Show : Diocese of Denver I ELIZABETH KELLY, Correspondent. j The Intermountain and Colorado Catholic Js placed cn sale at the James Clarke church goods house. 647 Father McMenamin's Parish. Last Sunday. Aug:. 1, began the second sec-ond year of the pastorate of Father Huph L. McManamin at the cathedral, the largest and most responsible charge in the diocese of Denver. A brief financial finan-cial statement, which will later be prepared pre-pared in detail and distributed, was piven the congregation at the six masses in Logan Avenue chapel, showing show-ing that the financial condition of the parish was never so flourishing as ji the past twelve months. In considering consider-ing this fact it is interesting to note that the spiritual life of the parish ha kept pace with the business growth, as the .membership in all the societies attached at-tached to the cathedral mutely testifies. The financial stattment showed that the revenues of the church were about J25.000, or two and a half times what they were for the year ending July 31, 1908. The expenses were heavy on account ac-count of the building of an addition to the parochial school, but in spite of expenditures ex-penditures the church had $10,000 saved out for the cathedral fund. And this was money collected independent of the regular subscriptions to the cathedral buildinz account: monev contributed for the support of the church, parochial residence and school. With subscripaions collected through the efforts of the priests and the lay workers, the pastor was able to turn over in all $30,000 to go toward the erection erec-tion of the new church. The statement made a distinctly pleasing impression on the congregation. A call for more collectors has been sounded, as the territory ter-ritory is large and the pastor is anxious anx-ious to rapidly progress with the accu-jnula'ng accu-jnula'ng of funds to pay for the contracts con-tracts as payments fall due. The aftermath of the spiritual retreat in the diocese year after year is a change in the personnel of pastorates throughout the state. The local pastors pas-tors and assistants remain unchanged. Father Gallagher of Telluride goes to Ouray to take the pulpit vacated by Father M. W. Donovan, recently called by Bishop Matz to St. Patrick's church. Denver. Father "VVunderlich of Como is transferred to Leadville to be assistant to Father J. J. Gibbons. Father Beck-meyer, Beck-meyer, formerly assistant at the Annunciation An-nunciation church In Leadville, becomes pastor at West Cliff. Father Bruner goes to Telluride from West Cliff. Rev. Thomas Malone Returns. Father Thomas H. Malone returned to his home in Denver on last Friday after a visit of several weeks in Europe. He traveled as the guest of William G. Evans, president of the Denver City Tramway company, and revisited all of the points of interest in Ireland. England Eng-land and continental Europe. Father Malone returns more enthusiastic than ever over the beauties of Denver and with his head full of plans for better advertising ad-vertising the wonders of Colorado. It is likely that the commercial bodies of Denver will again call upon him for suggestions. Father Malone made an automobile trip through Ireland, getting, get-ting, as he says, closer to the people than he was ever able to reach on a regular tour by rail. To the Denver correspondent of the IntermountaJn i.auii.mc ne saia: ii seems to me tnat since I last saw Ireland there has been a - visible Improvement everywhere, which I have no doubt Is due to the new land laws, which give so many of the people an opportunity, always heretofore hereto-fore denied, to become landowners instead in-stead of tenants. There is not much manufacturing in the country, but there is some improvement in this respect and I have no doubt there will be still greater improvement in the near future. fu-ture. "France still goes on husbanding her resources. Her peasants are thrifty, frugal and industrious. France has always al-ways seemed to me to contain the ev-tremes ev-tremes of everything the best and the worst. The church there is rapidly fit-ling fit-ling herself to the changed condition of things. Separation of church and state will in the end prove a blessing to all. I firmly believe. At least I am told that this is so by Frenchmen who are both religious and patriotic. I know it Is a notion current in America that that combination does not exist in the makeup make-up of the Frenchman, but I consider ihat a ridiculous idea. It is recognized in Europe. I am told that the attitude of Pope Pius X is fast solving many of the difficulties of the situation in France." Wedding Bells. No marriage ever celebrated in the Immaculate Conception chapel culminated culmi-nated such a pretty romance as that which took place there on Tuesday evening of this week. Without the presence pres-ence of cither friends or relatives, Miss Mary McCauley and James Sloan were married by Father H. L. McMenamin on Tuesday. The young people came to Denver for the convention of the National Education Educa-tion society early in July, and it was then that the engagement was announced, an-nounced, creating widespread interest. Miss McCauley was a teacher of domestic do-mestic science in the Haskell Institute at Lawrence. Kan., and it was there that she and young' Sloan met. Both are Indians. They came to Denver with the Indian department of the N. E. A. and Sloan stayed on in Denver after that, while his fiancee went back to her home in Sidney. Neb., to prepare for her wedding. She arrived on Monday, hut that being a legal holiday no marriage mar-riage license could be obtained, and the wedding had to put off until Tuesdav. Both Mr. and Mrs. Sloan are striking examples of what the government has done for the Indian young people in the way of schooling. It is said that there Js no better teacher of domestic science in the country than the Indian girl who became James Sloan's bride on Tuesday. Personal. Miss Loretto Whitehouse of th cathedral ca-thedral parish and William Day of St. Joseph's parish, where Miss Whltc- ! house formerly lived, are to be married at Logan Avenue chapel on Wednesday of next week by Father H. L. McMenamin, McMena-min, the pastor. Both are well known and the wedding will be largely attended. at-tended. The third anniversary of the death of Stephen J. Sullivan was marked on Saturday Sat-urday of this week by solemn h!?h mass of requiem in Logan Avenue chapel. Father McMenamin officiated and the children's choir did the singing. Church Notes.

The lawn fete given at the parochial residence. 1S54 Grant street, on Wednesday Wed-nesday evening to promote a spirit of sociability among the members of the cathedral parish, was a tremendous social so-cial success. Incidentally, the nominal admission charge will go a long way toward to-ward repleting the treasury of the altar and rosary society, which was recently drained in a gift of $400 to the cathedral cathe-dral building fund. Tiny Japanese lanterns lan-terns were strung along the lawn and an arc light helped to make the scene one of brilliancy.

The pallium is a rectangular square of white wool embroidered with four purple crosses, which, before being conferred con-ferred on archbishops, reposes over night on the tomb of St. Peter.
