MACKIN COUNCIL
Interest increasing In Pro-
posed Gym6asIunl
Building.

Another large attendance and
good receipts marked the meeting of
Mackin Council this week, when two
more applications were received and
the sick members were reported i'm
proving. SO great has become the
interest in the proposition to build
gymnasium that its consideration
has been made a special order for the
first meeting in February. In this
connection Louis J. Kiefer. physical
instructor for the gymnasium class,
called upon those who desire to par
ticipate in the March athletic meet
and carnival at the Armory to report
within the next few days. For next
Monday night the Literary Society
has arranged debate that will prove
interesting. and in addition James
Shelley will relate his experiences
during twenty years as a salesman on
the road. The social club announces
that the last of its winter series OF
dances would take place on January
30. when all members and their
friends would be welcome. During
the evening a number OF members

ChIcaRoans viii ReVo1u-
tionize Industry In
Irish Pork.

A syndicate headed by a couple of
Chicago men is in process of forma-
ton in the West of Ireland, which, il
is believed, will go far to revolution
ize the Irish pork industry in Great
Britain. The men in question are
George J. Coleman and Edward c.
Mcdonald, who claim to have quite a
UNIQUE experience of the business
gathered in the Chicago stockyards
and the other 7piaees ti5Toug hssgs-tifer
American continent. The scene of
their operations will be the city of
Galway, where they propose to set
up a modernly equipped factory
which will be capable of handling
anything from 10000 to $4,000 pigs
annually, and the main object will
be cheap and rapid production, which
will have the effect of considerably
reducing the price. The promoters of
the scheme have been trying for a
long time to understand the eco
nomic considerations that prompt
the Irish people to send their pork
and bacon abroad, while they an
nually import thousands of tons of
meat from the United States and
other places. The experiment of en-
deavoring to keep Irish bacon in the
land of it's origin and oust the for
eign product will be watched with
some anxiety by the Irish industrial
revivalists

HOLY NAME
Lexington Men Appealed to
by Father Clement
BockIaRe.

A large and appreciative audience
heard the Rev. Clement Bocklage, of
Carrollton, in a forcefm address be-
fore the members of the Holy Name
Society of ST. Peters church, Lexing-
ton, Sunday evening. Taking for his
text the words of Scripture, How
wonderful is thy name on earth, o
Lord" the speaker dwelt upon the
prevalence of swearing among men,
and the growing habit among youths
of the land to indulge in blasphemous
language. He said that the purpose
of the Society Of the Holy Name was
to suppress this growing irreverence
and to increase the veneration of the
world for the name OF God. Father
Bocklage spoke of how the learned
men OF the church had written OF
the beauty and sweetness of the
name Jesus" which in itself means
mercy, and at the pronunciation OF
which all heads should bow, and ex-
horted the members TO enlarge their
membership and to continue the good
work. which in the short history OF
the society has had such good In
fluence on the members and those
with whom they associate. Special
music for the service was sung by
Miss Margaret Benchart. Miss Louise
Keller, SIgnor Amato and Ferdinand
Keller and the choir. the services
were concluded ith's'bmedietion,
Rev. W. T. Punch officiating.

the most largely attended social
function that has taken place In
Frankfort social circles this winter.

a very substantial sum was realized
for the proposed new school for boys,
work upon which will begin in the
early spring.
At a recent meeting OF the knights

