Business Principles Applied to Saliva
tiOn BY Wisconsin Catholic
Priest.
Deliverance from Purgatory Assured
by the Payment OF Certain
Annual Dues.
The Novel Project Said to Have the
Approval of Priests and Bishops
of the State.

DEPERE, Wis, May 21.-Father Durin,
of st. Josephs Catholic church, in this
city, is the author of new and unique
kind of insurance, in which he has suc-
cessfully interested the members of his
own and surrounding parishes. Father
Durin's plan involves the saving of the
soul OF the assured after death. The
parent organization is known as THE
Deliverance Society, with head Office
at st. Joseph's rectory, Rev. j. f. Durin
being manager. The prospectus of the
society states that it is organized on the
same principle as mutual insurance
society. The offering for admission fee
is 25 cents, and the annual contribution
10cents.
There will be no reserve fund, " it
states, "but all contributions will be
Immediately employed in the celebration
of mass, and for the
Deliverancs of Souls from Purgatory."
The "deliyerance society" was en-
tirely original with him and that it grew
out Of his exceedingly strong belief in
purgatory as place where the venial
sins of the departed can be expiated and
their souls assisted therefrom, through
the prayers of fgood Catholics. He con-
siders the scheme an application of bust
ness principles to spiritual matters.
Such companies are effective in saving
the members from disastrous effects OF
losses by fire or accident; so in SINH
lar way he seeks in this society to unite
the efforts of members of the Catholic
church to save the souls of anyone oi
their number who might through care
lessness or ignorance have committed
some venial sin which, although not de-
serving punishment in hell, would pre-
vent their entrance to heaven, and per
force :justly demand their detention ir
purgatory until his society should bt
heard from. The society has already q
membership of several hundred, Father
Durin affirmed, and he says the scheme
is approved by brother priests and hi
superiors in the church, as it is o logica.
outcome of one of the sincerest belief
Of the Catholic church.

WELCOME MOISTURE.

Rail Falls Throughout the Northwest
That Is Worth . Mint of Money.
ST. PAUL, May 21.--A welcome rain
has broken what promised to be a ser
ious drouth If much longer continued.
The rain was general over Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin and the Dakotas,
though heavier in some portions than
others. The Missouri slope received
probably the greatest amount of moist
ure. Not the least benefit has been the
sduelching of the forest fires that have
been raging in the northern portion of
this state and Wisconsin. The rain has
been worth mint of money to the
Northwest and farmers and business
men are correspondingly elated.

WISCONSIN GERMAN CATHOLICS.

Considerable Attention Given to the
Bennett Law at the La Crosse Meeting.
La CROSSE, Wis, May 21.-Ths fore
noon session of the German Catholic
societies was largely devoted to speech
making. Bishop Cotter celebrated pom
tifical mass and Archbishop Katzer de-
livered the sermon. He alluded to the
great political work of the church last
fall, and exorted continued resistance Of
assaults on liberty Of conscience. He
alluded to the Dodge law, saying it was
an error that would be corrected at the
proper time. President Katzer, in his
address, said the political question of
last year was settled for many years to
come, but also advised continued watch
fulness in that direction.
In the afternoon the usual commit
tees were appointed. The report Of the
anti Bennett law campaign committee
was read. Thanks are given to the Of
fcers and to all who aided in the efforts
to suppress the infamous Bennett law.
We are proud of the success obtained by
our 10000 voters and their Lutheran
allies as exemplified by the election of
the entire Democratic ticket. A jubilee
meeting was held in the evening.

then went to his brother, John F. Clapp,
who is lawyer, and told him her story.
He sent for Oscar and told him the only
thing for him to do under the circum-

years, he taking in that time about

weight glove fight between Billy Myers
and Andy Bowen for a purse of 5000,
$500 to the loser, took place at the
Olympic club. The auditorium, with q

time Myers struck him. A foul was
allowed and the fight given to Bowen,

BURIED IN A SEWER.

Caving Earth at Providence, n. l., Causes
Death to Fsur Italians
PROVIDENCE, r. Inlay 21.-At Q
O'Clock p. m. portion of sections 8 and
6 Of the Elmwood improved sewerage
division near the old railroad bridge on
Broad street caved In. Eleven men
were hurled into the pit about twenty
six feet, of whom seven were rescued
and four are still in the ruins. They
were all Italians. The sewer ID being
constructed by Emerson d Lidgell, with
Charles Blackmer as inspector of con-
struction. The cause of the terrible ac-
cident is due to the failure of the work
men to straighten the braces that held
mp the side supports Of the frame work.
There is much excitement about the
place and there is no doubt that the
four men still buried are dead, as they
have been buried too long to have sur
vived.
