ECHOES FROM THE FIRE.
Catholic Literary Association Receives
 Sympathizing Letters.


 Who says it does not pay to adver- tise? In connection with the big fire, the Democrat gave q somewhat eX- tended account of the history of the Catholic Literary association, together with it's losses, and since that time the officers have received several com munications from local parties and many from out of town, all containing words of encouragement and also vol unteering to help the society to build 'mightier than ever" as the mayor of Paterson said in answer to Mayor Kilduff's letter of sympathy. We pub fish the following as q sample:
 New York, Feb 8, 1902. Catholic Literary Association:
 Gentlemen-I wish to express my sincere regret to your association for your great loss by the recent fire. If you intend to start up again l should like to help you, even in q small way. Being a Knight of Columbus I know how much good your association can do among our people, and with your permission I intend to ask the broth CTS of Harlem council, No 346. K. of O., of which I am a member, to con tribute book or two to help replace your library. Such book or books as I may receive I shall forward to you free of cost, also the name and ad- dress of the donors.
 In the pleasing hope that you may rise Phoenix like to a glorious future, I am, gentlemen, fraternally yours,
 MICHAEL B. FITZPATRICK,
 Treasurer of Harlem council,
 No 346, New York City. To-day Thomas J. Farrelly, secre- tary of the association, answered MT Fitzpatricks very kind communica- tion. It is thought that as soon as the association secures permanent quar- ters it will receive substantial aid from many about town and from oth- CTS who have learned of its losses through the papers.

sent the CALIFORNIAN the following state
ment:
81 hope people that have our telephones

the little disturbance that has existed IN
this exchange for few days. These
troubles will all reach their level in due
time and let me say right here that the
business of the exchange will go rgh
along Just the same. We have nearl,
: completed our new lines at Lyndonvill
