TERRY's TRIP TO DULUTH.
He Sells Over $lOO Worth of Tickets on
the Lot Donated by James A. BYrnes
to the Minneapolis Orphans.

/
Editor IRISH STANDARD:
l want to tell you about the generous
treatment received from the people of
Duluth. I went there last week to sell
shares on the lot at the new stock yards
for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum.
The first gentleman I visited was con
Quoting q large business. | could see
that every minute was valuable, his
office being full Of people anxious to
see him. I.explained the object Of nv
visit, and told him Of the financial con-
dition OF our Orphan ASYLUM. He
listened us attenliyely as if I were tell
ing him Of some plan whereby he could
make hundred thousand dollars. He
considered few seconds; then, turning
to the gentlemen waiting, said, Excuse
me until four o'clock, l must hustle
around for while for the orphans down
in Minneapolis" He afterwards took
me to another gentleman, whose place
of business Indicated that his time was
valuable and In great demand, but he
dropped everything and entered into
the sale Of tickets withsa vim. Isnever
knew that there was such generous,
warm hearted people in the world as /
met IN the Zenith city They seemed
really delighted to have'an opportunity
Of reaching out helping hand to our
orphans. 8
1 met with the 40. II. Society, and
when l explained to them my mission
to them you could see the generous
beam in every face, and in less time
than it takes to tell they voted a goodlY
sum for the orphans. The 40. FL. Of
Duluth are certainly very intelligent
and creditable body of middle-aged and
young men. / never felt SO proud OF
being an Irish-American as when look
ing around upon the young men assem-
bled there.
On Sunday 1 attended Mass at Sacred
Heart Church, and while listening to
the earnest and. eloquent discourse Of
Rev. Father Corbett, it was very graft
flying to know that be was a Mime
apolis boy, and that he was prepared
for college and received his first and
strongest impressions Of the great re-
sponsibilities and need Of earnesft aith-
full work in the priesthood from our
honored pastor Father MEG olrick. I
am very glad to see that FIR. Corbett is
among people who appreciate his
earnest efforts in doing good.
In conclusion, I will say shall never
forget the good hearted men and women
OF Duluth. and when / attain nv ma
jointly if5any of those gentlemen who
took me by the hand with such extreme
kindness while soliciting charity is
nominated for President or congress on
the right side, they can count on me
through the whole siege-I will hustle
for them. Respectfully,
TERRY, JR.

Canton.

Special correspondence Of the Irish Standard
Our village schools began Monday
with J. d. Stout as principal and Efie
Mason as primary instructor. About
70 scholars were enrolled in both depart
ments. They are both teachers of ex-
perience and it is expected that Canton
will have good school this year. The
Grammar department expects to be able
to take in about fifteen from outside the
district.
One of the largest farmers perhaps
who are descendants Of the Emerald
Isle in this county is M. Gagen Of Bic
ford, Houston County, Mimi. Heowns
and manages at the present day about
400 acres of land, we'll timbered, we'll
watered and we'll stocked with horses,
cattle and hogs. Perhaps the most
thorough as we'll as the best posted
business man of Irish lienage in this
county is M. Scanlan, Of Lanesboro,
Mimi.
The Canton Herald under the man
agement of Dan Gagen, is progressing
nicely. Although it has not been in
existence longer than four months, it
now boasts of a substantial little circu-
lation of not more than three hundred.
The Mabel Enterprise and Canton
Herald are both printed in the same
office and the towns are situated at
distance from each other Of about twelve
miles,. There is perhaps no two papers
in the state run off in this manner and SO
economically. The writing IS all done
at Canton. the printing at Mabel, and
the addressing and mailing done in the
former place.

Queen Victoria as Second Hand Dealer.
The London correspondent of the
Cork Examiner tells the following Of
Her Majesty's business tact:
I'm connection with the discussion
on the grants to the royal family some
interesting particulars have been pub
lished as to the manner in which the
( Queen treated the sculptor Foley. who
was commissioned to execute one Of
the sculptures at the base of the Albert
Memorial. The Queen desired him to
design the model of the edigy of Prince
Albert, which crowns the memorial,
agreeing to pay him the sum of $4,000
when the work was completed and in
it's place. The snm was paid, as is
usual in such cases, by equal install
ments. From the fourth instalment,
which was paid Foley's executors on
his death. the Queen deducted the sum
of 1850 for old cannon, which she
sent to be used in the founding of the
statue, but which Foley would not use.
as he considered 1t would spoil his
work. This useless metal was sub
sequently sold at the auction of Foley's
effects for a merely nominal sum.
Foley's sisters, who are left badly pro-
vided for, have reason to remember this
almost unparalleled act on the part of
the Queen" It adds the finishing
touch to this incident to know that
the old cannon, for which the Queen
charged the sculptor $4,000, VI ere part
of her royal perquisites, and did not
cost her cent in the first place.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

II can scarcely be doubted that the
question of extending the right of suffrage
to the women of the territory will be sub.

at the Forthcoming election. 1t Ia appar-

Rretted, however. that the women of the
territory could not themselves be heard
upon the subject at the same time, al
though this would perhaps be impractic-
able. One of the principal arguments
against suffrage and ons that largely in
fnences the better element of male
voters ia that the women themselves
do not desire to POSSESS the franchise, and
that it should not be thrust upon unwill-
ing recipients. That there is much apathy
on the part Of most women cannot be
questioned. Although the occasion
ia near at haod when the question
must be met and determined the
women of the territory are making no ef-
fort to influence voters. and if any effort
was exerted by them In the selection of
delegates TO the constitutional convention
1t was an influence that was exceedingly

TIE EFFECT OF THIS CONTEST

The, recent scramble for strength suf-
fcient to guarantee the ascendency in the
Oregon & Transcontinental has been
watched with interest in all parts of
the Northwest. as it is generally supposed
the success of Willard may prevent or re-
tard the building of some of the branch
lines now in progress or contemplation.
Upon this, however. there is some differ
ence of opinion. Willard used to be a
strong believer in the development of the
country and towns upon which railroads
depend for traffic and a. he is interested in
both the Northern and o. X. 4 N, and as
the proposed feeders are needed In counec.
tion with the two roads, it is difficult to
see why he should oppose their construc.
tion. II may be that in some cases the
proposed new road may DO looked upon az
competitive, but this can scarcely be said
OF the line between this city and Rock.
ford. This Ia piece of road
that will prove beneficial to
both the Northern and the
o. X. q NJ, and as it IL reasonably sure to
be constructed at an early date oy one
company or the other, II is not perceived
that Spokane Falls has any direct concern
in this controversy. This Rockford road
could. in fact, be easily built by Spokane
capital, and If the rival companies show
any disposition to falter In its Immediate
construction, local company will
likely build this road within the
next six months and operate it
As an independent line. allowing the
larger companies TO compete for its traffic.
This part Of the dispute is one easily
solved. The line bet tween this city and
