former governor of Illinois. "He was
man of great integrity and ability.
I was much impressed on the few oc-
casions l met him."
Judge kavanagh's Survey of His
Career.
Gle was the greatest Irishman of
our day." said Judge Marcus Kavan-
agh, "a fit successor to Charles Stu
art Parnell No Irish leader is given
due credit during his life. He is
always opposed by an overwhelming
power which prevents the complete
success of the patriotic aspirations of
his country. Redmond was particu-
larly unfortunate. He believed sim
cerely that the time had come for a
real union between Ireland and En-
gland, founded on mutual respect and
confidence, to be achieved in the first
place by England's granting some
measure of justice to Ireland.
Says British Broke Faith.
"Great Britain solemnly promised
this, and Redmond promised the Irish
people for Great Britain. England
then broke her promise to him, and
thus destroyed much of his influence
and much of the good he had accom-
plished. This breach of faith created
the Sinn Fein party and embittered
the latter days of the great parlia-
mentarian.
The coming years will do him JUS
tice as leader of high aims, of un-
swerving honesty. OF sterling patriot
ism, of great ability, worthy to rank
with the great galaxy Of statesmen
governors which Ireland gave the
world"
"Oh, dear! Oh, dear" said Chaun-
cey Olcott the great Irish singer and
actor, who is stopping at the Black
stone Hotel. He was a great man,
great man. Ireland has lost mighty
friend this day.
Patrick H. oDonneII's Estimate of
His Services.
Until the last five years of his
life" said Attorney Patrick H. O'Don-
nell, Redmond was one of the great
champions of the Irish race. He was
probably next to Parnell. He did
more in Australia for the Irish cause
than any other man. When he went
there first they wouldn't give him a
hall to speak in. He spoke in pri-
vate homes. and in six months had
aroused Australia to sympathy with
the Irish Land League.
But in the last few years he has
been very conservative. He has been
ready to concede that Ireland was just
a British province. Thus he alienated
the ardent spirits who wanted to free
Ireland forever"

and especially the big meeting that
was held in Orchestra Hall in Sep

the place to overfowing. and $4,000

They remembered the spell of his

when he said:

OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY
OF IRELAND'S PATRON SAINT
IN MANY CHURCHES.
Concerts, Plays, Lectures, and Enter

Planned for the Day.
Undiminished Interest In the Life
Work of the Great Mis-
sionary.

The celebration of st. Patrick's an
niversary tomorrow will center chiefly
in the churches, possibly because it
falls on Sunday. The sermons of near
ly all the Catholic pastors of the city
will deal with some phase of the work
of the great saint in leading Ireland
from darkness into the light of the
Christian faith. This commemoration
will not be confined to parishes that
are chiefly composed of people of the
Irish race, or their descendants, but is
also featured in congregations of other
nationalities- as the French,
churches. It may be said, indeed, that
st. Patrick has outgrown Ireland and
become the universal patron saint of
the world, for there is no other name
in the Church calendar that enjoys
such world wide popularity and ven-
