Daniel Moriarty returned home last
week Thursday after visit of four or five
weeks at his native place in County Kerry,
Ireland. Mr.. Morarty took passage going
and coming on the steamer Teutonic of
the White Star line. During his IS years
absence from the old country many changes
had taken place. Among the acquaint-
ances which he made he found many old
friends, whom he did not at first recog-
nize. Mr.. Moriarty says the country has
made great advancement, especially in the
way of good schools. The English laws,
however are such as to prevent the full
development of the country, there being
valuable copper and coal mines that are
not worked. Give Ireland home rule, Mr..
Aoriarty says, and the country would enter
upon new era of prosperity.

to Daniel Brosnahan, the well-known and
trusted teamster Of the Estey Organ COM
pany. The death of his wife occurred
afternoon, and his father, Michael
died early Monday morning.
The funeral of the wife was held at the
Roman Catholic church Tuesday and that
of the father, Wednesday, both being large
ly attended Mrs. Brosnahan was Mary
Redden of Hinsdale, and her marriage to
Mr.. BrOsnahan took place eight years ago.
She leaves three small children. Her moth
er, Mrs. Redden, has made her home with
her, and three brothers live in Hins iale |
and one in ChicOpee. Mrs Brosnahan was
held in high esteem by acquaintance here |
and in Hinsdale. Michael Brosnahan
had lived here for many years, and in ad-
iltiOn to his son Daniel, leaves another |
son, Patrick, of Vernon, and two daugh- |
tiers, Kate and Johanna, of this place.
