cemetery reserved for the burial of

be opened for the public at the funeral,

For many years Father Caillet min
istered to the spiritual wants of the
family of James J. Hill, at st. Mary's
church, and it was the latter's high
regard for this humble priest that
caused Mr.. Hill to devote the princely
sum of 100000 for the building of the
seminary which bears his name.
On the evening following the dedi-
cation of this institution Mr.. Hill. in
turning over to the archbishop the
seminary and it's endowment, among
other things, said:
II cannot let this occasion pass
without a word In regard to one who
has most to do with the early con-
sideration Of and conclusions which
ultimately led to the founding of this
institution. To most of you 1 need
hardly mention the name of Monsignor
Louis Caillet, whose long life as a
Catholic priest has been spent among
you, and whose devotion to duty,
whose broad Christian charity
and answering zeal for the spiritual
welfare and upright life of both old
and young have endeared him in an
unusual degree to the hearts of the
people of st. Paul, both within and
without the church which he has so
dearly loved and so faithfully served.
over forty years of active service
have left him somewhat impaired in
health, but with a spirit as patient
and devoted as when he first came
among you so many years ago. L may
say, truthfully, that, had it not been
for my intimate knowledge Of and
admiration for his character as
Christian pastor and personal friend,
it is very probable 1 would never have
thought of assuming the responsibility
for the work which has been dedi-
Gated today"
