FATHER M'KENNA ON DIVORCE.

HOLY Rosary church was crowded
during the week to listen to the aole
addresses OF Rev. Father McKenna.
last Tuesday evening he spoke on di-
vorce to crowded house. Many peo-
pIe who went to the church were turned
away because they could not gain ad
mission, there being no standing room
left. Father McKenna showed In very
plain language how inconsistent with
the Bible were the divorces laws of the
present time. The Catholic Church al

bishop, no Pope dare to put asunder

as 1rreyocable as the bond between

an eloquent appeal to all men who love
their wives, sisters and daughters to be
true to their manhood, by uniting and
compelling the legislature to wipe out
the damnable laws which permit OF this
legalized CRIME against God, nature
and woulanhood. There were large
number of non- Catholics present who
took considerable interest in the ad-
dress.

Mrs. Thomas Condor, of Minneapolis,
has been the guest of Mrs. Dennis
Flaherty the past week.
A lawn festival was held Wednesday
evening on the grounds at st. Mary's
church. Refreshments were served by
the young ladies Of the Sacred Heart
society.
Miss Dollie McMullen, who has been
perfecting herself in vocal and instru-
mental music at Minneapolis, has re-
turned to Shakopee to spend the sum-
mer vacation.
Decoration day was generally observed
by the citizens of Shakopee. At one
O'Clock Weiland hall was filed by men,
bers OF the Ct A. r. and their friends.
Choice selections of patriotic music were
rendered. Rev. Father Gaughan, of st.
Mary's parish, delivered very eloquent
address, and spoke feelingly of the dead
heroes who sleep in uanumbered graves.
Rev. w. H. Ware, OF the Presbyterian
church of Pennington, also delivered an
appropriate address beftting the day,
and at the close of the exercises nearly
all present went to the cemetery with
flowers and wreaths to lay on the graves
of departed friends.
Miss Anna Corrigan, of Prior Lake,
and Mr.. Edward Lynch, Of Minneapolis,
were united in marriage Wednesday
morning, June 4, at St. Peters church,
Credit River. High Mass was celebrated
by Rev. Father Quinn. Miss Katie
Lynch. of Minneapolis, assisted the bride
and Mr.. Will Corrigan was groomsman.
The bride looked very pretty in gobelin
blue silk and cream roses. The brides
maid also looked charming il gown OF
the same shade. After the ceremony
the numerous friends of the bride and
groom partook of sumptuous dinner at
the home OF Mrs. Mary Corrigan, Mrs.
Lynch's mother, Upwards OF hundred
couples we're in attendance, aud the re-
mainders Of the day and evening was
spent in dancing, music, etc. Mrs.
Lynch was q great favorite with the
young folks Of Shakopee, as we'll as her
own home for miles around. Her we'd
ding presents were numerous and very
fine. Many friends from Minneapolis,
Shakopee and adjoining places were in
attendance. Mr.. Lynch is young man

dorsinR Mr.. Ives action. The man
vino enters another mans house BY
night goes there at the risk Of his life,
and will take life to escape being
caught. This notorious burglar had
been released from Saltwater but a few
days before he got shot. The time
served there seems to have only harden
ed his determination to do something
desperate. Burglary was his occupa-
tion, and he followed it too long for his
own good. Had he determined when
leaving the state prison to lead q res
pectable and honest life. he no doubt
might have turned out to be good
citizen. There are other men IN Min
neapolis who are deserving Of the same
fate that Frisble met, but they have 50
far escaped. They will, like him, enter
one house too many, and then they
will regret it when 1t is too late. We
cannot but feel under obligations to
MIR. Ives for his excellent work. He is
to be congratulated on his good marks
manship If he had failed to hit his
man, he, and not the burglar, would no
doubt have been the victim. There Is
too much of this indiscriminate plum
dering of houses by night, and 1t is to
be hoped that all other citizens whose
houses are broken into by burglars. will
initiate MIR. Ives; and if they do
Minneapolis will not harbor many of
these tough characters long. They viii!
find this climate too sultry for them
and will 20 where they can ply their
dangerous vocation with more safety.

NORTHWEST Review: The public
schools are supposed to be non ectarian
in the State of Wisconsin. AS con-
sequence the Catholics, while paying
their taxes to the Public Schools, sup
port Separate Catholic or Parochial
schools. The Supreme Court OF the
State decided recently that the Bible
could not be read in the Public schools.
and now the Protestant ministers
throughout the State are busy passing
condemnatory resolutions against the
non sectarian public schools. What
thew want is not a pro rata division OF
the school funds, but the whole of it to
teach Professionalism. The honesty of
those persons in Wisconsin are on a par
with their brethren in Manitoba. The
only difference is that the vandals in
Manitoba are supposed to be leRalized,
while in Wisconsin they are not. Hence
the howl.

some OF our rubber companies will find
it difficult to dispose of one-half Of their

themselves in similar position to what
the carriage dealers were in last winter
when they had no snow. Though the
latter offered their sleighs at cost they
found no buyers, and the result was
that some Of them found it difficult to
tide over the winter. July and August,
however, will make up for all this.

