Plans Homegoing of lrishmen in 1910

The plan is to induce the Irish people
from all over the United States to re-
turn to their native land during the
months of July, August and Septem-
ber. 1t Is proposed that the various
Irish organizations, notably the A. O.
H., and the Gaelic league shall take
up the movement and carry it
through Kilkenny does not claim
personal originality for the idea but
he gave it initial impetus and has ta-
ken upon himself the burden of inter
esting Irish societies in the plan.
More than sentimental purpose
animates those who have undertaken
this ambitious task. While the pros-
pect of visit to the old country, at
reduced transportation rates, and in
the glory of midsummer, will form a
leading incentive, the real purpose of
the movement is to stimulate lrisk
industry, Kilkenny has made several
visits to his old home in Ireland and
each time has been impressed with
the industrial possibilities of the coun-
try and the apparent hopelessness Of
improving conditions without organ
lied effort. He takes the position that
the industrial and agricultural re-
sources of Ireland have not been de-
veloped to one-tenth of their capac-
ity. Capital is needed to develop
them and Kilkenny believes that it
will be forthcoming if the Irish people
in this country are given an opportun.
ity to see with their own eyes that
profitable investments can be made

DR.. Leek told story of the great

brothers, Samuel and Christopher
O'Neill, and companion, went to the
OLeary barn on the night of the fire
to steal milk to make whisky punch.
This version of the origin of the
fire, the minister said, was told him
by Andrew Bird, who in 1871 taught

The O'Neill brothers, it was as

Those who partook of the feast,

The bill of fare was gamy from
start to finish, but the most charac-

the diners. The women were in even

with them their full array Of dia-
monds and pearls for the occasion.
The men we're in hunting costume,
