man, and to this love of home can b(
traced eevery noble instinct of the
| human heart. The great question
with the masses of workers is how to
secure their families from want OF
misfortune, and this the order under
takes to do. The three principles Of
the order are friendship, unity anC
true Christian charity. Although
the membership is limited by race
distinction, we endorse no principle
that makes US less loyal TO the stars
and stripes, and only those princi
pies that make us better men and
better Americans. We have adopted
ST. Patrick as our patron saint.
Chas. Schwanenberg rendered a

The state president, John McCar.
thy, then spoke of the relations OF
America to Ireland. He thanked the
citizens for their many cOurteSies,
and said that the beautiful city of
Mankato is rightly styled the gem of
Southern Minnesota, He said that
he voiced the sentiments Of all the
visitors when he said that they
would leave with the kindeSt feel
ings and recollections of the people of
MankatO.
Philip Hayes then gave vocal solo
so we'll that he had to respond to an
encore.
An address was then given by the
founder of the order in Minnesota,
Mr.. Maher, of Minneapolis, who gave
a short history of the order in this
state. 1t was first started in Min
neapolis in 1879, and has now grown
to 5000 members. The cost of the in
surance is 1925 year, which is
probably cheaper than in any other
order. There is also burial fund
The object of the ladies' branch to be
organized is to extend helping hand
to the girls who are drifting to the
cities. 1t is proposed to extend this
organization to all towns and villages
in the state where there are Irish
people. Transfer cards will be issued
to girls who leave home, that they
may be assisted to obtain honest en-
ployment. There is greater field
for the ladies organization than
among the men, and the work of the
ladies during the next ten years
must be a grand one.
J. B. O'Brien closed the program
with an amusing song, and the floor
of the dancing hall was then cleared

The committee on constitution and
bylaws presented report this fore
noon, which was adopted. The name
of the organization is made theDaugh-
tiers of Erin of Minnesota. Bien-
NAL sessions are to be held,
at the same time and place as
the meetings of the A. O. H, Divis-
ions are to be entitled to membership
at the rate of one delegate for every
fifty members. There is also to be an
insurance feature. Permanent Off
GERS will be elected tomorrow.
State Secretary j.. A. Onslaught
messy, of the life insurance fund, was
not so well today. He has his BIZ
ennial report to June LIST printed in
pamphlet form, and from it we learn
that the receipts were 500, 414.02, and
the disbursements the same, includ-
ing balance of $3,079.70, nearly
all of which has accumulated
during the two years. Death claims
paid amounted to S24 ,047. There are
2,499 members, and 1,211 policies were
written during the two years. The
me mbership on June 1st, 1894, was
only 1896, showing gain over 900.
Tw enty-five death claims were paid,
the death rate in 1895 being only 500
per 1000 members. Since the insur-
ance fund was organized, there have
been lis deaths, of which 26 were due
to consumption, % to accidents, IL to
typhoid fever, II to pneumonia, and
the rest scattering. Blue Earth
division No. l has had two deaths
since organization. The number of
policies in force June 1st, 1894, was
1896, and the number in force June
1st, 1896, was 2,499.

Last Evenings Session.

