FATHER CARAHER's ADDRESS.

The feature of yesterdays proceed
ings was the address delivered by
Father 7. c. Caraher, State chaplain of
the order, at the celebration of solemn
high mass by the delegates to the two
conventions. The ceremony took place
at st. Peters Church during the fore
noon, the delegates adjourning their
sessions in order to participate. Father
Caraher spoke eloquently of the gen
erosity of Irish-Americans toward the
sufferers of ali lands. At the recent ma
tional convention of the Order of
Hibernians in Saratoga, which he at
tended as a delegate from California.
he was highly gratified by the spirit
of helpfulness shown toward San
Francisco brethren When the matter
of aiding the members who had been
burned out of their homes in this city
was. taken up action was prompt and
provision was made for the imme-,
diate raising of $4,000 for relief
Father Caraher spoke of the patriotic
service of Irish soldiers, whichever flag
they were fighting for. Continuing
the priest expressed the following
sentiment:
But 1 am far prouder of the Irish
man because of the brotherly regard
for his fellow man that he has shown
in the San Francisco emergency than
because of his brilliant record in fight
ing when the nations honor is at
stake. When the call for help went
over the land from San Francisco the
Irishman showed brighter colors than
he ever did in wartime"
Father Caraher was the celebrant of
the mass and he was assisted by
Father Lande. sub-deacon; Father Gro
gan, sub deacon, and Father Mackey,
master of ceremonies. The choir was
reinforced by singers from other
churches for the occasion.
