Philadelphia. March 17.-The loyal
followers of st. Patrick did due honor
to their patron saint today. The An
cient Order of Hibernians celebrated
the day by street parade and over

wading through streets ankle-deep in
slush and water. Tonight the Hiber-
nian society held it's annual dinner at
the Hotel Walton. Nearly 800 guests
We're present and the toasts and those
who responded to them were as fol-

wick; "'rhe Press" William NJ Singer
ly, proprietor of the Record: Our Sister
Societies" William II. Lucas, of the
Society of St. George.
General Nelson A. Miles. who was
also one of the guests, was unexpectedly
called upon to speak. In opening his
speech General Miles said that he was
of the opinion that the army and navy
of this country should be increased un-
til It was commensurate with the mag
nitude and greatness of the United
States. The rest of General Miles
speech bore upon the day the society
was celebrating.
In addition to the dinner Of the Hi
