fendant in the suit of the City of Ham
mond to oust the Town of Hessville

ity of the annexation proceedings by

the information.
The case was argued July 6. the last
day of court. and taken under advise
ment by Judge Reiter until today Nc
Mahon & Conroy appeared for the city

Unable to get their car out of the

Mr.. Douglas said that he was driving

car and was hit, and, turning to right
to avoid him. he ran over the two other

for the men and called the Hammond

NEW STEP TAKEN IN DELIN-
QUENCY CURE.

An epoch-making step in the his
tory of institutions sheltering and
caring for erring and delinquent girls
and women of this country has been
taken by Archbishop Mundelein Of
Chicago, who has launched plan I'M
der which definite compensation and
opportunities for the future are pro-
vided for those who are placed in the
care of such institutions.
In a communication to the Mother
Superior of the House of the Good
Shepherd of Chicago, the Archbishop
tive on New Years day. Copies of
the letter have been sent to all the
members of the women's auxiliary
aiding that institution, and also to
similar institutions conducted by the
Good Shepherd Sisters throughout
this country. If the undertaking sue
ceeds it Will be adopted by every sim
liar Catholic institution in this coun-
try
The plan is to help the erring and
delinquent girls and women to carry
out their resolutions to mend their
ways by pecuniary help when they
leave the institution, without making
that help a dependency or charitable
gift.
To carry out this plan $500 month
will be needed, according to the es.
innate made by those in charge of the
House of the Good Shepherd, in adj
dition to their present income. TIC
meet this requirement of additional
funds the Archbishop will furnish
Sc, 900 per year, the balance to come
from women interested in the work
until such time as a sufficient endow
ment is secured.

THE TRUE TEST OF RELIGION.

Look not entirely upon the numeri-
cal strength of the religious orders;
look rather to the degree of voluntary,
sincere and diffused lay interest il
religious affairs.
Pilgrimages to shrines are good;
but more significant are the sales of
Catholic books among the people.
The building of great churches is
gratifying; but the true test of the
situation is the number of really
Christian homes in the congregation.
France led in her contributions to
foreign missions which was well; but
she had few Catholic papers, and
these of limited circulation. And the
latter fact was decisive.
Unity of faith is good; respect for
authority is good But SO, too, are
zeal and intelligence and enthusiasm
in propagating the faith.
