this city and neighborhood, yesterday
st. Patrick was commemorated in
special services and lectures. Rev
James P. Ryan, Paulist Father, spoke
of those who were always talking about

ing money, and who had more words
than brains: such men were not hones
they were dynamite patriots; tho
men who started skirmishing funds were
not honest. Rev. Sylvester Malone said

Patrick from his Mich in Gods temple
to the street, to be made the subject o.
laughter and derision?"
