I Knights of Columbus Memorial Serv- I ices Last Sunday. I (Special Correspondence.) 1 A tribute to the memory of the mem- I licrs of council Kniphtis of Coium- I bus, who have died since the orpaniza- I tion of the Denver branch of the order, I was-, paid on Sunday eveninp when the J friends of the council "to the number I of over 600 pathered in Fraternal Union ihall, at Champa street, to participate partici-pate in memorial exercises. This is the first time the Denver Knights of Columbus have held such in service, and it was wonderfully impressive. im-pressive. Three members of the order liavedied Finee its establishment in this city, and while the programme a3 originally planned included but two dweased brnt hers, the third liassed I away just two daye before the date set for the services. Fraternal Fnion hall was packed to i;s doors -with the loving: friends of the dead members who had come to ; pay their reppeets and listen to their eulopies as pronounced by those who knew them fraternally. The service was very similar to the annual memorial memo-rial exercises held by the Elks and which have become famous, tin oughcul the country for their impressivenes. In addition to thi? there was a deep touch of religion, which added to the beauty of the programme. Fraternal Union hail, with its walls decorated in the American flag, was draped again in black and the mourning mourn-ing streamers entwined with the red. white and blue. Every scat was taken long before the hour set for the service and many were obliged to stand. The 1fad who were remembered were Dr. ; James A. Finnerty. James E. Hurke and Joseph Krigbaum. The eulogies v'ii mi.- inift- iin'u cn imeippersea wi;h addresses of another character, ;md music was furnished by members of the different choirs of the city. The singers were Mrs. Kessie Fox Davis of St. Leo's choir. Miss Jos-ephine Woe- Iber and Mrs. S. G. Robbing ot St. 3-:iiza.loth's choir, and Mr. Charles Nast and Mr. Edward E. McFadden of St. 3-;ii7.abeth"s. Miss Cla.-i YVoober, c.r- panist at St. Elizabeth's church, pre- iffdori at the organ Sunday evening. ;ind she was further assisted by Ca-v Ca-v ello's orchestra. Addresses were made by John 11. Reddin. Joseph EafYVrty. John D. Rogers, Herbert Fairall and' George Postal. After the routine matters, including roll call. George Postal, acting Grand Knipht, made the opening address. Mr. Reddin's address, which was made early in the evening, was 011 the subject sub-ject of "Catholicity and Science." He called the Catholic church the church of science, and throughout his discourse dis-course dwelt on the connection between be-tween the church and science. Mr, Roddin's address was truly an -'r.tcl-lectual treat. The programme as arranged ar-ranged was as follows: Orchestra, "Andante Religiose".... Thome Call to order.. . : Daniel B. Carey, G. K. 1.

Juvenile Improvement Society. In "all. or- tbe Catholic? churches of the city 011 Sunday the announcement was made that two benefit performances perform-ances will be given on Saturday, April 30. foi'Tthe new Juvenile Improvement 1 society. The 'organization has been founded by representative men and wemen of the city to assist in the work I of the juvenile court. Denver's court, since Judge Ben B. Lindsey has been i:i power, has attracted wide attention atten-tion by what it has accomplished among the boys, and the philanthropy 1 which has prompted the giving of the j two entertainments on Saturday is non- sectarian and deemed thoroughly worthy. wor-thy. One of the moving spirits of the new organization is Mrs. James J. Brown, of 1340 Pennsylvania avenue, who is prominent in the cathedral parish. par-ish. It is expected that the Catholics of the city, as well as charitably inclined in-clined people in general, will lend their aid toward making- the benefit a success. To Furnish a Club Room. On Friday evening. May 13. a dance will.be given in Lower Howe hall on California street, under the auspices of the Young Men's society of the cathedral ca-thedral parish, for the purpose of raising rais-ing money to furnish the club rooms. A pool table has been installed and it is to pay for this that the dance will be given. A number of tickets have already been sold, and this, the initial effort of the society, will beyond be-yond a doubt; be -a success. Death o Joseph Xrigbaum. Much sorrow is felt over-the sudden death of Joseph Krigbaum, a young man of 21 years, who succumbed to an attack of gastritis at St. Anthonv's hospital last week. Mr. Krigbaum was popular in Catholic society and was identified with almost everv church organization He will be greatly missed. He was a young man o'f marked intellectuality and was in 1 U!d1 i me &ouui Denver branch of the Daniels' bank, a position of no little responsibility for a man of his years. The funeral took place from the Church of the Annunciation. The Intermountain Catholic extends sympathy sym-pathy to the sorrowing relatives of the young man. Religious and Personal. Rev.

