The committee that has in charge
arrangements for the annual banquet
of the Irish Fellowship club, to be held
at the Spalding hotel on the evening
of March 16, has procured Hon. Daniel
w. Lawler of ST. Paul to lead the list
of speakers.
1t is believed that this announce
ment is enough to increase the already
heavy demand for tickets, for Mr..
Lawler is known as one of the very
best orators that Minnesota has ever
produced. He has magnetic plat
form presence, and has attained emf
hence as a lecturer that extends be-
yond the boundaries of the state.
His subject at the banquet will be
American Citizenship" and it is ex-
pected that, in dealing with this sub
ject Mr.. Lawler will be at his best.
His appearance at the banquet of
the Irish Fellowship club will prob
ably be the only one before the cam
paign for the general election will
bring him here as it is certain to take
him to all parts of the state and per-
haps to many parts Of the nation, for
his services on the stump are always
in demand.

Rev. Michael O'Brien, Pastor of St.

ST. STEPHENS PARISH.

A card party was given on Monday
evening at st. Stephens Hall which
was we'll patronized and proved ex.
tremely enjoyable. The conveniences
of the Parish Hall in the new school
building have filed a long felt want
and are encouraging and fostering an
excellent spirit in the parish.
The old-fashioned party that was
given under the auspices of the
League of Catholic Women on last
Thursday evening brought out large
crowd. The dancing program was
thoroughly enjoyed and the old-fash.
toned dancing party encouraged by the
League Of Catholic Women was a sue.

MoDJEsKA DRAMATIC CLUB TO
GIVE PARTY.

can Irish Eden," a three-act Irish
Comedy Drama, will be presented by
the Modjeska Dramatic Club in the
auditorium of the Holy Rosary School,
St. Patrick's Eve, March II, 1916.
The play is full of love, sentiment
and pathos and tends to delight and
yield exquisite pleasure to every lover
of Irish drama. The story begins with
May and Harrison scheming against
Nell, the niece of Father Duffy, the
parish priest. Nell refuses Harrison's
proffered love and makes him her enc.
my. End Of first act finds John and
Nell engaged. During act two May
and Harrison meet again. The birth
and death of Nell's baby overpowers
her with grief, but this is only aug
mented by the trickery of Harrison,
and the finding of John at Van Sloan's
party in company with May Dempsey,
which results in Nell's despair and
spurs her on to a final decision. In
the third and last act Father Duffy has
a case with the devil in consequence of
Nell and Johns desire for separation.
Through Father Duffy's diplomacy
happy results are brought about. Two
remarkably eccentric characters tend
to subvert the impending chaos and
beguile the audience to the highest
pitch.
The rehearsels have been marked
with spirited action and personal en-.
deavor on the part Of every member
Of the cast. This, coupled with the
careful coaching of Mr.. Kelley, bids
fair to make this play the greatest
success Of the season.

and independence which is the birth
right of the children of men, which
God has granted and which no man
can take away. Emmett claimed the
same right for his country that we
claim for our country and the demand
of the Irish race today is the same that
it was when Emmett died for free and
absolute independence. The speaker
congratulated the Hibernians of Ram
sey county upon their efforts in rails
ing fund for new building and ex-
presses the hope that in November,
1917 when they celebrate the 5Oth an
niversary of the death of the Manches-
ter martyrs Larkin, Allen and O'Brien,
it may be in a home owned by the HI
bernians OF Ramsey county. He paid
a tribute to the rank and file of the
Fibernians and Of the Ladies' Auxil-
larry and spoke with appreciation of
the ability and patriotism of the young
members of St. Thomas Orchestra
who had entertained the audience with
their splendid music.
| In closing the speaker referred to
the sacrifices made not only by Irish
men, but by members of all foreign
nationalities in the American Revolu-
tion and in the War of the Rebellion.
He said that it was the hyphenated
citizen of Washingtons day and of
Lincoln's day that III the first place
created a government and in the sec
ond place preserved it. The speaker
called the roll Of representatives of
the various nations who had fought
and bled for American institutions:
Mullgan, Meagher Shields and Mont
gomery, Lafayette and Rochambeau
representing the French, De Kalb and
Won Steuben, graduates of the Army of
Frederick the Great, Count Axel de
Fersen a son Of Scandinavia, who was
also trusted comrade and soldier of
Washington. He spoke in detail of
the debt which the people of America
owe to American citizens of German
birth and ancestry who sixty years
ago fought for the Union and pre-
served it for the generation Of the
present day. He told of the patriotic
conduct of Carl Schurz in Wisconsin,
of Hecker in Illinois, of Siegel in Mis-
souri,, and said that 1t is now the uni
versal verdict of history that the Ger
mans of the northwest saved the
northwest for the Union cause.
He said that all OF these men were
hyphenated citizens and should be in
cluded in the ban that today is being
laid upon them, their descendants and
their successors. He said that while
he had read good deal of American
history he had been unable to find
among its list of traitors the name of
a hyphenated citizen. Benedict Arm
old was born on American soil and
every delegate to the Hartford con.
vention, the first convention of treason,
one hundred years ago, was a native.
born American. Jefferson Davis, the
president Of the Confederacy, was not
