He singled out Italy as tha-sountry which
showed itself the most inimical to the
church and suggested the idea of periodi-

Another important topic was furnished
the assembly by the project Of the SO
called Leo house, TO be founded in New
York for the benefit of Catholic immi-
grants. In honor Of the pope's jubilee.
Interesting was also the parade which,
on Sunday, the 2d. took place in connec-
ton with the double convention, and was
participated in by at least $4,000 people
Particularly interesting In the parade
were the knights Of st. George In their
knightly armor, with a red cross upon
their breasts. They vividly suggested
the Crusaders Of former centuries.
The principal speech Of the occasion was
made by DR.. August Kaiser. the president

viewed the present state Of the Catholic

she still continues. She came to St. Paul
in 1885, or fifty-thrce years ago, and de-
scribes the place at that time as an Indian
village. Then not house was visible.
Large elm trees grew upon the bottoms
near the river, while where the city
now is were running streams, ravines,
lakes, bubbling brooks, and thick
growth of trees and underbrush. Indian
wigwnns were the only evidences of life,
and the whoops Of the savages echoed
through the forest. She has lived to see
the place grow to city Of upward of
100000 inhabitants, and yet she is more
of stranger now than she was in 1885.
Her first husband was musician-that
is. fiddler-who died years ago. Her
second husband Is BOW 50 years old, and
is well of, residing IN Oregon, but from
some cause or other she will not hive with
him, but prefers to support herself.
She was there at the first treaty with

Mrs Latturelle Is tall woman, with a

prominent nose, a bright, penetrating
eye, having never used glasses, and her
vision is so keea she can SEQ across the

ment, stands erect. and when in eonver-
sation her face, though wrinkled, is very
expressive. Her upper teeth are gone,
and she has few struggling lower ones.
She had two CONS in the Union army, but
both are still living. She never had n

toiled, and Is now tugging and toiling,
waiting for the Ferryman to row her
across the river into the better land.
