Our Aberdeen correspondent states.
that Bishop O'Gorman, of Sioux Falls,
has consented to deliver the principal
address at the biennial meeting of
the State Historical Society, to be
held at Pierre, on January 21, 1903.
Bishop O'Gorman is one of the first
authorities on American history; for
in addition to his many years as Pro-
fessor of History in the Catholic Uni
vcrsity at Washington, d. c., and
his invaluable work as author of the
Catholic History of America, he pos-
sesses remarkable memory and can
speak off-hand and entertainingly of
every creek over which a voyageur
ever showed canoe, and every trail
over which the early explorer tramp
ed, Or the trader packed his wares,
when no other is more facile in de-
drcing the philosophy of events. The
officers are aiming to make the bien-
NAL meeting of the Society an event
not only in the life of the Society
but of the State as WELL
