somer throng of young and old people
never before gathered within its walls.
The large number of tables in the meet
ing room were occupied when the bell
rang at $3.50 for play to begin, and those
who could not be seated or did not wish
to play assembled in the dance hall,
where they tripped the light fantastic to
the enhancing strains of Prof. Scally's
orchestra.
Miss Rose Sweeney, the President of
the auxiliary, was assisted in receiving
by Misses Nell Cunningham, Mary Cavan-
augh, Annie Hagerty, Mary Kelly, Lizzie
Lynch, Mamie Connors. Annie Kelly,
Sarah Kitty, Celia Potter, Margaret
O'Connor, Josie Godfrey, Katie Shaugh-
messy, Katie Nalty, Maggie Glenn, Mrs.
James Coleman and Mrs. Jennie Burke,
and each was untiring during the whole
evening to do everything possible to
make the occasion memora BILE one.
At 1870 the prizes were awarded, the
winning ladies being Misses Mary Z.
Goodwin and Mollie Burke, who received
an elegant pocketbook and silver hat pin
respectively.
Tom Naughton and Pat Walsh were
the gentlemen winners, the former re-
ceiving an elegant scarf and pin and the
latter gold cross pendant.
Upon the conclusion of the euchre
several vocal and piano solos were rem
dered in an excellent manner, and many
were the encomiums conferred upon the
piano presented by the Ladies' Auxiliary
to the Hibernians of Louisville, after
which the players INDUCED in dancing
until after midnight.
One of the most amusing features of
the evening was the cake walk engaged
in by Murt Gallagher and Miss Rose
Kelly, of this city, and Tom Horne and
Miss Julie Mccarthy, of Jacksonville.
They made the hit of the evening and
their many unexpected and comical evo-
lutions caused peal after peal of laughter.
They excelled anything of the kind seen
here this season.
All the divisions of this city were we'll
represented, and President Will Reilly
of Jacksonville, was accompanied by
Misses Wayne Ganetty, Julie Mccarthy,
Mary Maher, Maggie Dugan, Ella Gar
retty and Maggie Cahill, of the newly
organized Ladies' Auxiliary of the latter
city, who came to invite their Louisville
sisters to pay them a visit.
The ladies were ably assisted by
Messrs. John Cavanaugh.' Joe Taylor,
James Barry, James Coleman and others,
to whom they return thanks for the
services rendered. Their next social af-
fair will most likely be a lawn fete, in
accordance with the request of an army
of their friends.

ment looking to TIE betterment of the
laboring classes. For more than quar-
ter of century Mr.. Herndon has been
with the various firms composed of Hon.
James c. Gilbert, Thomas Bradley and
others, comprising the old firm of Brad

of the Bradley & Gilbert Company when
the present association was formed and
incorporated. Mr.. Herndon entered the
Auditors Office when a boy, assisting in
the Treasurer's Office when occasion
required, and became thoroughly ac-
quainted with the details of both offices.
Besides being an expert accountant, Mr..
Herndon is a man of liberal education, a
true-blue Democrat, and has all the quail
tiles that fit him for the position to which
he aspires. AS party worker no one
has been more diligent than he, and the
Democrats of Louisville, Jefferson county
and the State will make no mistake in
giving him their united support.

COUNTY BOARD MEETING.
Preparing For the Annual
Fourth of July Cele-
bration.

The meeting of the County Board of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians last
Saturday evening was presided over by
President John Murphy. The attendance
was not as large as usual, owing to the
interest taken in the contest for the Irish
flag at the Dominican church.
President Murphy reported the results
of the labors of various committees since
the last meeting, and they were of most
encouraging nature. The quarterly re-
port from Division 2 was also received,
showing an increase in membership.
The members of the County Board were
treated to an agreeable surprise, the Hall
Board, through Chairman James Cole,
man, rendering the former the use of
Hibernian Hall free of charge for the
future.
Active preparations are being made for
the annual Fourth of July celebration.
The Executive Committee reported prog.
ress, and the indications are that this
years celebration will surpass any here.
tofore held.
The question of increasing the initia
ton fee will come up for action at the
next meeting, and those wishing to be-
come members of the order should take
advantage of the present low rate.
Another meeting of the board will be
held this evening, and every member i.
urged to be present. Matters of import
ance will come before it.

