comb is making his appeal directly
to the masses and TO the rank and
file. His friends, and they are
legion, assert that he is free from all
entangling alliances, and that having
kept clear of fractional troubles
within the party he is free to appeal
to all its elements and TO reunite its
hosts at n time when a solid Demo-
cratic phalanx is absolutely necessary
to success. The adherents of Mr..
Newcomb point with pride 20 his
brilliant record as a member of the
State Legislature, as a Representa-
tive from the County of jefferson
in the sessions of 1902 and 1904.
His friends and supporters demon
strate that practically anything be
advocated was adopted. but that any
thing he opposed during those two
sessions was defeated, and that he
is credited with originating the
largest number of bills that passed
while he was a member of the House.
Mr.. Newcomb is responsible for sew
eral acts for the benefit of Louis
Vile people. among them the bill
establishing the Free kindergarten
system; the bill allowing the Com
monwealth's Attorney an assistant,
thus Fastening procedures in the
Circuit Court; and bill under whose
provisions new title companies were
permitted to enter this territory.
thus affording competition in line
previously monopolistic. Another
plea that his friends urge is his
continued advocacy of the cause OF
the workingman.
In 1904 he resigned as a member
of the House of Representatives t.
qualify as Democratic Elector from
this district, and he gave all his
time and attention to that work.
He is a ready speaker and a debater
that takes advantage of his oppon-
ent's weakness. His many admirers
believe he will be the Democratic
standard-bearer in the coming cam
paign. ~

AMUSING DEBATE
Between Irish and German
Young Men of Trim
ity Council.

President James b. Kelly and the
other officers of Trinity Council were
gratified at the attendance at Trinity
Council Monday night, and pleased
with the interest that is being shown
by all the members. Two more appli-
cations were received and referred to
committees. 1t was determined to
have the first post-Lenten reception
and euchre on the night of April %.
DR.. G. p. Beutel was appointed Chair
man of a committee to arrange the
details of the affair.
The Board of Directors of Trinity's
Aid Society held meeting and its
reports to the council were very graft
fying/ Work on the superstructure
for The new club house will begin at
once. Joseph Sibler, the popular
bnilder, has secured the contract
for the carpenter work. After a
great amount of routine work had
been disposed of a lively debate fol-
lowed about the advisability of hold
ing a reception and dance on St
Patrick's night. An amusing feature
was that the COMMUNICATIONS
wanted to celebrate in honor of
Erin's saint, while the young men Of
Irish descent were opposed to it, not
from lack of patriotic spirit but
because this is the Lenten season.
1t was finally decided not to cele-
brate until after Easter.

Passed Away Full of Years
and Ftonored by Her
Associates.

In the death of Mrs. Mary Wolf,
who passed away Monday morning,
the Cathedral parish mourns one Of
it's oldest members. For more than
forty years she had been active in
all the church and charitable work
undertaken by the people of that

George Wolf, at one time Louisville :
leading ieweler, she was Miss Mary
Eremer, sister of the late Charles
Kremer, for many years City Wharf
master, and Capt. Theodore Kremer,
of the police force.
Mrs. Wolf had been i'll two weeks
and suffered from a complication OF
diseases. Three sons, George w. and
Alfred, who conduct the business of
George Wolf g. Company, on Fourth
avenue, and William d. Wolf, of the
firm of the Louisville Dry Goods Com
pany, survive her. The funeral took
place from the Cathedral Wednesday
morning, and that stately edifice was
crowded with friends of the deceased
who came from all parts of the city
to pay their last respects to her
mortal remains.

HOME TALENT
Will Furnish Entertainment
After Lenten Season
Passes.

