Appropriate to the Holy Season of Advent Special Correspondence of the Kentucky I Irish Amerlcanlj HBNDBRSON Ky Dec 3Last SunI I day being the first of the month wasI I communion day for the Ladies AltarI I Society The meeting was after beuedic I tipu of the blessed sacrament in the afternoon and was more largely attended than usual but it is the desire to have each married lady admitted to membership The object apparent to all Instructed Catholics can be promoted bye an increase of revenue the stipulated 1 price per month being from ten to twentyfive cents owing to the ability to pay but as is usual here the poorer I classes are the first on duty with bottI I money and labor There are new vestments I to be had the organist must beI I paid church expenses be met janitors I fee coal bill and all other incidental requirements necessary to decent worshipI I such as the members of Holy Name paris desire and if we who feel at times that the burden is great for us to carry will only stop and think of the meaning of the grand inscription over the high altar whiA reads 11 Whatsoever thy band finds to dot do with thy might for rGods aotaad glory and iu His name trusting to Hint for strength if i wet I ponder over the aieanbg and have faith Ufee anchor our otarag can riot jbut 1 ll begin anew with the deflre to limit our worldly wants and save up more mites with which to beautify the temple so sacred which is the receptacle of the precious body of our dear Lord from whom all good gifts come Miss Mary Flaherty who is acting in the capacity of trained nurse and who goes out to private homes has the praise of her Protestant friends of cap and apron order for constant duty attended by a mirthful and encouraging demeanor which is to be envied and which gives an air of wholesome sunshine and hope to the sick The holy season of Advent is upon us with suppressed gayeties appropriate to the heralding of the nativity of the Christ child the most important event of historical fame to mankind the annual renewal of which is a pleasure unsurpassed and never ending to Christians Holy Name church is in possession of a beautiful Christmas crib purchased last year by our late pastor at a neat price somewhere in the reach of 150 which is a joy forever to behold owing to the unique work good material and sacredness connected with it The children were enraptured over the beauty of the Infant Jesus in the manger the natural likeness of donkey aud oxen grazing and the construction of the primitive stable containing the precious figures of both mother and spouse also the venerable greybearded wise men who bore costly gifts for the babe What a comparison between the interior of a consecrated house where one is at peace with God and cares left outside for a time and the outer world with its strivings for wealth for contentment and fame One possessed of these finds friends ready to praise and exalt and the world applauds as long as he is subservient to its wishes but there is seldom in that heart a grateful tribute of love to the Creatorno obligation to any but selfall sublime principle swallowed up by sensuality Selfindulgence an occasional gift to a friend but no donation to Gods cause no Christian monument erected to his credit and memory But alas death the inevitable comes and robs him of his possessions and portrays him in his ghastly individuality shorn of soulsaving graces The frequent mention of bazaars and moneymaking enterprises in Louisville for church purposes kindles within us desires for something similar by way of diversified pleasure as it would bring in help from the outer circles and be a novelty here Ere a great while we may expect another visit from our Right Reverend Bishop as a class of first communicants Is being prepared for the sacraments We hail his coming with delight A fine system of business training is in session here under control of Christie Buckman lately from San Antonio Texas but a native of Kentucky This school is complete In its business course is progressing effectually and deserves mention as it is no ordinary cheap John affair Terms reasonable good sound instruction guaranteed taught night and day by one thoroughly quali fied owing to very best advantages havIng been procurred by Mr Buckman who graduated with honors and has been President of a similar school in Texas for several years Mr Buckman is a Catholic gentleman in first class standing of high literary attainments but has pupils ofal1 conditions and creeds and deserves clever patronage Miss Katie Hart a Sodality member has been bedfast for some time but is no worse Among the many ladies in Catholic circles noted for beauty of face form and conduct are the following Missses Anna and Mary Ryan Misses Hart Grace Wrenn Lollie Blondin Maggie Lee Brigid Haffy Mamie OByrne Josle Rutlinger Lizzie Burch Nellie Mary Allie and Eliza Manion Mary Delker and many more whose names I can not now recall Dame Rumor whispers another wedding in the near future in high circles but Woe to me if it should be In hints which may be guessed The bridetobe if spelled i Lee I will not tell the rest restMRS MRS SWEET LIFE ENDED Miss Ellen Aylward beloved cousin of Mrs Kate Cain of 1108 West Oak street died last Saturday at her home after a brief illness The announcement of her death was a great surprise as well as a profound shock to her relatives and friends Miss Aylward was a thoroughly accomplished lady possessing all the graces of a liberal education and endowed with a charm of manner rarely found These gifts were united to a kindly heart and charitable disposition Of her it might truly be said that her tight hand knew not the benefits bet left hand was bestowing To do good by stealth was more than her purpose jt was the very habit of her quiet life which meant so much for the accomplishment of Christian duty The funeral took place on Monday morning from St Louis Ber trands church with requiem high mass and was very largely attended Very Rev Father Fowler delivered a touching eulogy with much grace and iinpressive ness neSflOur hearts are bowed with grief profound foundWe We shed the silent tear Our sighs are now the only so ud That floats above her bier Route dispatches assert that Fathers OKeee and Melons presented corn plaints against Biafiop Matt of Dearer when received by Pope Leo on Tuesday SPIRITED

interesting meeting as it will be the last of the year and President James Campbell and Secretary John Doyle would be gratified to see every member of this grand charity organiza tion present From current reports it would seem that the conference organized recently at St Brigids church is doing much more work than the older and stronger ones Before another year it is hoptd all the German Catholic churches will follow the example of Father Okies congrega tiou and haveorganized conferences The address at tomorrows meeting will be delivered by Rev Jfathrr Ohk of St Vincent de Pauls and

