CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Archbishop Cor
rigan, of New York, was the distn-
gulshed guect of the Catholic congress

morning session, he was rendered a
spontaneous ovation. He made his way
from the entrance through the crowded
hall TO the platform, and, with the man.
ner of finished orator. thanked his
hearers for the hearty reception they
had given him. The archbishop, with
the remark that the time of the congress
might be better utilized in the hear
ing OF valuable papers than i'll HStz
enlng to- speech from him., took
occasion to say a few words on
the Sabine faith that held Columbus
through the trials which preceGed3his
discovery of America. Columbus was a
religious enthusiast of the best sort. 1t
was this religious enthusiasm, he said
which enabled him to hold his own
when ali the world looked codly on his
great project. The archbishop's brief
address was listened TO amid the pro-
fOundeSt stiffness of the big audience,
and 1t was literally applauded at its
conclusion. Some time was consumed

and sections, after which the reading of
the papers on the social question was
continued. Col. r. Nj. Douglas, of
GreenSbOrough, n. c.. spoke on "Trade

Prolonged and enthusiastic applause
greeted the introduction of Rev. James

The reverend delegate was enthusi-

Of drunkenness, and his handsome face
giowed with the light of sincerity. The
Catholics did not properly appreciate

drink. Catholics, he said. expected too
much of the church. The church could
not save drunken men; could not over
come the evil of drunkenness, unless
the children of the church helped it
with their ballots. He was not here, he
said, to advocate the cause of the Pro-
hi6ltion party, but he said the idea that
some Catholics had that they could not
