The Fleet at Los AnaeIes.

Catholics of Los Angeles, through
the Rt. Rev. Bishop 'Conaty and Paul
j. Mccormick, grand knight of Los
Angeles Council, knights of Columbus,
have extended an invitation to Father
Gleason. chaplain of the fleet, and 9TH
er officers of the coterie under Admiral
Bob" Evans, to be their guests and
to make the knights club house their
headquarters while in that city.
Mr.. Mccormick last week sent a
wireless message to Father Gleason
to be conveyed to other officers of the
fleet as we'll. and accompanying it was
one from Bishop Conaty urging that
it be accepted. Many of the officers
and men are Catholics. and large
representation is included in the East
ern councils of the Knights of Colum-
bus. Mr.. Mccormick was ap-
pointed a committee of one to meet
the fleet at San Diego and renew the
invitation and to learn the details of
the stay in Los Angeles. In circular
sent to members of the council Mr.
Mccormick refers to the event as fol-
lows:
Il take this method of calling to
your individual attention. as knight
of Columbus, the propriety and advis-
ability of manifesting in some slight
degree our interest and concern in
probably the greatest event in the his
tory Of California. Indeed, it might
be said without any semblance of ex-
aggeration. that the coming of the
great battleship fleet marks one of the
leading historical events in the history
of this country, especially in the his
tory of the navy in addition to the
all important occasion. and the pa
triotic sentiment that it must of nee
essity inspire in the hearts of every
true American citizen. AS such, it
should particularly commend itself to
the members of our honored Order,
for the reason that we are essentially
an American organization, and our
obligation pledges us to fealty and
allegiance to all American interests.
Another reason why we should evil
dence an unusual and more than orcli-
nary interest in the advent of the fleet,
is because of the fact that the chap
lain thereof. the Rev. Father Gleason,
is one of US. and among the officers
and crew Of the fleet are numbered
many Catholics"
AS stated in The Monitor last week,
the Catholic ladies of Los Angeles will
play a prominent part in the enter
tainment Of the fleet. They will give
a. dinner to the enlisted men of the
fleet. They will have complete charge
on that day and are making extensive
preparations to give the men an enter
tainment they will remember. It will
require the services Of 400 women to
carry out the plans now proposed, and
that number have volunteered for the
work
According to Mrs. p P. O'Brien,
the ladies expect to entertain about
$4,000 enlisted men at the big dinner.

THE two foremost public men in
the United States today" says the
Catholic Columbian. ARE Theodore
Roosevelt and William J. Bryan. These
two men do not hesitate to proclaim
their faith in God. their belief in
Christ. and their respect for religion
They exert a powerful influence for
good. They have preached against
dishonesty, against injustice. against
perjury. against oppression of the poor
by lawless wealth. against race sui
eide, against the shirking of duty.
and against other forms of evil. They
have been distinct benefit to the
moral life of the nation"

Eight pilgrimages of American
Catholics are to GO forward to Rome
this year, says the Catholic Sun. 1t is
nevertheless fact that there are peo-
pie who assert that American Catholics
are wanting in piety and sincerity. We
should like to know, however. what
other country can point to so many
pilgrimages to the Eternal City.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. Ex-senator
Foraker will not be given an opportu.
nifty to vindicate himself of the Hearst
charges by a series of speeches
through the state if the republican or.

Every effort will be made by the
leaders to put a crimp in an attempt

Williams and w. H. Phipps conferred
upon this matter, while in Cincinnati
with William H. Taft, and a decision
to thwart any effort of F oraker to take

Ever since the charges were made by
Mr.. Hearst that Foraker had received
money from the Standard Oil company

condemnation have been received at

Playgoers of discriminating tastes
will welcome the coming to this city
of Wagenhals and Kemper's produc-
ton of Eugene Walters great play of
contemporaneous life in America,

the sensation of the past two seasons.
A special cast gave the play for five

In every particular, it is promised
the performance will be equal to the
New York company and production.

the greatest play produced in fifteen
years and in it there is a forceful, vir-

the feeling that cleanliness and de-
cency in the drama is far more fasci-
mating than viciousness, when it is
properly presented. Ragged Robin
is winning golden opinions and, in
c~identally, a golden harvest for the
management throughout the country.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-The chol-

day, has concentrated the attention Of
the st. Petersburg authorities on the
1ong-neglected task of improving the
water supply and facilities of
the capital.
The municipal hospitals in the past
twenty four hours have reported All
cholera cases and 176 deaths. There
is a total of 1857 patients in the vari-

That municipal statistics are incom-

coaches carrying the mourners and a

rude collins goes daily to this place.
The scarcity of grave diggers has
caused a painful delay in the past few
days, 100 collins containing bodies
now being stored in the adjoining