The funeral will take place this morning at St Aloysius church with solemn requiem high mass The pallbearers will be Capts Bright and Hendricks and Officers Edward Powell Dennis Smith James Collins and Peter Maloney MEETS WITH FAVOR Catholic Knights Arrange For Creation of Two Funds The question of the distribution of the funds in the hands of the local Central Committee of the Catholic Knights of America has been settled in a manner that should meet with the hearty approval of every member of the order For some months past the subject has been debated at considerable length but without any satisfactory plan being suggested Pursuant to resolution adopted last month the matter of disability and prize funds was referred to special committees who met last Friday night with Joe McGinn all the members being present including State President Michael ReichertThenecessity The necessity for a disability fund has become quite apparent and the solution reached will give this grand order still more popularity among Catholics Resolutions providing for the appropriation of tl50 for this fund were unanimously adopted and hereafter the member who is disabled through sickness or lack of employment will be cared for This is a benefit not conferred by any other fraternal society that we know of and speaks loudly for the liberal spirit of the Catholic Knights It was also decided to set aside the sum of 150 to be distributed as prizes among the branches showing the largest percentage of gains in membership during the time intervening between now and the next State convention Following the installation of officers which takes place at the January meeting arrangements will be made for an entertainment the money reai there from to be devoted to the mil tainauce of the funds

Its Chief William Sullivan Evil Doors Now Fear and Give This City a Wide Berth CITIZENS WANT FORCE HELD INTACT The splendid condition of the Louisville detective department at the present time is mainly due to the efficiency of the Chief Capt William Sullivan When the present Chief took charge there was very little discipline in the department and scandals frequently occurred Capt Sullivan has all the requisites to make a good Chief In the first place he is honest and can be trusted with secrets which naturally come to the department In the second place he is sober and always on duty To remove a man who has attended to his duties so faithfully would be an unwise step and it is not belIeved the incoming Board of Safety will do any such thing unless a better man can be found Honesty and integrity is the first requirement in the detective department Citizens and taxpayers are frequently compelled to entrust their lives and property to the members of this department and there should be no suspicions attached to the head of the bureauCapt Capt Sullivan is ably assisted by Thomas Check as Secretary Charles Hickey and William Sexton Eugene ODaly and William Walker Will Hard ing and Dee Armstrong Martin Donahue and Charles Ross detectives All these men have fine records Capt Eugene ODaly served in the Union army and has been on the force for twentyfive years Martin Donahue has been in the Council and served as a License Inspctor Armstrong and Harding have made splendid records for ones so young and ft is so with all of them The Board of Safety will make a great mistake if it dismisses any of these efficient men It is a well known fact that Louisville is given a wide berth by thieves and cracksmen and when any venture here they are promptly placed under arrest It is much to the credit of Chief Sullivan and his men that not a single robbery took pUce during any of the great gatherings here the past year Evil doers wisely shun this town Let the present force remain intact and this excellent state of affairs will continue to exist Mayor Grainger will send to the Board of Aldermen next Tuesday night the names of the gentlemen selected for the Boards of Safety and Public Works The Mayor has thus far kept them a secret but the name of the next Chairman of the Board of Safety will surely be Edward TierneyNace Nace Vetters friends are now confident of his reappointment as Superin tendent of the Workhouse His admin istration has been honorable and success fuland this with his loyal and earnest work for the entire ticket should land him His appoinment would meet with approval everywhere everywhereFRANKFORT FRANKFORT Grim Reaper Death Has Been Busy at the Capital City Special Letter to the Kentucky Irish American FRANKFORT Dec 5The

IrishAmerican Society the prize being a banquet for the winning side at the expense of the losers has enthused the members to a high degree I This was apparent to everybody at the largely attended meeting held Thursday I night at Hibernian Hall when six new I members were proposed President Joe Nevin was in the best of humor and confident that his side would be victorious while Capt Murphy laughed and intimated that his men had a surprise up their sleeve The battle for new members is on in earnest and it will be surprising if several hundred names are not added to the roll within the next few months Neither side should hold back applications President Nevin presided the meeting abounding with enthusiasm Secretary Flynn was again at his desk and through his efforts facilitated the transaction of much routine business Treasurer Keenan made his annual report which was very gratifying the society being in a much better financial condition than a year ago Upon motion the two Captains were allowed to add to their teams a number of members not present when the contest was first started During the evening there were spirited talks led by the President and partial pated in by Mike Francis John Flynn Tom Keenan and others Some surprise was expressed at the nonaffiliation of IrishAmericans who would be benefited by membership They may remain outside its fold longer but when they apply for the sole purpose of taking advantage of unforeseen events and boosting themselves they need not be surprised if they are turned down The election of officers takes place at the next meeting Thursday night week and already much interest is felt therein Whatever the result the organization is assured capable officers there being so many good men to select front Every member should be present on Thursday night December 10 They will be well repaid and entertained Several inipor tant propositions pertaining to the wel fareand future policy of the society are to be debated and
