TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF WORK History of an Organization Composed of the Followers of Father Mathew—Sketches of the Officers—The Memorial Fund Commit- tee. T MAY BE SAID IN| a way that the Catholic | Total Abstinence Union | p) of America reached years of maturity today when it convened for | ork. This was the | lopening session of the | twenty-first annual | convention. During the years of its life the union has grown from a | comparatively small organization into one of | the largest and most influential of the coun- try, with branches in all sections of the United States. . The followers of Father Mathew, the great apostie of total abstinence, have been gather- ing in town for several days past in such num- bers that ths badge of the union and the vari- colored silk badges identifying the different local branches of the general organization have become familiar sights. Tue delegates are numbered by hundreds, well dressed and prosperous looking men, and = very fair sprinkling of Indies as well THE OPENING OF THE CONVENTION. | Eight o'clock this morning was the time sct | for the formal opening of the convention and | the Academy of Music the place, but the hour | was apparently a little early for general con- venience. At $ o'clock there was quite a gath- ering of delegates assembled around the en- trance to the academy talking over the pros-| te for the convention. It was nearly an jour later, however, when Bishop Cotter.D.D., of Winona, Minn., the national president of the union, ascended the stage and rapped with his gavel ‘upon the table, a sign that it was about time to convene. Bishop J. B. Cotter, D-D.. was born November 19, 1844. He studied in the Benedictine Semi- nary of St. Vincent at Lahoh, Pa. and St. John University, Collegeville, Minn." He was or- y Right Rev. Thomas L. Grace, D.D., bishop of St. Paul, M 3, 1871, and appointed pastor of St. Thomas’ Church, Winona. He Continued a most active and successful pastor- ointment as bishop. He bishop of Winona by Arc December 2%7, 1889. 2. He was elected presi- j of America three times while a priest, andat the Pittsburgh convention rear he was elected for the fourth time. He served as union lecturer. By his eloquent ap- peals in the cause of temperance he has won a national reputation. The session at the Academy of Music was, in a merely pr@hminary one for the saction of some necessary business. BRIEF BUSINESS TRANSACTED. The real opening of the convention was a re- Sigions one, the celebration of a solemn high mass at St. Patrick's Church. At the business meeting the principal matters were the adop- tion of rnies of order to govern the proceed- ngs of the convention, the appointment of two assistant secretaries, a sergeant-at-arms and s committee on credentials. ou of a delegate from Philadelphia ers and committees were filled by ent by the chair. Bishop Cotter ap- Messrs. Edward Mulready of Boston and A. W. Guttridge of St. Paul as assistant secretaries. The appointment of a sergeant- at-arms was a local one, and at the request of the local committee of arrangements Mr. B. J. Manning of this city was appointed to that po- nition. The following delegates were appointed the committee on credentials. J. P. Mahoney, Boston: W. J. Power. Philadelphia; J. J. Leonard, Springfield: M. M. Burke, Penn- a: Mr.’ Sullivan, Pittsburg: Rev. James anon, Illinois, and Very Kev. J. A. Mal- Wisconsin. MIGH MASS AT ST. PATRICK'S. The committee at once proceeded to busi- ness, while the convention itself was declared formaily adjourned to meet again immediately after mass. The delegates all marched to the church in a body, marshaled by Sergeant-at- | Arms Manning. Arrived at thechureb the pro- cession found already awaiting them there a large congregation, many of the out-of-town delegates, as well as local people, having gone directly there instead of to the brief busmess g at the academy, so that the church was very well filled indeed by the addition of the long line of delegates who came in a body. ‘The ceiebration of the solemn high mass was fan impressive ceremony. Cardinal Gibbons ‘who came over from Baltimore last night as the guest of Rev. Dr. Chapelle, occupied the hand- somely draped cardinal’s chair on the left of the chancel, and many other prominent digni- | taries of the churcu were seated within the rail- ing of the chancel. Among them Fishop Cot-| ter, Bishop Keane, Father Walter, Dr. Chapelle | and Dr. Conaty. The celebrant of the mass | was Rev. J. M. Cleary of the ex-presidents of the Total Abstinence Union. Kev. Eugene Hanno was the deacon and the subdeaco: Rev. Father Conaty. Rev. Joseph F. McGee was the master of ceremonies. The musical ortion of the ceremony was particularly good, aving heen arranged especially for the ocea rion by Mr. M. Maina, the director of music at St. Patrick's, and the work of the large choir was very creditable. The numbers rendere? were as follows: Gounod’s mass to St. Cecelia; (solo- ists of the mass, Miss B. Mattingly, Messrs. W. McFarland and B.A. Ryan ‘eni Creator, baritone solo and chorus (soloist, Sig. M. Maina), jamus,” quartette and chorns: prano: Miss Blanche Mattingly tenor, Mr. W. McFarland; basso primo, Sig ML. Maina: basso » Mr. B. A. Kyan). Organ- Sst, Mise Lulie Boone. MISHOP KEANE’S SERMOS. { Right Rev. Bishop % Keane rector of the Catholic University, preached an eloquent and inspiring sermon to the delegates, taking ax his text the 15th and! ith verses of the third | chapter of St. Mark “God so loved the world as to send His only be- gotten Son into the world that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life.” Bishop Keane began M by bidding ten thousand | welcomes to the dele- gates, men and women, | from all parts of the | land. who are gathered | together, banded in the | fRood cause of eradicating from’ the world one Of its most degrading vices. Returning then to his text. Bishop Keane spoke most feelingly of God looking down upon this Finful world as a father, not in anger, but in pity, and with an all-powerful love that makes all things possible and simple and easy in this love of a father for all humanity. ~ Chri knew what was in store for Him when He startel to save but this boundless Gethsemane and the last agony easy to endure. Animated by the triple love, love for the Father, Jove for the Savior and love for humanity, St. | Paul wexed strong and accomplished « work, and, animated by this same triple love, all is possible to all. There has risen up in the nd an evil that brings the blush of shame even upon the face of the mother chureh itself, and there bas also risen up a powerful army who are asking what they can co todown the demon of sin and misery and wretehedness. It is a noble thing this fighting valiantly for the love of huroanity with this one sin that is the parent of thousands and tens of thousands of other sins. Love is not true love that knows nothow to be indignant; not the indignation born of anger or of hatred, but born of love of God. EXTIRPATE THE DRINK CURSE. The bishop called upon his hearers, pastors and people, shepherd and flock, to rise up and ‘extirpate from the face of the earth the awful drink curse that bows millions of heads in shame snd misery. The spirit that leads one toask, “Am I my brother's keeper?” he was ood glad vo thank was absent from the hearts Of his hearers. They were gathered together in the national capital as Ca and Ameri- caus that all men might see they were not Afraid to fight the good fight. America, he | Seated on the stage were prot the world from sinners, | love within Him made | said, is running a tremendous risk from the power of immense wealth and the power of whisky. The liquor vote controls our elec- tions and the liquor tax sup; ‘our country. Let us pray then that the spirit that animated the men of Le: m and of Bunker Hill and that animated Washington to buckle on his sword and give fight to the enemies of his country, may now animate the people to rise up and ‘battle to the curse of drink, the common enemy of mankind. ishop urged upon his auditors to kee; true to their aime He. their efforts in the interest of a better Sunday observance and to compel the powers that are to carry into effect the laws that are already on the statute books and close the saloons on the Sabbath. He wished that Catholics would have nothing to do with the liquor traffic. That was the sort of a prohibition he would like to sce. Bishop Keane closed his address by asking a blessing upon the noble hearts who are dedicating them- selves to the interest of a suffering humanity. BACK IN THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. After the services in the church the delegates proceeded at once to the hall, where every- thing was in readiness for their reception. ‘The representatives from the varions diocesan unions occupied seats together, and the main body of the hall was well filled when the prosi- dent of the convention rapped for order. ent members of the union and the rey tatives from the clergy. ‘The central figure, of course, was C dinal Gibbons, whose appearance on the stage was the signal fora round of hearty applause. He was accompanied by Bishop Keane and Commissioner Koss. Father Chapelle, Father ‘THERE ARE EIGHT RUNDBED SOCIETIES enrolled in the union, The union has followed inthe footsteps of Father Mathew and has adopted followin, to be sdminiotered all entering the 2 societies: “I promise, with the Divine assistance, and in honor of the sacred thigst and agony of our Savior, to abstain from st into: tiny rinks, REV. THOS. J. CONATY. to prevent pont Bin as Possible, by afvice and example, the sin of in- mperance in others and to discountenance the drinking customs of society. Since the first convention the annual gather- ings have been held in the following places, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia ‘and Boston having entertained the union twice: Cleveland, Ohio, New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadel pits, Duffalo, Indianapolis, Detroit, ‘Scranton, ston, St. Paul, Brooklyn, N. ¥., New Haven, Conn., Notre Dame, Ind., and Pittsburg, Pa. The union has sent out lecturers ghd organ- izers to spread the cause of Catholic total ab- stinence. The union erected the handsome centennial fountain in Fairmount Park, Phila- delphia, at a cost of $56,600. ‘The union is now engaged in raising a fund to endow a chair in the American Catholic University in this city, in honor of Father Mathew, the apostle of total abstinenec. During its twenty years it has been the means of rescuing many from the drink habit and making many happy homes. ‘The union has