Dakota, by his friends last night, was
most fitting honor to that distinguished
prelate. 1t was an occasion for the as
semblage of some of the most promi-
nent Irisll-Americans of this country to
pay their respects to worthy man, and
was characterized by graceful tribute
to his merits, regrets for his departure
from their midst, ard wishes of God
speed in the new field of labor incident
to his recent elevation to the bish0pric.
The participants began to arrive at
the Windsor hotel parlors as early as 8
O'Clock and passed the time until 10,
when c. d. O'Bren took the arm of
Bishop Stanley, and followed by Arch
bishop Ireland and GOV. Merriam,
in double column behind, proceeded
TO the dining room and were soon sur
rounding the tables.
Those sitting at the head table were
Archbishop John Ireland; on his right,
G. ID. O'Brien, Esq. Bishop Snanley,
Judge Morrison, Father Conway. Judge
Egan and William F. Murray; on the left
of Archbishop Ireland were Gov. Mer-
riam, Hon. IgnatIus Donnellv, d. w.
LAWYER and several of the clergy.
Three other tables ranged at right

seated nearly hundred of the clergy
and laymen, among the latter being
several colOred men.
The table, service and menu were up
TO the best standard of the popular
Windsor hostelry.
A PLEASANT REMINDER.
At II o'clock Z. ID. O'Brien. acting as
master of ceremonies, asked for the at
tention of the gentlemen preSent.and in
most touching speech referred to the
removal of Bishop Stanley from ST.
Paul and the elevation that called him to
his new field at jamestown. Oak. He
said he was commissioned by friends
In st. Paul to tender the beloved guest
of the evening some tribute of their
high regard for his stainless purity and
how they loved the pastor they We're
about to lose: but that they were sub
mIssive TO the loss, as he belonged to
God. Then, i'll the name of those
who reyered him as beloved
father, he handed him, as
a reminder of their regard, a
check for $4,000. When Rt. Rev. John
Shanly arose to respond his eyes were
filled with tears. He said it was diff
hcult task to make response TO such an
address as the spokesman of his friends
had uttered: ''Tbere are certain strings
OF the human heart that cannot be
played upon too strongly. Mr..
OBrien has touched those
strings Of my heart, so as 10 almost in
capacitate me from replying" The
bishop, continuing, referred to his six

which time his people had always been

cause he could and would often
come back to see his friends. And in
gOed-natured way he said that they had
placed themselves in position by the
Offering o. the evening to be appealed
to in the future to assist him in the
work of extending the church in his
new field of labor.
ToASTS OF THE EVENING.
The first toast of the evening was
"Ihe Commonwealth of Minnesota" to
which Gov. w. Il. Merriam responded.
after first paying flattering tribute to
the Catholic church, Bishop Stanley
and to Archbishop Ireland personally
and to the work done in the civiliza-
ton and building up of the Northwest.
His reference to Bishop Stanley as
young man to receive the honors of elec-
ton to his present position and that
this is an era of young men, was re-
ceived with applause.
Archbishop Ireland was next called
upon for an address. An attempt to
outline this address would be to give it
in its entirety, together with the per-
SOnal presence of the man, to convey
the full pGrport of his thoughts as they
were presented. He spoke of the
union of pastor and people in
general, and of Bishop Shanly and
his parish in particular. During
the sixteen years of his service in st.
Paul, as Father Stanley. he has given
every hour of the time TO the service of
his, church. and has earned the eleva-
ton to wider field. He said it is true
as has been SAID that the Roman Catho-
lie church has done much for st. Paul
and the Northwest. His exhortation
TO his laymen to be good citizens was a
mastery presentation of true character.
The next toast was "The Celt in
America" response by the Hon. Ig-
uatiouS Donnelly, who, with sterling
wit, graceful tribute and scholarly
reference to literature, entertained the
audience royalty. The sentiment, The
Priests Of the Cathedral Parish" was
responded to by Rev. c. Koebrel.
d. w. Lawler. Esq, responded to the
toast, The Catholic Laymen." "The
City of City of ST. Paul'' was the theme
of the toast proposed to Judge j. j.
Egan.
All of the addresses were heartily ap-
plauded. and the audience spersed
with regret that So good feast of wis
dom should so soon end and with wishes
for the future prosperity of the guest of
the evening.
