HONOR ST. PAUL PRELATE

Archbishop John Ireland Has Been Fifty Years in Priesthood. St. Paul. Dec. 22.—Amid scores of congratulatory messages, cablegrams and costly presents. Archbishop John Ireland quietly observed the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. Under the strict orders of Archbishop Ireland there was no celebration of the anniversary in the churches of St. Paul, but it was impossible for the archbishop to prevent his friends and admirers from expressing -their esteem. Mrs James J. Hill was among those who testified esteem for the archbishop by sending a robe of ermine with a long train. The robe is fastened in front with a, large clasp set in jewels.
