CATHOLIC NOTES.

Rev. August Seifert and Rev. B. Boebner went to Fort Wayne last Wednesday to attend the funeral services of Rt Rev. Bishop Dwenger. Bishop Dwenger was the Ordinary of this diocese of Ft. Wayne since 1872 when he was consecrated successor to Bishop Luers, Bishop Dwenger was born at St. John, Ohio. Being left an orphan at an early age without any friends, he was received into the Community of the Most Precious Blood. Every opportunity was afforded the young man to educate himself and to prepare for his great calling. He completed his studies for priesthood at Mt. St. Mary’s, Cincinnati, O. Then he labored faithfully for several years in the seminary at Carthagena, O. From the year 1867 to 1872 he was engaged in missionary work in the states of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Since that time he has successfully filled the Episcopal See of this diocese.

The home merchant is after your trade and knows that it cannot be secured by trickery or deception, hence you are always safe in trusting him. Glance over the columns of advertising in your home paper and you will find there represented the best dealers and the best goods and men who aid in building up the town and county, pay their share of taxes, and who are identified with and interested in the affairs of both. Hundreds of dollars are wasted every year by the credulous housewives whose experience with peddlers and agents have been disastrously expensive.
