WASHINGTON ENTERTAINED by THE
FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK.
In a letter accepting the medal Wash
ington paid the Friendly Sons compli-
ment which has been treasured in the
memories of the society. Said he:
Il accept with singular pleasure the
ensign of so worthy Il fraternity as that
of the Sons of st. Patrick in this city,
society distinguished for the firm ad-
hcrcnce of its members to the glorious
cause in which we are embarked"
On Jan. l, 1882, soon after this Incl
dent of the medal presentation, Wash
ington was entertained at a dinner Civ
IN by the society in Philadelphia. The
most distinguished generals of the al
lied armies of America and France
were present; also the foreign minis
ters then at the American capital.

Friendly Sons of st. Patrick i'll
the Revolution, when it raised
fund Of f103,JO for the Suf-
fcring patriot army, does no more cred
it to the hearts Of its members than
does the enrolment of George Wash
ngton as Il member shed luStcr on
their wit.
There was a difficulty in the way OF
admitting General Washington which
many who read of it now will declare
inSurmOuntablc.
An active member had to be of Irish
birth or descent, the number of honor
airy members was limited by the CON
StitutiOn to ten, and the ten places
were filled. And George Washington
had not Irish blood in his veins either
through paternal or maternal lines of
descent
There was the puzzle. 1t was highly
desirable to have him as a member, and
he greatly desired membership. Yet
how could it be done?
The Friendly Sons reasoned it out
this way: We cannot elect him, that
though not born in America and al
though we were not elected Americans.
We are adopted Americans, with all
the rights of Americans, just as adopt
cd children have full family rights.
Now, We'll adopt General Washington
and make an Irishman and Il Friendly
Son of him at the same time"
And that is exactly what they did
The Society of Friendly Sons of st.
Patrick was organized at Burns tav-
crn. Philadelphia, in I'LL. The object
was purely social. Among its MEM
bcrs during and after the Revolutions
airy period besides Washington were
many earnest patriots, notably Robert
Morris, General Henry Knox, General
Anthony Wayne and Captain John
Barry the first commander of the
| American navy.
Washington was the first honorary
member of the society, and General w.
II. Sherman had the distinction of be-
ing the last recipient of the honor ut
the time of his death. The election of
| Theodore Roosevelt to honorary mcm-
bership. recently, gives him a unique
position as the second president who
has accepted the honor. The society
presented its distinguished adopted son,
George Washington, with gold medal.

rough, weather beaten bOwder of
granite, weighing about seven tons,
from the mountain side of Sli evc-na-.
Largie. where it rested ut a height of

fully reproduced from one cut on an
equally rough, unhcwn stone found on
the island of lnisclothran, one of the
islands of LCugh Rec, where st. Diar.

name "Patrc" is cut in Irish charac,
