Archbishop Riordan paid a fitting
tribute to the priest through whose
untiring efforts the magnificent edi-
9ca has at last been made ready
for occupancy, and prefaced his SER
mon as follows: Beloved brethren,

a few words of congratulatlon on the

energy, every day of his life, to put up

worship Almighty God. At last, this
morning he has had the supreme graf
ification, and l offer hearty congratu-
lations to him and hope that for years
to come he will minister to his people in
the house he labored Sc hard to build.
AS his text the Archbishop chose the
words Man liveth not by bread alone,
but by every word which proceedeth
out of the mouth of God. He said in
part:
When pass through the streets OF great
city and look up at the buildings we can tell
rule for what purpose they were erected
and what use is being made of them We see
magnificent mansions, stately public buildings
and houses Of commerce, but Of all these the
! influence Of none extends beyond this life, The

place where men and women may come TO, bow

rae Son OF God knew the power OF the word
need of bread when In the wilderness but in
stead Of listening to the tempter's voice he
sought instead Of spiritual food.
SPIRITUAL FOOD.
The need of bread has at times turned men
into warning brutes, putting the better part
of the mans nature into obsourity and leaving
only his animal nature. Bread truly is neces-
sary for the lower. corporal perishable exist,
ence. but not for the higher nobler. spiritual
lie The words Of opS Lord in answer to the
tempter, Man liveth not by bread alone.
Mans nature is two-fold. the body and the
soul. One needs bread meat and drink, the
other spiritual food. That man cannot live
by bread alone is truth which sustains all
individual and social life The earth gives to
corporal man all he wants and his labor here
is struggle for bread Religion is not a ne
cessity for the existence of the body and is
looked upon by many as side issue. Gov
ernments established without religion are pros
porous. individuals are prosperous and benevo-
lent, but have no religion This argument
makes many ill-instructed Catholics ask. What

ORIGIN OF LAWS.
This argument is unfair. 1t appeals to the
unthinking, not the thinking. We must
admit that all which underlies the social fabric
comes from God. 1t is only in the latter days
that tbs law of morality without Supreme
i Being has been discussed, but 1t is a false one.

reflect back to the Supreme Being. Many per-

An interesting suit came before
Judge Bates Friday afternoon, the de-

boro who was charged with selling
diseased meat. Quite a delegation
from that town were present at the
trial.
The testimony went to show that JAR
Wis had a COW that gave birth to a
calf which is now living and healthy.
The COW showed signs of illness and
Jarvis killed it and sold the carcass to
Oscar Chase, meat dealer who dis
posed of most of it, supposing that it
was all right.
Upon being brought before the court,
Jarvis pleaded guilty, was sentenced
to pay $50 and costs, total of s92,
which he paid and went home.

BUNCOED THE
HOTEL KEEPER
South Salisbury Landlord Vic
timized By Stranger.

Hotel Keeper Lyons of the South
SALISBURY hotel, is wondering what
has become of a prepossessing fellow
who stopped at his house the first Of
the week.
He claimed he was the advance agent
for a we'll known travelling physician
and several attendants who were in
Wallingford, but who would be in
South Salisbury the last of the week
for a several days stop, Board and
rooms for all were contracted for at
the hotel.
The fellow stopped at the hotel long
enough to make all arrangements with
Landlord Lyons, then left the house to
meet first selectman Dean for the pur-
pose of securing Cole hall, which it
was necessary for the doctor to have.
He failed to interview the doctor,
and since leaving the house nothing
has been seen of him at the hotel.
Mr. Lyons says he would like to see
that fellow just once more.
