LECTURE ON ST. PATRICK BY
FATHER MURPHY.

| Correspondence Intermountain Catholic,
Green River, March 2S.-The pictur-
esque twon Of Green River, nesting in
the bosom of the Rockies, celebrated
this year with more than usual solem-
nifty the feast of Ireland's great apostle.
At 1920 a. m. Rev. Father Delahanty,
the pastor, sang high mass. At s
O'Clock in the evening a very large
and enthusiastic audience, composed of
Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Cen
tile, heard with great pleasure and
profit lecture on ST. Patrick and the
Emerald Isle by the Rev. Father Muir
ply of All Hallows college, Salt Lake
City. In the opening of his lecture.
Father Murphy stated that in his opin-
ion the greatest injustice inflicted by
the English on the Irish race was the
persistent efforts to keep the Irish in
ignorance, and thereby unacquainted
with the glories of ancient Erin: but
that the English, with their cruelty
and oppression, were unable to eradi-
cate the intellectual craving of '.an
imaginative, ardent and poetic race,
dwelling in the loveliest of islands
where the blended beauties of noun
tain and stream hill and valley, lake
and dell, We're eloquent-With a thou
SAND voices whispering sweetly of
Elysian fields
Wnere souls are free, and where tyrants
ta1ht not natures bliss"
He then dwelt at considerable length

dress, recounting the many brave deeds
and heroic conduct of this gallant sol

then proceeded to the Catholic ceme-

held. The funeral was one of the larg-
est ever seen in Bozeman, and was a

The Daughters of Erin Entertain
The grand musical and literary enter
tainment given under the auspices OF
the Daughters of Erin in the afternoon
at Hibernian hall was an event in every
way worthy of the national celebration,
and of the high standard of excellence
which these ladies have ever MAIN
! tanned in their entertainments.
] The affair was more in the nature of a
social reunion for the members, and in
connection with the days celebration il
was gratifying to notice that a most
refreshing Celtic spirit enlivened the
whole of the proceedings. a very att
tractiVe programme was presented, and
the Irish music, songs, recitations and
dances were very much appreciated by
those present, and indeed some of arr
tistic talent displayed might well have
graced a more pretentious assembly
The beauties and grace of Irish step
dancing were done full justice to, and
the exhibitions in that line were ac-
corded a well deserved ovation.
The following programme was rem
dered:

The Door Remained Open After q
Very Forcible Argument.
An old story is told Of Joseph Robi-
doux, the founder Of st. Joseph, that
had its origin in Holt county in the
early settlement of that section. The
trader who started the city was re-
turning to st. Joseph with a number Of
red men, and they stopped with an ac-
quaintance Of Robidoux's close to
the house, and Robidoux went in to re-
main overnight as the guest of his
friend.
The settler closed the front door aft
er they had retired, and Robidoux, who
was used to sleeping in the open air,
went softly to it and opened it. The
owner Of the house waited until Robi-
doux was in bed again, and the settler
closed it. That was repeated a dozen
times. "The next time that door is
closed there will be trouble" said the
man who had founded st. Joseph. He
resumed his couch with that.
The owner Of the house closed the
door, and Robidoux met him as he was
returning to his bed. They clinched
and fought by the light Of the moon,
that came in through the window. 1t
was a hard fight and lasted a long
time, but at last Robidoux had the set
tier on his back and sat 'astridc of him.
He tangled his hands in his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheon
floor. "ODen or shut?" he aSkedS Tho
settler struggled. but did not say a
word. His head was bumped many
times, and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head was bumped again, and Ro-
bidoux asked, "Open or shut?"
"Open," answered the settler, and
they went to bed with the door stand
ing wide open, admitting the fresh air.

The Ira r. Hicks 1901 AImanac.

Whatever may be said of the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. Ira X. Hicks
bases his yearly forecasts of storm and
weather, it is a remarkable fact that
specific warnings of every great storm,
flood. cold wave and drouth, have been
plainly printed in his now famous AL
manae for many years. The latest start
ling proof Of this fact was the destruc-
ton of Galveston, Texas, on the very day
named by Prot. Hicks in his 1900 Al
manac. as one OF disaster by torn along
the gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the finest, most complete and beauti-
full vet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of nearly 7oo pages,
s%plendidly illustrated with charts and
half-tone e%ngravings, goes as a pre-
MUM to every subscriber who pays one
dollar a year for Prof. Hicks journal,

The criminal action brought by w. 7.
Denniston against certain Billings county
parties was taken up before Justice Gil
bert at Sentinel Butte on Nov. "a, and
was dismissed on the grounds that the
complaint did not state facts sufficient to
constitute a public offense. The case
was instigated during the heat of the fall
campaign and was an unfortunate affair
all round, as the defendants were put to
considerable expense and the expense
incurred against the county will be no
small amount.
Auditor Ed. S. Foley of Billings and
Auditor T. A. Schneider of Mercer met

shows that Simpson received 866 votes

total of 1857 votes. Whites vote in
Stark-3I6, in Billings 40, in Mercer, ST.,
a total of AIS votes. McClure's vote in

ARMORED COFFlNS.
They We're Once Used In q Church,

yard In Scotland.
In the earlier half of the nineteenth
century the practice of stealing bodies
from the churchyards for the purpose
Of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known as "body %snatching," was
for a time very rife.
Various plans were made to defeat
the nefarious and s%acrilegious proceed
ings Of the "body snatchers," or "resur-
r%ectionists," as they were sometimes
called, a very common one being the
erection Of two or more small watch
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burying ground, snd in
which the friends Of the deceased
mounted guar4 for q number Of nights
after the funeral.
A usual method Of the grave robbers
was to dig down to the head Of the
coffin and bore in it a large round hole
by means of a specially constructed
center bit. 1t was to counteract this
maneuver that the two curious coffin
like relics now lying on either side of
the door of the ruined church Of Aber-
foyle, in Perthshire, were constructed.
They are solid masses Of cast iron of
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one of
these massive slabs was lowered by
suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top Of the coffin, the grave
was filed in, and there it was left for
some considerable time. Later on the
grave was opened and the iron armor
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contrivances still lie on the
grass Of the lonely little churchyard,
objects Of curiosity to the passing cy-
clist. and tourfpt@Scientifc American.

The ball given by Co. K Tbanksgiv-
ing evening was a decided success both
socially snd financially, and that the
boys excelled all former efforts in their
endeavors to entertain their friends was
fully demonstrated by the manner in
which every detail was carried out. Cap
tain Skeen led the grand march, assisted
by Miss Fay Pearl, and were followed by
the militia in uniform and their friends.
A very nice midnight supper was served
at the St. Charles hotel, showing careful
preparation, and did credit to this al.
ready popular hosiery. Music was
furnished by the Davis orchestra.
