seeded from the Union. He went
South and made fiery speeches for
secession. He entered the Confede-
rate Army with 4 COMMISSION as
colonel and was one of the party that
began the war by firing on Fort Sum-
ter. He was q dashiDg soldier and
advanced to the rank of brigadier-
general. Because Of dissatisfaction
with President Davis he resigned his
commissicn and enlisted as private
IN Fitzhagh Lees command.
When the war ended General Pryor
found himself with large family,
utterly penniless and without en-
plovment. Like many other Confed-
crates, he made his way to New York,
where, like many others, he received
generous treatment. He first engaged
in newspaper work and then prac-
ticed law, using his first fee, which
was $1,000, to bring his family to
New York. He soon became lead
er of the New York bar, and in 1890
he was appointed to the bench and
shortly afterward the Confederate
veteran became member Of the Su-
IRENE Court of the State OF New
York. In 1889, having passed the
age of threescore and ten, he retired,
and now, after twenty years, ne dies
at the age of ninety-one.

ST. PATRICk'S DAY

Today is St. Patrick's Day, and
as is their wont, the Irish colors
are flying over Burke and Herbert's
bank, Southeast corner of King and
Fairfax streets.
The popularity of the observance
is that March 18th is the date on
which Patrick died, instead of beiH
as is usually the case with annivcr-
saries, the day of birth.
There are many other strange fea-
lures connected with the celebrated
preacher of the fifth century, in that
there is little certainty about the
events of its life, except that ne died
on March 18th. There is less def
ntely known about him than any
ether historic character.
A British museum manuscript
states that latrick was born in 3I2
at Bonavens Tabernae, thought to be
the modern Boulognc in France, but
another manuscript gives the place as
Ean1evan Taberniae, a district IN
Scotland. The Scotch persist that ne
came into this world on Scotch heath
er, but at their own fitzpatrick. in
$73. Date and place are thus differ
ent, according to different authori-
ties.
His birth surname was "Succath,'
and the Christian name patrick
while the name "Patricius,' was given
by Pope Celestine to replace "Suc-
cath" By some he is said to have
visited Gaul (Which includes present
France, Belgium and Switzerland)
and Italy, yet others declare that he,
, Ike Peter, never saw Italy, or evan
Gaul.
Patrick is SAID to have been cpisco-
pally ordained at Rome, and again
that he was ordained at home, wher-
ever that was. The date CO his ordi-
nation is equally uncertain. OF the
general course If his labors little IS
doubt.
Then, according to certain claim
ants. he went from Britain to Ireland

assert that he started from Scotland
in 1872 IN his missionary work. Dates
end places again are contradictory.
Later he was conSecratcd Bishop, but
whether = was when he was forty five
or earlier or later no one can assure
Us.
1t is claimed by one class Ct h!sto-
rians that he wrote & Confession in
his old age but others INSIST that
this statement is untrue. He died IN
Down, Ulster. en- March i7th, 493
though there are persons VIC claim
