PRIESTS SILVER JUBILEE.

The Rev. Father George A.
Weiss. pastor of St. Georges church
on Eighteenth street, had a happy
and impressive celebration on We'd
nesday and Thursday of the twenty
fifth anniversary of his ordination
to the Catholic priesthood, when he
was showered with the congratula-
lions of his parishioners and friends
throughout this and other dioceses.
The celebration was inaugurated
with solemn high mass Wednesday
morning and an entertainment by
the school children in the evening.
Thursday the celebration began with
solemn votive mass, Father Weiss
being the celebrant, assisted by Rev.
Fathers Thome, Ackermann and
Reverman, when the Rev. DR..
Schuhmann preached the jubilee
sermon. Right Rev. Bishop O'Don-
aghue and Abbott Obrecht, of
Gethsemane, graced the occasion by
their presence. attended by Vicar

body, Very Rev. Father j. p.
Cronin, County Chaplain of the or
der, graciously granting the re-
quest of the committee which waited
upon him and promised them a spe-
cially reserved portion of the pews
for their convenience. AS the third
Sunday of the month is the nearest
to st. Patrick's day, the County
Board deemed it advisable to select
this date and believes that it will be
the means of bringing out the larg-
est representation in years at the
annual communion day of the order
as it does not donfiict with the COM
munion days of any other societies
with which the members may be
affiliated. Every member of the
order has always had a warm spot
in his or her heart for their County
Chaplain and the county officers
urge a big attendance on Sunday as
a substantial proof of their esteem.
AS stated by County President w. j.
Connolly, no matter what the dis
lance or inconvenience, it is espe-
cially fitting to make any sacrifice
to be present, as the holy season Of
Lent is the appropriate time for
such sacrifices. and a fitting close of
the st. Patrick's day celebration
would be the attendance at mass in
the church named in honor of the
patron saint of the order and the
receiving of holy communion,

again possibly because of the SPLEEN
did attendance. County President
w. ] Connolly was present and es-
pecially urged the members to at
tend the $50 o'clock mass next
Sunday morning at st. Patrick S
church and receive holy communion,
calling attention to the fact that
there were no conflicting dates to
deter anyone from attending this
year. Lawrence ]. Mackey, Presi-
dent of Division 3, was present and
was given a warm welcome He
spoke of the interest taken in the
st. Patricks day celebration by his
division and made one telling point
in which lie said that any Irishman
or Irish-American that did not be-
long to the A. o. H., the representa-
tive Irish society, was not a true
descendant of the race. President
John Hennessy then called on John
J. Sullivan, whom he designated as
one of the old "war horses" in the
ranks of the order, and the latter
responded that he would ever be
loyal to the grand old order. James
McTighe, T. ]. Langan and John ].
Barry were appointed to draft reso-
lutions on the death of the mother
of Assistant Financial Secretary ID.
]. Reilly and on adjournment the
members went to the home in body
and recited the rosary, Rev; Father

LOCATES IN PADUCAH.

Thomas M. Ryan, the well-known
travelling clothing salesman, who
has been a respected resident of
Louisville for many years, has left
the city to engage in business in
Paducah. where he has become a
partner in one of the leading mems
clothing and furnishing stores in
that section. Mr.. Ryan had a legion
of friends here who will miss him,
as he was an untiring worker in
Catholic church and society circles
and always a booster for Louis
Vile. While regretting his de-
parture all unite in wishing him all
manner of success in his new field.
In this case it is Louisville's loss
and Padueah's gain.

AVIATION STATION AT
 COAST GUARD ACADEMY,
Steps Being Taken to Establish Base
 at Fort Trumbull.

The Coast Guard academy at Fort Trumbull is likely to become an avia- ton station in the near. future. Steps are being taken by the cnast guard service, under the authority granted by congress in it's last naval appropril ation bill, looking to the establishment of aviation bases along the Atlantic seaboard. The type of air machine has not been settled upon, but it is expected a form of seaplane will be adopted.
 Officers of the coast guard are now being detailed to aviation inspection duty and as soon as sufficiently skilled will be assigned to take charge of the several aviation units. For the pres ent it is intended to establish 15 sta
 tiors. The specific duty of the aviators assigned to them will be to give in- formatio mas to the condition and To- cation of vessels in distress.
 Officers are confident that seaplanes will be able to render valuable aid to the seagoing cutters in the initial stages of salvage operations and es- peciaIly so 1n quickly determining the position of distressed craft. In this respect the plan is 10 cause the Sea planes to cQ-operate. at all times with
 the cutters. ANT =r -f-oS0=g .E~eaH-
 In time of war the coast guard avia- 1 ton stations will pass under the con trol of the secretary of the navy, but in time of peace they will be looked after by the secretary of the treasury. Under the navy department the stations will be utilized as additional eyes of the coast defense system. A sub division of the coast guard at ash ington will have direct charge of the aviation branch, under the general control of the captain -comnandant of that service.

EDWARD HANLON
Appointed Member of Park Board in
 Baltimore. ...


 Edward Hanlon, formerly of Taft vile, has been appointed by the mayor of Baltimore as member of the park h4s selection the Baltimore American says:
 The appointment by the mayor of Edward Haplon to succeed James T. Stuart on tie park commission will be likely to impress the majority Of Bal timoreans as putting the right man in the right place. Mir. Hanlon is no iri- descent dreamer about parks, or any thing else. He is practical minded an organizer of exceptional ability, man who knows something considerable about getting star results out oL Lile primitive rough. Organizing and de- veloplng the finest park system in the United States may not, in the last analysis, be very much different from organizing 9 pennant- winning baseball nine--the finest baseball tear1 in the United States.
 Ned Hanlon-as a good many people feel privileged to call llin-has been identified with Baltimore for more than a quarter of a century. It is eminent ly fitting that he should be drafted into a service where his practical abili- ties will be utilized for the common good. It is generally assumed that the appointment of MT. Hanlon means the ending of friction between the execu- tive head of the city government and the departmental board having charge of the parks and of the handling of the large fund which the city receives from the per cent tax on the gross receipts of the United Railways lines.
