Authority and 1nflllibility of the
Church. DIR. Monk read the article
and became so impressed by it that
he wanted to read more about the
Catholic Church. He began by trying
to find the nearest Catholic priest,
who might settle many doubts he had
about the Catholic Church. And he
found that the nearest priest was Fa-
Their Cross of Wilmington, Del. DR..
Monk and all his farmily went to
Wilmington to see Father Cross, and
In due time the family were received
into the Church. DIR. Monk returned
to his home, but not to be an idler in
the work of the Lord He went among
his neighbors and told them OF the
worth Of the Catholic Church, and
many Of them listened and studied
and prayed, and in due season were
baptized as children OF the one true
Church. One of DR.. Monks grand
daughters is now q Sister of Mercy,
and a grandson recently Joined the
Benedictine order at Belmont, N. C.
Until DR.. Monk and his family became
Catholics there were no Catholics at
Newton Grove, Delaware. Now q
goodly part Of the settlement are
Catholics.
This is striking Illustration Of the
power OF the printed words, observes
the Sacred Heart Review. All these
conversions flowed from that one ar
ticle read by DR.. Monk twenty five
years ago. Catholics who are trying
to spread information about the
Church. in printed FORM as widely as
possible, are not alive to their OPP
portunities. Catholics who subscribe
for Catholic papers are doing well;
but they would do better if, after hav-
Ing read those papers. they should
send them to non Catholic friends
Many people who take the Review dc
this. Instead of letting the useful
ness Of the Review end with them
selves, they send it every week to nom
Catholic friends who they know will
be instructed and uplifted by it's many
excellent articles. A conversion may
not result in every case from the read
ing Of Catholic paper, or an article
about the Catholic Church in secu.

A Heroic Priest.

A thrilling race with death was
ridden and won by Father McKinnOn,
Of Nelson. B. c.. a few days ago when
Aimee Amicon, an employee of the Trail
smelter, fell into vat Of acid, re-
ceiving such Injuries that immediate
death was Inevitable. The doctors
said Amicon might 1--we half an hour.
and the unfortunate man asked for
the priest.
Father McKinnon got the message
at Nelson and forthwith applied to
Henderson Brothers livery for their
fastest mount. He was given the race
horse boarder, Oregon John, with
which he started for Trail at hard
gallop, taking q new short cut, re-
ducing the distance 20 eight miles by
going dizzily down the mountain.
Here the horse ran away. the priest
hanging on until thrown, within few
hundred yards from Trail Hospital. He
sustained broken rib and many
bruises, but paid no attention to them
until he had comforted the dying man
and administered the sacraments
Amicon died three minutes later.
The priests ride stands as a record
lasting just 10 minutes.

Attractions at Wonderland.

Only three more weeks remain of
the season for Wonderland park, and
that popular resort Is literally making
hay while the sun shines, as the warm
days and nights are driving people to
it in droves. With It's flowers, cleo
trical illumination and music, it is
worth while a visit. especially as the
management seems TO be able to fur
nish cool breezes when they are not
to be obtained elsewhere.
Sunday the change of bill for next
week includes among the platform
acts the appearance of the famous
Dumitrescue troupe of performers
upon the quanlate horizontal bar, and
the airdome announces the Benning-
ton due of eccentric travesty singers
who introduce novel electrical effects
in their speciality. Also La Adelia, a
toe dancer who is called the Dane
ing Sunbeam" Very acceptable con-
certs by the Northwestern Military
band draw many people to the parl,
this season.

ST. PAUL NEWS

Division No. 9, A o. H. won the
baseball game from Div. on the ice
house grounds Sunday morning. Both
teams kept the score pretty close until
the 9th inning, when Div. 9 brought
in 8 runs. The good work was started
by that very clever pitcher, O'Keefe
who was the first man at the bat In
the 9th and made fine three-base hit
The others clear down the line fol-
lowed his good example and knocked
the ball clear over the flelders' heads
On account of the ebsence OF several
of the players, Mngr. Grogan was
compelled to get in the game. Joe
certainly did fine ball playing, both al
the bat and in the field. The flies
he caught fairly made you hold your
breath. Miller pitched for Div. 4 and
did his best but fate was against him
McNulty played very we'll behind the
batter and let very few balls pass him.
The baseball season will close in two
weeks. II weather permits games Will
be played on the 22nd and 18th and 1t
is expected that the finish will be hot
Divisions and 1 are now tie for first
place.

AN OLD RESIDENT

-l., =: TIL. ~;&x

Of Pierce County, Wis, Dies at Her
Daughters Home in This City.
Mrs. Michael WEIGH aged SO years,
died last Sunday night at the home of
her daughter Mrs. Daniel Mulholland,
1880 Fourth street north, after brief
illness. Deceased. whose maiden
name was Honora Morrissey, was born
in Ballyhimicken, parish Of Ladys-
bridge, County Cork, Ireland, in 1921.
When about % years Of age she was
married to Michael WEIGH and in 1S49,
or shortly after their marriage, they
came to America, first settling in Tar
rytown, N. Y. During the next few
years they lived in Amherst, Mass,
and in Chicago, ILL.,, finally leaving the
latter named city in 1857 and settling
in Prescott, Wis, where the family
continued to reside until 1861, when
they moved to Ellsworth in the same
county and where her husband died in
February, 1900. Nine children were
born to them Of which number but
two are now living, one son and one
daughter, Michael WEIGH Of Ellsworth
and Mrs. Daniel Mulholland Of Min
neapolis. But few years ago Mrs.
passed away as above indicated. On
Tuesday last her remains were taken
to Ellsworth and from thence to the
church of Our Lady Of Perpetual Help
ut Clayfield, where the funeral services
were conducted Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock by Rev. Father O'Toole.
In his sermon, which was replete with
good advice to the living, he urged up
on all the necessity of keeping well
prepared, for death was something
that no one escaped and 1t often came
unheralded and without warning. In
closing he wildly portrayed the trials
and struggles of the early settlers of
that section and paid feeling tribute
to the memory Of the deceased, one
of that band of noble and sturdy
pioneers who were ever loyal to the
faith implanted in them.
At the close of the services at the
church the body was taken to the
Clayfeld Catholic cemetery, followed
by many of her old friends and neigh
bors, where it was laid to rest beside
those of her husband and children who
had gone before.
The pall-bearers, honorary and act
i've, at the funeral were as follows:
Thomas Connors, M. c Burns, Thomas
Murphy, Peter Crane, Thomas Shan
non, Michael Rudolph, Thomas Riley
and William Foy.
Among those from the outside who
attended the obsequies Of Mrs. WEIGH
were her only brother, Michael Nor
rissey, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Mulhol-
land, H. B. Mulholland and Edward
O'Brien all Of this city. Peace be to
her kindly soul.
