THE NEW HOSPITAL.
The Corner Stone Blessed Before Large
AssembIa1e.


ASSembia9e.
The exercises connected with the bless
ing OF the corner stone of the new hos
pita were held last Sunday afternoon IN
front of the building and were attended by
about 2, 1000 people. The various Catholic
societies attended in body. Theseinclud-
ed the local branch of the Order of For
esters the League of the Sacred Heart,
the Children Of Mary and the st. Anne
Society. The 400 children connected
with the schools were present carrying
banners, flags and other appropriate
emblems. The speakers sat on raised
platform directly III front of the building
The first address was delivered in French
by Rev. Father Beaubien, ofMontreal. He
is an eloquent speaker, and gave fine
address on charity. He praised the peo-
pie for their generosity and congratulate
ed them on the prospects for such fine
hospital.
An address in English was then given
by Bishop Michaud of Burlington. The
Bishop said that throughout the gospel
the spirit of charity dominated; that
it was unknown to pagan governments,
in Rome the poor being drowned in ship
loads. The spirit of charity which domi-
mates the world today is the spirit which
came from Christ. He instilled this
spirit into all his followers and the
world is now ruled by love.
The Bishop paid tribute to the sisters
of charity and their work i'll the various
hospitals of the world and related how
much good they did him when he was so
sick with the grip in Rome on his recent
visit He also quoted Gov. Woodbury's
tribute to the work of the sisters. The
Bishop then congratulated his hearers on
having that fire of charity that would
never be extinguished. In closing he
praised Father Boissonnault for the
accomplishment of his great work. He
was doing his work the right way, keep
ing the heart first for God and next for
the country and the church.
Both the speakers referred to the fact
that the hospital would be undenomina-
tional, and that anyone desiring care
through sickness or accident would re-
ceive it here.
Music for the occasion was furnished
by the choir of St. Cecilia, the incidental
solos being taken by Jane Drouin and
| John Drouin.
At the conclusion of the Bishops ad-
dress he proceeded to the corner stone
and blessed it, the flag being unfurled
during this solemn ceremony. Father
Boissonnault then received the gifts Tor
| the buildno and over S4O0 was taken at
this time.
At the conclusion of this service papal
communion was administered in the
church by Bishop Michaud. This was a
largely attended service.

A MEMORIAL TRIBUTE.

An interesting feature Of Zion's Herald
of May % is number of Memorial trib-
utes from various we'll known writers
and public men and women. That con-
tributed by our fellow townsman, Rev.
Thomas Tyrie, is an expression of senti-
ment by which all must be touched, and
we here reprint it in full, so that those
who have not the privilege of seeing
lions Herald may have the benefit of
this, which is one OF the best of the many
brief tributes. Memorial Day is, to
many, the brightest and the saddest day
of the year. Saddest when one thinks
Of the thousands slain by disease, by
starvation, by shot and shell, and of the
homes desolated and the hearts bereaved
and broken thereby. Brightest when
one remembers the undaunted valor the
unwavering loyalty and the sublime
spirit of self-sacrihce which characterized
these men. fto cry "Marathon!" were
sufficient to aronse Athenians to the
widest enthusiasm, how much more
shall loyal Americans exult at tue sound
"Vicksburg! !" and Gettysburg! What
more pathetic sight than the halting and
broken steps ofthe swiftly vanishing REM
nant who year by year lovingly lay their
fragrant tribute of beautiful flowers on
the graves of their fallen comrades
With hat in hand we reverently salute
them as they pass by. God bless the
veteran

RAILROAD NOTES.

The Concord &, Montreal railroad is
laying out their 1oo0-pound, 80 feet,
steel rails in a novel way. A heavy wire
cable with strong hook, is hooked into
the ends OF two rails at a time, and the
engine draws the rails from the cars. A
heavy inclined frame is coupled to the
car with one end dragging on the track
eases the rail from the end of the car,
and as soon as rail tails Ia men with
irons place it beside the track now
down.

At the Tabernacle.

