a club smoker. There was nothing
formal about the meeting, the serious
part even being mixed with fun and
laughter.
President Forbes was master Of cere-
monies, and on account of his position
announced that he was going TO sit
with Alex Rice in the baldNS head row
when the vaudeville performances was
produced as the GROWING climax Of
fine evening.
Mr.. Forbes started the ball OF merri-
ment rolling when he announced that
on account Of much wrangling between
certain OF the members of the club
about the location of the birthplace Of
the saint he would give these
members q chance to argue the thing
In public. Mr. Forbes said that the
argument had started with the asser-
tion on the part of Mr.. Kennedy that
the Saint was born near Glasgow,
Scotland and that T. Gardner Foster
had disagreed so strenousiy that II
became necessary for a public argu-
ment. He then called upon c. F. Nor
itz to explain and prove the loca-
ton of the famous place.
Mr. NORTH only added 20 the argu-
ment when he said with all serious
ness that ''nather'' place was correct,
and that the true birthplace CT the
Saint was in Rome. He carefully
explained that st. Patrick was carried
n prisoner into ireland. and that after
his escape he had returned TO drive
out the snakes by SOLDERING the Irish
for fifteen minutes.
"why. gentlemen st. Patrick was
born In Gaul." declared Mr.. Moritz.

Celebration of st. Patrics<'s Day
That Sparlkled with
Wit and Song.

The celebration given last evening
at $3.50 o'clock under the auspices of the
Ancient Order OF Hibernians. at the
hall of the Knights OF Columbus on
Perry Street, formed q fitting close to
that day upon which, the world over,
the old Green OF Erin haunts itself
proudly in memery of st. Patrick, the
patron saint Of ireland.
For the celebration. an unusually en-
PERTAINING program had been prepared.
and a loyal body OF Erin's sons. two

were rendered with exquisite taste.
and mark ed ability. The old familiar
melodies wAFe particularly appropri-i
ate for the pafriotic celebration. and
the speeches delivered with force and
powerful eloquence held the audience
under their sway.
Especially delightful was the singing
Of Miss Anderson. who possesses rare
artistic ability and training. Her voice
is a soprano of wonderful sweetness
and power. Miss Anderson is from
Birmingham and is the soprano OF st.
Paul's Church in that city.
The Influence of the Irish Mother"
by Rev Patrick Turner, was an ora
ton of power and eloquence. The per-
sonal magnetism of the orator added to
the effectiveness of his delivery. THE
Life of ST. Patrick and His Influence
on the Irish Race" the theme ably han.
died by Alex Troy. was one of special
interest to all.
A feature Of the celebration was the
singing in unison at the end of the
celebration, Of God Save Ireland" a
noble hymn that brought the entire as
sembly to its feet in unrestrained en-
thusiasm.
The following gentlemen constituted
the committee on arrangements: Hugh

that he realized the value Of an indie
pendent organisation which works
along with the city government. He
expressed himself as being highly
pleased with the reception which had
been accorded him on his trip south
through Kentucky. Tennessee and Ala
bama.
J. b. Ellis Of Selma was then called
upon. He Immediately caught and held
the attention Of the audience with an
observation on the number Of persons
attending the Commercial Club meeting
and the enthusiasm displayed by the
members. He said that he had come to
Montgomery with the sole purpose of
attending the meeting in order that he
might 60 back home and tell his own
club Of the wonders which he had seen
in Montgomery. He closed his re-
| marks by saying that Montgomery had
a spirit Of its own. A spirit which

W. B. Fo1mar, Mayor of Troy. urged
the Commercial Club to get to work
In order that his little suburb a few
miles away might get the improvements
which Montgomery was enjoying.

I'VE have no club of this sort in our
section Of this city. and I wish that you
folks would get these clubs organized
and supply us with one of these pro-
greHIive organizations at the same time
that you supply the nearer suburb Of
Selma"
On Mr.. Ellis's protest that Selma
wasn't a suburb Of Montgomery. Mr..
Folmar replied that It certainly was
and ought to be.

Forbes, and sandwiches and soft drinks

After all had been served and the
cigars passed by the walters. President
