HOLY ANGELS ACADEMY.
Conducted In Minneapolis by the Sis
terS of ST. joseph.

The schools Of Minneapolis are truly
the city's crown of civic glory. That
one of the brightest gems i'm that bril-
liant diadem gives convincing testi-
mony of the worth of Catholic educa-
ton to Catholic womanhood, gives
proof indisputable Of excellent meth
DDS pursued by Catholic educators in
secular and religious education, has
long been a matter of pride to North
western Catholics.
The Holy Angels Academy of Mime
apolis has for almost q quarter of a
century admirably supplemented the
work of it's provincial house, st. Jo-
seph's academy, st. Paul. Some of
Minnesota's worthiest women call the
Holy Angels "Alma Mater; among its
graduates are young women following
honorable avocations; others are up
holding the dignity of Christian
womanhood amid the engrossing af-
fairs of the society world; not few
have remained within the fold Of the
sisterhood to enter the life of the re.
ligious. In the varied careers Of many
worthy daughters; the Holy Angels
reads praise more grateful than that
which tongue or pen can give.
The Holy Angels Academy was es
| tablished in 1877. In location, at least
the first five years Of it's existence were
precarious enough, though there was
never a doubt of the ultimate success
of the school. Its first home was or

Editor of the Irish Standards:
We are to-day in this country con-
fronted with a most grave and serious
condition OF affairs, which, threaten at
no distant period to disrupt the dearly
purchased liberty that has hitherto been
enjoyed This usurpation of the peo-
pies rights is likely to affect, more par
ticularly, the Irish race, because OF the
combination which is working to con-
summate design so dark and afro
cious.
1t was indeed sore distress to the
Irish people, when oppression compelled
them to flee and leave forever behind
them the green hills and pleasant wales
of their dear native land, to seek among
strangers home in some distant cline
Whatever sadness this severance from
home and friends may have produced,
the intensity of its bitterness was in a
great measure notified by the prospects
of freedom which awaited them in the
land of liberty; and how consoling it
must have been to the minds of those
incensed exiles to assemble when ami
versaries of great national achievements
were commemorated, and join with
those eulogists OF victorious ancestors,
and declare with them the downfall for
ever of British domination and tyranny
in this land made free. But now what a
hideous nightmare seems moving over
the face of the land, for within the ex-
istence of single generation all this an
cient glory has become vitiated, all the
blood and treasure expended, all the
toas and struggles of patient endurance
accomplished. is absorbed in wave OF
degenerate infatuation, which consigns
those great sacrifices made, and the bold
achievements won to the shades of utter
oblivion.

IRISH BRIGADE IN THE WAR

Delayed Letter from Gallant Major
M'Bride.
The following are extracts from let
tiers from Major Mcbride, of the Irish
brigade with the Beers. Though belat
ed, they are most interesting. The de-
lay OF their reaching us is due to post
office difficulties put up by British CEN
sorship, says the Freeman's Journal of
Dublin.
Con the day Of the big fight (Oct. 3o)
here the English shells drove everyone
off the hills, except six or seven artillery
men and the Irish brigade. Our guns
ran short of shells. Commandant Mich
ardt sent round to me for volunteers to
keep UP the supply, and twice the num-
Der that was asked for jumped to their
feet at once. The whole army was
proud of the pluck displayed by my brig
adiers. Two of our chaps got wound
ed while carrying the shells, and of all
the commanders in the field that day
we had the greatest number of casual
ties, about IS per cent. Colonel Blake
was wounded in the arm half an hour
after the fun began, and then I took
over the command, and since that time
have had the honor OF leading the
inductors OF royal characteristics, the
brigade in all our principal engage
| ments.
"In laying siege to a town fortified
as Ladysmith is, it is only now and
again you get into close quarters with
the enemy. We have been nearer to
the town than any other commando.
That in itself is something, and when
any special piece of work is to be done,
requiring nerve and pluck, the Irish
brigade is always to the front, and ever
ready to lead the van.

dows affording charming view at
every season Of the year.
With but strip of lawn intervening
stands the grammar school Of the Holy
Angels Academy. A plain frame build
ing two stories high, surmounted by
cross, it is typical modern school
building. The entire second floor is
used as an assembly room; the first
floor is divided into class rooms. Six
teachers give instruction to $50 pupils.
The studies pursued in the elementary
grades are the usual English branches,
with rudimentary instruction in vocal
music and drawing, in plain sewing
and every branch Of fancy work. The
curriculum includes q full academic
course, and when completed, gradual
ing honors are conferred.
| At the Holy Angels Academy pupils
of all denominations are received, but
all are asked to conform to the disci-
pline prescribed by the faculty. Both
day pupils and boarders are accepted.
The scholastic year is divided into two
sessions of five months each, the first
commencing the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, the second the first Monday in
February. Admittance, however, will
not be denied to pupils at any time dur
ling the session.

ue Lifted Something
Came Loose.

