afternoon with appropriate ceremonies
and under particularly pleasing and
suspicious circum stances. The day
was glorious one, and a large throng
of people gathered upon the spacious
grounds, and quietly awaited the eXer-
ciSeS. at 1870 o'clock Bishop McGol-

ley, of ST Anthony Of Padua parish;
Father Christie, of North MINNEAPOLIS

Stephens parish: Father Bl0omer. Of
Holy Rosary parish. Preliminary to
the ceremony Bishop McGolrick de-
Iivered an address, speaking for about
twenty minutes in his earnest, fOrcibe
manner. He evidently saw in the occa-
sion a rebuke to certain reflections
that have been cast upon Catholicism
and in a quiet but pointed way called
attention to the practical illustration
afforded of the care exercised by the
church he represented for suffering hu-
mainly At the conclusion of his re-
marks the bishop proceeded to bless the
stone, and lay it in accordance with the
rites of the church, concluding with
prayer, during which the peo-
pie reverently knelt. and when
he had finished they dispersed.

be torn down and replaced by struc-
ture which will combine the two wings,
and make one solid and substantial
hospital building, The wing now in
construction will cost about 900, and
will be thoroughly equipped with
every modern convenience. The
hospital, which was placed in the
charge of the Sisters of st. Joseph

corded the Sisters of st. Joseph

skill with which the sick have been
cared for, while it has done an i'm
mense amount of good among the
worthy sick and afflicted without means
to pay for medical treatment. When
