General News of the Day as
Gathered by ENJOYS Of
The Globe.

The second day OF the convention or
the ancient order of Hibernians
passed off pleasantly. There were
two business sessions, One in the
morning and one in the evening. The
afternoon was devoted to pleasure, the
delegates casting aside all parliament
airy routine and devoting themselves to
seeing the sights in the most beautiful
summer city in America. The Henne-
pin county delegates very generously
offered carriage excursion, AMI the
entire convention accepted it with mag
unanimous unanimity. At 2 o'clock,
after one and all bad satisfied the inner
man with dinner delicacieS, they con-
gregated before the Nicollet house,
where three scores of carriages were in
waiting. Every one WAS filled, nearly
800 prominent IriShmen participating
in the ride. The procession left the
NicOllct house. and.after traverSing the
crowded NicOllet avenue as far as Tenth
street, it proceeded up Harmon place
to Loring park. and then branched out
to KenwoOd boulevard.
A more propitiOus day for a drive
cOlfld not be wished for. A gentle
breeze was stirring, and the hot rays of
the sun were mellOwed and tempered
bv White-capped clouds. The suburbs
seemed to have adorned special garO
of green for the occasion, and the eyes
of the stranger delegates popped out
with wOnderment and delight as they
saw the beautiful natural panorama
spread before them. When the process
sion reached Lake of the Isle the car
riageS were stopped and the horses al

tinued to Lake Calhoun. and when
crossing the road near the Lurline boat
house 4 patriotic and decidedly poliTe
policeman who stood at respectful
distance did honor TO the order by Sa-
luting every carriage as it passed. He
dropped his helmet sixty times, and
smiled and smiled, every time he did it.
The drive along the boulevard skirt
ing the lake was refreshing one, and
the delegates showed their appreciation
of it by halting the entire procession OIL
the fountain square and joining their
applause with the musical wash of the
waves. Lake Harriet was the next
point of interest, made doubly SO by
the recent battles fought nightly by
wild-eyed savages, whose native stamp
ing grounds are Mendoza. The dele

aIasI they were disappointed. The
classic shades of the high board fence
were commonplace and prOsaic. Chief
Castor Oil and his savage tribe had dis
appeared. and with them all the dogs in
the neighborhOOd. Ths delegates
smothered their disappointment in to-
baccO smoke, and, after inhaling the in
VigOrating lake ozone, sighed and dl-
| rected the drivers to turn the noses of
| their thOrOughbreds hOmeward.
The drive hOmeward was through a
no less picturesque portion of the city.
The route taken was Lyndale and south
to West Lake street and thence over the
Arcadian-like Stevens avenue. The
procession continued on Stevens avenue
past Fair Oaks ami the Morrison
grounds, as far as Twenty-fourtil street.
1t went down this street to Portland

then to Park past all the beautiful re-
sidences. At Tenth a turn was made
to Nicollet and then to the NlcOllet
house and supper.
Delegate NcCarthy's Address.
At the morning session the delegates
! listened to the biennial address of
| State Delegate Mccarthy, in which he
spoke of the rapid growth of the order
| during the past year in the state. it hav-
ing exceeded that of any other state or
| territory in the Union. Ten counties,
| including twenty divisions, had been
| organized, which was nothing more nor
| less than an increase of 40 per cent in
numerical strength. Mr.. Mccarthy, in
referring to the insurance department,
said that the benehciaries had received
over So, 600, and the cost had been very
| low, less than 80 cents per 500. He was
! of the opinion that the insurance con-
vention should be held biennially in
stead of annually. as at present. In
concluding his address he said:
Let us show the people OF MinneapO-
| lis that we are not only members OF
Catholic and benevolent organizations,
but true-hearted and loyal citizens. Lei
us show that the motto of our order is,
in reality, charity to all, malice to none,
and that of all the columns supporting
the government, there are none firmeI
than the one composed of the Ancient
Order of HlbeInians."
The report of the treasurer showed
that the treasury had a balance of $500
after the payment of ali obligations
also total property valuation of $l5,-
600. During the past year 270 sick bene
fits had been paid and twenty-five
burials had been paid for. 1t was an.
| nOunced that at the recent national
convention. held in New Orleans. it was
decided to endow a chair in the Catholic
university in Washington with S50.OOO
/ Two years will be granted the order il
this state to raise its quota. After the
state directors mad submitted their re-
port the convention adjourned until
o'clock in the evening. the drive occur
ing in the interim.
There was a large attendance at the
evening session, though the meeting
itself was not productive of much news
Most OF the time was taken up in dis
cusSing the report of the insurance CON-
mittee, several clauses precipitating q
more than lively discussion, and the re-
port showed the business to be increas-
ing with each month, and that
the income had been more than
enough to pass all beneficiaries
An interesting letter to the convention
from Bishop McGOlrick, of Duluth, was
read 10y the chairman and occasiOneC
great enthusiasm. The bishop wished
the order God speed i'll its good work
which he believed was the greatest OF
earth.
The business of today will consis
chiefly in electing officers to serve dur
ing the ensuing year and settling upOr
the next convention city. 1t is likely
that st. Paul will be chosen.
