Show 1 Diocese of Relena. ' HELENA. Religious Intelligence Tribute to Utah's Home For Miners. (Special Correspondence.) Sunday the feast of the Immaculate ': (inception, the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin will receive holy communion in ; n body. The sodality is in a flourish- lug condition, and includes nearly all the young Catholic girls of Helena. The Sacred Heart devotions on tlie J first Friday of the month are always veil attended. The favors obtained I through this devotion to the Sacred - lb art are almost innumerable. Be- l J hides the great spiritual favors ob- tained many temporal ones have also I been granted. 1 Among the visitors to Helena as the ' , 1 puepts of Bishop Brondel the past ", week wore: Rev. Father Yer Ma at, f I.ewiston: Kev. Father Pauwelyn, Great Falls; Kev. Father Aken, Phil-5 Phil-5 ipsburg, and Kev. Father O'Farrell, i Xownsend. Father O'Farrell is holding services ; this winter in the new church at Townsend. It is a. fine building, almost al-most completed. The formal dedicatory dedica-tory 'services will lake place next Hiring. Services had to be conducted in a large hall prior to the erection of the new church. Father Pauwelyn spent Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing in Helena, and celebrated high : mass at the cathedral at 10:30. Hi: was assisted by Kev. Father Day. deacon; Kev. Father Sullivan, sub-j sub-j deacon. A large crowd attended high f' mass. Bishop Brondel preached the sermon and reminded the faithful of the many great blessings they had re ceived the past year for which thanksgiving thanks-giving could be truly made. Kev. Father Barry spent several days, including Thanksgiving, at Croat ) Falls with his old college mate, Kev. ! Father McCormiok. i Thanksgiving day was duly cele- I lrated at the Orphans' h.nne. Father ! Day celebrated mass in the morning find the children had a good Thanksgiving Thanks-giving dinner. Several days before Thanksgiving one of the small boys ihought it would come on Friday this year. He was very much relieved when the sister told him it would be on Thursday, and he could have his long-looked-for turkey. 1 The miners of Montana can con- ratulate the miners of Utah on the j grand acknowledgment of their valua-. He services by the noble and generous , n i ft given to . the state by Mrs. Mary I Judge of Salt Lake, through Right Rev. I Jlishop Scanlan. The means to build it for them a home and hospital is given in charity as a memorial to her deceased husband. What miner in any state of the Union but would lay aside " his pick or drill for a moment, as he wipes the perspiration from his brow. ; and in deep thanksgiving from a warm and honest heart repeat, "Cod bless such an act." "We will toil more willingly will-ingly and dig deeper into the heart of the "earth to extrac t the shining metal to assist in the furtherance of such a worthy cause." "Someone appreciates i our efforts and instead of spending our ' declining years In a hermit's hut on the mountain side far from friends and shut off from the world, we will enjoy en-joy the blessings of a good and comfortable com-fortable home, freedom from care for what is essential for life-giving proper- ties, and a roof to shelter us in need." Montana, with all her mineral re- S sources and boundless wealth, has not advanced one step ti.vard preparing ij even a temporary resting place on the i hillside for "her faithful sons who take V their lives in their hands when ex- L- trading the glittering gold from the leep recesses of the mountains. Dis- f ability sometimes follows accidents in ; 1 the mines, arul what a consoling I thought for the miner to know there is within his reach a place he can call , ' borne and be provided with skillful . V doetors and necessary attention. Pro- I , viding a home for an honest man, who f lias spent his life in bettering in a ma- ? terial way, thousands of others and ' surrounding them with the ease and luxury the possession of wealth brings. 1 is only a recompense justly merited. Very few have thought of the neces-1 neces-1 sity of it. and how many have time to even cast a thought on those laboring ; for others' comfort. Utah is taking the i lead in providing for the homeless and ? aged. It is the ardent wish of the writer that many such noble acts of ' true charity will be prompted by the 1 grand example shown by this generous "i donor. The fair for the benefit of St. John's ! i hospital will open at the auditorium ' " on Wednesday evening, Dec: 11. All ; the committees in charge of the va- 1 rious departments are working hard to make the fair a success. An elegant J display of handsome articles, many I hand made, as well as many articles " of furniture and clothing, have been specially made and donated. A fine I musical