AT the Catholic Chutch

The mission which openei at tha
Catholic Church on Sunday last un-
DER the joint preaching of Reverend
Fathers OConnor and Leantier, is
eXc,t'hg quite lively interest,
the country and town being well repre
sented notwithstanding the fact that
frequent showers of rain have fallen
since its beginning.
We learn that the sermons hoti of
Sunday and Monday night were excel
lent and well attended and the chairs
from the Opera House having been se-
cured, ample room was afforded to
comfortably seat all who presented
themselves.
Tuesday night large congregation
was also on hand, and although not
crowded as we have seen it on similar
occasions, 1t was the least difficnlt to
seat oneself. The sermon on this oc-
casIon was, as we'll as we could Judge,
not being present Mt the beginning
upon the subject of "Man made in the
Image of God. Should not be DetileB,"
and was grandly and intellectually
handled 10y Father O'Conner, com
manding the Undivided attention of his
hearers who We're for over an hour held
spell bound under the eloquent and log
ical effort of this fluent and eminent
divine. The song service, accompa-
nled by Miss Ada Sandoz, organist, was
ssnperb and participated in 10y
Misses Blanche Lacombe, Annie
Andrus, Olympic Laas, Sallie Pow
ers. A. Labyche and the Misses Es-
forge. This feature alone ought to
secure the faithful attendance OF all
the lovers of music and song.
We learn that on Wednesday night
the attendance was equally as full, and
that a splendid sermon was preached

your columns for III expression of my
views upon question which has al
ready gained currency through the
press, and which is certainly an i'm
portant one. | mean the building of
another Catholic church in our town.
The subject is ii delicate one. for the
reason that consideration has been
given it for many years, and until to-
day has not been determined hy those
in charge. The problem agitated is one
OF two propositions build the present
church larger, in order to afford accom-
mohatiOn for both, Or build another
chnrch for the colorei people-or for
bOth-conducted on the present sys-
TEN.
The grounds which adioins the ceine-
tary on on" sih. and Union street on
the other, | submit could not be IL more
desirable or. snitahie locality. 1t has
been suggested to bnild church in diff
ferent quarters for the convenience of
those living at IA distance. Then, should
this be the case, build it at Tie other OK
tIemlty of our corporation, which will,
besides prove material saving in the
price Of land.
The proposition advanced of til. old
see the sense, Us it is but few stones
throw from the ample ground which was
specially donated for that purpose, and
for no other. The property known as
the Block Store is another site besides
being centrally located, it is surrounded
hy business houses, and by no means
Il suitable location as a place of wor-
shin.
That the suffice: as already stated is

where it is the only church known to
them where they were taught religious
precepts--where they were baptized.

tion and marriage VOWS where their
kindred are buried, aud finally, where
they themselves expect one day to
lay side by si,,e-I submit, are ties not
easily to be forgotten
In conclusion, lam Of the opinion that
should it he necessary to build Il uew
chnrc|i-we having mere than ample
ground already donated for that pnr-
puse-it should he bnilt on the present
grounds. 1n the event that it is re-

Every now and then Il moral breeze
strikes this community, and then all
the good men and reformed reprobates
get together and commence to discuss
the advisability of removing the fallen
women from town or from the section
of town which is in such close proximi-
ty to tho University. The city men
want them removed to the country and
the country men want them to remain
in the city, hut neither want them too
far away! Verify, verify, brothers, this
is hard subject to tackle-it is like
monkeying with a stick with tar at
both ends, and the Dingley bill simply
amt in it, Some very excellent men who
spring from the "best families in the
city," who love to prate about personal
liberty, tell us that any attempt of the
city council to remove these unfOr-
tunate women is a gross assumption of
authority and altogether "oDconstitoo
tona}," and that fallen women are ne
cessary evils, yet they want some other
fellow to furnish the necessary evil"
Yes, as we remarked before, it is an
exceedingly hard question to handle,
and can only be satisfactorily solved
by specialists, and for this reason We
retire from the field.-Baton Rouge

Mistaken for a Ghost.

On Monday night last at about 9
o'clock one of the clerks at Chaci.ere &
Evans store came out of the warehouse
with wild hook on his thin visage. and
upon meeting a representative OF the
COURIER who happened to be present,
said in an excited tone that he had just
heard some loDd nuises back i'm there,
and prevailed npon the typo who is
somewhat snperstitious himself. to help
him To locate the noise and find and
eject the intruder. We took the lamp
and the twain with bated breath, aud
crOwding against one another, creeped
slowly and silently in among the freight
piles, and had proceeded but few
steps, when, sure enough, both dletsnct-
ly heard loud noise. and looking
half around at each other. concluded
quickly to beat a small retreat, for the
purpose of-wcll, considering IA lit
tie. After partly recovering our equi-
librinm, we decided that We couldn't
tell where nor what the noise WAS, the
fact being that we hadn't stage long
enough to concentrate oar thoughts
upon anything. Finally ye typo, hav-
ing more curiosity than pluck, re-
solved. with IA good light, tn re-enter
the freight house, provided, the clerk
who positively refused to accompany
him, would stay in sight in case of
trouble He started around the room,
but upon again hearing said noises, bur
ried back to get more help. One of the
propriet0rs, as cool as II cucumber, (t
wasn't Bob) unhesitatingly came to the
rescue, and suddenly tho curious
noses were i,usiied, but the search con
tinued at length. the party finally re-
entering the store aud had seated
themselves with many forehodings and
coniectures as to whether visitors from
the Syirit-Land hadn't dropped down
to see us, wheu-somebody's old pointer
dog slyly sneaked out OF the ware
room and coming around greeted us
with friendly smile.
