Society Of the Cathedral high school
entered upon its second quarter of
the scholas':c year by the election
OF officers. Archie Mcdowell was
elected president; George Walker,
vice president; Emil Ruff, critic. Jo-
seph Dillon, secretary; Clarus Graves,
historian; Joseph Greusen, treasurer;
Joseph Murphy, sergeant-at-arms. Sew
eral candidates were nominated for
each office, and the above named were
elected only after bitter struggle in
each instance. The new president
and vice president are among the
most popular young men in the school,
both standing very high in their re-
spective classes and in athletics.
The last two months have been a
period of prosperity for the society,
both from a literary and financial
viewpoint. All the members have
taken very active part in the heavy
program arranged for each week. In
contest in oratory, carried on over
several weeks by means of eliminat-
ing contests, the first honors in the
society were won by Alfred Scanlon,
Clarus Graves ranking second and
Harry Ryan third. The social features
have not been overlooked. With a full
treasury the society finds itself able
to enter upon a number of entertain
ing projects. George Wagner, chair
man of the committee on social af-
fairs, has announced for the present
a Thanksgiving banquet and a series
of joy rides.
The Orphanage Guild in connection
with the Bishops club has changed
the day of its meeting from Monday

making of garments for the friendless
little ones and all interested in this
charitable work are invited to attend
it's meetings.

| The Pittsburg Steamship company
has decided to cease navigating Lake
Superior for the rest of the year
although it is rather early to lay I'D
the boats-on account of the uncom-
, mon severity of the weather Thir-
teen of the company's 105 boats have
been at the Duluth ore docks for some
time, the intention being to load them
with ore and send them on another
| trip before retiring them for the VIM
| ter, but that idea has been given up.
They will be put into winter quarters
at once at the Duluth, Missabe &
Northern coal docks. Three other
boats belonging to the company are
headed for Duluth bringing cargoes
of coal.
| The thickenss of the ice in the bay
has compelled the Duluth-Superfor
Ferry company to lay up its boats,
the earliest time for the last II years.

presence of ice of six inches of thick
ness at this time of the year will

contention of marine authorities in
the Twin Ports. Capt. A. c. Majo,
of the ferry line, said recently that
the ice was in some places six inches

the river. Heretofore the ferries have
piled between the ports as late as Dec.
1, and the earliest time they were
laid up during the past II years was
Nov. 20.
