CARDINAL BESTOWS
BLESSING ON TOTS
Little Ones Gather About His
EminenCe on ST. An.
thony Hill

While waiting at the corner of Chats
worth street and Selby avenue yesterday
forenoon for the SPECIAL car that was to
convey him to Minneapolis, Cardinal Sa-
tolli surrounded by two score of small
children, called the little ones about him
and gave them his blessing. Some of the
children We're barefoot and in rags, while
others were from the more wealthy fam1-
lies of the st. Anthony hill district, but
all were accorded the same treatment by
his en1inence, who appeared delighted at
the presence of the little tots.
There was no shade at the corner, but
kindly woman had thoughtfully provided
q chair for the cardinal, and as the chill
dren approached the cardinal, he placed
his hand upon their heads and gave them
the blessing of the church. 1t was
most impressive scene, and the little
ones gave evidence OF their appreciation
by receiving the blessing and stepping
back in reverential silence.
Not word was spoken during the i'm
promptu ceremony, but when his emf
nence had boarded his car and waved
farewell salute, a hearty cheer went up
from the proud little group in the street.
Spent the Day in Minneapolis
Cardinal Satolli spent the greater part
of yesterday in Minneapolis, where he
and the visiting priests and dignitaries
of the church were entertained at
luncheon at Lake Harriet. The tables
were on the open portico, directly facing
the lake.
Before leaving for Minneapolis the car
dinal spent the early part of the day at
the home of Archbishop Ireland. Shortly
after 10 O'Clock Cardinal Satolli and party
walked over to the Selby car line. where
they boarded the private car of Thomas
Lowry. 1t was while waiting for Mr.
Lowry's car that the cardinal received
and blessed the little children who gath
cred to witness his departure.
The party proceeded direct through the
Twin Cities to Lake Harriet, not making
the scheduled stop at the West hotel on
account of the lateness of the hour. 1t
was after Il o'clock when the party
reached the lake, and the cardinal was
escorted at once to the pavilion where
luncheon was in waiting. The tables We're
arranged in a long line. extending the
length of the porch. with his eminence
occupying the seat of honor. Much of the
conversation was carried on in Italian.
The day was an ideal one. and the car
dinal remarked more than once upon the
beauty of the scenes about him.
Father o'ReilIy Welcomes Cardinal
Following the luncheon Rev. Father
O'Reilly made a brief address, in which
he spoke of the pleasure it gave him to
have the cardinal present. That pleasure,
the cardinal was assured, was joined in
by the people of the Twin Cities and the
Northwest. Cardinal Satolli responded
briefly.
A short time was spent in seeing the
beauties of the lake and park. after which
the party returned to ST. Paul, where
Cardinal Satolli was taken to Archbishop
1reland's home.
In the party yesterday, aside from the
cardinal. were:
Archbishop Ireland. of st. Paul: Arch
