SPLENDID
Was Entertainnentln Hon.
or of Rev. Father J.
fitzgerald.

The entertainment last Sunday
night at st. Leo's school hall In honor
Of the sacerdotal jubilee of the jealous
and faithful pastor, Rev. John ]. Fitz-
gerald, which really occurs on Christ
mas day, was an artistic and splendid
success in every way. The hall was
ta%efully decorated and electrically
Illuminated, and over the stage was
suspended the following. "1SS6-A
Priest Forever-1911." Each num-
ber was we'll received and all the boys,
girls, young ladies and young men ac-
quilted themselves in a manner that
reflected great credit on the good Sis
ters who trained them. The numbers
that received most applause were the
firemen, the shamrock drill, the little
funmakers, the minstrel Boy" by
Misses Decoursey, Kuhn and Wright;
the solo and pantamime, "The Harp
That Once Through Tara's Halls" and
the closing chorus, Come Back to
Erin" In the drama patricia, Miss
Decoursey was the star, but Misses
Coomes, Wright, Kuhn, Hays, Newton,
Burnett and Sapp played their parts
most acceptably.
At the conclusion the curtain was
rung up and congratulatory addresses
we're made by Messrs. Schipper and
Joseph Link, who commended Father
Fitzgerald's work for them and theirs
and prayed that he might be spared
them for the next quarter of cen
tury. Overcome with emotion, the
jubilarian thanked those present for
their manifestation Of good will, and
spoke feelingly of the Sisters and
children, who we're a credit to the
parish. The building society, the choir
and organist and priest and people
had worked harmoniously together,
and with the aid of the Sisters the
young minds we're directed to God,
which will make of them good men
and women and the best citizens. Pay
ing a nice tribute to the non-Catho-
lies of Highland Park, Father Fitz-
gerald concluded by wishing for all
an eternal jubilee with God in heaven.
I'm the audience that thronged the
building were number of priests
from the city.

A Brief synopsis Of the Alleged Libel
OF OHce-Seeker O'SuIli- y
van.
TRIAL SET FOR MARCH IL NEXT

Another chapter in the alleged
libel case OF Dan O'Sulhvan against
Messrs. william M. Higgins and
John j. Barry, editors and publishers
of the Kentucky Irish American
was enacted when on last Monday al
Bowling Green the Federal grand
jury, in session with Judge Walter
Evans and District Attorney Judge
DuRelle, of this district, presiding
an indictment was returned against
Messrs. Higgins and Barry on the
charge of violating the postal laws
The case was submitted to the Louis
Vile Federal grand jury in October
they failing to indict; then 70 the
next Federal grand jury at Owsns-
boro, who also failed to indict; then
to the Federal grand jury at Paducah
with the same result, and finally
submitted to the last grand jury at
Bowling Green, they bringing in the
above indictment. News of the In
dictment was not known here until
Thursday morning, when Messrs.
Higgins and Barry were notified by
a friend, and went to Marshal
George w. Longs office in the Gus
tom House, executing bond for $500
each, with Frank McGrath as surety.
The trial will take place in the local
United States court on March IL.
The first chapter in this alleged
libel case dates from April OF the
present year, when Dan O'Sullivan,
ex-owner of the Critic and O'Sulli-
vans Opinion, both now in the news
paper graveyard, published signed
card in the Louisville Herald attack
ing the Whallen brothers, who had
Just announced their retirement
from politics, and the personnel OF
the present Democratic City and
County Committee, also calling on all
the present office-holders in the
untoy Hall and Court House to re-
lgn on the ground that they were
Dereatures of the Whallens. One
edifying feature of his article was
that "the local Democratic commit
tee smelled to high heaven with the
fumes of cheap whiskey and stale
beer"
In its very next issue the Kentucky
Irish American answered O'Sullivan
and published a brief sketch of his
career, showing that in eight years
Of his life he had drawn $lS,SOO
under Democratic administrations,
and from a sense OF gratitude, II
nothing else, should have hesitated
about airing his opinions OF the
Democratic leaders in Republican
paper. The Kentucky Irish Ameri-
can, as a Democratic newspaper and
friend of the men assailed, saw lit
