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"
It 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 its great
est feature the unification in one
grand whole of all Irish Americans
of Catholic faith, and the preserva-
ton 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 char
acter of Irish American manhood and
gives constant Evidence of its belief
in Christian ideals as taught by the
Catholic Church. {.
The motives that prompted the
formation more than two hundred

The Defenders continued under
different leaders from the death of
Owen until they became part of an
oath-bound organization, known as
the Confederation of Kilkenny. In
1641 the prelate and laymen of the
Church issued a proclamation calling
upon all Catholics to take tie oath.
In 1912 the Defenders lost their
identity as national organization.
They become part and parcel Of the
Confederationists, but as an organi-
zation they continued to hold to-
gether.
In 1745 the Catholics were granted
the right of public worship. Priests
and F'riars went around unmoles led,
enjoying freedom they were denied
for over 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 Hi
hernia 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. Pat
rick's Fraternal Society. In 1886
some of the Members who had emf
grated to America wished to organ
ize a branch of the order in New
York City. They communicated their
desires to their brothers in Ireland
and in June they received the follow
ing instructions, to wit:
Brothers, Greeting-Be it known
to you and all it may concern, that
we send to our few brothers in New
York full instructions with our au-
thority to establish branches of our
old society in America. The qualifi-
cations for membership are:

Ancient Order of Hibernians

kxxkkk**** *** *****FTf'" -"
The Ancient Order of Hibernians,
as it's name indicates, is a society
composed exclusively of 1rishmen by
birth or descent, and practical
Roman Catholics, organized in Ire
land for the preservation of the Cath
olic Church and the protection of the
priest and schoolmaster, who were
hunted like wolves, with a price set
upon their heads and of those who
would grant them shelter or refuge.
There has been great deal said as
TO when and where the Ancient Ord
er 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 Tor
God and country. Again, it is given
az 1851, when Connaught. after
Cromwell's Infamous edict of ITO
He'll or to Connaught." The history
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians
ia practically the history of Ireland.
According to MacGeoghegan's ana
Mitchell's, Wright's, Leekey's, O'Hal-
leran's and Robinson's History OF
Ireland, it was organized in 1865 by
one Rory Oge O'Moore in the County
Of Kildare, Province of Leinster. 1t
was then that Rory Oge O'Moore
organized the Defenders. He made
ARRANGEMENTS with the clergy to erect
crude affairs in the mountain fast
nesses. and there have the people at
tended the Holy Sacrafice 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-
nile of the approach of sacriligious
intruders.
They found a place to shelter the
hunted priests. Sometimes 1t would
be in an isolated cabin in the noun
tain glens, but often it would be IN
the cold and dismal caves of the
mountains.
Branches sprung up all over the
northern and western parts of the
country. They were known by dlt
ferent names, such as Tories. Rap
perees, Defenders. ....

organizations now in existence, and
the great inducements offered by
many of them for bringing in new
members, we feel proud and thankful
for our rapid increase in membership,
interest awakened and sustained in
this important question.
We are to-day very strong Catho-
lie organization. We can go further
and proudly claim we are the strong
est body in the world composed of
one nationality and belonging to one
religion. We have a: membership of
seventy thousand Irishwomen all
anxious and willing to work with
pleasure for the benefit of our glori-
Gus cause.
Our labors in the field of benevo-
lence have carried peace and happi-
ness to many bereaved homes. Our
impartial fidelity to the truths Of
true fraternity has strengthened the
principles of cooperation and self
reliance among our people.
Our sincere devotion and careful
observance of our duties as Catho-
lies have strengthened the bulworks
of Mother Church and carried her
holy influence far and wide on the
fields of blessed fruition.
The great field awaiting woman's
efforts is fast being peopled with no
BILE souls whose sacrifice of,time and
labor is reaping rich harvests. The
work of the organization is no longer
limited to the division meeting and
public platform. In the homes of our
people the great principles we advo-
cate, the cause we love, is being in
stilled into the hearts of those of
tender years, assuring us that those
who will follow will be imbued with
the holy enthusiasm needed to in
spire the souls of those who may be
called on in the future to serve in
the cause of Faith and Race.
The future of the Ladies' Auxiliary
depends largely upon the interest we
can awaken in the Irish-American
girls, and to attain this desired end,
the movement has been carried on in
many states towards the organization
of juvenile divisions.
The boys and girls constitute the
future, and it is upon them we must
depend for the greatest work of the
years to come. In view of this fact
many state, county and division pres
idents have accomplished much, and
several juvenile divisions have been
organized, all doing good work in
educational lines. You all know the
/ history Of Hibernianism, its object
and aim in the penal days of Ireland.
You know, too, that the women of
Ireland stood side by side with the
men protecting the priest in the pen
al days.
Out of the dim past there comes
many tales to us, stories and legends
Of brave deeds, of wonderful lives
of great hours, when to retain their

Ladies Auxiliary A. O. H.

