Death of Mrs. Mary Gleason.

Mrs. Mary Gleason died last Tuesday
at her home, $50 Seventh avenue north,
this city, after an illness of several
months. The deceased lady was 68
years of age and had lived in Hennepin
county for 81 years. In 1855 she came
with her husband, Michael Gleason, to
Minnesota settling on farm in Cahill-
town. A few years after the death OF
her husband, which occurred in 1882,
Mrs. Gleason removed to this city where
she resided up to the time of her death.
She leaves to mourn their loss two sons
and two daughters, viz: Rev. L. +.
Gleason, of Mortified, Michael Gleason,
of Cahilltown, Mrs. Mary Burns, OF
Butte, Mont, and Miss Bridget Gleason,
of this city. The death Of Mrs. Gleason
is sincerely regretted by hundreds OF
warm personal friends in this community
who will ever keep her in lasting remem-
brance for her many excellent qualities
Of mind and heart. She was possessed
of exceeding Christian piety and Of more
than ordinary strength of character. The
funeral services which were held on
Thursday morning at the Church Of the
Immaculate Conception were very i'm
pressive High Requiem Mass was cole
brated by her beloved son, Rev. Thos #.
Gleason, and beautiful sermon was de-
]ivered by her nephew, Rev. p. Boland,
of Litchfeld. Among the clergy in at
tendance and taking part in the celebra-
ton of the mass were Rev. r. j. Fitzger-
aid, Belle Greek, Rev. j. J. Treanor, of
Waseca, Rev. j. Fl. Gaughan, Red Wing,
Rev. Jos. NJ. Langan, Marquette. Mich,
Fathers Mcintyre, Casey and Harring-
ton, Of this city.

ONE of the interesting ceremonies Of
Decoration Day in Brooklyn, N. Y, was
the unwilling of a monument to the Rev.
John F. Fitzharris in Calvary Cemetery.
Father Fitzharris was the founder and
first pastor of st. Veronica's church, on
Christopher street, New York. He was
an old soldier, having served through the
war in the Sixtieth Pennsylvania, 60
ing in as private and coming out of the
service Captain. He took Holy Orders
at St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy, on May
80, 1874 He founded st. Veronica's in
1889, and died on Sept. 80, 1891. After a
Requiem Mass in the church at 1920 a.
NJ, delegations of the church societies
proceeded to the cemetery. The unveil
ing took place at 2:30, and the services
were conducted by the Rev. Daniel j.
McC ormick, assisted by the Rev. Francis
j. Jones.

The total revenue of the government
for the expired eleven months of the cur
rent fiscal year was 1926, 714,W0 which
was $6,700,000 less than the expenditures.
The customs receipts were S163, 265, 900,
or s42,467,0 600 less than for the same
months of the last fiscal year. But the
internal revenue amounted to $138, 1885,
GOO, gain of $6,5o0,0Oo. It is this in
crease of internal revenue that saves the
treasury from q serious deficit The ex-
penditure for interest will be light this
month, but for pensions it will probably
be as heavy as last month, so that this
months record is likely to show an excess
of expenditures, or at best no surplus.
And yet congress goes ON voting away
money as though the revenue were up to
the old level.

only three other occasions has 90 large 9
quantity of -four been ground here in 9
week. The five Pillsbury mills made
their highest run, grinding $4,000 bar
rels in the six days. The Washburn
mills ran at proportionally high rate.
One mill of 1900 barrels capacity which
had been idle for several weeks, was
started Monday and it is not improbable
that the production for this will show
another increase.
Wcrd comes to Minneapolis to the eff
! feet that the 500 railroad has caused the
arrest of about fifteen of its freight con-
| ductors for stealing freight from the cars
as Escanaba. The arrests began last
week, when five men were arrested and
taken to 'Escanaba. Eight more have
been arrested recently. More arrests will
be made, it is said, the number of men
who are under super vision being fifteen.
They are all conductors, and it is claimed
that the railroad company has missed
considerable freight, supposed to have
been taken by these men. The arrests
were made at Sault Ste. Marie, it is said i,
but the prisoners were all taken to Es-
CANADA.
William Blair, Blaine delegate from
Aurora, ILL.,, met with an almost fatal &C.
cident Tuesday morning at the Nicollet
house. He arrived in the city Monday
ahead of the Blaine delegation and regis
tered. Tuesday morning brass band
heading the delegation paraded in front
of the hotel, Blair saw the Aurora con-
tingent and became enthusiastic. He
thought the balcony was tin roof, and.
mounting the window sill, leaped out
There was crash of glass aud flow OF
blood, and the crowd was stupe6ed.
Blair dangled from the hole in the glass
roof, and socn became exhausted from
the loss of blood. G. w. Patnam, editor
of the Aurora Daily Blade, soon reached
Blair, who was rapidly approaching un-
consciousness, and dragged him through
the hole to the window. Then he WAS
placed on bed and DR.. Sherwood, of
Superior, called. The cords and veins in
his left wrist were severed, and the mem
Der hung hopelessly by his side He was
also bruised internally, but will recover.

different shot guns, q 1O-gauge ten
pound gun, 12-gauge 7115-pound gun
and a 20gauge fye-pound gun. He will
also load his own guns. Henry Bogar-
dus, the valiant captains son, broke the
record for hitting pennies while in the
air, with a Winchester, at Lake Harriet
Wednesday afternoon. He hit nine out of
twelve during the performance of the
Wild West show. The pennies were the
presents of convention delegates.
Tommy Ryan and Jack Wilkes, of St.
Louis, who met Charley Kemmick at the
Hennepin club, on Monday, have signed
articles to fight before the South Omaha
Athletic club IN July 80. They will
fight for purse of 5000, winner take all,
and $500 side. Each man is allowed
500 for training expenses. Ryan came
here for the purpose of making match
with Wilkes, because of Wilkes claim
to the effect that he made Ryan take
water at Chicago. Ryan wanted to fight
here, but as no finish fights are allowed
the match was arranged to take place at
Omaha. Ryan will probably train here.
Charley Kemmick's showing against
Wilkes was thoroughly discussed Tues
day by those who Witnessed the contest.
The opinion that Kemmick would have
defeated Wilkes easily if he had been
right prevailed. Several expressed
themselves as believing that Kemmick is
seriously impaired physically and that he
should take long rest before entering
the ring again. Kemmick's wind on
Monday night was so poor that he was
very weak at the close of the first round,
in which there was little or no fast work.
The London Universe disposes of a
silly yarn tersely and effectually thus:
"A story has been going the rounds that
the late Pho Mono told Mr.. Gladstone in
1864 that be would never allow railways
in his dominions, as he was convinced
that travelling by steam was bad for the
health. The object of this yarn is to
paint the Pontiff as an ignorant, stupid |
man. His Holiness was nothing of the !
sort. He did not leave that impression
on us once that we had the honor of |
conversation with him. To refute the |
lying narrative about that chat with Mr..
Gladstone it is only necessary to state
that at the close of 1860 there were rail- |
ways from Rome to Frascati, and from
Bologna to Modena, and from Bologna |
to Imola.''
