that it was the tenth time ne had endeavored
10 procure an entertainment for his people on
st. Patrick's evening, and although he had
always been proud of the Irish race
his own flesh and blood-he felt
more proud of them to-day than ever.
He was proud of them because of their brave
bearing under the worst and most devlish
grinding down people ever suffered. He
was proud of them for their fidelity. After
sketching feelingly the suffering under OPP
preston OF the people, and patient endurance
and self control of a naturally fry spirited
people in their warfare against
that oppression, he passed an eloquent eulo.
GUM upon the Irish nation. He then showed
that the Irish had distinguished themselves
over the whole world, and he maintained
that they were the most virtuous and the
most exempt of crime OF any people, and he
was consequently proud of the Irish exile.
And lastly he' was proud of the Irish in st.
Panl The Irish in st. Paul were
an exemplary people with their charitable in
situations for the poor and the erring. He
was proud of the conservative spirit of the
Irish of st. Paul, avoiding the dynamite in

he said glad to welcome another representa-
tive of another oppressed race and extend
the hand of welcome to Sitting Bull
The gentleman's speech was long and
eloquent one and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded throughout.
After Father Shanley's speech Pinsuti's
beautiful "Spring Song'' was excellently
rendered by Miss Josephine Rand (soprano)
Miss Mag Murphy (contrallo), Mr.. McLachlan
Genor) and Mr.. Willrich (bass). The voices
were nicely balanced and the fine harmon1es
of the composition lost nothing by its rendl-
ton, and what is of just as much Importance
the articulation was distinct and clear. An
enthusiastic encore was awarded at the
finish which was not responded
to. Miss Rand followed with ''Beieye Me
if all all these endearing young charms" in
which she showed that her voice is flexible,
sympathetic and of good calibre-more of a
mezzo quality than soprano. The lady sang
the sweet words of Moore so effectively that
the people would not be denied a repetition,
and she replied to the determined encore
with Thaddy O'Flynn.
Mr.. Willrich next sang kathleen Mayour-
men," song demanding more emotional
and sympathetic handling than he seemed
capable Off Still the song was so well sung
as to receive the hearty plaudits of the audi
ence.
Miss Mag Murphy followed with "When
the Robins Nest Again." which completely
cultivated the audience, and in response to
an encore sang 1.-THE WATERFALL and II her
first song captivated, her second enthused
the immense sea of people and she was
obliged to repeat it.
Father Stanley introduced Sitting Bull,
claiming that he Taurus Recumbent) was
descendant of lost tribe of Irishmen, who,
driven by storms, landed on this continent.
