Tho friends of the Union Catholic Library Ae- sociation filled its Lol yesterday evening to overflowing, the occasion being the inauguration of the nmowly-electod oficors, The andienco, tully ong-Llf lndies, was composed of tho most promincut Catholic citizeus and their wives and families, who throughout tho meoting took the daopest interest in ils exercises, At tho opening of the meeting the chuir was taken by Mr, Wush- ington Hesing, who, after the playing in excel~ laut stylo of the overture to *‘Zamps," called upon TRE REV. FATIER RIORDAN, of &t. James Church, to nddross the meeting, I'ho Roy. F'ather Riordan atated that, alchough hio hind promised the Presidont to muke a few romarks, Lo had no idea that ho would have {o make o formal addross until he saw bis name iu print. Tho very namo of the Kociety showed tha dopth of ity meaniug and the fulliiess of its intentions, Thoy were bound to show that they would bo willing to abide by the namo, It was a'trulsm that tho Catholie. Church kad” made wonderful progress in the Now World within tha past fifty yonrs, muoh greater progreds than any one fifty years ogo would havo supposed. The spenker doscribed the power of Catholicigm in Amorica, and tho cxtent of its ju- atitutions, which ho churacterized ns & subject of pride to Catholics, and of alarin to those wlo are not Catholies, Tho groat religious contro- vorsy of to-day was not what it Lad beon—be- tweon Catholicism and Protestantism—but be- twoen Gatholicism and infidolity, Protestantism existed no more. At the samo timo it wonld be wroug to suppose that danger was past. Lheve was' alwnys danger to individual souls, and Catholie young men growing up in the midat of infidol society iu Chicago should beware of the danger of over-intelloctuality. — The denger way of mon's losing their faith from kuowing too much, Young men now-n-days would yend overytbing, and too much of oversthing. They reud the nowspapers, and wero thus ever in danger of Leing werverted. Unfortunately, they froqueutly eucounterod thoological prob- loms which they were unablo to fatbom and which shook thoir faith in the Uhurch. The speaker urged strongly tho dangor which tho Cliurgh feared from young Catholies undortak- iuy to think for thomselves upon roligivus sub- Jocts, It was much casier for them to roceive tho truth from tho Chureh than search for it thomselves. Ho atated that though the Library Associntion wag only a bogimning, ho had no doubt that tho Catholic youny mon of Chicago would bring it to a successful conelusion, At the same timo, thoy must never forgot to liold to the Catholio Church m all its truth and all its futluess, Thoy must beware of liberty aud lib~ eralism, aud keop in the track which tho Churel hud laid down for them. Miss Nellio Greou played with considerable doliency of excoution mn arrangement of selac- v,im‘mh from **Midsimmor Night's Droam,” aftor whicl 0, WABHIINGTON IESING made tho outgoing specch to the membors of the Ansoeintion and the audiouce, Mr, Hesing aid that in closing the fifth year of the Hbrary's existeuce he would briefly ‘roview the circum- ataucos of its lnst yuar's carpor.

Mri Moalkor, tho Proaldent of tho Compnny, wae puton the stand, and his examination oceupied the whola day. Tho other oftlcers will probably take their turn to- day. Mr, Moeker, who scomed to havo vory Indofi- nito knowledgo of tho Company's nffairs, tosti- flod that tho' Company was organized witha onpital stock of £200,000, which had been subse- quently increased to §2,000,000, mostly pald up. The procoeds woro mostly usod in buying -the necessary Jand, moking improvements, and pay- ing tho ordinary running exponses of the Com- pany.
