COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

We were glad to entertain the follppving on Washingbirthday anniversary : Mrs. Josephine Butler, T. F. Murphy, Mrs. J. Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. J, Dwyer, Miss A. O’Rielley, Chicago; Miss Anna Zeller, L. G./Eder, A. A. Schneider, Hammond; Mrs. Catharine Holz, Huntington; Miss eßrtha - Contant, Ft. W ayne; If. F. Maloney, Tefft; Xick Lauer, Ottoville, O. ; Harry Kampp, ’lO, Com., Wheat T on,'-Ill.; Miss Mary Thyne, Miss Mary Brooks, Kentland; Mrs. J. Ittenbach and son, Indianapolis. The varsity succeeded in capturing the home game from Monticello. When time was called the score stood a tie at 25. The locals were lucky in shooting the first basket and thus won the game.

On Sunday afternoon the varsity was defeated by Lafayette in the college gymnasium by the close score of 25 to 28. It was the old song, the collegians did not get into the game till the second period was drawing to a close, and only after the visitors had stowed the game safely away. On March 1 St. Joseph’s plays its return game with St. Yiateur’s College, Kankakee, 111. The literary entertainement of Washington’s birthday anniver- | sary was a grand success. The ! few members were not light nor over heavy, but afforded to those of classic tastes an hour and a half of genuine enjoyment and instruction. The program: 1. The Music of the Church, by George Pax. 2i Debate. ' Resolved: That State, County and City officials should be nominated by conventions rather than by direct primaries. Affirmative, Leon Dufrane. Negative, C. Burkart; 3. Afterpiece: Trusty and 'True. • John Russel ...M. Petzold j Frank Grey... .„ A. Pessefal j fames Drew E. Beckman i Mr. Soul W. Weber Musical numbers: 4. American Patrol, Orchestra. 5. Song by the Glee Club, “Until the Rawn,” 6. Sonora (Spanish Novelette), Orchestra. G. Pax’s oration on The Music of the Church was well composed, and even better delivered. It is a piece that should not be lost after one hearings' for it would do honor to any printed page. In the debate L. Dufrane signalized his work by oratorical Hashes; in composition, by all odds, the victory belonged to C. Burkart. The former’s position the affirmative forced him to speak against the evident trend and practice of the times, and where argument failed, political falacies were boldly introduced to cloak the inherent weaknesses of the present convention system. The latter brought forth strong arguments in favor of the direct primaries but jeopardized his chances of winning by not clinching them in indisputalbe final conclusions. The glow of the oritorical tinsel swayed the judges and argument presented the crown to the ringing sentiment of delivery. The afterpiece inculcated the homely lesson that faithfulness to present duty bears better results than the idle wandering after pleasures and easy graft. The .presentation was effective, and showed that there is not a little dramatic talent latent in the students of St. Joseph’s. The music and the singing were well received. Prof. L. Havorka is to be commended for the great success he is attaining with the orchestra considering the many difficulties he is forced to contend with in its upbiulding.

Miss Grace Grant, who recently suffered a stroke of paralysis, is reported as being able to sit up, has partly recovered the use of the paralyzed portion of her body.

HOME FROM TEXAS.

Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Healy Return Wednesday Night. * Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Healy, the popular Rensselaer couple recently married at Houston. Tex., returned home W ednesday night and will take up their residence here. The Democrat joins their fnany friends in welcoming them home. The following letter received from Mr. Healy W ednesday by The Democrat, will be of interest to our readers: My wife and self arrived home Wednesday after a very pleasant hon-ey-moon trip of about five weeks inSouthern Texas. We left Houston Sunday night, Feb. 19. and arrived in Chicago Tuesday evening, Feb. 21, i at 9:30 p, m. After a day’s rest in the city we resumed our journey l homeward and arrived here Wednesday night, Feb. 22, feeling fine' but a little tired after such a long trip. Mrs. Meyer, who accompanied my wife to Texas, will remain about two weeks longer with her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Donnelly. The distance from Houston to Rensselaer is 1500 miles and is &] very tiresome trip, even if you are in 1 a Pullman. After our marriage Sunday morn-, ing, Jan. 22, we proceeded at once' to Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly’s home where a wedding breakfast was prepared for us. After this we took the train for Galveston and remained there one week taking in the sights. We tok a ride on the Gulf! which we enjoyed very much as the' weather was fine. We Went to Mass in the old Cathedral the Sunday we left there. While in the city we mo two of our old Rensselaer friends, Mr. Lacy Gwin, who is manager of the American Express Company’s office in Galveston, and Emerson Reeve, who is the head telegraph i operator in one of the large offices' there. Both men were looking well and were glad to see us. On our return to Houston we went at once to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Don-! nelly’s home, 1419 Jackson st., and, were guests there until our depart- 1 ure for home. Mr. Donnelly is doing quite well in Houston, being in partnership with two other gentlemen, with the firm name of the Peoples Lumber Co. of Houston. At the present' time they have 10 buildings in the course of construction, one being a SIO,OOO contract. Mr. Donnelly said he had to pay bricklayers 75 cents an hour. All kinds of work is plen-; tiful in the city as they are experiencing quite a building boom. It was' estimated by one of the local papers that twelve million dollars worth of Improvements were being done at the present time. If I had money to

invest in real estate the city of Houston would be my choice. What is booming the city is the prospect of -getting a ship canal which will be dug from the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston to Houston, a distance of 50 miles. It is to be 25 feet deep and 100 feet wide and will cost about three million dollars. ; To show r you how lively the city is, last week the wholesale hardware dealers, 400 strong, had a three days session there. Feb. 18, the Houston bankers’ were hosts to 180 bankers from all parts of the state. Harris county, wllere Houston Is located, will dedicate her new courthouse, costing $500,000, March 2. The Houston Daily Cbroncile has just finished a fine steel and brick 10-story building. They jure occupying the first two floors and rent , the balance for offices. I called in ,to see the new high-speed Sextuple j press work. It is a wonder, and can I print and fold 60,000 8-page papers | per hour. (If I am not mistaken, ■ Mr. Babcock, that will get away with either of the Rensselaer papers.) j Mr. Donnelly takes the Jasper County j Democrat and we w ere all very glad to read the news from home. On our farewell Sunday at Houston we attended Mass in the church jof the Annuciatjon where we were married. The building was crowded with Knights of Columbus, members from all over the southern part of , the state being present, it being j the celebration of Washington’s i birthday. Archbishop Bleak, of | New Orleans, was present as well as i Bishop Gallagher, of Galveston, and several priests from surrounding cities/ Two hundred and fifty Knights marched to the church in a body. Just as I was leaving Houston, Earl Housman, formerly of Rensselaer, called me up on the ’phone, he [ saw’ my name in one of the papers. ,He said he was married and living in Houston. Monday at nine a. m., we crossed the Red River,, the boundary line between Texas and Oklahoma on the Santa Fe. The soil in this section has a reddish color and does not look very good to me. In passing through Oklahoma and Missouri, you have to have your I own drinking cup as there is a san- , itary law prohibiting the public I drinking cup. We passed through , Oklahoma City Monday afternoon, it • looks good from the train, j We met Mr. Hy Wood and wife at Kansas City Tuesday morning, i They expect to return home In about a week. The snow was 6 inches deep there. On our return trip we passed (through the following large cities: Ft. Worth, Oklahoma City, Arkansas , City, Wichita, Kansas City and Chicago. We will be very glad to meet all of our friends at our home with M>rs. Meers on Front street. I . ’
