latest addition to the fighting force
of the United States navy is the tor
pedo boat destroyer O'Brien, which
was launched at Philadelphia a short
time ago The federal government in
thus naming one of it's naval vessels

tional capital The place of the battle
was Nachias Bay, and the date was

San Francisco Church Dedicated
Not long ago Archbishop Riordan, of
San Francisco, solemnly dedicated the
magnificent new Jesuit Church of ST.
Ignatius on Fulton Street in that city.

coast, replaces the one burned in 1906
Bishop Grace of Sacramento sang the
Pontifical Mass while the Right Rev.
erend Bishop O'Dea, of Seattle,
preached the sermon. The old bell

Golden Jubilee of Visitation Acad-
envy, Parkersburg, w. Va.-The golden
jubilee of the foundation of the
Convent of the Visitation, Parkers
burg, w. Va, during the Civil War, in
1864, was quietly celebrated on Au-
gust 5. The Rev. Henry Park, who
built the parish church of st. Francis
Xavier, in conjunction with Bishop
Whelan, of Wheeling, obtained from
the cradle of the Visitation at George
town, Mother Appolonia Digges to
govern the little community. The
;o4; LOTT in
ton, author of "Linton's Historical
Charts and Books" also professed at
Georgetown, came to direct the
academy; three Sisters from Fred
erick, Md, and two from Baltimore
Convent constituted the little band
of seven Sisters, who we're joined
later by two of the Sisters from the
Wilmington community, then at
Keokuk, Iowa. Catholicity was in it's
infancy in the vicinity, but the nuns
opened small academy, which, with
the parochial school at the extremity
of the garden afforded instruction to
girls and promulgated the faith in
that section. The classes of first
communicates came also to the con-
vent for instruction, the League of
the Sacred Heart and Apostleship of
Prayer was early introduced; so that
the Visitation nuns became a power
full auxiliary to the parish priest.

Last month at Holy Family Insti-
tute, Fitchburg, Mass, was celebrated

Magdalen Heating, Foundress and

Presentation Order of that city

of the Springfield Diocese to celebrate
the tiftieth anniversary of her profess
sion in the religious life.

ception Church, Jackson, Mo-, has
caused to be published in the papers

ment, which speaks for itself:

deau County, after this date July %,
