For Mercy Hospital Laid With I'm
posing Ceremonies.
On Friday, June 6, 1902, being
the feast of the Sacred Heart, the
corner stone of the Mercy hospi-
tai at Devils Lake was laid by
Ri. Rev. Bishop Shanley,of Fargo.
The sky was cloudy but Itortunat-
ly no rain fell till after the cere-
mony and exercises. Mayor
Wineman in anticipation of the
event, caused dodgers to be dis.
tributed announcing the time and
requesting business men to close
their places of business from o:3o
to II a. m, a request which was
heartily complied with. The
band generously lent their aid and
marched to the present hospital
to escort the Bishop, clergy and
Sisters OF Mercy to the grounds
of the new hospital. Citizens in
carriages and on foot assembled
in large numbers and when the
hour arrived the hospital grounds
presented a gala day appearance,
the band greatly added to the
happiness of the audience. The
Bishop, clergy and acolytes we're
robed in the parlor of the Coge-
low residence adjoining the
grounds, from whence they pro-
ceeded to the southeast corner of
the building site where the corner
stone was placed. The ceremony
was in Latin according to the
ritual of the Catholic church, At
the proper time Architect Han
cock carrying hammer and trowel,
presented the latter to the Bishop
who performed the technical work
of laying the stone.
At the close of the ceremony
Bishop Stanley addressed the
audience recalling the history of
the hospital of St. Vincent De
Paul which he dedicated in Octo-
Der 1895 in this city. He stated
that at his request and suggestion
Mother Genevieve undertook the
work of establishing a hospital at
Devils Lake under the manage
ment of the Sisters of Mercy, he
referred to the many cases of sick
ness and affliction.relieve through
the instrumentality of the hospi-
established in 1895. 1t is due to
the fact that the capacity of the
present building is inadequate to

supplythe demands Of the district,
he said, that this magnificent
structure is about to be erected
and also thatthe satisfaction given
by the sisters in charge justified his
opinion of the necessity of such an
institution here. From a bust
ness stand point he said that the
institution would be a source of
profit to every business man in
Devils Lake and a source of pride
to Ramsey county. At the close
of the Bishops address Mayor
Wineman made a short address
encouraging the undertaking and
exhorting the citizens to give it
their hearty support. The mayor
then Introduced Senator Hans
brough who spoke at length re-
viewing the history and progress
of Devils Lake and the good ac-
complished by the hospital, its
advantages from a business view
and its necessity. He predicted
success for the cause and invited
the Sisters of Mercy to call on
him tor financial assistance. At
torney M. H. Brennan who has
managed the business for the
hospital made a statement of the
subscriptions so far received

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet5s report of last weeks
trade 10 as follows:
The great underlying features of
trade and industry remain as favor.
able as heretofore. Bradstreet's quar-
terly returns of failures, bank clear
ings and prices all point to a heavy
business having been done in the first
three months OF the year at fair prof.
It's. while most indications as to crop
prospects favor a good summer and
fall business. Cooler weather and the
natural reaction from the before Eas-
ter activity has quieted retail trade
east and west. while heavy rains and
floods have interfered with demand
and movement in the south. Jobbing
distribution is naturally less active
than earlier in the season, but Is still
OF liberal volume. Practically unani-
nous good reports come from the win.
ter wheat crop, which has improved
instead of deterioration from its au-
tumn provise. Especially good reports
come from the central west and the
southwest. Special promise OF activ.
ity is held out this year in the building
trades, which are active buyers for
white and yellow pine, hardwoods and
hardware. A country wide activity in
this latter trade Is reported, the only
difficulty being the obtaining Of sup.
plies fast enough.
Price changes for the week were un-
important.

IN THOSE DAYS.

In these days Of our educational
campaign, it will not be thought in
apt to quote what one of Frances
greatest statesmen said on this sub
ject of education. M. Gambetta, in
a speech at Bordeaux on June 26,
1871, Just after the Franco-Prussian
war, said:
"Let us study Dur misfortunes and
, go back to the causes. First of all,
we allowed ourselves to be distanced
by other people, less gifted than our
selves, who, however, making
progress while we remained station
ary- Yes, we can establish, by the
proof in hand, that it is the inferi-
GRITTY of our national education which
led to u reverses. We were beaten
by adversaries who had enlisted on
their side caution, discipline and con-
science. This proves that on a last
analysis, even among the conflicts OF
material forces, intelligence remains
the master. And looking within is
it not the ignorance, in which the
masses were allowed to exist, that
has engendered, almost at fixed
epochs, the crises, the frightful ex-
plosions, which appear IL the course
Of your history as a sort Of chronic
i'll, to such a degree that we could
almost announce in advance the ar
rival Of the vast social tempests ?"
