you, for which We are sincerely thank
ful. We withdrew simply because we
could no longer continue community
of two Brothers. and we cannot at pres
ent send any more. When we accepted
the school We we're not prepared, but
made desperate effort to open in defer
ence to his Grace, the Archbishop, with
the hope that after a lew months we
could increase the number of Brothers.
This we were not in position to do, and
cannot do even at the present time. But,
as said in former note, when We have
the Brothers we shall return to Mime
apo;is. You have not, Rev, Father,
asked me for this note, ut in justice to
you and ourselves, judged it expedient
to send it, that it may aid in preventing
parties from making false accusations.

Had the Brothers based their with

HOLY ROSARY CHURCH SERVICES

RELIGIOUS Harvest Festival At Holy Rosary
Church.
Solemn high mass was celebrated last
Wednesday morning at o'clock at the
Holy Rosary church. This church
is the Catholic center Of
East and South Minneapolis, and
consequently the attendance was very
large. The handsome edifca was filled
TO its utmost capacity. The mus ical
part of the service was grand IN the ex
treme. The Holy Rosary quartet, com.
posed of Miss ANNE O'Brien, Miss
Nellie O'Brien and Will Dibb, rendered
La Hask's grand 'Missa Pro Pace" as
sisted by carefully selected choir.
One of the most striking features Of
the service was the intonilg Of hymns
of Thanksgiving by the surp]iced choir
of 60 altar boys, the refrain being taken
up by a grand choir of about 500 chill
dren's voices. The effect was magni-
ficent. Solo offartories were sung by
Miss Annie OBrlen and Mr.. Dlbb.
The singing of the Te Deum by the
chiIdren's choir of hundreds Of fresh
young vti,es was another pleasing
feature Of the service.
The solemn high service was cele-
brated by Rev. Fir. B. a. Ennis, cele-
DRAFTED by Rev. FIR. B. A. Ennis, cele
brant, with Rev. r. M, Bloomer, dea-
con, and Rev. FL. McGil', sub-deacon.
The sermon was delivered by very
kev. FIR. r. Nj. BlOOmer.

There are forty rooms on each side of

TWO STOKES OF SHERIDAN.
How He Was Made Ridiculous

How He Was Made Ridiculous
His Idea of just Retribution.
Boston Herald.
Two good stories of Gen. Sheridan
were told me the other day by a Mex
lean gentleman, an intimate friend of
the great Northern soldier in his life
time. One day, calling OH the COM
mander of the Army of the Union at his
| office in Washington, he found the hero
of Winchester at his desk, his feet en-
cased in slippers, and his shoes demo-
cratlcally placed OH top of the desk
While the general was apparently alb
sorbed in some writing, the Mexican
gentleman, who thought some servant
had left the warriors shoes in the
wrong place, took his cane and gently
deposited the shoes on the floor.
The next day the Mexican gentleman
called again on Sheridan and found him
at his desk, shoes on top as before. The
polite resident of the tropics began once
more removing the shoes to the floor,
when. all at once, Sheridan roared out:
Don't you do that again, sir! You
make me ridiculous. SRI"
Il beg your pardon, general, but how
have | made you ridiculous?"
why. SIR" said Sheridan, still an
noyed; yesterday, sir, l went out to
walk after you had called on me. l was
nearing the White house, when 1 no.
ticed gentleman looking at me in
tently. Soon he addressed me, saying:
Excuse me, general, but aren't you
afraid of catching cold?' why, sir, no,
not that / know of; what's the
matter, STRIP 'Well,' said the gen.
tleman. lit is very damp and you
are going about in your slippersP
tell you, sir" said Sheridan, address
ing his Mexican friend, You made me
ridiculous. 1t is my habit, sir, to put
! my shoes on my desk where / cannot
fail to see them so | may not forget to
put them on, and, confound it, sir. you
come around here with your notions of
pr0prety and send me around town in
my slippers. sir"
The other Sheridan story is Of a con-
verSatiOn between Sheridan, Tom GChil-
tree and the Mexican gentleman. They
were at San Antonio. Tex, and the con-
versation fell on the possibility of an
other war with Mexico.
do you think we could whip Mex
ico?" asked the redoubtable Tom.
Can ton crush a pound?" senten-
tiously replied Sheridan, and then it
was discussed what terms the victor
! might demand. whether there would be
partition of Mexico, etc.
Sheridan grew I'm patient, for he was
always warm friend of the Mexican
people, and war with them would not at
all have suited him, so he blazed out:
Gentlemen, in case of war with
Mexico, which God forbid, and in case
we were victorious, | would not spare
Mexico; no sirl l would impose condi-
tons of the most onerous sort; would
infiict a fearful penalty on Mexico,
something TO arouse the horror of man
kind"
"What would that be?" demanded his
now excited listeners.
Gentlemen" said the great soliier,
in his most solemn manner, II would
demand of Mexico that she take back
Texas"
This recalls the anecdote of Gen.
Sherman, who said that the United
| States should fight one more war with
Mexico, to make her receive back New
Mexico and AriZonaI

