Practice Economy In
A. 0. H. MANAGEMENT

The letter of National President
Joseph Mclaughlin concerning the
practice Of economy in the manage
ment of Hibernian affairs deserves
special mention for the complimentary
manner i'll which A. o. II. affairs are
handled.
'EXtravagance in the management
OF societies is one of the dangerous
fashions of the times. Conversely
there is no virtue which does more
good than economy. For the habitual
practice Of economy arises from
earnestness. and tho vice of eXtrava-
gance is bred from thoughtlessness.
1t is not an Hibernian habit to in
dulge in official extravaganza. Our
national character is frugal; the hab-
it's of our members are simple, and
there is every reason why the ofIl-
cial affairs of our order should be
managed thriftily in divisions,
counties, states and nation. The prac-
tice of economy is at present of vital
Importance. Our income in the ma
tion will not be as much as formerly.
eve have always been practical
men and we must now exercise the
practice of economy. Our practices
must vanquish the temptations of an
eXtravagant epocll-an epoch which
not only affects individuals, but
weakens societies and races. We
have, in common with other organiza-
tions, been led little from the
straight path OF economy by theories
of keeping up with the times Yet

Sentiment That Belongs to the Dead.

One of the most important addresses
made at the national convention of
recently held in San
was that of Rev. Father
McQuaid of Sacred Heart parish, San
Francisco. The following extracts
are taken from his address on this
occasion:
Il read once that young China
man, who, desirous of pleasing his
father, decided to present his parent
with gift which would be at the
same time useful and an adornment
of the ancestral home. He procured
the best coffin possible and sent it
to his father with letter asking him
to place the coffin in conspicuous
place In the old home, and to say to
visitors when they would ask him
what it meant that 1t was token of
love in preparation for the Event
"There is good reason to regard
death as the one great event. Death
means everything or nothing; it is
the individual or few, here and there,
who will affect that it means moth
ing. Among tribes, and nations and
peoples, from the very beginning,
under every sky and at all times
death meant everything. In one way
or other the majesty of the soul was
recognized, as was also it's life be-
yond this vale. It was this recogni
tion, added to which was the respect
due to the ersewhile habitation of the
spirit, that was the basis of the relig
ious rites which accompanied the dis
posal of the dead. These rites have
come and gone with the religions o.
the past. Death still strikes US will
fear and reverence, and our morta
clay still commands respect. Chris
tianity has ennobled the care of th'
dead. It has fostered and raised t.

these theories have been triod un-
successfully: They have not added to
our. membership, our financial re-
sources or our prestige, and their
failure is the strongest recommends
tion for return to the thrifty habits
OF old-time Hiberianism.
ut is common sense to spend
enough money to carry forward the
work Of the order. 1t is unwise to
collect money which is spent for pur-
poses which add no strength to the
order. Yet this is just what has been
done i'll many other societies. 1t
should not be done in our order. For
our organization is not built from
advertising, from it's endowment or
from it's popular appeal, but from the
morality, the patriotism, the religious
loyalty and the intelligence of the
men and women of Irish blood. Our
assessments are the lowest Of any
powerful society in the world. Our
treasury contains just sufficient money
to pay the operating expenses of the
order and not one dollar is collected
for surplus.
"The character of our members is
opposed to financial extravaganza,
and the incomes of our units-either
division, county, state or nation-will
not permit any attempt to initiate So
cietics which seek to obtain strength
by dazzling the eyes of prospective
which must be supported by heavy
payments of dues and assessments"

ROCKEFELLER SETTLES WITH
CATHOLIC SOCIETY.

John D. Rockefeller has come to a
settlement with the Catholic Foreign
Mission Society at Maryknoll, Ossin.
ing, N. Y, in its effort to secure a
parcel of land on Pocantico Hills.
Three years ago the Society signed
an agreement to purchase from 10.
seph Oussani so acres of land adjoin-
ing Rockefeller's property. A few
days later an attempt was made to
sell the same piece of property to a
Rockefeller agent at a considerable
advance. The Foreign Mission So
ciety at once brought suit for specific
performance against both the owner
and John D. Rockefeller. A decision
in favor of the Mission Society was
given by Judge Keough at White
Plains, N. Y. An appeal was taken
but the first decision was confirmed
by the Appellate Division.
At Albany there was a reversal on
a technicality, and the case was sent
back to the lower court for more GER
tain evidence on a question of fact.
The Mission Society Immediately an
nounced through it's attorney, Mr..
John X. M. Ewing of TarTytown, its
determination to continue the case,
and was prepared to do SO when a
proposition was made by the defend.
ants entirely favorable to the Society
The Society, shortly after beginning
its suit, found an excellent site above
Ossining, which it will make its def
mite home.

When it was a French town it had be.

