Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1919-02-08

died after a lingering illness of
| heart trouble. He was born in
Ireland seventy-seven years ago, but
came to America when he was about
seventeen years of age, first coming
to Wilmington, Del, where he lived
with his only relative in this coun-
try, a Mrs. Riley. He lived about
three years in Wilmington, whence
lie came to Louisville and worked
for some years in the iron industry.
During these years spent in hard
manual work he had only one aim
in life, the priesthood. He began
studying for the priesthood at st.
Mary's College and completed his
course in theology at st. Thomas
Seminary, being ordained June 10,
1873, in the Cathedral of the AS
sumption in Louisville by the Right
Rev. Bishop McCloskey.
Father McConnell's first charge
was at the Church of Our Lady in
Portland, where he remained four
years, later being transferred to ST.
Xavler's at Raywick, where he was
pastor for six years. He was then
called back to st. Cecilia's in Louis
Vile, where he remained a year
and half, coming to greensboro in
July of 1885. Since 1885 Father
Mcconnell has been at st. Stephens,
tireless In his work, and even on
January 10 said the o'clock mass
and preached a sermon. Father
Mcconnell was first and last and
always a priest. He was sincere and
a stickler for the truth. Even in
telling story, if he changed it a
bit from the way he had heard 1t,
he would say at the end II added
that"
His predominant character was
his openness and straight forward
ness. His answers were always
yes" and mo-" and If he thought
he was in the right there was no
persuading or dissuading him. An
other prominent characteristic was
his wonderful Will power. He was
"a very determined man. When he
undertook anything 1t was with his
whole heart and soul and he stayed
with 1t until it was successfully
carried through. In his earlier years
In Greensboro his work was over a
broad field, but he worked at a
disadvantage, as his eyesight was
poor-for many years very poor.
a VI thAA tCCh yCAAo hC was lnC OniJ
priest in his parish. Father Nc
Connell in his attachments as a
scholar had an exceptional fine
memory and a very clear mind. His
memory was accurate until the last
His knowledge OF the Scriptures was
exceptional. AS a priest he was
a man of God and spent a great
part of each day in prayer and
meditation and though his infirmi-
ties were a sore trial during his
later years he was never heard to
complain.
The body of the beloved priest
laid in state in st. Stephens church
from noon on Sunday until the
funeral Tuesday morning, which was
attended by many of the clergy
from the two Kentucky dioceses. On
the morning of the funeral there
were evidences of mourning upon
all sides.

DRAMATIC SUCCESS.

'My New Citrate" had its initial
performance in st. Xavier's audi
forum Sunday night before a
large and appreciative audience, and
was staged again Thursday night
with the same success. The staging
of this play is somewhat unusual
and more elaborate than one gen.
orally sees in the amateur line, the
electrical effects, the storm and spe-
eial scenery for this attraction be-
ing worthy of special mention.
A great deal of credit Is due to
Sylvester Grove for directing this
heavy and edifying drama and
bringing out the best in each of the
characters.
Martin CODY, as Father Letheby.
deserves the highest praise for
handling this difficult part like he
did. Mr.. Hume in the role OF
Father Dan. the parish priest at
Kilronan, looked every inch
priest. His cool and deliberate
acting appealed to the audience.
Bertha Heuser and Ethel Greeley,
with their experience from last
year, performed with ease and
grace in the same roles they ap-
peared In last season. Mary Jean
cite Biehl, as Alice Moylan, the
blind girl, part that calls for the
dramatic in its highest degree, was
capable and well suited for this
part. Thomas Nolan, the well
known architect, acted the first
night in the place of Thomas Clines,
as Jim Deadly, and certainly made
q hit. Allen Mathes and Joseph
were certainly proficient in
the military roles that they acted.
Ruth Donnelly, as Father Dams
housekeeper, brouhgt forth many an
applause by her clever performing.
my New Citrate" is a play that
gives ediifcation from beginning to
end, and some stern lessons of hui
man nature are ably shown. 1t

