B -+ bishop Riordan addressed the congrega- tion. In part he said: Children, look forward to your confirmation promises and see that they take root in your hearts. These promises if fulfilled will de- velop into Christian virtues and you will ali be the purer and the better for it. 1 want to remind the parents of these chil: dren confirmed here to-day of the necessit of parish religious teaching. A man that has no care of the household is worse than an infidel. These children belong to the great household of the faith. If you neglect your duty you will be held answerable. To-day the little ones have received the holiest of sac- raments. The holy spirit of God remews its presence in thelr souls and will lead them: from virtue to virtue. It is a great grace &iven to us by the almighty God._ Let us pray that these children may never swerve from the paths of virtue and righteousness. From the boys, who were read into the League of the Cross, the Archbishop ob- tained a willing pledge of adherence to the cardinal principles of the order. Those Who Were Confirmed.

Rev. T. Caraher, the pas- tor, officiated. Music was rendered by the choir under the direction of the or- ganist, Mrs. Collins, and the responses and hymns were sung by the young ladies. Father Caraher, in speaking of the ob- ligations they assumed, said in part: Maids of honor to Queens and Empresses deem it a great privilege to be members of a royal household in order to minister to these great personages. How much greater, ther fore, is the privilege of belonging to thé hous hold of the Queen of Heaven. As these priv leges are great, so much greater are your du- ties and obiigations. The practice of attending theaters on Sundays and being present at many plays that are presented to the public must be stopped. Reading in the daily papers I find that there is a play now being presented to the public in which both the play and the principal players are denounced as unfit to be seen upon the stage. 1 want to warn you against frequenting the ballroom, as it is the harvest fleld of Satan, I want fo denounce in as forcible terms as I can the balls which are given every Saturday and Sunday night in & hall within a stone’s throw of this church. There is too much danc- ing and waltzing among Catholics. The church has never sanctioned such an amusement, and the church or the religious institution’ that lives on the proceeds of the waltz should be allowed to perish. The children of Mary should practice humility, obedience, charity and chas- tity, particularly the latter two. Miss Florence Scage, president;: Miss Katie Van Elsinger, secretary, and Miss Mary Dowling, treasurer, are the princi- pal officers of the soclety, and had charge of the candidates. In the evening Rev. Father Onesimus, O. F. M., preached the sermon, dwelling upon the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. L RN CEREMONIES AT ST. IGNATIUS. Sodalities Célebrate Feast Day With Marked Devotions. One of the most important feasts of the Catholic church—that of the ‘Tm- maculate Conception of the Blessed Vir- gin—was celebrated yesterday with elaborate ceremonies. In every church solemn high masses and vespers were cclebrated and sung, while organs pealed forth joyous paens and choirs sang an- thems of praise. At St. Mary’s Cathedral Archbishop Riordan officiated, preached the sermon and gave the pontifical bless- ing at the close. At St. Ignatius Church the day was given up to a reunion of the sodalities placed under the protec- tion of the Blessed Virgin, while in other churches ceremonies perhaps less elab- orate but just as significant marked the ay. Early in the morning the members of the Gentlemen’s Sodality attached to St. Ignatius Church to the number of 500 as- sembled in their hall and formed in pro- cezsion. They were headed by their ven- erable prefect, James R. Kelly, and were under the direction of Father Hickey, S. J. They carried their banners, which are only used on the most solemn occa- sions. Each member wore his regalia, and as soon as the line was formed they proceeded in a body to the church, oc- cupying the center aisles. Each mem- ber received holy communion. In. the evening, when they attended the solemn high Vespers, the procession was re- peated. After the mass the members of the Stu- dents’_Sodality, under the direction of the Rev. Father Culligan, J., ap- proached the holy table and a large num- ber of them received their first com- munion. At the solemn high mass, which was celebrated at 10:30 o’clock. Rev. Edward Allen, 8. J.,, was the celebrant; Rev. Father Forhan, S. J., deacon, and Rev. Mr. Fleuren, S. J., sub-deacon. The ser- mon was preached by Rev. . J. But- ler, 8. J., who took his text from the gudual of the mass, “Happy Art Thou, Sacred Virgin Mary, and Most Worthy of All Praise.” He sald in part: When our first parents transgressed God's precepts by eating the forbidden frult, their open violation of God's commands brought i finite ruin of all mankind.

It shall be our aim to-day to see how becom- ing it was that the three persons of tne heay- enly trinity should preserve the Blessed Virgin Mary free from the slightest stain of original sin.” It was fitting for the father to do so, for she was to be his daughter; for the son, for she was to be his mother, and for the holy spirit, for was to be his spouse. And first of all, it was fitting to the eternal father to create Mary free from the original stains. She was his first born daughter, as the church says in the mass of to-day: ‘I came out of the mouth of the most high, the first born of all creation.”” Hence it is not meet that she should be the slave of Lucifer, but that she should always be possessed by God alone, “The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways.” She was the one and only daughter of life; all the others being born in sin are daughters of death. It was also fitting that the eternal father should create her in his grace, since he deter- mined that she should save a lost world and reconcile man with his maker. She was born to procure the world's salvation. St. Bernard compares her to the ark of Noah, for as by the ark men were saved from the 'deluge, €0 by Mary we are saved from the shipwreck of sin. But the ark is a mere faulty shadow of Mary, for in it but a few were saved, but through Mary the whole human race has' been redeem- ed. “And so we call her the new Eve, the mother of life, for the first was the mother of deatn, but th Virgin Mary is the mother of e, In celebration of the day the Ladles’ Sodality met in the afternoon and _re- ceived a number of candidates.

