THE sl.Hop or DULUTH.

Last Wednesday, the feast Of the
Immaculate Conception, the pastor AMI
people Of the pro- Cathedral parish of
Minneapolis celebrated the twentieth
anniversary of the elevation Of Bishop
McGolrick to the episcopate. At the
invitation Of Father Cullen. the bishop
came down from Duluth to omciatu
at solemn pontifical Mass in the
church built by himself and Of which
he was the beloved pastor for more
than twenty years. In the evening,
Bishop McGolrick was the guest OF
honor at dinner given by the knights
of Columbus at their elegant new club
rooms. to which all the priests of the
city were invited. Following the din
ner there was public reception from
to 1880 p. M. and the spacious
rooms Of the knights were crowded
to their utmost capacity by the old
and new friends of the popular prel-
ate.
Bishop McGolrick's heart was GLAD
dened on seeing so many Of the early
Catholics Of the city present on the
occasion. Some Of the men and wo-
men who came to see him were bap-
tized by him many years ago. and
some of them were mere children when
he left for the head of the lakes. He
had some difficulty in recognising
many of them, and the bright, intelli-
gent young men and lovely young wo
men who were born after his depart
ure he met for the first time. Several
others who had been his closest
friends in the days gone by were con-
spicuous by their absence. They HAD
gone to that country from whose
bourne no traveller returns.
Twenty years is long interval III
the span Of life, and life itself is but
brief span from the cradle to the
grave. The Bishop must have thought
of the absent ones who were dead and
gone as we'll as of the living. Some
Of his nearest and dearest friends
among the clergy and laity had gone
to their eternal homes during the past
twenty years, and the most of his old
parishioners will have followed them
in the next twenty years. One gen

place. But what is the use Of NOR
alizing or philosophizing? That has
been the case since the world began
The Bishop himself referred to the
wonderful changes that have taken
place in this city in the past twenty
years. He declared that the advance
ment made by Minneapolis during
that period has been truly phenomenal
and the most remarkable Of any city In
the United States. When he arrived
at st. Anthony Falls in 1868 this city
was one of modest proportions. Now
it covers ffty-one thousand square
miles and has population of 100000.
Then it had one Catholic church; now
it has more than twenty.
No man in his day contributed more
to the moral social and intellectu:

McGolrick. His impress is beneficially
felt to this day and recognized by his
former fellow-citizens without regard

or clerical. stands higher in the es-

Bertram c. A. Windle, F.. r. S. says
in the Catholic World that Catholics
are ignorant of their own history. It
does not require man to be a Fellow
of the Royal Societ, to make such al,
assertion. Any Knight of Columbus
could say the same after listening to
applicants for knighthood when inter-
rogated on Churc! matters 1.-THE
Church. says Mr.. Windle, "has been
the mother and in very many cases
the fondly loved mother, of more great
writer's and of more discoveries in all
branches of discovery than have all
the other religions of the world pat
together" What he says is true, but
how many educated Catholics can
prove it to the satisfaction of our sep
grated brethren who believe the world
was in Egyptian darkness up to the
so-called Reformation of Luther and

Has Met with Rem.rkabl. Success.

Word comes from Chicago Of the be-
ginning of the construction of a new
building in which Minnesota people
have more than usual interest.
Three years ago a Minnesota con-
Germ, or more particularly Maurice L.
Rothschild of the Palace Clothing
house of Minneapolis and st. Paul, de-
termined on venture which looked
very daring and to some of his friends
even risky. He went to Chicago and
started retail clothing business in
that city, choosing location in the
very center of the most powerful COM
petition, with the express intention of
showing Chicago that Minnesota had
something new and better to offer in
the business of selling clothes, which
Chicago hadn't seen.
A handsome eight-story fireproof
building was erected and three years
ago the business started under the
name of Maurice L. Rothschild. 1t
has been a spectacular success; the
most remarkable success ever known
in the history of the clothing business.
The same high quality merchandise,
the same high principles Of doing bust
ness, the same liberal treatment Of GUS
toners which have made the Palace
Clothing House a beacon light in the
clothing world, have won a marked
success in Chicago.
The methods of this concern were
new to Chicago; and Chicago approved
of them from the first day That ap-
prevail has now justified an enormous
expansion of the Chicago store, and on
December LIST work was begun on an
addition to the building now occupied,
which will be like the present building,
eight stories. $4,000 square feet of floor
space added. This gives the concern
a total floor area of $4,000 square feet,
by far the largest and finest building
devoted exclusively to the sale of fine
clothing in the world; fireproof build
ing, specially constructed for this BUSH
ness. and to be occupied exclusively by
it.
sofa has contributed this improvement
to Chicago: and to know that Mime
sofa business methods have met with
so large reward in that city.
