ADJUSTMENTS,
nIhe Prince Of Tonight

Lots of pretty girls in handsome
gowns supported Tom Arnold in The
Prince Of Tonight" at the Grand opera
house last night. The usually large
Keokuk audience assembled to enjoy
this musical comedy which was made
popular here on former occasion by
Henry Woodruff. Arnold was an en-
tertaining star as the Prince and the
three act musical fantasy pleased the
audience. The costumes were attrac-
tive, the scenery beautiful and the
work of the chorus revealed vlyac-
ity that kept the interest In the
show to a keen point from start to fin
ish. There are nearly twenty numbers
in this musical comedy and plenty OF
strenuous work for the chorus. The
college gong is one Of the striking as
we'll as tuneful numbers. The chorus
is accompanied by the various college
wells Of the prominent universities,
and each familiar yell is generally
echoed by some Of the auditors who
know by experience the joys OF col
Ilege days. Mr.. Arnold, himself is a
college man and naturally enters into
the college spirit while portraying the
youth in the above role.
The music is in Joseph l.. Howard's
best vein and the score abounds In
numbers that are whistled, the surest
test of popularity. Among them are,
Her Eyes Are Blue for Yale TO
night Will Never Come Again, Il
Wonder Who's kissing Her Now Il
Don't Want to Marry Your Family,
"Can 1t Be Lover" "The Girls That
Can Never Be Mine "The Best
Thing That Waiter Does is Wait, !"
and Follow the Rainbow Trail. : The
Keokuk audience was well pleased
with THE Prince of Tonight.

INTERESTING
Information From Irish
ConRested District
Boards.

William ]. Duffy, member OF
Parliament for South Galway, has
extracted some interesting lnforma-
tion from the Irish Congested Dis
tricts Board. For the first time
something like plain statement of
the work accomplished under the
act OF 1909 is available for scrutiny.
It appears that up to the first day of
March in this year 553 estates in the
congested districts counties have
been placed in the hands of the
board to arrange terms of purchase.
The price asked by the owners is
about $30,000,00O. Offers for 100
Of these estates have been made, and
by the end of the year the board will
have bought estates at a price ex-
ceeding $16,000,00O. The usual
kind Of warning TO tenants is also
issued. The board announces that
they will negotiate as quickly as
practicable for the purchase of all
suitable estates, and for the rapid
resale of holdings which do not need
alterations. Illegal combinations
against the payment of rent to the
landlord pending the valuation OF
the estate by the board, or the prev
alence of intimidation of any kind,
will delay indefinitely instead of
Fastening the purchase"

SENATOR BRADLEY
Gives England a Hard Jolt
on Panama Canal
Treaty.

Senator Bradley made a virile
speech in the United States Senate
last Monday on the Governments
control of the Panama canal. Utterly
absurd and ridiculous is Great
Britain's Interpretation of the
treaty, said Senator Bradley, who
holds that the vessels of nations
could linger in Panama canal waters
twenty-four hours subject to no in
| reference or regulation by the
United States. The absurdity of this
contention, he declared, would be
proved in time of war. "England's
attitude on the toll question:" SEN
ator Bradley said, reveals a spirit
no more generous than that of the
would-be philanthropist who, upon
his deathbed, directed that all Of his
cattle be slaughtered and the horns,
hoofs and tails only be divided
among the poor and hungry. The
Canal Zone is as much American
property and subject to our control
as is Alaska or the District Of Column
bia. Had the United States thought
for a moment that we could not con-
troll the canal 1t never would have
been built. We never would have
spent 100000, 900 on it, had we not
thought our ships would have
superior right there. Great Britain
did not spend one cent on this great
enterprise, and yet wants to come in
on the ground floor with us after
our courage, manhood and genius
have built the canal and our money
paid for it. What has The Hague to
do with our domestic affairs?" in
quired the Senator. ''The matter of
tolls is not a question for The Hague,
where every country represented
would have a direct interest in the
question and be positively opposed to
us"
A fervid tribute to the enterprise
and genius of the American nation
In making possible this canal was
paid by the Kentuckian. There will
be no trouble over the United States
holding to its sovereign rights over
the.canal zone, he predicted. Eng
land is too wise to raise any trouble
over this question:, he said, 'and
I believe any issues which arise
coufd De ad1usred through GiYpfo=,
matte channels. We seek no trouble,
neither do we ask any nation for
permission to manage our domestic
affairs. The intelligence, the man
hood and the patriotic spirit that
was abroad in this land of ours in
Seventy-six and in 1912 is alive
amongst us today, and will continue
to live, and it was that intelligence,
that manhood and that spirit which
enabled us to do what no other ma
tion in the world could do-build
this great canal"

