(continued from Sixth Page.)

rank Of colonel and died Tn ParlS Tn 1863.
 Mitchell often met him and heard from his own lips the full account of the doings of Robert Emmet, who was to leave Ireland with Miles Byrne, but his desire to meet his beloved Sarah Curran before he would depart from Ireland cost him his life.
 General Humbert, who commanded and led an expedition into Ireland, be- ing Frenchman, was a recognized prisoner of war, being exchanged, and later he was refugee in New Orleans, and when the British attacked New Orleans in 1915 Humbert with the men who carried bikes at Vinegar Hall in 179S, had sweet revenge, when 4,OOO British soldiers were killed and wound- ed, while General Jackson had only eight killed and a little over a hundred wounded.
 We drink the memory of the brace,
 The faithful and the few;
 Some lie far off beyond the wave,
 Some sleep in Ireland, too.
 All, all are gone but still lives on
 The fame of those who died,
 All true men, like you men,
 Remember them with pride.
 Yes, because they loved Erin and
 scorned to sell it,
 A prey to the bloodhound, and a mark
 for the bullet;
 Unsheltered by night and unrested by
 day,
 With the heat for their barrack and +.f,' revenge for their pay
 Yes, if there be one passion that has outlived every other in the heart of the true Irishman it is the inborn love for Ireland, for Ireland's greatness and for Ireland's glory. Our fathers loved it and knew how to prize it, to hold it.. The glory of the faith that has never been tarnished; the glory of the nation al honor that has never bowed down to acknowledge itself a slave,
 And, my dear beloved Brother Knights, the burden and the responsi- :. bility of that glory is yours and mine tonight. The glory of the battle that has been so long fighting and is not yet closed; the glory of that national vir- tue that has made Ireland's men the bravest and Ireland's women the pur- est in the world And, as Irishmen, we are bound to show what our fathers have been in ages before us, and what our children intend to be in ages to come. A nation who. in spite of it's hard fate and it's misfortunes, can still look the world in the face; for on Ire lands virgin brow no stain of dishonor or of perfidy has ever been placed
 SPEECH OF D. w. KINNEY.
 D. w. Kinney responded to the toast s'The Press" and spoke in part as fol- lows:
 If there is any race on the face of the globe that owes debt of undying gratitude to the press it is our race. When famine desolated fair Erin the press of America printed the dreadful picture so vividly for its readers that aid was extended promptly and gener- ously. When Charles Stewart Parnell and his gallant co-laborers propounded the Land League gospel in this country the press became more Irish than the Irish themselves. It made his cause their cause and through the united unselfish and tireless labors of the newspapers of this country the condi- tion of Ireland was made known fully, honestly and fairly in every city, town and hamlet in America and a verdict of guilty recorded against our oppress- or. By means of the light thus shed the ear of the world was obtained, the cause of suffering Ireland was immeas- urably advanced and it's beneficial in fluence was extended to every man oi Irish blood in this nation.
 Speaking of the press as whole, MT ic hot sents itself to us in all it's wealth o1 enterprise, it's wealth of intellectually it's wealth of work in behalf of suffer. ing humanity and the uplifting o1 mankind generally. It is the common mans university. When battling fol the right it knows no fear and asks nc favors In the hour of a nations peri none contribute more to the defence O the national honor than the press I is an ennobling and self-sacrifcins work and in response to the call O duty it contains within it's ranks neith CT laggards nor towards. Its history is written on the prison registers O every country where press exists, ant the names of it's members can be found on the roll of those who died martyrs to the cause of liberty.
 MT. Toastmaster, Honored Guests and Knights of St. Patrick: As I cas- my eyes over this large and inspiring assemblage, around the walls ant through the recesses of this spacious banquet hall, they search in vain fo the gleam of k1ightly armor, of flash ing swords or glittering lances, 0 furnished shields or glittering helmets for the trappings and devices that tn imagination associates with the idea o the past and ancient chivalry. The, behold instead the marks and sign and characteristics of modern orde and more peaceful civilization. The, see not grim visages of war; but tn familiar friendly faces of peace-1ovine law-abiding men, men of various age and conditions, of different ranks an, stations, of varied pursuits and occu pations-but all, I believe and trust animated by the same spirit of lov and devotion to God, country and right all stirred by the same exalted senti ments of national pride and patriotism all filled with the same reverence fo womanly virtue and womanly honor all cultivating and possessing the sam knightiy qualities of mind and hear that, ever since St. Patrick first kindle
