ST. JEAN BAPTIsTE CHURCH.

Americans Of French origin are not
newcomers in Duluth; ever since the
days of Daniel Greysolon Du Luth
(1679), they have explored and even
settled these distant western lands.
= " French missionaries were the
pioneers of Catholicity at the head of
the Great Lakes; their names are IA
miliar to every student of American
history.
The discovery Of iron ore in Mime
sofa, the large numbering business and,
about 1870, the building of the st. Paul
and Duluth Railroad brought many
French Canadians to Northern Wis

most prominent were; Camille Poir-

FATHER IcIEk SAILS.
Well Known Duluth Pastor Left for
France-WiIl Work With the
Polish Red Cross.

On Saturday, October &c, Rev. Stan
ley A. Iciek, pastor of st. Mary's
Church, Duluth, and one of the best
known priests Of that diocese, left for
France. He will serve under the
auspices of the Polish Red Cross as
chaplain with the rank of captain.
After his return to this country he
will enter the field as lecturer on
the war.
Father Iciek is known throughout
the state for his energetic work in
connection with the war. One of the
most telling war posters was one de-
signed by Father Iciek and drawn by
A. G. Mccoy. Of course the object
is Red Cross, for though Father Iciek
has given Of his energy and ability to
promoting every phase Of war work,
Red Cross is nearest his heart.
He has SO organized his church that
every afternoon and evening Red
Cross classes are busy there, while
he, himself, nearly every day and
evening, has been preaching the Cos
pei of this best war for saving the
world" to all the people of Duluth
and other communities. The design
of this poster was suggested to him

down at Big Lake, on the Fond du

The loss is insignificant.
The Rev. Father Simon, o. S. B.,
has now no place to celebrate Holy
Mass for his Indians, either near Clio

with his confrere, the Rev. Raymond
Basel, 0. S. B., at 1924 w. 3rd ST.,
Duluth. The Church of the Holy
Family will have to be rebuilt next
spring. Those who are blessed with
the goods of this world will have an
opportunity to aid an Indian mission

ST. ANTHONY DE PADUA.

The German population of Duluth
belonged at first to the Sacred Heart
Church. In 1891 it was decided to
organize separate parish The
church and property owned by the
Presbyterians were purchased for
$20,000.00. The Cathedral parish con-
tributed 100000 to the fund of the
new ST. Anthony parish. The church
was remodeled to Catholic use and
dedicated May 7, 1891. The basement
was used for school purposes. The
first pastor was Rev. Francis Kosmerl.
In 1905 Rev. #. S. Kosmerl left the
diocese and Rev. John A. Limmer took
charge. In 1897 Father Limmer re-
turned to the Cathedral as secretary
and Rev. Francis Hufnagel. formerly
pastor of ST. Mary's Church, Crooks
ton, was. appointed pastor. In May,
1911, the parish celebrated the Twen-
tieth Anniversary of its foundation,
the exercises. being held in the Polish
School Hall on Fourth Avenue East

ST. CLEMENTS CHURCH.

The parish was established by
Bishop Seidenbusch, o. S. B., in 1887.
The first pastor was Rev. Timothy
Vaeth, o. S. B. His successors were:
Rev. Stephen Koef1er, 0. S..B., Rev.
NJ. Rettenmaier, o. S. B., Rev. George
Scheffold, o. S. b., Rev. Alfred Meyer,
o. S. B., Rev. Edward Ginther, o. S.
B. The present pastor is Rev. Ray
mond Basel, O.. S. B. The assistant
pastor is Rev. Hyacinth Cisnowski,
o. S. B. The parish of st. Clement
owned three frame Structures
church, school and residence, but on
the last Sunday Of January, 1910, the
frame church was destroyed by fire.
The parish hall was at once fitted
up for divine service. Plans for the
present beautiful edifice were drawn
by Briellmaier & Sons, Milwaukee.
The cornerstone was. laid by Bishop
McGolrick on Sunday, October 2, 1910.
The material used is gray granite,
pressed brick with trimmings Of Lake
Superior brownstone. On Sunday,
16, 1911, the church was dedicated.
Rt. Rev. Abbot Peter Engel pontifi-
Gated at 1890, and Bishop Heffron of
Winona, preached. In the afternoon
the various Catholic societies of the
city marched to the church, where
Bishop McGolrick performed the cere-
mony of dedication, and delivered the
sermon. A, banquet was then served
by the ladies of the parish and toasts
were responded to by some of the
local and visiting clergy. The church
cost about 100000. 90.

CORD, and it is faithfully reproduced.
9On one side Of the central shield,
with the Red Cross at the top, is the
Red Cross worker making hospital
supplies. On the other is the field
nurse kneeling beside wounded SOL
der, and the legend for the worker
is: IF I Fail, He Dies" What more
impressive lesson can there be for the
Red Cross worker?
1.-The idea for stimulating interest
by means of the posters said Father
Iciek, came to me from a story told
by my friend, Lieut.. Paul Perigord, of
his experience at the battle of SOis-
sons in May, 1915, in which, for his
conspicuous bravery, he was deco
rated on the battle field.
"'Our company reached the railroad
station of scissors, said Lieut.. Peri
CORD, '''but the French units to our
right and left were forced to retreat.
We decided to hold our ground at all
costs, despite the fact that my COM
pany was cut off from all communica-
ton with the rest of the French
forces. Our position was good start
ing place for a new attack and a
further advance, and so we held. For
several days my men fought without
food and drink and all this time we
were subjected to very severe bonn
bardments by the Germans who tried
to get us out. We had many casual
ties and not having sufficient supplies
of surgical dressings, we were forced
to tear our shirts and coats for band
ages; nevertheless, twenty of my boys
died the very first day for the lack
Of surgical dressings.
Il could never forget this simple
recitation Of this very pathetic Incl
dent" continued Father Iciek. Il al
ways see those boys lying dead at the
railroad station of scissors, their
mangled bodies and gaping wounds
tied with dirty rags, boys who could
have been saved for their mothers and
their country by sufficient and proper
Red Cross supplies. l can always
hear the rustic of newspapers with
which the mothers of heroic France
we're forced to wrap their newborn
babes because they had no garments
for them.
Those thoughts brought to my
mind the idea of a poster, which
would, in a striking way, bring home
these facts to every one in whose
heart CLOVIS a spark of human love"

SIS. PETER AND PAIL.

The church on Twenty-fourth Ave
nue. West and Fifth Street was built
in 1901 under the management of the
trustees, Anthony Koneczny, Stanis-
laus Walczak and Anthony Kasmirek.
Rev. w. Rakowski was pastor from
March, 1902, to June, 1908. He was
followed by Rev. Michael Sengir, who
remained from June to September,
1903. In October, 1903, Rev. Leo Las
koWski took charge and ruled the par
ish till January, 1909. About this time
the Independent Poles made a deter
mined effort to secure the title to the
property. The matter was fought out
in the courts till the decision was rem
dered in favor Of the Roman Catholic
authorities. In 1911 Rev. Jos. F. Gle
minski, formerly of Wells in the Do
cese of Winona, came to Duluth to
reorganize the distracted parish. A
furnishing school is conducted in the
basement Of the church. May 8, 1915,
Rev. J. f. Cieminski was transferred
to Holy Cross parish, Minneapolis,
Mimi, and the Bishop appointed Rev.
F. T. Schultz to take charge. The
number of class rooms has been in
creased to four and four Benedictine
Sisters are in charge. The present
number Of children enrolled is 200
