trusted counsellor of James Stephens in
the Fenian movement. No man, with the
exception of John O'Leary, ever by MS

II canont portray at Thomas Clarke
Lubys grave what l feel should be said
about q man loved and honored for
forty years. looked UP to him for counsel
and his kindness tome Twill never forget
His life is an example worthy of imita-
ton by the rising generation. His was
life Of long sacrifice and personal abro-
cation. The man who looks only for per-
sonal advancement may rise, but leaves
no mark in history 1t is the man who
forgets himself, It's the men like Tone,
Emmet and Luby that make history. If
you young men will initiate them you
viii do more for the advance of your race
than anything else. (Applause.)
my friends said Mr.. Dewey, after a
pause, I'VE pay tribute of honor and es-
TEEN to the noble woman who stood by
his side, who rallied the forces while he
was absent from us and did more to add
to the cause than any ten men could.
Not alone did Thomas Clarke Luby earn
the gratitude of the Irish people, but Mrs
Luby did equally so, and I hope when Ire
land Is free and independent nation,
grateful race will place wreath on the
place where Luby and his wife forever
rest in an Irish grave, their memories
ha.lowed by those living between the four
seas of Ireland"
Mr.. Devoy closed here and slowly kne.t

and himself He assured the Brother
hood that the same principles which ac-
tuated his father during his career re-
mained with him until death. His father
no said, was compulsory exile, not dis
,oya! to the country of his adoption, but
having only room in his heart for one
country and that he thought was the
most beautiful place on earth, and his
favorite prayer his shibboleth, was God

and revered his memory. All Mr.. Luby's
endeayors, he said, were for Irish free
dom, and his name and memory would
ever be green in Irish hearts. He aided
in the work against tyranny. Soon said

Thomas Clarke Luby would rest with his
forefathers
Mr.. Augustine E. Costello was the last
speaker.
Il came, he said in part, ITO know Mr..
Luby while he was struggling for Ire
lands freedom. He was a simple, grand
man, inspired with poetry and possessing
great force of character. He was a man
of talent and one of the great galaxy of
Irish genius, whose deeds surprised the
world. He has taught US a lesson which
we shall never forget Men of the 1 r. B.
it is well that you were here today.
Never have you paid tribute to a gallant
knight whose ashes should be more hon
ored than those of Thomas Clarke Luby.
His memory will live when multi-million-
aires are dead and are forgotten He was
gifted historian, poet and journalist.
and may God give us the light of reveal
tion to inspire the hearts of men to liberty
