| Pueblo, Sept. 2s.-The greatest meet
ing of Irishmen that ever assembled in
Pueblo, together with the most vigor-
GUS addresses on Ireland, made the
meeting of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians held in this city Thursday
evening one that marks an epoch in
the history of the city.
! The principal address of the eve
ming, however, was made by Hon. John
B. McGauran Of Denver.
"The history Of Ireland is told in her
ruins. in her faith. in her sufferings.
in her music and in her literature.
1--WE venerate her ruins because they
remind us of Irelands golden age
when Irish scholars carried the light
of Christian civilization into every
land of Europe. 1t was then that the
first great Irish exodus began. The
Goths and Vandals had destroyed the
Roman civilization, but Ireland, far to
the west. had escaped their ravages.
1T would seem as if in the provi-
| dence of God that Ireland should have
been saved from the devastating flood
that overran Europe in order that
Christianity might survive. It was in
Ireland that the literature of Greece
and Rome was preserved when the
barbarians from the north had oblit-
Grated it on the continent"
| The speaker then told of the Irish
scholars and missionaries work dur
| ing the golden age.
Remember that your order was
founded when IT. took guards to watch
the cave in which the priest was say
ing the mass. the Hibernians were his
guards those days, and remember to
be his guards today. Guard the order,
help to propagate the faith and never
be ashamed that you are Irish."
The next convention of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians and the Ladies'
Auxiliary, will be held at Norfolk, Va,
beginning the third Tuesday of July.

TENDER %. The first degree was ex-
| emrlified by the degree team from
! Kansas City, Kan. The second and
third degrees were exemplified by the

| 1t is with interest that we read from
week to week of the newly organized
divisions, of all the good times, well
attended meetings. etc., of the differ
ent divisions of the L. A. A. o. H. in
Seattle, but will say that the Everett
Division has not been lacking in any
of the enthusiasm shown by the Seat
tie divisions. 80

attended meetings and just closed a
spirited contest for obtaining new
members. Sisters Hatchell and Rain
ey We're the leaders and the result was

and card parties during the latter part
of the summer, the proceeds to go to-
