St. Patrick's Day at the Exposition.

It is almost superfluous to speak Of
Bourke Cochran to the readers of The
Irish Standard. He is perhaps the
most eloquent Of living Irishmen and
his fame as an orator is worldwide.
Since his speech at the Democratic
national convention in Chicago in 1892
when he opposed the candidacy Of
Grover Cleveland for president of the
United States. Bourke Cockran's name
has stood prominently in the public
eye. In congress he crossed swords
with Thomas Bracket Reed in debate
and displayed astounding ability. At
Irish and Boer meetings he has fire.
quently charmed thousands by his un-
equaled flow of brilliant language in
behalf of England's victims of in
justice and wrong. His recent Boer
speech in Chicago at the Auditorium
has never been surpassed. Perhaps it
is his masterpiece. At the reception to
the Irish ENJOYS in the Academy Of
Music, New York, Burke Cochran pre-
sided and delivered the speech Of the
evening. In letter to a Dublin paper,
Joseph Devlin, M. P, says of him:
Il had heard and read much of this
famous orator; and I need only say
now that never yet did 1 hear a Drawer,
nobler, OF more truly eloquent Irish
man." This is the first time that
Bourke Cochran has come to Mime
apolis to address the exiles of Erin
nd their descendants. He comes 1900
miles at his own expense and without
one cent of compensation. His subject
is est. Patrick, the Original Architect of
Democratic Government" He is sure
of an audience that will fill the En-
position building to overlooking. He
lectures under the auspices of the
united English-speaking Catholic
churches of the city. The Irish Stand
ard in their name extends to him a
''caed mile failte.''
The musical part of the program
will be furnished by DAM Orchestra,
Maud Ulmer Jones and Mr.. Laird.
