"a poem written by one Of the Irish rebel
prisoners in Stafford Jail, EngIand)

You've hinged round with
STEEL
For five most hdeous centuries heel
you've reared your forts around built
And in ca'ous heart designed
And then you planned the epitaph
And watched her people fade language away
All undisturbed and all serene centuries
And boosted Of your loyalty nd the world with ies
But Dublin tore from off face the
And all the nation her beauty before.
She hurled flame instead
She stood capital unsIaved-and risen dead!
What though we are free?
What though chain destiny
And He shall smite the earth throne,
And for long Of despair that atone.

NOTED NEW YORK JuR,s1 DIES.

NV Gu NEW YORK JURIST DIES,
Judge Joseph Francis DAILY died at
his summer residence in Yonkers, N.
Y, last Sunday. He was &c years
OF age and recognized as one of the
most distinguished jurists and Cath
Ole philanthropists in New York.
The Times said of him editorially
That the Judge was a conspicuous fig
ure in the social and political life of
New York for many years. An able
lawyer and an upright Judge, he
earned and kept the respect of the
community, and perhaps the highest
tribute ever paid to him was Richard
Croker's: DAILY has been a Judge
for twenty-eight years and he has
never done anything for the organiza-
tlon.' He had done much for the
city and it's inhabitants. He was a
founder of The Players and the Cath.
clio Club and was probably the only
person from whom his renowned and
autocratic brother. Augustin, ever ac-
copied advice. Judge DAILY himself
was an authority Oh theatrical litera-
ture and history, a just and apprccia.
tive critic of actors and acting, ami
man of broad and varied sympa-
thies. 1t is natural that the obitu-
aries should lay most stress on the
fact that he was politically turned
down." but he leaves host of friends
in various walks of life who feel that
such a mishap was of comparatively
small Importance in a career so rich
in achievement and endcavor.
Judge DAILY was member of the
Board of Managers of the Catholic Or.
plan Asylum during the past twenty.
five years and it's counsel during past
sixteen years, also a member of the
Catholic Club and of the American
Irish Historical Society. His funeral
was held from st. Vincent Ferrer on
Wednesday morning. .......

1.-THE. RECENT CONVENTION OF
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
At DAVENPORT.

At Monday nights meeting of Hen
nepin, Minneapolis Council of the
knights OF Columbus, Mr.. John c..
Sheehan, who was one of the Min
nesota representatives at the supreme
convention at Davenport, Iowa, held
during the first three days Of August,
presented most entertaining and in
teresting report of the proceedings of
the supreme body. The convention
brought together many of the most
distinguished personages of the coun-
try.
A noteworthy feature Of the con-
vention was the presence of the apos-
tolic delegate, Most Rev. Archbishop
Bonzano, who was the celebrant of
the High Mass on Tuesday morning
at the Sacred Heart Cathedral, when
IA priests were in the Sanctuary.
The sermon was preached by Arch
bishop Keane of Dubuque, Iowa, form
erly of Minneapolis. Those who spoke
at the opening session at the Columbia
theater after the Mass, included Gov
ernor Clark of Iowa, the mayor of
Davenport and the presidents of the
two principal civic organizations of
that city and Supreme knight Fla
herty Of Philadelphia.
There were 244 delegates in attend
Canada, Cuba, Panama and Porto
Rico. The reports showed the
Knights of Columbus to be in pros
porous and growing condition. A let
ter from Brother Moriarty, who is on
the Mexican border, experimenting
the expenditure of the funds provided
for the Knights who are in the army
was of special interest. 1t stated that
about one-fourth of the troops are
Catholics and the only other work of
the kind is being done by the Y. M.
G. A. The convention authorized the
further use of the general funds of
the order along these lines.
-Four directors, Brothers Reddin of
Colorado, Dryer of Minnesota, DR..
Dussault of Quebec, and Leche of
Louisiana, whose terms expired, were
reelected by reclamation. The salary
of the Supreme knight was raised to
$4,000 and that of Supreme Secretary
to $4,000 per annum. The per diem
compensation of delegates was fixed
at ten dollars.
The most important report that
came before the convention was that
of Chairman P. H. Callahan of the
Committee on Religious Prejudice,
consisting of several hundred pages.
Only the salient features of this re-
port were read, but it will be printed
and put in permanent shape for dis
tribution. Its scope is surprisingly
broad and it's treatment of the in
Vulnerable phases of this great subject
evinces thoroughness and painstak-
ing effort that will make the report a
permanent value.
AL the puDllc mass meeting on
Wednesday evening three of the great
est orators of the country delivered
mastery addresses B. Sullivan
of New York, Mr.. Gallagher, state
deputy of Massachusetts, and Joseph
Scott of California. The audience
crowded the Coliseum to the doors
and each orator received a hearty
ovation.
Among the distinguished visitors
was Father Noll, editor of the Sunday
Visitor, who addressed the conven.
ton on Tuesday. Old Point Comfort
was selected as the place for next
years convention.
