THE ADDRESS.
st. Patrick was born as related by
many historians i'm Scotland in the year
OF our Lord 3s7. He lived to the age Of
about one hundred and twenty years. It
is related also that during a portion of
his earlier life he lived in France, but.
be that as it may, at the age Of Is he
was captured in a foray by some rowing
Irish adyenturera and brought to Ire
land, where be was kept in, slavery by
pagan masters for nearly six years.
When 21 or % he made his escape and
went to Italy, where he entered upon
the most laborious course Of study, for
the purpose Of fitting himself to become
q missionary for the conversion OF Ire
land. He maintained this course OF
study and devotion TO religion until he
was IS years Of age before he applied to
Pope Celestine for this mission. The
Pope then consecrated him and sent
him to ireland.

ers act or have acted.
This trouble arises out Of the ruling
Of Judge James made In the case "
Ellen Rush against John II. Ghecu,
the District OF Columbia and the In.
spCCtor of Buildings. Thomas = Ent.
wisle The object uf the suit was o.
enjoin Ghceu from erecting q livery
stable In an alley in square 210. The
point made was that the amendment 10
the building regulations with re.
gard to the erection Of liv-
ery stables in alleys was ap.
proved by only two of the Commission
eis. In support of this point an opiniun
OF Attorney General Brewster was cited
wherein he held that In all important
matters the Commissioners must act as
a board uf three. and that two Of them
could not act without all three We're
present IN board meeting. Tnertuplu
the attorneys for Gheen disclaimrd any
intention Of proceeding with the cree
lion of the stable under the permit
Issued by the Inspector Of Buildings,
ard further nctiOn was suspended
The question now arises whether or
not all the actions taken by Com MIS-.
sloners Douglass and Hiue, or by Com
missiouers Douglass and Ross, without
Colonel Robert being present, are not
Illegal, as coming under Attorney Gen
fTal Brewsier's decision. A prominent
District official said to-day that the
matter was one about which the Com
missioners should be careful, and they
themselves express some doubt as TO
the legality OF their actions.
Commissioner Ross, in speaking ~
the decision Of Judge James, said that
II was the first time he had heard Of A..
tcTnty General Brewster g ruling, but he
believed II very important matter that
could only be remedied by the legisla
tion OF Congress He thought Il be
hoOved the Commissioners 20 secure a
board OF three as soon as possible
When questioned as 10 whether the
Commissioners anticipated any trouble
on account Of the legality Of their deci-
sion rendered by a board OF two Mr..
Ross replied that he did not, although
they had passed upon several important
matters. The decision Is Of great i'm
pOrtance, as the Commissioners do not
know whether they are acting legally
OF not and they anXiOusly await the re-
turn of Colonel Robert. so that affairs
msy proceed in their usual manner
without fear Of interruption.
