The Character of the Beers.

AS for the character OF the Beers, it
is very black indeed, if VIC are to be-
1ieve their English critics, says JAS w.
Garrison in September Donahoe's.
Rider Haggard never introduces one Of
those bearded giants into his African
novels without leaving lis under the i'm
preston that we have been in company
with creature half tiger, half ape, and
sometimes even cowardly! A few Eng
lish writers and many German and
French ones give us different idea OF
the Beers. II am not quite sure" says
M. Bordeaux, in his "Rhodcsic ct
Transvaal," paris, 1888, Chat I know
the Bocrs WE'LL but I cannot help pro-
testing against the venomous articles OF
certain journals that attribute all kinds
of base qualities OF mind and heart to
them. They are nearer to nature than
we, civilized folk, are, but they are not
perverted. I have been in several
farms and have found the family we'll
united, the authority OF the father re-
vcrcd, the mother esteemed and loved.
The boys and girls are delightful; they
are SO obliging, and so obedient to the
slightest nod OF their parents. But you
have only to look into their eyes to
discover the uprightness and kindness
Of their hearts; it has long been said
that the eyes were the mirror of the
soul"

Deaths of the Week.

Edward O'Brien, aged 72, died Sept.
9 at his home, 1873 Tenth avenue N. E.,
after an illness Of several months. Mr..
OBrien was one of the pioneer resi-
dents of Minneapolis, having located
here some forty years ago. He.leaves a
wife, three grown sons and daughter.
The funeral services took place Monday,
Sept. II, from St. Anthony of Padua
church, where requiem mass was cele-
brated. Father Kelly pronounced a
eulogy on the deceased. The floral Of
ferings were abundant and beautiful.
Wednesday morning Andrew Hickey,
living at $40 Sixth street north, was
found at his post of duty in the yards
Of the Omaha railroad cold in death.
He had left home apparently in perfect
health, and had been at work but an
hour or so, when heart failure, as I'M
expected as it was fatal, caused his de-
mise. To his wife, whose health was
not robust, the news OF his death was a
terrible shock, causing the premature
birth of child. Mrs. Hickey, though,
seriously ill, is expected to recover.

An Editor Passes AWAY.

John Blanchard, for ten years editor
in-chief OF the Minneapolis Times, died
at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning at his
residence, 13o East Fifteenth street. Mr.
Blanchard had been i'll for the last six
months from nervous prostration, and
to this and lesion at the base OF the
brain is due his death.
John Blanchard was born in San
dusky, O., in 1842, and had he lived
until March he would have been fifty
eight years old. At an early age his
father, who was Methodist minister,
removed to Bclleville, Ont, where John
attended the Bellcvile academy, and
was graduated.
His first visit to Minnesota was in
1860. when he came West with gang
OF 200 men under his charge to work
on the Iowa and Minnesota division OF
the Milwaukee road, then being built.
After a few months spent here, he be-
came travelling correspondent for the
Ottawa Gazette, going all over the
West. 1t is said his articles describing
the Western country are responsible for
the emigration OF many Canadians.
From this time on he was writer,
first for New York publishing house
and later as correspondent for East
ern papers. He came West few years

CATHOLIC CONVENTION.
To Be Held In st. Paul During the Com
Ing Week.


Tomorrow the German Catholic Cen
trail societies OF the state will convene in
ST. Paul. The opening OF the conven-
ton, which will continue through the
week, will be marked by monster
parade OF the Catholic societies Of the
state, augmented by Catholic orders OF
all nationalities in the Twin Cities.
The Ancient Order OF Hbcrnians OF
Minneapolis as we'll as OF St. Paul will do
we'll to turn out in full force with their
brother Catholics in the grand process
sion. There should not be one Hibcr-
nian in either city found absent from
the parade, and it is most ardcntly hoped
that not only the members and cx-
mcmbcrs-if such there bc-will be in
line but that each A. O. II. man will
bring along at least one friend to march
along side OF him in the parade,-thc
largest ever held in Minnesota. Let not
one A. o. H. man in the Twin Cities
absent himself, so that the grand order
Of Hibcrnians will be the largest So
cicty represented.
Every Irish-American in the Twin
Cities who will attend will be furnished
with plenty OF green ribbon at Cretin
hall at 80 next Sunday afternoon,
where all will meet and march in body
to the starting point designated by the
grand marshal There will be two Irisl,
bands for the Irish division, which will
have front place in the line.

later and was editor OF the Monticello,
Iowa, Express for twelve years. He
was postmaster in Monticello under
Hayes.
He next moved to Dubuque and be-
came editor Of the Dubuque Times.
Dubuque was then aDemocratic strong
hold, and Henderson was running for
congress. The fight was bitterly con-
tested one, and the credit for Hender-
sons victory was given to the Times
editorials. Mr.. Blanchard was ap-
pointed state oil inspector for two years.

almost Immediately became editor-in-
chief of the Minneapolis Times, which

forts applied to individual cases, where
good might be done. But he was not
man to parade his good deeds or let
his left hand know what his right hand
did for his neighbor.
Mr.. O'Brien was man of very
marked personality, but it has been said
of him that he had not an enemy in the
world. This was probably due to the
punctilious respect which he showed to-
ward the rights OF others. In converse
ton he was at his best. He had great
command Of words and ready wit, but
graceful and spontaneous; he always
said the right thing at the right time.
Never word OF gossip or scandal or
an unfeeling jest fell from his lips.
Dillon O'Brien was always an earnest
worker in the cause of temperance, and
one Of the organizers Of the temperance
societies which have helped to raise so
many to manhood in this state. AS far
as he acted with any party, Mr.. O'Brien
was Democrat, and in recognition OF
his services to the community, the
Democratic party gave him compli-
mentary nomination for clerk of the
supreme court in 1870, at time when
election to any state Office on Demo-
cratic ticket was out Of the question.
Mr.. O'Brien was always a devout
Catholic and led life of purity and
devotion TO his religion. He died sud-
denly Feb IL, 1882, while visiting Arch
bishop ireland at his home, and breath
ed his last in the arms OF the friend he
had loved so we'll. Mr.. O'Brien left
four sons, Christopher D., John D.,
Thomas D. and DR.. Henry J. O'Brien,
who are among the most prominent and
respected citizens OF St. Paul today, all
fitting representatives Of their great and
good father.
