REUNION AND INITIATION PROMISED

Division 3, A. o. H., held splendid
meeting Monday night, transacted a
great deal of business and discussed and
laid plans for the future progress of the
order. President Thomas Quinn opened
the meeting and the members sang the
opening ode with spirit and HARMONY.
The applications of Martin Mullen, John
Nolan and Patrick Connolly were re-
ceived. Patrick Sheehan was elected to
membership and he and three others
were initiated, the degrees being con-
ferred by James Coleman, Patrick Sulli-
van, Thomas Quinn, Lawrence Mackey,
Pat Welsh and the guard of honor.
Michael Dugan, John Gibbons and
Thomas Jordan were reported i'll. The
attendance was so large aud the members
were paying their dues so rapidly that
Secretary Pat Welsh had hard time in
keeping his accounts straight.
The Literary Committee, composed of
George ]. Butler, Joseph Cooney and
Lawrence Mackey, recommended in its
report that a complete punching bag, a
Whitley exerciser, Iudian club and dumb
bells be purchased for the proposed GYM
nasium, and that the Kentucky Irish
American, the Irish World, Douahoe's
Magazine and the Gael be procured for
the reading room. The recommends.
tons were discussed favorably by Messrs.
Coleman, Mackey, Butler and others,
though final action was delayed on ali
but the first section of the report, which
requests the Hall Board to have the hall
open on Sunday afternoons and evenings.
The circular letter from County Presi-
dent Patrick Sullivan was read and lis
tened to with interest. President Sulli-
van thanks the various division officers
and members for their loyalty and gen.
erous support of the County Board. He
also reports a net gain of fifty members
and the abolition of the monthly per
capita tax. Great stress was laid on the
proposition to organize a company of
Hibernian Knights. County President
Sullivan asked the assistance of all MEM
bers in this undertaking, so that the
new company could start with a satis-
factory number of men. He also urges
all to do their best to swell the ranks of
their respective divisions before Janu-
airy l, and recommends that the four
divisions have grand union initiation
on the last Sunday of this year. The
National Boards call for a per capita tax
was read and the same ordered paid.
William M. Higgins, of the Kentucky
Irish American, said a few words in
praise of the progress made by the order.
His remarks were literally applauded.
President Quinn thanks the members
for their unusually large attendance.
The invitation to attend Division rs
social session on the following night was
accepted. The suggestion of County
President Sullivan for a union meeting
and initiation on the last Sunday of the
year was adopted. Owing to the lateness
of the hour discussion of the oreaniza-
ton of the military company was post
poned till the next meeting.
On Wednesday night Division 4 held
its regular meeting, with good attend
ance and President Hennessy in the
chair. The applications of Frank Luck
ert and Thomas McHugh were received.
The Visiting Committee reported that
Martin McNally was still sick, but i'm
proving; that Pat Manion was on the
sick list, and that Thomas Lanean had
been hurt in a railroad accident. Terry
Quill was reported we'll and back at work.
The communication from County Presi-
dent Pat Sullivan addressed to all the
divisions and members reviewing the
years work was read and met with an
proval. 1t was decided to accept his
suggestion to hold union meeting and
initiation on Sunday, December 81.
The main feature of the evening was
the discussion of a proposition to give an
in the latter part of Ian
uary. 1t was finally decided to 60 ahead
with the project, though the nature of
the entertainment to be given was left in
the hands of committee made up as fol-
lows: John ]. Barry, John Hanrahan,
James ]. Kenealey, Tim Downey, DIR. T.
H. Mulvey, William Hennessey and
Frank McDonogh. These gentlemen will
meet at once and decide whether to give

musical entertainment to be followed by
dance. AS soon as the date and hall
have been selected tickets will be printed
and distributed. Resolutions on the
death of William Lyden were read and
adopted.
