| he had briefly explained that he WAS a
recent sufferer of tho grippe, he
launched forth into one of those spirit
arousing tiowsof eioquence for which he
has long been noted, taking for hls sub
| Ject The Irish Race" He spoke feel
lngly OF the numerous outrages perpe-
trated upon the Irish people 10y the
/ English, who could not give an excuse
/ save a fabrication of falsehoods. The
| Irish had sometimes been referred TO as
an llllterate people, but England had
fastened her hungry talOns upon that
| far land, when Il was the very centre
OF learning. What nation could claim
/ the names OF more grand, ingenious and
talented men than Ireland? The evi-
! dences OF irish valor and greatness IN
/ this country were too numerous 10
make II necessary for HIM 10 especially
| mention them. From Bunker Hill to
the present time the glorious deeds of
the Ilish III the United States history
stood out prominently. Once in a while,
| the speaker said, he ranacross an IRISH
man who was mean enough 10 be
/ ashamed of his nationality, and some
were even small enough TO mutilate
| their good old Irish names TO hide their
honorable nationality. For such peo-
| pie he felt the loftest contempt.
/ Those Irshmen who were ashamed of
! their nationality he would advise to read
up In the history of their country, and
realize the glorious deeds of their hon.
ored countrymen. He closed by urg-
ing all Irlshmen to hang together for
the cause of their country.
| An Irish comic song, "1'm goin' to
have my name put on the Door," was
sung By Bert Launiere. He responded
| to an encore by repeating the last verse
| Of the song.
A soprano and tenor duett, "Adieu,"
was sung by Miss Sarah Heinzeman and
w. 7. Hyne, the latter taking the place
of Mrs. Braunschneider, who was too i'll
| to be present.
Thomas +. McGarry next addressed
the audience, taking for his subject,
1.-The Day We Celebrate" Mr. McGarry
is a man of fine physique and presents a
| fine appearance upon the platform.
The celebration of st. Patrick's day, he
| SAID, gave the Irish heart an Incessant
| spur TO duty. He spoke for the sham
rock, the beautiful emblem of his ma
ton, which had been plucked ard
blessed by Ireland's patron saint; It's
three graceful leaves on one stem being
fitting symbol of the great Three IN
| One. When st. Patrick first landed in
Ireland from Scotland, it was a pagan
isle; when he died it was a Christian
| land.
Mrs. Patrick Hickey then sang
"Watching," a soprano solo by Mil
lard, with great effect. She sang a
comic irish ballad rs an encore. Miss
Lille Dolan followed with piano
| solo, "Gems of Ireland" being assisted
by 2. II. O Brien, whojturned the leaves
! of the music. Miss Dolan showed
! great proficiency as q pianist. Mr..
| OBrien watched the intricate music
with an eagle eye, and when the end
of the page was reached, would turn
it with lghtning-like rapidity for an
undertaken. Miss Dolan received a
! hearty encore.
The affair happily wound up with the
singing of God Save Ireland" by the
assembly present.
The Misses Anna I. Dunn and Lena
Heinzeman acted as accompanies for
the vocalists III a highly creditable
manner Shortly before the evening
concluded, nearly all the members of
the Common Council and a number OF
the city officials filed in and took front
| seats.