bean ccmmended’ by WY) Walter and other clergymen occupied seats on the platform. In the boxes on the left of the | stage were seated Miss Frances E. Willard, the president of the National W. C. T. Union, who isa fraternal delegate to the convention: Miss Julia Ames, editor of the Union Signal of Chi- cago, the official organ of the union; Mra. La Fetra, the president of the W. C. T. U. of this District, and other ladies prominent in tem- perance work. Among the delegates were number of ladies who are members of the local societies comprising the union. The fine ap- peurance made by theconvention was remarked upon by Cardinal Gibbons and others. ‘THE ADDRESSES OF WELCOME. Bishop Keane delivered the opening prayer after the meeting was called to order. Then Bishop Cotter, addressing Cardinal Gibbons, spoke afew words for the delegates, whom he spoke of as faithful, self-sacrificing children. The cardinal, stepping forward, was received with loud applause. He said that he was not | present to make a lengthy address, but simply to welcome them with « Learty welcome to the diocese of Baltimore and the city of Washing- ton. He bade them welcome in the name of the clergy and people of Baltimore and Wash- ington. "Some were, like himself, temperate men, while others were perhaps better non- temperance men. He referred to the mission of the delegates as a holy one, to slay the ser- pent that invades many a domestic garden. intemperance, like treason, should be made odious in the land, for the two sins have much in common. Many blessings, he felt sure, would result from thi« convention, one of the best signs of which was the unicn cf the clergy and the laity hand to hand and shoulder to shoulder in the good work He asked the blessing of God upon the deliberations of the convention, and prayed that all might be done in a spirit of earnestness and siuceri Bishop Keane then stepped forward, and in a few pleasant words introdiced Commissioner Koss to speak in welcome as the representative of the District government. COMMISSIONER ROSS’ OVATION. Mr. Ross was treated to a splendid ovation by the big audience present and his address was received with the closest attention and fre- quently interrupted by applause. After speak- ing in the highest praise of the efforts made by the union for the eradication of the vice of in- temperance Mr. Roxs bade them a hearty wel come to their nation’s capital. He spoke briefly of each of the chief public buildings as sources of ‘attraction and interest to all patriotic visitors to the city. He ended his pleasant ad- dress by hoping that the doings of the con- vention would ail be actuated by the spirit that had animated Father Mathew.the great apostle of temperance and noble model of mankind. He returned to his seat between Cardinal Gib- bons and Bishop Keane at the close of his ad- dress of welcome and remained for some little time an interested spectator of the proceedings. in the rear of this trio of important men were seated in a semi-cirele a number of prominent members of the clergy from this city and else- where. ‘THE PRESIDENTS REPORT. At this point the regular order of proceed- ings was resumed and the president, Bishop Cotter, began the reading of his annual report on the state of the union. He spoke brieffy of the condition of the work throughout the land, which. though encouraging, was not, he thought. as prosperous as it should be and as the more sanguine ones interested in the move- ment had been led to believe it would be. He also referred to the efforts being made to estab- lish a Father Mathew chair in the new Catholic University. Rev. James MeKenns of Massachusetts moved a rising vote of thanks to his eminence, Cardi- nal Gibbons, and to Commissioner Ross, who, by the eloquence of their hospitable words of welcome, hud added #0 much to the interest of the convention. Hon. Thos. MeSheey of Toledo, Ohio, moved also a vote of thanks to Biskop Keane for bis dress to the delegates this morning. ‘On motion of Rev. Father Conaty of Spring- field, Obio, the convention adjourned a few muinutes after 12 to meet again at 2 o'clock. NOTES. Mr. Wm. J. Bradley, the editor of the Catho- lie Tolat Abstinence News of Philadelphia, the organ of the union, is attending the convention in the interests of his paper. Mr. Bradley is a | bright newspaper man and popuisr with the delegates. Dr. C. R. Morgan of Philadelphia is the sten- ographer of the convention BISHOP J. B. COTTER. THE TEMPERANCE UNION. Hard Workers in the Cause of Total Ab- stinence. The convention which assembled today in Lincolu Hall is a notable body of temperance workers. For the past twenty-one yeurs the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America has been doing an effective work in the temperance cause, and today, baving attained its majority, the ui finds itself stronger in influence and in numbers than ever before. The union organized in Baltimore on Washington's birthday, 1872. One hundred and seventy-seven societies, scattered through- out the country, were gathered together and bound ins union to make more effective, by organized effort, the objects of the organiza- tion. These objects are stated to be “The elevation of our people, the reformation of the drunkard and the bringing up of our youth in | the path of sobriety, and extension and