ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PAUL

portion of the roof OF the seminary
dining-hall was destroyed by fire on
Wednesday morning, September %.
The fire, which is believed to have
originated in defective due, caused
several thousand dollars worth of
damage. Before the fire apparatus ar
rived the students had removed all the
furniture and furnishings of the build
ing. While fighting the fire, District
Chief Conway was seriously injured
by a fall and was removed to st.
Joseph's Hospital, where he is report
ed out of danger.
Owing to the fact that IL will require
several weeks to repair the damage
done by the fire, the annual alumni
reunion, scheduled for Thursday, Octo-
Der Ia, has been postponed until st.
Paul's day, January 25, 1915.
The anniversary of the conservation
of st. Mary's Chapel will be commend
rated with a Solemn High Mass, on
October IA.
College OF ST. Thomas: The annual
encampment of the corps of cadets
scheduled for September has been
transferred to the end of May. The
new students will then be better pre-
pared to derive more profit from the
instruction as to the manner of con-
Quoting the camp.
The War Department has issued to
the College two machine guns of the
latest model. These guns, with the
two field pieces already in possession
of the College, will constitute ade-
quate equipment for artillery instruc-
ton. The machine gun detachment
will be under the command of Cadet
Major John Ayott.
ST. Paul Tabernacle Society: Rev.
eTend James G. Byrne, pastor of st.
Mary's church, st. Paul, will give the
address at the meeting of the st. Paul
Tabernacle Society in the Royal Ar
canum hall, Lowry building, on Friday
afternoon, October 8.
C. T. A. U. Meeting: Owing to the
fact that the Old State Capitol cannot
be secured during the week of Octo
Der 10 for the convention and public
rally of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union of the Archdiocese, the meeting
which was scheduled for October ii
has been postponed until Thursday,

tegeers preached retreat for the in
mates of the Little Sisters Home in
Northeast Minneapolis.
Guild of Catholic Women: The
Needlework Department of the Guild
OF Catholic Women of st. Paul is de-
sirous of establishing branches in all
the parishes of the city. It's mem
bers meet for sewing each Monday in
the rooms at the Wilder Charity Build
ing. If each parish would establish
and maintain at least one sewing cir
Gle, which might be made social
center, much more could be done not
only in sewing for the needy but in
friendly visiting. Moreover, as each
parish chairman would be familiar
with the conditions in the parish, a
large part of the delay, now unavoid-
able, in making an investigation would
be done away with. Furthermore,
many women would attend local cir
Gle who could rot come to meeting
down town. The rooms in the Wilder
Building, with the use of three sew
ing machines, are available any day
except Monday for the use of any par
ish circle asking for them. The De-
partment hopes to be able to furnish
goods, patterns, sewing material, etc.,
where needed.
The regular annual collection of gar
ments by the st. Paul branch of the
Needleworl Guild of America will take
place during October and the distribu-
ton will be made on October 26 at the
Wilder Building. The Guild is repre-
scented on the Needlework Board by
Mrs. William Henderson, $50 Hague
Ave, and it is her wish that all gar
ments meant for the Guild of Catholic
Women be specifically and carefully