EATING THE "REsPECT."
An Incident OF the Boyhood OF
Heine. the Celebrated Poet.

An Incident OF the Boyhood of
Heine, the Celebrated Poet.
The mother of Heinrich Heine, the
poet. was particularly careful about
matters of etiquette, and her boys were
brought up with great strictness and
occasional severity. Among other
things she was extremely decided in her
ideas of table etiquette, and her chill
dren's manners in that regard we rethen
hought quite irreproachable.
They were taught when they were
guests at table never to eat all the
food which was put on their plates; a
portion must always be left ''for re-
spect," so their mother said. Also,
they must never take more than a Ger
tain fixed amount of Sugarin their cups
OF coffee, no matter what the cravings
for it might be.
The last rule was great trial to Maxi
milan, Heinrich's younger brother, who
had a particularly sweet TOOTH"
On one occasion, relates the Youths
Companion, Frau Heine and her chill
dren were at a garden restaurant in the
suburbs of the city, and had been en-
iOying the fresh air ana good coffee at
the same time. AS they rose to leave
the table, Max, then seven years old,
saw that large and tempting piece of
sugar had been left in the bowl. Think
ing himself unobserved, he quickly
seized it and put it in his mouth.
Unfortunately for him, he had been
noticed by Heinrich, who, without mean
ing TO be tale bearer, ran to his mother
with an expression of horror on his face,
as if he expected some calamity would
instantly befall them, and said, in a
shocked and astounded tone:
"Oh, mother, mother, would you be-
lieye it? Max has eaten the respectw

HOT DEBATE AT OTTAWA.
Sir Hector Langevin Whitewashed
on n Vote.


OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 24.-The great
est debate of the session will be con-
cluded in the early morning hours.
When a division is taken Sir Hector
Langevin, eX-minister of public works.
will be whitewashed for his alleged
completely in the public scandals arts
ing from the award of contracts in his
department. The government majority
will probably be twenty-five. This
means the adoption Of the majority re-
port. The debate was resumed this after
noon by Sir AdOlphe Caron, who defend
ed Sir Hector from the asperSions cast
upon him by the report OF the Opposi-
ton leader. Hon. Wilfred Laurier the
Liberal leader, followed in two hours
speech. He reviewed all the evidence
and said that he regretted that all the
charges had been sustained, rejecting
as they did upon the gentleman who
represented the French-Canadian race.
Dalton Mccarthy. conservative. but
Protestant equal Fighter, followed.
He arraigned Mr.. Laurier for insinuat-
ing that the late Sir John Macdonald
had boosted of carrying elections with
the peoples money. Mr.. Laurier, he
thought, should apologize for misquOt-
ing statements and rejecting upon
Tie CHARACTER Ol lile uPcehSeQ
statesman. He accused Laurier with
having barganed and sold himself to
Hon. Afercier, premier of Quebec, and
promising in return for Mercier's sup
port to aid in raid on the dominion
treasury in behalf of the Quebec PROV
ince. Hon. Laurier eXcitedly denied
the accusation, and for few minutes
great uprOar prevailed.
In conclusion. Mr.. Mccarthy moved
an amendment generating Sir Hector
from personal corruption but declaring
that Sir Hector's conduct merted the
censure of the house. as the minister of
public works was party to the spolia-
ton of the treasury. The amendment
further declared that Contract
ors Nicholas and Michael Connolly
should be indicted for perjury. n. +.
Davis. NJ. p, supported Mr.. Mccarthy,
declaring that Langevin was either cor
rupt or an imbecile.
The adoption of the minority report
of the privileges and elections commit
tee finding eX-Minister of Public Works
Langevin guilty of completely in bood-
ling practices was lost on vote of So
