LITTLE SOLDIERS.
st. PatriCk'S Cadets Attend
Military Mass in Full
Uniform.

One of the most pleasing of the Easter
observances of the past week occurred at
St. Patrick's church, with Right Rev.
Mgr. Gambon officiating. There was a
military mass at 1890 O'Clock, attended
by the st. Patrick's Cadets and Off
GERS, and they presented strikingly
handsome appearance in their natty full
dress uniforms. The officers command
ing the divisions were Thomas Fallon,
Captain; John Stewart, First Lieutenant;
George Wilson, Second Lieutenant; Chas.
Greenwell, First Sergeant; Thomas Kee-
nan, Second Sergeant; John Houri-
gan, Charles Phillips, Walter Cusick and
Thomas Burke, Corporals. Haydn's third
mass was sung by selected choir. The
cadets appeared at the vesper service at
% O'Clock. They are we'll drilled and
make a favorable contrast with COM
panies composed of grown men.

extinction not to st. Patrick, but, strange
as it may seem, to Moses, and in proof
of this quote an ancient legend. 1t oc-
CURED in this way:
When the Israelates were travelling
through the desert on their way to the
promised land they encountered to pow
erful and warlike tribe who spoke the
Gaelic tongue lone of the languages
supposed to have originated at the tower
of Babel, and who, like themselves.
were travelling i'll search of a promised
land-that is, western island that was
wildly pictured to their King in dream
Now this King had an only son whose
name was Gael, and as they were en-
camped close to the Israelites, poison
GUS snake bit him on the neck, leaving
CHASTITY wound that continued to in
crease as the poison spread, and which
baffled the skill of the physicians to cure
Having heard of the fame of Moses, the
King sent for him and besought him to
save the life of the young Prince. Moses
readily complied, and by his prayers
healed the wound, which left i'll its place
a green spot; hence he was called Gael
glas Green Gael, anglicized Gadelas.
The King, having expressed his deep
felt gratitude, Moses promised young
Gael that wherever his posterity should
settle the land would be free from all
poisonous reptiles. This Prince was the
great ancestor of the MileSiau Trish ,vho
were also called an Clan ma Gael, or Ga
delians-that is, the children of Gael
glas or Gadelas. And so Moses promise
has been fulfilled in Ireland.
1t will also be seen how natural it is for
Irishmen to wear the green, especially
about the neck, where it was indeliby
marked upon their ancestors by an Ara
bian snake about four thousand years
ago

MAN MAY BEAT HIS WIFE.

A decision was rendered by Judge Pea
body in the St. Louis Police Court Wed
nesday that under certain conditions a
husband has the right to beat his wife.
The case was of one Bernard Kretzer
charged with beating his wife because she
would not agree with him in the manage
ment of their children Judge Peabody
said in passing judgment:
In this case the wife was more guilty
than the husband for trying to contradict
and thwart her husband S will in the pres
ence of the children and setting them
bad example. which he had a right to
rebuke. There are times when wife ir-
ritates her husband to such an extent
that he can not control himself, and uses
his hand Ior fist. AS long as no serious
harm is done do not believe in punish
ment

OPENS MONDAY.
Bazaar for the Dominican
ChurCh-Contest Excit-
ing Great Interest.

The St. Louis Bertrand church bazaar,
which was postponed from April 3, will
open next Monday at the school hall,
Sixth street, between st. Catherine and
Oak. As the opening draws near several
of the contests for prizes have become
close and interesting, one in particular
being the race for the $500 piano offered
the person selling the most tickets to the
bazaar. This race has narrowed down to
two contestants--Miss Nellie Finnegan
and Miss Susie Becker-each having a
host of friends, who are striving good
naturally to land their favorite a winner.
Another interesting feature, which is an
innovation in the bazaar line III this city,
is the handsome little pony and cart,
which was presented to Rev. Father
Logan, to be raffled off at the bazaar. It
seems that every man. woman, boy and
girl in the Limerick district have set their
hearts on winning this prize, and who
ever the winner-he or she-is certainly
to be envied.
If present indications and advance
notices count for anything the bazaar
will open in blaze of glory and continue
a brilliant success as long as it lasts, and
also pose as striking example of what
the hustling efforts of the members of
St. Louis Bertrand's can do in this line.

THE RED MAN.

The first number of the Southern Man,
a magazine devoted to the interests Of the
Red Men of the South and West, made
its appearance last week. The publica-
ton is creditable one, and there is no
reason why its future should not be all
that its promoters desire. 1t is well ed
tied and printed and contains much
local and outside news of interest to the
tribes. Mr.. A. j. Domeck is its pub
Usher, and his past experience will prove
valuable to the new enterprise. We wish
it success.

CHAPLAINS FOR FIREMEN
Two Clergymen in Uniform
Due on Second Alarm.
Priest and Minister.

