new ST. PATRICKS CHURCH.
The tdlflce viii Be Erected on the Site Of
The Present Building.

Father Pyne announced at all the
masses last Sunday some points OF con-
siderable interest that have been decided
upon regarding a new church for st.
Patricks parish, in order, as he said, to
arouse greater energy and create a moro
concentrated action in the proposed work.
The thought of any other location than
the grand elevation on which the present
church stands was abandoned. he stated,
after long consideration and consulta-
tlon with his ecclesiastical superiors as
we'll as with others interested in this
parish's work.
A change OF locality was not considered
to be a good business move. II would
mean that the cost involved in purchase
OF sufficient land elsewhere would block
the actual work OF building for some
years. 1t would necessltate the separa-
tlon OF the church from the school and
convent, and the erection OF new rec
tory at considerable expense in the near
future.
1t would mean above all. Father Pyne
said, to abandon the present locality, the
most beautiful church site in the city,
fronting. as IL does. the state house and
an unobstructed view OF the city.
sacred traditions I'm this relation held by
ST. Patrick's hill. The spot, he said. was
hallowed by the prayers OF a generation
who have passed TO their reward. Here
they worshipped and were consoled In
their afilietions, here they were cleansed
from their sins by the saving graces OF
/ the sacraments, and from here, after
! their requiems were sung, their remains
| were taken TO their last resting place.
! IL has been, moreover. II was said, the
home of our Blessed Lord in the Blessed
/ Sacrament for more than so years, and Il
/ would seem when looking back on q
/ years anxious thoughts that He remind
ed us by the Intellectual negotiation for
another site; that lie had selected this
az His dwelling place for all time.
! The church, which Is to be OF the Gothic
style OF architecture. having a tower and
\ trancepts and full grained ribbed ceiling
will front on Smith street at the corner
OF Davis. where Ii was said tho corpora.
ton owned sufficient land for all pur.
poses
Plans in accordance with these lines are
nowin preparation by Messrs. Murphy
| and Hendel. the architects engaged foi
\ designing the ediace and looking after
/ it's construction.
The convent will be moved from its
present site on Davis street TO State

| intention. Father Pyne said, 20 have tho
| excavation OF the basement and all neces.
! sary retaining walls completed this fall
so that the actual work OF building the
church may be commenced early next
spring
Those OF the parish who we're seen after
the mass expressed themselves as well
pleased by the announcement that work
on the new church was 90 be commenced
soon. They seemed TO rejoice especially
that the old site, which they said was
peerless as church site had been Sc
lected for the new St Patrlcks church.

REGISTRATION FIGURES.
The Record Is Fast Catching Up With

The expectation and general belief that
the registration i'm this city this year for

last year, seen to be unfounded, judging
from the figures now recorded at the OF

OF 1902. and II was thought by many that
things had fallen back into lheir old
ruts In this respect.

so far In April the daily average was
considerably above that o fast year, un-

down TO less than 200, and at the rate reg

long before the figures Of last year are
reached.
