Grace, Bishop McGoirick, who, upon
rising to respond, was received with
storm of applause. In his address he
showed himself at ease and Eat home, :
and his witty and pointed remarks were
listened to with the greatest interest by
those present from every section. Re-
| ferring to an article which had but re.
Gently appeared in daily paper pub
lished IN Minneapolis. he said that for
a period of over twenty years the peo-
pie Of that city had praised him for his
unceasing labor in the cause of human
ity, for the advancement of education
and the general welfare Of all the resi-.
dents of that city. but within the last
few weeks, since coming to Duluth, as
you have probably seen by the morning
papers, am set down as an enemy.
Since coming to this city have been
stigmatized as trying to keep you in
ignorance and let you know nothing of
the sciences and Scriptures, that l
might the better ride rough shod over
you. After making this ia Sc and un-
scrupulous statement the writer in the
Minneapolis paper referred to, goes on
further to regret that the Pope in Rome
had written him letter compelling him
to make a change Of course. How alb
surd and ridiculous this must sound to
all fair minded people. There was
vein of sarcasm running through the
Bishops words when he pleasantly
warned his hearers that the time was
coming when he might rise from his
bed at night and cut the throat OF every
Protestant. Dreadful evils are pending
and sad naisfortunes are roaming over
the whole country, say these enemies of
the Church IN their zsal to defame her.
In closing be thanked the people of
Duluth, both Catholic and non- Catholic,
who have been so loving and attentive
to his wants since coming to this city,
and to the Hibernians he added. ''You
have my warm and hearty cooperation
and blessing in your work. Conclud-
ing, His Grace referred to Tuesdays
weather as not s'honest" Duluth wea-
ther, and hoped for better the following
day, in order that the delegates might
see the city at it's best. He said he was
an honest real estate s'boomer," too,
and would advise all non-residents
having monev in their pockets or in
banks at home to invest in Duluth real
estate.

sponded to by E. j. Darragh, of St.
Paul, young man of much promise.
With a delivery distinct and pleasing,
and q subject that he handled in an in
teresting and masterlv manner, Mr..
Darragh drew the closest attention of
the large audience, and his effort was

1.-The Day I Left Ireland . composed
and sung at the entertainment by S. A.
Thompson. was so we'll received that he
was compelled to respond to hearty
recall.
Pierce Butler, of st. Paul, considered
the Order and the benefits TO be de-
rived Gherefrom by joining it's ranks.
His speech was one Of the gems Of the.
occasion. The audience was not back

Master Tommy Chalmers, for one of
his age, cannot be easily equalled. His
