SEMINARY OPENED.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban Celebrated
Pontifical High Mass at Mt. st.
Mary's Yesterday.

The new Mt. st. Mary's seminary
was formally opened yesterday morn
ing. the occasion being the feast of the
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, who is
the patron of the institution.
A pontif1cal high mass was solemn
lied by Rt. Rev. Bishop M. j. Hoban
In the new chapel. He was assisted by
Rev. p. j. McManus, as deacon, and
Rev. j. j. Griffin, as sub deacon. Other
local clergymen in the sanctuary were:
Rev. N. j. McManus, Rev. j. V. Moy-
Ian, Rev. T.. j. Melley, Rev. NJ. b. Dom
Ian, Rev. M. E.! LOTUS and Rev. j. A.
O'Reillv.
The ceremony was rendered espe-
cially impressive by the presence of 1875
of the Sisters Of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary and of some seventy-five now
ices. Immediately following the mass,
Bishop Hoban, accompanied by the
clergymen and the nuns, blessed the
entire building.
About sixty boarders presented them
selves for admission yesterday, and
classes were formed so that instruction
may begin at once. A number of the
boarding pupils come from st. Cecilia s
academy on Wyoming avenue, which is
to be used in the future as day school.

FREE SWIMMING POOL.
This Week Will Decide Whether or
Not the City Is to Have It.
. Plans Are Prepared.

Director of Public Works John E.
Roche stated yesterday that this week
will determine whether or not this city
will have a free swimming pool. AT
present there does not appear to be the
least doubt that the gentleman who
generously offered to donate the pool is
going to stand by his word, and esti-
mates are being prepared of the exact
cost. These will be submitted next
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The original estimate made by Archi-
tect Edgerton that $4,000 would cover
the entire cost has proved to fall rather
short of the real figures. Superintend-
ent of Building Inspection r. l.. Brown
has been asked to furnish an estimate
on the cost of the superstructure, and
Superintendent of the Bureau of En-
gineering Phillips is at work on gen.
eral plans and specifications. Contrac-
tor Conrad Schroeder will submit an
estimate of the cost of contractors
work.
Director Roche is not entirely satis-
fled with the results of his trip to vari-
Gus large cities, for the purpose of eX-
amining public baths, and it is likely
that he will make supplementary trip
to New York, Monday, to see certain Of
the baths of the big city. which have
been heralded as model in every par
ticular. Director Roche believes in
giving the city. "a pool and baths which
will be model in every particular The
pool Is to be 1870 feet long by so wide,
and In addition there will be eight
shower baths of the most modern
equipment, and a number of other
bathing facilities.

Big RUSH OF PUPILS.
They Sought Admission to the Pub.
lie Schools of the City Yester-
day-Buildings overcrowded.

The public schools opened yesterday,
after the summer vacation, with the
largest enrolment of pupils ever re-
| corded. From all over the city came
reports of overcrowded rooms, and in
the suburbs it was no uncommon thing
for a room arranged to accommodate
forty-eight to have as high as sixty
five or seventy pupils.
The big enrolment is due to the
strike. Hundreds of idle breaker boys,
drivers, door tenders and the like, pre-
suming that the strike will continue
for some time yet, entered school, with
a view of making the most of the OPP
portunity for an education afforded
them by the strike.
1t Is probable that number of an
nexes will be opened and extra teachers
employed to take care of the over
flow.
Three new buildings and five new
kindergartens We're opeped yesterday.
The new buildings are in the First,
Sixth and Twenty-first wards. The
new kindergartens are located in build
ings Nos. 10, IA, 16 and 80, and the
Jewish synagogue, on Linden street.
The High schol opened with an at
tendance of nearly 1000, the freshman
class alone having 500 members. The
training school also showed an in
creased attendance. Among those to
enroll We're six graduates Of st. Ce-
elias academy.
The parochial and private schools
opened yesterday. AT all the Catholic
churches Sunday, announcement was
made that parents should not keep
their children home from school be-
cause of inability to pay the tuition.
Controller Murphy, of the Sixth
ward, announced at last nights meet
ing of the board of control that num-
ber of breaker boys had been refused
admission a No. II school. He wanted
the board to pass motion granting
breaker boys permission to attend
school. Nearly every member present
chorused that this was not Unnecessary,
because such boys have the same rights
as other pupils A motion was finally
passed directing all teachers to admit
all pupils between the ages of and q
years presenting themselves for in
structiOn.

