WEARING OF THE GREEN.

March II the green shamrock bios
SONS in Irish buttonholes and the
praises of the good ST. Patrick are on
every Irish lip. Perhaps, on the veldts
of south Africa thousands of Irish
soldiers will pin the bit of clover to
their khaki uniforms. In Chicago,
which is a greater Irish city than
Dublin itself, tens of thousands will
wear shamrocks, around the roots of
which still clings the soil of the green
little island. All over the world,
wherever Irishmen have made their

SERVICES IN IRISH TONGUE.

Perhaps the most interesting event
in honor of ST. Patrick's day, says the
London Chronicle, was the service in
Erse at the Church of the Most Holy
Trinity, Bermondsey, arranged by the
efforts of the Irish Gaelic League, last
year. The church is situated in dis
trict largely inhabited by Irish and
green ribbons and punches of sham
rock were to be seen on every side.
Some Irish guards strolling along
with shamrock in their caps 'by order
of the queen" were observed with a
good deal of interest. The service,
which took place in the evening, be-
gan with the recitation of the rosary
in Irish, and it was evident from the
responses that considerable number
of the crowded congregation were able
to speak and understand the language.
The usual Latin vespers followed, and
then hymn to st. Patrick in Irish
The words are modernized version
by Mr.. Thomas Flannery of a semi
metrical prayer found in very an
cient Gaelic manuscript in Trinity
college, Dublin.
Father Edward Murname then gave
a brief address in Irish, remarking
that, in his opinion. of all languages
it possessed the greatest likeness to
gold and precious gifts on the altar of
God. For the purpose of praising God
it was sweet and agreeable as the
choicest music, and was the language
in which ST. Patrick addressed the
great assembly of the men of Erin at
Tara and led them to the true faith
of Christ. Since the day when he ar
rived in Ireland as priest and bishop
the whole island had belonged entirely
to Christ, and the vale of tears had

SWEET SUGGESTIONS.

st. Patrick's day is announced in
the candy shops by many signs and
tokens of Erin's fair land, and by the
true ST. Patrick's green. Tiny bon
bon boxes bear on their covers small
green shamrocks or little white clay
pipes, touched off by a bit of green
ribbon. Candies are concealed in
quaint Irish "stovepipe" hats, which
have the shamrock leaf and clay pipe,
typical of a son of Erin, stuck in the
hatband. A pretty box for milady's
bonbons for EST. Patrick's day in the
morning" is made of green suede with
a graceful group of shamrock leaves
painted on the cover Another truly
typical box looks like a great, dewy
bunch of shamrock leaves. The clay
pipe with gay streamers of green rib
bons is in evidence, especially in the
large sizes, where its bowl contains
it's burden of sweets.

ST. PATRICK'S ACCOUNT OF HIM.
SELF

OEGTG
It is not known to many that the
first autobiography written in the
British islands is from the pen of st.
Patrick 1t is called his confession"
and from it is CLEANED most of the
authentic information which the world
possesses concerning the saint. 1t is
to be found in volume SO of the "Patro-
logia; or, Words Of the Fathers"
edited in 1847 by the Able Migne of
Paris.
This document is in Latin. The con-
struction is poor, and the recital lacks
proper connection, sequence and fin
ish. Patrick admits in it the literary
beginners fear of the critics, but dis
arms them by acknowledging that he
is unlearned. The whole narration is
a testimony to a series of special prov
licences, saving the writer from hard
ships and dangers.
He does not tell the date or the
country of his birth or the date of
his capture by the Irish, but it is gen
orally agreed that he was born in 387,
carried off into captivity about 403,
began his ministry in 432 and died on
March II, 465, at the age of seventy
eight. Tradition has it that his body
is buried in Downpatrick, in the Coun-
ty Down, Ireland, where
One grave three holy saints do fill,
Patrick, Bridget and Columbkille
The only writing of ST. Patrick in
existence besides the Confessions"
is the epistle to Coroticus. a British
chief, who protested to be Christian,
yet who carried off some of Patrick's
converts into captivity. 1t was a plea
for the restoration of the prisoners to
liberty 1t failed, and then Bishop Pat
rick hurled against Coroticus the thun-
derbolt of communication.

