Marriage Opposed.
The marriage Of the Prince and
Miss Deacon was the cause Of a dis
pute between him and his relatives.
The parents were finally pacified,
however. The couple were married
in London, and the ceremony was the
social sensation of the season.
The date first set for the cere-
mony was June %, 1910; but At the
last moment it was announced that
it had been postponed. and the walt
ing guests were informed that the
Prince had neglected to procure the

The Adamsville camp was de-
scribed to the Grand Jury by the
convicts as veritable hell. :"
One of the men, in his testimony
put it this way;
was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary and was sent to hell. "
Food Unfit, They Say.
The food furnished the prisoners
was characterized as rotten" and
unfit for human beings" and condi-
tions generally were described as al
most beyond belief
In telling of the bathing facilities
for the convlcts, one of the men said;
This is a shameful feature of the
system. The tub in which we battle
is nothing more than half barrel, in
which a dozen men have to battle in
the same water. We are required to
cleanse ourselves in this way once a
week"
Another witness told the jury:
"The food is terrible. Much of it is
decayed. I have frequently seen
worms in the rice and in the green's.
We are fed this kind OF stuff. and
then II a convict gets sick and Is I'M
able to work as much as they think
he should he is given a beating"
Sick Convict Whipped.
The big strap with which the con-
vlcts are fiogged was described as a
brutal instrument OF torture. Ac-
cording to the convicts. it is about
four inches wide, an eighth Of an inch
thick, about three feet and a half in
length and weighs several pounds.
The witnesses told of two convicts
who had been whipped while i'll, one
of whom swooned when the second
blow was struck One OF them, Joe
Thurmond, sent up from Fulton
County for short term, Is said TO
have tuberculosis The other. Jack
Steart. also a Fulton County man, is
said to have been i'll for some time

These two convicts, the witness
said, were whipped because they were
unable to work enough

BRIGHT PICTURE
DRAWN IN TALKS
At IRISH DINNER
Bravery of Natives of Emerald
Isle is Lauded at st. Pat
riCk'S Banquet Held at the
EIkS' Temple.

Exultation IN the bravery with
which Ireland has met the dark crisis
in her history and optimism for the
future OF the nation were the key
notes Of the addresses delivered at
the annual st. Patrick's day banquet
of the Ancient order Of Hibernians,
held last evening in the Elks' temple.
The Irish spirit in its most exalted
form swayed each speaker in turn
and speaker for a minute forgot the
high destiny TO which each asserted
God had called the wearers of the
green. The audience, which COM
pletely filled the hail, waxed enthusi-
astic throughout the evening and each
orator was received with an acclaim
that caused him to put forth his ut
most efforts.
A deeply religious tone permeated
all of the remarks. The military
spirit. always in evidence at an Irish
gathering walked hand in hand with
the spirit of religion but never for a
minute did the latter yield place.
The keynote of the evening was
first struck by Jerome Crowley of
Chicago, the POSTMASTER of the even
ing The POSTMASTER spoke but brief
ly in an effort to give the following
speakers as much time as possible but
his remarks were always aprOpos and
feeling of intimacy with his audience.
Father DeGroOte Speaks.
Rev. John f. DeGroote, chaplain of
the division, was the first speaker.
Father DeGroote spoke on the Irish
Catholic" and his address was a reci-
tation of the wrongs and the perSe-
cutionS TO which the race had been
subjected from time immemorial and
a eulogy of the spirit that had in each
instance enabled them to rise tri-
umphant. Father DeGroOte touched
the hearts of his hearers with his eff
fective talk and his plea to the Irish
and the sons of Irishmen to stand
firm to the faith that had enabled
their sires to overcome almost insur-
mountable odds thrilled the large
audience. The popularity of the pas
tor and the effectiveness Of his address
| were both well attested by the APP
| plause that followed his remarks.
A plea for international and uni
versal peace and prayer that Ire
| land might obtain that measure of
home rule by peaceful methods that
| the American colonies wrested from
| Britain by force of arms was the sub
stance of the address made by Atty
Charles Hagerty. the speaker of the
evening. A strong picture of the hor-
| rors of war and the almost equally Sc
we're burden of an armed peace was
painted by the speaker in the course
of his grafton and his prediction that
q strengthened and ennObled Ireland
would arise when once the nation
had been granted the independence
that its ability at self government

pictured the ernative-wealth and

temptation had been rejected. The

sunlight OF her resurrection and
shall stand on her Easter morn in

blood in American achievement.
America is not AnglO-SaxOn" pro-
tested the speaker in concluding his
talk. IF Europe may claim the ma
ton, IL is the right of the Celt to
take the credit as there are more
men of Irish blood in the country
than of any other nationality. Much
of the good done by the Irish here
is in my opinion and in the opinion
of others. due to the efforts of our
organization, the Ancient order Of
Hibernians. which has served as a
guiding star to the race in the new
world"
