Rev. James Matthew Cleary is per-

he was a pastor at Kenosha, Wis.
Early in his sacerdotal career he be-
gan to advance the cause of temper

! lectures and sermons throughout the
country upon this subject, under

services are in demand upon all &C.
casions of public interest i'm the Twin
Cities, and he seldom fails to respond
to the call of his fellow citizens where
questions of their general welfare are
involved. Since the beginning of the
great war he has taken an active and
patriotic part in the work of prepare

all times he has stood staunchly for
the policies and purposes of President
Wilson. His studies and public dis
courses embrace wide range of sub
jects in the economic, social and re-

LANG IS FINALLY
ORDERED TO FRONT
Famous "christus" Of Passion Play 10
Called to coIors at Forty-two.

At the age of AZ, Anton Lang has
been called to the colors. It is re-
marked by Mrs. Gertrude Anterior
that feeling of protest arises in the
minds of all who saw the passion play
at Ober-Ammergau in 1910 and who
hoped to see it again in 1920 with the
same fine Christus. For Lang is not
only a thoroughly well-drilled actor,
but nature presented him with spir-
itual face" No doubt, observes this
writer, "the German government, with
it's commercial eye on the main
chance, spared him as long as pos
sible." 1t is we'll known that all the
younger men of the village have gone
long ago. Miss Madeline Doty gave in
a recent number of The Atlantic pic
ture of the little Bavarian village as
one Of the saddest of places. Mrs.
Atherton points out that though the
loss of Lang would be irreparable, the
fact that he had eventually to go and
the likelihood that he would be of
small military value seem to point to
a significant state of conditions in Ger
many. In the New York Times, where
her letter appears, we read:
Newspapers and others who have
commented on this sacrifice of Lang,
however, do not know just how sig
nificant it is. For the fact that he is
a valuable commercial asset to Ger
many is only half of it. Lang is con-
sumptive. He is no more fitted to
serve in the trenches, or in warfare at
all, than a delicate woman.
I'm 1908 spent fortnight in the
village of Ober-Ammergau. never
wanted to see the passion play, but
did want to know this unique village,
and for the same reason that brought
me there 1 boarded in the home Of
Anton Lang.
Frau Lang charged more than any
one else in that singularly unmercen-
airy community, and was much CEN
sured for it by her neighbours. But she
explained her offense against the spir-
itual attitude of this really Christian
village very frankly to me one day.
"'My husband is tubercular. He
may be the Christus in 1910, but he
never will live until 1920. What little
he makes as potter is due to the fact
that he is the Christus, and the tour
lists buy of him just as they come to
my pension. When he dies the bust
ness will vanish, and I shall get the
minimum price for my rooms-if am.

hlBERNlAN FIELD DAY.

Ramsey County A. o. H. will con-
duct big annual athletic and sports
festival Sunday, September 2.
An interesting bill of contests, dane
ing, music and games, classic tug-of-
war between Hennepin and Ramsey
county teams. Valuable prizes to be
offered. Competitors in the several
events.
The Field Day which will be held
under the auspices of the Hibernians
of Ramsey County Hibernians, Sun
day, September 2, promises to be
big success, and the members of the
committee are out working hard to
assure this. Many valuable prizes
have been secured from merchants of
St. Paul, and most of the divisions of
Ramsey county have donated prizes.
The committee on sports has not
turned in complete program, thus
making it impossible to publish same
in this issue of the paper, but it will
appear in the next issue.
The Irish bag-pipes have been Sc
cured for the occasion, and will fur
nish music for the afternoon, and also
for the jig contest. The committee
is trying hard to arrange a seven in
ming ball game for the opening of the
program. The tug-of-wear team is
working hard, and they wish to chal-
lenge the Hibernians of Hennepin
county for the final pull for the Bremen
trophy, and Ramsey county expects to
have team that will pull any team
our Minneapolis brothers may be able
to get together.

INTERESTING SESSION OF IRISH
LITERARY CLUB HELD WITH DI
VISION NO. S, LADIES' AUX
ILIARY, A. o. H.
Mrs. P. M. Connolly Presents lnstruc
tive Paper on the Universities
and Colleges of Ireland.

The Irish Literary Club which met
with Division No. 5, Ladies' Auxiliary,
Ancient Order of Hibernians, held a
highly interesting and instructive ses-
sion last Monday evening at their hall
at Twentieth avenue north and Fourth
street. The attendance was large and
the program presented was one of the
most enjoyable in the history of this
enterprising club. The opening num-
Der was piano selection by Mrs. Nc
Breen, which included medley of
popular Irish airs rendered with spirit
and skill.
Mrs. Anna Bryant, county president,
Mrs. O'Brien and Mrs. Lee contributed
an Irish dance that elected hearty ap-
plause for it's faithfulness to the ira
ditions of this favorite Irish sport.
A paper on the Universities and
Colleges of Ireland" was read by Mrs.
!P. N. Connolly, which engaged the
profound attention of the assemblage.
Mrs. Connolly had evidently given a
great deal of time and patient research
in it's preparation, and her presenta-
ton of the subject was comprehensive
and entertaining. 1t is regretted that
her excellent thesis cannot be printed,
in FULL owing to a lack of space, as it
is we'll worthy of publication. 1t was
the piece de resistance of the occa-
sion.
Next came whistling solo, "COme
Back to Erin" by Mrs. Blankenhorn,
with accompaniment by Miss Eliza
McGrath, which received such ener-
getic approval that an encore was
graciously given.
A piano solo by Miss McGrath con-
cluded the program.
Refreshments were then served, and
adjournment was made to September
20, when the club will meet with Di
vision No. 6, at St. Stephens Hall
Clinton avenue and twenty-second
street. At this meeting Mrs. McBreen
will read a paper on the land question
of Ireland.

DEATH OF MRS FRANK D.
FEENEY.
Highly Esteemed Young Woman
Passes to Her Eternal Reward.

On the sixth anniversary of her
wedding day, Thursday, Aug. 9, of this
week, the gentle spirit of Mrs. Frank
D. Feeney, passed back into the hands
of it's creator. She had suffered a
somewhat prolonged period of illness
and it had become apparent several
weeks ago that there was little hope
OF her restoration to the health and
activity that had frightened and
cheered a happy little family and a
wide circle of relatives and acquain-
tances. Fortified by the sacraments
of Holy Church and by her resignation
to the divine will she serenely passed
through the portals of the great be-
yond to receive the eternal reward
of life Astounding in all the quail
ties and graces that tend to make earth
better and brighter. Cut off in the
bloom of young womanhood and in the
full joyment Of all that is held dear
in life,-the love of husband and chill
dren, of parents and brothers and sis
tiers and numerous friends, her de-
mise is contemplated with profound
regret, and has ELECTED cordial express
sions of sympathy from neighbors and
friends in the community.
Mrs. Feeney was the daughter-Mar.
garet Genevieve-of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Dickxon of S14 Goth avenue N. E.
and was born and educated in this
city, being graduate of the Van Cleve
school. Just six years ago she was
married to Mr.. Frank D. Feeney, who
is County President of the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians. Two children, both
of whom survive their mother, blessed
their union, Francis and Walter, the
former four and the latter one and a
half years of age. Both her parents
survive her as we'll as the following
brothers and sisters: Mrs. Anna Kais
er, Mrs. Alice Cunningham, Misses
Lula, Florence and Agnes Dickxon
James and William Dickxon.
The funeral will take place on Mon
day morning, leaving the residence SOi
26th avenue N. E. at $3.50 o'clock and
reaching St. Clements Church at
O'Clock. Interment will be made al
St. Anthony's Cemetery.
