Rev. Father Nicolayc, Administrator OF
Victoria, and Father Brosscau, OF Port
land, accompanied His Grace from Vic
toria. Fathers Orth, O'Rcilly, Hughes
of Portland, and Prcfontaine and Crib
ben Of Seattle, Wash, formed the clcri-
cal part Of the delegation; the laity we're

He claimed that with the Catholic
the good, practical Catholic-religion
and love OF country went hand in hand.
The first was the true origin OF the Sec
ond, for history tells lis that the greatest
patriots OF every age were men, the
foundations of whose characters were
based on religion and morality.
The Archbishop concluded by thank
ing those present for the right royal
welcome which they had extended to
him. He hoped and trusted that the
coming years would unite him and his
fellow Catholics and citizens of all de-
nominations in still closer bonds of mu-
tual regard and esteem, bonds sprung
from common desire to travel up and
onward in Gods service and mans anne

The audience rose again to their feet
as the Archbishop closed his remarks,
and they made the welkin ring by their
loud and enthusiastic applause.

Where Was Washington Welded?

although one OF the most interesting
events in Washington's private life, his
wedding has been comparatively neg

Ladies Home Journal. at is generally
agreed that the ceremony took place on
the sixth of January Cor the seventeenth
OF january, new style), 1850. But as to
whether it was performed in st. Peters
Church, in New Kent County, or at the
home Of the bride, known as the White
House, there is wide variance of opin-
ion. The weight OF local authority is
against the belief that it occurred in the
church; nor is there any record in the
church indicating that the couple were
married there, although its rector, the
Rev. Mr.. Mossom, who had been in the
pulpit for forty years, solemnized the
contract. On the other hand, those who
insist that the clergyman oficiated in
the church point to accounts that Wash
ington rode on horseback on the day Of
the wedding, and that the pair were at
tended by bridal cavalcade, as evidence
that there was a journey between the
church and the home of the bride. This,
however, is offset by the conjecture that
the cavalcade was escorting the couple

Their Barney, many Of the friends of
both bride and groom being present to
do them honor. Miss Julia Hen
messy, sister of the bride, filled we'll
her part as bridesmaid, while Edward
Helm, OF the Flour City, was equal to
the occasion in the capacity Of grooms-
man. Then there were the little flower
girls, Misses May Keefe and Ella Fran
els, nieces of the bride. They, too, de-
serve special mention, fol-. they per-
formed we'll their duties The bride, in
white French batiste dress, never look
ed more charming, while equally attrac-
tive was the bridesmaid in dress of
pink batiste cloth. The groom wore the
regulation black. At the close of the
nuptial mass hearty congratulations were
showered upon the young couple by
those who had been present during the
services which bound them until death
doth part, and then wedding dinner
and reception followed at the home OF
the brides mother in Boardman, be-
tween the hours of IL and S o'clock in
the afternoon, where pleasure and good
cheer reigned supreme. The dinner-it
could not we'll be excelled-was enjoyed
by large number and they came from
near and far. Father Barney was
amongst the number. So, too, were
Mr.. and Mrs. John Sullivan, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. O'Brien, Miss Mary Murphy
and Mr.. Edward Helm, of Minneapo-
lis. The happy couple were the recipi-
ents of many presents at the hands of
friends and they were all of choice and
useful nature. In the evening they left
for their new home in Minneapolis, fol-
lowed with the blessings and good wish
es of a people who had known them
only to respect them. With them The
Irish Standard joins heartily in extend
ing its earnest and kindly congratula-
tons. May they see much OF the sun-
shine of life and little of the opposite.

fruit. The division, under the old Off

My! What a Menu.

The weary denizens of the city will
find it again to their advantage in many
ways to be reminded of how peerless a
place for picnicking and celebrating the
Fourth they may find so near home, and
still so strange and unlike their everyday
surroundings as the noble hill that ena-
bles one to feel as if ON the top of the
world, at Mendoza. This year every
thing needed for good orthodox and
withal sober celebration, will be provid-
ed there at the picnic of the hospitable
people of old ST. Peters church. No
one who has ever peen to Mendoza
picnic need doubt the assurance of the
local poets little lay:
"For feeding, fun and freshness,
In romance and picturesqueness,
For "a time" that will not break you,-
Or the fellow who may take you.-
Should you ask me where to go to,
l should answer you: "Mendota!"

On his arrival he went before Judge

on three charges, to which he pleaded
not guilty, and was bound over for trial

sembly All rose to their feet to greet
the new prelatc, and for few minutes
the opera house rang with the repeated
plaudits Of the vast audience. Arch
bishop Christie said that the reception
given to him that evening made him
feel at home in the city OF his future
labors, the queen city of the Pacific
slope. One of the speakers had in flat
tering terms likencd him to that great
American hcro-Admiral Dcwey-bc-
cause OF the coincidence that both had
come from the state OF Vermont, and
because the gallant ship, Oregon" had
done marvellous work in unfolding the
honor Of the American navy. But, while
he appreciated the complimentary allu-
sion, he could not dream OF coming into
rivalry with the great son OF Vermont,
the echoes OF whose guns rang round
the world in bold proclamation OF Amer
lean daring and American prestige.
In referring to the historic allusion
made by Judge Sears, concerning the
missionary labors OF the Jesuts in the
great Northwest, he expressed his pleas
urc at the tribute paid to those pioneers
of the Faith, and he dwelt at some
length on that salient point OF Ameri-
can history of which Judge Sears also
made mention, that Catholic Maryland,
first Of all the colonies, proclaimed the
grand principle OF religious liberty-a
principle founded on the teaching of the
great Catholic Church OF which he
(Archbishop Christie) was a representa-
tive.
