ANNIVERSARY
And Happy Reunion of
Catholic knights and
Ladies'.

Branch 2 Of the Catholic knights
and Ladies of America celebrated its
twenty-first anniversary Wednesday
night with happy reunion of its
members, a reunion that brought to-
gether many of the first members
of the order in this city, among
whom were noted John B. Stickler,
DR.. William B. Doherty, Miss Mary
Sheridan, Magistrate P. T. Sullivan,
John Hession, John J Score, Thomas
keenan,, Mrs. Mary Clines, Mrs.
Dave Welch, Dan ]. Dougherty and
Thomas Henley, the first Supreme
President.
Patrick Ho1ley, the first and only
President this branch has known, in
welcoming the hundreds present said
II was gratifying to see so many
present to participate in the ami
versary celebration Of st. Patrick S
branch, whose good work had done
so much to keep the Catholic
Knights and Ladies in the front INK
of our fraternal and charitable or
ganizations. Miss Mary Sheridan,
who also had been an officer for
twenty-one years, reviewed the work
of the branch in detail, which was
interesting and revealed the fact
that nine of the eighteen signers of
the charter were still active mem
bers.
Secretary James Coleman spoke at
some length on the duty of men,
bers, upon whom rests the life of the
society, and declared there was not
locality in the city that had not
been benefited by the knights and
Ladies. DR.. William B. Doherty
after stating the causes that led the
Iamented Gran w. Smith and others
to found the society, delivered the
most forcible and eloquent address
Of the evening. paying high tribute
to the women members, who here
are on an equality with the men.
Others called upon were John B.
Stickler, who now holds the third
and oldest certificate, and Thomas
Henley ad William NJ. Higgins.
A delightful feature of the even
ing was the musical programme,
which consisted of piano solos by
Miss Mary Clines and Miss Mary
Butler and vocal numbers by Miss
Mary Corcoran and Dougherty
keenan, that were warmly applauded.
At 10 O'Clock all were invited to
partake of a dainty luncheon, when
only one expression was heard-that
all might live and help celebrate the
silver jubilee of Branch 2.

IRISH TREES
Presented to Mrs. Taft
FOR White House
Grounds.

There are to be some Irish trees
on the White House grounds. coming
from the estate Of the knight of
Kerry on the island of Valencia.
They are the gift 10 Mrs. Taft of
friends who have been visiting in
Ireland, and they are cuttings from
three Of the largest and oldest flow
ering trees in the world. One is
from the fuchsia tree. long past a
century old and two and half feet
around; another is from an oleander
which 200 years ago was trans
planted from an island in the Ionian
Sea, and the third is from an
acacia tree, which towers over oaks
and sycamores and is a mass OF pink
feathery blossoms in July. All the
cuttings have been rooted and II is
believed that they will thrive in the
soil OF the White House grounds,
where trees are especially cared for.

Decrease of Negro Population
Will Surely Add to Their
Misery.
Republican Assessments Mar
rowed Down to Custom
y House Employees.
HALDEMAN PAPERS SUPPORT

The glorious victory of the Demo-
cratic party in the city and State
last Tuesday, which resulted in the
election of James B. McCreary as
Governor and our own Edward j.
McDermott as Lieutenant Governor,
with the entire State ticket, not only
proved a crushing blow to the
Republican party here, but judging
from present appearances and the
outlook, will likely prove death
blow to the G.. o. p. in Kentucky.
Even II the election returns were
not sufficient to cause their leaders
to give up hope, the Official statistics
of the Census Bureau given out on
Thursday caused further dismay.
The census figures show that the
negro population decreased 23,050
since 1900, or 81 per cent. of the
entire negro population in Kentucky.
In addition to this the result forever
removes Kentucky from the list Of
doubtful States and eliminates any
chance of the National Republican
Campaign Committee sending any of
the funds which they gather from
the trusts into this State for the
hungry Republican workers, as
these campaign managers know
there is no chance for the Republi-
can party to secure Kentucky's cleo
toral vote, and therefore will not
care to waste their shekels here.
With the Democrats in control of
the City Hall, Court House and
State administration the Republican
office-holders in the Post-office and
Custom House are the ones who will
have to bear the brunt of large
campaign assessments next year, and
as a great many of them see the
handwriting on the wall they will
balk at contributing to a losing
cause.
The fact that the Democrats car
ried every district in the State with
the exception of the Eleventh was
surprise to a great many of the
Democrats themselves, despite the
fact that the Eleventh gave a
measly majority of $1,000 to the
Republicans, when Chairmen Lang
ley and the Evening Post were
claiming 1t confidently by anywhere
from $4,000 to 10000. This they
firmly believed on account of carry
| ing 1t two years ago by $4,000, and
with four special trains of speakers
and six picture shows covering the
district they could not see anything
but an enormous majority. Follow
Ing are the majorites by districts:

GRIM REAPER's CALL.

