TALKED 70 CROWDS
SALVATION ARMY HAS BIG
OPERA HOUSE MEETING.
A Large Congregation Listens to the
Songs and Addresses Many Con
verts Are Reported Recruits in
Prospect.

The Salvation Army moved into
the opera house Sunday for an
afternoon and evening meeting. The
first congregation was not large but
at night the house was filled. The
captains and leutenants, the lasses
and converts occupied the stage and
sang and talked for two hours, having
the closest attention and interesting
the congregation. The songs are set
to such familiar tunes as "The Cat
Came Back" and sidewalks Of New
York" but they are interesting just
the same and many in the congrega-
tion join in the chorus.
Capt. Boren had charge of the
meetings and receipts at the door
were $27. Mrs. Major Stillwell Of
Kansas City arrived today and will
conduct the meeting on Broadway to-
night. Tomorrow night will be an
opera house meeting when she will
swear in about 20 recruits from Abb
lene who will join the army.
The meeting reminds old timers of
the other Salvation Army revival Abb
lene had, about ten years ago. II
held forth in the church at corner Of
Fifth and Buckeye and as it was sum
mer great crowds tramped and surged
around the windows, unable to get
in. As closing bit Of glory the gen
eral came here and an opera house
meeting was held with religious cere-
monies on the stage. The house was
iammed and as everybody was flush
the offering at the door amounted to
more than the best show can get here
now. Dick Colver was correspondent
for the Kansas City Times and when
the paper came here the next day it
had a scare head article Of column
or more on the front page telling
about the meeting. 1t was a mighty
interesting article Dick told how
the town was captured by the army
and how at the meeting when the con.
vcrts were called for the prominent
citizens crowded TO the mourner's
bench. And he gave their names
George Rohrer, Henry Lifts, Bill
Dryer, Nate Blevins, Harry Hayes,
George Croll, Arthur Cowles and all
the rest Of the boys. 1t created a
STIR and the papers sold like hot
cakes. Dick came near getting
mobbed but finally the joke died out
The Army had some trouble after
that and finally lef: the city.

The Merrill Suit.

In yesterdays REFLECTOR was an
item taken from the Kansas City
Times concerning a damage suit
brought by Paul Merrill in which it
was stated that the plaintiff alleged
that he had suffered considerable
agony" His father, George Merrill,
thinks that u slur was intended in the
expression but none was so intended
by this paper nor do we think it was
50 meant by the Times, The phrase
is one often employed in legal papers.

ORDINATION OF PRIESTS.
Impressive Ceremony at the Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception.

With solemn and impressive ceremony
and in the presence of large and inter-
ested gathering of Catholics, Rev. James
A. Flynn of Portland, and Rev. Matthew
Riley Of Frankfort, Me. ,kwere ordained
to the priesthood at the Cathedral OF
the Immaculate Conception yesterday
morning. Ri. Rev. Bishop Healy cele-
brated the pontifical mass at which the
orders were conferred; high priest, Rev.
M. G. McDonough, rector of the cathedral
notary, Rev. G. M. Collins. Assisting
he newly ordained priests was Rev. E.
f. Hurley rector of ST Dominic's. The
chanters were Rev John Collins Of Van
Buren, college, and Rev. A. D. Decelles
of Westbrook master of ceremonies, Rev.
d. j. Brien, assisted by Mr.. F. f.
Driscoll. There were also in the sanctu-
airy, Rev. A. j. Berry and Messrs. Drain,
Hayes and Fahey, students of the semi
nary at Montreal
just before the gospel: of the mass the
candidates were called forth and the
bishop addressed them, the clergy and
the people and invited scrutiny of the
moral fitness of the candidates. During
the singing of the litanies, the candidates
Frustrated themselves, and towards the
end received pontifical blessing, after
which. the bishop by prayer, invoked
God to send all heavenly gifts upon
those whom he had chosen for the holy
office of priesthood. Investiture with
the stole and chasubu lie followed and the
chalice, the poten and the host were
passed to them. After the offertory of
the mass, the newly anointed priests
came forward and continued the mass
with the bishop receiving from him the
pax.
During the rite of ordination Bishop
Healy made short address to the con-
gregation saying that they had seen one
part of the ceremony which must needs
have impressed them with the sublime
dignity conferred upon these young men
and which bespeaks the church's gran
deur of power; their past lives had been
scrutinized and with the candidates pros
trate before the sanctuary, all angels had
been invoked that they might obtain
grace, and if our lives were pure, we too
should see the attending angels arranged
about. He exhorted all to follow with
their prayers the new priests that at all
times they may be worthy and bring
blessings upon those among whom they
may labor.
1t is worthy of note that the young
men who were ordained are the first grad
yates of Van Buren, college in this state,
der Bishop Healy's fostering care and in
which he has the deepest personal and
official interest.
