Large and Enthusiastic Meeting
i'm Michigan Sympathizes
with the Beers.
The OratOrical HOnOrs Were
Carried Off by the Irish
Representatives.
ONE-FOURTH THE AUDIENCE WOMEN.

One of the largest and most wildly en-
thusiastic meetings ever held in Michigan
took place in the Auditorium at Grand
Rapids Monday night under the auspices
of the United American Transvaal League,
recently organized there. Though cold,
drenching rain had been falling, the hall.
the largest in the State, was completely
packed, about one-fourth of the audience
being women. Every one present, even
the speakers, singers and vice presidents
contributed twenty-five cents or more to
the Holland Red Cross Society,
The hall was decorated with the flags
of the nations represented in the audi
ence, the stars and stripes predominating,
but there was a profusion of Holland,
German, Irish, Polish and French colors,
and the flags of the Transvaal republic
and the Orange Free State were given
prominent positions.
The programme was unique, speakers
having been selected from the various
nationalities and each speaker was pre-
ceded by national anthems rendered by
musical organizations of his nationality
and in his native tongue. The local di-
vision Ancient Order of librarians, the
largest in the West, turned out in force,
but they were outnumbered by the Polish
clubs and almost equaled by the German
Turner's and members of the Arbeiter-
bund. In oratory the Irish carried off the
honors, while the singing of the Polish
societies, Holka and Lutnia, excelled.
The speeches all expressed sympathy,
admiration and hope of victory for the
Afrikanders, and most of them denounced
England bitterly. Mayor PeSrSsnresi61
and although he tried to hurry matters,
the applause was so persistent that the
programme which was scheduled for two
hours was not finished until near mid
night.
John T. Heating, National President of
the Ancient Order of Hiberniars, said
this week in Chicago that the plan TO
raise 100000 in the organization to
aid in fitting out troops to help the Beers
in their fight with the British met with
the enthusiastic Endorsement of every
|
member of the order in the United States
and Canada.
Mr.. Heating has been authorized to
bring the matter before the executive
officers of the order. 1t is proposed that
every member give money toward the
scheme, and that with the fund thus
raised troops and hospital corps be
equipped and sent to South Africa to join
the Boer forces. Speaking of the move
ment Mr. Heating said;
Personally am in happy accord with
it. We have more than two hundred
thousand members, and if each member
gives s. toward the fund it would not be
difficult to raise the proposed 81 1000, 900.
1 have no doubt that the scheme will
meet with the approval of the officers and
directors"

may be understood when it is stated that
the altitude of Nelson's pillar is only 125
feet, and that the Arnott tower near it is
FIVE feet lower. The Christian emblem
will thus be visible many miles on every
side of Maynooth. and the tower itself
must form a prominent feature of the
surrounding landscape. Eighty-seven feet
from the ground will be placed the mas
sive clock, with a face six feet three
inches in diameter, and still far away
overhead the bells will swing and send
the music of their chimes from hill to hill.
The tower at the base is thirty feet square,
the massive walls being nine feet six
inches thick.
