Catholic Church blessed.

Catholic Church Blessed.
On Thursday last Archbishop Ryan
visited New Hope for the purpose of
blessing the new Catholic church of st.
Martin IS. Shortly after nine o'clock the
pastor, Father Stommel, accompanied by
the New Hope band and over thirty young
men on horseback, started in procession
from the church to the station at LAM
bertville, to meet the archbishop. On
the arrival of the train His Grace was
met and escorted by Father Stommel to a
carriage near at hand. The archbishop
and the priests that accompanied him
having taken their seats in the carriages,
procession was formed, headed by the
band. AT half-past ten the ceremonies
began and lasted little over an hour.
High Mass was then sung by Rev. John
A. Ward, of Bristol assisted by the Revs.
Lawrence J. Wall, of Holmesburg, as
deacon, aud A. Fretz, of Reading, as sub.
deacon. Rev. A. j. Schultz, professor at
St. Charles seminary, was master of cere-
monies, and also assistant priest to the
archbishop. There were in the sanctuary,
besides those already named, Rev. Father
Brady, ofSt. John church, Lambertville,
and the Rev. John Lonekamp and Ber-
nard Arant, of st. Bonaface church, Phil
adelphia. After mass the archbishop ad-
ministered the sacrament of confirmation
to about forty persons, of whom one-half
were adults, some of them being far ad-
vanced in years. At the close of these
ceremonies he delivered discourse, di-
recting his remarks TO those who had
first received the sacrament, and partieu-
larly to the children he explained the
nature of the sacrament that had been
impaired to them and its benefits, the Oh
legations resting upon them, and their re-
sponsibility to God for the children en-
trusted to them. After congratulating
Father Stommel on the work which, with
the CO. operation of the people, he had
that day accomplished, he said that
although they had sent him petition re-
questing the appointment of Father Stom-
mel as their pastor, he could not comply
with their request, for it would not be
just to call Father Stommel from con-
gregation for which he had labored so
long and so faithfully, but he would send
them priest in the future.

-Messrs. Mcdowell, Robbins and
Everett, candidates for State Senator in
this county, have come out in cards
stating that they are in favor of reducing
the legal rate of interest to five per cent.
The question of the rate of interest is a
live one in this county, where our farmers
are required to pay six for any loans they
may need. If the National government
can borrow at three and four per cent.
and its bonds be at a premium, individu-
ais should not be asked to pay more than
five on good security.

 "Yes, sir" replied the Californian en. thusiastically. "Its extreme is sixty fee, high"
 "Call it thirty" said the other gently

 "Say seven," slipped in the customer
 "Seven? /? l said fourtee.-every inch of it !" thundered our representative.
