NORTH DAKOTA.
Superintendent McCabe of the Dakota
division went west Friday morning OF
last week from Bismarck in his private
car. His brother, George McCabe, is
sick at Seattle and Andy and his sister
have gone to visit him.
In the local land office at Bismarck the
celebI ated tree-claim contest of Pat.
Lyons vs. w. F. Steele, at Steele, has been
decided in favor of Lyons. Steele failed
to prove up on it at the expiration of
thirteen years, and therefore Lyons
claim is held to be good. In the early
years Steele spent great deal of money
and time in attempting to cultivate trees
and make them grow, but during the
past four or five years Mr.. Steele has
been living in Chicago.
North Dakota has law which is quite
efficient in keeping out transient stocks
of goods which are brought in to be sold
at bankrupt sale. The law says that
when such stock is brought into the
state it shall be assessed at once and the
taxes collected Immediately. They make
pretty heavy assessment, too. A stock
was recently brought into Fargo. 1t was
assessed and an attempt was made to
collect the tax. The owner stood out
and claimed the law was unconstitu-
tional. Before the case was tried, TO test
it, he had a chance to sell the stock, and
to do so paid up the tax. The law is q
good one if 1T will stand the test in the
courts.
The New York Times of recent date
contained the following: Senators Lyman
r. Casey and Henry G. Hausbrough OF
North Dakota are in New York, the
former at the Hotel Normandie and the
latter at the Fifth Avenue. One object
of their visit is to meet several mon from
their state for conference over the rep
resentation North Dakota shall have at
thu Worlds Fair. Commissioner of Agri-
culture Helgesen and r. s. Tyler, execu-
tive manager of the exhibit from that
state, are also here. North Dakota has
appropriated $25,0O0 to be expended in
making an exhibit. This amount is
thought to be altogether too small for a
proper presentation of the Industries OF
the state, and the conference of officials
it is expected, will result in some plan
for securing more money.

Father Hebron Of the Cathedral, has q
highly interesting and appropriate pro-
gramme mapped out for the observance
sof st. Patrick's day, 10 the nature Of q
z8tereoptioon Lecture at Cretin hall on
that evening. Details will be given in
our next issue.
Hon. Frank Battley has signifed his in
tenti0n and willingness to make race
for the comptroller's Office, and the hard
work done by the dignified and portly
representative from the Eighth ward in
past campaigns, ought surely to merit a
9 return of favors from his party at the
spring election.
Mr. Thos. Haggeny has been obliged
to sever his business relations with
Charlie McDermott, on account OF i'll
health. The many friends Of the genial
Tom will regret to learn this fact but
unite in wishing him complete restora-
ton of his health and his return from his
contemplated visit to Old Ireland.
In last weeks issue of the Catholic 7.
A. News, of Philadelphia, appears very
interesting and commendable article on
Young mems societies by Mr.. E. j. Can
non, of this city. Mr.. Cannon is one OF
the hardest workers among the Crusad-
ers of which he is member, and the
article referred to, was recently read by
him before that society.
1.-TWO Old Cronies" is the attraction
billed by Manager Bixby for the Grand
next week. AL Wilson and Edward Hef-
from as the ''The Two Old Cronies," are
of course the attraction and both are
very clever performers in their line. Miss
Ada Deans as Miss Bristle, is nothing 1t
not funny, while the singing OF Miss
Myatt and Miss Fanny Bloodgood, and
the dancing Of the Don Sisters, is said to
be graded in first class order.
The name of Stanford Newell is now
proposed as a possible candidate for
mayor bv the Republicans, and has
caused no amount Of discussion as to the
probable result, should Mr.. Newell accept
the nomination. Everything is serenity
and good feeling in the first degree in the
Democratic camp and there is no doubt
that whoever runs up against Robert A.
Smith, the Democratic nominee, will
have everything but all easy task on
their hands.
The Father Mathew 7. a. Society held
their regular monthly rally in the base
nent Of the Cathedal last Sunday even
ing, which was largely attended. 1t
goes without saying that much stronger
interest is being unaffected in the vel
fare of the society, by those who are not
members of it, than some of the old time
back numbers who boast of their men-
bership in the cause Of temperance, and
then show their respect for the same by
keeping g. respectful distance from all
meetings. The name and memory OF
Father Mathew is synonymous with good
and will! continue to exist even it a lack
of interest is maintained by the old time
members. The programme for the after
noon consisted of All eloquent address by
Rev. Father Gibbons, who spoke in glow
ing terms of the necessity Of rousng the
sleeping indifference shown by many of
Father Mathews disciples and an adj
herence 10 the noblar principles of the
society. A recitation by W. }. Cole and
music by Prof. ONeil's orchestra closed a
very interesting meeting.

How Empress Josephine Introduced
Pocket handkerchief Into Public Use.
1t was not until the reign of Empress
Josephine in France that the pocket
handkerchief was tolerated at all as
an article for public use. No lady
would have dared to use one in the
presence of others. Even the name
was carefully avoided in polite conver.
sation. An actor who would have
ventured to use one on the stage would
have been hissed off the boards. 1t was
only in the beginning of the present
century that Mile. Duchesnois, fa-
nous actress, dared to appear with a
handkerchief in her hand. Having to
speak of it in the course of the play she
could only summon courage to refer to
it as "a light tissue"
A translation OF one of Shakespeare S
play by Alfred de Vigney was acted,
and the word was used for the first
time upon the stage and provoked a
storm of indignant Kisses from all parts
of the house.
Empress Josephine, although beau
tiful woman, had very bad teeth, and to
conceal them she was in the habit OF
carrying small handllerchiefs, trimmed
with costly laces, which she raised
gracefully to her lips to conceal her
teeth. The ladies of the court followed
her example, and handlerchiefs rapid
