In introducing his subject the speaker styled the day one of sad memories, one for proud recollection; a day to weep and a day to rejoice; a day of meditation and a day of hope. He cited St. Patrick's example as note- worthy in that he converted a whole peo- ple without the shedding of a drop of blood. ~The conversion was one that lasted.

Robert Emmet mounted the scaffold and looked calmly | into the grave. But do you think the spirit of liberty died with Robert Em- met? Do you think that by consigning | him to the grave the cause of liberty was | destroyed? No! There rose up after him the voice of the liberator of Ireland, Dan- iel O'Connell. All these princelings and lcrdlimgs were seized with panic at the volce of this God-like man. But it was rot until 1829 that the Catholic could have | a voice in making the laws of his coun- | try.

The evening exercises in honor of St. Patrick’s day were held in Mechanics’ Pavilion and were attended by fully 8000 people. The large hall was appropriately decorated with the insignia of Erin and the national colors of America. It was.a responsive audience. The stereopticon views of Ireland eiicited the hearty ap- plause of the audience and each patriotic air or Irish melody played by the band evoked rounds of appiause. The address of welcome was delivered by John O'Gara, chairman of the St. Pafrick's day convention. After paying a high tribute to tne Irish race he said that it afforded him great pleasure to welcome the masses who had assembled to do homor to the memory of the patron | saint of the Emerald Isle: The oratoer of the evening, Charles L. Asmussen, told of ite triumphs and sor- rows of Ireland. After giving a word painting of the present conditions exist- ing in Ireland Mr. Asmussen predicted that the long-suffering country will soon be able to take her proper place among the nations of the earth. “The story of Ireland is a sad and lamentable one,” said he, “but a brighter and more glorfous day is now_ dawning. England has done iier best to blight the bright, green isle of the ocean, but she has failed. The Irish people have been persecuted and abused, but their faith has neverj wavered. “The sons and daughters of Erin are noble and true.

ML S Makes Striking Allusion to Flying Flags on Municipal Buildings in Honor of Dead Monarch. ‘“‘Are the Irish in San Francisco to liken themselves to the tin can that is dragged at the tail of a little yellow dog? Flags at half mast on municipal buildings and school children singing ‘God Save the Queen’ is the example shown us by the little descendant of an Irish king. . Fie upon you men of the Celtic race. It is a poor politician that cannot barter civil or uncivil service examinations.” So spoke Father Yorke last night at Metropolitan Temple. It was his first ap- pearance as an orator on St. Patrick’s day. The occasion was an entertainment for the benefit of the parish of St. Charles Borromeo out in the Misslon district. The title of the reverend lecturer's“discourse was “God Save the Queen.” There was no mistaking the allusion made by Father Yorke. He began his ad- dress by reviewing the principal events that made the reign of Queen Victoria noted throughout the world. “Two events have made our days rather remarkable,” he said. “One was the close of the century and the other the death of Queen Victoria. Her reign was protracted over two-thirds of a century and St. Pat- rick’s day furnishes a fitting occasion to review the events which have made that pust century so remarkable. ““We are Irish of the Irish. Our loyalty is anything save bending the knee and singing ‘God Save the Queen.’ Rather would we sing ‘God Save Ireland.’ There are about 8000 Irish voters on the great registers, brt I am waiting to see a gath- ering of them to condemn the action taken by our authoritles. We have many so- cieties in our midst, yet only ‘one of these has spoken in unmeasured terms."” Reviewing the history of the Irish race Father Yorke dwelt upon the history of that country during the reign of Queen Victorfa, dilating upon the grievances of her people. The famine of 1847, with all its horrors, was vividly pictured. 5 “‘Life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness are three of the cardinal principles of our Government,” he said. ‘“How did or how do the Irish people enjoy them? It is necessary for a nation to enjoy these three attributes which are vouchsafed to all free people. We must not only con- sider 0 our hearts, but consider it publicly.

It is said that whatever has been done by England to the Irish people should not be charged to her. This is a dishonest attempt to shift the burdens of responsibility. duties of government so long as they are in power, and so long must they stand for what is done under them or in their name. *“No Minister or Cabinet could stand against the Queen's will. So she must take the responsibility of all the acts of her reign. For every good thing the English Government did, give her credit. | For every bad thing give discredit to her| Ministers. Government does not exist The British selves. “During the famine of 1847 there was nothing between the population and star- vation. The landlords grabbed all and ex- ported grain from Ireland during that year on which the duties paid would have kept alive the 2,000,000 souls that died, and saved the blight with its horrors. The as- sistance offered by the Sultan of Turkey was refused because he had given more than the graclous lady whose praises we sing in ‘God Save the Queen. A curse of God to thee and thine and the memories of those who did these two mil- lions to death."” Father Yorke was warmly welcomed when he stepped upon the stage. The hall, tastefully decorated, was packed to its utmost capacity. Upon the stage were seated a large number of the .clergy and many prominent citizens: Father Yorke was frequently interrupted by applause. his reference to local political conditions, one of his most pungent points, being rapturously received. Thomas Iearned was the chairman of the evening. Miss Mira A. Burnett opened the exercises with an organ solo and Miss Daisy Keane sang a number of Irish ballads. A quartet. composed of Miss Frances X. Barr, Miss Loretto A Barr, Miss Christine G. Barr and Miss Margaret O'Brien, rendered a number of selections on the ‘mandolin, accompanied by Miss Florence Fenton on the iano.

HIGHBINDERS ARRANGE A TEMPORARY TRUCE Warring Tongs Will Await Settle- ment 3¢ San Jos» Troubles Be- fore Continuing Warfare. The warring _highbinder tongs have agreed to call off the threatened war for the present at least. Since the killing of one of their number at San Jose a few days ago the rival societies have sum- moned their hatchet men and armed them for the impending affray. Chief of Police Sullivan, in anticipagion of serious trouble, increased his force in Chinatown. Several nights ago the mur- derers of the San Jose Chinaman arrived here, and at once prepared to resist the threatened attack of their fellow high- binders. Fearing a general slaughter the Tepresentatives of the rival tongs met last night and agreed to a truce until after the trouble in San Jose is dmicably settled. Chief of Police Sullivan was immediate- Iy apprised of the result of the meeting, and he lost no time in withdrawing the extra nolicemen. In speaking of the temporary peace set- tlement of the highbinders, one of the leading members of the rival tongs said last night: ‘““We are hopeful of an early settlement of the trouble at San Jose, and for that reason there will be no further bloodshep unless the hatchet men of the rival tongs get together and fight it out. At the nieeting it was agreed to give the slayers of the San Jose Chinaman one week in which to make amends for killing him, or war will be declared. Should the tongs to which they belong object, blood will sure- ly flow.’ —_———— 825 to San Diego and Return. With privilege of stopover at Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Tickets goad 3) days.

Saleswomen In the vast retail establishments of large cities, many women are employed as saleswomen. Men formerly held the positions that women now hold, and while women's organism is less strong than men’s, they are expected to do the same work.
