You did a remarkable thing published
my comments upon your remarks about
'"rhe Irish in the Revolution" and
didn't trouncc me for daring to answer
you back That's wonderful self con-
troll in an edtOr--and he of Irish blood.
Now, let me tell the facts about that
old tale that the Friendly Sons Of st.
Patrick, of Philadelphia. subscribed q
half million OF money to relieve Wash
ington's army at Valley Forge That's
the tale that is always told on St. Pat
rick's night and other occasions of glor-
ification among our people. A couple of
years ago / heard priest, from the al
tar, tell how when Washington's men
were starving a sentinel on hilltop
suddenly saw long line of wagons ap-
preaching. In little while it proved
to be train sent by the Friendly Sons
of StPatricl, an Irish Catholic organiza-
ton, of Philadelphia, to relieve Wash
ington's men. 1t has had many forms
of variation in the telling and yet there
isn't word of truth in It. but it will
be told for generations to come.

OBITUARY.
Death ora Meriden Merchant.

Death of n Meriden Merchant.
 George A. Church, senior member of the hardware firm of Church & Morse, died very suddenly in his store, yester- day afternoon about o'clock. MT. Church came back from dinner about 2 o'clock and complained of severe pain in his right arm. He thought it was an attack of rheumatism, as he had been at the shore recently, and on his return Monday was troubled with a general muscular soreness. The pain grew worse and he obtained medicine at drug store and returned to his office feeling better. Suddenly, how ever, he fell back in his chair in his office. Doctors were summoned and found him dead. The cause of his death was pronounced to be angina pec- toris.
 MT. Church had been in business in Meriden since 1872, when the hardware firm of Church & Sprague was estab- lished. In 1878 MT. Church bought the late George w. Sprague's interest, and a year later the present firm of Church & Morse was organized and has since prospered. He was prominent Mason and Red Man, a veteran of the late war and a member of the G. A. R. and the Home club.