Services at the Tabernacle began, as
usual, at o'clock, and a large con-
gregation listened to the sermon and
enjoyed the music. The services were
commenced with the customary pre-
hminaries.
Elder George w. Bywater was the
speaker. He said that for scientific
research and attainment the present
age is without a parallel in history.
The liberty and freedom which prevail
in this republic religiously is one of
the most distinguishable landmarks of
our advanced civilization. Religious
thought and scholarship, it must also
be admitted, is more generally correct
than at any former time.
The Latter-day Saints rely for relig-
ious light upon revelation from God.
The people believe that He is the COM
mon Father of all humanity, and that
man was created in His own image
Man is the product of an infinite love
the love of a father for his children.
This relationship is beautiful to con-
template, and brings man to a better
and more perfect conception of deity.
We believe that God is ready to re-
veal His will to the creatures of His
creation. BY revelation the Latter-day
Saints believe Him to be infallible
Christ, His only begotten. is the grand
pIOlOly Pc, NuOSe lie ana teachings
stand as a perpetual object lesson to
man. By living up to His divine pre-
cepts, man may cultivate the germ Of
deity planted within him. That well
of truth which never fails is still open
for men in this day.
Nature teaches a great lesson in the
various stages of organic growth. Man
cannot create growth; he can only IA
cilitate it. Such is also true of spirit
ual development; we can facilitate
spiritual growth by living in accord
ance with the divine code. When man
loves God, his moral advancement will
follow as naturally as growth in the
physical world. The lily toiled not
neither did it spin, yet it was arrayed
more beautifully than Soloman in all
his glory.
1t is believed by some that in order
to become Gods servants, it is neces-
sary for men to become martyrs. 1t is
true that anguish and suffering al
ways attend the sojourn of man in
mortality. Yet he tests which we un-
dergo only serve to lay up laurels for
that brighter day. A faithfulness like
Jobs, combat against evil powers
such as Paul made, will make our call
ing and election sure.

continue with good force Of men and
ore is being extracted daily. The oper
ators, Messrs. Motherwell, Knox and
Hill, nave out quite a tonnage of the
desirable products of that property
again ready for Shipment.
The shipments from the Old Jordan
and Galena mines have been so great
this week that the tramway operators
have been compelled TO make four
trips daily-twenty cars at a trip
for several days, instead of two trips
a day as usual.
Quite a lot of rails, a blacksmith's
forge, mining tools, etc, were taken 10
the Julia S. lode this week, that prop
erty having been leased to parties
who viii at once proceed TO operate
it. Some very high grade ore has been
found on the Julia S. ground.
Mr.. Stone, lessee of the Blackdog
group, has for the past week been
cleaning UP an old tunnel on one of
the claims of the group. and has
reached the face, in which there is
q showing of from four to six inches
of nice galena ore. He will run the
tunnel on this ore.
John Kelly. who has for so long
been engaged in driving the tunnel
ahead on the Amazon mine in Mark
ham gulch. has at last been rewarded
by the encounter of valuable chute
of ore on that ground which he cut
with the tunnel the first of this week.
He is now engaged in raising on the
chute, which widens out with each
shifts work. There is now over a
foot of fine iron ore, carrying we'll in
silver, gold, lead and copper, in sight,
and he has extracted already quite
nice lot. Thus, through the faith, per-
severance and hard work of a thor
ough and determined miner has an
other mine, with a most promising
outlook, been developed in Bingham.
Mr.. Kelly and partners, EIessrs. w. J.
Strickley and Atha T. Williams, feel
much elated over the new find.
The new strike on the Extra Ses-
is holding out admirably. and the own
ers are in the highest of spirits over
the outlook of the property.
Repairs still continue at the Mark
ham mill, but are about completed,
and the sound of the whistle announc-
ing the starting up of the plant,
is expected TO be heard in a few days.
Every available team in the camp
has been employed in hauling ore from
numerous producers to the
railroad for shipment this week.
Wilt and Gavin this week opened
up quite nice lot of galena ore in
the shaft they are sinking on the
Minta ground in the Highland gulch
country.
Foreman and Hines are now work
ing the Aida mine daily.
The new machinery of the Stewart
No. mill was given it's initial turn
since which time it has been
necessary alterations, but
such changes have been about all
made and the plant is almost ready to
begin the treatment of ore.

Ophir Remains Unchanged.

Out at Ophir and Stockton few
changes are taking place these days,
said Colonel Wall last evening. The
gentleman came in from the Ophir-HiII
during the afternoon and registered at
the Cullen as usual. He reports the
concentration doing about the same
work it has performed for some tin1s
past and the shipments of product reg
ular and practically uniform Instead
of coming In over the Utah e. Nevada.
the colonel swung round the circle and
visited Mercur, which he says is strict
" on the boom. The development
work is daily becoming more extensive
in the district and the showings being
made in the properties are very en-
couraging. The colonel is operating
the Matte No. and other valuable
properties.
