Bishop McGolrick heartily approves
of the effort toward making Sibley
House the Mount Vernon OF Mime
sofa, the purpose for which "A Night
Off" is to be given Oct. IS at the Ly-
ceum, under the auspices Of the Du-
luth Daughters of the American Revo-
luton and he hopes to see the play
a great success. The bishop knew
Governor Sibley for years, has often
been at the house, and has thought
many times that it should be a mu-
scum of history There are relics in
the vaults at the state capitol, he
said, which belong at the Sibley house
Bishop McGolrick was interested in a
historical society, which flourished for
a time in Duluth, but died and his
wish is that it might be revived. He
met Governor Sibley often in con-
nection with the work of the board OF
regents at the university, and remem-
bers with amusement asking the re-
gents for aid in preparing exhibits
for an exposition. Governor Sibley,
being we'll on in years, did not un-
derstand what Bishop McGolrick was
asking for and knew he was church
man and said he was opposed to fav-
oring any sectional purpose. MY
dear FRIEND" said the bishop, speak
ing directly to him, II am not repre-
senting a section. ] am representing
the whole country" Sibley saw his
mistake, laughed, and with the gen
erosity for which he was famous, did
his best to further the bishops plan.
The members Of the Duluth d. A. r.
are greatly encouraged by Bishop
McGolrick's willingness TO express
publicly favorable interest, and hope
that this may mark the beginning of
Minnesota history.
