An old, historic city, there are many
things to interest the visitor in New
Ulm. Added to the list but year
ago, the Stations of the Cross erected
along the roadside west OF st. Alex
| ander's hospital in 1904 is an attrac-
| ton that fills the mind with wonder
| ment. 1t is something beautiful to be-
| hold, we'll worth in itself journey to
| New Ulm to see. Here, too, on the
| same grounds, the Grotto of Lourdes,
| dedicated August Is, 1902, comes be-
| fore the eye, and further on up the
| prettily shaded road, when the last
station is passed, the chapel of the
Sorrowful Mother is reached. The
| Stations of the Cross were erected un-
der the supervision of the Sisters of
the Poor landmarks of Jesus Christ,
and were dedicated in September, 1904.
All have been built of cement and
brick at a cost of $4,000 on spot of
ground that nature itself would seem
to have set apart for the purpose.
| Julius Collier of Shakopee enter
tanned the delegates and the people
of New Ulm in general way with a
| couple of excellent addresses during
the convention. Mr.. Collier is an en-
PERTAINING speaker and won new lau-
| rels there.
