Impressive Ceremonies Held at st.
Mary's Cathedral at
Peoria.

The celebration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the elevation of Bish-
OPP Spalding To the bishopric of the
diocese of Peoria i'm Peoria yesterday
was an elaborate ceremony and was
attended by Il large number of dis
tinguished clergy and dignitaries of
the Catholic church.
The services commenced at 9:I5
o'clock with procession of all the
diocesan clergy and the franciscan
brothers. all the bishops and arch
bishops marching with the exception
of Archbishop ireland. The process
sion formed at Spalding Institute,
three blocks from the cathedral, and
marched through dense thrung to
the diocesan cathedral. ST. Marys.
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ire
land joined the procession from the
episcopal residence adjoining the ca
thcdral. The weather during the
early part of the day was mugnifi-
cent. BY noon clouds had ovcrspread
the sky and during the afternoon
heavy rain interfered somewhat with
the entertainment.
The vast interior of the cathedral
was l'dthtu WIFI humanity. ] lt pro-
cession occupied some time entering
the church. Cardinal Gibbons was
the center of interest as nc marched
up the center aisle.

livered by that eminent churchman.

for the light is come and the glory
of the Lord is risen upon ye." In
substance, his sermon was Il review
of the growth of the christian reIig-
ion from the time il was first planted
in Rome, the center of pagan
world then tceming with idolatry. He
traced the extraordinary growth OF
the religion, showing how il had filled
the temples of Greece and Rome, the
senate, the army and the public
places with christians. He declared
that the cause for this was not ma
terial but spiritual. He closed with
these words: BE loyal to your coun-
try and your religion" He said that
no citizen of the United States should
be a dronc i'm the social hive, that ev-
cry citizen should retain the protcc-
ton by the government by an active
support of the principles of that gov
eminent, and by gladly assuming his
share of the burdens imposed upon
him.

at an ancient English university, Of
American, British and German youth.
The question arises. Should American
young men take advantage Of the Sc
ductive gratuity? I believe there are
a few cogent reasons why they should
not accept, says Francis u. Nutting in
the Chicago Record-Herald.
Primarily, the beQuest creates a
racial alliance, repugnant to all prin-
ciplcs of this republic. Why should
Teuton, Briton and American form, so
to speak, an educational dreibund
against the other nations whose sub
jects or citizens have helped build up
the United States?
1t would appear that Cecil John
Rhodes desired that this trinity of
powers should stand as stone wall
against Latin and Celt, Scandinavian
and Slav, Semitic and negro, and the
swart men of the shiny East who are
now or might become citizens of the
republic.
The testator's assumption apparently
is that America is an Anglo-Saxon
nation; but this is not based on fact
North America was not colonized sole
ly by England. Spain, France and
Portugal figured in that colonization.
Moreover, immigration statistics sup
port the declaration that fewer Eng
lishmen came to the United States
than subjects of other European ma
tions. Take the official record for 1901.
In that year the total immigration
from England, Wales and Scotland
was but 14,O91, while the emigrants
from other countries numbered ap-

each day are devoted to religious ex-
ercises. If after ten years spent in
this manner his superiors feel that he
is of character to do honor to the
priesthood, then he is permitted to en-
ter the sanctuary. Often when just
about to be ordained young men are
sent away. Sometimes an unworthy
man, ihypocrite, succeeds in entering
the priesthood, but the Church is
watchful and careful. If you people
in the world, surrounded by tempta-
tions and distractions, can live pure
lives, why not the young man who
leads life separate from the world,
who attends the bed of the dying, Of
fers the Holy Sacrifice every morning,
reads his Bible (for that is what his
Office practically is) for about one and
three quarters hours daily, prepares
sermons and instructions? No wonder
when we contrast this life with that
Of the man Of the world that we find
the latter falls so frequently. He has
but one thought, his pleasures He
only thinks of their qualification.
When he gets away from the influence
of home he will read anything. Then
he goes to low theaters, associates with
vile company, indulges in obscene con-
sversation. He denies his eyes nothing;
there is nothing he will not look at.
There is nothing SO vile he will not
listen to. Is It any wonder such man
would say that life of chastity is i'm
possible?

Her New Hint.


She said her hat was quite dream;
A poem, too, l think she called it.
To me it certainly did seem
AS if some crazy hand had mauled it,
Ea.p
Had pinched it here and jammed it there
And twisted it in shapes fantastic.
For reasons, though, I did not care
To speak of it in terms sarcastic,
And, after all, must admit,
1t would have been hard to refute her
The thing was daring-just bit
Coquettish-and it seemed to suit her.
That is, when perched upon her head.
Below the brim her bright eyes dancing,
1t was small wonder that 1 said
/ found it ravishing, enhancing.
I did. too but saw it since
Detached; the shape and color scheme 1t
Made all my sense aesthetic vince.
A dream? Well, L would hate to dream
it!
The fact is, believe no hat
Could ever dowdy seem or shady
like them all-provided that
They just top off that little lady.
