this is great news all around" The people
OF Minnesota have been eagerly waiting for
this development, and there was general re-
}jolcing in Catholic circles last evening. The
clergymen honored with promotion are well
known in ecclesiastical circles throughout
the Northwest, and have all given material
aid in vChristianizng and humanizing this
part IF the country They have been untir-
ing in good works, are universally esteemed,
and their promotion is highly deserved.
Father Stanley of St. Paul is in the prime
of life, being about thirty-seven years OF
age. He was born in Western New York
and finished his theological education at
Rome, after having studied at the St James
university in this state and at Girardeau,
Mo- He was ordained in 1875 and immedi-
ately came to st. Paul, where he has since
remained in charge of the cathedral He has
been a successful worker, enthusiastic in his
calling and beloved by his people, and in his
new field of action will undoubtedly
be as successful as he has been
here. He will leave very much re-
GREETED by his parishioners, but with
their best wishes. His residence will be at
Jamestown. N. D. The Jamestown diocese
comprises all North Dakota, and that of
Sioux Falls all South Dakota The diocese
Of Winona takes in the southern part OF Min
nesota,- hitherto part of the st. Paul do
cese. The dioceses of ST. Cloud and OF ,Du-
luth comprise the greater part of Northern
Minnesota but their boundaries are not;as
yet definitely known here. That territory
has in recent years been the scene of special
ecclesiastical activity, and the growth of the
church has been marvellous. Bishop Seiden-
busch, with his residence at st. Cloud, has
lad charge of this territory, but last year he
resigned or account Of Ill health.
So soon as official briefs have been re-
ceived from Rome the date Of conservation
of the new bishops will be fixed This will

McGorick was received in Minneapolis with

The good priest has multitude of warm
