COUNTY BOARD.
Much Business Transacted at the
neeting Last Monday
Night.

The regular meeting of the County
Board Ancient Order of Hibernians, was
held in Hibernian Hall Monday evening,
with President John A. Murphy in the
chair and George Flahiff acting as
Secretary.
There was large attendance, repre-
sentatives being present from all but one
of the divisions in Jefferson county, and
a great deal of routine business was trans
acted. One matter of importance that
was up for consideration was the purchase
of a memorial lot in St. Louis cemetery,
in which deceased members without rela-
tives may be inferred.
The Vice Presidents of the six city
divisions were appointed committee to
make the necessary arrangements for a
fitting celebration of St. Patrick's day,
and Mr.. John J. Lannon, of the Young
Mems Division, was made Chairman. A
meeting of the Vice Presidents will be
held and steps taken to make the St.
Patrick's day affair memorable one.
The committee having in charge the
silver jubilee of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians in Kentucky recommended that
the Presidents of the various divisions
constitute an executive committee. The
recommendation was concurred in, and
it is probable that the order will have a
grand demonstration some time in the
spring preceding the meeting of the
national convention at Boston.
The County Board passed a resolution
indorsing the Kentucy Irish American
and commencing it to a most liberal
patronage.
Favorable action was also taken on q
number of petitions from the local divis
ions, after which the board wss enter

LIMERICK DIVISIONS RECEPTION

The past week has been a very busy
but pleasant one in Irish-Ameican social
and society circles. While there had
been important events announced for
each evening, it was matter of surprise
and congratulation to the Literary Com
mittee and officers of Division A, Ancient
Order of Hibernians, that their meeting
was so largely attended Wednesday even
ing.
When President John Hennessy called
the meeting to order there was one of the
largest audiences ever assembled in the
hall present, while the assembly room
was crowded with ladies and invited
guests. President Hennessy and Secre-
tary Kelly dispatched the business of the
mer,ing promptly, besides initiating four
new members and acting on a number OF
applications.
The Literary Committee and officers
were instructed to act for the division in
conjunction with the committee from the
Young Mems Division in making ar
engagements for the Irish drama to be
presented by them.
After the transaction of routine bust.
ness the doors were thrown open and the
public allowed to inspect the beautiful
meeting room. Following this the band
which had been provided for the occasion
took its station in the assembly room

LADIES' AUXILIARY.
They VIII Give a Euchre and Social
in Order to Raise Funds For
Worthy Purpose.

The largest and most enthusiastic social
and business meeting in the history of
the Ladies' Auxiliary, A. o. H., of this
city, was that held last Sunday afternoon
in the hall of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans.
The session was gracefully presided
over by Mrs. NJ. ]. Hickey, who as
parliamentarian stands in the front
rank among lady officials. A committee
was appointed to devise ways and means
of providing piano for the hall, and it
now seems assured that they will succeed
in carrying out this most praiseworthly
object.
The ladies also decided to give euchre
party, dance and lunch on the evening of
the last Wednesday in November. This
will undoubtedly prove a most pleasant
event. the members of the Auxiliary
knowing how to handsomely entertain
their friends. A portion of the proceeds
will be donated to the piano fund. A
number of first-class vocalists will also be
invited to be present and contribute to
the entertainment of the audience.
In addition TO the foregoing the ladies
promised their hearty support to the Ken
lucky Irish American, besides transact
ing great deal of routine business. The
following are the officers of the Ladies
Auxiliary:
President-Mrs. M. ]. Hickey.
Vice President-Miss Celia Potter.
Financial SecretarY-Miss Nellie Gun
ningham.
Recording Secretary - Miss Annie
Bayne.
Treasurer-Miss Mary Ksvanaugh.
A number of visitors were present al
the meeting, the most prominent of whom
were Miss Margaret O'Connor, State
President of the Ladies Auxiliary, an6
State Secretary James Coleman.
Col. John ]. Barrett delivered unique
and pleasing address, and a few remarks
were made by the representative of this
paper.
The auxiliary will meet again on Sun
day afternoon, November 10, when Z
number of important reports will b.
made. AS this body contains numbe
of talanted orators, an opportunity to at
tend their sessions should not be missed

