A new division of the A. 0. H. has been
organized at st. Pail, to be known as No.

I to g. inclusive. -
Last Sunday afternoon the regular
meeting of Division No. 2, A. o. H., was
held at Labor Temple. A number Of
fresh applications for adm;ttance were
received. A resolution was passed unani-
mously by the Division instructing the
officers at the meeting of the county
beard to vote in favor of holding a grand
picnic. The matter will be discussed at
the board meeting and 1t is thought that
the picnic will be held. The next meet
ing Of No. 2, to be he'd on Monday even
ing, Aug. 3, will be a very important one
for all the members.
Division No. 3. Ramsey Co., D. of E..
Editor Irish Standard:
Thinking that a brief sketch of our
young division might interest many Of
your fair readers ais also some of the
sterner sex, I hope your space will per-
nit of its insertion.
Knowing that you will require all the
space possible for the national conven
ton news I will make my remarks brief
this time, promising with your permits
sion more detailed sketch in the near
future. %
Division No. 8 was organized Aug. 10,
1895, and has membership of 1853 in
good standing.
q We. have over 5000 in it's treasury. We
pay So per week sick benefits, and in
few cases by vote Of the division have
assisted members substantially, who ac-
.cording to the constitution were not en-
titled to it on account of not having
been members long enough.
Our main source Of revenue has been
entertainments, concerts, and ice-cream
socials, and anything we have at
tempted in that line has invariably been
successful, and a great share Of the cred
it of this is due to the energy and en-
terpise of our worthy president Miss
Josie Cook.
E. we have also been permitted to lend
a helping hand to our neighbors.
In February last Rev. DR.. Heffron, OF the
cathedral, held bazaar and the Daught-

was realized on q, voting contest for a
handsome picture of Father Hebron
The contest was between Mrs. T. W. Ne
Goey, OF Division No. l, and Mrs. John F.
Geaan, Of Division No. g.; The contest
was one of the closest and most exciting
events Of the whole bazaar, No. 3 came
out victorious by a small majority.
If in addition to other convention news
your issue Of this week does not con-

Miss Ella Heating, J. a. O'Shaugh
OF some OF the other members OF the dele

Sketch Of the hospitalities furnished the
delegates at st. Ignaee by their generous
hest there, and it q deserves to: be made
known, nothing was too good for them.
