remembered by
THE REMOTE DEFENDANTS
of those who first listened TO his teachings.
That these teachings were good need no other
, proof His actions in devot:ng numerous
lands bestowed upon him, for the benefit of
monastic schools, as well as his adherence
of slavery, has made his name dear TO every
Irishman. Not only in Ireland, but in al
most every portion of the habitabie globe
there is some one who remembers the Eth Of
March. In America, in particular, ''the Land
of the Free" is the day observed. Here all
nations under the folds

may band themselves together and not only
worship God in their own way, but pay just
tribute To the memory of anyone who has, in
the past, been beneiactor to their country.
st. Patrick's day, in Leavenworth, was
bright and sunny one. The various Irish
cieties here did not, as has been the Gus ON
heretofore. parade but in the evening a pro-
Crane had been arranged for a banquet at
Catholic Hall, at the southwest corner of
Kickspoo and Fifth streets. At eight O'Clock
the large hall was packed to its utmost with
ladies' and gentlemen, who were bent on
pleasure.
FULLY FoUR HUNDRED PEOPLE
being in the room. -Four tables each hun
dred and twenty feet long were occupied by
the first comeis. The later arrivals Were
compelled TO stand for a time until further
accommodations could be made for them by
the members OF the Hibernian Society under
whose auspices the banquet was given.
THE PROGRAMME.
The vast assemblage was called TO order by
Hon. John Harmon, President of the society
while Messrs. Chas. Finn, f. Lowden, Patrick
Lane and Phillip Doyle, members, flied the
wine glasses to the brim.
| Mr.. Harmon in his own happy way, said
| that owing to the confusion of the opening
he could have little TO say, and announced
the first item of the programme, which con-
sisted of that appropriate and fine piece OF
vocal music, entitled Far Away Where An
gels Dwell" in which the fine voice of Miss
Minnie Myers was distinctly heard in all
parts of the room. Prof Alfred Myers pre-
sided at the piano, and excellently, too. The
entire choir col sisted of Miss Myers, Misses
Katie and Mary Donahoe, Miss Katie Doyle,
Misses Esther and Mary Sweeney, Miss Josie
Cass, MIR. p. f. Roche, Mr.. Z. ii. Mullen and
Mr.. F. Berminie.
| The first toast OF the evening, "Welcome
Friends" was responded TO by Very Rev. J.
| ii. Deiouri, Vicar General of the Diocese of
Kansas. He, in his own peculiarly social
! manner, welcomed all who were present and
gave them to understand that il was one OF
/ the duties of the evening TO have a good time.
Then followed that good old song ..St. Pat
rick's Day." by the choir. After the first
verse of the song it was noticed throughout
the audience that a better feeling prevailed
The words were clearly understood and the
even time os the familiar music made every
body feel like joining in.
