The dedicatory ceremonies were impos-

canonical robes. The. procession of clergy
leaving the old cathedral, now the Catho-
lie Library Association building marched
to the new cathedral and slowly moved
around the building as the Bishop blessed
it. The procession then entered. The SOL
emn Fontitical Mass was said by Rt. Rev.

by Very Rev. p. Dufau, Vicar General Of
81. Augustine; deacon Of the mass, Father

The entire block between Liberty and
Harris and Abercorn and Lincoln streets
was occupied by the Cathedral, the Bish-
ops residence and by the convent and
chapel. The loss Of the Cathedral is a
severe one, not only to the parish but to
the entire diocese. It was dear to every
catholic heart and its loss, with its
splendid affairs, its magnificent windows,
and those of its sacred treasures, which
were not saved, fails heavily upon the
church

started by a lighted candle which the Or
gan pumperscarelessly left in the loft.
At 2:90 O'Clock the firemen seemed to
have the fire where there was no danger
to the Bishops residence. Their efforts
throughout had been directed toward saw
ing it.
Some criticism was heard from those
who possibly did not grasp the situation
about the method emp Dyed in fighting the
fire. The majority of the spectators how
ever, were of the opinion that excellent
judgment had teen displayed Some
thought that the firemen should have di-
rected their streams through the windows
into the blazing building This would have
been useless, as The fire had progressed so
far by the time the department arrived
that an attempt to save the building
would have proven of no avail. The devo-
ton of their entire efforts to the protection
of the Bishops residence and the convent
was regarded as excellent management
and the chiefs were commanded for having
adopted this plan.
The streams first thrown upon the build
ing were rather feeble This was owing
TO their being merely hose streams. All
of the engines were at the River street
fire when the Cathedral alarm sounded.
Only the hose wagons could get away.
They made quick trip to the new lOca-
ton, and ran off their lengths of hose.
The tiTemen started to work. but could
not hope to achieve any great results I'M
til the arrival of the engines. These had
to take more time in order TO get in read
mess for the new run. When they ar
rived no time was lost in getting to work.
AS soon as the engines power was felt
a great difference was percepuble in the
streams The feeble hose strains were
swelled in strength until they reached to
the topmost gables of the Cathedral.
Supt. Lotion of the water works was
at the fire and was interested in noting
how the water supply held up. He was
pleased with what he saw. Mr.. Lotion
said that the station has been pumping
100000 gallons of water a day since the
epidemic of fires began. Ordinarily the
amount is something more than 100000
gallons. He has regarded it as necessary
to keep a heavy pressure on in view of the
many fires, and the wisdom of this was
shown in the departments work yester-
day. There was no lack of water. 1t was
impossible for enough pressure to be Sc
cured, the superintendent said, unless the
assistance of the engines could be had.
The fire on River street had made a
great demand upon the supply, and the
continuance of the streams ON that fire
while that at the Cathedral was being
fought was sufficient to make the streams
less powerful than they would otherwise
have been.
At O'clock that part of the Cathedral
next to the Bishops residence was still in
tact. The windows were not burned out,
and it looked as if the fremen would be
successful in preventing any further loss.
Even there the Cathedral was badly dam
aged by both fire and water, but the loss
of woodwork is not total as in the greater
part of the building. 1t was charred and
smoke stained, but had not burned away.

THE CONVENT THREATENED.
The Sisters and Pupils Moved to
Nearby Houses.

The Sisters and Pupils Moved to
Nearby Houses.
The sisters in the Convent of Mercy
were first warned of the fire, after the
alarm had been turned in. The young
lady students were aroused and the con-
vent doors were opened to admit many
whose anxiety and thoughtfulness made
them think of the sisters and their safety
at once.
Naturally, the sisters and the pupils
were alarmed. There was very little dam
ger, though, of fire communicating to the
convent, unless the wind should change.
Father Hennessy, assisted by a dozen
men, looked after the furniture and the
more valuable belongings of the convent
were removed All of the convent rec
ords with the paintings, some statuary
and other furniture, were taken to the res
idence of Mr.. James McGrath, across the
street.
Mother Bonaventure and some of the
sisters were also taken to Mr.. McGrath's
house. Some of The sisters and students
were also taken to Mr.. Harry T. Will
sons and some went to ST. Joseph's In
Urinary
At one time it looked as if the south
wing of the school room and chapel, which
projected TO WlLIIH Il lew ACCN VI NAi~ Ne'NAA~-

was kept in readiness for such an emer-
The furniture in the school room was
scattered about and some Of 1t was remov-
ed but when there appeared to be no dan
ger of the fire communicating 70 the con-
vent. Father Hennessey gave orders not
to remove any more.
Besides the large number of men who
looked after the convent and the furni-
ture a number Of ladies OF the congrega,

reassuring them that the convent was not

Had the convent burned the loss would
have been total and almost irreparapie' as
there was but 5000 insurance on the
hnii6ing and none on the furniture. AS It
IS the only loss will be to the furniture,
some of which was damaged in being re-
moved.

There was bonded Indebtedness on the

Hundreds of Catholics were at the fire.
All felt keenly the loss the parish sustains
in the destruction of the Cathedral One
said he had no doubt that the building
will be restored. The walls and the spires
represent a considerable part of the value
of the Cathedral, and the rebuilding will
not cost anything like the original amount.
Capt. John r. Dillon has the drawings
for the building and the plans and speci-
ticadous. These We're used when the
spires were added two years ago. They
may be used again for the restoration
Capt. Dillon said he could not say ANY,
thing as to the steps that will be taken
for the re-erection of the Cathedral at this
time.
The evening services were the last cele-
brated in the CATHEDRAL. Vespers were
sung and the benedicion was given by

to reach the belfry and ring the bell. but
the tower was afire and it could not be
reached. The fan of the bell was looked
for every minute but it held its place.

of Paris. with nave and transeps. The
interior was lofty and imposing; the triple
rows Of groined arches meeting at their
apices, sixty-fve feet above the floor,
supported by columns of bronze exquisite
ly capped with original compositions. The
main altar was of white marble. The
principal side affairs to the Sacred Heart
and to the Virgin and to st. Joseph were
beautiful in their design and decoration.
Above the altar to the Virgin copy Of
Murillos Immaculate Conception" hung.

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PERMA-
NENTLY CURED.
A New Discovery, hut Not n Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was man who
had suffered to my knowledge for years
with dyspepsia Everything he ate SEEM
ed to sour and create acid and gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheumatism
in the back shoulder blades and limbs,
fullness and distress after eating, poor APP
petite and loss of flesh; the heart became
affected, causing palpitation and sleepless-
ness at night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but 10 no purpose As an
experiment / finally bought a fifty-cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
a drug store and gave them to him. Al
most immediate relief was given and after
he had used four boxes he was to all ap-
peararces fully cured.
There was no more aeidlty or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appe tite was vigorous and he has gain
ed between 20 and u pounds in weight of
solid, healthy flesh
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
advertised and sold in drug stores, yet I
consider them most valuable addition to
any PHYSICIANS line of remedies, as they
are perfectly harmless ard can be given
to children or iuval!ds or i'm any condition
of the stomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but vege-
table and fruit essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the safest,
most effective cure for Indigestion bilious
ness, constipation and all arrangements Of
the stomach, however slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere at fifty cents for full
sized package.
