Irish Band Wins.

"Concessionaires' Day" on Thurs
day. September 8, was one of the great
special days at the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition, in st. Louis. Among
the various features of the day was
a magnificent parade, in which all the
nations and races of people represent
ed at the fair participated, each con-
cession being headed by large brass
band. Some Of the musical organiza,
tons were very large, that Of the
Philippine Scouts aggregating more
than one hundred musicians. Some Of
the principal bands of the United
States, as we'll as from foreign coun-
tries, We're in line.
Ireland was represented by ten
jaunting cars, beautifully decorated
with artificial flowers and flags, drawn
by splendid thoroughbreds, and filled
with the prettiest of colleens. The
cars were preceded by Ireland's Own
Band, of Dublin, which played Irish
music exclusively, along the line Of
march. The Irish section was univer-
sally conceded to be the neatest and
daintiest portion of the parade, and
was greeted by thunders of applause
as it passed through the mass of
sight-seers.
AS the Irish contingent neared the
reviewing stand, their band struck up
an arrangement of the Lament of the
Irish Emigrant" The trim, military

SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION
Administered to a Large Number by
Bishop McGolrick.

The services at st. Francis church,
Brainerd, last Sunday, were the most
impressive since the organization of
that parish and the day will long be
remembered.
The event Of the visit of Bishop
McGolrick to that city was in itself
reason enough to make the day an i'm
'portant one, but the fact that 227 per-
sons We're confirmed made the event of
unusual interest.
The services in the morning at 1890
O'Clock were especially interesting
The choir rendered AIallard's mass.
Solemn high mass was celebrated with
Father Floyd as the celebrant, Father
Johns as deacon, Father Patt as sub
deacon and Father D. w. Lynch as
master of ceremonies. After the SOL
emn high mass Bishop McGolrick adj
ministered the sacrament of confirma-
ton to the large class, and the cere-
mony was very impressive and beauti-
full. Those who We're confirmed were
marched up to the altar two by two.
The audience was very large, nearly
half Of the number present being COM
PEELED to stand.
In the evening solemn vespers were
celebrated. Father Johns was the eel
ebrant, Father Scheimer deacon, Fa-
Their Patti sub-deacon, and Father D..
w. Lynch master of ceremonies.
Bishop McGolrick assisted at the
throne at both services.

How to Make the Jubilee.

The conditions laid down by our
holy father for gaining the indulgence
Of the jubilee of the immaculate con-
ception may be summed as follows:
l. Confession and communion.
2. Three visits to the cathedral or
parish church, to be made within the
period of time designated by the ordi-
nary of the diocese.
3. One days fast such as is required
according to the law of the church
during Lent
4. Prayers on the occasion of the
three visits to the cathedral or parish
church; (a) for the liberty and exalta-
ton Of the Catholic church and the
apostolic see; (b) for the extirpation of
heresies, and the conversion of all who
are in error; (c) for the concord of
Christian princes, and the peace and
unity of all the faithful; and (d) for
the intention Of our holy father the
Pope, who has most graciously grant
ed this universal Jubilee.
The three visits mentioned above
may be made in one day if persons so
desire. Children who have not made
their first communion can make the
jubilee without receiving holy COM
munion.

How to Breathe

Many persons, walking in the city,
make it. a rule to fill the lungs as full
as they will hold of air each time they
come to street-crossing, holding the
breath until the farther side Of the
street is reached. This is an excellent
habit to form, but it is not always
possible to observe the rule while
lodging cars, cabs and automobiles.
The best time for special breathing
exercises is at night before retiring
and in the morning before the bath.
Standing upright with the head
thrown back, the mouth closed and
the arms at the side, rise gradually
to the tiptoes, raise the arms slowly
to the horizontal position, and keep
ing them we'll back of the body,
breathe in as deeply as possible; then
slowly lower the arms to the side, and
come down fat-foot while expelling
the breath as fully as possible. Re
peat these movements about four
times a minute. Begin as before, but
do not stop when the arms are horizon
tai. Continue to raise them until they
are stretched as high as possible, the
hands not being allowed to come to-
gether, but kept apart the width of
the shoulders or little more. Con-
tinue to inhale until the hands are as
high as possible, hold the breath for
two or three seconds, then exhale slow
ly and fully as the arms are lowered
to the side.
These exercises and many variations
of them grow easy with practice, and
if performed night and morning in a
well-aired room will increase wonder
fully the vital capacity.

The Broad-M Minded Woman.

The surest way to cripple, if not to
wreck, an organization, no matter how
good its objects and Jealous its men,
bership, is to put at it's head small
minded woman, says the Boston Pilot.
She may mean we'll, but her admin
stration is fruitless of good results be-
cause she unduly magnifies her own
office, while minimizing all others.
She is not content to do her own
duties. 1t isn't "being president" if
she hasn't finger in every pie. She
is constantly interfering with the
treasurer and the secretary; she wants
to be on every committee, and to rep.

