St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in
this city in a suitable manner.. The
members of Division No. 1, A. O. H.,
formed a procession at their hall at 9
o'eloc'i a. m. and proceeded to the
Cathedral in full regalias, where, in a
body, the members received Holy Com
munion. This ts the first time that
green regalias have b.een seen in the
church in this city, and we hope it will
not be the last time. After Mass the
members went to their homes. At 7:80
p. m. the Cathedral was crowded with
different, nationalties and denominations.
Rev. Father Stemper delivered an ap
propriate address. The Eev. Father
dwelt at length on the life of St. Patrtck
and the work in the cause of Chris
tianity in Ireland and the many miracles
he performed during his mission in
that land, and hoped that the Irish
would continue in their steadfastness in
the cause of the Catholic Ohureh.
The Cathedral parish school, solid

The. lack of interest taken here in any
way to celebrate Ireland's illustrious
apostle was very notieabie. A few
whose hearts wandered back iu memory
to their native soil, repaired from occu

laud as a token of their patriotic spirit.
The only event occurring in commemor
ation of the day was the lecture given by
Bev. Father Collins, ox Eau Claire, on
Irish views. The lecture was accom

Father Collins wonderfully impressed
the audience present on his views re
garding Ireland, which were delivered
with a conciseness and passionate ardor
rarely heard here. Their presence in
the holy edifice was a preventive against
tiie audience giving vent to their feelings
in great applause, but the restless spirit
plainly notieabie was a sure sign of their
agitation when points were touched
upon that recalled some incident deeply

St. Patrick's Day in Winona,
Correspondence of The Irish Standard.
The anniversary of Ireland's Patron
Saiut was celebrated by a large portion
of the citizens of Winona in a quiet but
patriotic manner. The streets were en
livened and the brightness and beauty
of the day enhanced by a liberal display
of green badges and ribbons. There
was no street parade, but at 10 o'clock
a.m. St. Thomas Church was filled by
the members of the congregation to at
tend a solemn high mass, their old
time pastor, very Rev. A. Plut, being
the celebrant: Rev. Father Michael,
Deacon, Rev. J. Meir, sub-deacon, and
Rev. P. Hefirou, master of ceremonies.
The Rev. P. Kernan, of Rushford,
preached the sermon in his usual foici
ble style. In the evening an entertain
ment was given at the Opera house

ence. The first number on the program
was an address by the Rev. P. Heffron,
&'

oil the "Two-fold Fidelity of the Irish
Feople." Father Heffron spoke with
earnest eloquence for three-quarters of
au hour, illustrating his points with apt
anecdotes and beautiful historical allu
sions. The audience was then enter
tained by a play in three acts, entitled
"Dr. O'Callaghan." The characters
were as follows:
Chns. Rivers Mr. B. C. McNally
O'Callag-ban Wis. Burns
Mr. Rivers Geo. D. EPlymi
Doctor Banks Mr. Thrw. Richardson
Mrs. Montngruc Miss Maut-ie Richardson
Julia Bauka Amy Burns
John Mr. D. Shanessy
Betty Miss Mamie Began
The young ladies and gentlemen
played their respective parts creditably,
but the magnetism of "Dr. O'Callaghan"
had a powerful effect, not only on his
patients but upon the whole audience.

sweetly sang "The Back Renting Land
