OIREACHTAS.
Now the Central Event in the
National Life of
Ireland.

The third National Oreachtas as
sembled in the Rotunda, Dublin,
Wednesday, June Z, and continued two
days. This annual gathering has in All
incredibly short time established itself as
the central event in the national life of
Ireland In January, 1897, the Gaelic
League issued the programme of the first
Oireachtas. The triumphant success of
the undertaking came as revelation to
all of the reality and force of the Irish
language movement. Last years Won
derful gathering completely eclipsed that
of the year before. 1t was, in fact, the
commencement of the complete national
ization of the movement. The wonder
full spread of the organization IN the
heart of the disappearing area, the
establishment of the national language
fund and the launching of the Leagues
weekly bilingual organ are some of the
fruits of the undertaking. In short, in
stead of the small band of workers that
made the Oireachtas of '97 so brilliant a
success, there is now great national
organization embracing hundred earnest

with pleasure two flags of Erin, one on
the building of Col. John Casey and the
other on the City Hall, put there by Off
Ger O'Leary, the first of their kind ever
seen in our city. Hereafter they will
float on all public occasions, for which
thanks are due the noble patriots above
named.
1t was with great pleasure and delight
that we read Hon. Matt O'Doherty's able
and patriotic speech at the recent ban
quet in your city in reponse to the toast,
peace and Commerce, etc. That's the
kind of talk we like to hear and that

could accommodate. He closed with an
affecting reference to the growth of Geth-
semani.
"Behold, what a changed Where the
wild woods abounded now stands this
noble monastery; where the foot of civil
lied man had hardly trod now towers to-
ward high heaven the majestic spire of
this most graceful church; where the
wild rose and thorn strpve for mastery
now under the skillful hand of the silent
monk thrive the grape, the apple and the
corn.
"Oh, may that spirit of prayer and
charity of the first Trappists of Geth-
semani keep the members true to the
traditions of the past and the teachings
of its holy founders; that the world may
learn from their silent lives that peace
and happiness which are the portion of
those who, having sold all and given to
the poor, follow Christ
"Oh, good monks of La Trappel let
me besecch you to uphold in all its glory
the honor of your monastery. And when
this golden jubilee shall have rounded
out into a centennial feast may the sue
cessors of the present children of the
monastery be found prActicing all the
virtues that have characterized the Trap
pists of Gethsemani"
After the sermons close a solemn pro-
cession was given for the benefit OF those
outside the monastery walls. Headed by

accompanied by all the clergy and the
monks, proceeded from the church
around the wall aud out the avenue of
elms, and the crowds knelt to receive
his blessing. A most Interesting mem
Der of the procession was Father An
TONNE, the sole survivor of the band OF
forty-fve pilgrims from France who
founded Gethsemani. He has been a
monk since the age of nineteen and car
ried the identical wooden cross borne by
the Abbot Eutropius when the Trappists
came to Kentucky.
After the mass and sermon there was a
banquet for the invited guests. Abbot
Obrecht was POSTMASTER, paying trib-
ute to Leo Kill, which was responded
to by Archbishop Martinelli.

Monsignor Gambon, who deplored the
absence of the Bishop of Louisville, and
referred to the occasion as one of the
brightest pages in Catholic history in
Kentucky.
The Abbot, when called upon, respond
ed to "Gethsemani," and made some
feeling remarks.
There was a procession around the
church and the abbey, which was a part
of the morning service. The "Te Deum''
was sung during the procession very
solemnly by the monks.
In the afternoon there was Pontifical
Vespers, the celebrant being the Right
Rev. F.. f. Prendergast, d. D., Auxiliary
Bishop of Philadelphia, assisted by the
Rev. Father Fitzgerald, of Shelbyville,
and Fathers York and Schuhmann, Of
this city, which closed the jubilee.
Ample provision had been made for all
who came from Louisville and the sur.
rounding country and there were nearly
| 200, besides those who had invitations
The Abbot had prepared for these by
having slaughtered six fat cattle, twelve
lambs, seven calves and other animals
aud 10 one went away hungry. Besides
the meats there was plentiful supply Of
bread baked in the monastery ovens and
seventy-fve gallons of ice cream. All Of
this was given gratuitously.
The train from Louisville brought sew

City Assessor Murphy, Ed r. Tierney, Of
the Board of Safety. and many others
there being large representation of non-
Catholics who had been specially in

to enter and inspect the grounds and

What does it profit a woman il she
gain the whole world of knowledge
and lose her own health? Young
women students and school teachers,
eager, ambitious, and full of energy,
very often neglect their health in the
struggle to gain education. They eat
insufficient food, and at irregular
hours, they allow irregularity of the
womanlV functions to be established,
and the result is that they become
chronic invalids with all their educa-
ton practically worthless. There 10

as these, marked by the feet of thous-
