Cities cannot do better there is no relief from this but we can suggest a way out of the difficulty go out and live at i WYOMISSIKG WATER BLESSINGS BROUGHT FROM THE POPE. FATHER BORNEMANN RESPONDS TO THE GREETINGS OP HIS CONGREGATION AND FRIENDS.

The congregation of the St. Paul Catholic church tendered its welcome home to Father Bornemann with appropriate services last evening. The church auditorium was prettily decorated with evergreens, and as many persons as could crowd into the edifice were on hand to Join in the welcome. At 7.30 o'clock the chimes in the church steeple began to play and from the parish house emerged the reception committee of 15, followed by Fathers Bornemann and Michel. As they entered the church the congregation arose and joined in the singing of an appropriate anthem.

Frederick Stephan, chairman of the committee, extended the welcome on behalf of the congregation, assuring their beloved pastor of the sincere gladness in the hearts of all his flock for his safe return. The choir sang an anthem and Father Bornemann then addressed the congregation. He spoke in German for nearly an hour, holding the closest attention of his vast audience. He assured them of his sincere appreciation of the kindly greeting and cordial welcome accorded him. It was certainly a source of much pleasure to hear so many kindly expressions and to see so generous a greeting upon his return.

He said if they were glad to see him home, he was a thousand times more pleased to be back among his friends again. He reviewed many of the pleasant experiences of his trip and said he saw and learned much he was sure would be of benefit to him in his labors. The Passion Play at Oberammergau was a sight, he said, worth all the time and money spent on his entire trip, and if he had seen nothing else he would have been well repaid. His visit to Rome and his personal Interview with His Holiness, the Pope, were of especial significance to him. He told his congregation that the Holy Father was still in the full possession of his mental faculties and was not showing signs of weakness, as reports have sometimes said.

He brought with him from the Pope blessings for his congregation, his school children, the Sisters in the homes and hospital and for the Christians of Reading. The address was of intense interest and was much enjoyed by all who heard it. The service closed with an anthemby the choir. It was a orettv stent that greeted er Bornemann yesterday morning, response to a knock at the St. Paul Catholic parish door after resting from the fatigues of travel.

A delegation of boys dressed as sailors and as many girls in white, carrying bouquets, with a large floral ship between them, with Frank Ganster as captain, announced themselves as his escort to the parochial school hall. "And where shall I walk?" he asked, with a broad smile. "Fall in to the rear of the ship," responded Capt. Ganster, with a martial air. And then the little procession moved toward the school hall, a thousand curious eyes looking at the pleasing spectacle of the black robed Father surrounded by his proud and happy escorts.

In the hall Father Bornemann was given the seat of honor and the welcomlngs began. They were short and sweet and many, and were given by the following: First grade boys, Francis Stoeber, John Bueffel, Leo Fagel; first grade girls, Annie Schmit tinger, Margaret Tisenhauer, second grade boys, John Flickenstein, Charles Gantert, Irwin Eisenhauer; second grade girls, Agnes Fasig, Annie Halzlnger, Kate Bristel; second grade boys, John Haag, Paul Heck er, Donald Maurer; third grade girls, Helen Weissmann, Margaret Pelpher, Mary Elbert; fourth grade boys, William Born, Robert Henke; fourth grade girls, Carrie Schober, Annie Keeley; fifth grade boys, Joseph Hassler, William Nagle; fifth grade girls, Annie Brown, Annie Hlglcr, Agnes Reedy. Father Bornemann was visibly touched by these many attempts to show how welcome home he was, and responded as follows: "Children, your welcoming has done me more good than all the bands and fireworks and flags. I can't say how glad I am to see you. When I was In Rome I asked His Holiness, the Pope, to bless you all and he did right there.

It is worth coming home to such a family." The children clapped their hands, and again escorted him to bis rooms. A high thanksgiving mass was held at 7.20 yesterday morning, attended by a large number. The escort of sailors and girls consisted of Edwin Eiler, Henry Hoffman, John Stein, Lester William Dampman, Joseph Hammel, John Wentzel, Leon Heine, Joseph Grossman, William Smith, Jennie Spuhler, Annie Trout, Margaret Aypmissing where there is no need to boil liquid filth in order to enjoy a drink of water!

The presence of every employe to a man was a signal tribute to their employer, as the man who commanded the love and regard of his employes was certainly a proper one to govern the men who are taking the place of the boys of '61." THE SHRINERS. He then introduced as the representative of Rajah Temple, Illustrious Potentate J. Lew Rake, whose speech was scintillated with wit. He detailed the scenes and incidents at Syracuse, N. and the successful culmination of the efforts of the men behind the guns who finally landed General Alexander in the position in which he now finds himself.
