On last Sunday st. Mary's church
celebrated the 25th anniversary OF its

almost personal, interest. It was the
occasion of comforting high honor upon
the man who for quarter of century
held the first place in their hearts as
pastor and friend. Father Calllet was
invested with the dignity and the purple
of a prelate of the papal household. In
the course of bis sermon Archbishop
Ireland took occasion to offer a high tri-
butte of praise to Monsignor Caillet, re-
ferring to him as:the faithful, the ire
proachable, the self-denying, the Jealous
priest. After the services were over the
representatives Of the Church present
enjoyed the hospitality of Mr.. John T.
Prince at dinner.
The programme for Manager Bixby's
benefit at the Grand Opera House next
Monday night will be of such proper
tons that, aside from the popularity Of
the beneficiary, which should be suffi-
Gent to fill the house to OVERLOOKING, it
will command the attention of amuse-
ment seekers. Among some Of the fea-
lures that will be seen will be the ST..
Paul Minstrel Club in a genuine min
strel first part; T. J. Hammel in his imi-
tations Of Adeline Patti; Prof. Thomas
Taylor Drill, pianist. Of Minneapolis;
Prof. William Courtney, pianist, of New
York; Miss Bertha Herman, the soprano
soloist; Miss Bourne in dramatic read
ing, and the gypsy dance from 1.-THE
Gathering of the Clans" executed by
Miss Lucie Watterson, Miss Hattie Wat
terson, Miss Sadie Adamson, Miss Nellie
Morrison, Miss Marie Peterson, Miss
Eva Morrison and Miss Mamie Dinon,
the eight young ladies' who made such a
hit with this dance recently at the Me-
tropolitan Opera House. Frederick L.
Bancroft will also be seen in some very
clever tricks of legerdemain, and the
programme will conclude with the one
act farce, "The Rough Diamond" pre-
sented by members Of the Lift stock
company. If there is a vacant seat at
the Grand Opera House next Monday
night, it will not be because Manager
Bixbys friends have not volunteered in
sufficient force to furnish an entertain
ment in every way diversified and worthy
of patronage. The seats have been
placed at one dollar, and are now on sale
at the box office of the Theatre, and a
kindly hint to those who wish to secure a
desirable location is to 60 at once, as
the sale indicates that very few seats will
remain unsold by Monday morning.
