Mr Higgins introduced Dr FelixGaudin Supreme President of the Catbo

3lic Knights of America who was todeliver the principal address of the even ¬

ing Dr Gaudin is large and of strikingappearance His lecture was somewhatout of the usual order since it was repletewith illustrations from a stereopticonTo attempt to report the lecture withoutreproducing the views would be futileand when it is known that he showedseries of 118 pictures one can readilyunderstand that this would be an impossi ¬

ble task The audience was appreciativeand never failed to applaud a picture

Dr Gaudin thanked the audience fortheir attendance and commented favor¬

ably on the morning and afternoon cele ¬

brations Then he told how the orderhad gained 349 new members in January474 in February 339 in March and 332

lic Knights The society was formedwith a nucleus of seventeen men butnow carries insurance to the amount of125000000

A picture of the late Archbishop Feeban of Chicago was next shown Itwas he wbo while a priest at Nashvillepreached the sermon that gave Mr McLoughlin the idea upon which the orderwas based and who suggested the nameCatholic Knights of America Briefly

tion on April 23 1877 held its firstSupreme convention in Louisville onJuly 17 1878 when the late W C Smithpresided as Chairman Pictures repre ¬

senting the growth of the order itsSupreme officers and depositories in StLouis the present Supreme officers etcfollowed The lecturer showed wherethe 760000 sinking fund was kept andtibw impossible it was to molest orembezzle any funds of the order

Incidentally he referred to the duty ofthe Catholic husband and father to pro ¬

tect his dear ones in case of deathPictures of the home illustrated this partof the lecture rind When he showed a logcabin Miss Francis Kleuber feelinglyrendered My Old Kentucky HomeIn conclusion he begged all to work forthe interest and unity of the order

During Dr Gaudins lecture it becameuecessary to change the carbon in thespot light so while that was being doneF X Altenberger State President of
