experienced the hardships and grew
ances of that country. The ties which
bound together Irish immigrants are
lacking in the second and third gen.
erations, but the aims and ideals em-
bodied in the constitution of the An
Gent Order of Hibernians should be
sufficient to attract Irish men and
women of the younger generation. It's
purpose is fraternal and benevolent.
Fraternal societies all depend largely
upon men and women of the younger
generation. The insurance feature Of
the order is conmendahle. The in
surance furnished by the order is as
cheap and safe as that of any of the
fraternal organizations. Wherever
fraternal insurance appeals to Irish
young men there should be no hesi-
fancy on their part in selecting an
order made up wholly of Irish-Ameri-
cans whose motto is Friendship. unity
and Christian charity" There are
many Catholic fraternal societies with
various aims and purposes, but none

tives than the Ancient Order of Hi

the Hibernians will also apply to the

Father Bernard Vaughan, in one OF

religious condition in France. observed
that: THE London Times seemed to

Church was about to expire of mental

France and England might be found
no more on the map of Europe, Rome
would still be in the vigor, the fresh
ness. ana the beauty of her perennial
youth" This recalls Macaulay's ia

GER Early in the seventh century, a
monk named Botolph founded a church
in what is now Lincolnshire, England,
and the town which grew up around
the church was called Botolphs town.
AS happened in so many other cases,
the British tendency to contracted
forms of speech, changed the name
successfully into Botolphston, Bots
ton, and finally Boston. When John
Cotton came to the New World from
that town, he named the New England
village after his native town. Boston.

The British are more addicted to the
use, or rather abuse, of Intoxicating
drinks than any other people in the
world. at least according to Very Rev.
Canon Mccarthy, who at temperance
meeting recently. in Glasgow (Scot-
land), said that: 'Intemperance was
the national vice. Here Tin Great
Brittany they drank more than the
rich states Of America. than the in
dustirous population of Germany, more
than the wine-growing countries of
France and Spain, more than any ma
ton in the world. In the late war
when the soldiers went from Britain
to the front their conduct was dis
graceful. So many of them went in a
state of intoxication that the COM
mander-in- chief had to appeal to the
people not to treat the soldiers. The
merchant fleet, too had to be manned
by foreign seamen-foreigh, but never

able to the British tar, about whose
virtues the world has heard SO much
from the British. And about the
British soldiers in the late war, was it
because they were drunkards that the
Beers licked them so often and so
easily? asks the New York Freeman's
Journal.

THE ANCIENT ORDER OF HlBER
MANS OF THIS STATE.

The twelfth biennial meeting of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, lately
held in Winona, showed this organf-
cation to be in a most fourishing con-
dition in Minnesota. Minnesota has
not proportionately large number
of Irish people in it's population. Cons
pared with states like New York and
Massachusetts the Irish population OF
Minnesota is very small. There are
$4,000 Irish Americans in the city of
Greater New York alone, and a large
proportion of the population of such
cities as Troy, Albany, Syracuse and
Buffalo are Irish. The same is true OF
the cities of Massachusetts,. More
than half of the population of the city
of Boston is Irish or Irish descent.
Minnesota compares very favorably,
however, with those states when it
comes to the membership in the An.
cient Order of Hibernians. This fact
speaks volumes for the men who have
differed the organization in this state.
The Importance of the Minnesota order
in the national councils of the organs
cation is shown by the fact that James
J. Regain Of this state was elected ma

by the further fact that Mrs. Mary B.

The anarchy which has prevailed in
Atlanta, Georgia, for some time past
should teach Americans that they have,
enough to do at home without criti-
cising Russia. The slaughter of me-
groes in the south is more appalling
than anything that has taken place
in Russia. 1t is quite the fashion for
American newspapers to condemn the
Russian government for its failure to
protect the Jews, but nothing like the
state of affairs that exists in this
country can be paralleled in Russia.
No doubt the Russian government de-
sires to preserve order but the agen-
cies of revolution make it almost inn
possible. In this country race hatred
alone is responsible for the wanton
slaughter of men, women and children.
