LECTURE ON DMMET.
Under the Auspices of Sarsfield Club
 at City Hall Last Night.

Under the Auspices of Sarsheld Club
 at City Hall Last Night.
 City hall never held larger or more enthusiastic audience than met there last night, under the auspices of the P. s. Sarsield club, to hear Father Shee- hy's lecture on Emmet and see his de- lightful views of Irish scenery. It was unquestionably the most successful en- tertainment of the kind ever held in Waterbury and proved very conclusive ly that Emmet and the cause for which he died are still green in the hearts of his countrymen. Prof James E. Madi- gan introduced the speaker. who told the story of Emmet and others who had labored for the Irish cause in a captivating manner, his remarks at times producing shouts of applause that could have been heard in Exchange place. Father Sheehy is forceful speaker, has Irish history on his tongues end and tells it in way which shows that he is thoroughly sincere.
 At the conclusion of the lecture Dan- iel +. Lawlor recited "Emmet's Epi- taph' with touching effect and good elocution. This was followed by Father Sheehy's illustrated lecture, which included the most complete set of Irish views ever thrown on a can vas in this city. Passing through Cork, stop was made at Shandon church, beside the Lee, and the audience shown and given a sketch of the bell in the tower. While this was on the canvas John Moriarty appeared and rendered Rev Francis Mahony's famous song, s'The Bells of Shandon.' MT Moriarty was in good voice and put his soul into the words. He was given splendid ovation and for an encore sang "An Irishman's Toast" The round towers of Ireland, always an interesting fea- ture of such entertainments, were made doubly so last night by the splendid rendition of McCarthy's charming poem, ''The Pillar Towers e Ireland" by Miss Nora Luddy, while a view of one of these mammoth structures was before the audience. The lecturer paid a very fattering compliment to Miss Luddy. stating that never before had he heard the lines delivered with so much patriotic feeling and expression. The rest of the program included a cornet solo by F. J. Horan, and the singing of God Save Ireland" in Gaelic by the Gaelic literary quartet, com posed of the Misses Shannahan and O'Meara and Messrs T. Luddy and H.. Moriarty.
 After the lecture Father Sheehy was 1 rendered reception by the Emmet club at T. H. Hayes's banquet hall on East Main street with Prof Madigan as toastmaster. About hundred per sons were present. The place was l tastefully decorated with a variety of ,potted plants and a beautiful picture of Dmmet surrounded by American and Irish flags occupied conspicuous place at the chairmans desk. Besides a menu which included about every thing one could mention, put up to suit the taste of the most fastidious, the program was as follows:

SECRETARY SHAW ON MINING

The sixth annual session of the
American Mining Congress con-
vened at Deadwood, South Dakota,
September 9Th. The attendance
was large, and representative min
ing men, metallurgists and geolo-
gists from every part Of the United
States were in attendance. Secre-
tary Shaw, of the United States
treasury, was the principal speaker
at the opening of the congress, he
delivering q noteworthy address.
He said in part:
"It is an error to rate the import
ance of our many industries ac-
cording to their relative product
iveness. Our factories and work
shops produced $13,0O0,000,OOO
gross in 1900; agriculture, $4,000,
100000; forestry, $2,0O0,000,000;
and mines $1,000,000,00L, about
equally divided between metallic
and nvnmetallic products. Yet it
must occur to all that manufacture
apparently our greatest wealth
producing industry-is dependent
upon iron, copper, lead, zinc and
other metals, and equally upon
coal and other nonmetallic miner
ais. Our manufacturing interests
would dwindle into insignificance
but for our mines.
"a peoples prosperity is MOI
measured by its capacity to pro
duce more than by its capacity to
consume, and this capacity to con
sumo is in turn dependent upol
the earning capacity of the indi-
vidual, and the earning capacity O.
the individual is again dependen
upon native and acquired ability
So, if America be great, it is be
cause God in his wisdom stored The
mountains with the richest miner
ais, overlaid the valleys with a
most fertile soil, and then gave it
to people competent, in some slight
degree at least, to improve their op-
portunities."