Irish Plays and
Players

Friday afternoon of last week Bish-
op McGolrick of Duluth addressed the
members of the Outlook club at the
home of one of the members, Mrs. F..
w. Paine, on the subject, Irish Plays
and Players" During the course of
his address, Bishop McGolrick de-
clared that Shaw had degraded no.
tions of what plays should be and that
his mothers of families represented
as characters in his plays were of a
low order Of morality. Referring to
the Gaelic drama, His Grace stated
that as long as the Irish people pos
sessed the Gaelic language, their ma
tive tongue, they had famous thea
ter national and educational, but dur
ing the period of suppression and de-
preston, England took possession Of
Ireland and the native Gaelic was sup
pressed as language and English was
supplanted. Thus Ireland lost the
spirit and influence of the Irish drama.
"The old Irish manuscripts are lying
idle" said His Grace. "They are pre-
served in the ancient language of the
Gael. English was made the language
Of the teacher, of the writer, and the
medium of thought in the common af-
fairs of life. Nothing elevated was
brought with it. At present there is
no existing Irish drama. Boucicault
has made the best attempt of the mod
ern Irish writer's to revive the drama.
"But the modern Irish writer's are not
in close touch with each other" said
His Grace. So far as the Irish drama
is concerned, Shaw has created no
masterpiece. His types are inferior.
His notions of womanhood have been
severely criticised. He is a man be.
hind mask. Referring to the work
of Lady Gregory, Bishop McGolrick
stated that she had done some good in
her work with the Irish melodrama
which, His Grace declared, is more
typical of the Irish form of play than
is the drama. Much is to be hoped
from the work of Lady Gregory, and
those in close touch with her in the
revival of Irish drama.

Another Liberty
Bell

With the passing of the Liberty
Bell across the country, the tongue Of
which has probably carried the mes
sage of freedom to more people than
the tongue of any other bell in the
world, and its tones have carried far
ther than the tones of any other bell,
brings to mind another bell in the
United States which shares honors
with Liberty Bell, and is several years
older. It is the old Kaskaskia bell,
which on the 4th of July, 177S, or it
might have been the 5th of July, 1878,
proclaimed to the world that the yal-
ley of the Mississippi, an empire in
itself, was no longer under the do
minion of Great Britain, but was a
part of the United States.
This bell, which is of bronze, rests
in a church in New Kaskaskia, ILL.,,
and. there is afoot proposition that
it shall be turned over for preserva-
ton as a priceless relic to the Illi-
nois Historical Society.
In 1742, this bell was given to the
parish of Kaskaskia by Louis XIV,
King of France, and grandson of
Louis XIV. The inscription on the
bell, though nearly illegible, tells that
it was cast in 1741, at La Rochel, Nor
mandy, for the Church of the Immac-
ulate Conception, which stood at Kas-
kaskia.
Illinois under the rule of the French
had six settlements, one of which was
Kaskaskia, on the Kaskaskia River,
five miles above it's mouth, and two
miles from the Mississippi River.

Grand Opera in English is becoming

Grand Opera in English is becoming
nearer and nearer to actual fact, and
now the cry has gone out for grand
opera in Irish. Members of Gaelic
Societies, the Ancient Order Of Hiber-
mans, the knights of Columbus. the
Sons and Daughters Of Erin, the
Friendly Sons of st. Patrick, and all
other Irish societies are convinced that
the native Gaelic tongue sounds just
as musical, or more so, than any other,
provided the proper persons sing it as
Thomas Egan will do when he makes
his appearance at the Orpheum Thea
tire in this city soon.
There are four great tenors alike
today: Two Italians, Caruso and
Bonci, and two Irishmen, Mccormack
and Egan. Of the two Irishmen, it
is hard to say which is the greater.
Mccormack is, perhaps, little better
known among English speaking people
because he gained fame principally in
London. Egan, on the other hand, has
been more associated with other parts
of Europe, particularly Italy. But
Egan is one Of the greatest enthusi-
asts for Irish opera.
"Grand Opera" he says, "has never
been prominently associated with the
idea of Ireland, and when most people
think of her music, they recall a
few ballads and old folk songs, but as
a matter Of fact, Ireland has heard and
shown her ardent appreciation of most
of the greatest operas and singers for
many generations. In the days when
Convent Garden Opera House, in Lon
don, ranked even higher than it does
today among the great opera houses
of the world, it was the regular custom
to supplement the season there by 9
visit to Ireland. The Theatre Royal
in Dublin, was then the scene of bril-
liant meetings between music and SO
ciety, and the splendor Of the ladies
gowns and the beauty Of their face
would compare favorably with th'
present day audience at the New Yorl
Metropolitan. In these days in Duh
lin there is less social life but Dut
lin hopes for a return of her old rega
days when home rule becomes an es
tablished fact, and then We'll have rea
Irish grand opera"
Mr.. Egan pointed out that there
actually one grand opera written i
the Irish language which has bee
pronounced by leading musicians to b
among the best efforts Of modern con
posers. That opera is "Murgheis
written by O'Brien Butler, and, cur
ously enough, published by firm
German publishers. "Murgheis," M