The marriage of Miss Margaret o.
Bricn and John Dunn, two popular
and well-known residents of Assump-
ton, Mimi, occurred at the Catholic

Rev. l.. Carey performed the cere-
mcny. Miss Katherine Sharkey and
John p. Blake We're the attendants.

John Mics, an old resident of AS
sumption, and father of the Rev. J.

disease and his recovery is very
doubtful.
Rev. Lawrence Carey, who has been
pastor of Assumption for six years,
took leave of his flock last Sunday

Confessional and Morality.

The influence of the, confessional in
maintaining morality is strongly
shown in recent English book named
"Illegitimacy." We are unaware if
the author is Catholic but his stat
tics are striking. In the volume DR..
Lethingwell, after having given the
tables for eleven years (1S79-1SSS).
says:
"Year after year, of each 1000
births in Scotland, there are almos
twice as many illegitimate as in Eng
land and Wales, and more than three
times as many as in Ireland" And
this average is borne out by the;
statistics given for England in 1891,
and Scotland and Ireland in 1892
C'Stateman's Year Book" 1S94-
namely 70 per thousand in Scotland,
~ per thousand in England, and only
25 per thousand in Ireland.
The detailed statistics also show that
the comparatively small number of 25
per 1000 is disproportionately contrib
uted by the Protestant districts of that
country. This, again from DR.. Leth-
ingwell's statistics of eleven years, we
have from five counties in Ulster,
which is more than half Protestant,
Antrim 50 per thousand, Down 81,
Londonderry 4G, Tyrone Al, and Done
gal 16 donegal being mostly Catholic);
from three counties in Munster, which
is mostly Catholic, Limerick % per
thousand, Glare Is, Kerry Is; from
three counties in Connaught, where the
infusion of Protestants is least, Gal
way 10 per thousand, Sligo 8, and
Mayo 5
OF the remaining Irish counties DR..
Lethingwell does not seem to have sta
tistics, but there is no reason to sup
pose that if we had them they would
tell different tale-a tale which we
can appreciate the more when we no.
tice that in the same tables the high
est and lowest figures for Scotch
countries We're Banff 1854 per thousand,
Ross and Cromartie Al, and for Eng
fish counties Shropshire 50, and Es-
sex 81.
The New York Sun lately had an
editorial on the subject of suicide. In
referring to local conditions, it made
the following statement: "Out of last
years aggregate of S06 suicides, about
30 per cent were native born, 25 per
cent We're German, and less than Z
per cent We're Irish. In view of the
large number of citizens of Irish birth,
the showing is striking.

ABOUT LEADERS,
Where Irish Catholics Are in Bad
Prominence.

1t is singular fact that nearly all
the leaders and managers of every
strike from the Atlantic to the Pacific
are Irish Catholics, says Father Phe-
Ian, in the st. Louis Western Watch
man.
1t only shows that the men who
trust them do not know them. These
men are gifted with the CAB, and
while they have no influence in the
workshop, where gabbers are held in
contempt, they are all powerful in the
lodge room, where takers rule the
roost. 1t is also very singular that
the names of these men with Irish
names who figure so extensively and
prominently in accounts of strikes are
very seldom seen in the real estate
transfers. They will never be found
in the collection lists or pew rent
books of their parish churches. They
pass their parish priest without recog-
nizing him. Like this man Donnelly,
they proclaim themselves Socialists
and emancipated from the laws of
church and state.
Priests know these gabbers and rate
them at their true value. Their fell
low Catholics have their measure and
calibre and trust them not We have
Il word of advice to offer the poor
dupes of these lazy spouters: When
they ask for Office in the union see
that they produce not only their union
card, but also the card of their parish
priest certifying that they have made
their Easter duty. If they cannot pro-
dllce the latter they are crooks and
professional agitators, who will sell
anything and anybody for considera-
ton. Give one of those Cabling Irish
workmen an Office in the union and
you settle his attitude to labor for
evermore. He is done with it, and
he will never return to the workshop.
He will open a saloon first and become
Il full-jowlcd friend of the working
man.
We are not surprised that the Irish
are always found among the first to
follow the order to strike. They are
chivalrous and by nature detest a
coward. When it comes to battling
for any cause in which they are en-
gagged they never stop to reckon the
cost before striking blow. AS they
are the first always to throw down
their tools they are the last to give up
the fight. This we expect of them.
But how is it that they follow such
wnd-bags for leaders! No man has
more contempt for n lazy gabber than
an Irishman. He has no use for the
man that talks when he should work.
If Irshmen would set their face
against these upstairs and singers
they would be kept at the bench,
where they belong, and when moral
force is to be appealed to, they would
have time called on their vaporings.
We repeat Irish Catholics enjoy too
much bad prominence in strikes now
adays.

