Philo Celtic,
The Philo Celtic Society takes no vacation.
The late Lieutenant General Smythe has left the
interest on fifteen thousand dollars to the Gaelic
movement. The late Dr. McHale made a simi¬
lar bequest. We hope others will follow.
Mr. O'Mulrenin, Hon. Sec. Gaelic Union, des¬
ires us to say that he is considerably in arrears
to his American correspondents and he will dis¬
charge the debt as soon as possible. We, too,
are behind to several of our correspondents in¬
cluding our friend Martin P. Ward of San Frans.
As Mr. Tierney has left to our discretion the dis¬
position of Gaels for which he sent us a £. we
shall send two copies each to the Sisters of Mer¬
cy's Gaelic Classes at Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, Dun¬
garvan, Co. Waterford, Tuam, Co. Galway and
to Mr. Daniel O'Leary, National School at
Dunmanway, Co. Cork, for the most deserving of
their Gaelic pupils. We hope others will follow
the patriotic example of Mr. Tierney. Actions
not words demonstrate a man's sympathy for the
cause which he professes to promote.
Let every reader get one new subscriber. One
in the aggregate does not seem much, yet if all
sent that one it would double the circulation.
