Colonel Smyth.
Colonel Smyth afterwards COM
manded the Irish Brigade and was the
last Union general officer who was
killed in the war, having been shot i'm
skirmish two days before the sur
render of Appomattox. Col. Patrick
O'Rorke saved Little Round Top from
being captured by the Confederates in
a decisive moment of the desperate
fight, and thereby sacrificed his life
He was young Irishman who after
brilliant course at West Point in the
class of 1861, went Immediately to the
seat of war and was soon recognized
as one of the most promising officers
in the army. While leading his men
in defense of Little Round Top, when
it was being fiercely assailed by Pick.
ett's foremost line, he caught up the
colors in the very crisis of the battle
and mounted a rock to urge on his
men. He was struck and fell dead.
but his company held the position.
Comte de Paris, who speaks of this as
the most striking and dramatic episode
of the battle, paid tribute to his hero
ism. General O'Rorke's young widow
became religious of the Sacred Heart
in New York, and proved one of the
most efficient of that accomplished
company of educators.
General Meade.
Gen. Judson Fitzpatrick, Sd Division,
and Gen. James Longstreet, the Con-
federate commander who advised
Pickett's charge, became Catholics
after the war. General Meade, the
victor of Gettysburg, had been bap-

practice in the lamentable Philadel.

was not brought up in the Catholic

Mr.. MICHAEL CONNER

In our last issue by an oversight
the death of Mr.. Nicholas Conner was
announced. The later report cor
rected this, as it was his brother, Mr..
Michael Conner, who died. The de-
ceased was manager of the Catholic
Printing Co., of Dubuque. He leaves
a widow and two daughters, Mary
and Anna. He was a gentleman of
sterling character and tireless energy,
and the Catholic Press loses in him a
devoted worker. Our condolences to
the relatives whom he has left.

MADISON CONTEST
Comments on the Liquor Ii
cense Election Case.

A Sioux Falls correspondent of the
Sioux City journal makes the follow
ing comment on the Madison contested
liquor license election case:
The action of Judge Jones, of the
state circuit court in this city, in
denying the motion of the defendants
in the now famous case involving the
granting of saloon Licenses at Madison
leaves the case in exactly the came
| status as before the defendants made
the motion asking that the contest in
| stituted by the license element be dis
missed. The license element contends
that on the face of the returns at the
April election license carried in
| Madison by a few votes. However,
upon advice of the city attorney the
| city commissioners declared the city
dry at the time of the official canvass
of the vote following the election.
The license element may now seek to
| press the contest fol- early trial before
Judge Jones, 80 that If it Is determined
that the city commissioners weIe in
error and should have declared that
license had won the final decision 10
the case may be rendered before July
1. so licenses for saloons may be issued
| at that time. The dry element propos-
es to continue the fight to keep Madi-
son dry during the coming year and
| the legal battle over the contest will
be a hot one from this time on.
