excepted /
on two or three different daysl has
