SOCIAL GATHERINGS

Perhaps one of the most successful
and entertaining children's entertain
ments ever given in this city was
Santa Claus Joy Factory" a cantata
presented Saturday matinee and even
ing at the high school auditorium. for
the benefit of the guest house Those
taking part, except Santa Claus,
were children. The stage was deco
rated with American flags, and at one
side was prettily decorated Christ
mas tree. An orchestra added to the
success of the affair. Miss Ruth
Hadley was at the piano.
The affair was under the direction
of Miss Ruth Yeo, a musician of this
city, assisted by Miss Gladys Bassett
and Mr.. Paul Comstock. Interest in
the little play centers about the dolls
who are awaiting Santa Claus, as they
are to be carried far away from the
Northland to the home of many girls
and boys. Miss Louis Meerhoff as
the Nanny Doll was very good. Ag
mes Reerhoff as the Rag Doll was also
good. Roy Johnson as the Scotch Doll
attracted much attention. He did the
Highland fling so we'll that he was
encored. Marguerite Cox, the Dutch
Doll, and Helen Hill, the Dutch Boy,
sang a pretty duet and gave pretty
Dutch dance. Mark Kennedy was the
Worsted Doll. Walter Maher in the
part of, Jack-in-theBox was very clev-
er. He sang a pretty solo telling
about himself, and how he intended to
make some boy or girl happy. He was
applauded after his number. Glenn
Weist as the Sailor Doll was also no.
ticeable. He has clear voice, and
gives promise for one so young. Paul
Lichtenfels was Mr. Noah, and Louise
Horr, Mrs. Noah. Their costumes
were very quaint. Clara Daub as the
French Doll was attractive. Miss Daub
is a pretty little girl, and with her
attractive costume in green tints made
a pretty picture. Anna Dallas the
Lady Doll, knew her part perfectly and
answered Santa Claus in graceful
manner Charles Robinson was Jack
Frost Mr.. Harry Reeves was Santa
Claus.
Between scenes one and two, Mrs.
Frank Land, a member of the guest
house board, made few remarks,
telling of what the board proposes to
dc. The auditorium was well filled
both afternoon and evening.

GREAT SAINT
Was st. BenIgnus, Who
Wrote s'The Book of
Rights.

The successor Of the Apostle of
Ireland, St. Patrick, in the see of
Armagh, was st. Benignus, who was
the son OF Segnen, a man of wealth
and power in Meath. who had hos
pitably entertained the saint I'm his
journey to the court of the King
Lahavie, In the year 433, and who
was with his family converted and
baptized by Patrick. The Apostle
gave the boy the name of Binen,
which means sweet" for he was a
youth Of amiable temper and disposi-
ton. The boy became very much
attached to Patrick. and he desired
to follow him, but his parents were
unwilling 10 lose him. St. Patrick
told his parents that God had
marked the boy for his own and
they permitted him to go with St.
Patrick, who educated him and
taught him piety as well as learning.
To follow his life here would require
many columns OF space. When st.
Patrick resigned the see OF Armagh
Benignus became his successor. He
wrote a work, partly In Latin and
partly in Irish, on the virtues and
miracles of 81. Patrick; also some
Irish poems and the Munster Book
Of Rights" (Irish Laphar-na 3
Ceart.) st. Patrick prophesied that
Benignus, afterward a saint. would
become HIS successor as Primate OF
all Ireland

THE CALI OF THE BLOOD.

/ have never seen you, Ireland;
My feet have never pressed
The wales and hills, o Sireland,
Where my fathers keep their rest.
Oh. a distant foreign land you are
TO me outside the pale,
But I'm my heart is something call
ing,
Ever calling 10 the Gael;
Yea, the blood of me Is calling to
the Gael
l have cOnned your bitter story,
Aud my heart within has cried;
l have traced your annals, CORY
With the blood OF them that died.
This the story Of an alien land
That draws from me the wall;
Yet In my heart Is something calling,
Ever calling to the Gael;
Yea, the blood OF me is calling to
the Gael.
l may never see you, Ireland;
Your kiss may never feel;
Upon your shore. o Sireland,
'Tis / may never kneel.
Oh. I'm leal TO my Columbia,
With love that can not fail
Yet In my heart Is something calling,
Ever calling TO the Gael;
Yea, the blood of me Is calling to
the Gael.

LITANY.
Translated From the Irish
and Just Brought to
Light.

