The Inmaculnte Conception church.


For the conservation of the new German Cath
Ollie church of the Immaculate Conception, a
finer day could not have been chosen. From an
early hour in the morning it could be seen that
something out of the ordinary course had brought
the citizens out, and at 8 O'clock when the
strains of the Saltwater brass band were heard
the streets had considerable number on them.
The Catholic organization in the city formed a
procession from st. Michael's church for the
purpose Of marching to the st. Paul e. Duluth
railroad station to meet special train with kin
dred societies from st. Paul and Minneapolis
First came the Saltwater brass band, followed by
the st. Joseph Benevolent society, Frank Stor-
kamp, president They were out sixty
strong. Next came the st. Vincent de Paul
society, j. o'shanghnessy, president. They
presented several files. The rear was brought up
by the Crusaders, forty strong, who were fully
uniformed. John o'Brien was in command,
with n. W. Murray assistant. The uniform was
very fine and they walked with the precision of
old veterans. This order is one that commends
it to the public, and so long as the members fol-
low its teachings they will be all right. The st.
Joseph's society is in connection with the new
German church. the others with st. Michaels
At 80 the train arrived from st. Paul and
composed was completely jammed, there being
nearly 800 persons on board. The societies from
Minneapolis we're the st. Joseph, Tbos. Dedrick
president, sixty strong, and the st. Boniface, NJ .
Bredemus president, sixty-fye atrong They
were headed by sidwell's band, composed Of
eighteen pieces and drum major. The st. Paul
societies were the st. Clements, 1870 strong, John
Keiman president Z. II. Schlick marshal, and
no ada Very fine n CO
Aloyseus, twenty-four strong, composed exclu-
svely Of young men, G. Kerst president and the
the St. Peters society. eighty strong, Jacob
SINNERS president. The Metropolitan band of
fourteen pieces accompanied the St. Paul
societies. The home societies re-
ceiyed them in open order All had
very fne banners, and the stars and stripes
we're carried by each contingent. In the order
given they marched to the new church, only the
home societies were reversed. Near the church !,
on Fifth street, was erected a beautiful triple
arch of evergreena, snrmoupted by cross, and
in the center this motto,
.sVenientes Venient
Cum
EZulratione.''
and ON the reverse side were the words,
'sPax Aeteona
Huic Domini.'
There was also row Of evergreens planted
along the new fence leading TO the church.
THE CONSIDERATION.
At O'Clock the conservation Of the new
church began, and it was conducted by the Right
Rev. Bishop John Ireland assisted by Rev Father
jerome and Alexius az deacons and subdeacons,
respectively, Fathers Bernard and Timothy as
masters Of ceremonies, and Father Maurus as
cross bearer All OF these Fathers belong to the
Order Of Saint Benedict. Some Of these Faith
erg during the long service of dedication were
placed by Father Alphonse. p. L. B. pastor of
the new church, and Father Murphy, pastor of
st. Micnaers church, Saltwater.
The ceremonies in connection with the con-
secration were OF the most interesting descrip-
ton, and very impressive. The costly vest
ments Of the various participants, and the richly
chosen vessels used adding much TO the COR
geousness Of the scene. The ceremony requires
to be seen to be understood. but no one could
be but struck with its impressiveness.
AT 10 O'Clock there was Pontifcal high mass

tine Stimmler, prior Of St. Benedicts priory,
