An Up-to-Date Undertaken.

The removal of the veteran under
taker, Terrence Connolly, from the old.
place on Second street, where he has
been doing business for the past Is
years, to his present large and hand
somely furnished quarters at 80 South
Sixth street, brought vivid recollections
to the mind of the Irish Standard re-
porter as he stood in the empty back
room a few days ago of the old store
which was for many years known as
Connolly's morgne. What history that
room has. Here it was that nearly all
the unfortunate victims Of the many dis
asters which happened in this city were
brought until the county norgne was
erected few years ago by order Of the
board of county commissioners.

Manitoba Schools.

A Winnipeg dispatch of the ed inst.
saws: The returns from the remote rural
districts of St. Boniface, which were not
to hand until today, have completely
changed the aspect of the result. All
the calculations of shrewd politicians
seem 50 far to have been upset, and the
claim of the Laurier- Greenway party OF
a moral victory on the parochial school
settlement was altogether too premature
The rural districts seem to have gone
almost solidly for Archbishop Langev-
ms candidate. The church, with all re-
turns in, seems to have achieved an un-
qualified victory. Lauzon has between
1870 and 100 majority in total vote cast
of about 600.
In Canadian elections, if the defeated
candidate does not receive one-haf the
number of votes cast for his opponents,
he loses his cash deposit. This ignomlny
was only escaped by the government
candidate by a few votes.
Archbishop Langevin declares himself
as we'll satisfied with the result, as snow
ing Roman Catholic sentiment to be nos
tile to the plan of settlement.

Christian Truth.

The following is a condensation of the
sermon delivered at st. Charles church
or Is st Sunday by Father Cleary:
The principles Of truth proclaimed by
the religion of Christ the same in all
lands, under all conditions of human
civilization and culture. The seed Of
eternal truth, scattered broadcast among
men, il; not of different nature or quail
ity for the special needs of the rich and
poor. 1t is the same for all. 1t has
brought forth similar fruit among all.
its COLLIER blossoms are not the result of
the accidents of wealth, of family dis
tjnct1oa, of intellectual culture, or of
mans social standing. The f1uitfulness
of Gods word depends upon the soil in
which it is cast. Everything depends on
how m IN receive anu apply the teach
ings. If the human heart be hardened
by pride, be checked up with the cares
and ansiieties of worldly interest, be-
comes Irresistible to wholesome inf1u-
ences b. ayarice and selfshness, we can
not expect the seed of Gods word to
take deep root in such unfriendly soil.
The dill icslties which many men pretend
they find in believing the great truths
of relit ion are not difficulties of religion,
but they are difficulties found in the
hearts of men, who are not willing to
yield their prejudices, their pride, their
person al convenience, or their personal
profit 20 the direction and authority of
God. Let each man beware that his
heart is not 'stony ground"

Bible Higher Criticism.

DR.. Danehy delivered very fine lee
ture to large audience at the cathedral
recently in Duluth on Higher Criticism
Of the Bible" It was mastery effort
and one which has been received with
admiration wherever he has delivered it.
He criticised those who attack the Bible
unreasonably and without making al
lowance for the time and the circum-
stances under which the different parts
were written. He said it should not be
held to be unreliable because of what
it leaves untold any more than Thomas
Jeffeson's tombstone should be held to
prove that he was never president OF
state the fact.
Dr. Danehy Possesses ,nost H,iea.;n5

.tractive. Every. word that fell from his
lips was easily heard Throughout the
spacious building. His reasoning was
clear and convincing. The entire audi
ence regretted that verbatim report of

Frate1'rial Religion.

The signed article in the Irish Fagarc,
the topical journal OF Ireland, contains
the following paragraph: ....
'In the principal town Of northern
county a splendid Catholic church is
nearing completion, and most happy
feature of the long-continued work of
raising the necessary funds was the
hearty cooperation of Protestants in ba-
zaars and other functions. The local
newspaper Protestant and Unionist
organ half a century old-aided the good
work to the best of it's power, and not
even a discoraant note from an Orange
Lodge was to be heard. This WAS as it
should be. When Protestant and Cath
olic show q disposition to fraternize,
and to be human, the interference of
priest or parson is to be deplored in a
country so tOrmented as Ireland is with
sectarian strife. In all such cases a
mastery inactivity is much better than
severe separation of the mingled hocks,
and re-establishment of that aloofness
that forms a hot-bed for the growth Of
envy, hatred, malice, and all kinds OF
uneharitableness.
THE town above referred to is Omagn,
the capital of Tyrone, and the local
newspaper is the Tyrone Constitution,
of which Alex Scarlet, of this city, is its
special correspondent. If the editor is as
broad-minded in his views as it's CORE
spondent Omagh is happy town to

interesting meeting last Wednesday IN
their hall. The interest in these meet
ings is becoming more marked every
day, as evinced by the increased at

due to the efforts of the officers VINO

NlndI10n ne WIS placed aR f4af8e OF a
parish in Memphis. where St Peters
church stands, a splendid monument to
his memory.
In 1859 he was called from his South
ern home to take charge of the diocese
of ST. Paul-then a frontier settlement.
He was consecrated bishop in the spring
of that year, succeeding Joseph Cretin,
the first bishop. With what zeal and
success he carried CA the work appor-
toned to him the history of the diocese
of st. Paul tells in recounting the story
of the various institutions and estab-
hshments that have sprung lip during
those years. In July, 1854, finding the
burden Ioo heavy for his Aagging ener-
gies, he resigned the bishopric of St.
Paul into the hands of john Ireland,
present archbishop.
A prominent Catholic clergyman said
in speaking of the deceased: Arch
bishop Grace was a remarkable figure in
the American episcopate. He has left
the impress of his great bat retiring
soul upon the church. Those who
came into contact with him could not
fail to admire him for his purity OF soul,
refinement of mind and graciousness OF
manner.
while he has not taken much part in
church affairs of late years, he has al
ways kept in touch with the progress OF
events and has sown the seeds of work
that will appear during many years to
come. He was certainly remarkable for
piety, scholarship, gentleness and gener-
osity of heart and mind
The customary practice in the Catho-
lie church of placing the body OF a de-
ceased bishop or archbishop in state in
the cathedral church was departed frem
in the case of Arch bishop Grace, and in
stead his remains were on view in the
chapel of St. Joseph's hospital.
At 7:45 o'clock Thursday morning an
escort of 200 men from the different
parishes and 20 priests moved in process
sion from the cathedral school, at the
corner of ST. Peter and Seventh streets,
to the hospital to receive and bring the
body to the cathedral. The priests and
seminarians assembled in the school
house at $50 a. M, and marched to the
front of the cathedral to await the pro-
oession from the hospital. The bishops
and officiating clergymen assembled in
the cathedral residence at the same hour.
At 8 o'clock the office of the dead was
chanted by the seminarians. A solemn
pontifical requiem mass began at 10
o'clock in the cathedral, which was sung
by Archbishop Ireland, assisted by a full
chcir. The sermon was preached by
Right Rev. Bishop John Stanley of
North Dakota.