Another popular man was called
to his reward last Saturday, when
James Winn succumbed to a brief
illness at his home, 1919 South
Sixth street. A man of unusual
merits, his loss is keenly felt by a
wide circle of friends and associates
in st. Louis Bertrand's parish, OF
which he had been devout and prac-
tical member. Few men OF the city
were better known or more popular
than James Winn. His pleasant dis
position and gentlemanly conduct
won many friends for him, friends
who now deeply mourn his death.
Surviving him are his sister, Mrs.
James Duane, and two brothers,
Thomas and John Winn, and his
cousin, Col. Matt ]. Winn, President
OF the Louisville Jockey Club. The
funeral took place Monday morning
from ST. Louis Bertrand's church
with a solemn mass OF requiem for
the repose OF HIS soul.

O'CONNELL.
Becomes a Cardinal With
out Having Been Par
ish Priest.

The Most Rev. William H. O'Con-
nell became Archbishop of Boston in
1907 following the death of Mon
signor John Joseph Williams, dean
of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of
America. Only forty-seven years
old at the time, he was the youngest
Archbishop in America and head of
the archdiocese in which only twelve
years ago he had labored as an as
sistant priest in a slum parish, with
little prospect of immediate advance
'ment to anything greater than the
rectorship of small parish. Alone
of all the Archbishops in America
Monsignor O'Cennell has never been
parish priest. Monsignor O'Con-
nell was born in Lowell, Mass, in
1859. He studied at Boston College,
and was ordained a priest in Rome
in 1884. He returned to Boston two
years later, and servai as assistant
until 1895, when he went back 20
Rome. He was Rector of Boston
College at that time.
He was consecrated Bishop of
Portland, Maine, in 1901, and in
1907, following the death of Mon
Boston. He is a vigorous and at
tractive public speaker, and prom
inent socially. He is a member of
the leading Boston social club, Of
one of the golf clubs, and uses An
automobile. He is reputed to be the
best-dressed ecclesiastic in Boston.
Bishop O'Connell learned while on
visit in Rome that the Pope in
tended sending an envoy to Japan
at the conclusion of the Russo-Jap-
arese war, and foreseeing the posi-
bilties that America would end the
war and an American be chosen for
the position, he began the study of
the Japanese language and mastered
it, When the right time came he
was appointed an envoy.
Concerning Col. Roosevelt's action
in Rome in not meeting Pipe Plus
x, in the spring of 1910, 1t was
Archbishop O'Connell who called Col.
Roosevelt's action "insulting and in
violation of his principle of a
square DEAL" The Archbishop
also said that John Callan O'Laugh-
lin, who had endeavored to nego-
tiate with the Vatican, had played
the part of "Judas," and that he
was the "sort of Catholic that we
are ashamed Of"

FARLEY.
New American CARDINALS
Native of Emerald
Isle.

Cardinal John M. Farley, for six
teen years a Bishop and for nine
years Archbishop of New York, was
born in REORGANIZATION, County
Armagh, Ireland, on April 20, l842.
He was educated at Macarten's Col
lege, Monaghan; st. Johns College,
Fordham, N. Y; st. Joseph's Sem
mary, Troy, and afterward at the
American College at Rome. He was
ordained priest in the historic
Church of st. John Lateran in Rome
in June, 1870, and came back I'M
mediately to this country to be as
sistant priest at st. Peters church,
New Brighton, s. /. For two years
his experiences were those of the
ordinary young parish priest, and
then he attracted the attention OF
Cardinal McCloskey. He was ap-
pointed in 1872 Secretary to the
Cardinal, and from that time his
abilities marked him out for promo
ton. During the twelve years he
held a position in the Cardinals
palace he was learning the secrets OF
ecclesiastical statesmanship, which
have since stood him in such good
stead, but he also found time for
parish work. He was rector for many
years of the large and important
Church of st. Gabriers, and thus
came in close touch with the daily
needs of the poorer class OF Roman
Catholics, and acquired invaluable
experience.
In 1884 Father Farley was made
a Monsignor, and seven years later
was appointed Vicar General Of the
archdiocese of New York. He was
created a Domestic Prelate to- the
Pope in 1892, and Prothonotary
Apostolic three years later. The
same year he was consecrated an
Auxiliary Bishop, with the title OF
Zeugma, and in 1902 he succeeded
Archbishop Corrigan in the arch
diocese of New York. Two years
later he was advanced to the further
Papal dignity of assistant at the
Pontifical throne.
The Archbishop has from time to
time made public utterances of great
weight. In 1905 he expressed his
.trong ebhorrence of the prevalence
OF the divorce evil, and last year,
when the misunderstanding arose
which prevented ex-Vice President
Fairbanks from being received by
the Pope, he stood up manfully for
the rights OF the Holy See. Only a
few weeks ago His Grace made an
other notable utterance at the un-
yelling OF the memorial to Gov.
Dcngan at old st. Peters church,
when he expressed the opinion that
the Catholics had the right to expect
that before long one OF their num-
Der should be elected Mayor of the
city or Governor of the State.
