Washington, Mar. II. = President
Roosevelt had conference with Rep

Roosevelt will deal with the subject in

TRUE HISTORY OF THE LIFE
AND DEEDS OF ST. PATRICK


| from the flames. The priest accepted,
with the result that he was burned to
ashes, while the flames did not injure
the boy at all. Then King Laeghaire.
with rage in his heart and a smile on
his lips, invited st. Patrick to come
to his palace on the following day.
Armed men were stationed on the
road to kill the saint and his follow
ers, but they saw only few deer pass
them in the night. Then the king
played his last card. A cup of poison
ed wine was given st. Patrick when
he reached the palace, but the saint
turned the cup upside down, the poi
son fell out, and again the king was
foiled. Then he decided to make the
best of it and gave st. Patrick the
freedom of his kingdom to do as he
pleased
st. Patrick's career began from that
moment. King Laeghaire would not
submit to be baptized, but he showed
that Christianity had made deep i'm
preston on him.
When his preaching failed to con-
vert the heather St Patrick lifted the
staff of Jesus" against the idol,
when suddenly, by the power of God,
the idol fell on its side and the silver
and gold poured forth from it broken
and powdered into dust and the earth
swallowed up the twelve inferior
gods" images surrounding the chief
idol. On another occasion, when two
brothers were engaged in fierce COM
bat with swords, the saint made their
arms immovable as stones, staying
them in the air, which miraculous in
PREVENTION made good Christians of
the brothers. During one Lenten sea-
son the apostle retired for prayer to a
mountain in Connaught. 1t was dur
ing this retreat that he banished the
serpents from Ireland.
St Patrick was at Madh where he
was warned that death was near. The
saint proceeded to Armagh, where he
made his episcopal headquarters, as
first Bishop of Armagh. While here
an angel appeared to him in a vision
and gave him minute instructions
about the size and style of the pro-
posed cathedral. Accordingly he built
the wall 140 feet long. the great hall
was 80 feet long, the kitchen II feet,
and the treasury for the sacred vessels
feet, as the angel ordained, and
when it was done the saint went to
Rome to bring back a linen cloth
marked with the blood of our Lord
Jesus Christ" besides certain relics of
SIS. Peter and Paul and Stephen. He
was told in a dream to return to the
province of Uladh, which was the scene
of his first triumphs. When he ar
rived at Saul he took to his bed and
died on March II, 492 A. D., sixty
years after his arrival in Ireland, at
the great age of 120 years. The apos-
tie of Ireland and its first bishop
breathed his last surrounded by con-
verts of his ministry. He found in
Ireland 100000 of pagans, and in six
ty years he had changed the religious
aspect of the land so completely that
there was not an idol to be found on
all the land

Milchu. He Travelled north in the di-
rection of Milchu's castle, but when
he came in sight of it great red light
in the sky caused him to halt in won
der. He soon learned the cause of the
glare. His fame as a converter of
souls to Christ had preceded him.
Something made the old warrior Mil
chu feel, when he heard that st. Pat
rick was travelling to his castle, that
he would be led to desert the gods of
his fathers. Milchu determined to
prevent such humiliating fate by dy-
ing as he had lived, so he set fire to
his ancestral home and persisted in the
flames sooner than be converted by st.
Patrick. From the funeral pyre of his
old master, St Patrick burned with
new and brilliant idea in view. The
court of King Laeghaire (AngliciZed
to OLeary, and ancestor of that fam
ily), son of Nal Nor, of the time of
the Nine Hostages, 10th monarch of
Ireland, whose reign opened 378 A. d.
Che married first lime, daughter of
Prince Luighdrach, and became ances-
tor of the princely families O'Neil and
McNeil-St. Brigid, or Bridget, who
is the patron saint of Ireland, is of
this house,, was about to meet to cele-
brate the festival of the Fes of Tara.
Here all the priests and dignitaries
gathered to worship in the national
fashion, and st. Patrick determined to
strike blow at the fountain head at
once. The sequel showed how wise a
determination it was. AS he approach
ed the vicinity of the palace, st. Pat
rick lighted a fire, to camp for the
night This was a grave offense, for
no fires were allowed to be lighted I'M
til the sacrificial fire of the following
morning was ignited. The king saw
the rebellious blaze in the distance,
and sent to find out who had kindled
it.
st. Patrick was discovered sitting as
bold as a lion at his Preside on the
plain, in company with a few follow
ers. The king, who knew too well with
whom he had to deal, ordered st. Pat
rick to be brought to the idolatrous
celebration on the following morning
to pit his supernatural powers against
those of the court magicians and high
priests. At daybreak, therefore, be-
hold the Druidical high priests and
st. Patrick arrayed against each 9TH
er, King Laeghaire and court and peo-
pie looking on expectantly. The Druids
had the first inning. They made snow
fall to the depth of several feet, but
they could not get rid of the beautiful.
They caused black darkness to cover
the land, but when they called for light
the light declined to come. So they
had to suffer the ignominy of accept
ing the proffered assistance of st. Pat
rick, who caused snow and darkness
to disappear in twinkling. Then st.
Patrick challenged the chief priest to
a trial that looked all in favor of the
latter. He proposed to have the priest
placed on a pile of green wood, and
the boy, Benignus, who accompanied
the party, placed on a pile of dry
wood, and a test was made to see
whose God would protect his own

Personnel of St. Patrick.

