AN ARoHBIsHoP's FUNERAL.
Peter Richard EeBrlck Hurled ia Caivars
Cemetery, Sc. Lonla.


ST. LOUIS, March with ceremo-
MES BETTING his rank as q prince in
the Roman Catholic church, Arch.
bishop Peter Richard KenFielz was in
TERED in the priests lot in Calvary
cemetery to-day. It is estimated that
while the body lay in state during the
last 25S days at least 125, 600 people
passed through the cathedral to view
it.
An immense crowd Of people be-
seiged the eathedraI's doors at an early
hour to-day eager to gain admittance.
Great numbers were disappointed, for
the edifee has a seating capacity
barely sufficient to accommodate the
prelates and priests who were assem-
bled in large numbers from all over
the country. Promptly at nine o'clock
the services, which were the grandest
and most imposing ever seen in St
Louis, began. One cardinal. eightarch-
bishops, more than 20 bishops and
fully 400 priests, assisted By choir
OF students from the Kenrick seminary,
conducted the services, which consist
ed of pontifcal requiem mass and the
Office of the dead, Archbishop Kahn
acting as celebrank Following this,
Archbishop Ryan delivered an grafton.
He paid the dead prelate high tribute
as a nan and priest and reviewed his
life at length, AbsoIutio8 was per-
formed by Cardinal Gibbons and four
arehbishops. This concluded the serv-
ices and the body was taken to Calvary
cemetery, escorted by the cadet corps
of the St Louis university, and fol-
lowed by the prelates, clergy and laity
in carriages. The usual ceremonies
at the grave were held.

WANT IN REAsED PAY.

MOrtally Among Railway Mall Clerks
Greater Than among Soldiers in War.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Strong eff
forts will be made to secure the pas
sage of bill to increase the compen-
sation of railway mail clerks. The
first bill introduced in this congress
was by Mr. Linton, of Michigan, to
organize this branch of the service,
and the committee has directed Mr.
Linton to report the bill faVorabIy.
By its provisions the number of classes
in the service on salary basis is in
creased from five to ten, and salaries
of clerks range from $500 to 81, 500
The proposition to have two per cent
of the salaries withheld to establish a
pension fund was withdrawn, as it was
feared that the opposition to civil pen
sions in the house might endauger the
whole of the bill. Reliable statistics
showed that the mortality among rail-
way mail clerks through railroad
accidents is greater than that
among the troops in the civil war
These clerks are required to pass an
examination at rating of more than
80 per cent, and are not given vaca-
tions, although the departmental em-
plOyes in Washington have 80 days

Whereas, The graVess crisis ever existing in

4 Catholic Organization.
New YORK, March lit is probable
that at the next monthly meeting Of
the archdiocesan union of the Roman
Catholic church a movement viii be
started to establish an organization in
the church similar to the Young Mems
| Christian association. Such q move
ment has been discussed for some time
by various Roman Catholic societies,
and the delay in beginning concerted
action has been due solely to the
fact that no one was ready to take the
initial step. It is pointed out that a
Roman Catholic young man, going to
a strange city, is lost, having no one
there to take an interest in him. The
Young Mems Christian association has
a secretary waiting for the stranger.
He is cordially helped where help is
needed and aided in getting employ
ment and suitable lodgings, The idea
is to erect in each city association
buildings where reading rooms and
we'll equipped gymnasium may be
found.
