Cleared Of All Encum-
brance.

The hearts of the parishioners of All
Saints Catholic Church in Lafayette
were gladdened Sunday when the pas
tor, the Rev. Joseph H. Meehan. an
nounced that the debt Of $1O,500 ON the
reetory had been cleared and Il balance
OF So 100 left in the treasury. rhis COM
pieted one Of the greatest achievements
IN the history of the diocese. In the fiye
years that the parish has been in exis-
tence, $4,000 has been raised. Ali
Saints is a small parish, having been cut
from ST. Patricks parish and it has less
than one-quarter the parishioners that
the larger churcnes have Therefore, the
srecord is all the more one to oe proud of
IN these five years a debt OF ss7o00 has
been paid Off This sum was for the par
ish building and the home for the teacss-
ers of the parochial school 1t was only
last May that the pastor purchased the
rectory and other property near by lie
paid $4,000 for this and $3.50 sor altera
ions Ii is now one of the rrost eoSv
rectories in the diocese. This sl25o0. ha.s
been paid off since May. and S3.oo9 in cash
is new on nand.
Father Afeehan is proud Of the record,
TIe says the people have stood by him 10y
ally, and he extends MS H1st slhceic
thanks to them for their hearsy suppors.
II must say. said he that my efforts
have been crowned with success. Every
one of my people have stood By me faith-
fully. ! have no immediate plans for the
future of the parish For the present
ain fully satisfied.
Ii is quite likely that in time a new
church will be erected at COST of $4,000,
TINS will be near the parish briicing
For over twelve years Father Meehan
has had no vacation. He has worked
hard all those years for the successes he
now enjoys. The pastor said hat the
parishioners would not be asked to con-
tribute largely in the coming scar as ne
ala not wish to put too much Of a STRAIN
on the purses of his people.
The Christmas collection totalled s1,5o7.3 34
a surprisingly large amount fol so small
parish More funds are coming in ami
the sum may reach $1,000.
Father Meehan is a warm favorite with
his people. as their unusual generosity
during his pastorate has proven.

THE Volunteer Organist" at the
Bjiou Theatre.

Manager Homes OF the Bllcu lneatfe
could not have hit upon a happier seiee-
ton for the New Year'e week than The
Volunteer Organise Mods Of approval
and bursts Of applause showed the senti-
ment of the audience that filled the Biiou.
To that audience at least 1t was demon
strated by the author, William B. Gray,
that clergyman could marry saloon
keepers daughter and find in her one of
the best helpmates.
The scene is laid in a Vermont village,
where the prohibition element hold sway.
The authors idea is to hold up to ridi-
cule the hypocrisy of church deacon
groceryman. who. while shouting for pro-
hibition and the closing of licensed tav-
erns, sells booze in his rear room. THIS
style of AFFAIRS exists not only in the far
North 1t exists within fifty miles OF
washington, as the writer well knows.
1t was to show UP this hypocrisy that
Mr.. Gray wrote the play.
The play is wholesome. No man, II ne
knows anything can possibly sit in such
an audience without approval. The re-
clamation of a brother of the northern
village parson was the inspiration that
led TO the production of the play. At
times II seemed that it was another Ten
Nights in a Barroom, that has had a
run for many decades. It is far strong
er play than 'Ten Nights in a Barroom.
1t runs the gamut of the human emo
tions. Youth marriage and the love Of
home ties are admirably depicted.
Mr.. c. e. Bunnell as Tom Sturgis the
reclaimed brother of Pareon Howard
Sturgis. did splendid WORK without over
doing it. One of the great special features
is the singing in church choir by Willie
and Johnnie Nelson in a great church
scene, when they sing THE Holy City,,
THE Palms and Lead, Kindly Light"
There is also a great country winter
scene. where the child of Sam Yokum,
log cutter. another reclaimed man,
through the parsons efforts, is lost in
blizzard, and nearly all the cast with two
great st. Bernard dogs, equipped as on
the Russian or Siberian steppes. figure in
the search.
The cast is strong.

