From Maine to the Rio Grande you have
responded nobly to the demands made upon
you not only to the extent of this $4,000,
but in the raising OF other funds We are
httingly represented some years ago by the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and today SO
ably by the Knights of Columbus.
You have not only given US $50 co.,. but
you have signalized your interest by your
presence here today in such vast numbers.
And we are cheered by that interest, as is
Pope Plus, who is walking in the footsteps
of his illustrious predecessor, Leo XIII.
Gentlemen OF the knights of Columbus
you do not bear royal titles nor have you
royal purses, but you have shown by your
gift that You have royal Catholic hearts
lApplause). When the pope, bishop and
laity are united there Is no such word as
fafl, and SO this university must succeed,
and in Gods will 1t shall succeed May
you always deserve in the future, as you
nave merited in the past, the confidence of
the church,"
Hardly had the. cardinal concluded his
address when Sir Knight Hearn sprang to
his feet and shouted, Three cheers for his
eminepce Cardinal Gibbons and the crowd
went wild with enthusiasm as the three
mighty cheers were given. The cardinal
rose to his feet and bowed right and left in
acknowledging the honor done him. He
appeared to be much affected by the demon
Stration.
Bishop Garrigan's Address.
The crowd was SO busy cheering the ear
dinal that 1t was moment before 1t no
ticed Bishop Garrigan preparing to speak.
and then there was another burst of ap-
pleuse, for DIR. Garrigan is recognized by
the knights of Columbus as one Of the
foremost of. the scholars of the church in
this country and is credited with being the
author of the movement for the endowment
of the chair of history. The bishop said:
'fThis is one of those notable events which
show the unity and strength of the Cath
Ollie Church. I congra tulate the university
on this testimonial of its high merits, and
1 congratulate the Knights of Columbus on
its generous gift today. I.doubt ii any act
will ever surpass this act in national value
This act shall live We hope that this shall
contradict the old saying that history is
directed against truth.
eFor the fourth time in the history or
this university 1t has received notable
expression of the favor In which 1t Is held.
I sincerely hope the procession will keep
passing on.
IT understand that In addition to the gift
of SO, 900 which you have made today, there
are other thousands coming for the estab-
lishment of library and other educational
factors. This Is a proof of the fact that the
university Is university of the people, as
the Catholic Church is the church of the
people.

The Late Spring.



But il is the end of the season and not
its beginning that tells the story. There
are some things to be thankful for. TAX
ing the country as a whole We have been
freer from disastrous foods than a. year
ago. This is due to the slow and gradual
melting OF the ice and snow. Last year
a warm March released great freshets
through the valleys and great disaster re-
suited. The grounds Of hope are not Yet
seriously shaken. \ year ago the con-
ditions at this time were much more for
ward. Vegetation was much further adj
vanced, and then. at about this time. there
came a check. in the beginning Of six
weeks drought, followed by cold and wet
weather. Seeds rotted in the ground and
-rluch replanting was necessary. The hay
crop was looked upon as likely 10 be a
failure when finally Nature recovered
from her sulks and gave US an except
ionally good one, though il was several
weeks late in maturing.
Should the season in few more days
settle down to the business Of spring with
as much steadiness as it recently attend
ed 10 that Of winter, there is yet time for
q year Of much fruitfulness. STEADY
growth is more to be desired than an early
spring and subsequent oacksets. Ih5
blight Of famine never struck US yet, and
We are not looking for it this year.

OIL In Alaska.

The recent account OF the large ship
ment of men, machinery and supplies to
the Alaska oil fields aroused considerable
interest in this new prospective industry.
Like all other similar ventures, however,
the oil industry in Alaska is at present
largely speculative. The same is also
very true in regard to most Of the medi-
cines offered to cure stomach, liver and
kidney ills They spring up from time TO
time, make wonderful claims, but be-
cause of lack OF merit are soon forgotten.
Not So however, with the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t has been be-
fore the public continuously for so years,
and II it was not a safe and reliable med
icine could not have stood the severe test
OF half century. For spring fever, gen.
eral debility, indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, biliousness, la grippe or malaria
il is unequalled. Give II a trial.
