Philo-Celts.
Brooklyn's Philo Celts celebrated the anniver¬
sary of Archbishop McHale on Sunday evening 6th
inst., and a very choice programme was excellent¬
ly rendered by the talent present. Mrs. McDon¬
ald executed a number of choice songs in her usual
brillant style, accompanied on the piano by Miss
Kelly.
President Gilganon made a very felicitous Irish
address and expatiated on the life of the lamented
prelate in choice accents, Miss Hines opening the
exercises with a piano solo, and Mrs. McDonald
following with that beautiful hymn, Palm Branches
to the memory of the illustrious dead.
Bernard Martin then recited the Language of our
Race, Alfred Ryder sang the Exile's Lament, ac¬
companied by Miss Lacey, the Cricket on the
Hearth by the Misses O'Connor elicited loud ap¬
plause as did Auction Extraordinary, by Miss Agnes
Dunne. Hon Denis Burns gave Craibhin Aoibinn's
Lines on the death of Archbishop McHale, Lettie
McDonald executed a piano solo in excellent style,
John Byrne recited Shawn's Head in such a man¬
ner as would leave no doubt on the hearer's mind
but that its sentiments were partaken of by the
speaker, Mrs Donald sang Shandon's Bells, in I¬
rish in excellent style, and also Kathleen Mavourneen
Excepting Mrs McDonald and her daughter and
the Misses Hines and Kelly, all the other partici¬
pants, Hon Denis Burns, the Misses O'Connor and
Dunne, Mr Martin etc are members of the Society.
In order to give parents an opportunity to
bring their children to the Irish school to learn
the rudiments of the language of their Country, the
Society has changed the hours of meeting on Sun-
days, so that the meetings will be held, in future,
between the hours of 2 and 5PM on Sundays; the
Democratic General Committee having generously
given the free use of the hall during these hours,
for which kind consideration the society tend¬
ers its grateful acknowledgments. But this is as
it should be for three fourth of the members of
the Committee are Irish or of Irish-descent. But
so is the New York Democratic Committees, yet
they are left behind by our Brooklyn friends.
Let all remember the change in the hours of
meeting.
Once for all. Let every reader of the Gael,
whether an old or young subscriber, try to get one
or two others to subscribe.
Our respected contemporary, the Buenos Ayres
Southern Cross, copies freely from the Gael, which
is in itself a pleasing compliment.

The Philo Celtic Society of Phila, has resolved to
honor the memory of the late Most Rev. Archbish¬
op John MacHale, by worthily celebrating his anni¬
versary on Sunday evening the 13th inst. There
will be fitting addresses spoken in Irish by Mr. Ly-
ons also songs and recitations in the Irish language
by the members of the society. We extend a heart¬
y invitation to all our friends and former scholars to
be present, and promise them an enjoyable evening.
It is an event worthy of the cooperation of true Irish
men to respect the memory of one who loved and
worked so diligently to perpetuate our Irish
Mother tongue. By honoring his memory we honor
our cause.

The Gael feels graceful to the BOSTON PILOT for
its kind notice of it in a recent issue. But the pat-
riotic editor of the Pilot is yet a fugitive from the
land of his birth.
There is no Catholic Church within
80 miles of Coleman, Tex. — P. Noonan.
The only salvation for Labor is Co¬
lonization.
We are highly satisfied with the kind notice
which the Irish-American Editors generally
give the Gael, and though it is their duty, still
sometimes, those who do their duty should be re¬
cognized.