Probably because the distressful
country rejoices in the poetical name
of the emerald isle and because the
shamrock is green, too, that color will
for all time. But it should be re-
membered that the cross of st. Pat
rick, one of the most beautiful orders
Of Great Britain, is enameled in pale
blue, the motto Outs Separabit being
in gold letters on ground of sky
blue enamel, the ribbon of the order
also being of sky-blue. Each tiny leaf
of the shamrock bears an imperial
crown in gold, and the badge is pend
ant from an Irish harp. The collar is
very beautiful, consisting of six harps
and five enameled roses, connected by
gold knots.
The shamrock is universally worn
in the hats all over Ireland on ST.
Patrick's day. The popular notion is
that when the saint was preaching the
doctrine of the Trinity he. used this
plant-three leaves on one stem-to
illustrate the great mystery.
The reverence that still attaches to
the shamrock is evidenced by the
custom of the Irish people every
March in sending over by mail or
through friends, little boxes containing
the beloved plant to their relatives in
this country.
In searching old records very
curious coincidence, at least, came to
light regarding this flower In Arabic
the trefoil or clover is called sham
rakh and was held sacred in Iran as
emblematical of the Persian Triads.
Pliny says that serpents were never
seen upon this plant, and it prevails
against the stings of snakes and scOr-
pions. This statement, taken in con-
nection with the legendary feat of
Punishment by ST. Patrick, is some
what remarkable, to say the least.
In the rural districts the pipers
and harpers are out in full force, the
strains Of St. Patrick's Day in the
Morning mingling tremendously with
the cries from the old women. BUY
my shamrocks, green shamrocks.'
Nor must the Shlllelan, which pune
tuates and emphasizes the festivities
in most impressive fashion, be for
gotten.
ST. Patrick's day is celebrated with
great rejoicing by the sons of Erin
everywhere, but in Dublin, the CAPT
tai of the Emerald Isle, the JOY is
extreme. By daybreak every steeple
is gay with flags, and the bells peal
forth necessarily until night. The
rich bestow aims upon the poor, and
the poor call down blessings on the
rich. In the great castle the Lord
Lieutenant gives the annual ball and
supper, and in every home, no matter
how modest, the enthusiasm is all that
a warm-hearted affectionate people
can possibly express.

Hail to St. Patrick!
g.

the highest aspirations of his patrio-
tism. 1t is day of sentiment and of
devotion.
Among the peoples of modern times
the Irish alone possess a national saint
in any real sense. England's st.
George was as far as possible from
being an Englishman, and the celebra-
ton of his day, even in England is a
perfunctory and formal observance.
But to the Irishman, wherever he may
be. st. Patrick is still the guardian
angel of his island, and Ireland with
out st. Patrick would be desert in
deed.

Falls Into a Well and clings to Pipe
Until Rescued

Eibition of nerve, remarkable in child
SO young, Willie Mitthauer, the 2-year-
old son of August Mitthauer, a farmer
of this place, was saved from drowning
in well in his fathers barn yesterday.
The we'll is twenty feet deep, with five
or six feet of water at the bottom. A
service pipe runs down one side.
Usually the well is covered by trap
door. as it is in a dark corner. Yester-
day afternoon a plumber repaired the
service pipe and neglected to close the
trap. Willie fell in while chasing chick
ems. An hour later Frank +. Bedell, the
boys uncle, was passing thru the barn
and heard splashing in the we'll. He
called down and the boy answered. Mr.
Redell called to a neighbor who was
passing, and, fastening a rope around
his waist and lighting the barn lantern,
was let down by the neighbor.
Bedell found Willie lying on his back
in the water, clutching the service pipe.
a doctor who was summoned said the
boy would probably die. But he didn't.
Today he was out playing again.
Enough candy and cake have bent sent
him to give him indigestion for the rest

DENIED BY DEPARTMENT.
No Proof to Justify German Embassy
Investigation.

Investigation.
Washington, March 1.-THE persist
ent report first circulated in Wall
street yesterday that Mr.. Won Holle-
ben, the German ambassador to the
United States, was persona non grata
to this government is attributed here
to allegations of Emil White, formerly
an unofficial attache of the German
embassy.
Mr. Witte came to Washington soon
after the Spanish American war, when
there was a great deal of talk in the
newspapers about friction between
Germany and the United States. 1t
was understood that his position with
the embassy was that of press agent.
his duties being principally to correct
statements in the American press
tending to show the existence of bad
feeling between Germany and this
country. and to furnish other informa
ton to American newspapers from the
standpoint of the embassy.
About two years ago Mr.. White was
discharged by Ambassador Won Holle-
pen. He went abroad. and last winter
came back to New York. Mr. WHITE
wrote to the state department. charging
that Won Holleben had pursued him in
Germany thru agents, and had sue
ceeded in breaking up the business in
which he was engaged. 1t is under
stood that he alleged that Won Holleben
was an enemy of the United States,
and that he was seeking to influence
German American citizens against this
government. 1t is said. altho the state
ment can not be officially substan-
tiated, that he charged that the Ger
man ambassador had made an arrange
ment with former congressman to stir
up feeling among German Americans
against the federal administration.
