ST. PATRICK THIS DAY
Only Watch the Men and
Women, Yes, and the
Children, to Discover the
Spirit That Prompts the
Populace.
The Irish whose ancestor settted the
persons who settled the United States
and other Innds today ore celebrating the
anniversary of the Patron Saint of Krln,
PAlrlck, Apostle of Irelnntl. No one
knows In just what year he wns born;
some say 'twas 372, but then nobody
careo, for nowhere in oil Ireland will
yoU find h, shnake, which Is due proof
that St. 1'aOick lived and nourished
years ago.
Today all over tho world the shamrock
Is being drowned by those Irishmen who
have not Joined the pro'nlbltlonlsts.
Drowning tho shamrock Is a simple pro
cedure. It consists In ono Irishman buy.
lng a dhrlnk, d'ye molnd, for another
Irishman, and perhaps banging him on
the hack and telling him phwat a folne
thing It Is, now. t'be Irish.
Various celebrations of a more formal
character "have been planned for the day
by the numerous Irish societies In this
city. Nearly every son of Krln In Phila
delphia will forefather somewhere to
night with his fellows, whero there will
be tales of proud and heroic Irishmen
who 'nave gone before, of victories ana
defeat that were as glorloUB as victories
for the Irish, of the glowing green hills (

with which Ireland has taken her shr.ro

and for human civilization.

TRADITIONS GLOWING TALKS
Tradition will be taken out of lta hon
ored shrine In the heart of every true
Irishman tonight and hold up for ven
eration. Rich Iilshmen and poor Irish
men will rub shoulders, and many a
wealthy son of Krln will discard his ex
pensive cigar and snatch back the years
In memory by tho magic of an ould clay
polpe, blackened vilrt the aire av it but
swate as honey, d'yo molnd.
It la a saying of many races that the
Dutch settled this country and the Irish
settled the Dutch. However that may
be, more than the Irish pay tribute to
the memory of St. Patrick today and
to the fine and noble things that have
been dfne by Ireland nnd her sori3. You
will see In the Chestnut street crowds
shamrocks on many n mnn and womar
without a drop of Irish blood In their
Veins. You will see them wearing green
tics and green socks, and some of tho
K women will be artner carrying green
P, , pfftnsols, all In honor of the great little
.utneraia isie.
T. A. Daly, an honored Phlladelphlan
and one of the most widely known and
widely read Irishmen In the world, a
poet of whom Irishmen are Justly proud,
Is the nuthor of the following quaint
little rhyme:
"Who says the Irish are flKhtora be birth?
Say little Inn Crone
Talxw thpre'a not a niore peaceable race on
earth,
it yr lave mem aione,
8jj little Dnn Crone "
This tells the story of the Irishman's
love for a good scrap hetther thun manny
more wurrds cud do ut. If ye lave thlni
alone, orhone, they re peacable, and If
ye don't, be ready.
Up In Port Richmond today, where llvo
some of the best Irishmen In the city,
the celebration of St. Patrick's Day Is
taking various forms. In the park squuron
and on the corner., where wise store
keepers provide Heats, yon may tlnd .the
older Sons of Kiln, and there the tales
are being spun rapidly.
McTAMMANY'S DONKKY HAPPY.
McTammany's donkey, about the most
popular baste In Richmond, Is having the
tolme of his life today. This Is the ono
day of the year he does not have to
forage for his carrots, and the other
things he likes. The chllder who have
been cured of whooping cough by run
ning under him threo times and the par
ents of tho chllder nnd McTammany
himself are seeing thut the donkey has
a feaBt.
Reverting to the Idea of a fight, If you
want to start one, look up, first, the
history of St. Patrick. You will learn
that Scntlnnd, L'ngland. France and
Wales all ilalm him as a native son.
Now Ireland also claims him. Therefoie.
to start a tight, walk up to some brawnv
Irishman with a oprlg of green on his
chlst and shlnppln' him on the shoulder,
tell him St. Patrick was born In Scot
land or In Wales or In Jerusalem. Malto
arrangements In ndvawe with your
favorite hospital.
The mast pretentious of the celebra
tions scheduled for tonight will bo that
of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and
here will be ghen full demonstration of
the statement that the Patron Saint of
Erin is honored by races who have no
Irish blood, for the chief speaker will be
Governor Brumbaugh. No one has ever
called the Governor an Irishman.
The other speakers will be Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House of ReDre-
sentatlves; E. J Cattell, city statistician,
a droll man, and Michael Monohan. An
other event of Importance tonight will be
the address of City Solicitor Michael J.
Ilyan, at the Academy of Music.
The ninth annual concert and ball of
the Tipperary Men's Society, of 'Philadel

ent Includes, of course, Ireland; und for
the moment the voice of triumph fiom
nntlnnnllet Ireland Is sllont whilst tho
threatened auger of tho unionist major
ity In iiorlhca&t Ireland also has been
overshadowed by greater happenings.
Ireland, however. Is still what Sir Kd
wnrd Grey described at the beginning of
the war as "tho ono bright spot In the
empire." Tho placing of the homo rule
bill on the statute book has already
worked marvelous chnngos, for Ireland
now haB strength Instead of weakness,
nnd she has given generously of hnr
blood nnd treasure In tho gloat stniggle
against Prussian militarism and despot
ism. The country, moreover, Is In a most
prosperous state, for the farmers are get
ting good prices and most of tho manu
fncturers are working at high pressure;
added to which, tho faith of the peoplo
In the future of their little nation was
never so high.
By DR. ARTHUR LYNCH

