New Cathedral Assured. i Afl'T months of consideration the I building committee has decided that vurk on the proposed new cathedral fdiall be resumed, and that with modified modi-fied plans it is practicable just now to Ko ahead. The church is now in a better bet-ter financial condition than it has seen fur some years, and every hope is entertained enter-tained that should the work be taken up once more it is likely that renewed interest would meet the appeal for financial assistance. In a few days now Father Michael AV. Donovan and Father Hueh E. Mc-Menamin Mc-Menamin of tin- pro-cathedral will start on a tour of the parish to collect the subscription which were sinned lor during the time that Father M. F. Callahan Cal-lahan was making: an active canvass of the' district. . The work will take up a pood deal of time, but it is expected to ho fruitful to a decree. There is now In ihe church treasury $17.ion in cash, and (hero are six lots on Iipn avenue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth avenues, negotiations for the sale of which are now pendinff. There is hope of rcpainiiiK JlO.nno on the mining investment in-vestment amounting" to $r4.MMl made a f. w years ago, so that there is now more than enough to pay for the building build-ing of the foundat in. This work will be bosun within the next week, so that the laying of the corner-stone is a ceremony of the not very distant future. It is confidently expected that with that there will be a renewal of the enthusiasm once manifested mani-fested in the building: of the new cathedral, ca-thedral, and that the completion of the Uructure an be looked forward to. The original plans called for a build ing I'J him uri ni-rn nici sv".v"", but these have been modified to such fln extent that Jl.noo at the most will cover the entire expense. The church uill probably -ost no more than $1W.-flnn. $1W.-flnn. Jt is the intention of the building committee to pay for the work as it is ,, done, so that there will be no mortgage dragging on for years, disheartening the congregation, so that when the clahedral is oi"-e completed it will be free of all in France. The difference in the plan ,:- 'ittle more than in Die matter .: sx the architectural loveliness of '' iginal design being preserved ir :. i. ! The excavation was prepared moi th-sn two years ago. and the foundation i'l be put in without further delay. The laying of the -or-ner-stone wil' lie one of the most elaborate elab-orate cereiroi.jes ever held in Denver, church dignitaries from outside dioceses dio-ceses coming- to Denver for the occasion. occa-sion. Considering" that the work is to be resumed, it ?s thought that the congregation congre-gation will donate liberally, and that the long planned new cathedral will soon be a reality. I Archbishop Visits Denver. Denver had a distinguished visitor last week in the person of Archbishop Bouregarde of Santa Fe. who stopped off here for a brief visit on his way to Chicago. Many of the city priests took occasion to call upon him at the episcopal epis-copal residence, where he stayed while here. Archbishop Rojregarde is looking exceptionally ex-ceptionally well, and reports his charge in a flourishing condition. He was on his way to spend a few weeks with Rev. Father A. E. Kelley. pastor of St. V-C.lia's V-C.lia's church. Chicago. The two men are old friends are both interested in . . the line of missionary work which j comes up in the archdiocese, especially among the Indians and negroes. The I archbishop brought a message from I Kishop Pitaval, his coadjutor, to the I priests of this diocese with whom he I formerly labored. 1 Father Phillips Absent. I East Sunday nigh; Uev. JVrcy A.
