PORTY HOURS DEVOTION.
They Began Yesterday Morning at
81. Peter's Cathedral.

Forty Hours Devotion began with
the late mass yesterday in st. Peters
cathedral. Rev. j. A. O'Reilly was
celebrant OF the mass Rev. d. j. Mac
Goldrick was deacon; Rev. p. j..
Cough was sub-deacon; and Rev. j..
j. B. Feeley was master of ceremonies.
The main altar was eXquisitely deco
rated. After mass the Blessed Sacra-
ment was placed in the ostensorium,
and this service was accompanied by
a professional escort of sixty girls Of
from II to IL years. They were dress
ed in white, with wells, and each one
carried a fragrant bouquet of flowers.
They were aligned at St. Cecilias ac-
ademy and marched up the main aisle
to the sanctuary rail. The altar boys
numbered 20 and they chanted the
"Pange Lingua.' The Litany of the
Saints was chanted and benediCtion
concluded the services.
The sermon in the evening was
preached by Rev. John Loughran, of
Holy Cross, Bellevue. His text was.
II am the Good Shepherd, and I lay
Down My Life for the Sheep" The
old law, said the speaker, contained
the shadow of the new law: and the
new law is the fulfillment Of the old.
The old law made sacrifices to God.
When Christ came into the world it
was divided in laws, philosophy and
teachings. He came to unite the dis
cordant elements, but in order to do
so it was necessary for God to die.
While He was on earth, though. he
dwelt among his sheep, fed them,
guarded them and gave up his life for
them. In order that He might never
desert the sheep He instituted His
church and left His body and blood in
the presence of bread and wine.
st. Peter was installed as head of
the church. Before Christ dice He
gave the bread and wine to the apos-
ties and told them to eat and drink of
His body and blood. He thus wiped
out the sacrifices of the old law and
instituted the sacrifices of the mass
Father Loughran spoke of the gran
deur of the Catholic church, it's uni
versatility, and its fulillment of the
teachings of Christ on earth.

THE Fund DISRANDS.

Saturday evening the final steps to-
ward the dishandment of the oxford
Mine Accidental fund were taken. AS
was exclusively stated in last Thurs
days Tribune a meeting was held by
a majority of the fund and after a
careful consideration of the state of
affairs it was agreed to close up the
funds arairs and distribute the
amount of money then in the treasury
among the members then in good
standing.
President S. Davies presided at the
meeting Saturday evening and the
business Of the funa was quickly trans
acted. Three hundred and seventy-tive
dollars remained in the treasurer's
hands and there being 100 members in
the fund each received about 81. a
vote of thanks was accorded the Off
GERS of the fund.
1t is not at all likely that coal will
ever again be hoisted or prepared at
the oxford mines. The breaker. which
was burned down about three weeks
ago, will likely not be rebuilt.

Comparison Between Spain and sa-
tan by Rev. DIR. &. NJ. Giffin.

Rev. DR.. c. NJ. Ghiftin spoke to great
audience in Elm Park church last
night from the text found in ii Cor. 2,
II, For we are not ignorant of his de-
vices" The speaker prefaced his re-
marks by referring to the present con-
fict with Spain. He said that it was
generally conceded that we have moro
men and money than SPAIN but there
are some who question whether we
have as much cunning or can employ
the Internal explosives, the diabolicaI
troachery--in fact whether we are as
smart as Spain.
Whether or not we are defective in
these points is another question which
is of greater Importance and this is:
Are we as smart as Satan. Spain and
Satan have an equal number of let
ters and the same initial. The news
papers are giving all necessary details
concerning the former and the speaker
proposed to consider the danger of the
latter. A brilliant exposition of tha
subject followed.

A Hundred IlensOns.

