gregational, nor monastic such as pre-
vailed in medieval times. 1t was
rather collegiate and missionary; or
we might say it partook of the con-
gregational, parochial, monastic and
diocesan-a combination of what is
good in all. Had he had knowledge
of physiological analysis, such as we
now possess, one would be inclined to
say he took his system from the hui
man body. The simplest form of his

cell, or kill, as it is in the human or
ganism. This was the nucleus. To
the cell was drawn numbers of young
and old. Here in due time assimila-
ton took place. Then the Kill (church)
or cell became divided and subdivided,
as in the living organism, by sending
out those prepared at the colleges to
localities chosen as promising fields,
each body of missionaries so sent out
formed a new cell. A xii with its col
leges and other appurtenances was es-
tablished, each separate and distinct
in itself yet in connection with the
mother xii and with each other. These
individual kills sent out their shoots
in missionaries. Congenial habitants
were selected, nuclei were formed, kills
were established. AS needs required
chief pastor, or bishop, was Sc
lected, consecrated and sent to preach
the gospel, convert the heather, and
extend the church by leading the way
in which his clergy followed. ~.-.
The bishop was more like the col
onel of cavalry regiment advancing
to the charge against the enemy, who
precedes his soldiers, is first in the
fight and leads in every post Of dan
ger. Under the leadership of such q
bishop his clergy would follow to the
death. With such bishops and clergy

went down before them like corn be-
fore the sickle. Let one instance suf-
fee. The Irish like other ancient ma
tons and in common with all Druids
paid religious homage to pillar stones.

tage. He was, as he himself tells us,
the son Of Calpurnius, deacon in the
Christian church, and the grandson OF
Politus, priest or presbyter of the
same church, and his mother was Con-
chessa, a sister of St. Martin of Tours.
Thus he was not only the son OF
Christian parents, but came of fam
lily of ecclesiastics on father and moth
er's sides. Like many another youth
of Christian parents he Ibid not know
the Lord" in it's spiritual Specification.
But when a slave in the mountains OF
Ireland his early teaching came home
to his soul. Slave though he was he
had learned to love the people among
whom he lived. And subsequently,
when a free man, he obeyed the
promptings of his heart and the vision
of his dreams, and resigned his nobil-
ity to become a missionary, when he
went everywhere throughout the is
land preaching Christ with wonderful
power to the pagan Irish, and bring
ing multitudes into the Christian fold.
When at home at the Kill or church
his usual mode of procedure was to
be accompanied with group Of holy
men clothed in white with books in
their hands, chanting the morning
service in the open air as we'll as in
the church," He died in prayer on
March 18th at Downpatrick, where he
first preached. It was his happy lot
to see the fruits of his labors in null
titudes who professed the faith, in
the erection of numerous churches, in
thousands of ordained clergy, and. in
the establishment of colleges, which
subsequently became the most re-
nowned seats of learning in the world.

cred at the building. where they were
called to order by Secretary Walter B.
Stevens of the Exposition.
President Francis was the first speaker

ganization of the kind to formally extend
aid to he Exposition.
Charles w. Knapp Of The st. Louis Re-
public. and a director Of the Exposition,

WAITS At POST OFFICE
FOR THIEVES TO RETURN
Christ Hebener an Easy Victim OF
Confidence Men, Who Get $3.50
ON Lock Game.

BY means Of the old lock game two
confidence men fieeced Christ Hebener Of
Fargo. N. D.. out Of $3.50 yesterday. After
giving the men the money. Hebener, with
childlike confidence, waited on the Post
once steps for five hours for the men to
return.
Hebener wal taking an early-morning
walk when he met a stranger at Four
teenth and Chestnut streets. After talk
ing a while the stranger took a lock from
his pocket and bet Hebener SO that he
could not open It.
While Hebener was working with the
lock, another man came up and. displaying
a star, said that he was q detective and
was going to place Hebener under arrest
unless he furnished bond.
Accompanied by the men Hebener went
to the Washington Bank. at Fourteenth
street and Washington avenue. and had
two drafts cashed- a~ggregating $50, and
gave it to the men.
Telling him to wait on the Post Office
steps until they fixed the bond. they de-
parted. Waiting until 1 o'clock in the af-
rho without the men returning il
dawned on Hebener that he was the VIC
tim Of q confidence game. Then he noti-
fed the police.

| Chicago. touching briefly upon the sis
terhood of the two great cities.
HARRISON CHEERED.
When Mavor Harrison arose to respond
bedlam broke loose. and IL was two or
three minutes before he could proceed
with his address. His greeting sur
passed anything yet witnessed on the
Fair grounds.
Mayor Harrison, in his address,. said
Chicago was only paying a debt she owed
| ST. Louis. and that the assembled thou
sands had come down to see that 1t was
+, well done. When Chicago was fire
swept said he. est. Lou! was the first
| city to offer much-needed help. and was
foremost In aiding our city to recover
! from that great disaster. Again. when
| Chicago gave a worlds fair. ST. Louis
was foremost In p%atronizing and adver-
Using it. and it Is to repay this debt of
gratitude that we have assembled here
to-day.
1T would be e difficult task to make a
comparison of the two expeditions" he
continued. for Chicago will never admit
that the great White City could be
equaled. and it will be a long time before
anyone will admit that the st. Louis
iNOrN Clly can De eGudle0.
The Louisiana Purchase Territory is
the backbone of the country. and this
great Exposition shows that the industry
and other traits of the pioneers OF this
great territory is In the blood of the ST.
Louis people"
When Mayor Harrison resumed his seat
he was again greeted with applause. He
was followed by Alderman Bennett OF
Chicago, who made a brief address.
Mayor and Mrs. Harrison. Mayor n
Mrs. Wells and Alderman and Mrs. Ben
nett were the geusts OF President and
Mrs. Francis at a luncheon at the Tyro-
lean Alps after the exercises.
AT the close of the exercises the Wis
itors were left TO their own resources till
$50 o'clock in the afternoon. when the
First Cavalry Band. Illinois National
Guard. gave a concert at the Illinois
building. Mayor Harrison. accompanied
by Mayor Wells. President Francis and
Alderman Bennett. returned to the build
ing for this occasion. after which the

ception in the evening.

traceable to a common inspiration.

NIHILISM.
While there are some points of similarity
between them. the two movements differ
as 10 character and purposes.
Nihiiism was essentially a domestic
growth OF revenge for the suppression by
the authorities and transportation to ST.
IBERIA of the Utopian pupils Of Nikolai-
Gavriloch Tohernyshovski, and Michael
Bafunin. the early agitators, who
preached an idealistic Nihilistic doctrine.
The Radicals then entered upon an awful
vendetta, waged first against the agents
of absolute power and finally against the
sovereign himself, and a duel was pro-
claimed for the purpose of securing a ter
ritorial congress, the Nihilists declaring
that only when a call was issued for such
a congress would they disarm.
