FURRY OF SNOW IN GOTHAM

Special Dispatch 10 The Stai

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK March 17-Thoush st.
Patrck's morning broke bright and clear.
with mild weather conditions and at
tendant sunshine, tho usual snow furry
came along. IL lasted just long enough
to blast the hopes of those who at first
believed the weather man would be left
for once in his forecast of snow f1urries
and colder weather conditions.
1t was a glorious sun which greeted
early risers. and the cool. crisp air and
dry pavements raised hopes of a record
crowd for the annual parade
While the thousands who had enioyed
the early morning sunshine We're disap-
pointed by the unpleasant weather which
later developed. they quickly adapted
their plans to the new conditions and de-
cided to make the best of them One con-
ISOLATION heard on all sides was that there
was nothing new in snow or rain storm
on March IL, and that if today had re-
manned pleasant from sunrise to sunset
1t would be a decided innovation. That
the day would be most uncertain one
was shown when the furry of snow sud
denly died down at few minutes after
10 o'clock, and the sun came out only to
be followed by another dark spell
1t is expected that the parade today
will equal. if not surpass. any witnessed
in the past in honor of Erin's patron. The
organizations which make up the column
have been notified to fall i'm at 30 o. clock.
so that every man may be ready to put
his best foot forward when the music
strikes UP one-half hour later. The
route of the marchers, who start on 9Th
avenue at I'D street. will be north to 10th
street: then east to Madison avenue:
north again TO 126th street. where it will
be east to Suffers Harlem River Park.

CONTEMNS USE OF ENGLISH
REV. n. F. WHITE URGES IRISH
TO USE GALEIC LANGUAGE.

The very use OF the English language
is a sign that you who glory in the tri-
umphs of your ancestors are willing TO
submit to British tyranny" declared Rev.
II. +. White. C. NJ, of Philadelphia in the
course Of an address in the native tongue
of Ireland before the Gaelic Society IN
Carroll Institute Hall last night. HIS
subject was "Oraid Gaedhealach-Tir agus
Teanga" CThe Land and the language.
After speaking Of the mission OF St
Patrick to the Irish nation in the NTH
century Mr.. White told of the great work
of the Irish teachers and missionaries
throughout western Europe during the
middle ages, when, even according TO an
English historian. they were the lumi-
narieS of the western world Wnen the
sun of science had almost set upon IT,
He reminded his hearers that these men
spoke and wrote in their native Gaellc
language, and appealed to all those OF
Gaelic blood to cultivate the language ana
literature of their forefathers. for as the
soul of a people is manifested In It's IAN
guage so the language of a country Is the
soul of the country. and people that mao
thrown away their national language mao
ever preserved their national life. He
quoted Thomas Davis that nation should
be more jealous of its language than OIL
it's boundaries.
The speaker was listened to with close
attention. punctuated by frequent APP
plause, which gave evidence that the old
language was familiar to a large proper
ton of the audience.
Mr.. James Mooney, president of the So
ciety, presided and made the Introductory
remarks, in which he outlined the prog
ress made during the existence of the So
ciety He exhorted its membership to
continue their efforts for the spread Of
Irish fellowship.

In the little hall room four fights
up the tragedian, his thoughts in
the clouds and ignorant of what

his private rehearsal. His resonant
voice filtered through the transom

Love looks not with the eyes,
but the mind
And therefore is winged Cupid
blind"
