The Hibernian society of Philadelphia, one
Of the oldest and most useful race and social
organizations of the state kept its own and st.
Patrick's anniversary by dinner in the
Union League foyer last evening. 1t was
| one of the most brilliant and most largely
| attended occasions of the kind ever held
| by the society and its genial fellow
ship was betokened by tho fact that
| members of every creed and guests of
| every nationality met around the board. All
the saints in the calendar, except St George,
| were praised I'm the speeches, and while the
| Albion society was welcomed In the toasts,
Mennonite and Yankee touched elbows at the
| table. Ex-Attorney General Brewster was
| not there, but George s. Graham took his
place and Ex-Governor Hoyt made speech
which plainly showed that Cleveland IL a
| good enough president and tho Democracy a
good enough party for Hoyt and the rest o
mankind. The Lancastrians present were
