Practically there are but four divisions

II. j. Spaunhorstt, of st. Louis, dealt
with the subject of Societies" The
bulk of the paper was devoted to
organizations which are charita-
BILE and benevolent in character.
The paper of Condo B. Palm, of st.
Louis, was on Catholic American
Literature" Sunday Observance" was
the title of paper by Manly b. Tello,
of Cleveland. de took the ground that
in dealing with the question, the
Catholic has to do with the rights of
others and has to take into practical
consideration the state of American
society in which he lives. The next
paper was Labor and Capital by
William Richards. of Washington. de
announced its purpose as being to con-
traSt the social condition of times, when
the mission of charity was acknOwl-
edged and accepted by all, and
the present, when free competition
has been substituted for charity.
The mayor of Baltimore, Ferdinand
Latrobe, who had been invited to be
present at the convention, came for
ward at this juneture, and, with words
of welcome. rendered the delegates a
reception Thursday at the city hall.
The tender was accepted. Father
Tolten, the cOlOred priest, who was sit
ting in the body of the hall, was asked
by Gov. Carroll to set on the platform.
The dark-visaged cleric received a roar
of applause as he mounted to the place
of honor. 1t was at this juncture that
committee on platform reported.
The reading of papers was then
resumed. Prof. Herman Allen, of
Chicago, had a paper on Church
Music" advocating the GregOrian and
the exclusion of all figured music that
did not conform to the plain chant pro-
totype. John H. Campbell. of Phila-
delphia. had the task of discussing

forming in the streets. the further read
ing of papers was suspended, with or
derS that the remaining ones be printed
in the proceedings. Daniel Dougherty
was unanimously voted place on the
committee of future congresses. Mr..
Onahan. of Chicago. moved that an in
ternatiOnal Catholic congress be
held not later than 1892 in
Chicago, because it could offer
the largest hall in America,
as well as Western hospitality. Mr..
Campbell, of Philadelphia. moved an
amendment that the convention be held
wherever the worlds fair is located
lapplauSel. as the eyes of the whole
country would be directed there at that
time. MIR. Onahan accepted the amend
ment, because he believed that the
Mr.. Spaunhurst, of st. Louis, expressed
his satisfaction at the amendment, be-
cause he thought that that would bring
the convention to st. Louis. The resO-
luton as amended was adopted. 1t was
resolved as the sense of the con-
greSS. that unanimous vote of
thanks be rendered the committee on
preliminary arrangements for their un-
selfish and untiring efforts in converting
and organizing the congress, particular
appreciation being expressed for the
keen solicitude of Messrs. Onahan,
BrownSon, Rudd and Spaunhorst. As
Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul, had
opened the congress, it was the desire
that he close it. He said with fiery en-
phasis:
Go to yonr homes filed with the enthusi-
assn Of this convention, and spread it through
the Union that there is new departure for
Catholics in this eountry-a mission for
Catholic laymen. The day has come, thank
God. when all Catholics will rise up and say
we are worthy of our religion. The country
to be conquered is heaven. Don't go home
to sIeep. but to work. Go back there CathO-
lies.
The CONGRESS- then adjourned sine die.
