ERIN'S GREAT SAINT.
CONFLICTING STORIES AS TO HIS
BIRTH AND DEATH.

What st. Patrick Says In His s'Confessions.-
tianity-The Shamrock Used to illustrate
the Trinity.
Irish historians and nearly all those
who have written about the birthplace
of st. Patrick are in doubt as to the
country to which he belonged OF the
place where rest his mortal rem aims. AS
many as So lives of the saint were writ
ten as early as the twelfth century.
These various works have since the con-
quest of Ireland by England in 1172
been condensed into seven, and on these
seven works is founded most, if not all,
of what has been since written in con-
nection with the life, the history and
the times of st. Patrick. Much that was
pertinent to the nativity and birthplace
of st. Patrick has doubtless been ex-
plunged in these condensed works, but
enough still remains to show that, though
a Gallo as we'll as a Celtic origin has
been claimed for him, there is abundant
evidence to show, and indeed St. Patrick
himself says in his Confessions, that
he was an Englishman.
II was born," says he in his famous
Confessions, +" "the son of Calpurnius,
who was of the village of Bonavon, in
Thavurnia,'' and Mr.. Cashel Hoey, a
well known Catholic writer, thinks that
ST. Patrick was the son of a British Of
fetal employed under the Roman power,
and who remained in Britain after the
Roman legions had returned to do battle
for julius Caesar.
Ballandist's copy of the ''Book of Ar
magh,' one of the most ancient records
that is now extant, says: Patrick. who
was called Soohet, was Briton by birth,
being born in Britain, the son of Cal
purnius, deacon, who was Of the vii
lage of Bonavon Thabur, not far from
the sea. -
Again, st. Patrick speaks of himself,
saying, "After few years was again
in Britain with my parents" Elsewhere
the saint refers to his great anxiety ''to
go to Britain as unto his parents, and
also to visit his spiritual brethren in
Gaul. Besides all this st. Patrick's IA

IRISH NAMES.

Their Origin and What Many OF Them
Mean

Their Origin and What Many OF Them
Mean
''The O's are above the Macs.
This was one of the old sayings with
which one faction too often tainted an
other, but it is only true in the sense
that the O's were first on the ground.
Both mean the same-that is, 'son Of"
or ''of the house of, !" as De in French
and Spanish, Van in Dutch and A or APP
in Welsh and old English. Some Scotch
men, however, claim that Mac is from
the same root as the Latin magnus, and
therefore means "great. - AS there were
no surnames before the tenth century,
many a family or clan took the name of
its chief or founder, as the Hy-Nial,
and later O'Neil from the great Mai.
Mari was old Celtic for hero and
the MacNaaris were his followers.
Queen Macha gave name to Ar-macha,
or Armagh. Owen Nor was "Owen
the Great - Cormac Ul1a was ''Long
Beard, - but it is hardly the case that all
the McCormacks are his descendants.
Laighaire was the monarch who pro-
tected st. Patrick, and by slow modif1-
cations the name has become Leary. All
t44O A4ASo VI b0O S1Ab III anu cON6nGu COu-
turtles were of the Hy-Nial race, SO the
O'Neils are an extensive family. The
Scotch Dearmid and Irish Dermid
changed naturally to Dermott, and the
clansmen added the Mac In like man
ner King Hugh probably gave origin to
the great sept of the Hughes.
The Danes left us a few names-all
those old names ending in ford"
chiefly names of places, as Wexford,
Waterford, etc. Among their opponents
appear the great Brian and Mclaughlin,
or Malachy, well represented in Irish
names of today. Soon after the Danish
war began We find such names for titles
as Glun- dubh, or ''Black Knee;' Sitrick
and Ivar-the last clearly Danish, but
the MacIvors are good Irish. Godfrid,
son of Sitrick, was the first Danish
chief to proclaim himself a Christian,
but as he did this in a year of disaster,
| and when he had gathered power again
destroyed all the churches of East Meath
| "a. D. 949) and burned 100 people in the
oratory at Drumvee, we must doubt his
| conversion.
| The Norman conquest brought in a
| great variety Of names and titles, and
| thereafter all had surnames. The prefix
'Fitz, meaning son., soon abounded
| in Irish names, as Fitzroy, Fitzburn,
| Fitzgerald, etc The De Burghos trans
| formed sept, and half the fighting men
! of Galway became Burkes Other found
ers of Irish-Norman houses were the
De Clares, De Cogans, De Lacys. De
Courcys, LIE Peers and the great Maui
rice Fitzgerald, common ancestor Of the
Geraldines of Desmond and Kildare.
Later came such purely English fami-
lies as jackson, Lee, etc., and last of all
the Hanovernians, and SO there we are
"a mixed set as to names, but all Irish
by time, and soon, it is to be hoped, to
be united Irishmen indeed.

