The condition of the little Callahan girl, who was burned so seriously on Saturday, is better today
 The attendance at the mission ser vice last night at St Patrick's church was the largest of the week so far. It was impossible to secure even standing room long before it was time to begin the service. The missionary fathers declare that the attendance so far has been simply extraordinary and is a manifestation of great faith by the parishioners. After the rosary had been recited and a short instruction given by the Rev Michael Mann, the sermon was preached by the Rev Mat thew Fox, an eloquent speaker. He spoke on the subject, "The Death of the Sinner" taking his text from He brews X, 31, 'It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God" Father Matthew brought out in the course of his sermon how one's death generally corresponds with his life. Those who live the life of the just may reasonably expect the death of the just. Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of his saints" And therefore he who Is content to lead a life of sin must be prepared to take it's natural consequence. the death of the sinner. After speaking of the uncer- ta1nty of life in general, the reasons adduced by the preacher for the death of the sinner were principally three fold, namely: First, the difficulty to overcome bad habits; second, the recol- lection of past sins; third, the power of the devil at the hour of death. The sermon tonight will be preached by the Rev Dominic Scanlon on the sub- ject, "Particu1ar Judgment" The dis courses at the 8 o'clock mass each morning are given by the Rev Father Hyacinth, O. F. M, who spoke this morning on Religious Vacations" He showed the sublimity of the calling to the religious life and declared it to be one of the greatest graces granted to a Christian after baptism. The diff culties and sacrifices required of those who aspire to the religious calling were fully explained. At o'clock this af- ternoon the blessing of the infants of the parish took place. There was a large number of infants and their mothers present and each infant was individually blessed by the missionary father The discourse was. on The Christian Mother or the Dignity Of Motherhood

KNIGHTS or COLUMBUS BALL.
The Event Will Take Place on Easter
 Monday Night.


 For many years past the annual ball Of the Knights of Columbus in this city has been looked upon as one of the most important social events of the season. It has always been antici- Pated with much pleasure by those who are fond of enjoying the light fantastic step. It has always been con- ducted on high scale and the man. agement has never spared pains nor expense in making it one of the most elaborate affairs of the social season. This year the committee in charge in- tend to eclipse all former efforts in this respect. They intend to so arrange matters that when the people of this city attend the City hall on Easter Monday night, April 13, they will see the hall decorated more gorgeously and splendidly than it has ever been in the past. Pink and white will be the col ors used and it is expected that they will so blend as to produce very pret- ty affair. It is unnecessary to say that excellent concert and dance music will be rendered.
 On the floor of the hall at either side there will be boxes, fourteen in all, which will be nicely arranged and
 
 be reserved for the clergy of the city and for visiting members of the Knights of Columbus from out of town. The boxes are in charge of Edward F.. Callahan, who may be seen at the par lors of Company c, o. N. G., on Friday night, from 7:30 to o'clock, by any persons desiring to engage any of the boxes. General admission tickets to the hall will be S1 for gentleman and lady. They will be for sale in few days.
 The committee in charge consists of the following: Sheridan council, John W. Mcdonald, E. J. Finn. T.. F. Dono- van, James A. Hynes, Cornelius Ma loney: Barcelona, John 0. Thompson, Thomas O'Donne1l, William Ryan, Jer- emiah Scully, Thomas Flaherty; Hen dricken, Char1es-E Mcdonald. Edward F. Callahan, Edward F. Moran, Frank T. Reed, William H.

A FIVE MILI1oN PLAN.
Electric Propulsion Proposed on New
 York Waterways


 York Waterways
 ALBANY, N. Y., March 11.-An en- tirely new canal proposition has made its appearance here. John Murray Mitchell of New York city proposes to the canal committee the improvement of the present waterway at an expense of only $5,O00,0OO. MT. Mitchell repre- sents citizens who aim to accomplish by such an expenditure as much inn provement in shorter period as would be obtained by the expenditure of $1O0, 100000.
 The plan is a simple one, and cleo tricity is to be its basis. In short, they propose to erect along the canal third rail electric track, on which will be run donkey motors" These motors will tow canal boats at 8 higher rate of speed and at a minimum cost to boat owners and shippers. The cost of equip ping the Erie and Champlain canals will be $5,O0O,O00, and the present ca- nal with its present depth will be util- ized. All that the promoters of 4'.n en- terprise ask is per cent of u 'oss receipts charged for towing. Ii asti- AAdCC0 Iu0L IuC TCyCAuC dcIAtGt} .p LuC state will be sufficient to pay f Ill re- pairs. These repairs amount -~ about $5OO,OO0 year. The apparatus is to be the property of the state.
 Secretary Parsons says regarding Senator Browns unification bills:
 These bills if enacted would remove the public high schools entirely from the supervision of the regents of the university and bring such schools un- der the same exclusive Jurisdiction of the state superintendent as he has here tofore had over the elementary schools. This is a final effort to do at once and directly what the superintendent de- partment has long been trying to do in- directly and by degrees.
 Ut offers to the legislature and to the public opportunity to choose between educational unification under the non- partisan board of regents as embodied in Senator Stevens bill or to have the entire public school system by these new bills placed under the control of the superintendent of public instruc- tion, with the consequent exposure to political interference incidental to the conditions under which his office ex- ists.
 Those who believe in taking and keeping the schools entirely out of pol itics will support the bill of Senator Stevens"
