MR.. McCoRNIcK's TRIBUTE.
The first address was given by Mr.. Nc
.Cornick. He would yield to no one in
enthusiastic appreciation of Bishop Scan
Ian. He believes there is no grander fig
ure before the public today. Personally
he had been to him friend of more than
thirty years standing. They had met to
celebrate the bishops ordination to the
ministry twenty-five years before. All of
Utah and three fourths of Nevada had
sent representatives to express their 10y
atty and love. The united wish of all, is
''Long live the Bishop.'
FOR THE LADIES AND CHILDREN.
Father Mahoney responded for the
ladies and children. They did not know
whether to admire most his physical en-
durance of mental foresight. The his
tory of the bishops career is the history
of the rise and growth of the church
in this diocese. Often times in those
early days he had been without the neces-
saries OF life, yet he had always looked
upon those grim realities as stern neces-
stiles and was schcoled thereby. He had
Travelled over all of this great diocese on
foot. In spite of all obstacles. every one
OF his undertakings had been crowned
with success. To do a great amount of
work, yet never allude to it, seemed to be
his greatest desire. As churchman, q
tnancier and citizen, be deserved the
highest praise. His motto seemed ever to
have been, "Say kind word, do kind
act when you can. Avoid harsh word,
an unkind act, always Not a public
man IN this city is SO deservedly popular.
TEE GIFT OF THE PARISH.
Father McManus spoke briefly but elo-
quently in behalf of the priests and par
ishioners of the cathedral, and also pre-
sented the bishop with checks to the
amount of 5000. A copy of Father Ma
honey address had been engrossed and
framed and was presented at the same
time.
ST. JosEPH's GIFT.
Judge Maginnis presented a purse of
$500 in gold from St. .Joseph's parish. In
the course OF the presentation speech he
cited the churches founded in Utah and
Nevada, also institutions of learning that
have sprung up under the bishops ad-
ministratiou. s'You have made good
Catholics said he, land by making
good Catholics you have made good citi-
zens." Complimentary resolutions adopted
by the Ogden church were read, also a
poem. written for the occasion bv John T.
Smith, of Ogden.
THE BISHOPS RESPONSE.

He reviewed the arduous labors OF the
past, thanked the priests, Pensioners
and teachers for their answering loyalty
and said he was inspired to renewed eff
tort. lie thanked those present not only
for the honors shown him. He felt that
they were gloryfying the cause which he
represented.

itors present, Mr.. Mccormick for his
services as chairman, and Mr.. Ewing for
doing his utmost as host. Bis utmost
