MOONLIGHT EXCURSION
Large Crowd Will Accompany
the Irish-AmeriCan SoCi-
ETY. Friday Night.

The moonlight excursion up the Ohio
river Friday evening, under the auspices
of the Irish-American Society, promises
to be one of the most enjoyable of the
season. The gentlemen having the affair
in charge will leave nothing undone in
the way of providing entertainment for
the excursionists.
Large numbers of tickets have been
disposed of and several young ladies will
be presented with prize wheels. That it
will prove a social and financial success
there is no doubt, and we would advise
all who wish to spend pleasant evening
to take advantage of this opportunity.
Those wishing tickets can procure them
at this office.
The young ladies contesting for prizes
will make their returns Thursday even
ing. The winners will be announced IN
our next issue.

KNIGHTS FOR BOSTON.
A Large Crowd Enjoys the
Trip to the Kentucky
River.

The excursion to Madison and the
Kentucky river last Sunday under the
auspices of Company A, Hibernian
Knights, was as enjoyable a one as will
leave the city this season. The boat was
crowded to its fullest capacity and several
hundred dollars were realized. This
money will be added to fund which is
being raised to defray the expenses of
the trip of the company to the national
convention to be held in Boston next
year. Company A is anxious to make a
showing upon that occasion that will re-
fleet credit upon Louisville and Ken
lucky, and the assistance of our citizens
should be given them in their laudable
purpose.
There was nothing left undone to add
to the pleasure of the occasion, and each
Knight had duties to perform. Many
were heard to express the hope that the
company would give another during the
summer. Where each member contrib
uted so much to its success 1t would be
unjust to select any for particular men,

ception, and his friends in this city are
taking deep interest in the work of his
new mission, which bids fair to accom-
plish much toward its advancement.
The programme consists of two parts,
"1nvited to Tea" a one-act comedy, and
"Clouds and Sunshine, a drama in three
acts and FIVE scenes. Ned Risley and
Edward Howard will assume the leading
roles in the former. The cast will also
include such well-known amateurs as
Misses Lillian Kirley, Gertrude Herbold,
Margaret Lardner, Elizabeth O'Brien,
Blanche Bronnert, and Sdessrs. Martin
Fitzgibbons, Henry Newman, James KEN
nedy, Joseph Doerhoefer, Geo. McCrann,
Henry Graess, Will Hutti and Frank
Baker.
Mr.. Fitzgibbons, who will play the role
of the villain in CLOUDS and Sunshine, "
is young man who has gained quite
reputation as an actor, and success seems
sure to follow him in his chosen pro-
fession

EUCHRE AND DANCE.

The members of st. Cecilia's Branch
No. 5, c. K. and L. of A., will give pro-
gressive eucbre and dance on Thursday
evening, June 8, at Fountain Ferry Park.
The euchre will commence promptly at
$50 and continue until 1920, followed by
a dance for the enjoyment of those who
wish to "trip the light fantasies" An
admission of twenty-five cents will be
charged, which will allow you to partici-
pate in both euchre and dance. The
ladies and gentlemen comprising this
division are enterprising CLUSTERS, as
has been proven often in the past, and
certainly deserve any patronage which
may be shown them. Now let's get to-
gether and swell the attendance nexI
Thursday night and show them that we
appreciate their enterprise.

FATHER MESSING.
Young Folks Will Give a Per-
Torrance to Assist
Him.

A most enjoyable performance was
given last Sunday evening at st. Peters
Hall, Seventeenth and Southgate streets,
for the benefit of the German Catholic
church at St. Matthews, of which Rev.
Father Messing is pastor, A large and
enthusiastic audience filled the spacious
hall and snug little sum was realized.
Many out-of-town people and friends of
Rev. Messing were unable to attend and
requested another performance, which
will be given at the same place tomorrow
evening.
Father Messing was formerly assistant
at the Church of the Immaculate Con-

GARRISON FOR COUNCILMAN.

Mr.. James w. Garrison, who is can
d:date for Councilman from the Fifth
ward, subject to the action of the Demo
cratic primary is one of the most promi-
nent of the younger members of the Lou
isville bar. He mas never before offered
for public Office, although he is eminently
qualified to make capable and conscien-
tious public servant. By reaeon OF his
varied experience in the practice of law
during the past ten years he has attained
wide popularity among all classes OF
business and laboring men in the city.
Mr.. Garrison is young and energetic,
public-spirited and progressive, and his
friends are confident that he will advo-
cate measures of general interest to the

COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
Our State and Local Business
Interests Wisely Con-
sidered.

The second annual State commercial
convention concluded its business for this
year Tuesday afternoon, followed by a
reception at the Gait House at night, and
was the finish of meeting that should
certainly have its force on the CONNER
cial development of the Commonwealth.
The resolutions adopted must be re-
garded with respect and consideration all
over the State, as they treat on subjects
of great Importance, not only to the mer-
chant, manufacturer, farmer and profes-
sional man, but to every citizen OF the
State as we'll, inasmuch as they relate to
the present oppressive system OF taxa
ton, the question of good roads, the
question of fair play for Kentucky prod
ucts in Kentucky, and others equally as
important.
Hon. Edward J. McDermott was one
of the speakers. and his address was pro
nounced one of the finest heard in the
convention.

city, and in the event of his election to
the General Council feel that he may be
relied upon to support no class or clique
legislation which might prove detri-
mental to the best interests of the city.
Mr.. Garrison is a member of several
secret societies and has large personal
following. His law offices are at 3l7
Fifth street, and he has been a resident OF
the Fifth ward for the past ten years. In
becoming a candidate for Councilman
Mr.. Garrison has been prompted only by
the best motives and through an earnest
desire to serve his constituents and the
city at large. He has pushed his canvass
theoretically in the hope that his candi-
dacy may meet the approval of the Dem
ocrats OF the city, and it is a foregone
conclusion that he will receive a high
popular vote.

Company for many years, and his father

Fourth ward, where he has hosts of
friends, who will flock to his standard at
the coming November election No bet
ter selection could possibly be made for

and stands squarely Gil the Chicago plat

the Willard, where he was head clerk for
twelve years. At the present time he
conducts the cigar trade at the Louisville

Mr.. Sullivan is a member of the Irish
American and other fraternal societies,
being one of the grand officers of the Y.
Nj. l. for the Southern States He is
married and has all interesting family,
his residence being OH Rubel avenue.
That his nomination would add strength
to the ticket there is no doubt, and his
election would insure the city an efficient
and honest member of the Council.

for twenty years. 1t is said that man
who can properly conduct his own private
affairs can also manage public business in
the same way. Mr.. Shulhafer has never
been in politics and has never taken any
part whatever in bitter political contro-
versies. In the plumbing business he
controls line of first-class work in all
parts of the city. and in his work he has
employed skilled union labor and has
paid good salaries for work. In this re-
spect, as we'll as in all others, he has been
the staunch friend of the laboring classes.
The people are asking for practical bust
ness men to represent them in the
Council and here is a chance. Mr.. Shul-
hafer has the strong Endorsement OF the
labor unions of the city.

Mr.. Barney Campbell, has hosts of friends
in all parts of the city. He is young
man of good business ability, being one
of the firm of B. Campbell & Sons, and a
vote cast for him will assist in giving
Louisville a Councilman whose integrity
and purpose are surpassed by none. The
young men of the city should give him
their hearty support.
