 The Irish Problem.
 Last Monday night Flagstaff was given an opportunity to hear some thing of interest concerning the Elm erald Isle. Emerson school audito- rum was most attractively staged for the little lady, Miss O'Brennan, who has been two years in America tell ing of the problems of her land and speaking on its folk lore, its litera- ture and its music.
 The Board regrets there were not more out to hear the lecture, but feels repaid in having known Miss O'Bren- nan. Mrs. Sisson in a few gracious words introduced the speaker who was preceded by Miss Verna Metcalf, who sang in most charming manner the sweet Irish ballad, "Mother Me Cree. Miss O'Brennan talked of the new Ireland literature and music; of the young generation, struggling hard to preserve and put in form the old ballads and melodies of the romantic Ireland of other centuries. The new movement in Ireland, known as the Sim Fein, means more properly, "We ourselves"-that is the idea now dom- inant, a spirit rather than a move- ment, that will eventually make Ire lands Individuality known and felt in every land and every cline.
 Miss O'Brennan held her audience with her warmth of feeling and rev. erence for the land of her birth. Ar forwards an invitation was given to come and meet personally the little lady of the evening.

 Sunday morning word came to Flagstaff that a very popular young couple had succeeded in stealing a march upon their many friends by be- taking themselves to Williams on Saturday evening and having Judge, Button unite them in marriage.