st. Patrick is believed to have be-
gun his missionary labors in Ireland
in about the year A. D. 432, being then
in the very perfection of his physical
manhood. In figure he is represented
as being over the ordinary hight of
men, but attenuated by early suffering
in slavery, and in consequence of his
strict observance of the rules of fast
ing and abstinence laid down by his
instructor, st. Germanus, of whom it
is said that, from the day on which
he began his ministry to the day of his
death, a period of thirty years, he new
er touched wheaton bread, nor did he
allow himself the common seasoning
of salt with his barley, the only food
which he permitted himself
In temperament st. Patrick was
grave and stern, and though some
times moved to acts of severity, was
easily melted to compassion at the
sight of physical suffering or mental
affection; and, like most great men
who have made themselves q place
in the worlds history, he had an I'M
bending will and temper prone to sud-
den bursts Of anger: in his case, how
ever, suhdued and kept In check by

There are strange notions regard
ing st. Patrick, Apostle and Bishop of
Ireland. Many people still believe ST.
Patrick to be peasant boy, who came
suddenly into prominence and earned
his title by killing all deadly reptiles
in Ireland with the wave of his hand.
Shorn of fiction, the life of st. Patrick
is one of deep interest. The wise men
claim St Patrick as a Scotchman, Eng
lishman, Frenchman, Spaniard, or
Welshman. but every son of Erin
knows that the saint was an Irish
man. st. Patrick was of the Irish
royal blood, and to show that he was
not of any otbeR nationality let us eX-
anime his ancestry. His father was
Calphurnius, deacon, son of Potitus,
a priest in the Roman Catholic church.
His mother was Conchessa, a near rel
alive to st. Martin of Tours. Potitus
was son of Odais, son of Connudh; son
of Leobut; son of Mere; son of Oda,
son of Ore, son of Muric, son of Ore,
son of Leo, son of Maxine, son of 9th
rag, son of Emiede, son of Fuse, son
of Piliste, son of Pherum (Farine),
son of Briottan Maol, son of Fearghus
Lethdug, son of Nunhaidh, a quo of
the Nundians, who were descended of
Magog, son of Japhet. Calphurnius
was the Illumination of the Celtic, Cal
pun; the later form was Maculpum,
now MacAlpin, one of the early royal
families in Scotland, who came into
that country from Ireland, where they
were of the royal and noble lineage.
AS child, st. Patrick was called Sue
cat, but when he was baptized into
the Catholic faith his name was
changed to Paderic, or Patrick, which
means "a nobleman." So here is our
saints name, Patrick McAlpin, who
al boy first came into historical
prominence in Gaul, then a Roman
province.
st. Patrick landed in Ireland as
missionary in 432 A. D. Ireland at
that time was peopled by fierce and
fiery race of sun and idol worshipers,
whose priests were the Druids. They
had, strange to say, code of morals
of their own, and they treated women
with the greatest consideration. They
were barbarians, for the Romans, who
for nearly 400 years had been the con-
querors of Britain, had to acknowledge
that they could do nothing with the
people of Ireland. Invincible in war
fare, they were, too, and their code of
morals, which gave them rugged
health, was perhaps as much to be
credited with this result as their valor
on the field. st. Patrick landed in
County Meath. His first convert was
Benignus, a boy at the house of whose
parents the saint stopped. The next
convert was Prince Diehn, who, hear
ing of the landing of st. Patrick, came
down to the coast to drive him and
his religion into the sea. But Prince
Diehn's sword arm became rigid as
marble when he attacked st. Patrick,
and Diehn, finding that he was dealing
with some one above the human, &C.
cepted Christianity and was baptized.
st. Patrick's great ambition was the
conversion of his old master, Prince

STOLEN BABY
IS NOT FOUND
A CHINESE AND PORTO RICAN
ALLEGED PARTNERS IN KID
MAPPING.

Chinese Interpreter Ii Cheung and
Porto Rican Interpreter George Ma
cauley worked at 1he same time in
Judge Gears court this morning, each
translating an indictment to Francis
co RICARDO and Hoy Chez, who We're
jointly accused of child-stealng. The
child in the case is an eleven-months-
old boy who has never been found
since he was taken and her mother is
the accuser. The defendants, a Porto
Rican and a Chinese, We're indicted by
the grand jury and arraigned this
morning and both the Interpreters
talked at once in interpreting the in
dictments. Macauley finished first.
The mother of the lost child is a
Porto Rican named Ramona Rodri-
CUES Filiano. She is said to have been
living with Hoy Chez and to have
iquarreled with him. Shortly after
wards he left her and the baby, only
eleven months old. disappeared. 1t is
charged that Hoy Chez, with the as
sistance of Delgardo, stole the baby.
The woman complained to the police
but no trace of the child has been
found and there is some suspicion OF
foul play.

INDICTMENT
A MISTAKE
CHARGE BROUGHT AGAINST SEW
EN- FISHERMEN is PROMPTLY
NOLLE PROSSED.

Seven Kahana fishermen who were
indicted for malicious INJURY several
days ago were released this morning
by Judge Gear, Attorney General An
drews entering a nolle prosequi in each
case. The Attorney General said that
he did not think there had been any
otfensa for which a jury could find a
conviction and that he would have so
advised the grand jury had he known
the facts of the case and known that
an indictment was being considered.
The fishermen are John All Sing,
David All Sing, Moke Kaanaana, Ka-
lihi, Kalualiilii, David Pake and Kau-
lahea. They were charged with dam
aging the fishing nets of Thomas w.
and James Watson. Andrews stated
that all the trouble had occurred be-
cause in bringing their nets ashore the
defendants had got them afoul of the
nets of the complaining witnesses. One
party had as much right to fish there
as another, said Andrews, and it would
be an injustice to the seven poor fish
ermen to make them stand trial.
Judge Gear said that a mistake had
evidently been made by the Attorney
Generals Department in allowing the
indictment. He discharged the fisher
men and they went from court giving
him thanks.
