The processionals, in which the I ,,-if.sts were accompanied by nfty boys J,i hite vestments, were beautifully E , v'.-uied and with the illumination of i i j ,. altar and the txquisite music the I , ;(-.. -t was superb and edifying to all ...i.c't-ned. w II o'clock the priests of the i ,.rjj!h headed by Father De Siere and I j is assistants marched down the center I , !-!.' accompanied by the long line of !.. .s in white, and escorted the visit- mission priests to the altar. Inside f i ta' altar rail was a striking and most i j j nisine spectacje. A black cross ! ei:ty feet high draped with a white t.-i.iid was in the center of a stand ,.--.d with red cloth. From this ) j i , n .1 the visiting fathers will preach ' i ; irinis sermons during the three -,-.-i-ks of the continuance of the mis-j mis-j si. m services. T- rendering of Webber's mass in . 5 ; by 'he choir was very fine and add- -i pi-eatly to the beauty and impress-iv-ness of the services. A'ter the altar was reached the mis- fi.n was formally inaugurated by ; YUihr I)e Siere. who in a fervent man- j iki welcomed the visiting priests to .. Butte. The speaker expressed the wel- K cnnie of the parish and congregation find the members of the local priest-i. priest-i. .ri. There was an expression of the j utmost confidence that under the earn- s and pious administrations of the j d-vnut visitors many of the people of f this city will soon be safe on the road w salvation- The visitors were'wel- i ,-inn d to Butte for the noble work tr j which they had devoted their lives.

In part the speaker said: "Beloved biethi-oii and sisters in the faith, yon j sp before you a great tilack cross draped with a white shroud, and you have seen ushered into this sanctuary strange priests. You naturally ask. j what do these things mean? The cross j is the emblem that is sacred to our l'i-ssd lyord, who came to -earth to I wvp fallen man from eternal damna-I damna-I inn. and the white shroud is to remind mi of the purity of heart that .will be J -nur rich inheritance if you are truly It-voted and penitent during this holy j nission season. It is a time of extra- ! riiinary grace to the people. God is h'.hvs near us. but at times he shows ii'p.'ial love for his people. Such a ! iime is the holy mission season for a ' parish. It is a time of retreat and re faction upon the teachings of our holy i 1'liKion. "In this world that is so full of 1 things that take men away from spirit-l spirit-l i.al walks and thoughts it is most es- s-iuial for our souls that we should a! times devote ourselves to spiritual J retreats. I hope and pray that this j retreat will tiring extraordinary grace m the souls and hearts of all of you. : The mission fathers come to you at the solicitation of your zealous pastor and i by the direction of our superiors as j by an order from flod. The object is ; enrmng to you is to oner salvation an.i s to iio the will of the blessed master ? us he directed when he was on earth." i in a moving manner the speaker por- irayed the benefits that would flow ? fvom the mission services if the peo- )!n would do their part by attending ; fiil "f them, and giving prayerful heed j tn the admonitions and instructions S nv,i casting aside all besetting sins during the holy mission season. "We come not to condemn." said the I Fp'-aker. -'hut to assure all that no mat- ! I't- how deep their souls are steeped they can be saved now and for- i ' ? if they do penance and repent, t S' i f may say that they have no time I for su,-h retreat and pious devotion, but v .nif day yu will all be forced to c ia'a. t;me and die. and while living you I s'i"Uld take the time to prepare for I fi' -'Ui and eternity."

The division of ttf city into parishes, he argues, would Ift'or satisfy the demands 'upon the rroinij constituency. It was, there-dfcided there-dfcided to build Sacred Heart ' bv.-ch. which it was thought would fJ 'ly the demands for the time: but it lias already teen demonstrated that oven this houce. which in its present "edition seats as many as it will when completed, pot enough. There must be tili another church. Airon; the probabilities in Catholic circles in Butte is the establishment of M other parish: probably 'in Meader-vil'o Meader-vil'o or at a "point betw ene the Sacred Heart edifice and Mcadervilie. Still another ohurch is possible on the w st side. St. Patrick's is not one-half largp ennus-h to accommodate all who desirn to attend from the west side. The Catholic denomination in Butte laree and ernwinr- and ertpnoi'-o I church building is being contemplated by the Catholics of this city. Michael J.

