suited in victory of 20 to for the
Leans, who have been drinking beef
tea for four days and batted the ball

HIS suFFERINGs ENDED.
Charles j. McDermott Succumbs to
Bright's Disease.

Charles j.. McDermott. for several
years proprietor Of saloon on Wabasha
street, died yesterday morning at his
summer home at White Bear, after a
lingering illness. He had been a sufferer
for many years from a kidney affection,
which developed into Bright's disease,
and during the winter it was feared
for some time that his death might
ccme daily. However, he recovered
somewhat, and apparently recovered
good health, but a few weeks ago the
disease again assumed a dangerous
form and since that time he has been
hanging between life and death.
The deceased was thirtyfou years
of age, and leaves wife and three
children, the eldest boy eleven years of
age. He was born in Dubuque county,
Iowa, where he lived until his removal
here. He was a close friend of Man
ager Comiskey, of the st. Paul base

and was an ardent admirer of base
ball and other sports.

0rceville, Mimi.

Editor Irish Standard:
On last Wednesday our beloved pastor
Rev. Father Rhatigan, left here to take
charge Of the congregation at huntsville
Mimi.
It is safe to say that no congregation in
the st. Paul diocese has been more fortu-
nate in having truly good priests than
that of Graceville, and that Father Rhati-
gan was no exception in this respect was
clearly shown by the large numbers OF
his parishioners going to and from his
residence the last three days before the
good man left.
A gift Of over. 5000 in cash, the largest
ever received by a priest here on his final
departmental, by the way, these de-
partures have been unusually frequent
n Graceville-was presented to Father
Rhatigan the day before he left.
No priest could be more attentive, more
watchful and more, zealous Of the spirit
ual welfare of his flock. In sickness and
in sorrow, in the hour Of need, when the
bravest hearts are bowed down with
grief, this self-sacrificing, truly good man
was always found at his post Of duty,
encouraging the weak, consol!ng the
grief stricken and administering the last
sacraments to the departing souls.
That good Father Rhatigan-as the lit
tie boys and girls of the parochial schools
were won. to call hinl-may be fully, re-
warded in his new parish at huntsville is
the sincere wish of his numerous friends
in Big Stone and Traverse counties.