FIRST FEIS
In the Old Days Was Con.
Nened by the King of
Ireland

The first Irish feis or festival OF
which there is any authentic record
was held in Tara, the site of the pal
acs or the tnfaAss K .;ass uTslls
and was convened by KinS cochy,
surnamed Ollamh Fodia. Ollamh
means a doctor of learning and
Fodla is a poetic name for Ireland.
Ollamh Fodla was high King of Ire
land about 500 B. C. and is consid-
cred to have been the greatest
scholar and statesman produced in
pagan Ireland. The feis in the old
days was more in the nature of a
Parliament. 1t was usually con-
vened by the King of Ireland, and in
its deliberations occupied several
days. Here the laws were promul-
gated and the famous Tailteann
games held. Here Finn MacCumhaill
and Cuhahin performed some of
their greatest deeds of warlike skill,
and at Tara, before King Laoghaire
(now spelled O'Leary). st. Patrick
first spoke of his mission in behalf
of Christianity. After the matters
of state were discussed at the feis
the King distributed prizes to the
story tellers, to the bards and to the
athletes.

SOUVENIR.
interesting Feature Com
nected with Coming
Federation.

The souvenir book containing an
epitome of the history Of the diocese
of Louisville and of Indianapolis
the two oldest in the West, and also
sketches of the various organiza-
tions, their officers and members, as
we'll as a brief history of all of the
parishes in Louisville, is now ready
for distribution, and can be secured
at any of the bookstores at the NOM
lnal price of twenty-five cents a
copy. The book was prepared with
great care by Mr.. Edward Fitzpat-
rick, who is probably the best posted
local writer of Catholic history now
living in the Falls Cities outside of
the ranks of the clergy. The
sketches are written in an entertain
ing as well as instructive way and in
a Catholic spirit which will appeal to
ALL. Unless the Kentucky Irish
American is very much mistaken the
5000 copies printed will be disposed
Of in a few days, and those who
would secure a copy should do so at
once. 1t cost over fifty cents a copy
to print the book, but inasmuch as
the Federation agreed to sell limit
ed number at the lower figure it is
to carry out this agreement. Those
who have seen the book haye ex-
tended congratulations to Mr.. Fitz-
patrick, and all have said that no
one else could have done the work
SO we'll in so short time. The Of
ficers of the local Federation and the
members of the clergy are partic-
ularly well pleased. If it were pos
sible another edition would be is
sued, but this is out of the question
now.
The Federation has opened off
cial headquarters at 304 West JEFF
ferson street, where the book and
other information will be given out.

Over a Thousand Arrivals
at Catholic Summer
School.

More than a thousand arrivals
have been registered at the assem-
bly, at the close of the present week
at the Catholic Summer School at
Cliff Haven, and indications are that

afternoon and evening OF August 8.
The proceeds are for the chapel
maintenance. The bazar is to be

the affair is to be a gala one. The
morning lectures during the week
Just closed were by the Rev. Charles
p. Bruehl, Phi. D., of st. Francis
Seminary, Wisconsin, who delivered
very able series on social reform
and Socialism. The gripping interest
OF the topics filled the auditorium at
each lecture, and the well known
scholar made a profound impression.
For the evening course the speaker
was the Rev. Francis r. Donovan,
s. j., Of New York City, who had as
his subjects "Paris Beautiful" and
Picturesque Ireland" The talks
were In the form Of a travelogue,
illustrated with finely illumined
stereopticon slides, whose artistic
atmosphere was a fine feature of the
series. Golf contests, card parties,
theatricals, field sports. family gath
erlngs and musicales afford delight
full entertainment for all sojourning
at this healthful spot.
