west. He was met with opposition In
his colonization scheme by the priests
at Bourbonnais and by Rev. Mr. Lebel
of Chicago. Several Of the prominent
residents of the village offered to as
sist Chiniquy in selecting site for
his colony and, with them. he started
to select the highest point OF land In
Illinois for his first town. in order to
secure the purest air and water for
the new immigrants. He finally locat-
ed the village Of st. Anne. naming 1t
thus after the famous st, Anne do
Beaupre in Canada. Within ten days
after the location had been made fifty
families planted their tents about
Chiniquy's. The hardships Of the col
ony during that winter were terrible,
az most OF the colonists were with
out money and insufficiently provided
with clothing to protect them from
the rigors Of the season. Chiniquy
and two OF the members of the camp
used to kill every day sufficient wild
game to feed the people. The colony
worked in harmony, and by the open
ing OF spring over forty small log huts
had been erected. together with a
church building about forty feet
square. At this time the colony num-
bered more than 100 families. and there
were more than 500 adults.
Notwithstanding opposition. over
1000 immigrants came from France,
Belgium, and Canada during 1853. The
priest at Bourbonnais had been dis
missed and Chiniquy was given charge
of the church at that place in addition
to his charge at st. Anne. This priest
located just across the Illinois line in
Indiana, and began proselyting Six
hours after the dedication of the
church the building was in ashes.
Shortly after this fire Rev. Mr..
O'Reagan was appointed bishop of
Chicago. On one occasion the bishop
visited st. Anne to confirm a large
class and. seeing fine house in pro-
cess Of erection. inquired who the
owner was. Chiniquy said 1t was his.
and the bishop demanded 1t. as the
laws OF the church denied the owner
ship OF property by priests. In 1857 he
was excommunicated. Such was his
influence over his people that out Of
over 400 families residing near the vii
.lage Of st. Anne all but fifteen follow
ed him out OF the church and Joined
the Presbyterian church. On April 15.
1850, the presbytery OF Chicago ad-

a Washington correspondent writes:
Senator Lodge, who for some reason
prides himself on the purity OF his
English, was addressing the Senate on
the naval personnel bill. He had
reached n lofty oratorlcal plane and
was telling grandly why he favored the
measure. He gave many reasons. but
the one upon which he laid special
stress was because 1t will stop the
