COMPLIMENTED.
Division Z, a. o. u. Hears
Nice Things From
Visitors.

County Presiednt d. j. Coleman
and John Hession, of Division 3,
were welcome visitors at the meeting
of Division 1, A. o. H., on Tuesday
night. President Murphy presided.
Frank Kinney, who had been Ill, was
reported well, and Tim Lyons was
reported i'll. The division ordered
its national assessment paid.
County President Coleman compli-
mented Division 1 on its steady work
and urged all to secure more men,
bers in order to make the parade
next year a great success. John
Hession, one of Division 3's repre-
sentatives on the County Board, ex-
pressed himself as gratified with the
work mapped out by Division 1, and
predicted that the annual celebration
and picnic at Phoenix Hill Park
would surpass all others.
Thomas Keenan,, Sr., made an
urgent appeal for organized work to
secure new members so that Louis
vile would add at least another
thousand to the ranks of the Ancient
Order. Others who made nice talks
along similar lines were Thomas
Lawler and Thomas Dolan.
The matter of securing a set of
moving pictures of Irish scenery was
discussed, but was left open for
further argument.

WEDDING BELLS
Rang MerriIy When Walsh
kieffer Wedding Was
SoIemnized.

One of the prettiest June weddings
at st. Cecilia's church was that
which united Miss Mary Catherine
Kieffer and Austinl e. Walsh on
Tuesday morning. At the ceremony
and high nuptial mass Father Brady
was assisted by Fathers Raffo and
Schuhmann.
The attendants were Miss Lillian
Kieffer, sister of the bride and
William Walsh, brother of the
groom. The ushers were Joseph
Kieffer and Thomas Walsh. The
bride was beautiful in her wedding
gown of white and carried bouquet
of brides roses. The bridesmaid
was equally lovely in white gown
and picture hat. Immediately after
the ceremony reception was held
at the residence of Mrs. Mary Kief-
fer, mother of the bride, after which
Mr.. and Mrs. Walsh left on an eX-
tended bridal tour. They will be at
home to their friends after July 10.
The out-of-town guests included
Miss Mary Walsh, of connellsville,
Ind; Mr.. and Mrs. William Hooker
smith, Miss Blanche Hockersmith,
Mrs. ]. e. Fitzsimmons, Mrs. John
Glenn, all of Bowling Green; Miss

tive to its preparation, and insisted
that the article would have been
written in defense of the Messrs.
Whallen and the Democratic COM
mittee had Mr.. McGrath never ex-
isted.
Attorney Smith asked the dismiss
sal OF Mr.. McGrath, and quoted de-
cisions of the United States Appel
late Court to show that Messrs. Hlg-
sins and Barry had not violated the
law. District Attorney George Du-
Relic made a strong plea for convic-
ton.
Commissioner Cassin dismissed Mr..
McGrath. He held in allegiance his
decision regarding Messrs. Higgins
and Barry until this morning.
To sum 1t all up Daniel e. O'Sul-
Ivan is sore at the Kentucky Irish
American and the Democratic COM
nlittee because It refused to bow to
the McCreary machine on which he
rides. For more than twenty years
he has made wanton attacks on 9TH
els. When he got dose of his own
medicine he few to the Custom
House like a tame turtle dove seek
in6 refuge in its cote.

MADE GOOD.
Athletic Club Holds a Sue
CessfuI Open Air
Carnival.

The grand carnival and open air
vaudeville entertainment given by
the Columbia Athletic Club on Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings was eminently successful. The
fund thus secured will form a
nucleus for a purse that will enable
the society to build its own club
house. The Columbia Athletic Club
is made up of young Catholic men,
nearly all of whom reside in ST.
Vincent de Paul parish. They are
banded together for social, physical
and intellectual Improvement and
have accomplished a great work.
The carnival was held on the
lawn of the club house at 1918
Logan street, and the place was
crowded each might. There were
wheels, refreshments and other at
fractions common to open air car
nivals. William Larkin, William
Martin, Ben Speaker, Ben Beckman,
Charles Geyer and Martin Kramer
We're among the leading comedy en-
tertainers. Miss Regina First won
applause for her execution on the
violin. The little Overmeyer sisters
deserve special mention for their
song and dance turn. Many ex-
pressed the hope that the club would
give another carnival before the
summers end.

Ancient Territory of O'MOores
Divided Into Shire
Grounds.
CONTAINS fine old RUINS

