The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1897-03-27
Division No, a.

After an interval Oh I0ur WEEKS LII
vision No. held regular meeting on
the evening of the 18th inst, and a good
ly number were present, notwithstand-
ing lowering sky.
The brothers are profoundly sorry for
Brother Michael Gleason whose home
has been visited by the angel OF death.
The circumstances of the sad occurrence
were thus: One day last week, Hannah
aged years, daughter Of Brother Glea-
son, fell into tub of boiling water and
was SO badly scalded that death resulted
in few hours. The little one was the
joy of her parents home.
|! The Minneapolis Journal will go down
in history as the most persistent libeler
of our race in this~city. The vile carica-
turing of st. Patrick on the 18th was on
par with the insulting filings which
that paper has repeatedly made at our
people, and it behoovevs the Irish Of
this city and state to let the Journal Sc
verely alone, to close the doors of their
homes against it and treat it with the
contempt it deserves. The Evening
Journal is the most scurrilous sheet In
Minnesota and no respectable citizen
should pollute his home with 1t. Let the
Journal and it's asinine proprpietors go
back to Massachusetts, where such car
toOns were once hailed with delight. i ne
time has gone, by for such caricatures to
have any effect on the standing of Irish
Catholics in. this city. Our race will not
suffer oefi }1!{Ssf of the Journals .antipp-

Had thetpugflists who met in the ring
at Carson followed the teaching of St.
Patrick they you'd be different men to-
day, and Corbett might not have been
thumped in the cardiac region as hard
as he was. That the Californian was
knocked out BY o blow over the heart
seems like, retrribuiton. st. Patrick aught
fidelity to VOWS made at the altar. Pom
padour JIM despised that teaching, and
now his proud curl is humbled in the
dust. QUIZ sympathy was with Jim, and
when the battle was lost, we wept for
Americas waning glory. -
Brother James McKenna is sick with
typhoid fever, but under the skillful
nursing Of his aunt, who is 'unremitting
in caring for him, we hope to see him
recover in a short time. Sickness also
prevails in the home Of Brother Joseph
Manning, whose wife is quite i'll, and
with children to look after, the affection
is doubly hard on "Joe.'' go. -.
Division No. 3, Ladies' Auxiliary, has
changed it's time OF meeting. Hereafter
this division will meet ON the second
and fourth Tuesdays Of the month at 8
O'Clock D. m. AS George WASHINGTON
stood in reference to his countrymen so

hearts Of the members of our division.
and every true member will stand by the
ladies to the end. .--
The next meeting of the committee on
Cadet organization will be held at La
