The Providence (R I) Visitor is ta¬
king a leading part in the Gaelic
movement. — Patronize it.
The Gaelic League intend holding
a convention Easter week.
The Gael protests against those bo¬
dies of men who call themselves "Gae¬
lic' club This and "Gaelic" club That
and nothing whatsoever Gaelic about
them.
Mr. John F. Conroy, the energetic
agent of the Gael in Hartford, Conn., is
Ticket and Money Order Agent for
all parts of Great Britain, Ireland,
the United States, and Canada. Let
our New England (now, New Ireland)
readers who want these accommoda¬
tions deal with him.
There is an organization in Phila¬
delphia which bears the name,
Comann Ḋún-na-Gall.
At their recent annual entertainment
the card of admission bore the names
of the Reception Committee in Irish,
and in Irish characters. It is needless
to say that Mr McFadden had a hand
in it.
The Irish Standard Minneapolis, Minn
is interesting itself in the Gaelic cause
The Irish Republic published in
New York, is well edited, well printed
and strikes straight from the shoulder
Poor O'Donovan Rossa! The hand¬
ing over of the Skirmishing Fund was
the mistake of his life; yet, instead of
being censured for it, thinking men
accord him praise, for his big patriot¬
ic, honest heart thought it would be
applied (supplemented by other funds)
to the purposes for which it had been
collected. Though the incident has
killed Rossa [and it should not, for
who has not erred?] he comes out of
it as white as snow — That's the opi¬
nion of The Gael
The American Citizen, St Paul, Minn.
is a fighter.
The Pacific Irish-American, of San
Francisco, is a sprightly, new weekly
Irish-American Editors could not if
they would give Gaelic lessons in their
journals because they have not the
means; but they could, if they would,
do as well by keeping The Gael and
the Gaelic Journal before their read¬
ers. We keep a gratuitous standing
"ad" of the Gaelic Journal, — Why not
you, brothers? — Echo resounds, Why?
Because of moving our real estate business and
the time necessary to superintend the erection of a
suitable office for it and the Gael, the latter has run
late, but we expect, with increased facilities, to be
on time in future.
The Brooklyn Eagle is the organ of the A P A's
in this city, and the strange fact is that it is largely
supported by Irishmen. No wonder that they are
as they are.
Mayor Schieren would not permit the Irish flag
to be hoisted on the City Hall flag-staff on Saint
Patrick's Day. What a continuous, bitter memory
these sheenies have? His "honor" seeks to avenge
the whipping the bearers of that flag administered
to his forefathers, the Hessian hireling freeboot¬
er, in the War of Independence — Had his honor
his way, the English Red would float over the Ci¬
ty Hall to-day — Remember that, Americans !
As we go to press we receive the following club
of 10 of Div. 8, A O H, St. Paul, Minn. from Mr
Thomas Kelly, — P M Moroney, T Philips, J C
Cantwell, M Conroy, P Geraghty, W Gormley, V
Dunne, A Costello. J Costello, T Kelly. This is
the initiatory start, as a body, by the A O H, and
we expect it to become general. Good for you, St
Pauls, to make the start; when we are all gone
in ages yet to come, some historian will record
your actions.
Also, M Fahy, Phila., Pa.
Gaels, watch Providence, R I, and Rev Father
Ryan! The largest and most enthusiastic meet¬
ing ever held in America, or elsewhere, came off
in Hibernian Hall there on March 11. We have
three Providence daily papers before us and all
agree in their report that one half of the audience
could not be seated, but stood packed like sardines
in a box. A large number of the clergy of the
diocese were present, the Rt Rev Bishop not be¬
ing able to attend sent his Apostolic Benediction.
Prof. Williams of Brown University was one of
the speakers. We repeat, then, Watch Fr. Ryan
and the Irish Language Movement in R I.
For the Gaelic Journal send 6s to the Rev
Eugene O'Growney, Maynooth co. Kildare, Ireland
