LOVERS OF IRISH MUSIC
GATHER AT NEW WILLARD
Lecture Before Gaelic Society by
Mrs. C. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Ireland's Melodies.

Mrs C. Milligan-Fox lectured before
the Gaelic Society of Washington at the
New Willard last evening. About four
hundred persons. lovers of Irish music
gathered to listen to it's leading exponent
Yankee Doodle was stolen from q
wild, fantastic Irish war march Of the
fourteenth century, according to Mrs
Fox, who is secretary of the Irish Folk
Song Society of London. II can't &C
count for the plagiarism, but it is there
consciously or unconscious1y. The march
1 refer to is called 'O'Donnelrs March.
1t is one of the most weird but tuneful
of the older Irish melodies
Interspersed With Music.
The lecture was interspersed with songs
and piano selections of the original
marches as near as it was possible to in
terpret them. Several harpers' songs
aroused the audience to a high pitch OF
enthusiasm.
On introducing the lecturer Vice Presi-
dent Alexander Mcneil of the society
paid tribute to her work and quoted
from the Irish poetess, Miss Eleanor r
Cox
ITO any one boasting the merest ac-
quaintance with Irish history and char
acter," Miss Cox wrote, lit is a tru-
ism to say that. music has been one OF
the most potent forces in the preserva-
ton of our national spirit. While with
religion and learning it shared through
long centuries the ban laid upon every
higher aspiration of our race. it was far
too fundamental a part of the national
character to be ever wholly eclipsed.
Even when words were half forgotten,
the old airs, deathless reminder of a
Drawer, better time, remained.
Known as Gaelic Revival.
Now in that resurrection of everything
most finely Irish which men call the
Gaelic revival loving effort is being
made to collect the sweet fragments OF
song. to wed them to their ancient airs
and to reconstruct through them the life
of which they were the fruit and flower
We have among us the one whose
work in this neglected garden has al
cessful. This is Mrs. c. Milligan- Fox,
who, as founder and secretary of the
original Irish Folk Song Society. is seek
ing to establish it here on the same firm
footing it now holds on the other side
of the Atlantic. Associated with her in
the work is her sister, Miss Alice Mil
ligan.''
Having started a branch of the Irish
Folk Song Society in Philadelphia, 1t is
Mrs. Fox's intention to continue the
work by founding branches here and in
New York and Boston. Mrs. Fox has in
her possession a collection of ancient
Irish music which was first published in
1896
