AN OVATION
Was Given DR.. Cotter at
the Auditorium
Last Night.
ST. PATRICK EXERCISES

The ST. Patrick's Day celebration at
the Auditorium Sunday night for the
benefit of St. Paul's Catholic church
was a success far above the eXpecta-
tions of those having it in charge
and the treasury was benefited mater
tally. In securing the celebrated Irish
orator, Rev. DR.. James H. Cotter, the
committee acted wisely and notwith-
standing it being his first appearance
in the city, hundreds were attracted.
John T. Blake, the chairman of the
evening, opened the celebration with
an excellent address in which he eX-
plained the purpose of observing the
day in this way and what was re-
sponsible for it's Inauguration. Know
ing that the Auditorium would be in
demand for that day. he said it had
been engaged over a year in advance
by the A. o. H., but that it was free
ly turned over to Rev. Father Paulus,
of St. Paul's. and a committee of
his parishioners, for the worthy pur-
pose as soon as their desire of taking
that means of getting financial aid for
the worthy project became known.
Chairman Blake then introduced
Miss Sarah LAWN, who opened the
program proper with a soprano solo,
accompanied by Miss Ossie Wernet.
Her beautiful rendering of the ap-
propriate Kathleen Mavourneen,"
by Crouch, with the perfect accom-
paniment, was received with deafen-
ing applause and Miss LAWN immedi-
ately responded with Killarney" by
Balfe. AS the last note of the song
so dear to every Irish heart died
away, the walls fairly shook with the
hearty applause which was kept up un-
til Miss LAWN re-appeared, closing
with, The Harp That Once Thro
Tara's Halls by Moore.
DR.. Cotter was then introduced and
delivered his celebrated lecture on
Liberty" The address of over an
hour and half duration. full of rich
thought and elegant diction, was pow
erfully delivered. There was not an
uninteresting moment during the en-
tire time and DR.. Cotter's lecture was
punctuated with well merited ap-
plause.

If the mere money damage done by
floods in the Pittsburg region in the
past ten years could be added up and
the sum applied to intelligent flood
prevention. business would not be sub

burg and form the Ohio is not by
nature peculiarly subjected to floods,
but the steep slopes of the hills have
been denuded of their protecting for
ests to an extent fortunately not often
matched elsewhere. Having wasted
the forests, Pennsylvania may prevent
the constant interruption of its busi-
ness by restraining the floods by head
water reservoirs. 1t is the only way
that takes less than a century. And
other states, such as New York, whose
forests are not quite so far destroyed,
may meanwhile profit by Pittsburg's
experience.

were inserted in boxes in the two
outside pieces of the frame, which
was made of four by four hardwood
material. Four two by eight plan'ts
were used for the front and rear of
the frame.
A platform was made on which
the seat was attached by taking an
old wagon tire and bending it in po-
sition shown. Platform was placed
on these bars and an old moving
machine seat bolted for the rider.

used for the tongue on the roller.
