ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PAUL.

Bishop Hanna's Visit: The Right
Bishop Of San Francisco, spent last
Monday in st. Paul the guest of the
Right Reverend Bishop Lawler.
Bishop Hanna is returning to San
Francisco from Rome where he made
the Ad Limina visit for the Most
Reverend Archbishop Riordan. He
was in Rome before the outbreak of
the war and was one of the last Amer
lean bishops to have an audience with
the late Holy Father.
The Old Cathedral: The work of
wrecking the old Cathedral of st. Paul
has proceeded SO rapidly that by the
end of the week there will scarcely
be "a stone upon a stone" Up to the
present time no trace of the corner
stone laid on July q, 1856, has been
found. The old settlers who were
positive about the location of the
cornerstone, even to the extent of
pointing it out, have had to confess
that they were mistaken. 1t may be
that the cornerstone will be found at
the bottom of the foundation itself
which will be reached some time next
week.

The week before last companies of
the older cadets marched to Fort
Smelling, where they encamped for
five days, taking possession of the
tents which the cadets of the Univer-.
sity of Minnesota had vacated. A
well-organized commissariat depart
ment, excellent tentage and beautiful
weather contributed to render the

admitted to the privilege. The morn

of camp life, the afternoons chiefly
in target practice on the ranges west
