CAREER OF ST. PATRICK.
Ireland's Patron Saint Was a Truly
Remarkable Man.

Origin.

No holiday is dearer to the heart of
the lrishman than st. Patrick's day,
the 18th of March. Like many
other festal days which are cele-
brated with the beating of drums,
professions and merrymaking, St.
Patrick's day had it's origin in
the church. And when the life of the
man who has thus been honored for
centuries is analysed. every unpreju-
diced student will admit that his men,
DRY deserves recognition, not only from
the Irish people, but from all Christians.
The most authentic account of the
saints life and works is contained in
Cusack's biographical study, published
in 1869. From it we learn that it is
either 1903 or 1405 years, on the COM
ing 18th of March, since st. Patrick
died. There is dispute just when and
where the great missionary was born,
just as there is dispute as to the exact
year of his death. 1t seems to be gen.
orally agreed that March II was the
date of his death, though whether it was
March II. 493, or 495, the authorities
cannot agee. They do agree, however,
IN the place of his death, fixing it in
Ulster.
Some Of the early writer's describe his
birthplace as in Britain" But modern
Irish critics argue that this does not
mean England. They say it means
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1898-04-01

Brittany, province of France, and
.hat Brittany included Normandy and
extended to the borders of what now is
Belgium. O'Curry discovered IN the
British museum a manuscript life of the
saint which gives the place of his birth
As Bonavens Tiberniae, the modern city
Of Boulogne-sur-Mer. This point was
an important Roman station, and the
port from which Julius Caesar invaded
England. Although a small group of
students still maintain that the real
birthplace of the saint was Fitzpatrick,
In Scotland. and the year 1873, the ma
jority have agreed in giving the honor
to Boulogne-sur-Mer, and fix the year
as 372.
The story of how ST. Patrick first
came to visit Ireland, as related in the
ancient records, is of deep interest.
His journey was by no means voluntary.
Indeed he was captured and dragged
from his home with hundreds of others
by an invading Irish king who carried
them all, captives and slaves, across the
sea to his native land. Nal the Grand,
or Mai of the Nine Hostages, was that
invading king. He landed ST. Patrick,
the saint became the slave of a chief
named MilchO, in the county of Antrim.
In the course of time he managed to
escape, and made his way to Scotland.
Here his bad fortune pursued him
again, for it was not long before an
other crowd of Irish pirates descended
on the Scottish coast and bore him off
to Ireland and slavery again. A second
time he escaped, and a second time he
went to Scotland. Here and on this &C.
casion he resolved to devote his life to
missionary work among the Irish peo-
pie. He was ordained a priest, and after
long preparation was consecrated
bishop. Then he visited France and
Italy, and finally in the year 1872 went to
Ireland for good and all. His mission
ary work was crowned with great sue
cess. He baptized the kings of Dublin
and Munster, and performed the same
office for the seven sons of the king of
Connaught. This good work continued
until he was credited with the con-
version to Christianity of the greater
part of the inhabitants of the island,
although, of course. there were other
missionary laborers in the field. St.
Bernard says that his metropolitan see
was at Armagh, and that he appointed
several other bishops 20 settle the dis |
cipline of the church.

desire to convert Milcho. his old master. |

Patrick, who caused snow and darkness
to disappear. Another test between the
Christian and the Druid priest resulted
fatally for the latter. 1t is recorded that
by agreement ST. Patrick placed him
on pile of green wood in order to see
whose God would protect him from fire.
The Druid. so the story goes, was
burned; ST. Patrick was unframed.
At this the pagan king was greatly in
censed and sought the saints death.
But poison, soldiers and all the other
forces The king employed had no eff9et.
For nearly 60 years ST. Patrick Con-
tinued his missionary labors in Ireland.
When first he went there he found
5000, 900 idolaters; when he left there
is said not to have been one on the
island. TO say nothing of the decree of
punishment which he issued against the
snakes and toads and which, according
to legendary lore. relieved Ireland of
these unpleasant forms of animal life,
ST. Patrick demonstrated powers in the
way OF working miracles during his
residence in Erin which were remark
able. Historical records, it is true. do
not mention his driving out of ser
penis. but although that part of his
service may be imaginary yet all good
lrishmen place firm faith in it. St,
Patrick died at the ripe age of 100 years,
his demise being looked upon as a ma
tionai calamity.
Miracles began with ST. Patrick at a
very carly age. When the blind priest
Commas came to baptiZe the infant
saint there was no water at hand, so he
made the sign of the cross over the
ground with the child's hands, where
upon spring at once gushed forth.
The priest washed his eyes in this mi
raculous water and was at once cured of
his blindness. Another miracle &C.
Cured in connection with the place
where st. Patrick was baptized. There
was stone near the spot. and when the
people had dispute they placed their
hands on the stone and swore that their
side of the controversy was truthful. If
one was indiscreet enough to commit
perjury water gushed out on the spot
where his hand rested.
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1898-04-01

