X. of L. and the Church.

PHILADELPHIA, December 1.-THE Rec
ord of this morning says: Animportantc con-
ference bearing on the relation of the Cath
olic Church to the Knights OF Labor in the
United States is believed to have taken
place here yesterday between Cardinal Glib
bons, Archbishop Corrigan. of New York,
and Archbishop Ryan OF Philadelphia, at
the residence Of the latter. A prominent
priest said last evening, in referring to the
meeting, that the labor question is cer-
tainly assuming such proportions and
drifting into such channels that the church
could not very long ignore it. He referred
to the interest taken in labor movements
as exemplified by the heavy vote polled in
New York for Henry George, and thought
the Catholics should be advised by their
spiritual superiors whether or not it was
dangerous to support such movements.
"Of course" he continued, mo action will
be taken by the hierarchy without deliber-
alton and care, and if any change is made
it will only be for the best interests of the
church and the spiritual welfare of it's ad-
herents."

The Lost Girl Found .

The rumor given several days ago that a
girl ofsome IL or 13 years had strangely
disappeared for days from her home in
Butte was not an idle one. although for
prudential reasons The MINER man thought
best not to say more. Day before yester
day she turned up. It appears that she is
a little headstIong at times, and perhaps
expected some parental soothing syrup.
Being averse to these even in broken doses,
she ran away and kept in hiding for three
or four days. The police were posted, and
80 the reporters. and when the young lady
found herself trailed to her hiding place
she, like nice girl, went home.
