Great Sport.

The various committees appointed to
make arrangements for the Irish field
day at Fern Grove under the auspices of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians are
making rapid progress. Wednesday night
the Executive Committee met with John
Hennessy, President of Division 4, in the
chair. Reports were received aud the
number Of entries announced for the
games was very encouraging and assures
success.
Resolutions were adopted providing for
suitable prizes for the various contests,
entry blanks for which can be obtained
from Thomas Dolan, Chairman of the
committee on games. Patrick Sullivan
has charge of the prizes, and George But
Ter and the Treasurers will look after the
finances. The advertising and printing
will be under the supervision of Will
Meehan, and already handsome banners
are displayed at many points in the city.
Tickets are being distributed and next
week the sale will begin.
A base ball game will be feature. the
boys from Limerick being ready. we
understand, to compete with any nine
that may be willing to meet them. The
games will consist of running races,
Jumping, potato races, throwing the
hammer, putting the shot, races for boys
and girls, etc. Already this field day is
more talked sbout than any coming
event, which insures an immense gather

so there will be music on all the boats
and on the grounds.

was near. His good constitution and
brave heart caused all his friends to feel
that he would soon be up and about
again, but the grim reaper was watching
guard unseen and unsuspected up to a
week ago, when his condition was felt to
be dangerous. Now that he has crossed
to the other side the deep friendship in-
spired by this most natural and generous
man has given rise to expressions of
praise and admiration for his royal good
nature, and grief at his early taking
away. One of a noble band of five
brothers, his rise to affluence was mark
of his ability. Thoughtful and courteous
toward his employees, his distinctive trait
made him loved by all who worked for
him. Genial and clever, his associates
welcomed him among them; far seeing
and provident. his family was uppermost
in his mind, but not to the exclusion of
either relatives or friends. The ties of
blood and kindred run like pure, spark
ling stream through the whole Doer-
hoefer family even to the remotest kim
ship, and there was no stoppage in its
crystal flow in the large nature of the
dead brother. His funeral, which took
place from the Sacred Heart church, bore
testimony to his worth in the community
and the love in which he was held during
life. The sorrow manifested was real
every one present had lost friend and
the church was poorer in the loss of
good son. To his father, who survives
him, his wife and children, brothers and
relatives is the comforting assurance
given that Mother Church has enfolded
him in her loving embrace, and that he
awaits them in the glorious dawn of the
resurrection.
The church was crowded with those
who had come to pay their last tribute of
respect long before the arrival of the
mourning funeral cortege. The remains
were met at the main entrance by Rev.
Patrick Walsh, celebrant of the solemn
high mass of requiem, and borne to the
altar railing by the pall-bearers. Messrs.
Daniel Murphy, Albert Freville, Edward
Coggeshall, Hon. Joe 7. O'Neal. Col.
John H. Whallen, John Dignau, Sanford
Vaughan and Mike ]. Duffy. Rev. Chas.
P. Ratio and Rev. Bernard Cunningham,
both warm personal friends of Mr.. Doer-
hoefer, were the assistant priests. Rev.
Father Walsh pronounced an eloquent
and feeling eulogy over the remains Of
their departed friend, and during his dis
course there was scarce dry eye in the
church.

lucky Irish American visited Jefferson
vile last Tuesday night and were pres
ent at largely attended and interesting
meeting of Division / of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians. They were given
a cordial reception by President Gleason,
Secretaries Hogan and Dewitt and Treas
urer Michael Kinney.
The semi-annual reports showed a
handsome net increase in the finances Of
the division, now the richest and most
powerful fraternal society in Jefferson
vile. The amount paid for sick and
relief benefits was also large, but at
the present time John Ryan was the only
member on the sick list. Appropria-
tion was made for the expenses of Will
Riley, who will again be delegate to the
State convention next month. By unan-
imous vote it was decided to hold the
next election of officers on the night OF
the last meeting in September.
President Gleason introduced County
Secretary Meehan, who made short but
very interesting address, containing sew
eral timely suggestions and a compli-
ment to those who were present. He
closed by extending cordial invitation
to all to participate IN the outing and
Irish field day to be given by his Louis
vile brethren, which was accepted, with
the assurance that Jacksonville would
be we'll represented and might capture
many prizes.
The matter of greatest interest, how
ever, was the report of the committee
having in charge the celebration of the
fifteenth anniversary of the Jacksonville
division. Chairman John Ryan, Music
Director Louis Constantine, John Dewitt.
Dan McCarty and J. B. Murphy, Jr.,
reported that they had engaged Forest
Park for Monday night, July 28, and
had secured the Louisville Union Mill
tary Band for the occasion. All that was
possible was being done to make the
celebration success, aud the programme
when completed would surpass any ever
seen in Jacksonville. A great surprise
will be prepared for the Irish of the
three Falls Cities, thousands of whom
are expected to attend.
After the adjournment of the meeting
the visitors were taken in charge by
Couty Treasurer Barney Coll, Police
Commissioner Murphy, Redmond Stan
ton. Michael Fogarty and several others,
who had arranged for them pleasant
surprise in the way of an informal recep-
ton, Adam Liebel having prepared a
nice luncheon, after which an hour was
devoted to storytelling and merry-mak-
ing. The affair was enjoyable indeed
and will long be remembered.

