Father Magevney Called Heme, j Denver was shocked last week to I loam by telegraph of the death of Rev. f Father Hugh L. Magevney, formerly I of this city. Father Magevney died at I " Cincinnati, where for three years he I 3iad been an invalid. Sickness had I ! forced his retirement from the pulpit, - 1 and the world had sorrowed. I Ten years ago Father Magevney left I Denver for Cincinnati. He had been a j professor at the College of the Sacred I Heart here, ajid was accustomed to 1 preach on Sundays at the Sacred Heart I , church in East Denver, where people I from all parts of the city flocked to I , . hear him. He was a wonderful orator. !nnd possessed a command of English which was stirring. I Father Magevney was born in Jack- I i sonville, Tenn., in 1845. and through the I civil war was a soldier in the confed- i rate army. At the close of that con flict he entered St. Louis university and completed his studies there, going later to Florissant college. In 1876 he was ordained at Cincinnati by Archbishop Arch-bishop PurcelL and his first, work was 5one there. He was transferred to New York and then to Washington, annually earning new laurels. Columbus, Colum-bus, O.; Little Rock, Ark., and then Denver were his next posts of duty. At the time he was forced to retire from active work Father Magevney enjoyed ! a national reputation as a lecturer and I puipil oraior. jiip uroiuer, xtev. r,u- f , gene A. Magevney, is president of I Oreighton university at Omaha. An- l other brother is John Magevney of I Memphis, Tenn. I Father Magevney is still distinctly I remembered in Denver, where some of j h!s best work was done, and the news 1 of his death was the occasion of cn- i! f-'drable sorrow. 1 Sacred Heart, College Medal Contest. I The annual prize contest in elocu- I lion for the Nichols' geld medal was 1 held in the auditorium of the College I of the Sacred Heart last Sunday after- f noon, where an interested audience I gathered in anticipation of a genuine I treat. These contests are always in- teresting affairs, and this year's pro- gram was no exception. This year only r the senior competition was held. In I this Joseph M. Mendoza and Raymond E. Moles tied for first honors, the f Judges being unable to agree on a I choice. Second place went to Arthur A. Sexton, and third place to John J. J ' Cunningham and Robert Tobln Hall. The judges -were M. C. Harrington. William E. Foley and Dr. Miller E. I Preston. As usual, the musical selec- j ' tions were a, feature of the afternoon.

May SI, inaugurates a i two weekff mission at the Immaculate j I Conception cathedral chapel, which will I undoubtedly be an unprecedented suc- ess by reason of the long period of I rrepa ration during which public prayer I has been offered that the mission will I be fruitful of good. It is the first mis- I Bion the cathedral has enjoyed In over two years, and will be conducted by the 1 Vincentian Fathers. Fathers Nugent I and Shaw are the missionaries. The I first week of the mission will be.de- $ voted to the women, and the second J week to the men. This arrangement is made because the chapel will not ac- s commodate the throng which would as- i-riuuic iwKiiwi were me exercises open I to the entire congregation, j The mission wirt open at high mass; I on next Sunday at 11 o'clock, and on I that evening there will be Rosary, ser- I I in on and benediction. Through the I week the first mass will be at 5 o'clock. and the second at 8 o'clock. A good indication of the success of a mission I is the attendance at the early morning I mass. A twenty minutes instruction . will be given after this early morning I. mass. At the 8 o'clock mass a half- hour sermon will be preached. At S o'clo'ck every afternoon except Monday, Tuesday f,nd Wednesday of the second ; week, there will be Stations of the f . Cross, and every evening during the ; two weeks Rosary, sermon and bene- ifiic-tion will comprise the exercises. Beginning with Tuesday, June 2, there will be confessions every day for the balance of the mission time, except Sundays and Mondays. From 5 until 7 a. m.: from 8 until 12 noon; from 3 to 6 p. b., and from 7:30 until 10 at night the priests will be in the confespionals.
