Rev. Dear Father:
Our Holy Mother, the church under
the guidance of the Holy Ghost and
the experience of ages has found ecu
menical and provincial councils and
diocesan synods of great benefit to
both priests and people. Up to this
day diocesan regulations were laid
down in our diocese in quasi-synods,
but we have been considering for some
time past the ACCESSIBILITY Of making a
body OF diocesan laws drawn from au-
perience of this diocese and that OF
other dioceses. My council heartily
approved of this plan and 1, therefore.
appoint Wednesday June %, as the
day on which the synod will be held.
Mass will be said at O'Clock at st.
Ambrose college, Davenport and as it
is very important that every priest be
here on that day, | trust that no one
will take it upon himself to stay away
from the synod without written per
mission from me. Every priest should
bring his cassock and surplice.
The session will commence immedi
ately after mass and short session
will be held also after dinner if found
necessary.
The following officers of the synod
were elected at the council meeting

RESULT OF MISTAKE
ODD MANNER IN WHICH SENATOR
J. A. TREWIN SECURED
BIG CASE.

Des Moines, June Ex-senator ]. A..
Trewin's appearance in the supreme
court this week in behalf of the In
man Manufacturing company of Am
sterdam, N. Y, in the appeal of the
American Cereal company of Cedar
Rapids from a Judgment for $4,000
granted against it in the lower court,
recalls an amusing incident which re-
suited in the Iowa senator securing
the big job.
Some months ago Senator Trewin
was stopping at the Grand hotel in
Cedar Rapids. He possesses a more
than ordinary head and with difficulty
secures hat to fit. AS he finished
his meal and strolled from the dining
room he picked up the largest hat on
the rack and was about to leave the
Office when he discovered that though
the hat fit it was not his. He COM
planned to the clerk, who responded
that there was only one other man in
the house with head as large and
he was from Amsterdam, N. Y. Just
then the gentleman in question ap-
peared. He was summoned by the
clerk and gently asked to examine his
hat. When he discovered his mis-
take he apologized and was then In
troduced to Senator Trewin as one of
the leading lawyers of the city. "a
man with head the same size OF
mine," responded the stranger, must
have, take it, unusual capabilities
I am very pleased to meet you, Mr.
Trewin l was just about to seek a
lawyer to consult concerning little
matter"
He then repaired with the lawyer
to his office and laid before him a
claim against the American Cereal
company for something like $4,000
for printing presses. The senator was
retained and the action was one of the
hardest fought and longest ever tried
in Linn county. Senator Trewin sue
ceeded in getting for his client judy
ment for $4,000 and from this the
American Cereal company appealed.
