Show I Diocese of CTeyenne : LARAMIE. Orphanage to Be Established in City by Franciscan Sisters. Laramie, Wyo., April 7. Wyoming is to be provided during the present year and probably before the summer is fairly on, with a much needed institu- j tion in the form of an orphanage to be established at Laramie by the Franciscan Fran-ciscan Sisters. Mother Agnes, superior of the order, ' and Sister Aguinata arrived ar-rived in Laramie Saturday from Philadelphia Phila-delphia to' look over the situation. Archbishop Keane of the province of Dubuque has sent Father Cummiskey of Saint Laurence church in this city a check for $500 to form the nucleus of the fund that will be raised for the maintenance of the establishment, for which a handsome building, well adapted adapt-ed for the purpose, is already provided in Saint Joseph's hospital, erected in 1SS0 at a cost of $35,000. but for the last few years not in use. Archbishop Keane. in indorsing his check to Fa- ther Cummiskey, expressed the ardentj wish that the clergy and the people ofj Wyoming WOUIU UO an m mm j'um ; to aid in the establishment. ! In accordance with this wish the free use of the building for all time for this purpose will be given to the Franciscan Sisters. . The Sisters of Charity, who recently suffered so severely by the burning of St. Vincent orphanage, are looking to Wyoming for assistance. Sisters Ann Teresa and Veronica are in Laramie today to-day cnlling upon friends, and are meeting meet-ing with quite liberal responses to their appeal. CASPER. Father Bryant Sung the First High Mass .ever Celebrated Here. The services at the Catholic church on Easter Sunday were accompanied by unusual solemnity. In the morning at 8 o'clock, mass was said at which a large class of children received their first holy communion, and the most' disinterested dis-interested observer could not but be moved .to a spirit of awe and reverence by the impressive ceremonies. The children, clad in immaculate white, and with wreath and veil symbolizing them as spouses of Christ, presented a beautiful appearance; and the taste-ly taste-ly decorated altar with its myriad lights seemed to glow with the spirit ot the occasion. At 10:30 Father Bryant Bry-ant sung the first high mass that has ever been said in Casper, and preached a sermon on the Resurrection. The congregation received a pleasant surprise sur-prise in the first appearance of the new choir which has been organized, and which, if we can judge from the initial attempt, bids fair to be a credit not only to the Catholic church but to the town in general. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock the first communicants were invested in-vested in the scapular of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and after a, short explanation explan-ation of the meaning of this devotion, benediction of the blessed sacrament was given. All the services . were largely attended, and Father Bryant is well pleased with the good spirit which is being manifested. Xatrona. Tribune. " CHEYENNE. .- v Cheyenne, Wyo., April 7. The' twenty-seventh annua' meeting of thp Wyoming Wy-oming Cattle Growers' association was j held here today, thirty delegates being in attendance: ?The officers were reelected re-elected for another year. They follow: W. C. Irvine of Cheyenne, president; j Alexander Bowier of Chugwater, vice president;. H. G. Hay of Cheyenne, ! treasurer; Miss Alice Smith of Chey- j enne, secretary. I Purely routine business, was attend- j ed to the fixing of the roundup sched- I uled, report of the inspectors, etc. j with the exception of a resolution to I President Roosevelt requesting that the j campaign of the interior department j against public land fencers be stopped. I The reason fO the request is that the j stock of the fencers may be protected and kept from starving; that mange J and itch may not be transferred from ! one herd to another; that stock may be ! systematically fed in winter: that ' herds may be kept apart: that water i may be afforded them through winl- j mills, which is impossible if stock j roam indiscriminately over the range; j that the small ranchmen especially, ;:s. well as stock growers of larger means, j benefit their cattle, but save the expense ex-pense impossible to the poo;- and cx-tiavagant cx-tiavagant to the well-to-do; that the large area of cured grass may not be trans-pled by herds roaming at large; that for humanity's sake man may treat his dumb animals with reasonable humanity; that lie who is burdened with debt may be able to borrow on his inclosed herds, which he cannot, do when the herd is drifting over a large area of uninclosed territory; that the law of 1SS5 has never been enforced, though it was known that fencing on a large scale was being done, and stock raisers have thereby been encouraged to invest heavily in illegal fence: that the immediate removal of such fences by sweeping action of the government i will lead to the calling of innumerable loans, causing a financial panic. The resolution calls on the congressmen and the senators of the arid land stat?s to unite in the presentation of this j.e- ; tition.
