ACTUAL WORK TO BEGIN.
Organization of Catholic Association
of University of Minnesota.

The project that has lately been set
on foot by the Catholics of the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota is attracting the at
tention Of the people of this state and
Of the Northwest generally. They pro-
pose to erect in the region Of the
campus a building that will serve as a
center for Catholic life at the univer-
sity, and assist them in making the
Catholic association what the promot-
ers hope to see it become.
The University Catholic association
was organized in the spring Of 1900
and since that time has known a most
prosperous and flourisling life. The
two dozen young men and women who
initiated the movement have seen Il
gratifying growth, for to-day the mem
bership includes more than one huh
dred Catholic students. The need for
such an organization had long been
felt, and when the University Catholic
association announced as its purpose
the securing Of intellectual light up
on subjects of common interest from
the Catholic point of view, and great
or social advantages for it's members,
it's coming was naturally hailed as a
boon.
After a years time, when the asso-
citation had demonstrated its earnest.

organizations, but the numbers and ad

The sentiment of the conference was
expressed as favoring the extending
of an invitation to Mr.. Devln to make
public address in Minneapolis on
April p. Mr.. Devlin accepted the i'll
vitation and a committee was appoint
ed to arrange for the event.
Personally, Mr.. Devlin is of small
stature and ones first impression from
his manner is one of great reserve and
mildness. But, upon the floor, he is an
impassioned and powerful speaker.
He has been in the United States
now for ten months. visiting the large
cities of the east. From Minneapolis
he will go west, holding meetings in
Denver, Salt Lake City and many of
the larger towns. His return to Min
neapolis, April 81, when he will speak
here, will mark the beginning of his
homeward trip to Ireland

by cable into an elevator at Thirty
fifth street and the Milwaukee tracks.
The head was nearly severed from the

hat and laid his head across the rail
just as the foremost car was within
ten feet of him, so that it was impOS-

Coroner Williams arrived and searched
his pockets, he found among other
things coil of rope, showing that the
suicide had determined to end his life
by hanging if this means failed.
