evening about sixty people, sick, crippled,
and infirm arrived here from the East, hav-
ing come from various parts OF the North
west. Saturday morning the train brought
about twenty. Saturday nights passenger

grims, who have arranged to be on hand the
dates advertised that the pastor and the
wonderful physician would be here to as
slst suffering souls and heal bodily ailments.
One hundred and fifty people arrived Sat
ulday evening. The narrow guage railway
was unable to haul the people that desired
to come. Dec. 8 is the feast Of the Immacu-
late Conception, and 800 people are expected
to come from the city Of Dubuque, Iowa,
alone. This will tax the sleeping capacity
OF Canton to Its utmost. 1t will require two
or three engines to manage the trains over
the Preston & Reno branch, where there are
grades that average 126 feet to the mile.
Saturday solemn high mass was celebrated
In the church which, had been newly plas-
tered and furnished inside. All who were
prepared received the blessed sacrament.
Each applicant for help is given a certain
number OF prayers to repeat for a certain
lergth OF time, ana in some cases asked to
r.arch about or in the church and repeat q
certain number Of them. They are then
given q certain quantity of holy oil to ap-
ply to the parts of the body afflicted, and
IL rny are treated with many different medi-
cines. Having remained a day or two in the

number of beads Of the rosary, about or In
the church, the pilgrim is ready to return
home. Often before reaching this part of
the system of penance the afliction has
been cured. Some are cured instantly,
others on their way home and others long
after they have reached home.
Many break off portions Of the wall on
which the church stands and carry the
pieces away to their homes. The church
property was once surrounded by a beau.
tiful hedge, but it has been trimmed nearly
to the ground, visitors after having the
pieces blessed carry them home. Relics OF
saints are placed near the altar, beside an
oil picture of Mary, the mother of God, and
the infant, Jesus. In this corner the af-
ficted kneel and pray in~cessantly. Beads,
prayer books, pictures Of the church and
every conceivable religious article Is sold
in a small house erected for the purpose
near the church. The rich and poor alike
visit this shrine. Many rich people contrib
ute very literally. The poor give what they
can afford.