programme will be rendered ; each evening by the very best talent i of th city. A number of the articles ' donated are on exhibition at the vari- cms stores. The last meeting before the if lair commences will be held Sunday ! evening at St. John's hospital after i : ( vening services. An enthusiastic ; meeting of those interested took place l ist Sunday evening, and all seem to be petting tight down to work. j BUTTE CITY. I i Father Gueymard of All Hallows j Marcus Daly Monument. ' Kev. Father Caspard Gueymard of the faculty of All Hallows college of Sa't Lake City has been in the city for :. few days, the guest of KeV. Father I Ca lahan of the Sacred Heart church, s Father Gueymard pleached Sunday ? eight before a large congregation .in lh" church, taking for the subject of f his discussion the advent of Christ- l.i mastide. He spoke of the beautiful spirit of the times preceding Christ- jf leas. f the good fellowship ihat ought to prevail at this season, and how the fj atuntion ought to be turned to the I tilings spiritual, when the hand of lo i ! f and cheer should be extended in a spiric I ' friendship, when a feast ot peace : and good will should be the leading thought in the minds of all. He dis-: dis-: , coursed on the period as described in 1 the Scriptures from the time of the fall I of Adam up to the time of "hrist "n earth, using the recurring changes of i that period and the various phases of time as the base of his argument to I prove that it is the spi lit of Jesus fhtist.and the message He brought to J earth that guide men nil to better ! things. Father Gueymard left for Salt Lake mi Monday. 1 The fund for the erection of a suit- able monument to the late Marcus Daly j Ti has received a very encouraging start. I The Standard publishes a list of names j that will attract attention and it also is a record of contributions extremely c gratifying in that the list is very largely large-ly representative of miners who knew Mr. Daly or who were long in the em-: em-: ploy of one or another of the compa-I compa-I nies of which he was the manager. At l ih'- same time, the list is generously I Representative in a large way of Butte's j great body of miners, many of the sub-I sub-I vribers being men engaged in proper ties that were not under Mr. Daly's ; charge. v i 'J he place where the bronze statue will be erected has not been decided j upon as yet, but it is very likely to be ! in this city or Anaconda. The commit- j tee having this matter in charge has not yet reported. The statue will be heroic size, probably seven feet high, and will be a lifelike likeness of Marcus Mar-cus Daly. Pat Mullins sold out his Park street store to a company known as the Crescent Cres-cent Grocery company. Mr. Mullins is one of the oldet as well as one of the i most successful business men in thi.s 1 country. For many years he conducted business ventures in Centerville, where he made an independent fortune. Three years ago last April he started the gro- i ct ry and meat market at 110 West Park stieet and in a short time the success which had been his in Centerville was duplicated in Butte. Mr. Mullins will devote his time to mining. Kev. Father Batens visited Kev. Father Fa-ther Blair of Miles City for a few days. Miss Mary A. Cruse of Helena is visiting vis-iting friends in Butte. Mrs. John A. Ryan, wife of the foreman fore-man of the Silver Bow mine, died after a long illness. She was 2S years old. The body, accomyanied by her hus-' hus-' band, was taken to her old home in i Dover, X. J., where her mother and sister reside. Mr. Ryan, the husband, is well known in Butte, having been for five years foreman of the Silver Bow mine. ANACONDA. Mrs. Alleda Nadeau, for several years a well known resident of Anaconda, died at her house, 1.012 East Sixth street, after an illness of only a few-days. few-days. Miss Nadeau was born in Fulda, Murray county, Minn. Six years ago she came to Anaconda and for several years attended the high school in this city. The fact that she was but 19 years old at the time of her death makes the sincere regret at her death all the more keenly felt. She was one of the most popular young ladies in the city, and numbered her friends by the hundreds. MISSOULA. ' The funeral of Mrs. Charles F. Dahl-man Dahl-man was held Sunday afternoon from the Church of St. Xavier, Kev. Father Palladino officiating. A large number of friends accompanied the body from the residence in the Orchard home addition to the church and scores of i others were wait'ng at th church. The j services were impressive, and the re- i marks of the priest were full of tender pathos. Mrs. Dahlman had many friends. She lived here all her life and was loved by all who knew her. Her husband has a wide circle of friends whose sympathy sym-pathy he has. |
