A GREAT IRISH FAIR.
Big Show in New York TO Build an
Irish Palace.

New York, May 9.-A great Irish
fair will be given at the Grand Central
Palace. beginning tomorrow, the pro-
ceeds to go toward the erection of an
Irish palace building, to cost at least
a quarter of a million dollars. The
building is designed to shelter all Irish
Am erican organizations under one
root
1t is proposed through this fair to
heal all the differences that have from
time to time arisen among Irish-Amer-
leans, churchmen and laymen, soldiers
and civilians, Catholics and Protest
ants This scheme is due to the inge-
nuity Of Col. James Moran of the Irish
volunteers, an Independent regiment
organized a year and half ago under
the auspices of the Clan-n a-Gael, the
physical force" faction in Irish poll
tics. This regiment "cut in" on the
regular sixty-ninth regiment Of the
national guard, which has always been
an Irish organization. This action en-
Uttered the friends of the sixty-ninth
who have not accorded the plans % n
Irish volunteers the heartiest support.
1t may be expected, therefore, that the
success and brilliancy Of the coming
fair will depend largely on those Irish
men who stand for the ideas repre-
scented by the old Fenian spirit. A
board of trustees has been selected to
handle the funds, among the trustees
being Recorder Golf, ex-Mayor Grant,
Gen. James r. O'Beirne, ex-Judge
Browne and Col, VIM. l.. Brown.
The fair will be largely under the di-
rection OF the women representing the
thirty-two counties Of ireland. TIM
ladies identified with the fair have been
connected with the advancemnt of the
volunteers since their organization.
Their presence in the management is
taken as an evidence that a large part
OF the funds derived from the fair will
be used to erect a fine armory for the
volunteers the other features, such as
lecture rooms, etc, being incidental to
the military utility of the proposed pal
ace
Among the exhibits the most inte'
esting will be a veritable piece Of the
blarney stone imported for the purpose,
and the real sword of Brian Boru
Great enthusiasm has been shown in
the preparatory work, and Irishmen
throughout the country will watch
With interest, mis- efforts to crystalline
Irish sentiment in Greater New York

The Due q 'Aumale, who was killed
by the shock OF the Paris bazaar horror,
Was perhaps one of the most liberal
minded of the royal samily of France;
in fact, he often expressed himself as
by no means opposed to any form of
government desired by the people. He
was elected to the national assembly of
1871 to represent the department of the
Disc, and in 1872 he was made a divi-
sion general in the army. AS a soldier
..e had ample experience with his
brother, the duke OF Orleans, in the
Algerian campaign in 1910. He was
made a member of the French Academy
and of me Academy of Fine Arts, but
was expelled from France by law while
Boulanger was minister Of war After
he had gone it was learned that he had
given his chateau at Chantilly, with its
! trust for the French nation, and in
1889 the decree was revoked and he
returned from England and took up
his residence in the chateau in which
he lived up to the time of his death.
In the same year that he returned to
France he was elected president OF the
academy for three months. He was rs
years old, having been born in 1922.
He was the fourth son of King Louis
Philippe. He was married in 1874 to
Marie Caroline Auguste de Bourbon, the
daughter of Prince Leopold of Salerno.
hut his wife died in 1863. His eldest
son, Louis Philippe Marie Leopold, the
Prince de Condo, born in 1915, died
in 1866, and his second son, Francois
Louis Marie Philippe d'Orleans duke
OF Guise, was born in 1854 and died in
1872