was an alarm of fire turned in
from Rubel and Edwards in the
evening and the residents of Bar
rett and st. Anthony's place, which
Is several squares away. were
brought to their doors by the re-
peated changing of a fire apparatus
bell. Finally one citizen stopped the
driver and inquired the cause of
the little one-horse parade. The
driver said he was called to a fire
somewhere up there, but he got lost
and with the bell he was sending
out an S. o. S. for help. Here's
another, which explains why our
fire rates are being raised. Going
to the Belvoir apartment fire Satur-
day one of the imitation firemen
lost his hat and to the surprise of
many he had the driver stop while
he went back for 1t. Going a little
further another dropped his coat
and the truck obligingly stopped
again, while the owner went back
for the missing article. A kid
yelled: "Hey, you fellers better
fasten and watch your suspenders
or you'll be going back for your
pants" Naturally all this time the
fire was burning merrily.

Held First Session Tuesday With
out Representation From
Ireland.
Twelve Sim Feiners Imprisoned For
Drilling i'm Private
Hall.
Edward de Valera and Members of
Parliament Escape From
Prison.
IRISH NOT TO BE RELEASED.

The new British Parliament
elected in December held its first
session Tuesday, when James w.
Lowther was reelected Speaker.
None of the Sim Feiners elected to
Parliament from Ireland appeared
at the opening session.
Apparently the much-discussed
question of whether the Independ-
ent Liberals or the Laborites were
to be the official opposition has
been settled by a compromise as
both William Adamson, the Labor
leader, and Donald Mclean, the
newly-elected Chairman of the AS
quithian Liberals, sat on the front
opposition bench with the chief
lieutenants. A heavy programme of
work faced the new Parliament at
Its opening session, but in none of
the bills were there any measures
of relief for Ireland.
From Dublin there has been a
dearth of news, nothing at all being
sent regarding the new Irish Par
lament or conditions existing there.
In the Irish capital twelve Sim
Feiners were found guilty Saturday
of Illegal drilling in a private hall
there and were sentenced to six
months Imprisonment. When ar
raigned they denied the authority of
British laws, and one of them.

From London is was cab1ed that
Prof. Edward de Valera, the Sim
Fem leader, and Milroy and Nc
Garry, also Sim Fein members of
Parliament, escaped from the prison
at Lincoln Monday night, according
to the Evening News. Prof. de
Valera was taken in custody last
spring when the British Government
rounded up number of Sim Fein
leaders and interned them at
time when it was declared a plot
backed by Germany was in process
of incubation in ireland. Prof. de
Valera denied the existence OF any
German plot. He has been held
nevertheless with other Sim Fem
ers and was still under detention
when he was elected to Parliament
at the general elections in Decem-
Der and when last month he was
chosen as Sim Fein delegate to
the peace conference.
Reports from various sources that
the members of the Sim F'ein who
had been informed in England were
to be released were set at nought
Wednesday by a statement .-sde5
from the office of the Secretary for
ireland. The statement declared
that the Sim Fein prisoners were
not to be released under the pres
ent circumstances"

BATON FOR MARSHAL.

Preparations are being made by
the Catholics of the United States
to give the highest honors possible
to Marshal Foch, the greatest Cen
eral in history, when he visits
America next spring. The fact that
he is a fervent Catholic, man who
glories in his religion and who puts
It forward in such a way that 1t
will make him an outstanding fig
ure In the religious history of the
world, argues the necessity for this.
John H. Reddin, of Denver, Su-
preme Master of the X. of c., says
that arrangements are being made
to present a Marshal's baton to
Eoch at a great mass meeting to be
held probably in New York. 1t was
determined last summer to have
this baton made, and Specifications
have now been drawn. The baton
will cost at least $4,000, and will
be the costliest insignia belonging
to any military official on earth.
Marshal Foch is expected in Amer
lea with President Poincare and
Premier Clemenceau, Of France, in
April or May.
