Bishop Phelan of Pittsburg.

The dedication on Sunday next aug.
y OF the Church of the Epiphany, Pitts
burg, which will be used as a tempo
rary cathedral pending the building of
the magnificent temple which is in
course of erection at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Craig street, will synchron-
lie with the occurrence of the
eighteenth anniversary of the episcopal
conservation of the venerable and be-
loved bishop of .Pittsburg, the Right
Rev Richard Phelan. Although his
health has been in a precarious condi-
ton of late, necessitating his continued
stay at st. PauPs Orphanage, lakewood
1t has improved during the past few
days; and it will, his affectionate flock
sincerely hope, be sufficiently improved
by Sunday next to permit of his pres
ence at the joyous ceremonies which
will mark the celebration of the aus
picious event. And they earnestly hope
and pray that his valuable life may
be spared to witness the celebra ton of
many more anniversaries of the same

LAW UNDER SUSPICION.

Before anything further is done in
the way of spending the money appro-
priated for the Strawberry reservoir
project by the state land board, legal
decision will proba bly, be secured 1t
is maintained by some lawyers that
the law is unconstitutional. Either the
state engineer or the state auditor will
probably seek an opinion from the at
torney general on. the subject before
any expense is incurred under the 81, 500
appropriation.
Among the reasons cited for the pos
sible unconstitutionality of the act is
the allegation that it is special legis-
lation. The appropriation is admitted
ly in the interest of an association of
water users in the southern part of
Utah county, of which the Trainer of
the bill. Senator Henry Gardner, is a
leader 1t is admitted that no state
land is to be benefited by the irrigation
scheme this association is promoting
The law makes it mandatory on the
land board to expend. the money This
money is to be used to make surveys
which the promoters of the irrigation
project plan to use, thereby saving
them just that much expense.
The state constitution forbids the
legislature to pass any special laws
granting to an individual, association
or corporation any privilege, immunity
or franchise" According to one law
yer, it is doubtful whether the present
law is a violation of the letter of this
clause, but he declares it violation of
the spirit

societies at the closing session today,
after which officers were elected. The
next meeting will be held in st. Louis.
| The first resolution condemned feud
riots and mob law as unworthy Of
| civilized people. Lynchng is regarded
as murder and the burning and tor
ture of people even when clearly
guilty, is barbarous and menace to
the peace and security of all good citi-
zens. All Catholics were enjoined to
exert an influence and spread in the
community sound opinions agaist such
savagery.
The federation also protested against
the action of the French government
in attempting to legalize religious per-
solutions, and asking Catholics to en-
deavor to wrest the government from
those who have misused the powers en-
trusted to them. The Catholic Truth
societies were commended and MEM
bers of the federation were urged to
join such societies.
The convention pledged cooperation
and support of Catholic Indian schools:
also to exclude from public libraries
books that are offensive or erroneous in
the treatment of Catholic doctrines and
practice and to supply standard works
on the subject.
Among the officers elected are: Presi
dent, Thomas B. Minahan, Columbus,

Point Out the Change.

Rev. DR.. Iglehart of st. Paurs Meth.
odist Episcopal church, Peekskin. in
paying tribute of eulogy to Pope Leo
took occasion to say:
Things have changed The times
have changed. have changed and the
Catholic church has changed 1t has
not that foreign. I'M American odor and
custom which it seemed to have"
While approaching the doctors euio-
gy we hope it will not be considered
ungracious to observe that it would
have been interesting, as we'll as news
to Catholics at least, if he had men
toned any particulars in respect to
which the church has changed. AS to
the foreign. un-American odor," he
doubtless forgot for the moment that
the Catholic church was in America
before the appearance of Methodism or
any other Protestant sect.-Freeman s

gentlemen were c. A. Locke, T. Fagen
w. Halleck. A good male chorus for
the Sunday night services would be
much appreciated and the organist will
! make an effort to organize one shortly.
1t is deplorable that so few of the
! Junior choir come on Sunday nights,
but when the weather moderates the
sweet young singers will do their DUTY
with the faihfulness characteristic of
! all the members of the choir.
Mrs. E. Hanson and Mrs. j. Hicks
are the ladies appointed to attend to
the affairs this week.
There will be rehearsal on Saturday
at 3:15 for the members of the Junior
choir.
Parents are requested to send their
children.
Though the weather is warm, the
practice is held in a delightfully."- cool
hall, and as the little folks wl4I prob
ably be out in the sun anyhow, they
will be improving their minds, their
bodies and voices by attending rehear-
sal.
The ladies of the Altar society held
their usual monthly meeting last Mon
day.
The announcement made in the Inter
mountain Catholic few days ago that
the meetings were discontinued for the
summer, was wrong.
The officers of the association are
highly pleased over the condition of
the society at present. They will ex-
tend glad welcome to all new men,
bers.
Friday was communion Day for the !
members of the Scored Heart League. !

In all life we find this principle-that
we must give up the lesser to get the
greater. There was an English oc-
culist who was very fond of cricket.
But ne found that the playing was af-
fecting the delicacy of. his touch. so
that he could not do his work well. So,
in order that he might be a better
oculist and bring relief more surely and
more skillfully to the sufferers who
came to hime. he gave w the sport he
enjoyed so well. Every one who is living
under a high spiritual motive is doing
this continually, denying himself in
personal ways in order 10 serve others
better

The funeral of little Lucille Lam
pIugh took place from st. Mary's ca
thedral last Sunday afternoon
A large number of mourners attended
TO pay last tribute to the dear little
child they all loved

iVered most touching sermon, one
that comforted the sorrowing young
parents and relatives.
The funeral services were impress
i've, the music rendered by the Junior
choir of the cathedral, of which the
child was member, was very beauti-
full. Clara Fafek. the lovely child So
prano Of the choir, brought tears to all
eyes by her effective rendering of An
giles Ever Bright and Fair
Nellie Geary, another sweet little
singer, rendered ''How Pure, How Frail
and White" with much expression The
hymn was favorite of the dead chiId's,
who repeated it even in her last ILL
ness.

I pretty and touching feature of the
services was a procession of ten little
choir girls, who marched down the
church carrying large bouquets of
white flowers.
After placing them on the casket, the
children, with reverently folded hands,
returned to the gallery to sing the
final hymn.
The children were Cassandra Wood,
Nora Crawford. Florence Halloran,
Bessie Colvin. Marguerite Smith, Car
RE Chance, Margaret Connelley, Es-
ther Cronin and Nellie Geary.
The interment was in. Mount Calvary,
where the dear, wee girl was tenderly
laid away in bed of summers fairest

Fairer than any flower was little Lu
ellie, whose spirit has returned in all
the innocence of babyhood to paradise,
to the broad sunshine of the other