BIG LEGAL GUNS BATTLE
IN OVERCOAT DISPUTE
The Case Does Not Involve Millions Corporation Inter
ests Are Not Concerned, But the Attorneys Are
George W. Pepper and John G. Johnson.
Hero's the big news story of tho day.
John G. Johnson and Georgo Wharton
Pepper nre fighting a legal battlo. it
Isn't about a matter of millions. Thov
nre pitting their resources against ono
nnother In a caso Involving exactly one
torn overcoat.
For tho plaintiff: Henry, Pepper, Bo
dlno and Pepper.
For the defendant: John G. Jo'nnson.
John Bedford Hhoher, of MJ7 Walnut
street, a senior In the University of Penn
sylvania, was putting on his overcoat In
the Hotel nittenhouso, nsslsled by a lint
hoy, about a fortnight ago. James
Holmes Hay, of Wynncwood, came nlong,
nnd, according to Mr. Shober and the hat
hoy, walked directly Into tho coat with
such force t'nnt It was lorn. Mr. liny
gavo his card to Mr. Shobor, who, on tho
following day, went to Georgo Wharton
Pepper nnd told the story. Mr. Pepper
srecpted the inso and a formal letter,
asking for remuneration, wns sont to
Mr. liny. In due course of tlmo a reply
came, written on tho stationery of John
G. Johnson.
That la ns far as tho matter has pro
gressed. The case may be settled peace
ably, and, again, It may go to court for
settlement Tho walls of t'ne Land Title
Building, which houses the ofllcca of both
tho distinguished attorneys, quiver with
repressed excitement. Tho case has been
kept ns quiet ns possible. Whothcr Mr.
Shoher is going to bo paid for tho rift In
his overcoat Is not divulged at Mr. John
.oil's olllro. Tho plaintiff's explnnntlon
of the matter Is that ns tho garment wnB
made by one of tho best tnflors In tho
city. It Is no more than right that It
shmild be enred for by tho ablest of legal
talent In tho city.

similar to that of last year, when, It
Is snld, enormous sums wero spent by

ASSOCIATED MESS
Attornoy Genornl Sees No Ground for
Action Under Antt-trust Law.
WASHINGTON, March 17,-tamcs M.
Beck who as counsel for tho Sun Asso
ciation recently asked the Depar men
of Justice to prosecute tho Associated
Press for alleged violation of Iho anti
trust law, hns received n letter from At
torney General Gregory Informing him
thoro Is no ground on which ho can tako
such action. Mr. Gregory says:
"Assuming thnt tho kind of Bervlco
In which tho Associated Press Is engaged
Is Interstate commerco (a question not
frco from doubt), I nevertheless mil of
tho opinion that It Is no violation of the
antl-trust act for n group of newspapers
to form on nssoclotlon to collect nnd dis
tribute nowa for their own benefit, nnd
to that end to ngreo to furnish tho nowa
collected by them to each other or to tho
association; provided that no attempt Is
mndo to prevent tho members from pur
chasing or othcrwlso obtaining nows from
rival agcnrlcs. If that Is true, tho
corollary must ho true; nnmcly, that
newspapers desiring ,to form and main
tain such an organization may dotor
mlno who shall bo and who shall not
bo their nssoclates.
"This, of course. Is not to say that
such nn association might not develop
Into nn unlawful monopoly. The facts
adduced, however, In my opinion, do not
show thnt has happened In tho case of
tho. Associated Press."

Her Failure to Appear Disappoints
Loyal Sons of Erin.
St. Patrick did not get to Philadelphia
this morning, Many loyal sons of Old
Erin wero disappointed. For many days
they had planned a royal reception But
when no St. Patrick appeared the yards
of green buutlng which were to have
been used In decorations were sorrowfully
stowed away.
This St. Patrick, strange to tay, Is not
an Irishman; stranger still Is the fact
that this St. Patrick is spoken of us
"she."
Just to remove all doubts, the St, Pat
rick referred to Is the steamship St. Pat
rick. Many faithful native of the Emerald
Isle who had expected the arrival of the
steamship were In a quandary. They hon
ored the name of their patron saint, but
they did not have any too much love for
the English flag, This question was set
tled when It was announced that Captain
Mayo, of the St. Patrick, was going to
have a green flag with a harp of gold in
the centie Hying Instead of the British
emblem.
The St. Patrick la bound here from
Rangoon, India. She is carrying a full
cargo of valuable East Indian products.
She left Rangoon cm January ?8. ' It Is
believed that her arrival has been delayed
by the military activities around the Suez
Canul.

LIFE AND PRAYER
Tho noonday service In old St. Peter's,
3d and Pino streets, wns conducted by
the Rev. J. W. H Stewart, assistant
rector of the church, who took for his
theme, "Christian Life In Action nnd
Player." "It Is easy enough to lilt tho
trail," he suld, "but prayer Is needed
to keep us on It.
"The will Is the dynnmo of all human
netlon. Hofore nny notion can begin, tho
will muBt give Its consent. It must direct
the mind, which sends on the message to
the motor centres of action. In order
to act llko Christians we must Christian
ize our will. We must bring our will
Into union with God's will. Wo must
pray, 'Thy will be dune.' Prayer, then, la
the expression of the purest Christian life
lit action. It is not selfish. It Is tho
Inspiration to do our life's work better."
