ium of the Catholic Hall, st. Cloud.
After several musical numbers and
songs, the Right Reverend Bishop was
presented with large automobile and
purse of gold by the priests of the do
cese as token and mark of apprecia-
tion of his efficient services as spiritual
head of the diocese. The presentation
speech was made by Mgr. Richter of
Melrose. This was followed by an
informal program and brief address
by Abbot Engel of Collegeville. The
Right Reverend Bishop, in touching
and soul-stirring words, expressed his
feelings of-surprise and gratitude occa-
stoned by the reception. He said that
only old age and failing health neces-
STATED his retirement, but that he
would always remember the priests of
the diocese.
Right Reverend Bishop Trobec was
born in Carniola, Austria, July 10,
1888. He completed his classical and
philosophical studies in the University
at Laibach, Austria, and pursued his
theological studies in ST. Vincent's
Seminary, Pennsylvania. He was or
dained priest by the late Right Rev
erend Bishop Grace in the st. Paul
Cathedral, September 6, 1866. At his
First Holy Mass, celebrated in the ST.
Paul Cathedral, Most Reverend John

ent in the sanctuary The first year
of his priestly labors was spent in
to the spiritual needs of
the people of Belle Prairie, Mimi, and
the surrounding country. In 1867, he
was assigned to the Church of ST.
Felix, Wabasha The church was a
log house. the first floor consisting of
quarters for the pastor and a class
room for the school children. He held
the pastorate of the church for twen-
ty-one years, during which time he
erected substantial church, parish
house and school. In 1887, he was
called to st. Paul to organize the par
ish of st. Agnes. After a year of
hard labor, he was in a position to
erect parochial school, containing a
spacious chapel where divine services
were generally held. Later on he
built the basement of the present
Church of st. Agnes. He was pastor
of this parish for ten years. On
September q, 1897, he was elevated to
the episcopate of the See of ST.
Cloud, and was given a reception of
welcome in the Cathedral, September
%, 1897. During the seventeen years
of his administration as Bishop, great
progress has been made in the did,
cese, spiritually and materially. The
Catholic population has increased con-
siderably, many churches have been
erected, and parochial schools have
been built wherever conditions al
lowed it.
His fatherly personality, simplicity
of manner and untiring energy, even
in his advanced years, have won for
him the respect and admiration of his
priests and people.

THE GAELIC EXHIBITION

the exhibit is thoroughly representa-
tive.
Miss Nellie O'Brien is member Of
the old Irish aristocracy, which i'll
modern times has felt compelled by
stress of politics to wear the ConserV-
ative badge. Her grandfather, how
ever, William Smith O'Brien, gave a
noble example to his class and creed
by taking up the cause of Irish free
dom and native civilization in spite Of
prejudices that are SO hard to over
come, and risked everything for the
sake of his country. This Protestant
aristocrat freely associated with the
Irish Catholic democracy, sharing
their sorrows, hopes and ideals, re-
specting their opinions and feelings,
even when they were not his own, and
gave an example of good breeding and
Christian courtesy, which both old
and new England have been very slow
to follow. His ideals, as well as those
of all his comrades, Davis, Mitchell,
Meagher, etc, may be summed up in
the welI-known lines of Davis, which
have lesson for other people as well
as for the Irish.
And oh! it were a gallant deed
To show before mankind,
How every race and every creed
Might be by love combined.
BY love combined-yet not forget
The fountain whence they rose;
AS, filled by many rivulet,
The stately Shannon flows.
The exhibition is representative of
Irish painting, sculpture and allied
arts and crafts, home industries, old
Irish costumes, language, literature

WHERE THE GATES OF HELL ARE OPEN

Months ago, in halls of Congress,
Villas record was proclaimed
Thief and thug and ruthless slayer,
Unabashed and unashamed.
Then the refugees, by thousands
Brought to such appealing plight
That a reprobate must shudder-
We but thrust them out of sight.
Rulers of this nation will you
Sit supine, Indifferent,
While the fiends your agents aided,
Lash the Christ to banishment?
Think not to escape the harvest
OF the seed that you have soWn,
AS God lives you'll reap such whirl-
winds,
AS old earth has never known.
Justice first: the even poising
Of the scales is in Gods hands;
In the plot each Wriggling lizard
Don't forget-He understands;
Hold your course: let His anointed,
Spit upon, appeal in vain;
Blood and tears must flow in torrents
Ere we wash away the stain.
Twas but yesterday we lifted
Unctuous voices up and prayed
That the war that's grilling nations
For their shameless crimes be stayed.
Surer than that livid lightning
Makes the towering oak its prey,
Our supineness and collusion,
Must bring Gods avenging day.

HISTORIC CELEBRATION
CEMETERY OF HOLY TRINITY
CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA is
LEGENDARY RURYlNG PLACE
OF LoNGFELLoW'S HEROINE,
EvANeELINE, AND HER LOVER.