The Ladies' Auxiliary to the An
cient Order of Hibernians was or
ganized at Omaha, Nebraska, during
the National convention of A. o. H.
in 1894 under the jurisdiction of A.
o. H. national officers. but having
an advisory board composed of L. A.
A. o. H. members, until the national
convention held at Saratoga Springs.
N. c., in 1906 at which tome the A.
o. H. Convention granted permission
to the Ladies' Auxiliary delegates to
form a board and elect officers. The
following officers were elected: Miss
Anna G. Malta of Pennsylvania, ma
tional president; Mrs. Mary McCar-
thy of Massachusetts, national vice.
president; Mrs. Louise Duross of
New York, national secretary; Mrs.
Mary B. DAILY, Minnesota, national
treasurer. Membership at this time
was $4,000.
At Indianapolis, Ind, in 1908 two
directors were added to the national
board, Mrs. Mary F. McWhorter of
Illinois, and Miss Mollie Fox of Indi-
ana. At this convention the Irish
history committee was organized and
Mrs. Ellen Ryan jolly appointed ma
tional chairman. An active campaign
started at once in the interest of
Irish history which has resulted in
much good in the education of the
youth of our land in the nation which
has won the proud title of Saints
and Scholars"
At Portland, 1910, change took
place in the election of officers. Mrs.
Adelia Christy, Ohio, being elected
national secretary, and Miss Marie
Chambers, Oregon, national director.
The other officers were reelected.
At Chicago, 1912, Mrs. Ellen Ryan
Jolly, Rock Island, was elected ma
tional president; Miss B. A. Mahoney.
Mich, national vice-president, and
Mrs. Adelia Christy, Ohio, national
secretary; Mrs. Mary G. Connolly.
New York, national treasurer; Miss
Marie Chambers, national director,
and Mrs. Mary F. McWharter, at
tional director and national chairman
of Irish history, were reelected. Miss
Anna G. Malta, past national presi-
dent is also a member of the national
board. i
The principal object and aim of the
Ladies' Auxiliary is to elevate each
morally and socially; to assist each
other in sickness and distress; to do
all possible in the advancement of
faith and race.
It gives me great pleasure to relate
that our grand organization has con-
tributed ten thousand dollars ($10,-
O0O) to church extension work. and
the same amount to found a scholar
ship at Trinity College.
The Irish parents fully realize the
fact that the greatest legacy which
they can transmit to their children
is that true Catholic education which
will enable them later on in life to
take up the work in which their
parents have been SO zealously en-
gagged.
The rapid growth of the Ladies'
Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of
Hibernians in America is indeed a
matter of congratulation. 1t is a
qualification to me to report large
increase in membership during tho
past year. All honest and earnes:
efforts along this line are meeting
with a great measure of success.

SANTUC, Jan. 6.-AIl of the stu
dents who came home for the holi-
days have returned to their respec-
tive Institutes of learning. The school
here began this week and both teach
ers, Prof Jayroe and Miss Marilla
Brooks, were back from their vaca-
ton ready for their duty.
This clear cold weather that this
week started in with is good for peo-
ple's health, but it proved to be the
death of quite number of hogs. But
almost everyone who has hogs, COM
plain that they ave hard to fatten
this year. Perhaps they are on a
strike too.
In looking over the "Want ads" in
papers, why do SO many men say,
"No cigarette smokers need apply"
That seems very significant, doesn't
it? That seems to be sort of
weight hung to man that hinders
him in his race for business.
There is going to be great change
in our citizenship this year. The
readers will remember that we have
gained one family, Mr. Russell Jeter,
lately of Columbia, but we will lose
the family of DR.. L. H. Thomas, as
they will move to Branchville. Mr..

WAR SCARE HURTS STOCKS
Excitement Rules Wall Street as For
eien Exchanges Show Many
Severe Losses.

New York, July 2S.-The local stock
market opened amid scenes Of great
excitement. Conditions in continental
Europe, growing out Of the Servian
crisis and accentuated by what ap-
pears to be a critical phase in the
Irish situation. caused severe losses
on foreign exchanges. The gravity Of
the situation may be judged from the
fact that the Vienna exchange Is to
remain closed for several days, while
the Austro- Hungarian bank rate was
advanced without warning. Prices held
far better than In London, where quo
tations for Americans were down
from two to almost seven points. Ca
madam Pacific, which yielded over six
points in London. opened here with a
loss of 3h points. Declines Of one
to 21a points were recorded in the
initial trading by st. Paul, Northern
Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande pre-
ferred and many other active stocks.