Recently there was brought to
light a litany of the Irish saints
translated from the Gaelic. It APP
pears that there are a number OF
these litanies, they being subdivided
into diocesan saints. For instance,
st. Malachi is the patron of the
O'Dohertys McCanns, Magulres,
O'Reillys; st. Kyran of the Fitzpat-
rieks. the Brennans, the O'Donag-
hues and Makers, and so on down
the line The litany concludes with
LET ms pray, o holy saints Of Ire
land whose names are still in bene-
dictiOn In the diocese, where in past
ages you exercised spiritual rule
intercede for the children OF Ire
land that they may retain and glory
In the faith which 81. Patrick
preached to their forefathers.
20 holy missionary saints of Ire
land whose names are renowned In
the lands TO which you bore the
torch of faith, intercede for the chill
dren OF Ireland that they may be
enabled to conduce 10 the spreading
OF that ever glorious light and so,
like you. arrive at a happy eternity.

LABOR TROUBLES IN
 WEST VIRGINIA
TROOPS MAY AGAIN, BE CALLED OUT IN THE TROUBLED
 MINE FIELDS.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 9.-Con- ditions in the coal strike district Of Kanawha county are being closely watched tonight by the state authori- ties. Whether militia again is to be sent into the troubled mine fields depends entirely upon the local civil authorities and their ability to keep order. Within the past 24 hours a mine of the Standard Gas Coal com pany, at Standard, w. Va. has been fired; the crew of coal train has been subjected to rifle and dynamite ready to be exploded, has been dis covered under a number of buildings.
 The mine fire is b@rning fiercely tonight and 1t is reported the flames cannot be subdued under ten days.
 At Holly Grove. w. Va, hundreds of shots were fired at the crew of a coal train. None was injured. The shots were fired, it is believed, in an effort to intimidate the railroad men and prevent them from hauling coal from mines where a strike is on
 The strike district has been invad ed twice since last April hy state militia. The last procalmation oi martial law issued by the governor has never been withdrawn. although the soldiers returned to their homes some time ago.

PLIGHT OF BELEAGuERED CITY IS HOPELESS AND suRREN-
 DER A MATTER OF DAYS.
TURKS ARE DESERVING CITY
Porte Still Maintains 1t Will With draw From Conference Before it Will Cede AdrIanople to the
 Balkan States Allies.

London, Jan. 9.-Oficial news re- ceiyed by the Bulgarian delegation describes the situation at Adrianople as desperate. Several soldiers who deserted and succeeded in reaching the headquarters of the allies say the town Is in it's last grasp. Provisions are so scarce that the military au- thorities have requisitioned all the food possessed even by private in- dividuals and are making only one distribution comprising a half ration daily.
 Conditions have been rendered more grave by the great number Of sick who crowd the hospitals where the attendance is inadequate. Thus the death rate is very high The Bulgarians have allowed medicines and red cross workers to enter under escort of Bulgarian detachment. The Bulgarians believe. even inde- pendentiy, of any action, the powers may take the question of Adrianople soon will be solved.
 It is understood Constantinople lhas accepted the views of Rechad Pasha. who recently asked to be authorized to re-convoke the conference he being president for the next sitting. The difficulty now lies in the determi- nation of the allies not to participate unless they are notified in advance what Turkey intends to propose. They do mot wish to reviveTtii1e dis cussion of unacceptable terms but de- sire to have it as a certainty that Turkey is ready to cede what has been pronounced as the irreducible minimum of the allies-Adrianople- after which it will be possible to dis cuss the frontier line, which must leave that town in the hands of the allies.
 In other words, the allies do not wish to play into Turkeys hands by re-entering conference room with out definite program which may lead to definite conclusions of peace this time.
 Before the meeting the Turks and allies must have agreed to the main points of the territorial clauses of the treaty so that official ratifica- tion of these agreements can be had in the conference.
 The dinner given tonight by Paul Cambon, the French ambassador to Great Britian at which the Turks and allies met for the first time on neu- tral ground, is looked upon as an ex- cellentg opportunity for the delegates to take the first step in the direc- tion of an unofficial understanding. It is suggested also that the British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, in his capacity as honorary president of the conference might take the in- itiatye, thereby obviating the necess- ity of either of the parties appearing to make the first advances. This could be accomplished only if the al lies were assured that Turkey was prepared to give up AdTianople.

Constantinople, Jan. 9.-The porte, according to official announcement has sent a circular to the Turkish ambassador abroad intimating that unless the allies accept Turkeys peace proposals by the end of the week the Ottoman delegates will be invited to return to Constantinople immediately The circular adds:
 Whatever happens the porte is determined to maintain it's attitude with regard to Adrianople and the Aegean islands in view oT the fact that sacrifices made in other direc- tions have reached the extreme linn it."
 The foreign ambassador conferred for two hours at the Austrian em- basssy today and agreed upon the form of representations to be ad- dressed to the porte concerning the cession of Adrianople. The task has been entrusted to the Austrian am bassador, Count De Paliavicini, as dean of the diplomatic corps.
 The general opinion here, however, is that any attempt by Europe to coerce Turkey into ceding Adrianople, even if supported by naval demon stration, is doomed to failure because public opinion would not tolerate yielding this point.
