masters of ceremonies. The sermon
was preached by Rev Father Sasia,
s. J., president OF St. Ignatius college.
In his sermon Father Sasia sketched
the history of the Catholic church. He
declared that the Catholic was pre-
eminently a church builder. He praised
the people Of Sacred Heart parish for
their zeal in constructing the edifice.
Toward the close of the mass Arch
bishop Riordan addressed the congre-
cation briefly and noted the able work
of their leader, Father McQuaide He
said that the parish was not complete
without schools. and urged the mem
bers to. equal efforts in establishing
parochial institutions for the younger
generation.
The dedication of Sacred Heart
church yesterday marked Father Nc
Quaides triumph over many difficulties.
The work on the church was begun
six years ago and the present building
was first occupied by the congregation
five years ago. Difficulties which
seemed insurmountable arose to hinder
its final completion and when these
were overcome just before the great
fire of 1906 that calamity served as an
other setback

the largest parish in the diocese.
Father McQuaide succeeded Rev
Hugh Lagan as pastor of Sacred Heart
church. Previous to his pastorate he
had eXerted his priestly influence prin-
cipally among the young men of the
parishes in which he labored. During
the Spanish American war he served
as chaplain of the first California regi-
ment of volunteers. and served in the
islands in this capacity.
Father McQuaide was born in this
city, and received his early collegiate
training in this state. When he was
ready to complete his ecclesiastical
training he entered st. Mary's college,
Baltimore, from which seminary he
was ordained.
He was associated with Father Nc
Ginty in Holy Cross church for some
years and has given a great deal of at
tention TO the Knights of Columbus
movement in this state.

There is always something romantic

a cave dwelling is told of two Russian
seamen who had deserted their ship
and afterward lived for four days in a

DR.. o. r. Avison, missionary and

financial aid for the Korean people,
spoke yesterday before the Young
Women's Christian association on his
work in the far east.
DR., Avison said that it would be
difficult for him to talk freely upon any
Asiatic subject owing to anti-Mon-
golian feeling. but he believed that of
all the far eastern countries Korea
was making the greatest progress
toward Christianity.
Koreans make good Christians. .
said Dr. Avison. They have a strong
desire to learn and once they are
started in the right direction nothing
can stop them. Unlike other coun-

French bride is comparatively less ex-
travagant than her British or American
sister. Where the British wife requires

$50 a week for the house keeping.
the French wife will manage admirably

regard her husband as mere money

as a place to sleep in. As soon as
she is married she is her husbands
partner in business as well as in pri-
vate life. She considers it her duty TO
make herself acquainted with every
detail of her husbands business. No
French husband will think Of taking
any important step without first con-
sulting his wife. and her advice is often
amazingly shrewd-New York Tribune.
