a Warm Contest for
Prizes.

The members of St. Cecilia's congrega-
ton will inaugurate grand bazar for
the benefit of their church on Monday
evening, April 1o. The different societies
of the church will have booths, and the
friendly rivalry that exists between them
on occasions like this will add materially
toward making the affair pleasant sue
cess.
The committee in charge have decided
to award a handsome prize to the society
turning ia the greatest amount Of money.
The societies have voted to give the prize
to the member returning the largest sum,
and the contest promises to be very in
teresting before the bell taps.
The Altar Society. Young Ladies' So
dality. Catholic Knights and Ladies of
America, St. Vincent de Paul and Mackin
Council are the entries for the prize.
The booths viii be presided over by a
number Of the prettiest and most popular

being used in a false sense, that
misrepresents all that they are en-
bIematic of, and must arouse the
resentment and indignation of every
true Irishman.
If the English Government really
appreciates the loyalty and services
of the Irish it should repay it in
something more than mere tinsel at
best, but in reality by insulting
Irish nationality. Not bill for the
benefit of Ireland, not a measure for
relief of the Irish people, not a
promise of reform in the govern
ment of Ireland, not a redress of a
single grievance, not a protest
against unjust regulations, not
petition for mitigation of oppressive
laws, has been as much as considered
by the Government in Parliament
though any or all of them could be
promptly passed did the Govern
ment but consent, which it would
readily do did it really appreciate
and feel grateful to the Irish, as it
processes.
On the contrary, despite all the
outward manifestations of respect
and gratitude for Ireland, wearing
of the green and waving her flag on
English Government buildings, her
representatives in Parliament are
ignored, their appeals for action on
Irish measures disregarded, and all
efforts toward enactment of any
thing for Ireland barred by arbitrary
rulings at the instigation of the
Government majority. The Irish
people are denied all Justice, relief,
reforms; their representatives are
uEheeded, derided, insultedUbut
the Queen, the lords, the cockneys
in London, the Irish soldiers in
South Africa, will wear the green
and the Irish flag will float on the
breeze over the Mansion House,
and all Ireland should feel honored |
and her people grateful and proud
of the respect shown them and their
natal day and their hearts go out in
unison of praise and benediction to
the good Queen, who in the fullness
of her graciousness has granted
them this mark of her grateful APP
probation.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

Well, here we are, St. Patrick's
day in the morning, and what do
you think of us? We leave you to
pass your judgment. We have en-
deavored to give you clean, re-
spectful, non-partisan organ, not
forgetting to defend you and your
cause and interests as occasion re-
quired. That Our efforts have been
appreciated is fully attested by an
increased subscription list and adj
vertising patronage. What benefit
or pleasure the paper has been to
you and yours is for you to say.
While we are grateful for the in
terest and assistance of friends in
the past and have striven to give a
good return therefor, we hope for
further approval in the way of in
creased subscription and patronage,
enabling us to add to the merits,
efficiency and size of the Kentucky
Irish American, till it becomes what
it ought to be, what we desire to
make it, and what the Irish people
deserve it should be-a first-class
journal, replete with all news OF
interest to them, defender of their
cause, an advocate in their behalf,
a pride and a Joy to all. We are
anxious to be able to do this-the
sooner the better-and if our friends
IRill do their part in seeending our
lll6rts, ns&l St. Patrick's day will
give to them paper far ahead of
the present issue in every detail
that will meet with their approval
and pleasure.

DUPLIcITY AND FLATTERY.


The great interest manifested in
the celebration of St. Patrick S day,
not only encouraging, but ordering
its observance by officials in South
Africa and England, with the profuse
fattery of the Irish people by the
British Government, is not only
hypocritical and ridiculous, but so
palpably affected and insincere as
to be contemplate and offensive to
the Irish people, who very properly
resent il.
The order that Irish soldiers in
the camps in South Africa should
wear the shamrock, and the visit of
the Queen to Ireland to show her
appreciation of the loyalty and valor
of her Irish subjects, finds fitting
elimination in the last order of
London's Lord Mayor that the Irish
flag be raised over the Mansion
House in that city on st. Patrick
day. No Irishman worthy of his
country regards this as an honor to
Ireland, but as a piece of hattery
and insult that presumes on their
credulity-really caricsture and
burlesque of them and their natal
day by those who have no respect
for it or sense of justice for them.
It is all done under pretense of
marked appreciation of the Govern
ment for the bravery of the Irish
troops in upholding British interests
in South Africa, directly contrary |
to the sentiment and yearning of the
Irish people, who have for the
British in that conflict neither SYM
pathy nor good wishes. Thus Ire
lands natal day and her emblems
are to be used as means of glori-
flying reverses to,the cause they ap-
prove and success to their oppressor
in its efforts to crush out the liberty
and national life Of brave people.
struggling for that for which Ireland
in centuries has suffered so much at
the hands of the same foe. Indeed, |,
the shamrock and Irish flag are not
honored by this, but desecrated by

When buying give them a call.
There are firms in this city who for
reasons of their own, not necessary
to state, can not be induced to
advertise in the Kentucky Irish

care for the patronage of our read

merit your custom, and as all of
them are such as we can commend

Mrs. Annie Reedy, which occurred Thurs
day at her residence ON West Chestnut
street, after long illness. She was the
widow of the late James Reedy, and was
known as a lady possessed Of many Chris
tian virtues. For many years she has
been devout member of the Cathedral
congregation. Mrs. Reedy Is survived
by her son, Hon. James P. Reedy, the
well-known attorney. Her loss is keenly
felt by large circle of relatives and ac-
quaintances. and many there are who
will miss her sincere and unostentatious
acts of charity. The funeral takes place
this morning from the Cathedral, with
solemn requiem mass for the repose of
her soul.

THEATRICALS.

The great novelty of the past season
was Isham's octoroons, comprising many
of the best singers, dancers and come
dams of the colored race. 1t scored one
of the greatest successes during all its
season and will be at the Avenue next
week, where the theater-going public
will find much to enjoy and great deal

of its kind, and to that end he introduces
nothing in act or song that could offend
the most fastidious.
The brilliant success of the production
of "Quo Vadis" at the Temple Theater
this week has induced Col. Meffert to
continue the great play next week. There
has been such demand for seats that it
is believed that the play can be put on
another week with equal favor No popu-
lar price production ever made here has
exceeded this one. The story is given a
presentation most worthy. and there is
every indication that the business will go
on record as the best in the history of the
stock company. The sale of seats for
next week is already large. There has
been no advance, despite the great cost Of
production.
VANITY Fair" will be at the Bucking-
ham next week. This company will
doubtless prove a great attraction to the
patrons of this theater, as it has had
many seasons of prosperity. AS usual
with this seasons output of burlesque at
fractions. there will be farce, grandly
costumed and scenic burlesque and an
olio comprising the stars of the vaude-
vile stage. The opening sketch will be
paris in 1900," and the closing bur-
lesque is a satire on that well-known
opera Rob Roy. This gives an OPP
portunity of splendid costuming very
engaging stage equipment. scenery eff
fects and big company of principals and
a chorus of bright young ladies, who will
adorn all the ensemble numbers. Vanity
Fair" will aim at refinement, both in
vaudeville and burlesque. The list of
artists is a very long one, comprising
many well-known performers, including
Katie Rooney, the charming and clever
daughter of the late Pat Rooney. The
company carry all their scenery, proper
ties and electrical effects in their own
special car.
