CLERGY IS TO PARTICIPATE Rev, Father Quinn Preaches Sermon In Which He Tells of the Work of Sisters. In celebration of the final approbation of their rules and constitution by the Holy See the Sisters of the Incarnate Word began a Triduum of Thanksgiving yesterday morning at their mother house, the Convent of the Incarnate Word, on Alamo Heights. The mother superior of the Academy and College of the Incarnate Word has just re turned from Rome where she received an audience with Pope Pius X and submitted the rules and constitution of the order. They received final approbation April 5, IUIO. The ceremonies will conclude with a sol emn procession in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes which will take place Thursday even ing at 7:30 o'clock. The magnificent grounds of the convent and the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes will be illuminated and the pro cession will be participated in by a large number of the sisters belonging to the order, the leading Catholic clergy of the city and a number of visiting priests of distinction as well as the friends and patrons. Rev. Father J. H. Quinn, rector of St. Mary’s church preached the sermon at the opening of the Triduum yesterday morning, and taking for his the words of St. Paul: “By the grace of God I am what I am and his grace in me has not been ,void.” Father Quinn said: “I know of no text mere appropriate than this for this joyous occasion—no text which, as it were, covers the whole ground—a text which signifies the divine power which orig inated your congregatiw, a text which ex hibits the latent forces of its wonderful de velopment and which bespeaks the additional increase and perserve rance of your congre gation. Not Found Wanting. “After nearly half a century of existence to be exact, after forty-fair years, the seal of approval of the Vicar of Christ on earth, the Pope, is attached to your institution. You have been weighed in the balance and not found wanting. “This is the day which the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad. God loves to encourage his children and those who walk hia courts are his special favorites, for to them he has said ‘if thou wilt,’ and to him they have ‘I will.’ A volun tary oblation and self-abandon to Christ as his spouse in that kingdom which shall have no end Rome has spoken; the cause is fin ished. Your rules have received apostolic approbation, which has conferred upon them a sacred character, and now in the highest degree they merit the respect, the submis sion and the love of those for whom they have been made. Housed the Orphan. “You have housed the orphan, you have homed the aged, you have ministered to the sick and dying in your many hospitals; in your schools you have won great success as character builders, and these words of Holy Scripture will apply: ‘Those who instruct many unto justice shall shine as stars for all eternity.’ And in your labors yea may always remember those words of the Mas ter: ‘lnasmuch as you have done it to these .the least of my little ones, you have done it to me.’* “The Sisters of the Incarnate Word now ccaitrol sixty-one establishments. five col leges, twelve academies, twenty-eight schools, four orphanages, nine hospitals and four homes for the aged, fifteen in Mexico and forty-five tn the United States, and their work is blessed in fifteen different dioceses. In the forty-four years of its existence the congregation has increased from three sisters to 550 sisters, novices and postulants. Many nationalities are represented and drawing their assimilating power from the blood that flowed on Calvary’s Hill, they have blended into one harmonious whole a band orf devoted women, a power unto good for themselves, their families, the church and the state. “In tho soul of your pupil you see an in tellect to be trained, to» think according to the laws of logic, an imagination to be pruned and chastened and restrained by the dictates of w>d taste; an intellect to be guided by theßws of truth, a memory to be burdened only with the useful and beneficial, and a wilt to be regulated by the laws of morality, and a heart to be trained to love God and neighbor. Religion and philosophy, which from the intellect and the conscience, aro the well springs of your educational system. “God has sent you subjects from’many lands and many homes in France, Germany. Ireland, Mexico and the United States aro made happy by the fact that from these homes children h .ve come who have responded gen erously to the Master's call and have chosen ‘the better part.’ God has sent you fair flowers from my own parish. May he send you more, is my wish and prayer. “May your lives continue to be eloquent of the good, the beautiful and the true, elo quent of the ethical, the aesthetic and the scientific, your actions redolent of every virtue that stands for the uplift of poor suf fering humanity."

Crush, General Passen ger Agent of Katy, Makes a Prediction, ‘ My trip through the northern and eastern states during the past week has more than convinced me that San An tonio and this section can look for one of the biggest of winter tourists and homeseekers this fall and winter than ever in the history of the state. When the people in the sections visited learned that I was from Texas, thousands of questions were fired at me broadcast and this was on the program every day.” So spoke W. G. Crush, general passen ger agent of the Katy, who is in San Antonio today looking after the new furnishings of the city passenger and ticket oftice of that road in the Gun ter hotel building. Mr. Crush stated that the improvements in the local of fice would commence at once and when completed, the quarters, in this city would be the finest in the south and something that the road would be proud of. Speaking of his latest visit to the northern states, Mr. Crush said: ‘‘The people of the north and east go wild when the meet a Texan, and what they do to him in the question line about the state is a plenty. The ques tions principally asked are about San Antonio and southwest Texas, the price of lauds, hotel facilities, the weather and many other matters in this section. By reason of the great interest shown on the last trip, I am forced to the be lief that this section will catch the lion's share of the winter tourist and the homeseeker traffic this year. They are coming here in droves and it will require all the regular and extra roiling stock on hand to handle the business.” RAILROADER LOSES PURSE. J. W. King, traveling freight agent of the Iron Mountain, with headquar ters in this city, while walking along Houston street Tuesday afternoon, lost a purse containing $3O in currency. Later he learned that Tank Welker of the San Antonio Steam laundry, had picked up a purse containing some money. He applied to Mr. Welker and after giving a description of the purse and the contents, the finder turned over the lost coin to the owner. Mr. King was elated over the discovery of the lost money and invited Mr. Welker to a hat store in order to show his apprecia tion of the kind act of the finder. Mr. Welker declined the offer of the hat, but stated that he -would take the purse, minus the money that it had contained when he picked it up. This request was gladly complied with and both men parted in a happy frame of mind. Ed Hammond, an engineer on the In ternational & Great Northern, is at Chicago spending his vacation of. a month.

EIGHT IN SALOON DOESN’T MAKE OWNER RESPONSIBLE Factions Come Together on Sunday In Salinas’ Place and Quarrel—He I: Discharged. Charged with unlawfully conducting a disorderly bar room, A. Salinas, the proprietor of a saloon on Laredo street, was found not guilty, when .he case was aired before Judge Buckley in the police court today. The charge against Salinas, which was dismissed, followed a fight which took, place there Sunday afternoon, July 17. Detective Newman and Station Of ficer Frank Brown testified that in re sponse to a call they hurried to the sa loon that Sunday afternoon and found the place practically wrecked. All the windows had been knocked out, bottles, glasses and mirrors shattered and fur niture turned topsy-turvy. ‘ ‘ It was the worst wrecked bar I ever saw in my life,” testified officer Brown. ‘‘And it looked to me like a cyclone had struck the place,” testified De tective Newnam. Salinas testified he was at his place of business on the Sunday in question and was scrubbing up. The rear door, i he said, had been left open to t -rmit a little breeze to enter and that he might carry the water in and out. Two factions came in and wanted to drink, he said, but were refused. Salinas said, : because it was on a Sunday. The fight | then started and he used every effort to prevent it, but .the men were wild, ho said, and finding interference useless he ran from the place to call the po lice. _ The court held that Salinas could not be held accountable for the fight, that he had used every effort to prevent it and was not guilty in the eyes of the law. The case was therefore dismissed. ■ » ELECTION OF GRAND KNIGHT IS POSTPONED At a regular meeting of the San An tonio council.

Absolutely nothing could be learned regarding it.” This is a note signed by Dr. D.

The skeleton was that of a child evidently six or eight years old at the time of death. How the child died or the cir cumstances surrounding the case are all a mystery.
