ASSUMPTION ALTAR.
A Decided Addition to tho Interior of the
German Catholic Church.

A Decided Addition to the Interior Of the
German Catholic Church.
Next Saturday evening, preceding or &C.
companying the "Resurrection service" at
Assumption church, the beautiful new altar
will be first unveiled and exhibited to the
congregation. The altar was constructed by
Mr.. E. Brielmayor of Milwaukee, from draw
ings of an altar at Munich. It is in the
Roman style, the body and columns being of
red oak, oiled in the natural grain. The
ornamentation is elaborate hand carving,
with gliding and oil colors. The whole
structure, strong and solid, yet of such pro-
portions as not to appear heavy, Is thirty live
feet high, and sixteen feet in width. At the
top is finely carved cross rising from a
dome. In the upper niche is statute of the
Virgin Mother and child. In the side inches
are oil paintings of st. Benedict, st. Scholas-
tigue, st. Anne and st. Aloisius. The
tabernacle is lined and curtained with white
silk, the curtains being spangled with gold
and bordered with bullion fringe. On
Saturday evening when the altar will be un-
yelled it will be illuminated as usual and dec
grated with flowers, and its appearance will
doubtless reward the members of the con-
gregation for their labors towards procuring
it. The altar is presented to the church by
three congregational societies-the Young
Men, the Young Women, and the Ladies'
societies. The services on the occasion are
of very interesting character to all Catho'
lies, and this, with the desire to witness the
first illumination of the new altar will
doubtless fill the spacious church building to
its full capacity.

THE SCHOOLS.

Using the Sixth Ward Town Hall-Proposl-
tion to Sell the Baldwin School Building.
The committee on public buildings and
the committee on ways and means from the
common council met yesterday afternoon
with the property committee from the board
of education. The matter of allowing the
board of education to occupy the town hall
in the Sixth ward as a school building until
the end of the school year was
brought before the committee
on bublic buildings. The committee
passed resolution allowing the board to use
the building for school purposes without
charges, provided they keep it in repair and
make the changes necessary at their own ex :
pense.
The question of the city buying the build
ing adjoining the city hall known as the
Baldwin school building was brought up.
City Attorney Murray asked at what figure
the board would sell. After a short confer
ence the property committee stated that
$500 was the lowest figure. This was con-
sidered a fair proposition, and the committee
will report to the council in favor of making
the purchase.

THE KELLOGG CASE.

The reports of the committee on elections
of the Senate on the Kellogg Spoford case
from Louisiana, caused an unusual scene in
that body on Monday. Contrary to prece-
dent the minority insisted that their report
should be read before the evidence had been
printed and laid before the Senate, and the
majority very naturally claimed the same
privilege. The reading of the reports drew
forth debate that has few parallels in the
history of Congress for personal villifcation,
for elimination and recriminstion. Senator
Hill, the chairman of the committee, was, by
the nature of his Office, compelled to assume
the responsibility of presenting the majority
report, and for that reason he was pounced up
on and denounced by the members of the NIL
nority as being sctuated by personal hostility
to Mr.. Kellogg in reporting in favor of I'M
seating him. Mr.. Kellogg himself took the
floor, and made charges of an exceedingly
grave nature against the Senator from Geor-
gia which, if proved to be true, will warrant
his expulsion from the seat he now occupies.
The substance of these charges is that he
had declared his determination to unseai
Kellogg at any cost, and had been guilty Of
subornation of perjury in order to secure the
REQUISITE evidence for the accomplishment
of his purpose, and had falsifed the testi.
mony presented to the committee for the
same purpose.
nMr. Kellogg can substantiate the charge.

Brooklyn, against the Union Pacific railroad
company, the Kansas Pacific railroad company,
the Denver Pacific railroad company and tele-

sellor Andrew and Counsellor Choste, for Phil
lip W. Holmes, on behalf of holders of coupons
of the Kansas Pacific railroad company, against
the Kansas Pacific railroad company, Ben. W

AID FOR IRELAND.
Excellent Progress In the Movement to
Bring Families to Minnesota.