The open session last evening was
attended by very great number of
people, filling the closely seated lodge
room and large part of the adjoin-
ing dancing hall. 1t was nine o'clock
when D. P. Hayes introduced Mayor
Weaver, who said that to welcome
the convention to Mankato was a
rare pleasure, and he extended the
courtesy, hospitality and entire free
dom of the city. To some of our
residents, Messrs. Hayes, DALEY and
Jordan, the city owes it's thanks, for
they have brought this grand conven-
tion here. The parade was one of
the finest ever seen here. He trust
ed that the delegates would have
good time here and take with them
pleasant recollections of our people
and the city.
Presi dent c. o. DALEY, of Blue
Earth .division No. /, A. o. H.,
thanked Mayor Weaver for his kind
greetings and welcome to the city of
Mankato, and said that the enthu-
siastic support of the citizens had
largely aided in making the conven-
tion success. The membership of
the order is composed of the Irish
race by birth or descent. A magnet
ic sym pathy joined their hearts to
Ireland. There is a rainbow of
hope against dark cloud of despair
hanging over the island. All hope
that the cloud will pass away and
that the practice of the arts, sciences
and industries will bring prosperity
back to Ireland, which will stand
erect, fearless and unfettered, as one
of .he nations of the earth.
A piano uduet by Misses May and
Grace Dougherty followed, and was
eXcellently rendered.
Harry Carney gave comic dialect
recitation entitled "The Philoso-
pher," which brought down the
house.
Mr.. Clement Schroeder and Miss
Josie Menth sang fine duet.
Attorney e. j. Cannon, of St. Paul,
was then introduced and gave the
principal address of the evening. He
explained the objects of the order,
saying that the insurance feature
provided 81 900 after death, and re-
ferred to the weekly sick benefit
The exact date of the starting of the
| order is not known, but it was during
| the dark days Of religious persecu-
tion, when the vast majority of the
Irish were prescribed and the clergy
were being hunted in swamps. The
organization was started for the pur-
pose of protecting these men of God,
and the members and their families,
while they learned the first rudi-
ments of military exercises. After
wards the object Of the organization
was TO provide funds for the poor and
forward them to America. Societies
were formed in America to aid in OBJ
tanning American independence, and
the great George Washington was
pleased to become an honorary mem
Der of the Knights of St. Patrick.
The present object of the order is
to protect the homes of the mem
bers against the uncertainties of life,
and to permit any young man to en-
ter upon home life. To possess a
home is the ambition of every young

little use to try to write anything
from here at this time looking to a

position to Mckinley has collapsed,
although the names of others will be

give orators chance and to kill time
than for any practical results.
There will be considerable of con-
test over the vice-presidency. Some
very able men are mentioned, among
the number being Mr.. Dingley, of
Maine, Hobart of New Jersey, Evans
of Tennessee, and Bradley of Ken
lucky. The Minnesota delegation
has not discussed this question any,
and it is possible that it will be di-
vided when it comes to a vote unless,
in the meantime, McKinley's friends
and leaders shall determine whom
they want, which is not likely MI.
Hanna insists that Major Mckinley
will persistently decline to express a
preference for running mate.

Gov. Hubbard's selection as a men,
Der of the national committee from
Minnesota was not wholly uneX-
pected outcome. Mr.. r. G. Evans,
who has served his state in this
capacity for the past ten years so ably
and acceptably, could have had it for
another term if he had not begged of
his friends to relieve him, and his
suggestion of Gov. Hubbard as a man
wholly fitted for the place and one
whom he would be glad to have the
toga fall upon, led the delegation, all
of whom are friends to the Governor,
to unite upon him and give him the
unanimous support of it's member
ship. 1t was happy outcome of
what at one time gave promise of
contest, although there has not been
a time since the selection of the dele
cation that Bob Evans could not have
had a reelection by the mere express
sion of willingness to accept all
newspaper reports to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
The delegation left St. Paul at 3 80
Saturday afternoon on special train
made up of ten cars, and reached St.
Louis at 10 o'clock the following morn
ing. 1t was one of the fastest trains
ever sent over the road, and shows
what the old reliable M. & St. L. can
do when it wants to. The road-bed
is especially good, and the entire trip
was sone of smuch enjoyment. The
delegation is under great obligations
to Hon. G. A. Pillsbury for the royal
entertainment afforded. The mem
bers went as his guests, and every
possible arrangement for their COM
fort and pleasure was provided. No
delegation to the convention from
any state can boast of a more
genuinely pleasant trip than was made
from the twin cities to St. Louis, and
we will put Pillsbury up against any
one as the best entertainer and most
painstaking host in this country. In
fact, like the brand of flour that bears
his name, he "beats the world"
Everything is in readiness for the
convention. A warm contest is likely
to occur over the wording of the finan-
cial plank. Some want to declare for
"the existing standard" while others,
and l believe majority of the dele
gates want to come out and declare
just what we mean by "the existing
standard" by inserting the word
gold" and have the plank read "the
existing gold standard" 1t is prob
able the question will be fought out
on the floor of the convention as the
committee will be divided. The Min
nesota delegation is unalterably in
favor of "the existing gold standard"
