Irish Arts Exhibition.-The travel
ing exhibition of Irish arts sent to
this country by the Gaelic League of
Ireland visited Newport last month.
The display was located in a pagoda
on Easton's Beach and was tastefully
laid out with the old clan banners of
Ireland in the background. 1t attracted
much attention among visitors at the
beach. The exhibition is under the
direction of Miss Nellie O'Brien,
granddaughter of William Smith
O'Brien, the Irish leader of '48. She
is assisted by Miss Teresa Halpin of
Limerick, Ireland, and Miss Anna
Cassidy of Donegal. The idea of the
Gaelic League in holding these exhibit
tons is to give the American public
realistic glimpse of what it is doing
in Ireland to revive the artistic and
industrial life of the nation which
had become atrophied owing to I'M
sympathetic alien administration.

For Catholic lmmgrants.-An or,
ganization which promises to become
of great service to Catholics has just
been established in San Diego under
the name of the Catholic Protectory
and Information Bureau. At the
preliminary meeting all the Catholic
parishes of San Diego were repre-.
scented. The purpose of the organi.
zation is to aid Catholic immigrants
from Europe and intending settlers
from other parts of the country, after
the opening of the Panama Canal, in
securing reputable agents with whom
to deal, and temporary abiding places
in which honesty and morality may
be guaranteed. The bureau, in
furtherance of it's work, is to proceed
along the lines of similar Catholic or
CARNATIONS in the cities of New York
and San Francisco. All the Catholic
clergy of San Diego County were
elected honorary members of the or
ganization.