bury, only II miles from Bath, in the
west of England, which is ear the river
Avon, running into the Irish sea. It is
thus understood that "Bonavon Shabur'
refers to the mouth of the Avon, which
adjoins Bath, and is only 10 miles from
the Bristol channel.
Owing to a revolt in the district after
the withdrawal Of the Roman legions
from Britain, ST. Patrick and his broth
er and sister were carried away from
their parents and sold as slaves into Ire
land. The future apostle was but 16
years of age when, in the early Saxon
times, the shores of Britain were in
tested by pirates. In Ireland Patriok's
occupation was like that of the prodigal
son Of the New Testament-feeding and
herding hogs and tending sheep. He
thus became the slave of an Irish chief
named Melcho, who farIned lands near
Ballymena, in the county of Antrim,
and while st. Patrick was in this con-
dition he sighed and longed for his ma
tive land, and while in yearning con-
dition he tells us he had an intimation
that the time of his deliverance was
close at hand. During vision one night
he saw in his dreams a man named
Vitricus-a thoroughly Roman name
coming from one of the Roman camps,
in which. while boy, he resided with
his father on the banks of the Avon,
and he prayed long and fervently that
he might be rescued.
In his twenty second year, A. D. 454,
he set sail from the barony of Tyrawley,
in the county of Mayo, and after being
three days at sea he reached that part of
France between Trajectus and Tours,
on the banks of the Loire Finally he
arrived at Tours and joined some of the
colaborers Of St Martin, who was bishop
Of that place. Here the future apostle
Of Ireland remained four years undergo
ing an education, through the influence
of the bishop, who was near relative
of his mother, Gaul as well as Britain
then owning tacit submission to the Ro-
man empire. He was admitted to the
priesthood in due time and commits
stoned by Pope Celestine to preach the
gospel to missionary nations. The first
| wish of young Patrick as soon as he be-,
came priest was to return to Ireland
and to convert those Irish herdsmen
who had toiled with him in the days of
his captivity. 1t is owing to this oircum-
stance that the name of st. Patrick is
known to Us as the apostle of Ireland.
When he relanded in Ireland, the
Irish were already highly civilized
people. with an organized form Of gov.

eminent and enjoying the benefits OF
civilization, derived from former eff
fort under ST. Germanicus to Christian
ize them. They were then organized in
clans, the head of each clan being
chieftain. who carried on the govern
ment of his tribe under an admirable
constitution known as the Brehon laws,
and St Patrick lost no time with the
common people. He addressed himself
to the chieftains and the kings, feeling
that if he converted these he would Sc
cure the spiritual conquest of the entire
nation. Accordingly, awaiting himself
Of a convention in the famous halls of
Tara, he addressed himself to the assem-
bled chiefs, preaching to them the gos-
pei of new civilization as we'll as of
Christian truth The Irish were always
hospitable and kindly to strangers, and,
though the Druids and pagan priests of
the period received the strange young
missioner with the same feelings of
alarm as the Samoan people would to-
day receive an enovy of the Vatican or
a disciple of Exeter Hall, the chiefs
gave Patrick hearing, and, according
to all accounts, he made the best posi-
BILE means Of his great opportunity. It
SO happened that at the time of this
convention in the historic halls of Tara
the Druid priests had ordered fires to be
lighted upon the neighboring hills of
Louth and of Meath in honor of the
gods and of the great occasion. st. Pat
rick had made such Roadway with his
doctrines that in winding up his SER
mon he utilized the beacon lights to as
sure his hearers that light was burn
ing brightly in Erin that evening which
might never become extinguished. He
had already COMPOUNDED the Druids and
turned the tables upon themselves and
their doctrines in presence of the kings
and chieftains of the nation.
One remarkable instance of Patrick
extraordinary cleverness and of his
readiness to avail himself of a simple
illustration, in order to bring conviction
home to his hearers, comes down to Us
from his day. While the young mis-
sioner was discoursing upon the Trinity
one of the Druid priests interrupted
him, as Unitarian might do even in
our own day, by challenging Patrick to
explain how there were three Gods in
one. This was evidently poser to the
illiterate pagans, who sat around the
royal circle. But Patrick, suiting the
action to the word, stopped down, and
plucking single leaf of shamrock from
the sward beneath him held it up to
the astonished gaze Of the multitude,
and explaining that, as the little bit Of
trefoil grew on single stem, and the
stem emanated from the three leaves, so
there were three Gods in one, and one in
three. One can easily imagine, even at
this distance of time, with what a thun-
dering shout of patriotic applause this
explanation involving the shamrock was
received by the primitive Irish, even if
the reason and the not overacute intel
lect of the period remained unsatisfed.
It was in this way and by arts like
these quite as much as by the force and
| the beauty of Christian principles that
st. Patrick accomplished his purpose
and established his right to the CHIEF
apostleship of Ireland.

