possession to the church. Solemn re
qniem was celebrated by Bev. Father
Quinn, after which the casket was
opened and hundreds of friends took op

the pleasant features of one whom tbey

February 21,1887.

Gov. McGiU has, appointed Wmj.
Louis Kelly to the newly created dis
trict court judgeship. The Irishmen
and Catholics are to be congratulated on
this elevation of one of their number.
And thus it should be. Fully one-third
of the population of St. Paul is com
posed of Catholics, and it is but right
and just that they should be honored
with one of the four district judges.
There are some uisgruntled ones this
time, but all men cannot be pleased
With a Lawler as assistant tJ. S. district
attorney, a McCafferty a U. S. commis
sioner, and a Kelly a district judge the
Irishmen and Catholics of St. Paul may
truly say, we have our representatives.
Mr. Kelly is a native of Kentucky, and
is now about fifty years of age. He
graduated from the law department of
the University of Louisville. His father
was a lawyer of marked ability, and his
grand-father was an honored judge for
upwards of 30 years in Kentucky. Mr.
Kelly came to St. Paul 22 years ago, and
is well known, not only in this city, but
throughout the whole Northwest. He
nas ever been one of Ireland's most bril
liant orators, thrilling many an audience
by his earnest, learned and eloquent

Special Correspondence to the Irish Standard.
Jas. Allicott died Sunday morning at
his residence on Ninth street The de
ceased was 71 years of age and has been
a resident of Winona many years. He
leaves a wife and three children, Fu
neral services were held at St. Thomas
church Tuesday morning, Rev. J. B.
Cotter officiating.
The citizens of Winona are gratified
at having clean sidewalks once more.
They waited patiently for the city offi
cials to enforce the ordinance requiring
the sidewalks to be kept clean, but their
waiting was in vain, until the sun was
merciful enough to clean them.
Municipal election is approaching
and politicians are becoming quite nu
merous. Many important questions are
to be settled by the coming elections.
Bonding the city for $200,000 is creat
ing considerable excitement. The
Winona & Southwestern railroad asks
for $100,000 while the parks and sewer
age would require $100,000 more.
Many of the young men of our parish
are investing in city lots. It looks as if
congratulations would soon be in order.
Messrs. P. Riley and T. "J. Cleans
were intending to spend the 17th at
Rochester. As they both belong to the

Spring
Novelties!
In Our Various Departments.
During the last few days we have been very
busy receiving new Spring Goods and preparing
them for our sa'es counters. These shipments
comprise a good portion of our import orders
and a magnificent collection of high specialties
Dress Materials.
Our Mr. S. Segelbaum, together with our
Mr. Fred I. Reed, of our Silk and Dress Goods
department, and Mr. G. E. Guiwitz, of our Mil
linery department, are now in New York, and
have been there just long enough to learn what
is NEW, ELEGANT and TASTEFUL, and they
have agreeably surprised us by forwarding their
first selections of Novelties by express, so as to
enable us to display them here thus early in the
season. We speak more particularly to-day of
our novelties in SILK AND WOOL
DRESS FAB
RI CS
Dress Trimmings and Buttons
—AND
MILLINERY GOODS.
In these departments we can promise you a rich treat and can safely say
that the most critical, as well as the most expectant, will not be disappointed.
The most costly Dress Goods novelties come in single robes or patterns. There
being no duplicates, ladies desiring an exclusive costume had better make the
earliest possible selections. Our exhibit of these beautiful productions in simply
marvelous and cannot be too highly praised, and compares favorably with the
most lavish displays made by the most progressive and largest houses on the
continent.
JET TRIMMINGS

Embroideries! Embroideries!
DOUBLE STOCK.
In the summer of 1886 we placed our regular import order for Embroideries
with the representative of a European manufacturer, and were shortly after
wards informed by this manufacturer that, owing to his being overcrowded with
orders, he could not possibly fill ours. We, of course, supplied ourselves from
another source, and received our regular spring stock some four weeks ago. To
o.ur surprise, however, our first order has also been filled, without having re
ceived even the slightest notice to this effect. And so, when a few weeks ago
another immense stock of Embroideries reached here, we at once wrote the
manufacturer's agent to say that we could not, under the circumstances, accept
them unless great inducements were made us. The response was as speedy as
satisfactory—our claim was allowed.
This transaction gives us a splendid opportunity, and
with these two immense stocks of Embroideries we are in
a position to offer some unheard of rallies, and we will be
gin
THE GREATEST BARGAIN SALE
Of Embroideries ever held in this city. It would be folly
to quote prices. They would convey no-idea of the values
offered. Come personally! See! Be convinced!
