POWER OF LIQUOR.
Father Cieary's Words of Wisdom
on Il Burning Topic.

Father Cieary'S Words of Wisdom
on Burning Topic.
The audience at Griffin hall last even
ing to hear Father Cleary's lecture upon
the Memories of Father Mathew" was
large and representative. The reverand
speaker disclosed that because of
Father Mathews loving the energy to
undertake such work so late in life,
he must be reckoned a hero. His sue
cess was not due to the peculiar
nature of the Irish people. since
English, Scotch and Americans were
all convinced by eloquence. Nor was
it true that the drink evil was any
worse at that particular time. In fact,
liquor exercised much greater infiu-
ence to-day than in Father Mathews
time. Liquor men had not then COM
bIned to make and unmake governors
and presidents. II had not then begun
to threaten the pulpit. He dwelt upon
the utter impossibility of ever righting
the labor question while the saloon ex-
erciSed the influence 1t now did. To
the laborer one of the worst features
was the fearful waste of time. He
closed with an appeal to all to follow in
the footsteps of Father Mathew.
On the stage were Archbishop Ire
land, Bishop Stanley. Fathers Heffron,
Lawler, Gibbons, Fleming, Shields.
Illig, Casey, of st. Paul, ana Lorigan, of
Stevens Point, Wis; Misses Mcclure,
O,Reilly and McGee, and President
Cartridge, of the Archdlocesan Temper
ance association, who acted as chair
man.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Stanley was called
upon after Father Cleary's address, and
the great advantage possessed by the
North Dakotians over the people of
Minnesota because of having prohibit
tion in the former state.

and Wabasha street, enriched. The
building was erected last year by P;
T. Kavanagh on ground leased
OF the Catholic authorities, and
is a massive structure, five stories in
height, and extending for the full half
block on either street. Before it was
under roof, Schuneman IL Evans began
negotiations for the lease, which was
finally executed in the past spring. The
work of completion required consider
able time, and, though Sept. l was
placed as the date of removal, it was not
until last week that the transfer of stock
from the Third street store was begun.
1t was a tremendous undertaking, and,
though remarkable dispatch was used,
the building is so commOdiOuS and the
STOCK so large that a few days must
yet elapse before the arrangements are
complete. 1t is the intention of the
firm to have the formal opening on Sat
urday, when music will be in attend
ance and the building handsomely
decorated for the occasion.
Yesterday morning the store was
thrown open to the public for the first
time. and it is needless to say it was
thronged all day long. The first floor
is complete in its arrangement and
gives promise of what the entire build
ing will be when entirely displayed.
The finish, decorations, lighting and
modern conveniences are complete, and
the elevator service and system of cash
railways are models of their class. In
arrangement, the building is divided as
follows:
Basement-China, glassware, art goods,
house furnishings and leather goods.
First Floor-Dry goods, notions, boots and
shoes, druggists sundries, fancy goods,
mems furnishing goods, books and station
ery and candy departments.
second Floor-Cloaks and wraps, millinery,
ladies' furnishing goods boys clothing, etc.
Third Floor-Drapery andrug departments,
curtains, hangings, etc.
Fourth Floor-FuTniture and heavy goods.
Fifth Floor-Reserve stock department.
This is sufficient to indicate the eX-
tent and general character of the es-
adjustment, which is without Qualifica-
ton the largest of its class in the West.
In general arrangement it reminds one
of Marshall Fields emporium of Chi
cago. though in plan and style it is
more after the pattern of the Fair of
the same city. There can be no doubt
of the success of the plan or of the UNI
dertaking. St. Paul is never slow to
appreciate and reward enterprise in a
commercial line, and the GLOBE pre-
diets phenomenal success for this
new venture.