Common Sorrow Over John 3. Pills.
bury's Death.
Minneapolis, Oct. 20. - The death OF
Former Governor John s. Pillsbury
yesterday morning caused profound
sorrow In all elements, of society. The
more prominent business mel Of Min
neapolis esteemed him as q public
spirited man whose advice was sound.
The working classes Of the city had
long recognized MI. Pillsbury as a man
Of kindly sympathy and humanity, who
was always ready to encourage any
organization or movement calculated
to amellorate the condition OF h COM
mon people. The army OF students at
the university, while familiar with the
fact that Mr.. Pillsbury was Ill, had
hardly looked for his death, and his
passing away came as a sad surprise.
Thee was one general sentiment In
favor. OF the abandonment Of the Min

in the same church at 2 O'Clock. The
interment will be at Lakewood GEM

of the attorney general and the prohi-

resorts there. Most of Che places az
Mardan are already under injunction
and if liquor is being sold there, n
sellers are liable to arrest at n tlme
for contempt of court. This would
bring them directly before Judge VIM

places in Mandan last spring, and when

order had been issued by the district
court releasing the buildings from In

found, but it was claimed to be in pos7

who was then in Europe, or In his safe

Reapportionment Of representation
in Canada after a new census is a
simpler matter than in the United
States. When the Dominion was
FORMED the rule was adopted that the
Province Of Quebec should always
have sixty-fve members of the Lower
House of Parliament. The population
Of Quebec, divided by sixty-flve, fur
nishes, therefore, the basis Of repre-
sentation for the other provinces.
Under the new ap%portionment, while
Quebec remains stationary, Ontario
and the Maritime Provinces will lose
representatives, and British Columbia
and Manitoba will gain.

NORTH DAkoTA's NEW BISHOP.
DR.. Cameron Mann Is Unanimously
Elected.

DR.. Cameron Mann Is Unanimously
Elected.
DR.. Cameron Nj mn Of Kansas City,
Who was nominated by the house OF
bishops Of the Episcopal convention at
San Francisco to be missionary bishop
of North Dakota, was unanimously ac-
copied by the house of delegates, which
had rejected the bishops previous
choice, Capt. Charles Pierce Of the
army.
DR.. Mann possesses the robust health
which alone was lacked by Capt.
Pierce. The Kansas City rector. tall
and stalwart, realizes ones ideal of the
wholesome, vigorous Christian.
DR.. Mann is the most prominent Epis-
copal clergyman in Kansas City. His
administrative abilities are reflected in
the unusual prosperity of his parish.
Upon becoming rector Of Grace church.
nineteen years ago, he found a small
congregation, a small church edifice.s
and conditions far from satisfactory
II soon became necessary to enlarge the
little building. Subsequent enlarge
ments proved insufficient, and at last
q new stone building was, erected,
which is anion the most attractive Of
Missouri churches.
The rector of Grace church has been
equally admired as a writer and an or
ator. His e%loquence in the pulpit is
recognized, and his speeches at the tri-
ennial convention have given him
marked influence among American
churchmen. His theological writings
have been received with approval. His
principal works are Future Punisl-
ment." published in 1888, and Com.
ments on the Cross issued in 1892.
The new bishop of North Dakota .is
little more than middle-aged. He wa
bern in New York city. He received
his degree Of B. A. from Hobart Divin-
ity school in 1870. Six years later the
same institution made him Master Of
Arts. In 1889 he was honored by Ho-
bart with the title of doctor Of divinity.
MI. Mann became a deacon in 1879
In 1876 he was. advanced to the priest
hood by Bishop Coke Of western New
York. The first charge of the young
clergyman was at Branchport, N. IT,,
where he was stationed in 1873. He.
went to st. Peters church, at Albany.
in 1875, and to st. James, at Watkins,
N. Y, a short time afterward. He re-
manned even a in his third parish
before removing to Kansas City.
