Show FATHER KAUTEN'S JUBILEE. Very Rev. Emil Kauten of Spokane, Wash., celebrated his silver jubilee on the 13th and 14th insts. A public reception recep-tion was tendered Father Kauten. The ladies of the parish presented him with a set of vestments imported from France, from the clergymen he received a solid gold ostensorium and the gentlemen gen-tlemen of the parish presented Father Kauten with a purse of $1,000. A solemn sol-emn high mass was celebrated in honor of the occasion. The sermon was delivered de-livered by Archbishop Christie. The whole affair was unquestionably one of the most pleasant of its kind ever held in the northwest. Priests of British Columbia, Oregon, Washington and Idaho were present. Father Kauten has done great work for the Church on the Pacific Coast, and the homage that his faithful people show him is in every way merited. |