The first prize for gentlemen was an "Oom Paul" cigar holder: the booby a drum, with the inscription, "This is all you can beat." It is wonderful the strides the Y. L. I. has been taking during the last few-weeks. few-weeks. Six new members were initiated in-itiated last week, and applications are simply pouring in. Their delightful parties and the enthusiasm displayed j by the members in getting up novel entertainments en-tertainments show that they have shaken off all apathy. Recently the St. Lawrence and Never Sweat mines of the Anaconda company, com-pany, which were closed during a large portion of the winter, have been again opened. While the mines were opened for work two or three weeks ago the resumption is a slow process, at first only a few men being employed, the force being increased little by little. The number of miners has been in- creased so that now large forces are I employed at both mines. At the Never Sweat 212 non are.employed and at the St. Lawrence 279. This is in addition to the working force of Butte miners which is quickly and frequently felt in business circles. HELENA. W. W.

Ih Mill creek dairyman, dairy-man, has returned from a trip to Ire-, land, where he has been on a visit since the 10th of last December. This was Mr. Callan's first trip to the old coyji-trv coyji-trv since lfaving there twenty years ago. and he describes many changes; ami improvements as having taken place during that time. j uft which unaer me muiuj - - gives the counties the control of local 1 taxation, much improvement has taken I place. The work of fostering infant m-i m-i dustries and agriculture has been undertaken un-dertaken bv the county governments. and has met with very encouraging re- , 1 suits. . ' Ttf re is a strong feeling against Enelar.d by the people, who want the ! government to compel the landlords to i sell out to their tenants. At the late election held In County Down the loyalist candidate was defeated de-feated by the candidate advocating compulsory purchase, which is the first time in two centuries that a loyalist candidate has ever been defeated in the county in ouestion. This fact- is thought to be significant as indicating that greater power and a larger share in the affairs of government are coming com-ing to be exercised by the people. Among other, things.- Mr. Callan, brought back with him three goldfinches. gold-finches. The birds are native of Ire-hand. Ire-hand. Jr jrood sinters and can b , . ... ' ST.

They are called "waterpackers" in the old country, coun-try, from the fact that they can lie taught to carry water in a thimble or i other small vfss:-!. The birds are about the size of a canary, and are very pretty. They are bright and lively, and Mr. Callan believes be-lieves that they will thrive in Montana, though the climate is very different from that of their native land.

The building is to be three stories high and 90x115 feet on the ground. -ji The programme of the exercises to be held on the evening of St. Patrick's day at A. O. H. hall will soon be ready to be announced. Preparations for the observance of the day have been going cn for more than a month and tbe occasion oc-casion will be a memorable one in Anaconda. Ana-conda. Besides a large parade in the morning there will be literary exercises at A. O. H. hall in the evening and a ball at Turner hall. As already announced, the members I of the two A. O. H. organizations in Anaconda will attend church in a body on the morning of the 17th. Most of the important details of the parade have already been arranged. It is thought that the line of march will also have been decided upon before tho close of the week. The anniversary of Robert Emmet's birthday was appropriately observed in Anaconda. Owing to the extensive preparations heing made for the ob-lservar.ee ob-lservar.ee of St. Patrick's day in Anaconda Ana-conda this year the arrangements made for Emmet's birthday were of necessity neces-sity somewhat less elaborately planned than usual. The feature of the exercises were a debate between certain members of the Phil Sheridan debating society of Anaconda Ana-conda and the Emmet club of Butte. The exercises were held In the A. O. H. hall and were not public. A banquet concluded the event. GRANITE. The Granite parishioners of Father Aken are planning to relieve him of the necessity of walking up to the hill city and back on the Sundays on which mass is celebrated there. The walking at times, especially during the spring months, is not pleasant exercise, so his J l..KKin-r toirotVlMI-l Viraniie u ienun n i c t " l"t-o -- to buy him a horse and buggy with the appurtenances thereto. The movement will probably take shape in a week or two. Father Aken is deservedly the most popular pastor in Thilipsburg and his friends will not envy him his good luck. Call. ' DEER LODGE.