acted. The committe having in charge
the arrangements for the celebration of
Labor day reported progress.
The credentials of the delegates from
the newly organized Painters Union, No.
%, were accepted, and the following
were given seats: William G.. Kolp, H. H.
Sheldon and Robert E. Price.
The Plasterers' Union withdrew in
order to join the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. The union still recognizes the au-
thority of the Central Labor Union and is
friendly toward it.
The metal polishers sent in commune
cation requesting that the Solar bicycle
lamp be declared unfair, which was done.
President McGill was authorized to
go to Washington, d. c., to confer with
officials of the American Federation of
Labor.
A committee was appointed to call
upon Herman Christen, now of the United
Trades and Labor Assembly. This COM
mittee will seek to obtain from Mr.
Christen a copy of the agreement given
by the Louisville Railway Company few
years ago, wnen there was agitation for
conductors and vestibules on street cars.
Mr.. Christen at that time was Chairman
of the Committee on Legislation of the
Central Labor Union, and is said to have
received from the railway company the
agreement in which was contained a
promise TO make concessions along the
line of placing conductors on cars. The
Board of Directors of the Central Labor
Union waited on Mr.. Herman Christen,
but were unable to get from him the con-
tract. He now claims that it is not in
his possession, and that he can not pro-
duce it for this reason. The committee
will ask him for the agreement FORM
ally and report back.
The Kentucky Irish American was in
dorsed as the official organ of the central
body. William NJ Higgins, the manag-
ing editor of the paper, is the Organizer
for the Seventh district of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union. The dis
trict consists of the States of Kentucky,
Illinois and Indiana. Mr. Higgins was
the President of the local Typographical
Union for three years, and has been the
representative of the union at three in
ternational conventions--at Pittsburg,
Syracuse and here. He also was a repre-
sentative at two conventions of the
American Federation of Labor-at Dem
yer and at New York.
The Central Labor Union is now in
correspondence with Col. Bryan, and
hopes to get him here for the Labor day
celebration.
The meeting adjourned to meet tomor-
row afternoon to take up the new consti-
tuition and bylaws and finish up some
important business.

Dedicated at Chicka-
manga Wednesday.

On the battlefield of Chickamauga,
next Wednesday, the monument of Ken
lucky to the memory of her brave sons,
the wearers of both the blue and the
gray, will be dedicated with appropriate
ceremonies. The Kentucky delegation,
headed by the Governor and his staff,
will be one of which the old Common
wealth may well be proud. The full staff
OF his Excellency, the Hon. William o.
Bradley, including two Brigadier Gen
erals and sixty Colonies will take part.
The Kentucky delegation, according to
the programme now arranged, will leave
Louisville on the morning of May 2.
Among those who will go from this city
are Col. John H. Whallen and Col. Mike

ident J. I. Harahan, of the Illinois Cen
trail, has been placed at the disposal of
Gov Bradley. The train. containing
most of the staff, will leave Louisville
over the Southern, meeting the Cover
nor's special at Lexington. The private
coach will be coupled to the main section
at that place, and then will begin an I'M
broken run to Chattanooga.
A special committee will meet the Ken
tuckians at the depot and escort them to
the Auditorium, where there will be a
banquet. Next day the monument will
be dedicated, according to the programme
already published. The monument is the
work of Col. Mike Muldoon, of this city,
and is one of the most imposing on that
historic field.

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.

There was a good attendance at the
meeting of the Building Trades Council
Thursday evening. Owing to the alb
sence of President George Roser, Presi-
dent Heheman occupied the chair. The
Lathers' Union sent delegates to the meet
ing, making nearly all the trades repre-
sented,
The good work of the council is already
being felt in various quarters, and has
the Endorsement of quite number Of
contractors. Those at his head are bust
ness men, and if their advice is followed
there will be marked improvement in
the condition of those engaged in the
building trades, both employers and EN-
ployes.
The Kentucky Irish American was
unanimously Endorsed as the official
organ of the council, which action is
highly appreciated. Its best services
will be at the disposal of the building

ONE UNDER ERIN'S FLAG.
A Thrilling Incident in the
Streets of Memphis in
Civil War Times.

