 CATHOLIC INDIANS Hold Picturesque Ceremo- nies Under the Open Da- kota Sky.

Unusual and impressive features at tended the solemn high mass that was celebrated the other day at the open ing of the Catholic Sioux congress of North Dakota The celebrant was Rev. Albert Negahnquet, the only full blood Indian in the American priest hood to-day, and the mass was offered up out in the open, before an altar vaulted only by the bright blue sky. The morning sunlight illuminated the tabernacle and enhanced the rich tones of the vestments worn by the officiating priests. The scene was made effective by the grouping of Catholic Sioux Indians. The condi- tions attending the solemnity bore striking resemblance to those that marked the offering of the sacrifice in the early mission days at rudely improvised shrines in the open.
 Rev. William H. Ketcham, director of the bureau of Catholic Indian Mis- sions, from Washington, D. C., took part in the ceremony. A large number of Catholic Indians encamped at St. MichaePs during the congress. They manifested remarkable interest in the sessions. Father Negahnquet is work ing with great success among the Chippewas in Minnesota.

pense was small. Out of this simple plan of a. free intelligence office for the unemployed is now growing a movement to federate the charities of
 Rochester and focus all betterment activities into central clearing house of information.
 The attendance was inspiring and the interest keen from the beginning The smallest audinece on the StOrni- est night was larger twice over than the average Sunday evening audience in any church of equal capacity in the city; and on most occasions people
 way was found to measure accurately the proportion of non-churchgoers,
 but careful estimate places it at eighty per cent. The total attendance exceeded 30,000; the number of separ- ate persons miniStered to is reckOned
 at 10000. Inspired by this example a number of churches put new inter est into their evening service and the attendance in no church was de pleted. The Ministerial Association at first undecided, at length endorsed the F. s: B. plan with emphasis and sent to the final meeting a represen- tative on it's behalf to give greeting and, testimony and to invite non churchgoers in the audience to con- meet themselves with any church most since accepted in a number of in stances.
 In some respects the most hopeful thing about this series of theatre ser vice was the keen interest and pride taken in them by the labor organiza- tionS.
 One of the labor leaders wrote: eve have demonstrated that men in diff ferent walks of life can meet and act in the best interests of the entire com munity. without treading on anyone's toes. Members of our committee have become broader, more enlightened and more charitable in their opinions. It has been demonstrated that a mem Der of the pulpit can be a leader of men in all walks of life.'
 Beginning frankly an experiment, the Peoples Sunday Evening has so signally demonstrated it's place and work in the community that it is to be continued and enlarged The decision to this effect was unanimous among ministers and members of the advi- sorry committee, and it was confirmed with enthusiasm when submitted to the final audience. Moreover, as means of keeping in touch during the summer, ministerial visits are to go on and there is to be at least one reunion in the form of a popular basket picinc in Park. Later the hope is that a way may be found to cast this usefulness into a form of permanent organization, perhaps "a league for social service. &

aishotgun; the contents of which ne
2emptied into the body of DR.. TIT

tance from the house of Mr.. May.
and as yet lit is not Known what the
deceased was doing at the time ne

home in Newberry. The said affair