Another of the multitude of his
toric landmarks which Philadelphia
has brought down from the days of
the nations youth is to be publicly
honored this fall with a show of pomp
and ceremony when Holy Trinity Ger
man Catholic Church, at Sixth and
Spruce Streets, will celebrate its
one hundred and twenty-f1fth ami
versary on November %. The cere-
monies to be arranged in honor of the
anniversary, should be of national in
terest, because of the literary and his
torical associations which cluster
about the ancient sanctuary.
Perhaps the point of greatest inter.
est in the celebration will be the
graves in the churchyard For among
them are the legendary resting places
of Evangeline and Gabriel, the tragic
lovers in Longfellow's epic poem
'Evangeline" The little burial
ground is now almost forgotten. Sur.
rounded by high brick walls, it is
quite invisible to passersby. The
ground is bare and muddy and Uttered
with rubbish. The gravestones, some
still standing upright and some tot
tering with age, have inscribed or
their crumbling faces the dates of a
bygone time.
The burial ground of Holy Trinity
is the smallest cemetery in PhiIadeI
phia. 1t measures only 26 feet il
width by 2S6 feet in length. The lit
tie plot was purchased by the Ger
man members of ST. Mary's Congre
CATION in 1856.

MOSS PICKERS MAKE MONEY
Swamp Product, Gatherd by Hand,
Dried and Shipped to Florist, Is
Worth $50 d Ton.

Grand Rapids.-The moss industry
in the western part of Wood county
and eastern part of Jackson county
promises to become one of the lead
ing industries of this vicinity. Dur
ing the last season the several grow
ers of City Point shipped seventy-five
carloads from that station. The
moss is pulled by hand from the ex-
tensive marshes of that region and
is dried. 1t is then baled into bun
dies weighing forty pounds each, and
shipped in carload quantities to all
parts of the United States, and sold
to florists and nurserymen. The moss
is of the white variety and is har-
vested from June l to Nov. 1. or I'M
til the water freezes in the marshes.
A good worker will pull ton or
more a day. When it lies on the
marshes it is worth only about SO
cents per ton, but after being pulled
dried and baled it brings $40 a ton
in carload lots.

FEDERAL COURT JUDGES MAY
RULE ON PERMANENCY OF
INJUNCTION.
TWO COMPANIES INVOLVED
Western Union Telegraph and Phila-
deIPhia and Reading Coal and
Iron Corporations Ask Re-
straining Order.

Madison.-A decision is expected
to be announced soon in the suits
brought by the Western Union Tele-
graph company and the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron company
to restrain the secretary of state
from revoking their franchises to do
business in Wisconsin on the ground
that they violated a statute purport
ing to prohibit them from transfer
ing from state to federal courts suits
brought against them by residents of
Wisconsin. The companies applied
to the federal court for injunctions
to restrain the secretary of state
from revoking their franchises and
arguments on the applications were
heard by Judges c. c. Kohlsaat of
Chicago, F. A. Geiger of Milwaukee
and A. L. Sanborn of Madison in Chi
cago last November.
The original action grew out of
the action brought by Walter L..
Houser against the telegraph COM
pany in the Dane county circuit court
for damages, alleging failure on the
part of the telegraph company to
transmit and deliver a telegram sent
from Philadelphia to a Mr.. Blum at
Mondovi, Wis. The telegraph com
pany applied for an order from the
court permitting it to take the mat
ter into federal court, which was
granted.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company is a plaintiff in the
present action through the suit
brought by Ole Huen against the COM
pany claiming damages for injuries
alleged to have been sustained while
in the employ of the company. The
action was started in the superior
court of Douglas county and upon re-
quest of the company the case was
removed to federal court
The right of the secretary of state
to revoke the licenses of these COM
panies is based upon section 1770f
of the statutes of Wisconsin in the
following language:
whenever any foreign corpora
ton doing business in this state shall
remove or make application to re-
move into any district court of the
United States any action or proceed
ing commenced against it by any cit
izen of this state upon any claim or
cause of action arising within this
state, it shall be the duty Of the sec
rotary of state, upon such fact be-
ing made to appear to him, to re-
woke the license of such corporation
to do business within this state"
1t is expected that the decision of
the judges will involve the validity
Of the law and determine the right
of the State to say whether actions
started in state court may be re-
moved to a federal court on the pc
tition of an interstate corporation,
having headquarters outside of Wis
consin.

MAY LICENSE LAND AGENTS
Wisconsin Advancement Association
Approves Plan Whereby Prospec-
tive Settlers Would Be Protected.

Milwaukee.-At a meeting of the
Wisconsin Advancement association,
a resolution providing for a state sys-
tenn Of licensing real estateeagents as
means of preventing the sale Of
worthless land to prospective farmers,
was approved. Supporters of the reso-
luton claim that the sale of poor land
in the northern part of the state has
started the rumor that all of the land
in the MOI tn is worthless and that it
has discouraged many persons from
settling in that section. AS there is
a vast amount of agricultural land in
upper Wisconsin, the passing of
law to protect would-be settlers from
exploitation would hasten the develop
ment of that part of the state, it is
claimed.
