The Norwegian Catholic Priest.


Rev. Father Erik A. Wang, of Chris
tiania, Norway, who lectured at Dania
hall last Wednesday evening on ttCath.
olicism and Professionalism, is one of
the four Norwegian Catholic priests in
the whole world, and while youn g
man, being only thirty years of age,
has been in nearly every country on the
globe. He was born at KongsvingeI,
Norway, in 1859, of Catholic parents,
and at an early age evinced DISPOSE
ton to teach his fellow countrymen the
word of God, His parents had be-
come converted to Catholicism in
Copenhagen some years before his birth,
and when he made known his desire to
study for the priest hood they aided him
in every way. When he was yet under
age he went to Rome, and there stud
led for eight years in company with
some of the most celebrated priests of
the present age.
The four Norwegian priests, of which
Rev. Fr. Wang is the Youngest, are
Father Stub. Of Bergen; Father Shiel-
ing, of Belgium, and Father Holfeldt
Houen, of Norway. The latter is in
his xty-eighth year, and confirmed
invalid. Rev. Father Wang is some

The Catholic Orphanage.

Last Tuesday evening a meeting Of
the board of managers OF the Catholic
orphan asYlum was held at Father
McGo]ricka residence. The usua! bus
mess was transacted, and bills aggre-
eating $3.50 were audited and ordered
paid. The annual report for 1888, pre-
pared by MIR. VIM. MCMILLAN and Mr..
Chas. 2. Preston, was read and ordered
published in q circular for She informa.
ton OF the patrons of the asylum. The
report showed the receipts for 1855 to
be $6>549S4 and the disbursements
6,229 SO. n vote OF thanks was ten
dered Messrs. MCMILLAN and Preston
for tier kindness in compiling the an.
nual report.
The members Of the board will visit
the asylum in body on the afternoon
of Thursday, the 2lst, and they are re-
quested to meet at Father McGolrick Is
at two o'clock that day. The member
ship OF the orphan association is grad.
ually increasing, fourteen having paid
their So annual fee since the beginning
of the year. Ladies and gentlemen
who are inclined to be charitable can.
not perform a more meritorious work
than to support the orphanage by en-
rolling themselves as members of the
orphan association.
THE IRISH STANDARD regrets to say
that the friends Of the Door orphans are
not SO numerous in this city as they
ought to be. 4 good many pious men
and women are too selfish to care for
any one but themselves; and if they give
few cents every year at the orphan
fair they imagine they have nobly done
their duty. In our opinion if they
prayed less selhshly and exercised more
charity towards the poor and friendless
their reward would be greater hereafter
Let us hope that the good people OF
Minneapolis will! take more interest in
the welfare Of the little orphans than
they have hitherto done. The best
thing for them to do is to become mem
bers of the orphan asylum association.
The members of the board Of directors
will take the names of those who wish
to join the association on the payment
of 81 year.

Funny Things in Court.

AS funny a thing as ever occurred in
court hap pened at Napoleon, Ohio, be-
fore Judge Potter and jury. A case
was on trial, and an outsider seated
himself Oh one of ths pancheons at the
far end Of the panel of jurors, there be-
ing no other available seat. When the
defendants counsel arose to ADDRESS the
Jury he scanned the face OF each very
closely, and naturally his gaze was di-
rected to the furtherest man from him,
who didn't happen to be juror at all.
Glaring at him be began:
"Gentlemen of the jury, I want to
know what this man referring to plain
tiff in the easel has come into court for?
What is his business !? What right has
he here! What is he seeking for?
Again 1 repeat, gentlemen of the jury,
why is he here? ''
The countryman imagined that the
question had direct reference to himself
and when the lawyer paused to give
due weight and emphasis to the CUES
ton, he jumped to his feet and howled:
:What am l here for, you cross eyed
cock of the walk What am l seeking
for in this here court2 I'll tell you
in short order, you weazen faced old
son of a gun. I've been here three
DAYS a waitin' for my fees, and marry a
red kin + git. Pay me my witness fees,
sir, and I'll git out of here immedi-
ately."
This unexpected Grafton brought
down the house, and the LAWYER never
finished his able argument.
