| life and vigor The mission preached
| by the Redemptorist Fathers has at
/ tracted great numbers to the church
every day during the past week. The
spiritual life of the congregation has
! been revived One of the results Of
the mission has been the organization
of the Society of the Holy Name, IN
which the Catholic men of this COM
munity have solemnly promised to do
all in their power through example
and influence TO destroy the pernicious
custom of cursing and swearing. This
society also aims to do away with
all immodest, indecent as well as pro-
fame language. This effort should be
appreciated by all well thinking peo-
pie.
After the last Mass on this second
Sunday of the mission large num-
Der OF gentlemen we're solemnly re-
ceived into the Holy Name society.
It was truly edifying to hear them pro-
nounce the solemn act Of conservation.
The Holy Name society will bring
many blessings to the individual mem
bers and to the parish at large.
In the evening at 1880 o'clock the
mission was solenlnly closed. After
the sermon the papal benedictiot was
given. followed by benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament. Benediction over,
the choir sang the hymn Of thanksgiv-
ing. Holy God. We Praise Thy
Name" and thus ended st. Mary's
very successful mission.

and substantial improvements made on
the church property. The main en-
trance has been enlarged and commo-
dious steps lead you to the main build
ing The first story is well ventilated
and has finely equipped school rooms.
The staff of st. Mary's school this year
will be composed of four excellent class
teachers. besides a very competent mu-
sic teacher.
The second story is the church prop
er, and we may say that it is one of
the neatest and finest churches in the
west The roof has lately been re-
paired at a cost of $500, and soon the
whole building will be turned over to
the painters, who will make it one
OF the most attractive buildings in
Aspen.
Father billy and his people are to
be congratulated on the great work
being done.

perior of the House of the Good Shep-
herd. The ceremony took place on

The chapel was deliberately decorated
with cut flowers and greenery and
from every nook and Granny Of the

er ?. A Phillips acting as master OF
ceremonies. Father J. p. Carrigan OF
St Patrick's church delivered the SER
mon of the day.

Good Shepherd has proved a source of
satisfaction to friends Of that institu-
ton. She takes the position left vacant

and has been closely identified with the
splendid work there. Her long eXper-
fence fits her for her new duties and

Sister NoIasco Returns.

Real pleasure is felt by those most
closely interested in the advancement
Of the Immaculate Conception school,
in the return of Sister Nolasco as su-
perior of that institution. Her splen-
did executive ability was years ago
responsible for the strides made by the
school, but i'll health put a period to
her efforts five years ago. Since then
she has been in Albuquerque, Santa Fe,
San Miguel and Pueblo, devoting her
attention chiefly TO the sIperintendency
Of orphanages and sanitariums. con-
Quoted by the Sisters OF Charity at
these places.
Sister Nolasco returns much i'm
proved in health and enthusiastic over
the resumption of her labors at the
Denver school. The institution is now
in most fiourishing condition and Sis
ter Nolasco finds it even more firmly
fixed in the hearts of the people of the
Cathedral parish than when she left
1t. The work of Sister Mary Carlos,
who was removed at the close of the
last school term because of i'll health,
bore rich fruit. Sister Mary Carlos is
now at Mount Clemens, Mich. The le-
gion of friends Of Sister Nolasco well
come her back, while regretting that
it is the illness of Sister Mary Carlos
that necessitates the change.

vices for the repose Of the soul of young

BOISE, IDA.
Total Destruction by Fire of the Pro
Cathedral.

The frame church Of ST. John the
EVANGELIST. pro-cathedral of the diocese
of Boise was totally destroyed by fire
on Wednesday morning of last week.
The smoke had not cleared from the
debris when Bishop Glorieux author
lied Architect Charles Hummel OF
Tourtellotte & Co, to prepare plans
for a temporary building to be 3OXoO
with % foot ceilings, to be erected at
once and to be used while the cathedral
is in course of construction.
The building destroyed had just been
moved to the corner of Ninth and Fort
streets from its old location on Ninth
and Bannock where it had been used
for many years Workmen were en-
ployed about the building and at the
time the fire broke out they were all
working underneath the structure. The
dry frame work favored by open doors
and windows, when once started, was
soon a solid mass of flame. The de-
partment was quickly on the ground
but the building was doomed before
they arrived As to how the fire started
no one seems to know.
The property was insured in an
Omaha mutual insurance company for
So 600 and as Bishop GlorieuX had
given notice of the removal of the
building without objection from the
company he dDDfeneIluS no IEouDlS
about collecting the full value of the
policy.
Speaking of the building and fire
loss Bishop GlorieuX said that the
policy covered both the church school
and furniture and he thought the
value of the property destroyed was
not much over half of the whole
amount He said the church was first
built 80 years ago. In 1887 an add
ton was put on and another was built
on in 1891.
H. a. Larson and C. L. Carter We're
awarded the contract for building the
residence Of Bishop Glorieux. The
price, not including plumbing, heat
ing, wiring or brick material, is $6,925.
Work on the edfite has already be
gun. The brick will be furnished by
the bishop, he having purchased them
some time ago. Contracts for heat
ing, plumbing and wiring will be let
in few days. The residence complete
will cost about 1000. and will be the
finest in the north part of town. 1t
will be located on the Catholic square
near the new cathedral now in course
OF construction.

ing to aid them. They did not remain
long, however, but went out west on a
begging tour. Passing through Omaha.
they made the acquaintance of a
wealthy gentleman the Hon. J. A
Creighton, well known for his great
liberality. He promised to assist them
and right nobly and faithfully has he
kept his word as the present beautiful
monastery there erected at his sole ex-
Pense bears testimony.

Ri. Rev. Mother Abbess is. however.
in Evansville, Ind, under the special

astery was opened in 1897, a wing only
then being built, but which is now to
be completed through the liberality of
a generous benefactress, Mrs Mary

ITO Chestnut street, August %, in
honor of Mrs p H. Caruso. Covers
were laid for ten and the table was
beautiful with its decorations. of gar

Helena to make her home in Living
ston, and has made many friends who
regret to lose her.
The annual meeting of the Pioneers
of Montana will be held in Helena this
year during the state fair, Oct 81.
There will be three days session,
commencing on Tuesday of that week,
and Thursday will be Pioneer day at
the fair. Secretary Sanders says that
he expects more pioneers at the meet
ing this year than at any gathering
ever held. He estimates that of the
1500 members more than 500 will be
present at the reunion this year. The
rapidity with which the men of the
COS are dropping off makes these meet
ings dearer to those who yet remain.
The state fair offers the pioneers a
practical exhibit of the progress made
by Montana since they settled here,
and products are shown which the ear
ly settler believed to be impossible in
this altitude and latitude. No class of
Montana citizens take more pride in
the showing made at the state fair
than do the pioneers.

After facing death for twenty-four
hours, Con Sullivan, a Utah miner,
was rescued Monday by force of
about fifty miners. who for the past
day have been working in gangs of
three and four with feverish haste.
Sullivan was on his first shift, hav-
ing come here from Eureka to bury his
brother, who was killed by a mine
caVein about three weeks ago. He
was working on the 100-foot level of a
section of the Mountain Consolidated
mine when a cave of many tons of
rock, covering a distance of over
thirty feet, entombed him, narrowly
escaping crushing him to death.
BY tapping on the walls Sullivan
was able to communicate to his fell
low miners that he was still alive.
When the rescuers reached him the
man emerged from his narrow prison
with a smile on his countenance and,
unassisted, climbed the ladder to the
top.

pected that the attendance will be
larger this year. Other parish schools
will be opened during the coming week
