TAKING THE VEIL.

Nine Maidens Take the Irrevocable Vows.
Yesterday afternoon very impressive GER
emony took place at st. ,Joseph's academy,
St. Paul. Seven young ladies took the re-
ligious veil and nine made their VOWS. TAX
ing the veil is the first step in the life of a
member of the sisterbood. The candidate
enters into the chapel arrayed in all the
beauty of bridal garments, is told by the pre-
siding prelate of the nature of the obligations
she is to take upon herself, and is asked
whether she is acting entirely of her own free
will, and whether she understands what she
is doing. She afterwards retires and returns
clad in the sable garment of the nun. After
taking the veil the young Woman is novice
on probation for two years. Nine novices
had completed yesterday their probation and
kneeling before the bishop they read aloud
the solemn promises or VOWS binding them
to God in perpetual poverty, chastity and
obedience. The ceremonies attending the
taking of the veil and tile reading of the
VOWS are most impressive, and seldom do the
bystanders witness them without being moved
to tears.
The attendance in the convent chapel was
very large. The music was furnished by the
nuns choir and was spoken of as being of a
high order. There were in the sanctuary
nearly twenty priests with Bishop Ireland.
The bishop preached on the origin, nature
and obligations of the religious life,
tracinga its origin and meaning back
to the gospel, in which the young man asked
the Savior what he could do for God, over
and above observing the commandments,
and the Savior answered.: $50 sell what
thou hast, give it to the poor and follow me-"
Only in the Catholic church are the counsels
of perfection carried out constantly and this
fact evidences the Divine life of the church.
The religious orders enable the church to
prosecute in the world her great mission of
charity and well-doing. The motive which
leads souls to embrace this life is the strong
love of God, and strong desire to work
more thoroughly for His glory.
The young ladies who took the veil we're:
Mary Jarrett, Sister NJ. Josepha; Maggie
Finn, Sister NJ. Esperance; Maggie Casey,
Sister NJ. Emerantia; Katie O'Brien, Sister
Mary Marcella; Mary Gleason, Sister Mary
Beatrice; Agnes Traynor, Sister NJ. Louise;
Mary Traynor, Sister NJ. Justina.
Those who made their profession were:
Sister Mary Constantia, Elise German; Sister
NJ. Alice, Rose White; Sister Frances Clare,
Eliza Barden; Sister Mary Walburga, Mar
garet Anders; Sister NJ. Bridget. Lizzie Nc
Golrick; Sister NJ. Mechtilda, Bessie Anders;
Sister NJ. Elizabeth, Ellie McGolrick; Sister
NJ. Angelica, Anastasia Dooley; Sister NJ.

for the purpose of taking the management of
or engaging in something that was equally
as important as the, st, Paul foun-
dry, but refuses to make known
the nature of the enterprise.
1t is known, however, tina: Mr.. Charles
Parker has leased for five years of the North
ern Pacific road it's foundry at Brainerd, and
that he has also entered into contract to do
the work of that road for five years. AS Mr..
Parker and Mr. Topping are old friends, and
as both have been engaged in the same bust
ness and with the same corporation, it is not
unreasonable to conclude that Mr.. Topping
will go to Brainerd to take the management
of that foundry. He is man of great push
and energy and is well calculated to take
hold of just such an institution as this foun-
dry. Mr.. Parker has been identified in st.
Paul with the foundry business
for the past twelve years and was presi-
dent of the old st. Paul Foundry & Manu-
featuring company up to the time he sold
out, year and half ago.

Thousands Upon Thousands!!!

By relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely pulled up doctor or
patent medicine has fastened thousands to
their graves: the readers having almost in
sane faith that the same miracle will be per-
formed on them, that these testi-
monials mention, while the so-called
medicine is all the time fastening them
to their graves. Although we have
of testimonials of the most wonderful cures,
voluntarily sent US, we do not publish them,
as they do not make the cures. 1t is our
medicine, Hop Bitters, that makes the cures.
1t has never failed and never can. We will
give reference 70 anyone for any disease
similar to their own if desired, or will refer
