Of the 4. o. H. met in st Patrick's hall
Yesterday afternoon, 10
nal address by the chaplain. Rev J. A.
Mulcahy. Father Nulcahy's address was
a touching appeal to men to lead good
lives so that when death comes their
friends may be able to speak of them as
sober, honest, industrious citizens His
address throughout was a very feeling one,
during the recital of which many of his
listeners were moved to tears At the
close of the address President William C..
Keenan, suggested that the order decorate
the grave of the pioneer Catholic pastor,
the Rev Father ONeilI. The proposition
was received with applause and on motion
OF James Meagher it was voted to deco
rate the graves of all deceased priests
buried in st Joseph's cemetery. They are
Fathers O'Neill. Duggit, Reid, McGivnev,
J. Donahue. Calvin. p. Donahue, Gal
lagher and Fitzpatrick. The line of march
was then taken up under command of
Marshal John E. Finley of the First divi-
sion. The call for friends to be present
in the cemetery and point out unmarked
graves had the desired effect and the grave
OF every deceased member was found and
fittingly decorated. Next year the order
will have neat mark set up over the
grave of each member so that henceforth
there will be no trouble in locating graves.
The exercises concluded at the Hibernian
plot.
