Camp of Guards and Veterans.

Denver. Aug 3O.-A Loveland dis
patch says: The Grand Army veteransS
and Company G. First regiment. Ma
tional Guard of Colorado, broke camp
yesterday. twelve miles west of Love
land on the new Estes Park road.
Their camp ground afforded excellent
facilities for drill and the guardsmen
made the best of their opportunity.
The Grand Army took the part of the
enemy" and war was declared. Sew
eral skirmishes took place and the
picket guards were kept on the look
out constantly. Friday afternoon
battle took place between the two
forces. The veterans were well en-
trenched, but the National Guards
made a charge and routed them.
The Women's Relief Corps looked
after the commissary and all parties
enjoyed the outing. A huge campfire
was lighted every evening. around
which stories of bravery and exploits
of danger and daring were rehearsed
until taps sounded and the lights went
out

Wind Prevents Yacht Race.

New York. Aug. 30.-There was no
yacht race yesterday, wind sea and fog
combining to make the day one in
which no lghtly-built craft, such as
these yachts, would ever dare to quit
such sheltered berth as the curve OF
the Horseshoe affords
1t was decided early to call off the
race. and later it was agreed that be-
ginning Monday, the yachts will race
daily until one of the other has won
three races

School Land. at eowerman.

II the strike at Bowerman camp. h
as rich as 1t has been reported, and II
it is proved. as has been asserted, that
the camp is in the midst of gold-bear-
ing land. it is probable that the state
OF Colorado will be immensely benefit
ed by It, says the Denver Republican
of August 22d.
Yesterday Register Woodruff of the
state land board received applications
for three leases in section 16. township
so, range east, which is in the Bow
erman district in Gunnison county. One
OF the applicants has asked that he be
given ten lots, making in all 100 acres
OF the land. The applications will
come up for consideration at the next
meeting of the board. Others OF the
proposed lessees ask for similar
amounts.
When state land is found to contain
mineral the township is divided up
into siXty-four lots of ten acres each,
and after half of the lots have been
taken it is the duty of the state to sur
vey the township. Up to that time
those who have leases on the lands
have to take their chances as to what
land they will get After the land has
been surveyed the lots are awarded to
the different holders In the township.
The leases under the new law are to
run for eight years. They-formerly have
been running for twenty years, but 1t
was found that after the coal on GER
tain sections of land belonging to the
state had been removed that the land
was still good for agricultural purposes
and the lessees have been in the habit
OF holding the state up on the ground
that their leases are still In force. For
this reason the time of the leases has
been decreased.
Under the new law the state is to
receive fiat rental OF $40 per lot and
this is to be paid semi-annually. In
case that mineral is found on the land
the state is to receive 10 per cent. OF
the gross production of the mine. II
1t should happen that the Bowerman
district proves to be a rich one the
state will receive a large revenue from
its lands.
Some of the lands belonging to the
state are now leased on this basis, but
up to the present no considerable sum
has been realized from them. The
state owns some land in the Cripple
Creek district. 1t is located on Bull
hill, east of Cameron. This, however,
is Just outside of the gold-bearing zone
of the district and the state has re-
ceived no. revenue other than the flat
rental of $40 per lot Of ten acres.
All of the revenue from the state
lanus goes into the school fund Of the
state.

though Mr.. Wilson himself insists that
no definite action has been taken and
that a building may be built after all,
the other members of the board say
it is out of the question.
The reason is that there Is no
money. The members OF the Worlds
Fair board are confident now that
there is no chance for them to get the
100000 appropriation passed at the
last session of the Legislature. and
they have just 100000 to pay for the
entire cost of the Colorado exhibit
And to make matters worse some $19,-
600 of this is in the hands of Mr.. E.
Van Rouse and there will probably be
months of litigation before it is OBJ
tanned, II it is obtained at all
This leaves the board with some
thing like $4,000 on hand to carry on
the work they have outlined. for near
ly $4,000 has already been spent in get
ting ready, and the members realize
that they must make this go a long
way il they want any exhibit at all.

CHURCH MUSIC.

An old and valued friend in speaking of church
music the other day remarked that he remembered
the time when at high mass the priest remained
at the altar during the whole of the ceremony. "e
did not take seat in the sanctuary said this
sturdy old Catholic ''and give the choir a chance
TO dsspate what devotion there was in the congre-
CATION
As our memory did not run so far back we
took old friends word for it-but we heaved a
sigh for the days of olden time
Some years ago IN old st. Matthews church on
a Sunday, Father Chapelle (now Archbishop of
New Orleans and Apostolic Delegate to Cuba and
Porto Rico), read to the congregation the yearly
statement of receipts and expenditures of the par
ish Among the items of expense was So 300 For
the choir, and Father Chapelle remarked that the
amount was excessive and out of all proportion to
the Importance Of that institution. He reminded
the people that the altar, the sacrifice and the
priest were the essential elements in the divine
service-then came the congregation and lastly the
choir-which he said might be dispensed with en-
tirely.
The ordinary Catholic does not go to mass to
hear concert or a grand opera-he goes there
from proper motives. And very frequently the per
formances in the choir loft are an offense to his
sense of propriety. 1t has often been commented
upon, too, that the poorer the choir the higher is
the class of music 1t attempts. 1t in painful at
times to listen to the bleating of the tenors, the
believing of the bassos and the other noises that
greet a congregation which goes to high mass in
the performance of sacred duty

brothers OF MTsERIcoRD1A

Inc Brothers Of The Misericordia are one Of
the sights OF Florence. They are all men usually
of good family, who devote their lives to the work
OF burying the dead and caring for the injured in
any accident, taking the sick to the hospitals.
IheE wear long black habits with a hood over the
face having holes to see through. and they look
like ghosts They carry the sick in sort of blanket
and the dead in a coffin covered with black PAIL
on their shoulders. One walks in front of Them
with his face uncovered When they pass, the peo-
pie cross themselves and say a short prayer for
the sick dead. 1t is said that the grand duke
was a member of this brotherhood. and that when
The cholera ragged there he worked with the rest.
Some of the poorer people also join the Miseri-
cordla, and the guide says that YOU can tell gen
1Icman from peasant by the feet, They do noble,

Mary Anderson's loyalty TO the Church of her
faith has always been one of her most prominent

Whlc her husband supplied the accompaniment on

CBy Mary Dolorosa.)
The evening clouds drifting to the West
White sails drift softly Ger the radiant sea:
So. lulled TO peace with thoughts of coming rest
Dear Lord, my soul is drifting nearer thee
The storm is over and the night is past:
All fear hath fled beneath thy guiding hand:
MY spirit breathes, refreshed, the fragrant winds
Blown from the green shores of the fatherland
The night of life was long: the tempest wild
Bore down in fury Ger my fragile bark:
My FAINT heart grieved-O Savior meek and mild!
And wept that I had lost thee in the dark
NBut thou vert nearer-nearer than thought
AND the dark waves were lit with sudden flame
OF light which trembled from thy sacred heart
When l. in anguish, called upon thy name
Southern Messenger.
