mense congregation, ten candidates
four boys and six girls-were con
tirmed by Bishop Leonard. The cere-
mony is always an impressive one
and seemed especially SO last night
In his address to those confirmed the
bishop gave some excellent advice to
the young folks starting out on their
new career. His words were practi
cal and to the point-well worth
needing. The sermon which follow
ed was no less interesting anu worthy
of remembrance. The music was very
fine. The grand old songs which
form so large part of the beautiful
evening service never seemed more
lovely. Perhaps the music of the

Keep the Balance Up,

1t has been truthfully said that any

the least imprudence brings on sick

PLANNING TO ABOLISH STRIKES

A meeting will take place In New
York on Tuesday of this week be-
tween representatives of capital and
labor to devise II possible some plan
by which to avoid strikes and lock.
outs The meeting will be held under
the auspices OF the National Civic fed
Grafton, which has been working on
the scheme in the hope of preventing
the disasters which are SO expensive
TO both laborers and employers.
There was time not many years
ago when pessimists predicted con.
fiict between labor and capital that
would be little less than revolutionary
In character and which was bound to
come sooner or later But that con
hict has not yet come. and II looks
less probable now than II did twenty
years ago. The approaching meeting
is nm indication of desire to settle
the differences between the two great
factors in the industrial problem.
Yearly contracts have been pro.
posed as means of avoiding labor
disputes, and II is probable that II
adopted they would eo far to prevent
both strikes and lockouts during the
continuance OF the contracts. A strike
might occur at the end OF contract.
but 1t is more likely that labor unions
and employers would find working in
harmony so advantageous that they
would make special effort at the end
OF every contract year to enter into a
new agreement. II means OF pre-
venting these costly disputes is dis

coLUMsA's CHURCH.
Father erockbank breaches to a Big
Congregation.

The Catholic church was filed to
overfiowing last evening. A large
congregation. made up of all denomi-
Brockbank. the eloquent Dominican
priest of Denver, who during the past
week has conducted mission services
in this city. Those who have heard
Father Brockbank will agree that he
Is most persuasive and gifted speak
er. with delivery beyond criticism
His address is not of the fiorid style
abounding in telling sentences, but
has the ease and simplicity of the
highest art.
The father took for his theme
"Courtship and Marriage" two topics
always interesting because of their
far reaching effect on the life of the
world. He spoke at length in answer
to the question. why do priests never
marry" To a married man home
should be the dearest spot on earth.
the center round which all his hopes
and thoughts should revolve. For
the sake of these dear ones man has
no right to risk his life in contagious
diseases, in attendance on the sick
and dying A married mans life is
valuable on account of those depend
ing on him. A celibate priest was
free to devote his life and thought to
his congregation. His people took
the place of the families of other
men. When it came to a question of
risking life for the peoples sake,
,ryho ctr
er. Many instances were cited in H.
lustration of these various points. of
which the barest outline only is given.
In speaking of courtship the father
gave some excellent advice to young
people. He deplored the haste with
which many rush into matrimony.
They do not wait to become acquaint-
ed with each other but marry in haste
to repent at leisure. Too often the
young people before marriage act in
each others presence as if behind a
mask, concealing their real natures
and disposition. Better be honest
before it is too late. If the faults
and failings of each were known be-
fore marriage there would be less un-
happiness in married life and fewer
divorces.
The speaker then went on to say
that the church believes in the sa-
credness of the marriage ceremony.
1t is contracted before God and man
and should not be annulled by the
court.
Father Brockbank is evidently a
keen student of human nature. He
recognized the many humorous pha-
ses of courtship and made his congre-
agtion recognize them with him. Dur
ing this part of the sermon his hear
ers listened with absorbing interest,
apparently fearful of missing a word.
1t was decidedly amusing to watch
the expression on some of the faces
sort of guilty but | don't care If
am" look. Evidently they had been
there.
Just before the sermon rs ladies of
the church. who that afternoon had
been organized into Ladies' sodality,

took the pledge and received the badge
of the order.

He went step further, and said
1T has always been the desire OF the

purpose OF inducing the largest prac.

Colorado City and throughout Cripple
Creek that there Is some friction be
tween the smelters and the chemical
mills which has effected n cut OF 50
cents a ton on smelling charges for
the benefit Of the miners. Taking n
fair, unbiased view OF the situation as
IT stands today, I can form no other
conclusion thnn that the miner instead
OF being oppressed is getting rather
