Mr.. and Mrs. A. Waldron and
young son have returned home after
spending the holidays at Ishpeming,
Mich.
In nearly all of the Roman Catho-
lie churches in Duluth on New Years
Day there were high masses at the
same hour as on Sunday. At the
Cathedral the service was at 1890
O'Clock and the very fine music
that was given on Christmas Day was
repeated. Flaaten's orchestra as
sisted as it did then.
The services at st. Anthony's Ger
man Catholic church New Years Day
was as follows: Low mass at $50
o'clock and high mass at 1890 o'clock.
BY special request the very fine
music given on Christmas Day was re-
peated. The members of the church
are enthusiastic over the splendid ef-
fort made by the choir. The program
was very fine.
A boiler of the steam heating sys-
TEN of the Sacred Heart Institute ex-
ploded Tuesday evening of last week.
The explosion was due either to a
blunder in managing the boiler or to
a deliberate effort to blow it up. Three
valves belonging to the boiler were
found closed. The southeast end of
the building was damaged to the ex-
tent Of about $780,. More than sew
enty persons were in the building at
the time of the explosion, but there
was not the slightest injury to any.
! The boiler that exploded was one of
a battery of four. There had been no
fire under it until late in the af-
ternoon, two boilers being sufficient to
heat the building in mild weather.
On the floor above the heating
plant, but not in the same part of the
building, about twenty children were
playing. In the chapel on the third
floor Bishop McGolrick was conducting
service and there were sisters of the
Order Of st. Benedict present. The
rumbling explosion and noise of fall
ing glass stopped the playing of the
children and the service in the chapel,
and the children and sisters quietly
left the building. There was not the
slightest confusion. Examination
showed that portion of the boiler
had been blown through the floor of
the first floor and stopped by the cell
ing.
One of the most largely attended
funerals ever held in this city was

by Rev. Hogan in the Catholic cathe-
dral at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Besides large number of personal
Friends and relatives, the members of

ISOLATION turned out in a body and in
the funeral procession this organiza-
ton was headed by the Third regi-
ment band. The interment was at
Calvary cemetery.