CHIEF STETsON' s recommendation to
prevent the covering up of water ny
drants on streets by property owners
and others, is a good one. Firemen
have no time to lose when they are

THE True Witness: In this issue we
give a,letter from the Pope to the Arch
bishop of Cologne. in which His Holiness
reveals the outlines Of new social pro-
gramme to meet the wants and aspira-
tons OF the times It Is evidently the
intention Of his Holiness that societies
of Catholic working psople should be
formed wherever possible. and that the
Bishops and clergy should take a practi-
cal part.in their promotion and direc-
ton. This method Of organization is.
His Holiness says. the surest remedy
against Socialism, because true Chris
tian principles will always form It's
basis. The Gospel of Christ is the

ING of the English language IN the parO

read the manifesto issued by the Cath
ole bishops Of that state. IN which trey
outlined their obj ections to the law. he
would not have been guilty OF mislnl
forming his hearers last Sunday. Ac-
cording TO the statement issued by
these bishops, the English language IS
taught in parochial schools several
weeks each year over and above the
time required by the law. When the
German Catholics Of Wisconsin met in
convention two weeks ago they showed
beyond the question Of doubt that
they were in sympathy with that clause
of the act relating to the study Of the
English language in the schools. II
they were opposed to this part Of the
act, they certainly would not have exA

Of sending the impression abroad that
the clause relating to the teaching Of
English in the schools is the objections.
able one Whereas no opposition comes
from Catholics on this point at all.
They hold, and justly, too, that the
state has no right to interfere with
private or parochial schools, when 1t
gives nothing to their support. Such
schools are private institutions. and the
state has no more legal right to inter-
fere with them than it has with private
hospitals. The Catholics OF Wisconsin
concede the state the right to regulate
state schools as it sees fit, but they hold
that any attempt on the part of tf1a
state to regulate private schools is I'M
constitutional. If the state has the
right to interfere with these schools,
then where is the freedom that we 60
boastfully point to in this country.
The law, among other things. saws that
children must attend the school in the
district in which they live. This is not
right. If child is DESTROYS OF attend

Is in the parish in which she lives, un-
der the law she must go to the public
school. We can bring the matter home
to those people better who send their
children to Bennett seminary in this
city. If such law as the Wisconsin
Bennett law existed in Minnesota, the
parents who now send their children to
Bennett seminary, and who do not live
in the district IN which that school is,
would be obliged to take their children
from Bennett seminary and send them
to the public school in their own dis.
trict. This no doubt would not please
these parents. They evidently think
that Bennett seminary is better than the
public schools. and consequently they
send their children there. We are sure
that any attempt on the part Of Mime
sofa to interfere with private schools
would be met with the strongest oppo

ENGLAND'S. CRUEL WARS.

In this country from time to time of
the terrible sufferings of the people in
upper Egypt which have been brought
about chiefly bv the British invaders
there. England's thirst for blood and
territory has swept that once beautiful
country of almost all the men, and the
few who are left cannot raise crops for
the multitude of widows and orphans
who are daily dying for want Of food.
England cares nothing for human life,
and it is no wonder that these unfor
tunate people are dying for want OF the
necessaries Of life. The latest London
cablegram on this shocking condi-
ton of affairs says: The most
appalling accounts are received OF the
sufferings of the people in upper Egypt
and along the scene Of the expedition
for the relief Of Gordon. 1t is said that
the inhabitants, driven desperate by
starvation. feed on each other, while all
kinds of animals, however loathsome.
are eagerly fought for for food. The
wretched people Sight with each
other for morsels, and hundreds are
perishing daily. Failure Of crops is
said to cause this awful misery, though
the wars in which British ambition
for territory has prominently 6gured,
have doubtless had their influence in
causing the failure OF the crops, Indeed,
it is said that the slaughter of tne male
population left the devastated region
without sufficient male labor to raise
the crops. 1t is also asserted that &C

same argument in enforcing coercion in
Ireland. Is 1T any wonder that these
Egyptians are starving? Not any, when
we como to consider the nation that is
trying to acquire territory there. The
Tory government Of England is com
posed of heartless aristocracy who
never con slder for the poor or the
needy, and who would rather spend a

than give penny to starving child in
