cost $l2OO.0O0, but since then Denver
has e11 own and the cathedral parish
has ass umed such proportions that
larger q nd haadsomer building was
decided upon. The second plans
brought the cost in the neighborhood
of 5000 800, but with the splendid in
terror it viii reach 100000. A mort
gage of almost 100000 viii be put
upon the building. The Massachusetts,
Life Insu ,ance company will make the

Standing at the corner of ColfaX and
Logan avenuas it has attracted the
attention of 10 urists all summer long,
because of its magnificent proper

more months. IL ere Will be less dlfh-
Guilty in securing the funds. The pas
tor undertook a, personal canvass on |

The old cathedral bell, which, since
the demolition of the Stout street
church. has reposed in the hhmacu-
late Conception school, will find
home somewhere in the new cathe-
dral Its usefulness is probably over,
but for sentim mental reasons it viii be
housed there. 1t tolled the funeral