The quarterly conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society was held yester- day at St. Brendan's Churéh. The mem- bers approached holy communion at 7:30 o'clock mass, and were later enter- tained at breakfast in the parochial resi- dence by Rev. Father Nugent and the ladies of the parish. The meeting was held in the afternoon in the academy of Our Lady of *Mercy at Harrison and Fourth streets. J. M. Burnell presided, and D. M. Fitzgerald acted as secretary. Father Nugent brief- ly addressed the meeting. In presenting their reports the delegates in most of the parishes said the late strike had serious- ly affected their income, and that the dis- bursements for the quarter had ex- ceeded the revenue, but they were en- abled to meet this by using the balances that accrued before the strike.

Luis Guerier, a Frenchman, in the em- loy of the Pacific Fishing and Exploring ‘ompany at San Quintin, together with Ramon Castanedo, a Mexican boy of 14 years, started from the harbor to take provisions and water to Abelone Camp, near the mouth of the harbor. “They were in an eighteen-foot boat and in a storm they were carried out of the harbor.

Some years ago oll had been struck in a well, but the project was sub- sequently abandoned. Two weeks ago the present company went through a strata of oil sand at forty and eighty feet and a small quantity of oil was struck. osince then more oil has been found, but the company has kept it quict and gone about securing leases to land in the vicinity. Last Monday H. W. Conkling, the presi- dent of the company, filed twenty leases to land in that locality. Oover I acres have thus been bended. To-day the true size ol the oil strike was made public. T. A. Pieper, the superintendent of the company, stated that a great deal of oil has been found and he is positive the weill will produce from 400 to 580 barrels in a day. Yesterday afternoon the men had reached a depth of 800 feet and struck a strata of oil-bearing sand. Into this they have gone about thirty-five feet and the gas came up so strong as to force the workmen from the well. Oil began to flow and in order to prevent this water was run into the well. The oil-bearing sand will now be gone through and the casing plerced. The oil is of an asphalt base.

TACOMA, Dec. 8.—Dispatches from Col- fax and Pendleton say that wholesale horse-stealing is going on in the interior country south of Pendleton. The high rice placed upon the semi-wild animals, Pecause of great demands for cavalry horses for South Africa, has encouraged men to carry off the mounts. The ma- rauders have not been apprehended, but a posse of deputy sheriffs is pursuing them. It is supposed the organized gang, which has been carrying on extensive cattle rustling operations for several years in Central Oregon, is at work now on the range horses. This band makes quick forced marches, rounds up eighty to one hundred animals and runs them out of the country almost before the loss is dis- covered. The horses are then loaded at some _convenient railroad point and shipped to where the Government buyers are located.

SEE THE DOLLS IN OUR SHOW WINDOW. EVERYBODY WELCOME, with DR. PIERCE’'S REMEDTES STRUCK DOWN. Slain in the Hour of Success. The Indian who trailed the hunter silently and secretly through the woods, often played with his victim as a cat plays with a mouse. Just in the moment of the hunter’s success, the blow fell; silent, sudden, swift. 2 There are certain forms of disease which seem inhumanly malevolent. Like the Indian they seem to play with the victim, untll some day when he has reached the height of success and is thinking te “take life easy,” disease strikes him down, perhaps never to rise again, or mayhap to drag out the re- mainder of existence in physical pain and privation. The best example of such a malevolent disease is found in dyspepsia and allied forms of “stomach trouble.” Not long ago the newspapers were calling atten- tion to one of the richest men of the age working in his garden like a common laborer for his health’s sake and for the same cause living abstemiously on a diet which a laborer would despise. There’s a conspicuous example of the class of people whose success seems almost fail- ure. But how many people are struck down fatally in the hours of success, no man can absolutely say. Stomach ®failure ” means heart {lilure, the failure of kidneys, liver, lungs and any other organ, inasmuch as each and every organ of the body is dependent on the stomach for its nutrition and therefore for its vitality, For this reason no vital statis- tics can ever give the number of those who fall victims to disease of the stom- ach and the other organs of digestion and nutrition, because the cause of their decease is charged to other organs dis- eased through the stomach. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? Is it “weak” lungs, “"weak” h kidney “troublc er “trouble ” or dis- ease of any oth. rgan? You will find that in general, ii you trace the disease back it originates in a diseased condition of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. The best proof of this is that diseases of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., are constantly bein; cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi Discovery which is primarily and chiefly a medicine for the cure of diseases of the stomach and of the blcod. The booodg and all its organs are sustained by food, properly digested and assimilated, which when convertec. into blood forms the nutrition by which physical life is re- newed day by day, and meal by meal. — Rut when the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the nutritive properties are not extracted from food, the blood becomes poor, the body lacks adequate mnourishment and the flesh “falls away.” The weakness consequent on this loss of nutrition will generally find its expression in some one organ which has been longest starved. Thus as starvation causes weakness, when the nutrition falls short of the needs of the body we may look for the expression of that weakness in some one organ—lungs, liver, heart, k\dneysv‘ or any other vital organ of the body. When the diseased stomach is cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, then the diseases of cther organs which orig- inated in the disease of the stomach are cared also. WHAT PEOPLE SAY. «Your ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy have been of great bemefit to me,” writes (Prof.) Pleasant A.

Often I could eat almost nothing, and sometimes abso- lutely nothing, for twenty-four honrsat a time. I was entirely unfit for work, and my whole system seemed so run-down that I feared a severe sick spell, and was very much discouraged.

JURORS FASTE CRIME ON BARR Find Denver Merchant Guilty of Diamond Robbery. DENVER, Dec. 8.—The jury in the case of J. K. Barr, formerly a prominent mer- chant and manufacturer of Denver, on trial charged ‘with robbing Mrs. Mary Betts of $7000 worth of diamonds, to-night returned a verdict of guilty after being out twenty-two hours. The penalty for the crime is from one to fourteen years in the penitentiary.
