was assisted in the ceremony by Father
Arctander and Father Fitzpatrick, the
latter being his successor as pastor. The
bishop delivered an eloquent address,
and eulogized the parishioners for the
noble support they had given him dur
Ing his pastorate of the church. He also
thanked them most sincerely for their
generous contribution the evening before.
and said he was not going empty-handed
to his far-off field of labor.
Fred w. Pratt, brother of Mayor Rob
ert Pratt, announces that he is a candi-
date for aldermanic honors at the hands
of the Democracy of the Third ward.
Hugh Jennings is also mentioned for
candidate in the same ward, and stands
good chance of receiving the nomina-
tion on the Democratic ticket.
Sheriff Philips has brought the matter
of his disputed nomination before the
supreme court for adjustment No mat
ter what decision may be rendered, he
cannot reasonably expect to be elected
when his party has made Whitcomb it's
choice
Joseph T. Mannix, the Bayard Taylor
Of the Northwest has returned to the city
after an extensive tour in foreign lands.
While away he visited Japan, China,
Corea, Siberia, the Philippines, Ceylon,
Egypt, Arabia, Italy, Palestine, Austria,
Germany. Belgium, France, England,
Wales, Ireland and the Straits settle
ments. The trip was made on 21 differ
ent steamers, and the various flags that
fioated over them included those of Eng
land, France, Russia, Germany, italy,
Egypt and Japan. He looks we'll after
his globe-trotting, and possesses a fund
OF information on the customs and hab-
its of Oriental peoples He will probably
give the result of his observations to the
local press when he gets into the jour-
nalistic harness.
The boys of the 18th regiment at Camp
Ramsey had battalion drill last We'd
nesday, and are anxious to get to the
front.
The Hibernian Rifles, Of this city. Of
fered their services to the governor some
months ago, but they have not yet been
afforded an opportunity of displaying
their military discipline and their patri-
otto devotion to the stars and stripes.
They have been ready to answer the call,
but the call has not come to them.
The recent decision of the state su-
preme court in the case of the state
against ]. H. Empanger, is of great i'm
portance to owners of plated property
in the neighborhood Of st. Louis Park
In that decision the ruling of the lower
court, which granted abatements on such
property, was sustained. The county
commissioners appealed the case and
were beaten, and now further applca-
tions for abatements are expected
Second papers must be taken out be-
fore Aug. s, or naturalized citizens can
not vote at the coming election. Every
man of legal age in the county of Henne-
pin who desires to vote in November
has no time to lose in getting fully nat
uralized if he has complied with the pre-
1iminary requirements and is Ions
enough in the country. Quite a number
cannot take out their second papers, and
will have to wait.
Richard Neisingh, the East side manu-
facturer of monuments, is out for the
Democratic nomination for alderman of
the Ninth ward. Up to this time The
Irish Standard has heard of no candi-
date who would be more acceptable to
the residents OF the Ninth than Mr.,
Neisingh. He is young man of good
business ability, who has lived for many
years on the East side. He has always
been Democrat, but has never before
been candidate for Office. Should he be
nominated we believe that he would har-
monize all the discordant elements in the
ward, and be elected by good majority.
The marriage of Miss Della Davey to

Austin, and Mrs. J. ]. Davey, of Mandan.
