ST. PATRICK'S DAY
Celebration of A. o. n.
Now An Assured
Success.

The committee representing the
County Board, A. O. H., met Thurs
day evening and heard reports per-
tanning to the annual st. Patrick's
day celebration, which will take
place at Macauley's Theater on Sun
day evening, March Is, at S:15
o'clock. Judging from present indi-
cations the affair this year prom
ises to eclipse anything of its kind
given in the past, the members be-
ing jubilant over the fact that they
have secured Lieut.-Gov. Edward j.
McDermott as the orator of the even
ing, which in itself is guarantee of
success. In addition the committee
has secured some of the best talent
in the city for a musical programme,
and the latest scenic pictures of the
Ireland of today, which are sure to
prove instructive as well as enter
tanning. Reserved seats to any part
of the house, exclusive of the boxes,
are now on sale at twenty-five cents
each and can be- secured from any
member of the Committee of Ar
rangements, who are Thomas w.
Tarpy, Daniel O'Keefe, Charles j.
Finegan, Matt j. O'Brien, Thomas
j. Langan and County President w.
j. Connolly. A complete programme
will be announced in our next issue,
containing list of the vocal and
instrumental numbers in detail. Sew
eral of our leading clergymen will
occupy boxes, and the different Cath
Ollie societies have been invited to be
present at the celebration in honor
of Irelands patron saint and scholar.

HAPPILY SURPRISED

Col. John j. Score was given a
happy surprise at his home on Zane
street last Saturday night, when his
amiable wife invited number of
his friends to bounteous dinner in
honor of his birthday. The valiant
Colonel was preparing for church
when called, and before he knew
what was transpiring he was SUR
rounded by Fire Chief Tim Lehan,
Col. Joe P. McGinn, Ben Kruse,
George Bender, William T. Meehan,
Harry Veeneman, Eugene Mccarthy
and William NJ Higgins, who pre-
|sented him a magnificently framed
steel engraving CT the Return From
Calvary as a memento of their
friendship. This over, all proceeded
to the appetizing dinner presided
over by the hostess and her sister. A
social hour followed, during which
Joe McGinn won and nearly lost a
box of shirts, while Ben Kruse cap
tured the ties. Toasts were re-
sponded to by several and for Mrs.
Score and her husband many returns
of the day were hoped for.

AT a meeting of the representa-
tlves of the various Irish-American
societies held at the Raleigh Hotel
In Washington, for the purpose of
conferring with Col. w. w. Harts,
y. s. A., Superintendent of Public

burn. Of Philadelphia, the great
grand-niece of the Commodore, will
draw the silken cord which viii
disclose the statue of the Father of
the American Navy to the world.
Major Gen. William Barry, u. S. A.,

In the parade and the other cere-
monies in connection with the
unveiling.

fierce denunciation of this Orange
quiet, moderate Liverpool ship
owner, who represents the solid
business men of England, who are
shocked by these appeals and in--
elements to lawlessness by leaders
of the Conservative party. The sec
ond debate on the insurance act
elected from Lloyd-George the most
successful speech of his whole Par
liamentary career, for by skillful
cross examination he got Bonar Law
into such o ridiculous maze of self
contradictions as made the un-
fortunate Tory leader a greater
laughing stock than ever, and the
whole debate exposed the folly OF
the whole Tory agitation against the
Insurance act.
While Asquith is working out his
scheme of concessions the Tories in
the House of Commons become daily
more restive, and the victory in
Leith probably will add fuel to the
flame. There have been rumors
for some days that disorders in
Ulster may break out at any mo-
ment, and though concerted disorder
In the House of Commons has not
yet materialized, It is possible at any
moment. But sectarian riotlng. with
attacks on peaceful Catholic citizens.
will not help but harm the Orange
movement, and disorder in the
House of Commons, though exasper-
ating and disagreeable, will not
help the Orangemen,
The chief problem of the near
future is the character of conces-
sions Asquith will offer. They are
not yet shaped, and choice is diff
cult amid so many possible solIf-
tions. Home rule within home rule
is definitely rejected by 0rangemen.
Permanent exclusion and all Ulster
is as definitely rejected by Nation
alists and Liberals. For the mo-
ment the only scheme which Liberals
and Nationalists would willingly try
is Plunkett's suggestion of the tenn
porary inclusion of Ulster with
right to demand exclusion after five
or ten years experience of home
rule Parliament.

thus manifesting his friendship for
the Progressives in a substantial
way, and which alliance was in
dignantly denied when the statement
appeared in these columns before.
AS in all like instances, the public
soon grows tired of a chronic kicker
and perpetual sorehead, as is ev-
idenced by the waning interest in
this publication, whose funeral
obsequies are expected to be an
nounced at an early date.
The reputed political sagacity of
Gen. Percy Haley seems sorely at
fault by the fact that the Beckham
Senatorial race in this district is
being handled by ex-Chief of Police
Haager, who only few months ago
was espousing the Progressive cause
for dear life, and it goes without
saying that the rank and file of
Democracy of Jefferson county will
hardly enlist behind the Beckham
banner while Haager holds the reins,
assisted by Fillmore Tyson, Laban
Phelps, Mel Lapaille and others OF
Haager's following.

blow a great nation started from the
waters OF the Atlantic" In the ref
