Slibiirbs SOUTH SIDE NEWS. Probability That the Construction of , the Sewer Will Have to Be Postponed on ' Account of the Decision of Coart. An ordinance has been prepared for passage through councils providing for the repeal of the ordinance which cre ated the Seventeenth Sewer , district, which comprises the Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth and Twentieth wards. The court decided that only land abutting on the lines of the proposed sewer can be assessed for building It. In the esti mated cost of the sewer the pro rata assessment was computed from the entire territory embraced In the dis trict. Several acres of farm land owned by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com pany were assessed, but the sewer would not drain any of this land and the court ruled that the company could not be expected to pay for an Improve ment from which It would not derive nny benefit. The people of the South Side want a sewer and desire It without delay, and the quicker tho counollmen accede to the wishes of their constitu ents by adopting measures to replace the one to be repealed, the more popu lar they will find themselves.

There are several competitors in tne wake business. The complaint Is made that Is Is prejudicial to good health.. KILLED HIS FATn ER. Fred Hard a Murderer Reeanse Ills Par ent Annovsd Him.

TWO SODALITY RECEPTIONS One In St. Peter's Cathedral and the Other in the Holy Rosary Chorea. Solemn High Mass Cele brated at the Cathedral. The feast of the Immaculate Concep tion was celebrated In St Peter's cathe dral yesterday morning with a solemn high mass at 10.80. Rev. D. J. MacGold rlck, 8. J., president of St. Thomas' col lege, was - celebrant; Rev. Kenneth Campbell was deacon; Rev. Thomas V. Carmody was sub-deacon, and Rev. J. J. B. Feeley, master of ceremonies. Father Feeley preached the sermon on the feast and paid a noble tribute to the mother of God. At 7.30 in the evening the annual re ception of the Blessed Virgin sodality was held, and about ninety postulants were received. Rev. F. P. McNally. ot the West Side, preached the sermon, and after the reception solemn benedic tion was Imparted by Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara. with Father Carmody as dea con and Rev. James McAndrews, sub deacon. During the reception the members of the Blessed Virgin's and Angels' sodal ities sang hymns. The postulants were received by the bishop and then were presented with medals. The priests who were present, besides the bl.hop, were: Rev. J. A. O'Reilly, Rev. J. A. McHugh, Rev. M. J. Millane, Rev. J. J. B. Feeley, Rev. Thomas F. Carmody, of the cathedral: Rev. J. A. MoiHti, South Side; Rev. J. I. Dunn, Green Ridge; Rev. James McAndrew, and tne speaker, Rev. Father McNally. Sermon lv Fnthcr McNr.ltv. His text was from the canticle of the Blessed Virgin, "My sout doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." He said that the name of Mary lives on the lips of him who would call upon the namb of Jesus. Mother and eon, who can separate them? It Is against nature and the infallible teachings of the ohurch. She nursed him, watohed his Infant footsteps, and when he left her they were not separated. She was his mother; throughout their lives they were inseparable and even In death they were not parted. From the prophet Isalas tho promise was handed down that the eeed of the woman would crush the head of the serpent We cannot honor and love our blessed Redeemer unless we honor her who bore Him. The history of the life of Mary la written In the only vol ume worthy to contain tho record, In her heart. - Temples are erected and dedicated in her honor, and days are set aside to profit by following the part that Mary chose. The three things the world lives for are notoriety, wealth and comfort. In contradiction to all this Mary chose obscurity, poverty, suffering, as the dove that builds her nest In the clefts of a rock. Asked to Imitate Mary. The speaker urged the sodallst? as daughters of Mary to make her their guiding star. There Is something of that mother heart throughout her life, something Intense and awful. As soon as she looked upon the white brow of her child, she could see the crown of thorns pressing there. '' . Mary Is honored because first, she Is the mother of God. There are sacrl llglous persons who charge Catholics with deifying Mary. Father McNally said that not long ago a Protestant bishop declared that the Roman Catholic offers supreme Homage to Mary. This man Is pious, but he is either Ignorant or malicious. The Catholic does not deify Mary, said the speaker; she Is not placed on the throne beside God eternal, but venera tion and respect Is given to her as the mother of God. The speaker advised Protestants who arrogate to Judge the dogmas of the Catholic church with reference to the veneration of Mary, that they first come to the fountain of truth and learn what manner of hom age the Catholic pays to her. The Holy. Father tells that Catholics should give to Mary the best that can be offered after God has- been adored. She la the model of maidenhood, wife hood and motherhood. Exhortation to tha Newcomers. In conclusion the speaker exhorted the young ladles who were about to en ter the sodality to be devoted to Mary, to Imitate her, and pour forth suppli cations to her, and she will not be out done In generosity. Offer to her the best, with an open hand and a free heart. ; . Follow closely,- said he, the foot steps of Mary 'and they will lead you to Jesus and to heaven. AT HOLY KOSARY CHURCH.
