The Bishop then complimented the
members of the parish upon having
among them the spirit of the Christian
school, and said that he hoped they
would pay for the new building he had
just blessed. He declared that the edu-
cation of the children was the most inn
portent question they had to deal with,
and continuing said:-
CHRISTIAN VERSUS INFIDEL)
1T is not question between Ca tholics
and Protestants, but it is one of Catholics
and Protestants againstinfidelity. There
are thousands and thousands of Protest
ant Christians, good. conscientious people
who prefer the Christian to non-C Christian
school. They are not satisfied with the
public or private schools where nothing
is taught but secular knowledge. All
over the world Catholic and non Catholic
Christians. but especially the Catholics,
are striving TO educate children SO that
they will become good Christians and
good citizens.
II know a great many Catholics say
that religion should be taught on Sunday
only, but it is just as necessary to teach
religion every day in the week as it is
temporal knowledge"
When the Bishop had finished his re-
marks he gave all those present the pom
tifical blessing and the services were
closed with the benediction.
The new school house is substantial

CRIB WORK IN MILL CREEK.
Citizens Fear a Big Land
Steal and the Stoppage
of Sewer Outlets.
But a Bland Engineer Says 1t Is
Only to Prevent the Encroach- !
ments of the Tide.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
made move on Mill Creek this morning,
which has filed with alarm the residents
OF that portion of the city which ia
drained by the creek, as they believe that
the company proposes to fill up the stream
and STOP up the sewers emptying into it.
Chief Engineer Ruggles, of the Street
and Water Department., however, who
personally inspected the work today, said
that from present indications the com
pany would not interfere with the flow OF
the waters of the creek, and that there
was no occasion for alarm.
The channel of the creek after it passes
under the Grand street bridge runs In
close to the east shore along the Window
Sash foundry for a distance Of about one
hundred feet. Then it takes sharp turn
TO the west almost at right angles to the
shore, and then turns again and runs
almost due south to the canal.
The Lehigh Valley Company owns the
property on the west side of the creek, be-
tween Grand street and Pacific avenue,
and the canal and almost all the property
east of the creek. At the point
where the channel turns to the west
til company's worknen began this
morning to build crib work extending
along the West Shore up to the Grand
street bridge. The crib work extends out
into the stream to the channel, distance
of above three-quarters or the width of
the creek.
The engineers in charge Of the work
said that this was for the purpose OF pro-
t citing the filled in land upon which the
new freight station and yard have been
built for the encroachment of the tide
which is rapidly eating into the made
ground and washing it away.
= e " hen asked what necessity there was
for building the crib work SO far out into
the stream, the engineer said that it was
only in order that the men could work
better and when the high water came it
would float the crib work firmly to the
shore.
Just how the tide could float crib
work which was being spiked fast to piles
f. nly driven in the centre of the creek.
the young manipulation of the theodolite
did not explain.
AS soon as Chief Ruggles heard of the
work he hurried up to the spot and made
an Investigation. He says that he
found that the company was on its
own property and it they did
not extend the crib work any further
into the stream it would not interfere
with the flow of the creek or the sewers
which flow into it.
The engineer pointed out the line of the
company's property to Mr.. Ruggles, and
the latter said that they had not en-
croached on the city's property
yet. After looking over the ground
Chief Ruggles said it seemed to him that
the Sash foundry people on the opposite
side of the creek were the tres
passers upon the channel He
also said that company would
have hard work to fill in their cribwork,
and if it was found to interfere with the
flow of the creek it could be easily re-
moved.

In ONE FLUTTERING GARMENT.

That Was the Way the People Escaped
From Newark Avenue Fire.
About half-past three this morning a

THE MAIFEST CLOSES.
The End OF the Five Days Festival Comes In
the Midst of a Grand Ball.

The End OF tina Five Days Festival Comes In
the Midst of q Grand Ball.
The Maifest is q thing OF the past. It
closed last night at Como hours and
en- ded the five dave festival that has
lightened the hours Of good many of
the towns people.
The grounds were opened at the usual
time yesterday, but during the morning
and afternoon the attendance was not
large. However, those who did visit
the pavilion grounds found plenty Of en-
teTtainment aud the hours passed lightly
by. There were no games and dancing
was INDUCED in but slightly.
The best part of the festival came at
night, when the floor of the pavilion was
thronged with dancers. The night was
all that one could ask for In open air en-
tertainment. 1t was slightly cold at
first, but when the breeze died down to
softest breathings and the moonlight
sifted in among the trees, the night was
nothing Il not delicious. People
came but slowly. Yet the hall filed
up impercetibly and when the
ball was over and the Maifest done, the
crowd was quite extensive. And it
would have been much larger had the
street car service been perfect. AS it
was great many started and found the
cars not running when they turned back
home. The hackmen reaped a harvest
and good many walked.
1t seemed that everyone knew it was
the last night OK the Maifest, and SO
every one danced. The floor, after $3.50
O'Clock, was covered with light feet and
continued so until the Maifest and the
ball closed together,
The Maifest as whole has been a sue
cess, Notwithstanding the rains which
almost ruined the first day and Sunday g
attendance. The management are to be
congratulated on the arrangements
which had everything to do with the
pleasant entertainment of this five day s
festival
