Division No. ]. \. O. H., and the
Ladies' Auxiliary are preparing now to
give their annual ball, probably at Cen
trail hall. Immediately after Easter.
This double organization is known as
the Emerald club in IL social way, and
has been popular with the people for
many years back. Their entertain
ment of whatever form put on are al
ways we'll patronized.
The st. Paul Dispatch came out in a
green dress on last St Patricks day.
Il great change from some of it's former
shabby apparels OH occasions of this
kind. But then it may have seen the
error of its way, and it is never too late
to mend.
J. ]. Regain and Dick O'Brien, cam
didates respectively for the assembly,
seem to be much talked about, very
popular with young and old. 1t is to
be hoped that OH election day those
rising young men will land with Il
good majority.
Division No. i never tires in the good
work Of building up the A. o. II. They
met last Tuesday evening at Elks' hall,
initiated several new members and
from the looks of things that society
will not only send w. j. Shelly to the

tional convention of the order, but will
send with him several other successful
winners of the state prize.

meeting. initiated a class of nineteen
more young men. They also met ut
Central hall on last Thursday evening
and presented a fine program of enter

number very close to four hundred
men. 1t certainly is a great organiza-

estly assisting their beloved officers
and President r. ]. Clarke.

est and hard working A. o. II. men,

after be known as Hiawatha hall.
Brother G. A. Lane is the indefatigable
recording secretary of Division No.
and an untiring officer in that and the
Shamrock club. Those good people
should not be forgotten when Hiber-
mans of st. Paul need halls for differ
ent balls, entertainments or meetings
of whatever character.
Hon. r. A. Smith, the present and,
it is to be hoped, future mayor Of ST.
Paul, Mr.. Louis BetZ, Adolph Bremen
and james Cormican are the first four
men on the Democratic ticket, all
worthy of support.
We have now five hustling young
A. O. II. doctors in our ranks, each