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in Tablet form which re-,
tains their good qualities indefinitely,
while liquid preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They are convenient, can be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, mingling
with the food, they constitute a per-
feet disgestive, absolutely safe for the
most sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before 1t has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous pro-
ducts of fermented, half digested food.
Staurt's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
Staurt's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
only remedy designed especially for the
cure of stomach troubles and nothing
else.
One disease. one remedy, the success
full physician of today is the specialist
the successful medicine is the medicine
prepared especially for one disease.
A whole package taken at one time
wuld not hurt you, but would simply
be waste of good material.

beautiful sermon yesterday morning
from the text, Hebrews, ,6:19-2O: (Which
hope we have as an anchor of the soul
both sure and steadfast." The address
was full of consolation to many who
are depressed at this time. He re-
ferrcd in touching terms to the death
of Joseph Boies and to the illness OF
Norman Mcleod, reading a telegram
from Princeton which gave little hopo
of his recovery.
In the course of his remarks he spoke
of the great hope that renders death
and the grave not all dark, but as an
eclipse when the corona yet remains to
shed its soft glow over the shadowed
sky, SO the blessed corona of hope
brightens the gloom of the soul. The
ship at anchor must battle with the
tide and the waves, while the drifting
vessel is seemingly unassailed, yet the
anchor holds in safety the one fast
cabled to its grasp. The choir sang
beautifully Kipling's Recessional.

The removal OF Joseph Church to a
hospital almost precipitated riot at
Bulls Head Saturday. 1t happened in
this way: Recently Church sustained
an injury TO the leg and blood poison
set in. His removal TO a hospital fol-
lowed on Saturday.
Church conducted the public pound
at Bulls Head and at the time of his
removal TO the hospital he had several
cows in captivity because they roamed
at large and Haunted their horns in
open defiance of the city ordinance in
such cases made and provided. When
he left his home Church turned the
pound over to one of his Italian ten
ants and when the owners of the cows
learned of this they decided to and did
make an onslaught on the pound. The
assault was resisted by the Italian and
his countrymen and the consequences
might have been serious had not
Patrolmen Reese and Jones been hur-
ried to the scene. They put an end TO
the disturbance.

STRANGE WELLS.
They Foreteii storms and Have In.
draughts and OutdTaughts.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A series of blowing or "whistling'
wells as they are called, in Polk coun-
ty, are causing a good deal of discuss
sion. The wells are six in number and
they range in depth from 120 to 100 feet,
but the one owned by James Calm, in
the town of Eureka, exhibits the most
remarkable features. 1t is 120 feet deep
and was dug fifteen years ago. The
first twenty feet is hardpan and the
rest coarse gravel. Before storm the
wind blows out Of this well with great
force, making a roaring, moaning
sound that can be heard a great dis
tance This current of air is so hot
that water placed over the well will
boil in a few seconds. The current
blows out only before a storm, and tho
severity and duration Of the storm is
accurately foretold by the force OF this
current and its duration.
10 the winter current Of air is
drawn in before a change of weather,
lust as forcibly as it blows out in hot
wcat her. This current will freeze water
r2G feet below the surface more quickly
than il would at the surface, and though
many attempts have been made TO use
Some years ago a house was built
over the We'll and a stove placed in 1t
so that il could be heated to an intense
degree, but, strange as it may seem,
this did not prevent the water from
freezing and bursting pipes 1l5 feet
lrom the surface, and though there are
nut eighteen or twenty inches Of water
IN the well in winter, ice freezes several
inches in thickness in spite of all pre-
VentiVeS.
Wndmills have been tried with the
same result, A windlass and bucket
have als1 been tried, but the water
freezes over so thick in one night that
a heavy stone dropped from the sur
face will not break the ice. In winter
the heavy downward current before a
change of weather win cause the water
10 lower, while i'm summer the outward
current causes the water to rise--some-
tines fifteen or twenty feet. The curb
ing in the well Is always dry and the
water Of good quality.
The other five wells resemble this in
air Ost every particular, They are To-
Gated within the radius of about one
mile and vary in depth from 1Sc TO 100
feet. Some of the characteristics are
not so pronounced as in the well de-
srriLrd. while others are even more
remarkable. Within half a mile of
these wells water is obtained a / a depth
Of flcm ten to thirty feet and the wells
exhibit none of these unusual symp-
toms.
