CLOSE OF MISSION.

The second week OF the mission,
known as mems week, at ST. Louis
Bertrand's church, will come to a
close tomorrow evening at the 1880
O'Clock exercises, which will consist
of rosary, sermon. benediction and
the Papal blessing. The success OF
the mission, especially from an at
tendance standpoint has been re-
markable, this large edifice being
crowded nightly, necessitating the
placing of extra chairs, and It is con-
servatively figured that a general
average of 200 men we're present
at the evening exercises, and nearly
that many at the and O'Clock
masses. The average daily number
of communicates thus far has been
over 500, and It is expected that
with the attendance OF the Holy
Name Society tomorrow morning the
figures will compare favorably with
the women's mission the week pre-
vious, when $500 communions we're
received in the last 2 five days Of
their week. Another remarkable
feature Of the mission was that dur
ing the mems week eighteen
saloons, covering a radius OF nearly
a mile square, were closed during
the hours OF the evening exercises.

ACTIVE AT NINETY.FIvE.

Remarkable indeed is the career
of John Kinnarney, born I'm Kings
county, Ireland, ninety-five years
ago. His next birthday anniversary
will be August IA. He left his native
land on the night of the Big Wind in
1889 with fourteen other young
farmers for America, and arrived in
Louisville during the Know
nothing excitement and witnessed
the atrocities of Bloody Monday. He
was first employed by the late Jo-
seph Campion, then Superintendent
of the United States mail 1.-The steam
boats plying between Louisville and
Cincinnati. Afterward for fourteen
years he worked on railroad CON
struction, and later was employed
for thirty-five years by the Louis
willie Railway Company, retiring
about sixteen years ago. Mr. Kim
Inatney is able to walk to st. Johns
church every Sunday morning, and
he never fails to do so. He retains
all of his faculties and his mind is
clear. His son, James Kinnarney,
is one of the best known detectives
In Kentucky, and was formerly a
Captain in the Louisville police de-
partment, having made fine record
In that department. The son is very
loyal to his father, who lives with
him, and takes great interest in bis

years of age, son of former Police
man Jerry j. O'Hearn, met with a
horrible death Wednesday morning
in an accident in the South Louisville
shops OF the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company, where he was em-
ployed as a machinist. Officials at
the shops where the accident oc-
Cured refused to give out any in
formation concerning the circum-
stances. Sergeant Patrick O'Hearn,
an uncle of the unfortunate young
man, and Patrolman Mike O'Hare
went to the shops and, il is charged
were ordered away from the prem
ises. The information they obtained
was to the effect tha tthe body of
O'Hearn was cut almost in twain by
one OF the coal shovels used on
cranes. The shovels open and are
dropped into car of coal. and closed
before the coal is lifted. According
to the reports O'Hearn's body was
caught by the coal shovel as IL was

his father he is survived by a
brother. James O'Hearn. and a sis
ter, Mrs. Nellie Doyle. The father
was witness in the Federal Court
when he was informed of his sons
tragic death. SO great was the shock
that he collapsed and had to be re-
moved to his home in an automobile.
Young O'Hearn was a popular and
industrious young man. and in every
home in the neighborhood in which
he lived his death is sincerely re-
gretted. His funeral was held Fri

st. Patrick's day will be observed
in Louisville by the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and Ladies' Auxiliary,
who will endeavor to excel all pre-
vious efforts in its celebration.
Notable will be the turnout Sunday
morning at the $3.50 o'clock mass at
st. Patrick's church, when the mem
bers of the divisions and the aux
iliary will commemorate the patron
saint of the order by approaching
the holy table in a body. Surely this
pious and devotional exercise will
bring many blessings to the order
and the united prayers of the mem
bers will be helpful in the struggle
to maintain the present happy posi-
tion of home rule for the old land.
Under the auspices Of the Ancient
Order natives of Erin and their
descendants will have their annual
celebration Sunday night at
Macauley's Theater, and the oeca-
sion will be marked by notable
speeches, Irish songs and other feat
ures which will appeal to the senti-
ment Of the prominent Celts present.
Attorney Thomas Walsh will deliver
the address of welcome, and Lieut..

the speaker of the evening. There