wide | diffusion of Catholic total abstinence princi- ples.” In order to accomplish these results, the means relied on are defined ag follows: “The practice of our holy religion. The reception of the holy sacrament at stated intervals and especially on St. Jobn’s day, the feast day of the union. The holding of meet regularly, thus giving encour it to weak, and the dissemisation Of ‘Catholic total abstisience ure. ‘The union is divided into diocesan alone ant doteshol sceieiiee Dereiaee, cieties are those located where subordinate unions have not been established. Unions are located in the f dioceses: Boston, Buffalo, Dub Duluth, Louisville, Phila- derannth, Serantes, acuse and Winona, and in the f ‘Louisiana, Connecticut, meneants Dens ty-five societies 7 venty-five loqated ta other ctstes and wusiteostan bie the late Pope Pius IX and also most strongly by Pope Leo XIII, who granted a plenary indulgence to all entering the uuion and complying with the usual regulations. The third plenary council of Baltimore also commended the union for its good work. The hierarchy of the country have time and again sent words of cheer and God-speed to its con- ventions. SOCIETIES FOR WOMEN. A special feature of late years in the work hes been the establish- ment of societies for women. Cadet societies for youth have been al- ways strongly urged. ‘The union has societies from Nova Scotia to Oregon, and in nearly every city a Catholic total abstinence society is found. ‘There are over 800 societies, about 100 of which have not | ‘ vet entered the union, ™=* Its work during the past twenty years has effected a most salutery influence on’ the lives of many, and the amount of goodaccomplished cannot be stated in figures. Prominent in the membership are Archbishop p Eider of Cine: Cotter of Winona, Bishop Mar FAS. M. CLEARY. sumed and soon the it handsome edifice stood as evidence of his t t and indomitable zeal. The latest evidence. of his zeal and the generosity of his people is the very beautiful and commodions school house erected within the past two years. Church and school rank among the best in the city. Father ‘McMahon is a forcible writer and an eloquent nipit orator, as well as an interesting lecturer. ind and affable, he makes friends and retains them. ‘THE FATHER MATHEW CHAIR. One of the most important enterprises ever undertaken by the union is the founding of a chair in the Catholic University to be known as the Father Mathew chair. When this is ac- complished, and thero is but little doubt that it will be, the ‘tnion will have a permanent monu- ment and at the same time a worthy tribute will be paid to the character and work of that dis- tinguished apostle of temperance, the, centen- nial of whose birth was recently celebrated. ‘Three yearsago at the convention in Boston the union decided to raise a fund of $50,000 to establish this chair. The committee appointed at that time, however, for one reason and another did not & to work during the. first year. Since then they have orgenize:l an active campaign, and they will be able to make the ratifying report to the convention that one- lf of the amount needed has been raised. The committee is as follows: Dr. M. O'Hara of Philadelphia; chairman; John O'Brien of Still water, Minn, treasurer; M. P. Cummings, Will- iamsport, Pa.; Thomas McSheehy, Fremont, oy and areas oti Andrew, William Harry Lawton, John mick and W. of Si t MeCormick Paul's society and C. Fitzpatrick. HOSTS OF THE CONVENTION. St, Mathew's Society of This City and Its 4 Honorable History. ‘The reception and entertainment of the dele- gates to the convention of the Total Abstinence Union devolves upon the membersof the Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society of this city. ‘They are the hosts on this ocoasion and it was upon the receipt of a cordial invitation from the delegates from this society to the last convention that it was decided to hold the twenty-first convention here. For months and weeks preparations have been in progress to insure not only a hospita- ble welcome to the delegates, but to enable them to enjoy in every particular their stay in this city. No ‘annual convention of the union has ever received a more génuine welcome, and it is the intention of the members of the Tocal macy fo give all the visitors such 8 good ‘time that they will want to come again.

But St. Mathew's Society has the distinction of being the oldest society inthe union, and the members pro to show that mere age is not their sole ¢ to distinction. ‘The society does not rest its venerable record, although itis proud tohave such a record. Among the one hundred and fifty or more members are active, energetic young men, who are fully capable of carrying out successfully the details of the arrangements which the annual meeting of the national body involves. For more than half a century the St. Mathew’s Society has maintained the standard of total abstinence in the capital of the nation. Ithad its birth in the brain of a man whose enthusiasm in the cause of temperance made him prominent in the early years of the city. This man was Mr. George Sa’ On the Fourth of July, 1840, Mr. Savage gave an enter- tainment at his residence to the teachers and members of the Sunday school of St. Patrick’s Church. Before separating Mr. Savage, who was then an ardent