lightful entertainments will be given by
both the Young Mems Institute and the

dred emancipated Philippines could adj
vance. We can not, it is true, ask in
reason that the United States should
come TO Ireland's help in her struggle
for liberty in the way in which Spanish
rule was swept away in the Antilles, but
we can, both in reason and fair play,
appeal to our own kith and kin across
the Atlantic to see to it that all their
influence shall be pitted against any
alliance which England may want Amer
lea to consent to, unless England will on
her own part agree to do for Ireland what
America has accomplished for Cuba.
Our appeal will not be dismissed or un-
needed. We have only got to pull our
selves together at home to put an end to
the divisions which Ireland's foes are
fomenting, and brighter hopes and great
er forces than ever encouraged the strife
for Irish liberty will cheer our people
and our cause on to speedy victory.

Hiberniap Hall presented an animated
and lovely picture last Sunday afternoon,
Notwithstanding the extremely cold and
disagreeahle weather prevailing outside,
when Miss Rose Taylor, the County

bratiOn on st. Patrick's
Day, March II.
Interesting Session, at Which
Much Business Was
Transacted.
MANY NEW MEMBERS WERE ADDED.

There was fair attendance of men,
bers present when President Thomas
Keenan, called the meeting of the Irish
American Society to order Thursday even
ing. After the reading and approval of
the minutes of the preceding meeting a
large number of new members were bal
loted for and admitted.
Messrs. James Koran, Mike Lawler
and Thomas Drewry reported upon the
new form of initiation, which contains
several very interesting features, which
met with the unanimous approval of the
members. At tine next meeting a COM
plete report will be made and final action
taken. The initiation ceremony will be
short and impressive and will add much
to the interest of the sessions.
During the evening it was developed
that there is a lively sentiment to so
amend the laws as to make ample pro-
vision for members who NAV be so un-
fortunate as to be sick or out of employ
ment, and it is very probable that some
important changes will be made in the
near future that will largely increase the
field of usefulness of the Irish American
Society.
Short but interesting talks were made
by President keenan,, n. ]. Sheridan,
Thomas Garvey, James Koran, Michael
Collins. M. w. Murphy and others, all
favoring the adoption of measures that
will make the society still more promi-
nent and popular than il now is.
The committee to whom was referred
the matter of procuring a society button
submitted a very handsome design,
which was adopted. The buttons will
be ready for distribution at the next
meeting. - $500. ...,v----..u-.
The officers win make theft reports at
the next meeting showing the standing
of the members. Those who are in ar
rears will thus have an opportunity of
paying their dues in the meantime.
Vice President Michael Lawler advo-
Gated the celebration of 81. Patricks Day
by the members of the Irish-American
Society, and his remarks were warmly
applauded. Messrs. John Mulloy, Mark
Ryan, Thomas Garvey, Mike Lawler,
Tom Keenan, and M. w. Murphy were
instructed to procure suitable hall and
arrange programme of exercises for the
occasion and report on Thursday even
ing, March 3.
The society would have celebrated the
anniversary Of Robert Emmett but for
the fact that the time was too limited and
this year it falls on Saturday.
The next meeting will be an interest
ing one, and it is expected that Hibern-
ian Hall will be filled to its doors,

GOOD MATCH.

Since John Hickey's advent into Linn
erick with his handsome pool tables,
pool has become quite the rage. Mr..
Hickey says that two of the most prom
ising players df that neighborhood, who
have sprung from the ranks. are Jim
Sexton and John Mullaney, and match
between these two would furnish warm
argument indeed. Mr.. Hickey acted as
referee in very exciting contest there
last week in game between Jim Sexton
and his old rival, Will Sissell, Sexton
finally winning by narrow margin.

time thereafter Bodenstown was but rare

the Martyrs Crave received but little
attention, and that little only when some

the inscription prepared by Thomas Da-

his friends had placed over what, until

moved by common impulse, all knelt
simultaneously and prayed for his soul

surroundings.
Bodenstown churchyard is one of the
smallest have seen in Ireland, being not
much more than an acre in extent.
Though very ancient, and conse-
quently the burial place of countless
generations, it contains but few monu-
mental records, there not being a score
of headstones visible at the time of our
visit. 1t is bounded on three sides by

Attorney HC. Altizer Of the thriving

of smoke from his rustic lips toward

are youp"
The STUDENT of Blackstone from Spar

was forced to come TO the rescue and
inform his honor that the offender
was an attorney.
ut seems incr edible,n continued
Judge Dunno, ''that a sworn officer
of court should forget the respect
that is due to the tribunal. Are you
accustomed to smoke in court where
you practice lawP"
Mr.. Altizer had so far regained
his composure as to tell the Judge
that it was considered the right thing
in Sparta, "but," he fastened to add,
81 certainly had no intention OF fail

II am sorry" said Judge Dunno,
"but the rule is that there shall be no
smoking here. Mr.. Clerk. enter an