V ine buildins- m tf .....i' . 01 about loO children. Soon It was KS "esCeS-Ty 10 en,ar the institution insti-tution as orphans were brought in at times, in no small number. We re'cal nrS", " Whkh -tVhilJre! or one family came, the parents of JrsamT 'I1116 T bei" both.buried the same day. Of another family there -were seven children, whose nar-ll nar-ll died living them homeless . P ,n Whkh was made !n 1SS5 fZi f0ra ,eneth of time all purposes needed. However, the want' of more extensive accommodations was real-1 ized as time passed on, and a complete I enlargement to the orphanage was made about seven years ago, consisting consist-ing of a splendid chapel, a number of dormitories, refectories and a nursery. It seemed then all was complete. The 1 inmates of St. Vincent's enjoyed the necessary conveniences. ! On the 15th of March. 10n2, a fire broke out, reducing to' a pile of smol- ' dering ruins the beautiful home. In- 1 deed, this seemed a dark hour, a time 1 of trial. We have no doubt" at this period the Sisters frequently recalled one of the many holy lessons of Saint Vincent, viz.: "When everything appears ap-pears to be lost, place more firmly than ever your trust in God." This unfailing confidence, this beacon light scattered all gloom; and encouraged bv the sympathy of the manv noble friends of the institution, together with their prompt and generous aid, every cloud of sorrow was dispelled. This beautiful structure sprang up, a rapid growth, from the roots of the burned tree. The vivifying waters causing the wondrous outcome flowed from the living source of Charity the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Truly the good people of this city and state can, with a, holy pride, view the result of their charitable contributions toward this home. At the present time there are, sixty-six children here, for whose support sup-port nothing at all isxpaid, and the compensation made for many others is scarcely worth mentioning. It is easy to understand that much depends upon ! our good people, and happy am I " to say that the charity ever dwelling in their hearts will prompt them to continue con-tinue the support of God's little ones, thus securing for themselves rewards eternal. CATHOLIC PARISH LIBRARIES. A Plan to Educate the Child and Broaded the Mind of the Adult. -V Salida, Colo.. April 25. We have a small Catholic community in our little town of Salida. It is not able to support a Sisters' school and we send our children to the public sr-hooi, which is a very good one, and! some of our children, like all other children, take to reading the cheap' novel as soon as they accitiire edncti.-, , enough to do so. These books are not written for the education of the young mind, but for the money they bring the publisher. They are of the poorest kind of fiction, and lead more than one young mind est ray, instead of giving it a higher thought of life than if has already obtained. The cheap novel, upually creates a desire- in the young to imitate some .of the wild, romantic and false heroes. The child is net to blame, Tor it has not had experience enough in. hfe to know that they are waiting" their time and filling their brain with a lot of rubbish that thev will haVe to" iZT -nf?'.uhey tan ,ear something that will do them good in after years There are some of our young men and ' v omen who read th? novel, and at the same time could not .tell you anything about our saint.-, .and could not my Whether, St. Ptarick was a Dutchma or a Frenchman from Cork UUtChmai tJ-ho women' TbSt Z ITT would furnish g,K?d fading" or tnl J.-ung, and old .folks, too. and the he-' roes in there books are good ones to imitate, and there is no danger of going astray if we do imitate them. So why not have a: Catholic library attached: at-tached: to our Sunday school..' It: may not be a costly one, but let us have one. Of course, in a larger or richer community they can have a better one than we can, but we can start a small one, and in a few years it will have grown larger. I believe we can Se a subscription of 25 cents or 50 cents per member of the church and turn the money over to the priest, who would ' gladly help us in our good work, if we will only help ourselves. The trouble is we want the priest to do to it all, but in this work it will take all of us to make it a success-. The prieft wil'. purchase the