Excellent Progress In the Movement to
Bring Families to Minnesota.
A meeting of citizens was held in Pfeifsr's
Hall last evening, for the object of consider
ing the proposition of the Rev. Father NJ
gent, of Liverpool, looking toward the loca-
ton of number of destitute families from
Ireland in this country. The object of the
meeting was explained by Bishop Ireland,
who called attention to Father Nugent's let
ter, in which he spoke of the great destitu-
ton in Connemara county, or the highlands
of Ireland.
Bishop Ireland stated that one-third of
the population of the highlands were desti-
tute of the means of subsistence, and the
reverend speaker alluded to the necessity of
active measures having in view the settle
ment of a number of families in Minnesota.
The liberal contributions already forwarded
by Minnesota were spoken of, and additional
money to procure land was urged as the
next necessity. The speaker alluded to the
inducements held out to emigrants in Big
Stone county of this State. 1t was proposed
to locate a number of families in this coun-
try. The railroads had signalized their will

81, 900 acres of indemnity land in Big Stone
county unsettled.
A contract had been made with the rail-
road companies to surrender a portion of
this land for Nttlement, and over $50 fam
lilies were now doing splendidly in that
county. The cost of properly locating the
settlers would be about $3.50 per family, and
such men as Father Nugent proposed to send
4 L. -, khn toto nod
children of their own and their adopted
country. The settlers should be strong
men, of saving and industrious families, and,
Judging from the noble response Minnesota
had already made, she would not be tardy
in meeting the demands of Father Nugent's
letter.
1t was necessary that the families sent
over should be located at their homes by the
first of May and one condition of their COM
ing should be that each settler must have
his potato patch under cultivation by
the period named.
It would require $3.50 per family to settle
the question of their coming; if st. Paul
could bring twenty five families over, good;
if she could bring twenty over, good, and if
she could bring forty or fifty, why better
yet. What st. Paul accomplished would be
key note of the movement and give tone
to the. affair all over the State.
The speaker closed with the prediction
that the settlers would be AL honor to the
State, and that in four or five years they
| would hold their own with any of the far
mers in Minnesota.

ing, then read the following subscriptions.

The Great Star Distances.

THE method of finding the distance cf
the stars, Or stellar parallaX, is one of
the interesting problems Of modern as
tronomy. In the days of old the stars
were supposed to hold the same posi-
ton in regard to each other from age
to age, and were, therefore, called fixed
stars, to distinguish them from the plan
cts. Nothing can be further from the
truth The telescope shows that the
stars are in constant motion, but that
the rate of motion is so slow that thou
sands of years must elapse before the
eye can perceive the change. Some
stars are coming toward US, and some
are receding from us, The sun, which
is only star, is moving with all the
planets in his train. Our earth, which
is but an atom among atoms, is whirl-
ING, no one knows whittier, through IL
limitabIe space. Even the serene heav-
en- above us is this same space pcryad-
ed by an infinitely subtle ether, whose
particles are seething and surging like
the waves of the stormy sea. The mo-
tion of the stars once established, it must
follow that some of them are nearer to
us than others, and very persistent and
painstaking have been the efforts to find
out which of the shining suns of space
re our nearest neighbors.
Success has, however, crowned pa
tient labor. Among the fifty million
stars that glimmer in the ornament,
there are about a dozen stars visible In
our latitude that have parallaX rang
inc from a tenth to half second. 1t
would be natural to suppose that the
brightest stars are the nearest, but this
is far from being the case. The nearest
star in the northern heavens is double
star of the fifth magnitude in the Swan
known as 81 Cygni. The brilliant 81
rius is nearly twice as far away The
nearest star in the whole heavens is
Alpha Centauri, a bright star near the
south pole. This has q paraIlaX OF
nine-tenths of a second, and is twice as
near as any other star. Its distance Is
computed as more than two hundred
thousand times our distance from the
sun, or twenty millions of millions Of
miles. If such be the inconceivable dis
tance separating us from the nearest

Irish Landlords and Tenants.

Mr. BENCE-JoNES, an Irish proprietor,
who is writing on the subject of Irish
land in Macmillan, says: "Inow come

father never saw it in his life. My
father saw it but once, when he drove

then drove back again. The agent was
bad, and about 1888 embezzlcd. 1t was
needful that some one should look after

prejudice against them, and the blame
Tor the state of the county was laid at
their door. The mistake was in the
further inference that the tenants were
all that could be wished. In truth
there was rot one point in which they
were better than the landlords. Truth
and facts are before all things neces-
sary in Ireland. The sentimental view
of the Irish questions actually hinderS
