P. M. the Catholic Total Abstinence societies,
the Father Mathew crusaders and young
cadets, escorting the speakers of the even
ing from the societies hall, paraded Third,
Willard, Fourth, Churchill, Third, Lynden,
Second, Mulberry and Main to Opera Hall.
There must have been in the hall 500 per-
sons, many unable to find even standing
room, being compelled to turn away. Opera
Hall was never more densely packed, nor
| could it be. The band having rendered
fine selection, little Maggie Mahany sang
+" Putting on Airs'' to perfection, and being

lite bow.
The opening address of the evening was
then delivered by Rev. Father McGolrick,
of Minneapolis, president of the Catholic
Total Abstinence union of the diocese of St.
Paul. The reverend speaker referred briefly
to the evils of intemperance as seen by
and known to all, dwelling more at length
upon the advantages. accruing to the Irish in
America, and to their descendants, by the
blessings of total abstinence. OF late years
the professions are being rapidly filled from
the ranks of the Catholic people of America,
mainly through the influence Of this one
great cause. Where formerly many par
ent squandered hard earned wages to crafty
insatiate thirst, to-day their own homes shell
ter them. taeir children are decently clad
and we'll educated, morally and tellectually,
and they themselves by example are most
powerful preachers Of the faith that is in
them. The false spirit of liberty pervading
the American people was denounced. Nc
man has the right to do wrong or injury to
himself or others, and in SO far as he re-
strains himself from acting wrongly he is
not deprived of freedom. The total abstin.
ence pledge does not enslave, but emanci
pates. The address was able and eloquent
delivered in rapid and entertaining man
ner.

He had been called hither by Father Muir

was given to understand was in a depressed
condition, and, while meditating what h
might say, temperance men in round mum
bers, with banners flying and proudly wear
ing the regalia of total abstinence, wer
passing before his very eyes.
At first rather huff, he concluded to sa,
nothing, but a sbetter purpose arose, an,
though, after Father McGolrick's able dis
course, it was like the beggar gather
ing crumbs from the rich mans tabl
for the audience to listen to him
At length he came to business, that was
what he was there for. He wanted ever
man, woman and child to take the total alb

| Nearly the entire audience rose as one ma
and repeated after him the total abstinenc
pledge. The men were then urged to com
forward and give their names for admission
to the existing societies, the ladies also t

: The societies then reformed and escorted tn
speakers to the Sawyer House, and then dis
q banded, to meet again in their hall with in