The regiment was Irish-Irish from
Colonel to drummer boy. 1t carried the
'flag of Erin" side by side with "Old
Glory" and felt and acknowledged a
double responsibility in maintaining the
honor of both. THE army records say it
cast no discredit on either The Colonel
had served in Summers Dragons, and
had been a soldier of fortune in Mexico
and Central America; the men, bronzed
from exposure to the Southern sun,
hardened in campaign, bivouac and bat
tie, marched with the free swing which
characterized the army of the West, and
which later displaced the automaton
rigidity then thought necessary in the
regular army.
After service in the Tennessee and
Mississippi campaigns, the regiment was
under orders to join the forces before
Vicksburg, where the seige was then in
progress. From their bivouac outside
Memphis the men for an entire day had
looked longingly upon the city and
planned numerous diversions therein,
none of which, however, was allowed to
occur. No leave was granted, and it was
not until twilight that orders were re-
ceived to march directly through the
town to the levee, where the transport
was waiting
The route lay through Little Ireland, Z"
the Confederate stronghold in Memphis,
where troops had been frequently stoned
in passing, and where no welcome could
be looked for. 1t was gloomy, narrow
way that led through it. The night was
pitch dark, and the street was imperfectly
lighted by occasional gas lamps. From
house to gutter the sidewalks were packed
with people-men, women and children
whose faces were darker than the
night, and whose attitude-hands behind
them-suggested that ever-ready brick.
Dislike, contempt, hatred were in every
face. Sullen silence was the only greet
ing.
Then the transformation. AT a signal
the flags were swung free, and at the
same moment the band struck up Garry
Owen" A gasp, cheer, roar followed,
and a moment later the mob was a
shouting, welcoming throng, some EN-
bracing the soldiers in the ranks, some
standing with barred heads and streaming
eyes as the green flag was marched past,
others calling down blessings on their
countrymen. Then there was a wild
rush back to their tenements, and then,
laden with food and liquor cheer, the
population of Little Ireland followed the
regiment to the levee, swept over the
lines that ought to have been established
around it, and succeeded in convincing
its members that "blood is thicker than
water"

TOM DREwRY FOR THE LEGISLATURE

AS will be seen by notice elsewhere in
this issue Thomas Drewry announces
himself as candidate for the Legislature
from the Eleventh and Twelfth wards,
subject to the action of the Democratic
primary, which is to be held June u.
Mr.. Drewry stands on free silver plat
form with Joe c. S. Blackburn for
Senator, the Endorsement of the Chicago
platform and William J. Bryan for Presi:
dent in 1900. Mr.. Drewry is a young
man, full of enterprise and energy, pos
sessing varied accomplishments, and
commenced active business in Louisville
a few years ago in newspaper work,
which he performed creditably, and in
this line displayed marked ability. Mr.
Drewry was a candidate for the Legislat-
ure in 1897 and was defeated, and made
125 speeches in Louisville and Jefferson
vile for Mr., Weaver and the entire DEM
ocratic ticket. After the election of Mr..
Weaver he was appointed to position
under the present city administration,
but soon resigned, because he would not
surrender his political principles to what
was then the policy of the city admins
tration. He is in sympathy with the
masses of the people who are making a
struggle for bread and opposed to the
Capitalization of wealth and power in the
hands of combines and trusts. Mr..
Drewry is the author of the free silver
platform upon which Mr.. Oscar Turner
was elected to Congress, and is member
of the Bandana Club. He is a gifted
orator and reasoner of marked ability.
If elected he will serve the people we'll
and faithfully.

BASE FRAUD.

During the past week numbers of
our citizens have been recipients
of typewriter circulars, mailed from
New York City, soliciting them to
enter into conspiracy for the purpose
of passing counterfeit one, five and ten
dollar bills. The circulars were accom-
panied with a cipher form of telegram to
be sent to James P. White, Allentown,
Pa, who would then make arrangements
for a meeting with the "oldest steel
plate engraver in the United States. {"
The fraud is so palpaple that we do not
believe any one in Louisville will be so
foolish as to do more than treat the ICON
fdential" document with the contempt
it deserves. Any other course will lead
to the penitentiary.