Accordingly. with his followers. he pro-
ceeded in the direction of Antrim with
that purpose in view. But it was not to
be. His fame preceded him, and, not
wishing to be saved from his idolatrous
ways, Milcho set fire to his castle and
persisted in the flames. The glow of the
confiagration reached st. Patrick on
one of the hills near Milcho's castle,
where he had camped for the night.
From there st. Patrick turned to the
court Of King Lcghaire, son of the old
king, who had taken him a captive into
Ireland. This prince was about to cele
brate the festival of the Fas of Tara,
and scores of priests and dignitaries
were gathered to celebrate in their
heathenish fashion. Patrick decided
to strike blow at the very root of their
religion. When he approached the vi
cinity of the palace, he lighted q fire to
camp for the night. This was grave
offense, for IA fires were allowed until
the sacrifcial fire of the following morn
ing was ignited. The king saw the blaze
and sent to find out who had kindled it.
st. Patrick was discovered sitting by
the fire in company with few follow
ers. The king, who well knew with
whom he had to deal, ordered the Gull
prit to be brought to the idolatrous eel
ebration to pit his supernatural powers
against those of the court magicians
and high priests. At daylight Druidi-
cal high priest and Christian mission
airy were arrayed against each other,
King Leghaire, court and people look
ing on expectantly.
The Druids had the first chance.
Their miracles somehow went awry.
They made snow fall to the depth of sew
eral feet, but could not get rid of it..
They caused darkness to cover the land,
but when they called for light it did not
come. So they had to suffer the igno-
miny of accepting the assistance of St

Miller, of this city. My father was
governor of Minnesota, my brother
Wesley was lieutenant in the army of
the Potomac, and was a soldier in the
army of the frontier. In July, 1863, my
mother was at the old home in Harris
burg, Pa, and at exactly Is minutes of
six O'Clock on the evening of July she
said: Wesley is shot Fifteen minutes
later, exactly at six o'clock, she said:
Wesley is dead She afterwards ex-
planned that at quarter of six o'clock
she heard him say as though standing
close behind her: oh, my mother
On the following morning a telegram
was received announcing the fact that
my brother had been killed at the bat
tie of Gettysburg on the preceding
evening. OF course mother knew that
great battle was going on because the
guns could be heard very distinctly in
Harrisburg, but she had no means of
knowing that her son was actually en-
gagged in the battle, or was where his
life was in danger. She simply re-
ceived the impression that he was shot,
and then Is minutes later that he was
dead. Two days afterwards my uncle
went to Gettysburg and found the
body of my brother and had it removed
to Harrisburg, where the remains were
inferred.
II had another experience which was
very singular. l was in the national
cemetery at Gettysburg several years
ago, and by some instructive impulse
l walked towards the graves of the
regular army soldiers. There, to my

Lieut.. Wesley +. Miller. l called the
attention of the superintendent to the
headstone and asked him if he had any
means of knowing that Lieut.. Miller
was buried there, and he said that there
could be no doubt of it. l told him that
l personally knew that my brother was
buried in Harrisburg. and he indffer-
emily said: We'll, some other soldier
is buried there, and that name will do
just as well for him as any other, now

In this view of the case the United States might be held liable for the bonds. The sentiment of the committee is against the United States assuming any such possible liability. Others, like MT.

The international authorities will be looked up by the members of the committee tonight and an attempt made to ascertain exactly in what way the bonds are a lien on the Cuban revenues. Tomorrow the committee will meet again and Sena- tor Davis, who is considered one of the authorities on international law in this country, will be asked to appear before them. MT.