best books that he can j get for the money, and we will have a work started that wil.Hive many years after we are gone. If we can only get a few books to start with, we can add to them by a monthly collection of 10 cents of 23 cents dues. It is not like giving away 25 cents. Tou have only invested the money in books, and you can go to your library and get a book each month that would cost you a dol- ; lar at the book store, and it may be a book that would cost $5, all for 25 cents per month. The library will not go to decay; it will grow larger each year, and before you know it will have a collection col-lection of the best books in the world, for we have the best writers right in our own church: and after our young folks, and the old ones, too. have read all of the books in our libary they will be too wise to read the cheap novel, and they will know that the 25 cents they spent in starting the library was the best investment they ever made. I know that our good priest would take a hand in this work and help us along. A little help from each Catholic Will make a good library, and the first book you read will repay you for your money and trouble. Return the book to the library and get another, where, if you had bought a cheap book you would throw it away, or if you kept it. you could not get another for it in exchange ex-change at the book ptore. So. why not have a lot of good books that you can go and get for less than you pay for a poor book at the store. I believe a library club could be con- ducted on a social line in some places 1 (which would bring our Catholics together to-gether more than they are now. Say that a few of our young folks would have a library meeting at one of their homes once a week, or once a month, and entertain those who belong to the club, and invite a few who do not belong be-long to the club. This will encourage them to join after they have found out what a pleasant evening your folks had. They will want to get a hand in the work and will help you along with the cause. I do not know of a grander field than this to work in for our young ladies. It would furnish at least one or two evenings of good entertainment each month for their brother, or some other girl's brother, or even a friend, who otherwise would spend the evening, on the street or somewhere elf? where. he would not hear nor learn near so much good as he would at the reading club. I believe that the good derived from this kind of entertainment would even be more than we would expect. Our young men and women would get acquainted ac-quainted at these clubs. Yes. and some of them would choose a life partner from the club, instead of mix-marrying, which has caused so much trouble and lost lots of good members from the church. If this work should happen hap-pen to be taken un in a laree commu nity, and there was not room in the home to entertain them, why then there would be enough to rent a room somewhere some-where that would be large enough to accommodate them, but for a small community I prefer the home, for that is the best place on earth to spend a pleasant evening, and any mother or father would gladly give at least one or two, nights in the month to entertain enter-tain their son or daughter. While I realize this is a very crude outline of such a movement, I think it might be the cause of a more fertile brain taking it up and making it a success, suc-cess, D. H. GUERIN. LEADVILLE, COLO. With simple services in the Church of the Annunciation, a few simple flowers upon her casket, mourned only by her husband a few friends, there was buried bur-ied in Leadville last week a cousin of the late Queen Victoria of England, and a cousin, thrice removed, of King Edward Ed-ward VII. The dead woman was Ste-' phanie. Baroness Di Gallotti di Napoli and was known here as Mrs. Charles H. Tanner, wife of Charles H. Tanner of 510 West Tenth street. Leadville. . j In 187R, some years after her husband's hus-band's death, the baroness married 1 Charles H. Tanner, an attorney of Denver, Den-ver, and the following year came to Leadville. They have resided here since. . The baroness was at one time possessed pos-sessed of considerable fortune, but this was consumed by successive misfortunes, misfor-tunes, and her closing years were pathetically pa-thetically barren of luxuries and some-Limes some-Limes even of necessities. |
