mont, who was cured by st: Anne. Of
painful rheumat ism which incapaci-
tated him for hard work. After he had
placed three stones in the foundation,
he found himself instantly cured, to
the great consolation and admiration
of his friends and neighbors. Owing to
local conditions. the first chapel was
never completely finished, but in 1862
the second chapel was completed,
which was located nearer the hill than
the first. Shame showed that this new
temple was no less pleasing to her than
the first; and granted every kind of
favor to those who venerated her. In
1876 a third church, built Of stone, was
dedicated. It was twice restored, once
in 1894, and later in 1857, and was used
for public worship until 1876. The
present. basilica is one of the finest
church structures in Canada. It's con-
struction was begun in 1872 and its
formal blessing occurred in 1876. Ow-
ing to the ever-increasing number of
pilgrims this church was enlarged in
1886 and a year later Pope Leo XIII.
raised it to the rank of basilica. Tho
new church contains numerous affairs
of great artistic value, but its most inn
posing feature is pedestal supporting
large statue of st. Anne and child.
This pedestal is cut out of an onyx
block and highly. polished. At the foot
of this statue the faithful pray for re-
lief from mental and bodily ills; and
the hundreds of clutches, tbandages,
trusses, plaster casts and other evil
dences Of physical sufferings grouped
near the main entrance to the church
bear eloquent testimony to believers
that petitions addressed to St. Anne
find a gracious hearing. 800,
Pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Anne
de Beaupre occur at frequent inter-
walls, and at times thousands of pill.
grims join in procession to do honor to
her revered name. Every pilgrim is
given an opportunity to venerate the
hly-prized relics belonging to the
church. The most, valued of these is .
fragment of a finger bone of St. Anne.
which was brought from Carcassone..
France, and which was exposed: for the
first time March 5, 1870, and has not
ceased to be the object Of fervent de-
NOTION. Letters attesting the .authen-

A Freak Runaway.

A freak runaway occurred in Mime
apolis, when q horse became fright
#ened 1t the rear of the postofice, start
ed out the alley, continued across the
street. and rushed into the saloon Of
Tom Gallagher. The animal was
hitched to a buggy, and as the vehicle
struck the door the horses wild career
came to stop. It goes without say
ing that the greatest excitement was
caused about the place. But very
funny thing followed. It was impos-
sible to back the horse out, and as the
buggy was firmly wedged into the
sides of the. door, there, was nothing
to do but unhitch the horse and walk
it through the saloon to the alley.
The police then assumed charge of the
animal. -

fourteen organizations were present.
Mr.. Milford Spohn, the delegate to the
recent convention of the National Building
Trades Council at Milwaukee. made a YER
bal report of the proceedings of the con-
vcntion.
Several propositions were considered and
were finally referred TO the various organi-
cations interested. These, if adopted, will
il Is stated, make quite d change in the
conditions under which union labor is
worked in this locality.
The first of these suggestions IS that IN
future no union men affiliated with the
Building Trades Council shall work on q
Job where nOn-union men are employed
Another is that no union shall declare a
strike upon It's own account, but shall have
its grievances adjusted, or, if necessary a
strike shall be declared by the BUILDING
Trades Council, and all unions shall abide
by the decision of the latter.
Still another is that the Building Trades
Council shall employ a delegate to attend
To its affairs, such agent to be paid by in.
creased dues to the Building Trades Coun-
ell. either by per capita or by organiza-
tons.
The secretary was instructed to forward
the proposed suggestions TO The several or.

GAVE THE WRONG NAME.
Dead Mans Sister Seeks to Have Rec
Ords Corrected.

There died at the Washington Asylum
Hospital, the 22d of last October, a young
Frenchman who had stated to the hospital
officials that his name was Louis Alexan-
drieuX. The young man had been admitte
to the hospital from the Central Union
Mission. After his death letters signed
Boidin, postmarked Paris, France, were
found in his effects. Recently young wo-
man, Mile. A. Parpoix, residing in Phila-
delphia, called upon the hospital officials
claiming to be the sister Of the dead Ian
and declaring that his true name was Eu-
gene Louis Alexandra ParpoiX. She pre-
sented a letter from the charge d'affaires
of the French embassy here, M. Thiebaut,
tending to substantfate her claims, together
with other evidence. She therefore re-
quested the District authorities to modify
the death certificate by placing therein her
brothers real and full name.
Doubling their authority IN the matter
the Commissioners refereed the question to
their attorney, who has advised them tha.
if DR.. Hicklng, the physician in charge Of
the Washington Asylum Hospital, is salts
fled that the name given by Mile. Parpoix
was really that of the dead man, he will
be justified in so amending The death Ger
tlIicate.

Had Lost His VaIise.

Elliott NJ Bascom. a Mexican veteran
ana formerly resident of Michigan, called
at police headquarters early this morning
and asked the police to assist him in find.
ing his valise. During recent months Mr.
Bascom has lived in western New York
and on account of the severity of the
weather he concluded he would come hers
and spend a few weeks at Soldiers Home
He seemed surprised that the police .could
not direct him to the lunch room where h.
had left the valise, which was of the teIe.
scope variety, when he had given aoo7
description of the place.
In the town where he lived he said, he
knew every building and business man
Detective Hewlett soon found his telescope
for him and directed him to Soldiers
Home.
