CONGRESS
ASSEMBLIES
[By Associated Press. ]


Montreal. Can, Sept. 1O.-A
throng of $4,000 people assembled on
Fletcher's field today for the first
open-air ceremonial of the Eucharist
Congress.
Archbishop Farley of New York,
who presided at the ceremony, cele-
brated mass at the temporary chapel.
and the preacher of the day was Mon
signor O'Connell, Archbishop of Bos-
ton.
When Cardinal Vannutelli. the pa
pal legate, arrived at the foot of the
mountain he was escorted by a
mounted squad of Hibernians, and a
set of chimes which had been placed
on his mount rang out welcome.
The immense crowd forced itself
within every inch of space outside
the police lines, which were tightly
drawn near the altar and pulpit.
Thousands ammeds against the
mountainsides and an equal throng
gathered beyond the street-car lines.
AT conservation the vast assemblage
fell on its knees. At conservation
mass the papal legate impaired the
benediction from the pulpit.
A hundred bishops were assembled.
On the right were the united choirs
of Montreal-all male voices, men
and boys,-and a band of so pieces.
fhc- crowning incident of the con
gress will be the eucharistic process
sion.

Did to the Organ
Pathetic Political I ale of How Sweet-Voiced
Siren Turned to Kissing Serpent

An organ is an interesting PROPOSE
tion any way you look at il.
When il is in tune il can be made
TO produce any variety of melodies.
When il is out of tune there is the
dickens and all to pay.
Some are pipe organs,-others are
reed organs.
some work by water power, while
Others only require u blow-boy
1t is because of the uncertainty Of
the local organ of the republican
party of Mesa county, that the old
line leaders of the party, the wheel
horses that have stood by IL I'm ad-
Versity and helped to secure such vic
tories as haye been achieved, are
somewhat perturbed, nay, even have
acquired certain degree OF crouch.
If you had given your party organ
the county printing, the big end of
the legal publications, oven, for a
time. stood for paying for double
leaded' space (until you got sore and
cut out the leads) beep lambasted by
others of the party forfgiving so much
patronage to the aforesaid organ un-
til proper profession of faith had
all that, and then the organ had kick
ed over the traces and espoused the
cause of rebel within the ranks. an
insurgent in other words, wouldn't
it make you mad?
That is just the fiNwith the repub-
licans of this county and the morning
organ CD of the party.
Everything was apparently serene

Guggy, tho Good and Great. was the
political idol before which the editors
kow-towei and burned much punk.
Daily offerings of incense were seen
to arise from the sanctum to the great
Joss of the republican machine, and
the editorial scribe would fain kiss
the hem of the garments of the high
PRIEST Senator DeLong, as further
evideEce of his fealty.
And so matters progressed, with a
surface as calm as the unbroken
sheen of an Italian sea.
But alas, for the fancied security.
Also alas. and mayhap alack, for the
sweet dreams of harmony and pro-
gram with which the old line repub-
llcans whiled away the hours.
The canker of insurgency had been
'stealthily at work on their morning
spokesman. Like the worm which eats
at the heart of the fruit leaving its
outward semblance apparently un-
changed, the sociaistic-insurgen
virus had been doing its deadly work
in the editorial Uranium.

could be made without ultimately

Washington. Sept 1O.-For more
than year the treasury department
has contemplated a systematization
of the designs for United States notes
and gold and silver certificates and
reduction in the size of paper cur
rency. No iess than J 9 miscellaneous
portrait and historic designs appear
upon the issc es now current These
serve no us0aGe purpose in Identify
ing the denC.dination of notes with
the designs they bear nor have they
been selected according 10 any scheme
of historical balance. AS an example
of existing confusion, the present
dollar silver certificate bears the por-
traits of both Lincoln and Grant The
plan is to reduce these nineteen mis-
cellaneous designs to nine, selecting
the portraits with some reference to
the Importance and position of their
subjects in American history and
using the same portrait on one de-
nomination throughout. The faces
would be placed in the center of the
note and would enable the holder to
determine at glance the denomina-
tion.
: -sTo" example, the dollar note,
which is in most common circulation,
might bear the portrait of Washing
ton, as the emancipator of the coun-
try az the founder of it's govern
ment; the 50 note, that of another
famous American, and so on for all
the separate denominations.
