Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-04-29

always existing between capital and labor in Waterbury, the stability or it's banking institutions and the creditable record of its public off ciais from the date of the incorpora- ton of the town to the present time.
 At this juncture Toastmaster Gull foile read dispatch from M. J. Ryan, who is stopping at Atlantic City, expressing his regrets at not being able to be present and hoping that all would have a pleasant time. Judge Cowell considered this lit subject for few remarks and after talking on the admirable qualities of MT Ryan, moved that the clerk be instructed to send him message of good cheer from the banquet room, wishing him and 1is family the blessing of God now and during the balance of their lives. The mo- tion was put and carried with vim that shook the building from eel lar to dome.
 James c. Whiting was introduced as one of the brightest, wittiest and cleverest men in the community, a
 1ldH WUO Hdo uOllt q 6iCat uSoi "i'' his pen to make Waterbury known outside it's own boundaries. He re- cited Casey at the, Bat in man. ner which won great applause and for an encore he sang a Scotch love song, the audience joining in the chorus. Tn addition to reciting and singing Mir Whiting made few re- marks relative to Eagledom and told the boys that they have won- derful asset in the amount of ylrll- ity, snap and good looks so notice able in those gathered about him. He was cheered.
 Judge Cowell spoke for probably an hour. He was at his best and his remarks touched the right spot. He
 reviewed the work of fraternal in- stitutions in Waterbury for the past half century and contended that the world is better for their existence.
 He spoke feelingly of the home and | the family and talked of how much | more secure mans wife and chill
 dren are wheh the head of the ! house has something to fall back ! upon in time of sickness or adyer- | sity. The speaker shocked the mod | esty of Postmaster Guilfoile, who l is the judges law partner, when he stated that Mr Guilfoile came to l his office 12 or 13 years ago and | that since that time he never heard
 him tell a smutty story or use a
 profane word, and this he considered
 something very difficult for a mem
 Der of the bar to avoid. The judge s
 remarks pleased everybody and he | was given a splendid ovation.
 v Hector Dubuc read humorous
 report of a political meeting and re- l cited one of Dr Drummond's dialect
 poems in masterly manner. MT Dubuc made a hit. He is mem- | Der of the Granite Construction
 company and was heard for the
 first time last night in public way.
 Frank E Herring of South Bend,
 Ind. national treasurer of the order,
 was the principal speaker and al-
 though 1t was late when he was | called upon, not a soul left while
 he was before the footlights. He Is
 a very brilliant young man and gave
 the organization boom in Water. bury which is bound to add to it's membership. The organization was founded just 10 years ago in Seat
 tie and since that time it has
 spread through several states in the
 union and in a comparatively brief
 period he knew it will have an aerie
 fin every town and hamlet in this
 country. He was much pleased with
 the caliber of the representatives
 sent to the national conventions
 from Waterbury and said that these
 are the kind of men needed al the
 helm. NIT Herring was delighted with
 Waterbury and felt that the Eagles
 will make it a better place than
 ever before. He admired the mag.
 nificent elms in Waterbury and
 other places all through Connecti'
 cut and talked on the early history
 of New England in a manner which demonstrated while this Is his first
 visit east he has it's history on his
 tongues end and knows how to i'm
 mart what he knows about tt tC
 others. He may have received rous
 inc welcomes elsewhere. but it is
 auestion if the one rendered 10 him last night did no. exceed the bes effort ever made by any other towr
 to honor the national body.
 pr Thomas ]. Kilmariin made
 some remarks on the work Of tho Anti-Tuberculosis league and l thanked the Eagles for shsir eontri button to the fund of sI0o tO battl' l with the white plague.
 Attorney John D. spelIman of Rut , land. Vt. was the last speaker. and yet he vas heard with much pleas ure. although it vas nearly o'clocl in the morning. After compliment ; ing the organization for the exeeIlen programme which was about Co drav , to a close he said he would conclud' } by reciting one Of Tom Moore poems addressed to his own Bessy , Mr SpeIImsn said that probably h' | might be a little partial to Moore be , cause he himself Is the hnesI de ! sceudsnt of an Irish rebel fsmiIs ; The gentleman from Vermont thel 1 reeifed the poem in masicrly man | ner and vas eheered to the echo ; IazlIier's oreheStra furnished must : and a .auartetfe rendered several Se 1.