appearance of the men and their clean

appearance of the men and their clean
cut execution Of the music brought a
storm of cheers and applause from the
tens of thousands Of spectators who
thronged the plaza, and the cars came
i'll for their share, as they followed.
1t was a sight that made Irish hearts
beat high, for in that three miles of
procession, dazzling the sight with
gorgeous oriental color, there was
nothing as beautiful as the simple dis
play made by Ireland.
Immediately after the dispersion of
the parade, the judges met to decide
the winners in the various contests.
To Ireland's Own Band was unani-
mously awarded the first prize of one
hundred dollars in gold for the best
appearance and performance of the
day. The Boer war section, composed
of seven hundred veterans of the con-
flict in South Africa, superbly mount
ed, carried off the first prize for APP
pearance, but Ireland came in a close
second, taking the second prize of
fifty dollars in gold.
n girl in the Paris section won the
prize for being the most beautiful
woman in the parade, but only after
much discussion, as one of the Irish
girls, Miss Josephine Collins, was
named by several of the judges. Miss
Collins was dressed in simple white,
with red Kerry cloak, and looked the
ideal Irish beauty. She was awarded
the second prize.

At the morning service Bishop Nc
Golrick spoke, the general trend Of
his sermon being the relation Of the
parent to the child and how the child
should be trained to go. 1t was an
excellent sermon and was enjoyed by
the vast throng very much. He con-
graduated Rev. D. w. Lynch and also
thanked the ladies for their work in
decorating.
Father Floyd, Of Duluth, preached
at night on '"The Duties of the Parent
to the Child" He is forcible talker
and held his audience spellbound
throughout.
The day was an unusually crafty
ing one to Rev. D.. w. Lynch, of st.
Francis. and his work has endeared
him more closely to the hearts of his
parishioners than ever before.

woman can play on a man.

woman can play on man.
True friendship between women is a
matter of doubt with most men.
An old maid sees a lifelong enemy
in every old bachelor she meets.
\ man is the most important piece
of furniture in a woman's air castle.
\ girl eagerly swallows a young
mans words when he says ice-cream

The bonds Of matrimony would be
more popular if they paid cash divi-
dends.
OF course, marriage is a lottery;
that's why the law interferes in so
many cases.
The relations of a mans wife al
ways expect more of him than he ex-
poets of himself.
Women love three times; the first is
accidental, the second design and the
third despair.
No fair maid can successfully chew

love at the same time.

Unemployed in DubIip.

Shortly after noon on Thursday a
scene of an unusual nature was wit
ncssed in the principal streets of the
city. The condition % labor in this
as we'll as in many other large cities
is already too we'll known and felt
by the working class. For months
past large numbers of laborers have
been discharged from various city
firms owing to the continued depres-
sion of trade. So large are the num-
bers that the unemployed corporation
laborers at a meeting, as a last re-
source, and in order to provide
bread for their furnishing wives and
families, decided to band together, and
to march in professional order through
the streets and to solicit help. From
the city hall close on to 200 unem-
ployed laborers, headed by banner
bearing the inscription, unemployed
Corporation Laborers," borne by two
of the strongest men, started out.
The procession was marshaled by men
with large biscuit boxes converted into
collection boxes, who entered the vari-
GUS shops on the route traversed, and
everywhere their efforts were reward
ed. A most striking feature of the
procession was, Notwithstanding the
long-felt hardships and want of many
of the poor men, all turned out clean
and tidy and marched with military
precision.
The march has been continued every
day since.

Punish and Pardon.

Last night my little son was sent
Unkissed to bed, with angry eyes
And lips that pouted wilful wise;
This was his mothers punishment
"A gentler woman does not live,
But yet she tarried to forgive.
The childish fault the passionate deed
They must be checked; so in the
gloom
He stumbled to his little room;
He was too proud to weep or plead !;
saw his mothers eyes grow dim,
In tender yearning following him.
But in the silence when he slept
Undried the tears lay on his cheek,
The little face seemed very meek.
How piteously, perchance. he wept
Before he took to Sunderland
The grief he could not understand!
Then tenderly his mother smoothed
The fair tossed hair back from his
brow,
And kissed the lips so passive now.
But woke him not, since he was
soOthed,
And there beside his little bed
She knelt and prayed while
instead.
All! so. dear God, when at the last
We lie with closed and tear-stained
eyes,
And lips too dumb for prayers or
signs,
Sorry and punished for the past,
