Cola ' Knights of Columbus Building. For the latter part of November, Den- j vcr council 539, Knights of Columbus, V? is making elaborate plans for a three ? days' festival to celebrate the comple- tion of the new Knights of Columbus building at Fourteenth and Glenarm - streets. The .new civic center plan will bring the handsome building close to the chain of public buildings which will be in an immense park, and this is a source of pleasure to the knights. The committee which is arranging the program for the formal opening is composed com-posed of Dr. Edward Delehanty, Her- bert Fairall. Judge J. J. McFeely, Pat-y Pat-y rick R. Riordan and John Dorsey. j The first day will be for the exclusive enjoyment of the members of the order j which erected the building. There will probably be a smoker or other form of I j( entertainment that appeals to the mem- 0 bcrs. On the second day the state, city I f and count- officials will be fhe guests of council 533, and the priests and mln- n isters of the city will be invited to par- 3 ticipate in the festivities. On the even- e ins of the third day a grand ball will 1 be In order. This will be about the time for the regular dance of the knights, so it will be combined with the house- 'm warming exercises. The building is not only handsome in its exterior, but it is beautifully finished fin-ished and arranged so as to insure the greatest degree of comfort to the council coun-cil members. From the rent of offices and a splendid hall, Denver council ex-jects ex-jects to be able to maintain the build-1: build-1: Jng and gradually redeem the bonds that were sold to make its erection pos-h pos-h si bio. i: - Columbus Day. u Because of the elaborate arrange- w ments under way for the Knights of Columbus house-warming no special Columbus day program was carried out . this year. The Denver council took ' cognizance of the 417th anniversary of the discovery of America at the regular meeting Friday night, Oct. S. Thomas Morrow delivered an address on "The t Character of Columbus," and a mu- Fical program was furnished by Thomas . Collins, George Kerwin, Walter Ker- . win and Joseph L. Schreiber. j', Denver Italians had a celebration on Discovery day, but the most interesting (Observance of the holiday was at Trin-'f Trin-'f ' idad, where Governor John F. Shaf roth attended the exercises. Senator Casi-t Casi-t mero Barela was one of the speakers at Trinidad. ' There is talk now of erecting a raon- h ument.to Christopher Columbus in Denver. From the fact that Colorado p. willingly set aside the- anniversary of Columbus' discovery of America as a legal holiday, the Italian people hope n for a favorahle action on their plan to ' erect the Columbus monument by popu- j A lar subscription. A site in or near the r proposed civic center will be selected ' for the monument. Greeley Church Dedicated. A number of Denver people who are n interested in the good work Father An drew B. Casey is doing at Greeley, went o UP for the opening of his new church A lrst Sunday.

J., of the r College of the Sacred Heart in Denver, 1 praeched, and at the solemn high mass j,- at 111 o'clock the sermon was by Fa- v ther II. L. McMenamin, pastor of the cathedral at Denver. In the evening d. Father Agatho, O. S. B., of Boulder, de- 1 oi livered the sermon. a St- Peter's will be ready for dedica tion by January, 1910, which considering that the corner-stone was not laid until j June of this year, shows how rapidly the work has been pushed ahead.
