Lake st. Joseph's Day.
Bishop in San Marcos.
Yesterday afternoon at about 3
O'Clock, the corner stone of the new
convent Of the religious order Of
the Divine Providence, was laid
with the proper religious ceremony,
at the site OF the fine new building
in construction in Lakeview addi-
ton.
The Right Rev. Bishop Forrest,
with all the clergy OF the city, and
the members OF the order now in
the city, together with the Rev.
Mother Mary Florence and her
party from Castroville, drove out
in carriages to Lakeview, with the
architect and Mr.. VIM. Campbell.
After the investiture of the bish-
op, he read the parchment docu-
ment to be placed in the crypt.
This contained an account of the
donation of the property and its
conditions, and alluded to the
event as being the 9th anniversary
of the arrival OF the mem
bers OF this order into Texas, and
also as being the 18th anniversary
of the ruling Pope's elevation to
the holy see. The episcopal per-
mission to erect the building, by
the late Bishop Nersz and its con-
firmation by the present bishop,
was also read, and together with the
names of the ruling president Of the
United States and mayor OF our
city, with a list of the newspapers
of the city and other articles, was
placed in the box.
Then, amid the singing of the
"Veni Creator" by the clergy, all of
them affixed their names to the
parchment, and the box was sealed
and placed in the stone, on which
the solemn benediction was then
invoked and 1t was sprinkled
with holy water and then set by
the bishop, trowel in hand. The
ceremony then being over, visit
to the grounds about the projected
convent and college was made and
the party returned to the
city and was entertained by the
Sisters of Divine Providence at
their school building on Bonham
street, with supper.
The new building is to be known
as "Our Lady Of the Lake" The
present building, which will be
completed by July next, will be Of
brick with stone facings, messur-
ing 60 feet front by 2l5 in depth,
three stories high, and will cost
$4,000.
The patronal jubilee Of st. Joseph
will be duly celebrated in st.
Joseph's church next Summary
morning by solemn mass, with
confirmation by the bishop after
mass.
The novena in accordance with
the wish Of the Pope, in honor Of
this great patronal feast, began
Saturday last, and the iridium
and prayer in preparation Of the
feast will be held tomorrow morn
ing at Z 80 o'clock in st. Mary's
church, followed by the Benedic-
ton of the Blessed Sacrament.
Bishop Forrest left this morning
for San Marcos, accompanied by
Fathers Munoz and Martens, where
the rite of confirmation will be ad-
ministered this afternoon and to-
morrow morning.
Geo. w. Jenkins, editor Of the
Santa Maria "Times," Cal, in
speaking of the various ailments
of children said: "When my chill
dren have Group there is only one
patent medicine that / ever use,
and that is Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t possesses some medi-
cal properties that relieve the little
sufferers Immediately. 1t is, in
mo opinion, the best cough medi-
cine in the market" If this reme-
dy is freely given as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t Is also an ideal
remedy for whooping cough. There
Is no danger in giving it to chill.