The leading feature of the meeting
of Division 4, A. o. H., Monday night
was the determination of the mem
bers to give a high class yaudevill,
entertainment Immediately after
Lent. The entire proceedings of the
evening were interesting anc
showed that the pleasant quarters in
Bertrand Hall have been beneficial
to the division.
President Henessy was on hand
and as soon as the session was called
John McDermott, John O'Dalv, John
Mcnamara and Thomas Campior
were obligated. Charles Callahan
was reported on the sick list. and
Michael Ward, who had been i'll. was
reported well. John Fitzgibbons wa
appointed delegate to the Cathohr
Federation instead of Joseph L.
Lehman, whose multifarious duties
and cares preclude his regular at.
tendance at sessions of that bodc
1t was decided to equip the new mill
tary company with swords instead OF
rifles, and to change the name OF
that organization to the Hibernian
knights President Hennessy urged
all the. young men i'm the division
to join the company and attend the
drills. He also urged all the mem
bers who could possibly make it con-
venient to approach the holy sacra-
ment of the eucharist at st. Pat
rick's church on March 10.
The Entertainment Committee re-
ported that il favored giving a higa
class entertainment soon after
Easter, the performers to be chosen
from the best amateur talent in the
city and as far as possible frou
among the members of the four di-
visions and from the Ladies' Aux
iliary. The division approved the
plan and President Hennessy named
the following committee to conduct
all arrangements: Stephen j. Me-
Elliott, David Reilly, c. A. Curtin,
Joseph p. McGinn, John Fitzgibbons,
John J. Barry and Thomas Dignan.
The following names were pro-
posed for membership: Sylvester
Doyle. John Koran, James Sexton, d.
j. Hartnett, Richard Nulloy, Eugene
O'Brien, NJ. j. Collins, Patrick
Flahive, Michael Hogan, John Holmes
and Edward McGarry.
It was the unanimous sense of
those assembled that the County
Board should be urged to hold an
other joint initiation in the near
future. Division 4 now has twenty
five members awaiting the degrees.
John Brown, n hard working mem
Der of Division >, was present, but
declined to make an address until a
later date. 1t is pleasant to note
that old war horses like Thomas
Langan and Thomas Dignan are now
attending regularly.

tional Chaplains. Moreover the
greater number of the divisions
have a parish priest for Chaplain.
The Ladies' Auxiliary, if it excited
at all in 1886, was practically an un-
known quantity for years after. Now
there are branches of the auxiliary
in every State, and i'm some cities
many branches. The ladies' will be
much in evidence at indianapolis this
summer and their national organi-
cation will hold its convention while
the Hibernians are holding theirs
The auxiliary has n membership of
more than $4,000.
Hibernianism is doing a great
work not only for the Irish but for
the church. 4 bond of membership
exists among its members that is
not known in any other purely Irish
Catholic society. lit is recognized as
a power for good. and those in au-
thority encourage membership in the
organization.

PURE ARTICLES
Manufactured in Three Big
Plants of FiirSCh Bros.
Company.

Louisville is coming to the front
as the home of pure food plants. \
model plant is that of Hirsch Broth
ers Company, at the southwest cor
ner of Fourteenth and Grayson
streets. The company manufactures
vinegar, cider, sauces, catsups, mus
tard, pickles and various table condi-
ments. The Louisville plant EN-
ploys 200 people, and so per cent.
of them are Irish and Catholics.
A visitor to the plant is surprised
at the extreme cleanliness to be
found on every hand. Every article
used is of the purest and best. No
refuse matter is allowed to remain
around to ferment and breed disease
germs. The floors are as clean as n
dining room table should be, and
nowhere in the plant is there any
evidence of dirt or untidiness-the
Messrs. Hirsch will not permit it,
The officers of the company are
David Hirsch, Presidents; Ben u.
Hirsch, Vice Presidents; Lon T..
Hirsch. Secretary; Louis II. Hirsch,
Secretary and General Manager. The
business, of course, began in small
way. but such excellent products
were placed upon the market that
the Louisville plant had to be con-
tinually enlarged to it's present pro-
portions. An interesting feature con-
nected with the plant is the en-
ployes' dining room. The company
has furnished and equipped a
spacious apartment, where the POO
employees take their noon day meal
and can enjoy It in comfort.
Hirsch Brothers Company have
two other large plants-one at Pitts
burg and another at New Orleans,
and all are flourishing.

HOW CAMPHoR IS MADE.
Simple Method by Which the oil Is
 Extracted From the Wood

ITO make camphor," said a return ed traveller, you put In chips at one hole. and out of another hole you draw the crude product, in coarse white grains, like salt.
 Wherever camphor trees grow you will find camphor distilleries. They are low buildings of mud brick can be detected two miles off.
 "In each building there are 9 doz- en fires. On each fire Is kettle of boiling water, with a perforated lid. Fitted to the top of this kettle is an iron cylinder, filled with camphor chips of the size of your little finger. Fitted to the top of the cylinder is an empty inverted jar.
 There is your whole apparatus "a simple thing, which works simply. The steam of the boiling water passing up through the cylinder extracts from the camphor wood it's oil This oil, mounting still upward with the stream settles like brine on the sides of the inverted jar at the top This brine when the fire goes out, dries into 2 substance like frost or snow. White and aromatic, the frostlik' substance is the crude camphor. l | Is scraped off the sides of the jar ana refined and pressed into those attrac tive balls and cubes that you buy a high price everywhere "-Louisyill l Courier-Journal
