POPE BENEDICT s LETTER.

One of the most solemn and inn
pressive features connected with
the dedication of the new Cathe-
dral was the reading of the auto
graph letter addressed by Pope
Benedict XIV, to his Venerable
Brother" the Archbishop of st.
Paul. 1t clothed the event with a
new significance and made the
sacred edifice resplendent with a
new glory. 1t placed the Cathe-
dral in a new light as part of the
Universal Church, a link in the
long unbroken chain of earthly
Shrines of the Most High that ex-
tends back to the days when the
Savior Himself conversed with
men. For the new Cathedral does
not stand in stately grandeur on
this central hilltop of St. Paul to
speak for or Of itself alone; it
reaches out to the churches Of all
nations and all times, an integral
part of that Universal Church
which began it's career of enlight-
eminent and progress on the first
Pentecost in the Holy City Of Zion.
The reading Of the letter was
most solemn and dramatic. The
Most Reverend Archbishop, seated
on the throne, held the letter in
his hand until the Right Reverend
Bishop O'Gorman had read the
letter Of the Cardinal Secretary
Of State which accompanied it.
Then he handed the letter to the
deacon who bore it to the pulpit
where he remained until it was
delivered to him to be brought
back again to the Most Reverend
Archbishop. AS soon as the letter
of the Holy Father was an
nounced, the whole congregation
-prelates, priests, seminarians
and laity-rose as one man and
stood with reverent attention
during the reading Of it, as a tes-
timony of loyalty to the Holy Fa-
Their and mark of reverence for
his supreme spiritual authority.
1t was a unique manifestation of
their consciousness of the univer-
salty of the faith they cherished,
brought home to them in special
manner as they listened to the
words of Pope Benedict XIV, to
his Venerable Brother of st. Paul.
The individuality Of him to whom
the letter was addressed was lost
sight of for the moment, or rather,
it became merged in the idea of
the universatility of the Church
conjured up by the name of Bene-
dict XIV. There were few persons
in that vast assembly who did not
feel the spell Of the moment, whose
features were not illumined with
joy, whose eyes were not dimmed
with tears. The solemnity of these
moments and the wealth of mean
ing they enshrined enabled them
| to appreciate more fully the
glorious heritage of the world
wide faith which in their portion
and their membership in the
Church of Ages which they love
with an affection deepened and
strengthened by this latest evil
dence of the paternal solicitude of
him who is its visible head on
earth.

Some time ago Phil Wagner,
publisher of "The Melting Pot, "
pleaded guilty in the United States
District Court and was fined
800 for sending through the
mails a cartoon misrepresenting
Billy Sunday, the evangelist, and
Harry Kichenor, who drew the
cartoon, was also fined 800 on
his plea of guilty. Why can't the
law that made this possible be in
voked against the anti-Catholic
publications that are eliminating
the Pope, the Catholic clergy, and
Catholic institutions? Let the
same measure of justice be melted
out to all who prostitute their
talents in fomenting sectarian
bigotry of any kind.

con the face of it, it would seem
that the Protestant clergymen are
DESTROYS of using the authority OF
the State to make good their fail
ure to reach the children of their

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
GOOD FELLOWS.

The barkeeps seem a pleasant lot,
They greets yuh with a smile,
They sets the drinks before yuh
In a most allurin' style,
And while yer moneys plenty
They will treat yuh like king,
But when ye're fiat an busted
Why, that's quite diff'runt thing!
It's THANK you, sir" an How de do?"
And Won't yuh have a drink"
An Here's to Mr.. Miner
When yu'Ve got lot of chink,
It's Welcome to our city,"
When yu'ye got tidy sum,
But when the roll is squandered,
1t is, throw him out, tn bum!"
It's jolly when yu've finished
With yer labor underground
To linger in the barroom,
WhereS the bunch is hangin' round,
Where the barkeep hollers "Howdy''
When yuh toss across bill,
But it's quite another story
When yer roll is in the till!
It's thank you, sir" an "How's the
boy?"
An Mister this an that"
An Welcome to our city,
When the roll is good an fat.
It's Welcome to our city!"
When yuve got tn cash to pay,
But it's Take yer shoes an beat it,"
!; When yu'ye blowed the cash away!
So you kin run with barkeeps
Just as often as yuh please,
But will keep my distance
From such tricky friends as these;
They're cordial an they're merry
When there's money in yer poke,
But they go an call tn bouncer,
When ye're down an out an broke!
It's Mister" this, an Mister that,
An Here to you, old Scout"
But it's "Git, yuh dirty hobo!'
When ye're broken an down and
out;
It's Welcome to our city,"
When ye're quite moneyed gent,
But it's Bounce the lazy loafer!"
When yer little roll is spent!

the annual retreat for laymen. 1t

half day, Saturday forenoon, from
their work. Now is the time to
make arrangements to set apart
these two days for spiritual up
building. For particulars write

In planning your summer read
ing do not forget to include a
liberal number of books on re-
ligious subjects. Spiritual read
ing revives and adds to one s
knowledge of the great truths of
religion and supplies food for
meditation. 1t is wholesome and
necessary antidote to the vapid, if
not positively bad, literature so
much in vogue nowadays.

CONDUCTOR MAY
IDENTIFY HAUSRR
Photo of Ape-Man Resembles Pas
senger Who Boarded Nels Gun
nerson's Car Night of Murder.
ACTIONS WERE MYSTERIOUS

That they have obtained further
evidence against Arthur Hauser,
charged with the murder of W. II.
Smith, Wocdmen Of the World cash
Ter. is the belief Of Detectives Rich
and Pszanowski.
The detectives have located a street
car conductor who believes he car
ried Hauser on his car the night of
the murder.
The conductor is Nels Gunnerson,
409 South Twentieth street. Gun
nerson is conductor of Farnam line
car, and on the night of the murder
q man boarded his car about mid
night at Fortieth and Farnam streets.
The man, Gunnerson says, was out of
breath and apparently had run a con-
siderable distance. lie rushed aboard
the car, hurriedly threw his fare into
the box and ran to the front of the
car to take the very forward seat.
He slouched as far down in the seat
as he could. pulled his coat up around
his neck and part Of his face and thrust
his hat far down over his forehead.
At Seventeenth and Farnam streets he
got off the car in such a hurried manner
that he almost knocked down a man who
was trying to board It, He Immediately
rushed up the street.
Noticed Man Closely.
Gunnerson says that he noticed all OF
these actions and got a fairly good look
at the mans face. because a month be-
fore he and another street car man were
held up on their way a1me from work and
on another occasion his car was held up
at Riverview park. These two occurrences
prompted him to watch carefully every
body who boarded his car at late hours.
Gunnerson believes Hauser is the man
who got on his car the night of the
murder. The photographs of Hauser in
the possession of the police very closely
resemble the passenger. Gunnerson de-
clares.
Rich and Pszanowski account for the
fact that the man boarded the car at
Fortieth and Farnam streets by the
theory that he ran from Fortleth and
Cunning. where he left Miss Grace Slater,
to Fortieth and Farnam. in an effort to
cover up his tracks.
If Gurnerson can identify Hauser as
the man who rode on his car the night
Of the murder, the detectives believe the
chain of evidence against him will be
complete.