Queens county is almost in the
center of Ireland. With Kings
county II was formed into shire
ground during the reign of Philip
and Mary, and the counties received
their present names In honor of the
King and Queen. Queens county
is thirty-four (miles long and
twenty-nine miles broad. 1t has an
area of 664 square miles and a popu-
lation of 10000 The northwestern
part of the county is mountainous,
hut nearly all the rest is level and
in many places fat. In the noun
tsinous section there are a score or
more of hills between 1,100 and
100 feet high.
Like many other counties in Ire
land, Queens is plentifully watered
At the northeast end of the Sieve
Bloom mountains a number of glens
open out to the northeast, all drained
by rivers, of which those on the west
run to the basin of the Shannon,
and those on the east to the Barrow.
The Barrow itself rises none Of
these, Glen Barrow. Tributary to
the Barrow in Quens county are the
Clenlaban, the Owepass, the Triogue,
the Bouteogue, the Douglas and the
Fushogue rivers. The More, coming
from Tipperary, forms a semi
circular sweep of twenty-four miles
in Queens county and later enters
Kilkenny. Tributary to the More
are the Delour, the Montrath, the
OwenIbeg, the Clough and the Gully
rivers. The lakes in Queens county
are small and unimportant. The
southeast of the county along
the Dysart and Slievemargy hills
possesses a vast deposit of coal, but
the mines have never been worked.
marlborough with a population of
$500 is the assize town. Mount
mellick in the north is an excellent
business town. Portarlington,
Stradbally, Mountrath and Boris
in-Ossory are all thriving little
towns.
The ancient territory of Leix COM
prised almost the entire county. 1t
was the inheritance of the OMoore's,
fighting clan on whose green shield
was emblazoned ''Conlan a-bu"-
victory forever The chief OF the
0Moores lived on the Rock of
Dunamase, three miles east of the
present town of marlborough. 1t is
rock rising precipitously from the
plain, and still containing on its
summit the ruins of O'Moore's
Castle.
The baronies of Portnahinch and
Tinnehinch in the north formed part
OF the ancient Offaly. Portnahinch
harony also formed part of the
ancient territory of Clanmaliere.
ihe baronies of Upper Woods.
Clandonagh and Clarmallagh formed
part of the sub-kingdom of Ossory.
The DUN of Clopook, three miles
south of Stradbally, is high rock,
with an immense ancient dun or fort
occupying the entire summit. About
a mile south OF 1t is another great
rort, that of .Gugacurren. At the
village of Timahoe, where an abbey
was founded by St. Mochua i'm the
sixth century, there is a beautiful
round tower, and also the fine ruin
OF an Elizabethan castle.

Reunion.

Branch 8. c. X. of A.. had a
reunion and booster meeting at St
Martins Hall, Shelby and Gray
streets, on Wednesday evening

Harry A. Veeneman, William T
Meehan, Thomas Bohan, Oscar Maier
and William M. Higgins.
Mr.. Kenney gave detailed argu-
ment ON the rates of insurance in the
Catholic Knights and made his ex-
plantations lucid. He also told of the
stability of the organization, and laid
emphasis on the spiritual as well as
temporal benefits to be derived from
membership on account of the hun
dreds of masses celebrated for the
dead and living members of the
order.
Frank A. Geher made a nice talk
on the necessity of life insurance and
extolled the merits of the c. X. of A.
Rev. Father Bohlsen followed and
told of the past work of the order.
He said it was approved by the
church because it was aiding in
keeping Catholic men together.
Others who made interesting talks
were Thomas A. Bohan and Gen.
Michael Reichert. The session was
enlivened by an abundance of re-
freshments.

GENEROSITY
OF f1lbernians Is Duly
Appreciated by
Clergy.

1t is a pleasure to note that the
Ancient Order of Hibernians Is work
ing hand in hand with the Catholic
Church Extension Society. At the
last national convention of the
A. o. H., held in Portland, Ore, the
Hibernians gave $4,000 toward the
church extension movement. Now
Father Francis C. Kelly, who is Pres
ident of the Church Extension So
ciety in the United States, has
thanked the order in behalf of the
members of the American hierarchy
and priests.
But the meat of his letter of
thanks is contained in this para
graph:
zone proposal has received the
support of the majority of our
Executive Committee, as we'll as of
many Officers of your own order The
proposal is to use your gift as a
permanent fund, to be known as The
Hibernian Fund The total amount
to be raised from the assessment
will probably be a little over
$4,000. This fund can be invested,
and with the interest received each
year we can build chapels. At first
we could build three chapels a year,
later more. All the chapels are to
be given the names of Irish saints,
and are to be erected, as far as pos
sible, where they will minister to the
scattered people of the Irish race in
our country. The society is to keep
this fund separate and to have 1t
form part of its endowment. Every
month Extension Magazine. will pub
lish the full amount of the Hibernian
fund with the names of the chapels
built through it from the beginning.
The fund will be open, too, for con-
tributions from any one interested
in It, as well as for legacies. Thus
people desiring to help the society's
work will have the opportunity of
sending their contributions TO swell
the Hibernian fund, and persons
leaving money to the society may
also leave II for this fund. In time
the fund may become very large and
viii be a standing tribute to the gen.
efosity of both branches OF the
A. o. II. IN America"
The Hibernians are ever generous,
and there is little doubt that the
gift OF $45, 900 will be supplemented
by gifts as equally generous when
ever their treasury permits.

Judge Pollard of Breathitt
Wants to BE Attorney
General.

Judge o. II. Pollard, of Breathitt
county, spent several days in Louis
Vile this week, and while circulating
among old friends made many new
ones, Judge Pollard is a splendid
type of a self-made man. He was
left an orphan and without funds at
a tender age, but with indomitable
courage he worked his way TO the
bench and has arisen to position
of eminence in Breathitt county.
Judge Pollard is candidate for
the nomination for Attorney General,
subject TO the action of the Demo-
cratic party. He Is a tried and true
Democrat and numerous press COM
ments indicate that his candidacy is
meeting with favor among the rank
and file of the party.
Certain IL is that he will have a
big vote In Louisville and Jefferson
county. Wherever he goes he makes
friends. He is an able campaigner
and II he lives long enough will
achieve higher honors than those to
which he now aspires.

physique, standing about six feet
four and weighing in the neighbor-
hood of $50 pounds. He is a man of
magnificent address and fluent and
forceful speaker. A prominent at

mention, and the flower drill by the
intermediate class was beautiful.
