 Iuet This Evening.
 The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick held their twenty-frst annual celebration of the St. Patricks day at the Hotel Oneco Saturday night. The hall was attrac- tive decorated with American and Irisb flags. Coolnel John c. Healy presi- dent of the society, introduced Attor- ney David E. Fitzgerald as toastmas- ter. He presented ex-senator William Kennedy of Naugatuck as the first speaker. He said in part:
 This day is full of history Eloquent speeches have been delivered, true poetry has been read, melodious songs have been sung and the best Irish music has been composed and played in honor of St. Patrick When St. Patrick died he left Ireland in a prosperous condition, and blessed with a contented people, and Ireland and it's people re- mained in that state for centuries
 You professional men, business men, and you Irishmen in all walks of life. remember this: You can never be any thing but an Irishman, and it ought to be the proudest honor for you to bear because you are representatives of the noblest of people.
 What beautiful change in the sen- timent of the head of the English gov ernment. Do ycu believe that the kind and house of lords and commons will all acquiesce in granting home rule to Ireland?
