The Boer mass meeting at the Pco-
pies church last Saturday evening was
most decided success in every way
The vast meeting house was packed

meeting OF the kind ever held i'll St.
Paul and was only straw to show
which way the wind blows.

A. o. H. NATIONAL OFFICERS
Issue an Address in Behalf of the Beers

Washington. Jan. 1.-The national OIL
ticcrs OF the Ancient Order OF Hibcrni-
ans met in this city to-day and later is
sued the following statement to the pub
lie:
The national officers met in Wash
ington to discuss a demand on the part
OF large majority OF the representa-
lives OF our 10000 members that the
order render some assistance to the
Beers in the Transvaal. 1t was agreed
to render any assistance compatible
with our loyalty as American citizens
and which would not interfere with the
neutrality laws OF the United States. We
are impressed with the splendid precc-
dent shown by the republic in going to
war with Spain to free Cuba from the
oppression OF that country. We believe
that American sympathy is with the
Beers and that we are acting i'll accord
with the principles which urged the
United States to carry the flag in a
struggle for the liberation OF the gal
liant Cubans Our people would flock
to the armies OF America if the gov
ernmcnt marched to the assistance OF
the South Africans. 1t is unnecessary
for the Hibcrnians to proclaim their
loyalty to the United States, but it be-
comes them to state that no act OF
theirs will be contrary to the laws.
Knowing the character OF the British
government, its cruelty, its ambition,
VIC arc DESTROYS to assist the citizens OF
sister republic in their struggle to
defeat English aggression. What kind
OF aid will be given we cannot state at
the present time, but certainly it will be
OF practical nature and acceptable to
the Bocr government. Were this ma
ton the antagonist OF England we could
from our ranks send fifteen to twenty
regiments OF the best fighting material
the world ever saw. In fact, i'll any just
cause in which the United States may
sec fit to draw the sword the society
would respond as it did in the former
wars. The Irish regiments OF Illinois,
Michigan, Massachusetts, and New
York were largely recruited from our
ranks, and in some OF the regiments OF
United States regulars recently sent to
the front are divisions Of the A. O. H.,
duly affiliated with the parent order in
this country. The order at large are
hopeful that the government will yet
rise to the wishes and hopes OF the
rish-Amcricans, and extend to the
brave Beers the sympathy France gave
to this country in 1916

And by my side delights to stay?
Nobody!
Who gets for Tic the easy chair
Spreads out the papers with such care,
And lays my slippers ready there?
Nobody!
When plunged in deep and dire distress
When anxious cares my heart Cypress,
Who whispers hopes of happiness?

When sickness comes and sorrow twain,
And GRIEF distracts my fcvercd brain,

Before another month has rolled around
probably the Sioux City Baseball club Of
the new Western league will be located
In this city.
A. B. Beall. one Of the owners of the
Sioux City club and franchise, who has
been III st. Paul endeavoring to secure
the lease Of Lexington park, stated before
he left for home yesterday that he was
well pleased with the outlook for Western
league ball in st. Paul, judging from
the results of the Twin City league sea-
son thus far.
The chief obstacle in the way is the
securing Of grounds for the Western
league club, Lexington park having been
leased already to local teams for part of
the summer. Mr.. Beall is very favor
ably impressed with Lexington park. as
a place in which to play, and if satisfac-
tory terms can be arrived at the Sioux
City club will be transplanted here with
in the next few weeks.
The support given the club at the Corn
Palace town has not been what was ex-
pected, although the club is in good
shape. The new Western league has
smaller salary limit than the American
and has consequently not in it's ranks
so many players of national renown as
the American, but it has some very prom
ising young blood, and the scores for the
season already show splendid records
Sioux City is well up in the first di-
vision.
