fatherland. The entire congregation
took the greatest interest in the United
Irish League, and the throng of people
who waited to hear the objects of the
national organization explained at the
chapel after mass was the best evil
dence of the hold it has upon the peo-
pie Of Tyrconnell. On the motion Of

mittee, having brought it's labors to
satisfactory conclusion, presented a
check for $4,000 to Mr.. Sullivan on

upon the Irish people the response to
the appeal for the veteran Nationalist
and journalist was generous, indeed.
Yet it is in fact less than he deserves.

GALWAY.
The beautiful new banners Of the
Association Of the Sacred Heart, at
the Pro-Cathedral of St. Nicholas,
were lately blessed by Most Rev. DR..
MacCormack, bishop of Galway. There
was a crowded congregation at the
mass celebrated by the bishop, and
the members of the male branch of
the society assembled in full force,
being their communion day. The
bishop, in blessing the new banners,
said the words of the church as pre-
scribed for use in the ceremonial on
such occasions, are words of warfare.
The banners are given to them as SOL
diers Of Christ, and they were to carry
them with the same courage and the
same determination that was expected
from soldiers. They were engaged in
perpetual warfare with sin and the
devil and their weapons were prayer
and the sacraments.
KERRY.

Dereen; John Duggan, Readrinagh,
