Chief Henderson, in his recent report, says
that the citizens must not be too captious in
the criticisms of the police department aud
its work. and must not expect them 10 ac-

some OF them are certainly reputable in
comparison with others, say they would

The Lowry banquet he arraIgned in terms
somewhat as follows: 1t was mag niticent
affair. benetiting the grand hotel i'll which it
was given. benehtIng the railway king for
whom it was given and beneht'ng the promi-
nent business men by whom II was given.
1t was magnificent affair in all but the
wine, the brandy and the champagne, but If

one man partook TO such excess that he liter
ally fell under the table. This is a terrible
example, and it might be said of those who
participated in il: you have been weighed

He also touched upon the "Faribault fol-

Mr.. Markoe SAYS that The Columbian eI-
position is regarded by the Catholics as a
Catholic celebration of strictly Catholic
event, but / deny his authority 10 place any
such construction upon it. If he does so on
the ground that this country was discovered

The speaker also touched briefly upon lib
