Apostleship of Prayer for the month of Xoveniber, were exploited by Ilev. H. L. McMenamin in a sermon at Ixgan Avenue chapel last Friday evening. It was in connection with the First Friday Fri-day devotions of the League, of the Sacred Heart. j f- I About r00 people assembled at Mount Olivet cemetery last Sunday to partiei- pate in the services for the dead whose j beidies repose there. The procession of priests chanting the litany was an" im- i posing spectacle. After the blessing ! of graves. Ilev. Hugh L. McMenamin, j of the cathedral, began his sermon, j drawing his text from the life of the late Bishop Joseph Machebeuf, "Apostle "Apos-tle of the Rockies." beside whose grave he stood. Despite the cold, damp day, the throng was larger than usual on such occasions. j On account of the Memorial services at Mount Olivet cemetery last Sunday there was' no Sunday school in the pro-cathedral. pro-cathedral.

The statement of Dr. Charles O Reilly made at Detroit on Friday of last week, to the effect that there is a secret movement on foot to disrupt the Catholic Catho-lic Mutual Benefit association, is vigorously vig-orously denied by members of the local branches, who declare that a return to the old assessment plan instead of the graded rate recently adopted is not practicable. The society is steadily growing in membership and the members mem-bers feel a keen interest in its management. manage-ment. A new degree is to be exemplified exempli-fied here on the night of Monday, Xov. 27. Mrs. Delaney Dangerously III. j Mrs. Michael A. Delaney. wife of j Chief of Police Delaney. is dangcrously ill at St. Anthony's hospital, and little hope is entertained for her recovery.

The free hospital service for em-ployes em-ployes of the Union Pacific, railroad, 1 which was discontinued a few years ago. has been resumed, but instead of building a hospital of its own the railway rail-way has renteel a wing of Mercy sanitarium sani-tarium for the use of its sick and in-lured. in-lured. A large staff of physicians has been employed by the X'nion Pacific, and the best medical aid possible will be furnished. The hospital fund is maintained by contributions of 50 cents a. month from each person working for the. road, and the benefits resulting therefrom are highly appreciated by the employes and their families. That the Union Pacific has given the charge of its sick into the hands of the' Sisters Sis-ters of Mercy is a flattering tribute to their efficiency as nurses. ' j |
