strong, handsome face of Archbishop
Ireland. resolnte, yet full Of grace and
llberallty, seemed to lend It's controlling
influence to both clergy and audience.
Many who had never seen or heard the
noted archbishop, had their expecta
tlons more Than realized by the power
full sermon delivered during the cere-
mony. Bishops Cotter and McGolrick
added their presence to the distinguishes
ed group Of Catholic leaders. Some
twenty priests, the soldiers of the battle,
the workers on the Out-pOsts, who as
sembled around. filled out and COM
pleted the attendance Of clergy.
The music was excellent, the chair
possessing several voices of unusual
clearness and power !.
Bishop Marty spoke few words of
an historical nature, concerning the
assumption of the north half OF his
territory by the new bishop. He re-
ferred to the early date at which he
came to Dakota and the changes he
wrought. His relinquishmept Of a
portion Of his growing diocese was
done with the kindest Of reco]lections
and hearty God speed to the efforts OF
the new bishop, ON whose shoulders
the work, although yet equally as i'm
portant, now iaY. The beloved Bishop
Marty is known to a large number of
the pioneers aud old citzsus. many Of
whom were watching him from tine
audience seats
Archbishop Ireland's address was
replete with facts and statements of a
most satisfactory kind to the interests
he represents. He is so widely known
to the people OF the north west as a gift
ed, liberal and eloquent man, that it
was with the greatest OF pleasure the
audience anticipated his remarks. No
report other tnan stenosraphlc can do
Justice to the address. He said that in
1851 a diocese was established at ST.
Paul in log house, while there were
but three or four thousand white men
throughout the country, from Minnesota
to tho Missouri river, He spoke of the
marvellous growth of that diocese
Starting with one bishop AMI three
priests, it numbers now SIX dioceses,
three hundred and fifty priests aud a
large population. The cross Of that or
ganization had been planted everywhere
in the northwest. Tae contrast with
the organization Of the Jamestown
diocese was remarkable.
The archbishop spoke feeling'y Of
losing the comp mpanionshlp and labors Of
his friend 3fstop Stanley, who had
been associated with him for oyer six
teen years. He gave the new bish %
words of high praise for faithfulness
and ability and presented him to the
diocese with confidence as to the result
Of his labors.
The arch bishop thanked the people OF
jamestown for the cordial greeting and
warm welcome they had given the
bishop; such a greeting would almost
make man forget the friends Of old
times. IL

event will be long remembered as one
OF the most Important in the church
and civil history OF the new state.