be resorted to by them in the accomplish
ment of their work. "
"With what success and encourage
ment has the federation met since its be-
ginning1"
"It began last December in Cincinnati
with the State federation of Ohio, but
since then it has established federations
in thirteen States, as follows: Ohio,
Kentucky, New Jersey, Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Vermont, Wisconsin. Alabama.
Massachusetts,, New York, Illinois, Kan
sas and Minnesota, all of which have ap-
pointed delegates to attend the conven.
tion to be held in Chicago next month.
These delegates will represent over a
million Catholics. II has met with de-
cided encouragement at the hands of
many of the most eminent ecclesiastical
dignitaries of the country, including such
men as Bishop Messmer and Bishop Nc
Faul, who in and out of season are untir-
ing in their efforts to upbuild it and give
it the commanding influence and power
which 1t can easily attain If the Catholic
laity of the country and the Catholic
societies at large render it proper in
fiuence and support and unite with it.
In union there is strength is an old
adage but true one, and applies with
especial force to the great good that can
be accomplished by the federation, pro-
vided its work is carried on with proper
energy, ability and perseverance"
"As a matter of fact, do you think the
Catholic laity of this country could rem
der the cause of religion much actual and
practical assistance by taking an active
part in its affairsl"
81 most certainly do, and In this opin-
ion l am firmly supported by the judg-
ment of eminent clergymen such as
Father ]. M. Fleming. o. S. A., of Law
renee. Mass, who ascribes much of the
lethargy shown in our religious welfare
to the lack of interest manifested by our
Catholic laymen. He says that if they
were so determined and prompted by
proper zeal they could render the church
incalculable aid by opposing the goddess
education which is at present breeding
infdelity, irreligion and social evils
throughout the land. These evils, like
coming events. cast their baleful shadows
before them and threaten to blight the
splendid future Of our republic. The
priest can do much, but he can not do
everything, and his counsel, to become
effective, must be reduced to action by
the rank and file of the church militant
that is under his guidance and command,
A General can not overcome the enemy
without the assistance of his army, but
with the combined efforts of both won
ders can be accomplished and victory
secured"
Since the foregoing was written we
learn that Messrs. Frank Menne and
Walter P. Lincoln have been selected to
represent the Louisville Council of the
Knights of Columbus. Edward Smith will
be Mackin Councils delegate, and Satolli
Council has decided to send John ].
Crotty. They are all men of education
aud ability and will give Louisville a
splendid representation.

HONOR PATRON SAINT.
st. Vincent de Paul Societies
at Church of Our
Lady.

The feast of St. Vincent de Paul will
be observed tomorrow morning at the
Church of Our Lady in Portland with
impressive services conducted by the
beloved and Jealous pastor. Rev. Father
Commit. The conferences of all the
parishes in the city will meet there to
celebrate an important event, their an
nual visit to the sacrament Of holy COM
munion. A happy coincidence is the
fact that this is also the communion Sun
day of the St. Aloysius Sodality, a So
ciety founded by Father Commit, whose
advancement and growth he watches
with great care. The mass will begin at
1880 O'Clock, and if all the members at
tend it will be the largest gathering of
Catholic men witnessed in Portland for
years. Father Conniff will also preach
the sermon, and as he is most gifted as
we'll as pointed pulpit orator, an intel
lectual treat awaits those who hear him.
The generous hearted pastor and men,
bers of the congregation have made
arrangements for serving coffee and
light collation. for the members of the
St. Vincent de Paul Society and the St.
Aloysius Sodality Immediately after the
mass.
The st. Vincent de Paul Society does
work worthy of attention. Through its
efforts hundreds of deserving poor are
relieved when found In want or sickness,
and SO quietly is this done that but few
know anything of their many charitable
acts. Our Catholic men should give this
society more of their attention and in
crease its membership by thousands,
thereby bringing upon themselves mani
fold blessings.

two, who will cooperate with Dr.. w.

The credentials should all be returned to

For the purpose of making such
changes in the constitution as may be
deemed most satisfactory to all national
bodies the Executive and Advisory Boards
Of the Federation will meet in Chicago
several days before the convention to

Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights of

issued by Bishops McFaul and Messmer

not. to send delegates.
Among those who have given much
thought to this great movement among
the Catholics of this country is Thomas
Walsh. the we'll known lawyer and poet,
with whom the representative of the
Kentucky Irish American this week had
the following interview, which will prove
interesting to our many readers:
"What do you think of the American
Federation of Catholic societies. the con-
vention of which is to be held in Chicago
on August 5, 6 and ~
THAT is rather a comprehensive ques-
ton, and one to which a reply in full
would require an extensive answer. In
the main, however, can say that in my
humble judgment it is the best move that
has ever been inaugurated in our land for
promotion of unity. fraternity and good
feeling among the Catholic societies of
this country. It will tend to do away
with every trace of racial or sectional
feeling which may have heretofore ex-
listed. and it will make all the societies
take common interest in the common
cause of Catholic affairs, educational and
otherwise, and likewise take an interest
in the welfare of each other. In addition
thereto it will also tend to bring the
Catholic clergy and laity into closer
union with each other, and this always
produces beneficial effect
"what. in your opinion, are the main
purposes and objects Of the federationP
"If understand il rightly, the fedora
tion seeks to protect and promote within
its proper sphere the interests of the
church at large in this country, and to
this end it shall aim to use its influence
against any legislation, local or national,
which may be attempted inimical to the
Just rights and welfare Of the church, or
prejudicial to its interests or too sectarian
in character. 1t may also be possible at
times through its proper representatives
to secure enlightened legislation on
points involving religious affairs. and to
correct false impressions and opinions
