ALL DRUGGISTS BOOK ON HEART AND There were | rd and | | thirty St. Patrick’s day, rightly termed the holiday of the Irish race, was celebrated in this City yesterday in a manner appro- priate to its combined religious and na- tional significance. The fact that the devotional exercises of the day took precedence of the secular and were, if anything, more largely at- tended, served to substantiate the claim to spirituality which is advanced by the Catholic chureh on behalt of her Irish sons. The silver jubilee of St. Patrick’s Church, which has been signalized by an impressive triduum of special services, closed yesterday with a superb solemniza- tion of pontifical high mass, more fully noticed elsewhere. The services at St. Mary's Cathedral, St. Francis Church and other Catholic places of worship were also well attended. politan Hall, and in the evening to the Mechanics’ Pavilion, where excellent pro- grammes, mainly composed of national music and national oratory, were agree- ably rendered. Probably the very latest event of the day’s celebration was the banquet given | by the Knights of St. Patrick at Delmoni- co’s, which proved a notable. success. Celebration of the oration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of | the dedication of St. Patrick’s Church | was brought to a close yesterday morning by the celebration of pontifical high mass. The sttendance was enormous, ga leries, nave and side aisles bemng packed with people. Many hundreds more were un- able to gain admittance. The mass began at 9 o’clock, but long before that hour every seat 1n the vast building was taken to content themselves with standing room and were fortunate if they succeeded in getting beyond the outer doorway. would be difficult to estimate the number of this remarkabie congregation, but a | very conservative estimate makes the figures at least 5000, The heat was so_ex- | Iadies were almost | cessive that many prostrated, but happily for the even tenor of this auspicious silver jubilee, no really ious casualties occurred. The intrinsic maznificence of the mass was greatly assisted by the superb decora- tions of the sanctuary, which was aimost hidden by a profusion of white blossoms, tree palms, ferns, roses and lilies. Art vied with nature in producing an effect of the | utmost brilliance. The celebrant vesterday was Most Rev. P. W. Riordan, Archbistiop of the diocese, sted by the following priests, who | without exception have at some time or | other been conmnected with the parish of St. Patrick: Rey. William B. O'Connor, assistant priest; Rev. P. J. Grey and Rev. Michael King, deacons of honor; Rey. J. ugent, deacon at mass; Rev. J. P. yle, subdeacon at mass; Rev. P. E. Mul- ligan, master of ceremonies; Rev. P. J. | Quinn, as-istant mster of ceremonies. | "Of the foregoing Father O’ Connor, now | of St: ckton, acted in the same capacity at | this church twenty-five yearsago. Father | Grey was pastor thirty-five years ago, ten years before the dedication of the present edifice. Father King was assistant priest ght years ago; Fathers Nugent and Coyle were incumbents eighteen and fifteen years ago respectively, and Father Mulligan was iormerly an altar-boy of the church. Father Quinn is the present as- sistant. Among other priests in attend- anca were: Father J. Brannan, Revs. J. F. McGinty and Joseph McQuade cf Holy Cross Church, Rev. P. R.

This is a day sacred to faith; it is the sym- bol of the cross, which has always bound Irish piety to Irish patriotism. It tells of the man whose national iriumphs have lent him fame; it is the fulfiliment ot that wondrous mission which made the chil- dren of Erin a chosen generation. Each nation has its own conception of what coustitutes glory. *‘Some celebrate those men whose actions are considered great, or those events which are supposed to cast luster upon its hi tory. So the Irish race celebrates its fes- tival, but our hearts are elevated above the petty cares of the world, and are placed upon a high mountain’ of faith. To the eyes of the spirit is shown the eter- nal battle between right and wrong, the fight between light and darkness. If the soul be higher than the body and if heaven be nobler than the earth, then this day of faith tells of heaven, and is glorious with the glory that makes it inferior to none of the festivals celebrated by the sons of men.” The speaker closed his exordium with an eloquent review of the missionary la- Phillip Hammond, Hon.

Father Yorke delivered the sermon of theday, in which he dealt at length with the life and work of St. Patrick, the patron of the church and Ireland’s great apostle. He presented a retrospect of the successiul development of the church since its dedication twenty-five years ago, referring pathetically to the vicissitudes which have removed many members of the flock during that period.