temperance man, and, what was more unusual in the early days of the temperance movement, an advocate of total abstinence, proposed to’ the tenchers that they should form a temperance society based on total abstinence. There were only seven or eight in the little group that heard Mr. Savage's elo- quent appeal, but they all consented. SOME OF THE CHARTER MEMBERS. Some of those who on that occusion became the charter members of the society were John O'Neill, Thomas Daly, Nicholas Callan, Edgar Littell ‘and P. A. Byrne. The last named is the only survivor of that pioneer band of tem- rance workers. Mr. Byrne is in vigorous health, and his long life is a powerful object f the advantages of temperate habit. Mr. Savage, after taking this preliminary step, called on Father Mathew, who was for #0 many yeurs the loved pastor of 'St. Patrick's Church, and told him what he had done and asked that he organize a society and administer the pledge. Father Mathew replied that he would «ly so when Mr. Savage could present the names of fifty persuns who would be willing to join th: society. Mr? Savage was not long in ful- filling thie condition, and in the course of & few weeks he presented himself with the required number at the steps of the altar and Father Mathew adn.inistered the plodge. Among those who thus early enrolled themselves as members of the society was the late John D. Clark, the father of John T. C. Clark. Mr. Clark attained the good old age of ninety-four years, dying but a few years ago. When it is remembered that the first temper- ance society in this country was not organized until the first decade of the present century the pioneer character of St. Patrick's Society, ag it was first known, will be the more fully ap- preciated. Even as late as between 1830 and 1840 temperance advocates were divided on the question of whether the pledge should pro- hibit only the use of distilled liquor or of all alcobolic liquors. In 1840 George Savage and hie associates in forming the St. Patrick's Society took the advanced ground of total abstinenc from all alcoholic liquors. In the vear 149 Rev. Theobcld Mathew, the celebrated Irish tempcrance priest snd orator, visited this country. He came to this city and held meetings and made many converts. Mr. Jchn M. McIntosh, who is still living and is a member of the society, took the pledge at a meeting held in St. Mathews Church, and received from Father Mathew a gold medal, which he has preserved and ex- hibits with great pride. The memorials of Father Mathew s effective work in the cause of temperance are found in the numerous societies throughout the country bearing his name. Mr. Savage was the firs: president of the society aud among others who have held that positign may be mentioned Bishop Keane, Father O'Foole, Patrick Curtin, B. J. Waters, Francis MeNerhiny, P. F. Schmitt, John Finn, P. A. Byrne and Edward 8. O'Connor. ‘THE OFFICER: The society has acted wisely in the selectio2 of its offigers. They are men who are inter- ested in the work and have been especially active in the preparations for entertaining the national union. Rev. Joseph F. Me- Gee, the spiritual di- rector of the society, was born in Baltimore in 1860, and is now con- sequently a little over thirty years old. He was educated at St. Charles’ College at Elli- cott City and at St. < Mary's Seminary in. Bal- timore, aud Was or- dained a priest about five years ago. @mme- * diately after his ordina- FATHER W'Gre. tion Father McGee was sent to this city as assistant pastor of St. Pat- rick’s Church, relieving Rev. Father Whelan, who had been made secretary to the cardinal. Father McGee entered upon his duties with all the enthusiasm and energy of youth and soon became very popular with the large congrega- tion to which he ministered. He relieved Father Walter of the work that had fallen to shim, and his mildness of manner won for him a host of friends. Father McGee, howe’ man of stern determination and earnestness of purpose and devotes all his strength of mind d body to the performance of his clerical duties. “He is an eloquent speaker, a keen logician, persuasive and convincing in argu- ment, and his sermons are always listen2d to with’ much — interest. It in his arish work, however, that Father McGee as_endeared himself most to the members of hiscongregation. Naturally sympathetic, he is tender and consoling in the sick room, and he is always ready with clear and practical ad- vice and suggestion to those who are in trouble. He has the happy faculty of interesting ohil- dren, and the Sunday school of St. Patrick's has enjoyed remarkable prosperity since it has been under his direction. He has been the spiritual director of the Father Matthew Society going on two years, and Ras infused a portion of his own enthusiasm in the subject of total abs nence into the membership, which has largely increased under his ministration. Father Me- Gee is also the spiritual director of the Sodality of St. Patrick's, and has especial charge of the altar boys. He has proved » valuable assistant to Father Walter, and the number of those who have joined the chureh under his instructions proves his devotion to the cause to which he has dedichted his life. . ‘A member of the execu- tive committee who has cgveess kis Sis and ioe e work of pre] ration is Mr, John E.