The old saying that appearances are
deceptive" was very tritely exempli-
fled one night recently, says the PhiIn-
delphia Times. Owing to the delay
caused by the snowfall, the cars of the
Seventeenth street line that run down
Chestnut were blocked for some time
in the northern part of the city. When
the first Of a line of ten appeared at the
Junction, they again found progress
impeded. This time ii was the switch
ing rail which was frozen tight, and
the united efforts Of the motormen
could not move II. There were not
many people in the cars, but those who
were each in turn applied his strength
to the switching iron. Even burly
negro OF Brobdlgnangian proportions
failed ANONYMOUSLY. There remained
only one of the crowd who had not
made the attempt, and he was. in the
parlance of the street, "a bloomin'
dude" lie had spent his time in the
car attcntively chewing the end OF his
stick and reading the advertisements
with a self-conscious air. He was like
unto the flowers, gorgeously appareled.
A long brown paddock coat surmount-
ed an unimpeachable dress suit and
large bunch OF yiolets dangled from
his buttonhole. He got off and gaxed
dreamily at tire proceedings. When
the negro failed, divesting himself OF
the long coat, he threw IL to a.motor-
man, and, grabbing the iron with APP
parent ease, he forced back the rail
and held it calmly in place while the
seven ears passed over IL. Then for the
first time the people noticed an un-
looked-for breadth of shoulders and
depth of chest. Say, mister, amt you
Sandow?" queried little gamin. "Not
quite" laughed the dude. III only
played quarter for Yale couple Of
years." which again goes to prove that
appearances are not only deceitful, but
antruthful.

There In IA Plague of Cats and Spar
rows and Too Many WORTH

People arriving in New York from Der
muda say that the island is overrun
by eats and sparrows. The nuisance OF
the plague has even been discussed In
the colonial legislature at Hamilton.
Visitors from the United States seek.
ing the balmy climate OF Bermuda are
complaining especially of the ''cat
gangs" which nightly disturb their
sleep, says the New York Journal.
When the dog tax bill came up before
the legislature, DIR. r. A. Outerbridge,
one OF the members OF the council, pro-
posed an amendment. In doing so he
said:
81 should like TO see the bill recast
and a heavier tax put upon dogs, be-
cause we have too many worthless ours
in Bermuda. / should also like 10 see
tax put upon cats. You may laugh,
but IL there is any useless animal In
this world IL Is cat. Cats may be OF
some use in some countries, but they
are OF no use here. They do not kill
rats. They do destroy our native birds.
81 have not seen a blueblrd In six
weeks, and there ought 90 be plenty
OF them here now from America. l
have not seen one this year. and before
long all our native birds will be exter-
minatcd-between the cats and the

FROM THE MINES
WANTED!
A crew of good
miners to sink shaft at
the Dunn mine,
s. G.. Bennett.
Supt.
The Coe.

Ellsworth S. Coe, Emil Gaiser
and Walt Youngs have an ex-
ploration just north Of the Hia-
watha mine at Iron River that is
looking very promising and bids
fair TO turn out to be Il mine of
large proportions. The find is To-
Gated on the lands Of VIM. Selden.
A pit had been sunk upon the
property several years ago and
some ore found but owing to the
bottom dropping out of the iron
business work was stopped and
the property remained idle until
q few months ago when Mr.. Coe
and his associates took il up
and continued the pit down to
the ledge which proved to be
good ore. They timbered up
their shaft and went down in the
ledge twenty feet and then
started crosscut. About this
time the water got SO heavy that
the windlass and bucket method
proved expensive and so q small
boiler and pump was secured
and placed beside the pit. The
crosscut showed up q vein Of
clean ore about fourteen feet
wide. The ore lies in the jasper
and the hanging wall OF the lens
seems to be pitching away from
the foot and n very great angle
giving promise that at u depth
of, say 100 feet, the lens will
show up rluch better width.
Upon this theory they started to
sink their shaft another lift of
about fifty feet when they will
crosscut the tense again. The
first crosscut is so near the top
that nothing definite can be told
of the quality of the ore rs much
of the Gaping rock is mixed
i'm with it, An average sample
of the dump. though, showed
$500 iron and OF phos. They
are hoping that in the next lift
the ore will clean up
to about sixty in iron and remain
the same in phos which will give
them a fine ore just over the
bessemer limit and thus very
desirable for mix.
