lie knights OF America, has elected
Timothy Flynn as delegate to the state
convention to he held in Minneapolis
next month.
Miss Margaret Kelly, supreme audi
tor of the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent

William II. Murphy, the eX-Ninne-
apolis fireman, is being held in New
York under $4,000 bail on the charge
of numbering Mrs. Kramer. Chief Of
Police Conroy received letter from
the New York authorities in which
they state that they do not believe
that Murphy is guilty of the crime
At the same time the circumstances
in the case entwine Murphy in such a
way that he is being held, pending
trial.
1t is probable that all the Mime
apolis police will enjoy the privilege
of one Sunday off in each month. This
is the statement of Chief Conroy, who
further stated that he thought all the
men should have enjoyed this pri'i-
lege during all the time, but that ow
ing to the many calls for officers at
picnics and other such gatherings he
tention to give the men a day each
month off until the summer season is
past.
John Knight, young man IS years
of age, was drowned in Cedar lake
last Sunday afternoon. He was in
bathing and swan we'll out toward
the middle of the lake. All of sud-
den he was seized with cramps and
called loudly for help. Mrs. w. H.
Gibbs, who with her family is occupy
ing cottage at the lake, heard his
appeal. The plucky little woman
jumped into boat and made heroic
effort to reach him, but before she
could do so he had sank beneath the
water. His body was recovered in a
short time and taken to his home, 124
Willow street.
At meeting held Tuesday night in
the knights of Columbus hall, ST.
Paul, it was decided to give a benefit
for the House of the Good Shepherd
on Aug. 10, when the st. Paul and
Minneapolis American association
clubs will appear in regular game
at the down town park, and all the
proceeds will be given the Good Shop
herd institution. 1t was decided to
eclipse the success Of year ago, when
a game given under the same auspices
netted the surprising sum of $3,91S.33
and judging by the enthusiasm dis
played at the meeting there is little
doubt that the intention will be car
ried out. To make sure of this re-
suit strong committees We're chosen
to represent St. Paul and NIinneapo-
lis, the latter city agreeing to make a
favorable showing on the occasion.
DR.. r. w. Buckley was named chair
man, DR.. T. ]. Maloney secretary and
w. J. Murphy treasurer. A large ma
jority of the pastors of the Catholic
churches of st. Paul, and many of
those from Minneapolis, were present
and gave assurances that they would
do all in their power to make the bene-
fit success. The proceeds Of the
game last year were so large and the
expenses so small that all present We're
encouraged to make determined eff
fort to break the record, and, if such
thing is possible, double the amount
then turned over to the worthy cause.
The national convention Of the
Women's Catholic Order of Foresters
is in session in Minneapolis. The
meetings are held at Plymouth Con-
gregational church, Nicollet and
Eighth street. There are over 600 dele

celebrated at the Church of the I'm
maculate Conception at 1890 Wednes-
day morning, previous to the opening
of the convention, by Rev. T. E. Gull
len, assisted by Rev. E. ]. Moran and
Rev. James Donahue, during which
the church was packed. An eloquent
sermon followed, delivered by Rev. P.
R. Heffron, of St. Paul's seminary.
The contest over the Office of high
chief ranger will be very exciting.
Mrs. Rodgers, the present incumbent,
will be opposed by Miss Haley, Of
Chicago. For the Office Of vice chief
ranger, Mrs. Rose Rittman, of Mime
apolis, is looked upon as probable
winner.
