Father Cuddihy, the Roman
Catholic priest of Milford, Mass,
spiritedIy continues his fight
against the Hibernians. He has
been making speeches on the sub
ject in various New England mani
ufacturing cities, and his denunci-
ations of the order are in exceed
ingly forcible language. The Mil
ford society is not disposed to yield,
and is making preparations for a
great picnic on the Fourth of July
as demonstration of defiance.
Father Cuddihy will give picnic
ON the same day, and he appeals to
his people to stand by him. In q
sermon he said that Hibernians
are generally grogsellers, that theil
supposed benevolence is sham
and that they are antagonistic tt
the Roman Catholic Church.