ing of the sons of the '9S county, some
fresh from the native historic sod and
some who-true to the lessons learned in
the homes they had left-still preserved
that spirit of unconquerable patriotism
which has rendered the name of Wexford
talismanic wherever unselfsh devotion to
national principles is reserved and cher
ished.
Messrs. Davis, Mcclure and Michael
Cusack also addressed the meeting, and
some details of the forthcoming visit to
Corey having been settled, the business
proceedings terminated and songs and
recitations, all excellently rendered.
brought a pleasant, instructive and en-
couraging meeting to a close.

fantastic, and spent most enjoyable
evening. At II o'clock the ladies and
gentlemen were invited to partake of re-
freshments from Wathen's, and the good
things furnished by that popular caterer
were greatly relished.

be submitted to the meeting.
Mr.. McTernan, Secretary, announced
that the following letter was received:
Having long since ceased to take part
in political affairs, regard the invitation
with which your committee have hon
ored me as kind token of remembrance
and good will, for which am most CRATE
full. In sending a subscription to the
Sligo memorial fund beg to say that
esteem it high privilege to join my first
constituents and oldest political friends
in celebrating the deathless memory of
the men of '9S. Yours faithfully,
THOMAS SEXTON"
Letters were also received from Miss
Maud Come, Mr.. N. +. Devine, Mr.
Owen Mccain, Carrick -on Shannon, and
seveal others.
Mr.. McCarrick proposed the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That, recognizing and main
tanning the right of every people to civil
and religious liberty, we justify, adopt
and adhere to the cardinal principles of
the men of 1898, and when and wherever
that right is denied to the efforts made
for the purpose of securing it by consti-
tutional means, it becomes not only justi-
fable but the duty of all civilized and
self-respecting peoples to assert it by
force of arms.
Resolved, That while we believe it to
be our duty to take our part, and we do
solemnly take our part in the centenary
celebrations, we are convinced that
'the memory of the men of '9S can
only be fittingly and effectually honored
by loyalty to the principles they pro-
fessed, advocated and died for, and as
one of the greatest and noblest of those
principles was union and brotherhood
among Irishnen, irrespective of creed
or class, we pledge ourselves to forget the
differences of the past few years and
henceforth strive earnestly, unsel6shly
and unitedly to win for Ireland the full
satisfaction of her national demands.
Resolved, That we heartily approve
of the objects and principles of the
United Irish League, and that we pledge
ourselves to show our cordial and practi-
cal sympathy with its promoters by es-
tablishing forthwith branches of the
League in the town of Sligo and in every
parish and district of the county of Sligo
in which branches do not already exist.
Resolved, That, while we are pre-
pared to extend to all men tolerance
never extended to us by grind jurors or
ex-officio guardians, we consider it our
imperative duty as Nationalist to resist
with all our force the return to the new
County Councils and District Councils OF
Sligo of any candidate who is not pre-
pared to support and advocate the right
of the people of Ireland to make Their
own laws on Irish soil.
Mr.. Mulroony seconded the resolutions,
which were declared carried amid loud
cheers.
Mr.. William O'Brien was then intro
duced and delivered a most powerful
speech, advocating the cause of united
Ireland, declaring that the cause of Irish
nationality was never in better condi
ton since the English first landed or
Irish shores.

UNION LABEL LAW VALID.

Judge Holmes, of the United States
Circuit Court at Omaha, in deciding a
case involving the label of trade union
recently, used the following language in
concluding his opinion; "The label is a
part of the well-known machinery Of
trades unions, and the use of it is found,
if a finding be necessary, to be of value
to the union and its members. 1t would
not be travelling too far from the record
perhaps il we should assume that the use
of the label is, in fact, as it certainly
might be. of far more economic import
ance to the union than are most of the
trademarks. strictly so-called, which are
protected by the COURTS

WEXFORD.
Duty of Irishmen to Honor the
Memory of Patriotic Dead
of All Generations.

