Ancient Order of Hibernians

and in June they received the fol-
lowing instructions, to wit:
Brothers, Greeting-Be it known
to you and to all it may concern,
that we send to our few brothers in
New York full instructions with our
authority to establish branches of
our old society in America. The
qualification for membership are:
First-All members must be Rom
an Catholics and Irish or Irish de-
scent. and of good moral charac-
ter. and none of your members shall
join in any secret society contrary to
the laws of the Catholic Church, and
at all places your motto shall be:
FRIENDSHIP, UNITY AND TRUE
CHRISTIAN CHARITY"
1t was about seventy-two years
ago that the A. o. H. was introduced
into the United States from Ireland.
Since then it has made great pro-
gress.
The Order has always stood as the
ardent, jealous and unselfish advo-
cate and friend of the Catholic
Church, for which Divinely fostered
institution the early founders of the
Order in Ireland, centuries ago, gave
their lives and their substance.
While embracing many of the fea-
lures of other Catholic fraternities, it
antagonizes none, having as it's great
est features the unification in one
grand whole of all Irish Americans
of Catholic faith, and the preserva-
tion of the language, customs, his
tory and traditions of the Irish peo-
pie. Hence in it's field it is unique
and should be joined by every man of
Irish birth or descent who is proud
of his nationality and who desires to
see perpetuated the distinctiveness of
the Irish race.
The keystones of the arch of Hi
bernianism are Friendship. Unity
and True Christian Charity trim
ity of ideals which, followed by every
man, would convert earth into a par
adise and bring about the millennium.
AS far as practicable, subject to the
weakness of human nature. the Or
der lives up to these three ideals, and
by so doing has accomplished good
beyond the power of pen to depict
in every community where it exists,
and has elevated the standard and
character of Irish American manhood
and gives constant evidence of it's
belief in Christian ideals as taught
by the Catholic Church.
The motives that prompted the
formation more than two hundred
years ago of our grand organization
was love of faith. country and edu-
cation, the protecting of their be-
loved clergy and schoolmasters from
the cruel prosecutions of their OPP
pressors. when the same reward was
offered for the head of wolf, priest
or schoolmaster; when the priest
was obliged to meet his little flock
and minister to them under cover
of the night.
To those times and to those condi-
tions the Ancient Order of Hiberni-
ans can proudly trace it's origin, and
for loyalty to faith, country and ed
ucation it has always stood, and with
Gods grace will always stand.

THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT
ORDER OF HIBEsNIANS.

THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT
ORDER OF HIBERNIANS.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians.
as it's name indicates, is society
composed exclusively of Irishmen by
birth or descent, and practical
Roman Catholics, organized in Ire
land for the preservation of the
Catholic Church and the protection
of the priest and schoolmaster, who
were hunted like wolves, with price
set upon their heads and of those
who would grant them shelter or
refuge. There has been a great deal
said as to when and where the An
cient Order of Hibernians was first
organized. Some authorities place
it at 1912, when Pope Urban the
Eighth sent his blessing to the Irish
people and encouraged them in their
fight for God and country. Again.
it is given as 1851, in Connaught.
after Cromwell's infamous edict of
ITO hell or to Connaught. The
History of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians is practically the history of
Ireland. According to MacGeoghe-
gan's and Mitchell's. Wright's, Leek-
ey's, O'Holleran's and Robinson's
History of Ireland, it was organized
in 1866 by one Rory Oge O'Moore
in the County of Kildare, Province
of Leinster. 1t was then that Rory
Oge O'Moore organized the Defend
ers. He made arrangements with the
clergy to erect crude affairs in the
mountain Businesses, and there have
the people attend the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass.
Rory sent out trusted men to in
form the Catholics of the country
where the priest would read the next
mass. He placed sentinels on the
hill-tops to give warning to the peo-
ple Of the approach Of sacriligious
intruders.
They found a place to shelter the
hunted priest. Sometimes 1t would
be in an isolated cabin in the noun
tain glens. but often it would be

in the cold and dismal caves in the
mountains.
Branches sprung up all over the
northern and western parts of the
country. They were known by diff
ferent names, such as Tories, Rap
perees, Defenders.
The Defenders continued under
different leaders from the death of
Owen until they became a part of
an oath-bound organization, known
as the Confederation of Kilkenny. In
1641 the prelates and laymen of the
Church issued proclamation calling
upon all Catholics to take the oath.
In 1912 the Defenders lost their
identity as national organization.
They became part and parcel of the
Confederationists. but as an organi-
cation they continued to hold to-
gether.
In 1745 the Catholics were grant
ed the right of public worship.
Priests and Friars went around un-
molested, enjoying freedom they
were denied for over a century.
In 1911 the Steel Boys made their
appearance in the north of Ireland.
They were the predecessors of the
Orangemen. In 1880 came the Prot
estant and Peep O'Day Boys. In
1875 came the Orangemen. The
British government looked upon
every Irish Catholic as being a rebel
and treated them as such.
Branches of the Ribbonmen be-
gan to spring up in England and
Scotland under the name of the
Hibernia Society and the Hibernia
Sick and Funeral Society, as the
name Ribbonmen was outlawed by
the British government. In 1925
the name in Ireland was changed
from the Ribbonmen to that of St.
Patrick's Fraternal Society. In 1886
some of the members who had emil
grated to America wished to organ
ize branch of the order in New
York City. They communicated their
desires to their brothers in Ireland

TO INTRODUCE
RIFLE SHOOTING
IN COLLEGES
Over Fifteen Thousand School
Bow Marksmen is Last
Years Record.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Over
fifteen thousand college and school
hoy marksmen is the record for the
school year ending June 30. 1914
Through the com bined efforts OF the
National Rifle Association of Amer1-
ca and the National Board LOT
the Promotion of Rifle Practice,
rapid strides are being made looking
to the introduction ofNrifie shooting
as one of the recognized sports In the
schools and colleges throughout the
country and the movement has oeen
still further stimulated by a recent
act of Congress authorizing the free
issue of rifles and ammunition to
such clubs and to cadet CORPS.
Many Rife Clubs.
This work was begun several years
ago by the National Rife Association
backed by the War department with
q result that at the present time there
are AZ colleges and universities and
So private and public preparatory
schools having rife clubs. National
cl- Championships are now being carried
on in both classes of institutions.
Among the colleges there are compe .
titions both indoor and outdoor rep
resenting the intercollegiate cham
pionship and among the schools. the
government has presented trophies
representing the public high. school
shooting cham pionship and the mill
tary school championship of the coun-
try. The indoor competitions Tor
both colleges and schools are now be-
ing organized for the indoor season
These matches are shot on indoor
ranges with % calibre rifles.
AS an evidence of the fact that the
athletic authorities of great many
colleges and universities, as well as
schools. are recognizing markham
ship as a part of their athletic currt-
culum. many of them are giving the
college or school letter to those stu
dents who make the rifle teams.
No Serious Accidents.
A feature of this work which is
worthy of mention is the fact that
there have been no serious accidents
of any kind on rife ranges since the
work was introduced, a claim that
could hardly hold good in connection
with other prominent school sports
such as football and baseball. To
overcome the erroneous impression
in the minds of members OF school
boards that rife shooting is danger
