CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
DEDICATED AT WASHINGTON IN A
transform.

fhe impressive Services MARRIED by I'm.
favorable Weather-The President and
His Cabinet Officers Honor the Gather
Ing by Their Presence-Secretary 8laine's
Address,
The dedication of the Catholic University
of America, at Washington, like the lay
ing OF the cornerstone of the building,
took place in pouring rain.
The ceremonies began at 1890 o'clock
with short address by Cardinal Gibbons.
This was foil owed by the chanting of the
'Veni Creator Spiritu" by $50 students of
st. Mary's seminary and st. Charles
college, of Baltimore. The building was
then blessed by Cardinal Gibbons, while
the choir chanted ''Miserere.n At II
O'Clock pontitical mass of the Holy Ghost
was celebrated in the university chapel by
Most Rev. Mgr. Satolli, archbishop. The
music of the mass was sung by q picked
choir of male voices Right Rev. r.
Gilmore, bishop of Cleveland, preached
the sermon.
The President, vice-President and all
the members of the Cabinet, except Score.
tary Wanamaker, attended the dedication
exercises. The President was received
with great applause on entering. Mr..
Blaine, who responded to the toast. "Our
Country and Her President" said he re-
sponded as representative of the United
States, not in political sense and much
less partisan one. BE did not come as
the representative of any sect, but to speak
for the principles of religious freedom
granted to all by the government
of the United States He had spoken
of this in Protestant assemblies and
was proud to do so now in a
Catholic assembly. Without speaking
eulogistically he could say that his chief.
the President. stood as the embodiment of
the rights and liberties of all classes of
people. He was glad to hear of the en-
dowment of every college, no matter of
what denomination, for colleges mean Gull
ture for the people. 1t is not long since
we heard the criticism of an Englishman
on America, that while it had the most
intelligent people IN the world they were
the least highly cultured. With the estab.
lishment of more colleges these criticisms
will cease, and the people of the United
States will attain as great excellence in
this direction as they have in sustaining
the government under which all people are
equal and all churches and denominations
assured of their rights.
The dedicatory ceremonies closed with an
address by Bishop O'Farrell and Latin
Grafton by Mgr. Schroeder.
A reception was given at night to visit
ing clergymen and laymen.

A Presumiug Little Girl.

A little girl, who made very frequent
use of the word guess" was one
day reproved for it by her teacher.
Don't say guess, Mary" said Miss
Jones, "say presume.
Presently one Of Mary's little play
mates coming up to her, remarked:
II think your cape is very pretty,
and my mamma wants your mamma to
lend her the pattern, because she is 60
ing to make me one like it. ;"
"My mamma has no pattern" was
the prompt reply; "she cut it by pre-
srme."

What Next

John Dervent and Peter Lott were
graduated at the same college on the
same day with equal honors. Both
men went West, and settled on ranches.
After six years one of their old pre-
ceptors visited them.
John was prosperous, but he knew
nothing of the world outside of his own
ranch. He took no interest in politics.
IN religion, in books, or in social aues-
tons; he hardly knew who was Presi-
dent; he had long ago lighted his fires
with his textbooks. For two DAYS he
talked to his visitor of his COWS and
bullocks, of the rates of cattle on the
hoof in Chicago, and of beef in New
York.
When the professor tried to interest
him in any. other matter, he stared at
him vacantly, OF fell asleep in his chair.
The visitor went on with anxious
foreboding to Lotz's ranch. Peter.
too, had been successful; he was
shrewd and alert in his business. but
he was man Of broad general infor-
nation and sympathies. His interest
was as keen in the questions of the day
as if he lived in New York or Chicago.
His friend asked MIN presently how
he had contrived to keep himself thus
alive and young in thought.
My father" said Peter, laughing,
twas fruit-grower. He had one
maxim: Never let your orchard run
down. He necessarily set out new
trees, that were growing and ready to
bear when the old ones wore out.
when 1 left college, my brain was
very much like an orchard with plenty
of plants in it ready to bear fruit. I
resolved not to let it run down. I
would not be satisfied with the lznowl-
edge I already had. I would bring
in new slips and seedlings. I took the
best daily newspaper, the best literary
magazine, the best religious journal in
the country. 1 helped build church
and school-house in the neighborhood.
I got up reading clubs, lectures and
concerts. In short, I followed my
fathers rule, and setout new plants in
my brain, instead of waiting calmly
until the old ones should wither and
die"
It is easy to tell, when we meet mid
dle-aged OF old people, whether they
have, like John Dervent, left the in
tellectual growth of their youth to
wither and die, or, like his classmate,
have taken in daily new ideas and
knowledge.
"What next?" says the busy farmer,
as he looks at the ground from which
one crop has just been reaped. He
makes haste to SOW another.
Many of the boys and girls who read
these words have lately received a di-
ploma at some college or school, and
gone out into the world.
What next?
Is your intellectual life to end now
Is your brain to feed, during all these
coming years, on the. small portions OF
Greek, mathematics and history it has
received? Or will you daily plant the
seed of fact here, OF set the graft of a
new thought there?
The man of to-day must work hard,
if he means to keep himself up with
the life of his time. So rapid is the
march of intellectual development that
the man who does not do this is soon
pushed aside and forgotten Youths
Companion.