SETTLING OF THE SURFACE.
Water Main and House Pipes Were
Made to Feel It's Effect.

The ground in the region Of the cor
ner of Wyoming avenue and Spruce
street has been settling for the past
few days. and, yesterday, had sunk to
such an extent that one Of the water
mains was broken. The break was re-
paired last night.
Beginning with Saturday, the water
pipes in the Traders bank building be-
gan to pull downwards, and the move
ment continued gradually until yester-
day. In the building, occupied on the
ground floor by Arbor Cafe, the tension
broke one of the pipes on the top floor
and flooded the building. The settling
had apparently subsidized, last night.
Settling of the ground at this point
Is not uncommon occurrence. 1t Is
not the result of a mine cave-in but of
the swampy nature Of the ground.
Several times the pavement and curb
ing have had to be repaired on account
of the settling. There is absolutely no
danger to the buildings thereabouts as
they have their foundations on bed
rock

Those acquainted with Indian Gus
toms know of the prominence that
feathers hold in the religious and So
cial ceremonies of the red men. Par.
ticularly among the Navajoes and Pu-
eblos are these plume emb!ems be-
lieved to have the utmost efficacy for
good or bad.
All about any Pueblo town may be
seen carefully whitfield sticks, each
with tuft of downy feathers, gener-
ally white ones, bound at the top of it.
They are prayer sticks and are quite
as curious as the prayer wheels of
Burma and the paper prayers of the
Chinese. The feathers, stick and man
ner Of tying the feathers vary accord
ing to the nature Of the prayer. The
Indian who wishes to ask favor Of
the "Trues' prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then, TAX
ing 1t to a proper spot, he prays to
those above, and. planting his stick.
leaves it to continue his petition.

Too Early.

One raw February morning an IN
structor in the University of Michigan
was calling the roll of an 8 O'Clock
class in English.
"Mr Robbins" said he.
There was no answer.
"Mr. Robbins" in slightly louder
voice.
Still no reply.
"Ah," said the instructor, with a
quiet smile, 'come to think Of It, 1t is
rather early for robins"
This is Current Literature's anecdote
of the late Moses Colt Tyler, who later
became professor Of history at Cor
nell, and It shows him in the pleasing
light of man who could be boyishly
gay at gray and cherries hour-no
small feat, If one stops to consider an
instructors provocations to morning
dizziness.

The Clerical Garb.

When Martin Luther laid aside the
monks clothes which had up to that
time been his garb, the elector Of Sax
eny sent him piece OF black cloth.
Black was at the time court fashion,
and Luther had suit made of 1t &C.
cording to the prevailing cut of the
time. His pupils followed his example,
and henceforth black became the dis.
tinguishing hue Of clerical garb. 1t
was not. however, for many years aft.
erward that the cut Of clergyman's
coat became in any way different from
that of the laity.

FILIPINO NAMES.
Many Have Their Origin Explained
by Fanciful Legends.

Many Filipino names have had their
origin explained by fanciful legends
and traditions. Every name has a
meaning.
Jaro is called by uneducated Visa
vans Salog, which means cup. The leg
end which purports to give the derlva'
ton of this name dates back to the
time when the monkeys and parrots
ruled the islands. Once there was a
great drought, and there was no place
where water was to be found IN all
the mountains. So scouts were sent
out to look for water, and they trav-
eled many miles until they came to a
spot where the river flowed all the
year and where food was always plen-
ty. They took cup Of water to prove
their find and went back to their COM
panions. who journeyed to the water
and called the place Salog, or cup.
When the babes adopted by the mon
keys after the slaughter at Iloilo grew
up and possessed the land. they re-
tanned the name.
Lyncod in Visayan means 'sit down"
The town Of Lyncod, thirty miles from
Iloilo, is said to have received its name
because the first settlers were climbing
the mountain when they became tired
and said, LET us sit down" They sat
down where the town now stands and
found the place SO agreeable that they
remained and built the town.
