Waverly, Minn.-The mission given
for the English speaking people by
Reverend Fathers Nc )Geogh,
| Diestler and MERCER, Of the Re-
sdemptorist order, came to a solemn close
on Sunday evening by very appropriate
exercises, says the Tribune After the
sermon Rev. Father Diestler paid very
! glowing tribute to Rev. Father Guillot
on behalf of his kindness to them and the
| noble work he has done in the parish,
also to the people of Waverly who had
so faithfully responded to the mission.
Then the solemn blessing of the Holy
| Father, the Pope, was given. The SER
vices of the mission were we'll attended
| and. the sermons of the Reverend Father
| very eloquent and practical. On Friday
evening the services were especially
impressive when the children in a body
and the congregation were solemnly ded-
icated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The
shrine of the Blessed Virgin was almost
a garden Of beautiful flowers and plants,
! radiant with lights. The sermon by
Rev. Father McGeogh glowed with elo-
quence and the occasion was one long to
! be remembered.
Duluth, Minn.-The Northwestern
Witness records the death Of Mrs. Mary
L. Delaney, wife of J. H. Delaney, of that
city. ! Mrs. Delaney was very widely
known in Duluth and Superior, having
been a resident here little over IL
yeaxs. Her ailment, which manifested
itself some time ago in the shape of a
distressing cough, which medical skill
was utterly unable to even alleviate.
grew worse rapidly after the death by
drowning of her son II months ago. For
several months her friends had given up
all hope, and she, knowing what the enc
must be, maintained to the very last
moment that cheerful disposition which
endeared her to all her friends. Besides
her husband she leaves three little girls,
almost too young to realize the crushing
blow that has fallen upon them. She
was a member of the Cathedral congre-
cation and was buried from the Cathe-
dral -4
{ Jamestown, N. D.--The Alert says: It
is more than strange, the credence the
Twin City papers give to damaging crop
reports sent them by irresponsible CORES
pondents from North Dakota. A few
days ago some space writer purporting to
live in Jam estown sent the St. Paul Dis
patch a dismal pen picture of the desc
lation made by the frost in the James
river valley, which was given a promin-
ent place in that paper as matter of
important news and information to peo-
pie who have no means of knowing bet
ter, when the fact is this valley has not
suffered to any appreciable extent from
frost. There is uniform GOODNESS in the
North Dakota air, just right for wheat;
the fields are green while the cattle are
getting fat on the thousand hills under
the lazy patronage of the herd boy and
old PAM: only.
Green Bay, Wis.-Last Sunday was an
important day in Catholic circles in this
city, when the cornerstone of the st.
Joseph's orphan asylum was laid with
imposing ceremonies. At $50 p. m.
there was a parade, which, starting from
the hall of the Catholic knights on Cher
ry street, was participated in by Ia Cath
olic societies and two bands of music
The ceremonies were Of the most elab-
crate description, including a sermon by
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Messmer. The
structure will be magnificent one and
the grounds almost rival in beauty the
famed gardens of Boccaccio, There
were large delegations from outside cit
les, very many visiting priests, and an
immense assemblage Of home people.