England has forced the- Irish people out of their native and to become wanderers over the face of the earth, think- ing they would trouble er no more. But Dbas she got rid of them? No; she meets them everywhere, and wherever they have influence that influence is used against her, and nowhere is it more potent than in this great republic of the West. “St. Patrick's day,” he continued, “has been accepted by common consent as Ire- land’s national holiday, and it will re- main such until some other day takes its place—some other day on which a gifted son of the Irish race at the head of a united people shall win nor freedom, and either with his pen or with his sword write the epitaph ot Robert Emmet. An original poem, prepared by M. E. O'Connor for the occasion, was feel- ingly read by Miss Gertrude Cahalin. Of the fourteen stanzas the following selec- solos respectively, which were enthusi- astically encored. A humorous dramatic sketch entitled, “The Bilent System,” presented in a masterly manner by Miss Freda Gallick and Louis Butler of the Co- | lombia Theater, was one of the most successful features of a1 excellent pro- gramme, and Miss Georgia Stone, also of | the Columbia, was loudly aprlauded for QV”} clever recitation, ~“The Jealous e, Miss N.

David Manlioyd’s fine rendering of “The Minstrel Boy” completed the musical por- tion of the grogramme. Just before the delivery of J. J. Bar- rett’s oration a diversion was created by the unexpected entry of J. J. Donovan, the State president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, who on behalf of that body presented t:.¢ chairman, Mr. Mulhern, with a tasteful badge representing the American flag and the rising sun of Ire- land in conjunction. This presentation was in the nature of a tribute to Mr. Mul- Lern’s patriotic activity. Mr. Barrett then spoke in part as fol- tows: A patriotic people taking to the battlefield of their native iand to.preserve the liberty achieved for them by their fathers, or 1o secure the freedom which the sovereignty of nations meant them to enjoy, is a magnificent spectacle rarely surpassed in the sphere of human sction. It chailenges the sympathy and admiration of the world. Whether they succeed or fail, the verdict is that it is & proud deed, and those who made the endeavor earn long life in the memory of the race. But there is another spectacle which sur- passes even this in grandeur, and that is the sight _of a people, although banished from fatherland by its relentless misruler, though separated forever from kindred and loved ones, scattered over every quarter of the globe and 'driven to seek subsistence in forelgn 1ands, the sight of a people Who, despite ail this, have carried with them in théir wander- ings, from youth to manhood and from man- bood to the grave, an undiminished love for their native Iand, an unfaltering determina. tion that their country shall yet be free, that its wrongs shall vet be righted, and day 'after dsyand hour after hour gather together in exilo to encourage and cheer each other, and with united voice to make petition to the all- merciful God 1o let fall the avenging arm which has cast its shadow for years upon its inhuman oppressor. The Roman was proud of his country when it vas first in weallh, power and achievements. But when one’suative land has nelther power nor place among the empires of the world and her only glory is a willingness to earn and en- joy her freedom, then to love one’s country 1na to be proud of it, to be proud to ltve for it and (o be willing to'die for it is patriotism heaven-born. That s the character of the love of their native land that stamps the Iiish 4% this 1ove of native iand, this undying Schilling's Best Blend tea is $1.25 a pound. Your money back if you don't like it— at grocers’. JA Schilling & Company San Francisco solicitude for its weltare, is the parent of that other affection that shounld bind a citizen to the country of hisadoption. They are kindred loves and "the motion ot the former gives steadiness and inensity to the latter. He understands imperfectly the mechanism of the heart wno dreams that its ponderous motion, driven by the memories and the ties and the loves that rise from mother iand. can be over- come by absence, by ctange of scene ot by exile. Not 5o ordinary, not 50 common is that wondetful and delienie instrument fashioned by the skiliful nand of God, modeled after his own all-perfect heart, and piaced for noble endsin the breast of his creatures. Spurious is such a patriotism. What the human heart genuinely loves it takes into its very sgbatauce. It conducis the object of its real ’a‘%:uon into its inn ‘rmost chamber, safeguardd it there wita the impree- nable wails of its kyirituai soul, and away from the vulgar ze of the world, secure from rude intrusion. the heart spends itseli upon its trensnre, nourishes it with i1s own life bleod and knots it to itseif with the eter- nal fibers of the soul. Thisis the character of | all true love. The Irishman’s patriotism, he claimed, was of the quality of which the Spartan gravestones at Thermopyi® spoke. Those who protested against its continuance in hisadopted home degraded it to a mercen= ary level and Invesied it with the hideous form of a seifish impulse. The ailegiance of such a man wasa sham, because his | heart was a stranger to an honest love; | he degraded the land of his birth and would betray the country of his adoption. ————— The Celebration at St. Francis Church " Bt. Francis Church was the scene of an impressive solemnization of high mass yesterday, the celebrant being Father Heslan, assisted by Father Vallidamat, deacon, and Father Giles, sub-ieacon. The church was crowded, and 2mong those in attendance were the Leagne of the Cross Cadets, Hibernians and the Gen- lemen’s Solidarity. The choir having sung St. Patrick’s bymp, Mozart's “Twelfth Mass” was splendidly rendered. Father Caraher preached an appropriate sermon from St. John xv:16, -'I have chosen you and ap- pointed you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should re- i k-pplying the text to the life of St. St. Patrick’s Knights at Brilliant Banquet.