Fire Commissioner Scannell, Of New
York, has appointed the Rev. William
Smith and the Rev. James lie Baron
Johnson chaplains of the department,
with the rank of Battalion Chief. Mr..
Johnson is an assistant to the Rev. DIR.
Huntington, of Grace church. Father
Smith is a member of the Order of
Fathers of Mercy. The Fire Department
never before had chaplains. The Com
missioner was moved to create the Office
in consequence of the Windsor hotel fire,
where several firemen were injured.
The chaplains will not have any salary.
They will be expected to go to all large
fires where there is probability of fire.
men or other people being injured, so as
to give religious consolation to those de-
string it. They will wear uniform
according to their rank, and will have a
fire alarm in their residences, SO that they
may promptly go to big fires.
Father Smith received his appointment
through and with the approval of Arch
bishop Corrigan. With reference to his
new work he said:
"Mr. Johnson and l are good friends,
and we are enthusiastic about our work
with the firemen. Our duties are to be
similar to those of army chaplains, and
wherever we are needed we will go with
will. We were measured for our uni
forms, and they will be ready by Easter.
They will consist of the blue coat with
brass buttons, the cap and the gold shield
of the Battalion Chief. On the shields
will be the word Chaplain, and on the
left sleeve of the coat will be either a
white cross on red ground or a red
cross on a white ground. The color ar
rangement has not been determined yet.
"The Fire Department. is TO provide us
with horses and we will furnish carriages.
Each chaplain's team is to be kept at the
fire station nearest to his house and will
be driven to his door by a fireman on any
second alarm, We are correspond to all
second alarms anyway, and viii OF course
60 to any fire when there is need of our
services. We have fire alarm gongs in
our rooms and tapes to indicate the exact
location of a fire. When the alarm comes
in shall put on my uniform and then
wait until I hear my driver outside
changing the bell on my wagon"
Father Smith was formerly the spirit
ual director of the Catholic pilgrimages
from this country to the European
shrines.
Mr.. Johnson first became interested in
firemen and their work eight years ago
out in Tacoma, where he was engaged in
missionary work. All firemen were his
friends in that town, and much of the
time he lived with them in the engine
houses. When he came to this city, six
years ago, he brought with him from the
Tacoma firemen letters to Chief Bonner
and other members of the local depart
ment. He has been at many of the big
fires here, has of1iciated at the funerals
of several firemen and is an admirer of
Chief Bonner and his men. Two years
ago he contributed sufficient money to
provide annually the Bonner gold medal
for bravery in life saving at fires.

THE REFRESHMENTS IN ABUNDANCE.

The reception and dance of the Irish
American Society at Hibernian Hall

enjoyable of the many pleasant social
events of the past season among the
different Irish-American societies of this
city. The audience was a large one.
composed of the best class of our citizens,
and had the weather been fair the two
halls would not have accommodated the
friends of this popular society.
President Thomas keenan, presided as
Chairman and POSTMASTER and in a
happy and filicitous manner introduced
the different ladies and gentlemen who
were to assist in carrying out the excel
lently arranged programme. He also
gave brief history of the Irish-American
Society and its aims and purposes, refut-
ing the silly statements heretofore made
by local papers.
The address of the evening was deliv-
cred by Hon. Matt o Doherty, and it was
pronounced one of the most eloquent
ever heard in that hall. His remarks
were patriotic and created unbounded
enthusiasm. He gave synopsis of what
the Irish people had done in behalf of
civilization, paying a glowing tribute TO
many who became famous in their EN-
deavors to serve the United States from
the Revolution to the present time. He
was warmly applauded.
Patrick O'Connor rendered several Sc
lections OIL the accordion, and his PLAYING
of old but favorite Irish airs was one of
the most pleasing features of the even
ing.
James B. Kelly convulsed the audience
with his recitation and was recalled
several times, as was also Mr.. Otto Wise
man, whose cornet solos were of a very
high class order.
Misses Carrie Scally and Mary Kelly
were the vocal soloists of the evening.
and won new laurels. They possess sweet
voices, and brilliant future is predicted
for them.
Miss Nellie Finnegan won many friends
by her rendition of several artistic and
feelng difhcult selections on the piano,
and many declared themselves as favor
ing her in her contest for the piano
offered at the Dominican fair.
Following the literary and musical ex-
ercises refreshments were served in
abundance, after which the audience
took possession of the dancing hall and
tripped the light fantastic to the music of
Prof Tom Scally's excellent orchestra.
In addition to the fashionable dances of
the present day there were reels and
breakdowns, and the liveliness of some
of the old-timers was a revelation to the
youngsters.
Messrs. Thomas Keenan, Michael Law
Ter, Mark Ryan, Kelly, Tim Naughton.
John Mulloy, d. j.. Coleman and others
were untiring in their efforts to make
everything pleasant for the audience, and
to them much credit is due for the happy
results attained.

Final Accounting On Estate of
Edgar f. Hawley.
A FINAL Dividend OF THREE AND SIX
rENTHS PER CENT ORDERED.

There was hearing on Monday Of
this week before Referee John w. Banks
at 10 q. m., at his office In Bridgeport
upon the final account of Attorney
Charles H. Northrop as trustee upon the
estate Of EDGAR r. Hawley, late of New
town, now of Derby. A number Of
Bridgeport lawyers appeared in opposi-
tion to accepting Mr. Northrop's account,
principally because he had charged 5000
for his, services as receiver in addition
to his bill for services as trustee,
which amounted to some $75. MIR Nor.
throp claimed $500 was q reasonable
sum, but all the attorneys In opposition
agreed that he ought not to be allowed
not less than $25 or more than $50. The
result OF the contest was that Judge
Banks allowed him S75. A final dividend
was declared Of three and six-tenths
cents on the dollar.
