 Katherine Hampden was alone that evening. She was often alone nowa- days, but not entirely because. as she had told John Dunmeade, she had been assigned a berth on the shelf re- served for unmarriageable females.

tion of MacLin Coun-
cit Sunday.

Mackin Council. Y. NJ. l.. last Sun
day celebrated its nineteenth ami
ersary in a most creditable manner.
Early in the morning the members
assembled at st. Anthony's church,
where an anniversary high mass was
celebrated by the Rev. Seraphin
Schlang, the pastor. and an excellent
musical programme rendered by the
Gregorian choir under the direction
OF Prof. Kollross. Headed by Presi-
dent Frank Adams and James
Shelley, Mackin's first executive, the
many young men who occupied the
center aisle proceeded to the altar
and received holy communion. pre-
senting a very edifying sight. In the
afternoon the members attended sol
emn vespers at st. Cecilia's and lis
tened to an instructive and interest
ing sermon by Rev. Father Conrad,
now acting pastor Of that church. Re-
turning to the club house social
session was held, when every former
President was called to the chair and
delivered a short address congratu-
lating Mackin upon its good fortune
and success. Light refreshments
we're served and it was not until
"girl time" that the happy assembly
dispersed.

HARRY SMHTH.
massachusetts Millionaire
to Make ireland Ills
Home.

From Dublin comes word that
Harry Worcester smyth. a Massa-
chusetts millionaire. cRme to Ire
land a week or two back to see what
the Emerald Isle was like. He has
evidently found the atmosphere, in
spite of its humidity, congenial, for
he has made up his mind to remain.
Harry Smyth is a sport and the
sporting instincts Of the Irish appeal
to him. He loves horses and fairly
revels in following foxhounds, a
species of sport to which the Irish
have always been addicted. He has
already been elected Master of the
Westmeath Hounds, post that can
only be filled by man with a sub
stantial bank balance. What has
surprised him most since his arrival
in ireland is the absence of the mud
cabin which he had learned to re-
gard as an indispensable feature of
real Hibernian landscape. The
popularity OF his friend, Richard
Croker, is also impressing him. He
declares it will be his great ambition
to do everything in his power to att
tract, as Croker does, the admiration
and good will of his Irish friends
and neighbors.

Central Committee Pre-
pairing For an Active
Season.

President John Schalda occupied
the chair at the regular monthly
meeting of the Central Committee,
c. X. of A., held on Friday night of
last week at st. Mary's Hall. Fol-
lowing the routine business State
Secretary Meehan reported the pro-
ceedings of the Henderson conven-
ton as given in these columns last
Saturday. Spirited addresses were
made by Major Gen. Reichert and
President John Keuney, of the
branch in Jeffersonville. They
pointed out that it was now up to
the Louisville knights to get busy
and do some earnest organization
work, as they had now in their midst
the majority of the officers of the
State Council and a Supreme Dele
gate. Others spoke along the same
lines, and it is expected that a series
of public meetings will be arranged
for the near future.
The Central Committee held a
special meeting last night to hear
reports from the Jasper excursion,
which was attended by over 300 and
was in every way a success.

BASEBALL
VIII Become Active Feat
ure of irish Athletic
Life.

In the Emerald Isle there are indi-
cations that baseball will soon be-
come an active feature Of Irish ath-
letic life. Many young men who
cultivated love for the game during
their residence in the United States
and have now come back home are
encouraging the practice Of the
American national pastime in their
respective districts. ]. ]. Flanagan,
the famous hammer thrower, for
merly of the Irish-American Athletic
Club, New York, is endeavoring to
popularize the game in his native
Limerick. II is also making head
way in Cork and Tipperary, where
there are quite a number OF returned
exiles. Hurting is of course the Irish
national game, but It is attended
with so many elements OF danger
that only the most enthusiastic
young spirits care to follow 1t con-
sistently. Baseball. like anything
else that contains a feature OF
American life. will always find pa
irons among Irishmen at home, so
the game stands a good chance OF
commanding popularity. Cricket has
no longer a following among the
young men Of Ireland, while golf
and tennis find patronage only
among a select few. Robert Burke,
Of Neaagh. Tipperary, the well
known San Francisco man, is lending
his support TO the baseball movement
