TRIBUTES or LOVE.
Rich Gifts Presented to
Bishop Healy.
Marvellous Basket Work From
Maine Indians.
Silver Ware to Stock a
Big House.
The Exercises at st. Joseph's
Academy Yesterday.


In the several rooms OF Right Reverend
Bishop Healy's residence are many beau
tiful tributes which have been sent to
him from various sections of the state and
the whole country as well, by devoted
Catholics to commemorate his grand
Silver Jubilee.
1t would be difficult indeed to fifty de-
scribe these remembrances which embrace
a variety of the richest and most costly
vestments, missals, cut glass ware, etc.,
and pieces of silver numerous enough to
supply the wants of the largest household.
There was also a beautiful set OF can
delabra and an altar card which was q
very fine specimen of pen and ink work
from the Sisters in Lewiston.
Another tribute unique in its kind and
one which the venerable bishop doubtless
will prize as much as the more costly
ones,is that from the Indians Of Oldtown
and Pleasant Point In the shape of bas-
kets wrought in the most attractive de-
signs. Resting on table yesterday In
the parlor of the residence was piece
of basket work marvelously put togeth-
er, standing several feet high with how-
ers of every shade cut from wood, the
handicraft of these skilful Indians. The
piece was but one of many OF all sorts
of fanciful designs and besides these
was variety of Indians work all In all
making an exhibition which one rarely
sees