the Sisters Of the Good Shepherd
since they first landed at the Port
land wharf in Louisville nearly
seventy years ago. They had no
home to go to, and were cared for
by the Sisters of Loretto at their
convent in Cedar Grove. When they
rented house the landlord refused
to let them move in when he learned
the character of work they we're to
undertake, to wit, lifting from the
mire of degradation women who are
feared and stunned by society and
of whom our Saviour said:
"Neither will I condemn thee; go
now and sin no more"
OF all the orders in the Catholic
church the Sisters of the Good Shep-
herd undertake the most disagreeable
part. Accounts Of their labors never
appear in the public prints. The in
mates are forbidden to give their
names to their fellow penitents, and
their real names are only known 10
the Sister Superioress.
The work has always appealed 10
the editor Of the Kentucky lrlsh
American as being heroic. Notwith-
standing their noble deeds in behalf
of fallen women the Knownothings
insulted these good Sisters in 1853,
and agsin in 1894, during the A. F..
A fiasco. In the latter crusade the
editor of this paper was threatened
with a libel suit because he de-
nounced the insectiverous A. 7. A.
cohorts who dared insult these good
women by demanding admission 10
their convent for pretended inVesu-
CATION Of their work.
II was the foresight OF that
sanity man, Benedict Joseph Flaget'
first Bisbop of Louisville, whlch
brought the Sisters of the Good Snep-
herd to Louisville. While traVellhg
in France he had an opportunity OF
witnessing their work at Anglers, ana
he induced the Superioress General
TO send five Sisters here. When the
good Bishop died he was buried IN
the graveyard in the convent grounds
and his remains reposed there until
removed to the Cathedral of the As
sumption. The Louisville Sisters hold
in veneration the name OF Flaget.
Bishops Spalding and McCloskey
also appreciated the work OF the
Sisters. as does the present Right
Rev. Bishop O'Donaghue. Bishop
McCloskey visited the Sisters every
Sunday while in the city during his
lifetime and such was the custom OF
his predecessor, Bishop Martin John
Spalding.
Mother Mary Of the Compassion is
rhe present Superioress OF the con-
vent at Eighth and Madison streets,
and she has also undertaken the
work of building the new monastery.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd
never ask for anything. They try to
make their work self-sustaining,
which they often do, but how they
are to build a new monastery without
more assistance than they have been
receiving is past our comprehension.
MAY success attend them. and may
the charitably disposed help them.
Nothing has been said in this
article about the Bank street con-
vent of the Good Shepherd, which Is
lflourishing greatly, the purpose be-
ing to draw attention to the ex-
tension of new charity just about to
be inaugurated. To write of the
work of the Sisters in Louisville
during the seventy years of thetI
llabors would require many columns
that would fill this paper, but from
time TO time the Kentucky Irish
Irish American will call attention to
their work.

/ Postmaster General Hitchcock has
ordered that Postmasters be advised
that parcel post packages cannot be
accepted for mailing unless they bear
a distinctive parcel post stamp and
have attached to them the return card
of the sender. A series of distinctive
stamps is now in course of prepara-
ton for this class of mail as required
by the law creating the parcel post
system. Consignments of these
stamps will be reAdy for shipment to
all postofices in ample time for the
establishment of the new system on
New Years day.
The postofice department has given
instruction to every postmaster in the
country TO enlighten his patrons as
much as possible on the general sub
feet of the parcel post and especially
on the use of the special stamps and
the necessary attachment of the re-
turn card. The law requires that all
-fourth-class matter mailed a-ter jan
uary 1, 1913, without parcel post
stamps attached shall be treated as
Held for postage" matter. Parcel
post packages will be mailable only
at postofices. bran nch postoffices, let
tered and local named stations, and
such numbered stations as may be
designated by the postmssters.
It has been announced by Postmss-
ter General Hitchcock that nearly TO-
GOO scales will be required for use in
the parcel post system which is to go
into effect January 1st He has &C
cordingly authorized the issuance Of
bids for that number Two hundred
Of the largest postofices and their
branches will be supplied with auto
matte springless scales. The next
class of offices. numbering about 10.-
900. will be given high grade beam

numbering about $4,000. will be fur
nished with the best spring balances
obtainable. each having a capacity for
twenty pounds. These scales will be
used by postmasters to determine the
amount Of postage required on parcel
post packages. The fact that many
Of the postoffices Of the country are
now furnished with scales Of limited
capacity makes It necessary for the
postmaster general to make this very /
large purchase Of scales capable OF I
taking care OF the parcel post bust