A Legal Mix-up.

Judge Williams has made a decis.
ion in the contempt case that appears
to be far reaching in its effects and if
not followed by other rulings and Or
ders will involve property rights to
the amount Of half a million of dol
lars or more.
In 1893 COler F. Sim was appointed
receiver Of the Davidson Investment
Co, on suit for money brought be-
fore Judge Williams. In April suit
to foreclosure Of a mortgage on the
Larned waterworks was commenced
and ]. W, Rush appointed receiver by
the state court. Mr.. Rush immedi-
ately took possession Of the plant
throwing out the man whom be found
In possession. Rush was ordered to
appear before Judge Williams and
show cause why he should not be
committed for contempt in interfer-
ing with and dispossessing a receiver
appointed by a federal Judge.
He set up that there was no receiv-
er Of the Davidson company as the
suit on which receiver had been ap-
pointed was a money suit. and the
Judge had no power to appoint such
officer, there being no suit in equity.
Judge Williams ruled that the court
had no power to appoint a receiver
and therefore erred, and that Mr..
Rush was legally in possession Of the
Larned property. The judge said
that when he appointed Sim receiver
some six or seven lawyers were pres
ent having a controversy as to who
should be appointed, but not one OF
them raised the point that he had nc
power 10 the premises.
As Receiver Sim has sold and
transferred property valued at least
s5OO,OOO, it will be seen that unless
there is subsequent order protecting
his acts while acting in this capacicy
there will be food for litigation, and
many transactions must be held to be
illegal.-Wichita Beacon.

He stated that he had visited at the

and that some one of the party had
gone through his pockets and robbed
him of one 800 United States Treasu-
ry note and one $50 silver certificate.
He asked RoySe 10 accompany him
and endeavOr to secure the money.
He did and the two visited the park
in hack. When they arrived at the
place they found that the two women
and Glamann had gone to some place

place the two men drove where they

red hot mad. He proposed to take
his mad out on somebody or some
Thing. He announced that the state
was ready for trial in the Scudder
case. This surprised everybody be-
cause all knew there was not the
least possible chance Of convicting
Scudder; that the only thing that
could be accomplished was the piling
up of big bill of costs for the county
to pay. But the county attorney
was master of the situation. The
court could dismiss the case only up-
on his application and so long as the
county attorney insisted on going
ahead, the farce of securing jury
had TO 60 on.
All Wednesday afternoon, all day
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Monday, four and One-half days, were
taken up in trying to get jury. In
the Rain case, the defendants attor-
neyS, W. W. Schwinn and James
Lawrence, did not try to disqualify
jurors but accepted almost the first
jurors called into the box. They
were anxious to try the case and to
try it through to the end. But when
Woods commenced his monkey
business in the Scudder case, Col.
Jim Lawrence squared himself and
did the finest job of disQualifying
jurors upon their preliminary exami-
nation that was ever seen anywhere.
From Wednesday noon until Monday
evening, there were about 125 jurors
and talesmen examined. Mr.. Law
renee used only five peremptOry chal-
lenges on them.
When it came time to adjourn court
last night Harry Woods weakened.
His mad spell had worked off; he had
heard too much of the opinions of his
conduct that were being expressed On
all sides and particularly by the farm
er taxpayers. He asked the courts Ito
dismiss the case. He stated his rea-
sons for the request. One of them
was that he did not believe that the
defendant could be convicted upon
the states evidence if jury should
be secured. OThe case was dismissed,
but since last Wednesday at noon
costs amounting to more than $500
had beenimade in this case, which
the 1ceunty must pay. Why? Sim
ply because Harry L. Woods had a
pouting spell on him.