What Rare Stamps Are Worth.

The high prices which the rarest
specimens of stamps now realize will
explain how it is that the trade in for
geries has become what it is in these
days. The 1910 English stamp, V. R.
Cblack), with the letters in the upper
corners, will easily fetch g10 used and
g5 unused. The black stamp, without
the letters v. r., can be sold for one
penny and two pennies each. The red
penny English stamp heads are not
worth much more than waste-paper
price. The standing prices are for the

REPORTORIAL MUSINGS.

Reporters please not copy" The above
Is an inscription frequently written on the
margins Of leaves in the marriage license
register at the district court. What is it put
there for? Contrary to the natural SUPPOSE
ton. II is not the request Of parties who de-
sire to get married secretly. All such go to
Hudson. Nor can il be said that it is done be-
cause the licensed persons do not wish the
fact OF the marriage 70 get Into the papers. Ii
ce1ses are seldom issued more than one day
before the wedding takes place, and in nine
eases out of ten the persons who do not wish
their names to appear as having been II
censed TO wed are of such social prominence
that the fact is sure TO be chronicled. Again
the question arises for what purpose is It
done? One explanation. which can be
founded not altogether upon fiction, is that
these parties do not like to seem so con-
neeted with the vulgar throng as 10 be oblig
ed 70 ask permission of the authorities be-
fore entering the bonds of matrimony. An
other reason which might be adduced is that
these parties are squeamish about their
names appearing in the midst Of OlsonS,
Gilhooleys and Sehonlebers which so largely
com pose the bulk of the names on the reg
lister, aud which are of so pronounced for
eign origin. There is but little doubt that both
reasons obtain. Take your choice between
them
A GLOBE reporter visited the theater
the other evening, and he has not
been in q good humor since. He was not
conscious of having been especially wicked
recently, but certain it is that he was sOrely
afflicted By an unkind Providence. His seat
happened to be next that of & chOlcrie indi-
vidual with whom he was slightly ac-
0uainted. This person is connected with an
organization called tie board of trade, which
deems itself specially constituted 10 run the
earth and he doubtless feels himself privi-
legged to DO as he pleases. regardless Of the
comfort of others. He did not like the play,
and about every three minutes took occasion
TO remark;
"Boshl This is about the nearest approach
to q farce i ever saw. No man who ever
went through the war, as did. ever saw any
thing like that. This makes me sick
Then he would FL up the interval by de-
failing how long he had been in the war,
and how he knew all about it. He continued
to make himself unusually disagreeable,
even for him. He might nave been content
to keep his mouth closed. There were per-
sons present who really did enjoy the play,
or would have enjoyed it had it not been for
his obnoxious personality. Was it ignorance
OF plain boorishness? Probably the latter.

The opening OF the public library
building this afternoon and evening
promises to be a most suspicious occa-

be from until 1880 p. M, and doubt
less the spacious building will be
crowded 10 its utmost capacity
during these hours. Every one Is
expected to be present, and the faces
of the varied congregation will be no
small point of interest in the library
opening. For the faces interested in
the grand building and its grand con-
tents must needs be all interesting faces
whether they come from the ranks of
high or low. In this realm all are
equals.