The usual weekly meeting OF the Wex-
ford Centenary Association held on sun
day evening at los Talbot street was rem
dered more than usually interesting by
the presence of many representative men
from the county, who were in town Tor
the Parnell anniversary. Mr.. p. J. Law
lor occupied the chair.
The Chairman in his opening address
welcomed the representatives OF Wexford
TO their meeting, and said that it always
was noble du.y for Irishmen to honor
the memory of their patriot dead OF all
generations. 1t was duty in the highest
conception of the term for all peoples to
perpetuate the traditions of fidelity to
country which inspired the best and
noblest of their race, and no nation on the
face of the earth had nobler patriots to
revere or grander principles to preserve
than the Irish The present year amply
showed the world that those who tried to
serve Ireland unsel6shly had earned and
were receiving that enshrinement in the
. grateful recollection of the people, and
their principles and cause that endear'
ment in their hearts of their race which
is the fittest honor and most enduring
fame that any man can desire.
Mr.. O'Crowley expressed the pleasure
il afforded him to meet his exiled fellow
countymen in the city of Dublin, where
that tenacity to national principles Sc
Characteristic of the Wexford people
seemed to intensity rather than diminish
Mr.. O'Gorman said that it was in sucf
reunions as this that the national spirit

deed, an extreme pleasure to see tina

Mr.. Thomas ]. Foley in all extremel,

CHEESEMAN'S ABBEY.
Rev. Edmond Obrecht EIe-
waited to the Position of
Abbot Yesterday.

Inc consecration ceremonies by winch
Right Rev. Edmond Obrecht was ele-
waited to the position of Abbot of Geth-
semane Abbey were celebrated at the
Abbey yesterday, being performed by
the Right Rev. George William M'Clos-
key, Bishop of the Diocese of Louisville.
The conservation of an Abbot is q very
rare service in the United States, as there
are only two monasteries of this order i'll
this country-this one and another near
Dubuque, Iowa-and was witnessed by a
large number of clergy and laymen and
others from this city and the surrounding
country. A special train was run from
the Union depot in the morning for the
convenience of invited guests and others,
making stops at all stations, and returned
in the evening.
Father Edmond Obrecht is the third
Abbot of this monastery to be consecrated
in this country since its foundation in
lS4S. The first one was the Right Rev.
Father Eutropia, who came with the
monks from the Abbey of La Trappe,
France, and was consecrated i'll st. JOS
eph's church at Bardstown. He ruled
the order until 1860 when he resigned
and returned to his native land. His
successor was the Right Rev. Father
Benedict, who was consecrated at St.
GATHERINGS church, New Haven, KY. He
reigned until 1890, when he resigned on
account of il.-health, and Right Rev.
Father Edwards was elected to succeed
him, and has remained as Abbot until a
few weeks ago, when he resigned, and
Rev. Father Obrecht' was elected his
successor.
The new Abbot was born at Stolzheim,
Alsace, in 1858. He finished his studies
in the seminary at Strasburg, Alsace, and
was graduated with distinction. Like
many other patriotic youths of his time
he determined to take up arms in defense
of his country during the Franco-Prus
sian war. Before he had chance to dor
a uniform the war came to an end.
Instead of becoming a military man he
put OH the habit of St. Bernard and
attached himself to the monastery of Ii
Grande, Trappe, France. After passing
through his novitiate he was admitted tC
simple vows, on the feast of ST. Joseph
March 10, 1877. In the following yea
he was sent to the monastery of the Three
Fountains, near Rome, where he contin
ued his theological studies, and afte
having passed a rigorous examination
was awarded his title of Doctor o
Divinity.
In Rome he was admitted to his solemn
VOWS and was ordained priest. Tw,
years later he was appointed Vice Procu
rator General of the whole order. witt
his residence in Rome. Since that tim
he has held several high and responsible
positions in the order. Pope Leo XIII
ordered him to come to America to solici
aims for the historic monastery of SITS
Vincent and Anastasius, better known a
the Three Fountains. He spent fou
years at this work in New York city.
