Solemn Services In the Camp by Chan,
lain VIM. Colbert.

E. B. Smith. staff correspondent Of
the Minneapolis Journal with the 18th
Minnesota volunteers at Chickamauga.
writes as follows Of the Sunday services
in camp by FIR. William Colbert, of s.,
Paul, the chaplain of the regiment:
One of these services held today by
FIR. Colbert, chaplain of the 14th, was
the grandest I have ever seen. 1t took
place in the camp of the list New HamD-
shire and by actual count was attended
by 3,2O7 people. A little elevation had
been chosen for the site of the service,
and on this the men had erected neat
ly-laid altar Of flat stones. Back of the
altar, also made of stones, a grayish-
white cross CLEANED against the back
ground Of dark green foliage, the whole
forming a picture that will always re-
main indelibly stamped on the memory
of every man who saw it.. AS FIR. Col
bert advanced to the altar and took his
station, a great hush fell upon the vast
assemblage, and every head was barred
every knee was bent, and every land
made the sign of the cross. From the
moment the service began until it was
over, the most perfect decorum pre-
vailed and reverence, such as I have
never before seen, marked the ceremony
throughout There were men present
there from half the states of the Union,
New Hampshire contributing the most.
In the South Carolina regiment, there is
but one man Of the Catholic faith. but
he was present.
To FIR. Colbert belongs the honor Of
being the only priest in Camp Thomas,
and the demands upon his time, as may
well be imagined, are many and varied.
Last night at his tent IN the 14th regi-
ment camp he listened to confessions
until after midnight. This morning he
held early mass which was attended by
large audience, including several
commissioned officers from the nearby
regiments. At the conclusion of his
service he preached to the members Of
the 14th and then Immediately set out
for New Hampshire camp. He is a
very tired man tonight, but very happy
one withal.
Notwithstanding all the claims made
upon FIR. Colbert, he always has time to
listen to anyone who seeks him out
Modest, unassuming, reticent, he goes
about his work doing with his whole
might whatever his hand finds to do.
He has always word of friendly: coun-
sci for those who seek him, and his
gentle admonitions rarely fail of ac
complishing the purpose for which they
were uttered.

A quiet wedding was celebrated at
st. Thomas Cathedral Tuesday morn
ing at 1880 o'clock, when Mr.. John r.
Baker and Miss Louise Leah Burke,
were made husband and wife. Rt. Rev.
Bishop Cotter performed the ceremony,
after which mass was said by Rev.

acted as best man, and Miss Mate c.
Burke, sister of the bride, was brides

the ceremony the wedding party re-
turned to the home of the brides
mother, on Sanborn street, where an
elaborate wedding breakfast was served.
The house was beautifully decorated
with palms, smilax, ferns and cut Aow-

the archbishop has been consulted"
That fact reflects great honor on the
Spanish prelate. Mr.. Foster, a Prot
estant gentleman. who recently spoke in
st. Paul, declared that without the CO.
operation Of the Catholic archbishop
and clergy Of the islands, the United
States could not successfully govern
them if it assumed a protectorate over
them. Mr.. Foster spent a longer time
in the Philippines than Mr.. Mannix and
has nothing but words of praise for the
work accomplished by the Catholic
church in civilizing and Christianizing
the original inhabitants. What Mr..
Mannix says of the priests as a Catholic
visitor is not half so supplementary as
what Mr.. Foster says of them as Prot
estant. Perhaps that is because he
mingled more among the members of
the Catapunian society. secret politi-
cal organization which contributed
funds to the insurgents to buy NUM-
lions of war. or perhaps he associated
with Americans, Germans and British
ers, nine out of every ten of whom, he
says, has been secretly in sympathy
with the revolutionists. We do not
doubt that the natives of the Philip
pines have been oppressed by the Span
ish government, but what will it avail
them to become subjects of another
power if the United States disposes
OF the islands to the highest bidder for
cash?

The only thought England vouch-

DR.. Lyman Abbott, the editor of "Out-
Look" and successor of Henry Ward
Beecher in the pulpit of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, preached last Sunday
to large gathering at the Peoples
church, st. Paul. If the Pioneer Press
reported him accurately his address on
the occasion does not add much to his
reputation. and we are inclined 10
think that like other Eastern
men his abilities are vastly
overestimated by his admirers.
After bestowing a vain-glorious
eulogy on the American char
acter he finished his discourse as fol-
lows:
Il hope to see the stars and stripes
interwined with the union jack, two
countries. one people; two flags, one
purpose. Let us no longer bear on our
banners, America for Americans but
America for the world, America under
God for humanity" The Pioneer Press
reporter says that the 1000 people at
these words burst into unrestrained an

MANNIx IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The Review Of Reviews for June con-
tains an article entitled IAN American
in the Philippines, from the pen of
Joseph t. Mannix, the well-kn Min
neapolis reporter. What he saws in
the magazine substantially appeared in
MS correspondence to the Evening Jour-
nal Of this city. Mr. Mannix has the
faculty of saying very little in great
many words, and is an expert space-
writer. In his illustrated article of
nine pages in the New York notify. he
does not give any new information. He
appears to dislike the Spanish friars in
the Philippines, of which there are
about 5000, and refers to them as the
property owning and power-loving fri
ars whose political domination FUR
nishes one of the many grievances
which have given rise to the present in
surrection." He admits that there is
great deal of Free Masonry in. the
islands, but is quite decidedly Of the
opinion that there is no foun-
dation for the theory that
the revolt has religious sig
nificance Mr.. Mannix says that the
rebels will receive with open arms and
grateful hearts the soldiers of America.
Time will determine whether they will
or not
He thinks that great many of the
natives will be influenced by the priests,
who will strive industriously to make
their people believe it is case of
strong Protestant nation going out ON a
mission Of conquest to gobble IN and
protestantze Catholic country" If
tho jingoes and Protestant ministers Of
this country have their way
that is exactly what will happen. Mr..
ManniX says that las a Catholic who is
somewhat familiar with the conditions
in the Philippines" he believes that
the efforts of the friars in this direc-
ton will be almost wholly Intellectual"
1t appears that Mr.. Mannix had an
interview with Gen. Aguinaldo, the
iee'uSi VI IHe houi 6eliIs. why ala ne
not call upon the Spanish archbishop,
the most influential man in the country,
according to Protestant travellers? The
fact is that Mr.. Mannix is only a Cath
Ollie in name. When private secretary
to exMayor Eustis Of this city, he re-
ceived vote of thanks from the
Orangemen in convention assembled for
insisting on threat of dismissal that
Catholic members of the police force
should act as on escort for the ignor-
ant bigots. Prior to his departure
from Minneapolis he complied with his
religious obligations, and carried away
with him pair of beads on his trip
round the world, Whether he has since
used them or not we are unable to say,
but there is no evidence whatever in
his writings that he has the slightest
sympathy with the church of his fathers
in any land he has visited.
AS Mr.. Mannix found hostility to-
wards American newspaper men espec-
tally pronounced" in the Philippines, he
fraternized with the insurgents, and
found it difficult for Americans to re.
