WILL ENJOY TRIP.

Those who accompany Trinity
Council, Y. M. l., to Mammoth Cave
tomorrow will certainly enjoy the
trip. A large and select party is as
sured, and Trinity's committee and
the Louisville e. Nashville manage
ment have made every arrangement
for the convenience and comfort of
the excursionists. The special train
will leave Union Station, Tenth and
Broadway, at o'clock in the morn
ing, arriving at the Cave before noon,
when a special and bounteous dinner
will be served at the Cave Hotel. The
afternoon will be given over to tours
through the historic and wonderful
cave, the choice OF routes being open
10 the visitors. Almost endless are
the wonders and beauties of the
Mammoth and adjacent caves. Each
has its distinctive features, and the
tour of one creates the desire to ex-
plore the others. This will be the
last opportunity for many TO make
this trip and should be taken advan-
tage Of The fare will be $3.50, and
includes round trip ticket, hotel bill
and cave fees. On the train return
ing, which will arrive here at 1915.

freshments.

TOMORROW's EXCURSION.

From all indications the excursion
to be given tomorrow to Jasper, Ind,
by the Catholic Knights of Louisville
will in every way surpass any ever
given over the Southern railway.
For weeks committees here and in
Jasper have been perfecting the ar
rangements and not a single detail
has been overlooked. There has
been great demand for tickets and
It is expected the excursionists will
number at least 500. Chairman
Ben Kruse, Charles Hill, William T.
Meehan and Charles Falk have ar
ranged the programme for the ex-
cursionists, who will be met on their
arrival in Jasper by the Star Band
and the local Knights, who will act
as escort to Maple Park, where there
will be a band concert and refresh
ments. At 1880 there will be a base
ball game on the Jasper College
campus between teams selected by
Ben Kruse and Capt. Kunkel and
representing Louisville and Jasper.
After the game there will be amuse-
ments and a good time at the park.
Thursday word was received from
Capt. Kunkel that the hotels and
restaurants would grant special rates
and that for all there would be
everywhere a hearty welcome. Round
trip tickets will be $1.50, children
half price. The train will leave the
Union Depot, Seventh and the river,
at 1880 o'clock sharp.

COLLEGE OPENING.

st. Xavier's College will reopen
college hall, celebrated by the Very
Rev. Father Deepen. The coming
session closes a half century epoch
in the work of the institution, and
the Xaverian Brothers, who conduct
the college, are to be congratulated
on the progress they have made dur
ing this period. st. Xavier's was
opened in 1854 in small house To-
Gated on portion of the ground now
occupied by the new st. Boniface
school. In 1866 the institute was
moved to a building on Fourth ave-
nue., where the north wing of St.
Joseph's Infirmarys stands. In 1890
the spacious grounds and palatial
residence now occupied by the
Brothers were purchased, and ten
years later building, impressive IN
size and beautiful in architecture,
was erected. The interior of the
building is complete in its equipment
and finely adapted to the needs of
such an Institution. 1t has been the
aim of the Brothers to keep the
college abreast of similar institutions
noted for efficiency of work and
high standard. 1t should be a mat
ter of pride and satisfaction to them
that they have so we'll succeeded, as
the thousands of young men whom
they have trained and fitted for life
amply attests. Their alumni are
found in every walk of life and are
known to be men of high principle
and professional and business at
tainments. To have in their midst
such an institution is one of the
greatest advantages a Catholic COM
can enjoy, and Catholic par
ents should take advantage of the
opportunity st. Xavier's affords to
give their sons an education which
will prepare them for life here ani
hereafter.
The college affords the choice of
three courses-the classical, the
scientific and the business course.
These courses are designed to meet
the requirements of students who
are preparing for the university,
technical school or business.

ABBOT oBREcHT SAILS.

The Right Rev. Edmund Obrecht,
Abbot of the monastery at Geth-
semani, sailed Wednesday for Eur
ope, where he will spend several
months on official business. He will
attend a meeting of the Grand Chap
ter of the Trappist order to be held
at Citeaux, France, and will visit his
sister and other relatives in Alsac-
Lorraine. The Abbot will also go to
Rome for a private audience with
Pope Plus and for conference with
the Sacred Congregation of the
Propaganda. He will report to the
Pope the information secured by him
a year ago when he made a trip
around the world as Papal delegate
to the missionary Bishops and pre-
lectures apostolic Of India, China
and Japan. During his absence the
Very Rev. Father Patrick Dunn, the
Prior, is in charge at Gethsemani.
Since leaving Louisville Abbot
Obreeht spent a few days at the

WHAT BISHOP REALLY SAID.

The Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs,
Bishop of Toledo, who in April went
to Rome with 112 pilgrims, including
fifteen clergymen of his own do
cese, and created a sensation by a
speech read to Cardinal Merry del
Val, Papal Secretary of State, re-
turned last Saturday by the Cunarder
Campania. He said the European
press had magnified the significance
of his utterances. He had suggested
in his address on behalf of the pill
grims that all pilgrims should use
their influence to have the spiritual
rights of the church in Italy en-
larged. This inspired the Roman
press, whose editorials we're reprint
ed in English publications, to attack
the Bishop as an innovator, declaring
that he was the first leader of pill
grims that had ever ventured 20
make suggestions as to the temporal
government of Italy.
The Bishop said that he had had
no quarrel with the Quirinal, and
that he did not believe in interfer-
ing with the temporal affairs of
italy. There we're some spiritual
rights that had been taken from the
Vatican which, he believed, should
be restored His Holiness could not
designate what Archbishop or Bishop
he might desire at a certain place
without the consent of the mon
archial government of Italy. The
Archbishop of Rome could not as
sumo his functions, although he had
been appointed year, because the
Government was opposed to him.
"All that we desire" the Bishop
said. "is the same measure of spir-
itual liberty we have in America,
You can not imagine President Will
son opposing the appointment or
selection by the Protestant church,
the Catholic church or any other
church of the Bishop or Archbishop
of its choice. There should be some
agreement between the Quirinal and
the Vatican by which the situation,
intolerable from the viewpoint of the
church, should be relieved or
ended "

first the Board of Directors pre-

a most prosperous condition and the
club rapidly reducing the home debt.
The second act was surprise party
by Ben Brumleve in honor OF the
arrival of a prospective member OF
this club. He proved a genial host
and all enjoyed his hospitality. II
was only when he was called on for
speech that he showed any agita-
ton. but he managed to get through
all right. 1t was a really jolly night
for the Columbians, who invite all
their friends to visit their club house,
which has undergone many improve
ments.

The large circle of friends OF
Bernard j. lansing were grieved to
learn of his death Thursday morn

ANOTHER SUCCESS SCORED.

The Hibernians of Louisville
scored another distinctive success
Tuesday evening, when they held
their annual reunion and picnic at
Phoenix Hill Park. Young and old
from all parts of the city thronged
the park and esplanade and pre-
sented a beautiful and inspiring
scene. While the young men and
women enjoyed the dancing and the
promenades their seniors met old
friends, renewed acquaintances and
spent most delightful evening.
County President Connolly and
Messrs. Thomas Tarpy, James
Welsh, John Maloney and John j.
Barry deserve great credit for the
success of this reunion, as does also
the Ladies' Auxiliary. The County
Board met Thursday night, and the
reports submitted, though not COM
plete, were most gratifying. Espe-
cially pleasing to those in charge was
the character of the gathering, which
attested the high standing of the
Ancient Order in Louisville.

SACRED HEART SCHOOL.

Next Monday the Sacred Heart
Commercial School, in connection
with the parochial school at Seven
teenth and Broadway, will open with
high mass by the pastor, Rev. Father
Walsh. Although the business de-
partment of this school has been es-
tablished but seven years, it has met
with the most gratifying success
from the very beginning, and every
indication points to an increase in
attendance during 1913-14 over for
mer years. About 200 pupils have
been graduated from the commercial
classes and been placed in splendid
positions in some of the best offices
in the city. In fact it has been diff
ficult to supply the demand for
stenographers and book-keepers from
Sacred Heart. The graduates have
an alumnae whereby they keep track
of and assist each other in obtain
ing positions, thereby constituting a
sort of an employment agency among
themselves, which is direct and
efficaceous. The society has among
its members many non-Catholics,
who are doing great credit to their
Alma Mater. 1t will be remembered
that Sacred Heart school received
the handsome A. N. Palmer medal
for penmanship last year over all
the other parochial schools in the
city. The commercial department is
under the capable and efficient di-
rection of Sister Angeline, of the
Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, who
teaches bookkeeping, together with
the kindred branches, spelling, gram
mar, arithmetic and letter writing.
Application should be made at once
TO Father Walsh or to Sister An
geline, at st. AIMS Home, Portland
