Mr.. Lawler to the United States senate.
The lndefatigabie zeal of Father Mar
tin Mahoney, of st. Paul, in the cause of
Temperance is we'll known throughout
the entire country. Though not rich in
the worlds goods, for which he has no
desire, he has undertaken the publication
of his "Manifestoes" to advance the
cause of temperance and religion. Every
right-minded man cannot but appreciate
the excellent work he is doing for God
and country in the dissemination of
Catholic literature. Bishop McGolrick,
of Duluth, is convinced OF the valuable
services he is rendering 10y his publlca-
tions and recently sent him the following
letter Of encouragement: My Dear Fa-
ther Mahouey: While SO many are talk
ing glibly Of the things that ought to be
done, and with long faces bemoaning the
general ignorance of Catholic doctrines
both inside and outside the church, you
have gone to work to do mans part in
the defense of truth. Such paper az
that on the 'Awful Exposures of Roman
ism,' ought to be printed by the hum
dreds Of thousands and spread abroad.
/ hope that some of our wealthy Catho-
lies, seeing what sacrifices you are max
ing, will send you little cash, which
when you get it will not 60 into an old
stockings buried talent-but be ex-
pended in useful Manifestoes. 7 send
you $10--a pity that Bishop should
give so small sum, but when wealth
comes to me I will do better.

eldest son of Mr.. Daniel Manning. Willie
was not quite 13 years old and Was his
fathers pride and mothers JOY, The
Recorder touchingly refers to his death
as follows: 1t was Monday, January 18th,
when the expressions of love for little
boy was publicly revealed by the large
concourse Of friends responding to the
mournful toll of the bell at the Catholic
church. Friends, both old and young,
came to pay their last sad rites to the
child they had only known to love. His
schoolmates attended the funeral in a
body to express their love Tor fellow
child, and many tears Of sc rrow were
shed over the grave and last resting place,
of the one they loved SO we'll. No one
knows the father and mother but to love
them, and likewise the child. The entire
community join with the parents in
mourning the loss Of little Willie. The
funeral services we're held at the Catholic
church, the Rev. Father Lemieux, Of
Mandan, officiating.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Rev. Father Brown, of ST. Vincent's
church, Springfield, 8. D., recently wrote
to Rev. Father Callaghan, Director of the
Mission of our Lady of the Rosary, New
York City, asking him to forward car
load of Irish girls. Father Brown said:
''They will be taken good care of, and get
good wages and steady employment.
Now is their chance to secure land grants,
as many of our reservations are thrown
open, and the girls can pce-empt land.
They can easily secure good husbands,
as women are not SO plentiful as in the
East. Tne price of land is rapidly ad-
vancing, and that part of South Dakota
will be very prosperous soon. Fifty girls
could get employment ia one day at Sioux
Falls and fifty others around Aberdeen,
Huron and Watertown.''
