himself, and loi here was an intrusion
that startled and thrilled him.

had told him not to lose himself by
wandering too far, for an interrnlnnble
labyrinth presented between the towns
and the mountain lairs Of the moon

had gone beyond the bound set by his
advisers. The scenery had charmed
him. He had wandered on and on.
into a seeming paradise Of Wild

see the girl, who stood like statue.
Her dress was coarse, single piece

plated a garland OF bright wild flow

ders. She had gathered a handful Of
pebbles and shells. and one by one she
was casting these slowly. with
rhythmic, even motion OF her graceful

watch the eddying circles they formed.

The 'IrrestibIes' VS.. The
4 ImmovabIes' at St.
heIena's Parish.

The old-time feud between the in
door baseball teams of St. Helenas
parish, one composed of the married
men and the other of unmarried men,
will be renewed at a contest which
has been arranged for Sunday, July l..
The Shingles" are restive under the
defeat they received at the hands Of
the benedicts at the last contest, and
are going in this time with a keen
zest to retrieve their fortunes; but the
benedicts have the prestige of victory
in their favor. They think they have
the singles number, and, of course,
that inspires confidence. They await
the assault of their adversaries with
a calmness and determination that is
itself long step toward victory. They
claim to be immovable, while their op-
ponents claim to be irresistible, so
that when the two forces clash some
thing is bound to happen.

Shea, sixth. This is a record that
speaks volumes for the faithful teach
ers in charge of the parish school.

At the luncheon at the Spalding ho-

prominent citizens of the northern
part of the state participated, among
them being many non-Catholic friends
of the bishop. One of these was
bishop J. D. Morrison of the Protes-
tant Episcopal diocese of Duluth, who
addressed the assemblage. Speeches
were also made by w. A. McGovigle
and Luther Mendenhall, the former be-
ing president of the Duluth, Missabe

stated that he regarded the bishop as
one of the most useful citizens OF the

FIRST SOCIAL CENTER FOR CATH.
OLlC SOLDIERS.
Pavilion Will Seat 7OO-Services Will
Be Equivalent to Y. M. c. A.

A large pavilion, nearing completion
at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, is the first
result of the half million dollar
fund that is being raised by the
knights Of Columbus to establish So
cial centers at all the great military
camps of the new army, says the
Kansas City Register.
These recreation centers will be
similar to those maintained last sum-
mer on the Mexican border under the
K. of G. auspices. OF all the fraternal
orders in existence, the knights of
Columbus was the only one to under
take such a widespread social service
on the Mexican border, and they prob
ably will be the only one represented
in the present war with such activities
The building, and everything per-
tanning to it, is under the auspices of
the Knights of Columbus. Rev. r. G.
McFadden of St. Louis, is acting chap
lain of the Catholic contingent at the
barracks, which is about 40 per cent of
the soldiers there, but so far he has
not been commissioned. Father Nc
Fadden, a young man himself is
deeply interested in young men. He
said the service at the pavilion will be
the equivalent of that offered his
| Protestant brothers through the Young
Mems Christian Association.
| The pavilion is screened on all sides
and can seat 700. The sides can be
| lowered when the weather is inclem.

RIOTS IN JERUSALEM.
Treasures of the Holy Places Being
Carried Away by Ravaging Turkish
Hordes.

Rumors from Alexandria brought by
Syrian merchants who have succeeded
in reaching Egypt on board fishing
boats declare that the Christian popu.
lation Of Syria are in panic, for the
Young Turk authorities of Jerusalem
are proceeding to carry off all the valu.
able objects and all the relics of the
holy places, the churches and converts
of Jerusalem. Serious riots have been
caused in the Holy City, where the
native Christians and Syrian pilgrims,
driven beyond endurance by seeing the
treasures of the holy places in intidel
hands, have several times attacked the
Turkish marauders, only to be shot
down by the soldiers.
The CONSERVATION in the Christian
circles of Asia Minor has been
brought to its height by the, rumor
prQpagated by Turkish functionaries
that the Young Turks have resolved
to destroy the sacred edifces by
blowing them up. These men have
already shown their entire want of
reverence, even for their own holy
places, as witness the robbing of the
Prophets shrine at Medina, so there
can be no confidence that they will
respect the cradle of Christianity, un-
less the Intervention of the Holy Fa-
ther is strong enough even to stay
this sacrilegious hand. Monsignor Dol
CT is very busy at Constantinople over
the matter.

DUKE OF NORFOLK SAID TO HAVE
GIVEN LARGE SUM TO POPE.
(From European Letter of Catholic
Press Association)

A rumor is going about in England
that the Duke of Norfolk before his
death sent very large SUMS, ,000,-
900 is spoken of-to the Holy Father
for the needs of the Catholic church.
The provision does not appear in the
summary of the probate published in
England, therefore if true, it must
have been a deed of gift before death,
or the payment is a secret trust under
the will. The Duke was a generous
contributor to Peters Pence in this
country, and frequently made up the
yearly sum realized for this object to
princely total. Whether, however
his means allowed him to make such
a noble provision after his death can
not be definitely stated.

SERMON BY BISHOP REILLY OF
FARGO.
Non-cathoIics Also Join in the Genera
Acclaim of the Distinguished
PreIate.

The people of the Twin Cities, espe-
cially Minneapolis, have more than
passing interest in the golden jubilee
of Rt. Rev. James McGoldrick, bishop
of the Duluth diocese, which has been
celebrated with enthusiasm at the
Zenith City during the past week, for
it was to st. Paul he came when he
arrived in this country from Ireland,
and was installed as assistant pastor
of the cathedral in that city. Born in
Tipperary in 1841 he was ordained to
the priesthood at All Hallows Col
lege, Dublin, June H., 1867. After a
short period at St. Paul he was COM
missioned by Bishop Grace to estab-
lish parish in Minneapolis, which
was then in swaddling clothes. The
result of this first effort was the
Church of the Immaculate Conception
at Third avenue and Third street,
which was the forerunner Of today's
splendid Pro- Cathedral of st. Mary's.
He served pastorate of twenty-five
years in this city, during which time
he took an energetic part in the estab-
lishment of nearly all the Catholic in
stitutions which the city now enjoys,
among them the Catholic Orphan
Asylum and st. Mary's Hospital.
He was consecrated bishop of Du.
luth December 27, 1889, and has been
ever since active and energetic In the
promotion of religious and philan-
thropic institutions, both within and
outside of his own church. He is a
member of the Library Board as we'll
as the Scientific Local Association and
other economic and educational or
ganizations. That he has achieved in
a high degree the esteem Of the COM
munity is attested by the general par
ticipation in the several events of
jubilee week, which eliminated with
the solemn high mass at the Duluth
cathedral on Tuesday morning, at
which the bishop was celebrant.
