HOXAX'S I'OIXTED REMARKS
They Were Endorsed by K. J. Johnson and
Others -Short Addicsscs by lr. P.
O'llura-I'lnn to Increase
Treasury Reserve.
A sneclal meeting of Lackawanna
County council of Irish-American so
cieties was held In Ancient Order I'nlt
ed Workmen's hall lust evening from
7.30 to 10 and the session was from lirst
to last one? of the most interesting yet
held.
Senator J. C. Vaughan was tlu pre
siding ofllocr, and when the special
business was transacted he called on
Frank J. Johnson for a speech or a
song, either or both. The respondent
first gave an eloquent address on the
Irish race and then he favored with
"The Pretty Maid Milking Her Cow."
which he sang In clear musical tone.
Secretary Dawson sang an Irish ballad,
James Donnegan rendered two selec
tions. Thomas Folan sang a tenor solo,
and with u. sudden jump the meeting
leaped to a s'lirited dlseusslnS of the
American Protective association ques
tion. Delegate McTIernan was the one re
sponsible for this. Home one made a
motion to adjourn to meet the third
Sunday evening of February. He
amended it to meet the second Run
day and explained that It would be well
for them to' come together before elec
tion, for there might be some candidate
seeking otlic-e who deserves "a cutting."
as he termed It. The third Sunday will
come before election and Mr. McTler
nan's amendment was not necessary.
After this the eloquence waxed forth.
A delegate from the North Knd said
that there was a meeting In the after
noon In St. Mary's hall of the societies
that would not Join the council be
cause the name Irish was prellxed to
It. He said that the chief kicker Is now
a candidate for olllce and it would be
well to retnemher him.
Ilonun Hcciime Indignant.
P. J. Honnn was nt this stage aroused
to an Indlgrnant pitch, and he Hayed the
son of an Irishman who is too proud to
acknowledge his extraction, despite
that it is only accident that causes the
son to be born on this side of the line
and the father on the other. The dele
gate from Providence said that the new
organization of societies banded to
gether those whose membership Includ
ed Catholics of other nationality.
Mr. Ilonan said that the other na
tionalities prove themselves well able
to look out for their own Interests, and
the man who will not aflillate with the
Irish-American council in order thut he
may be at liberty to help along the Po
lander. the German, or any other one,
is a coward at heart.
"He can't 'day in my back yard, nor
I won't slide clown his cellar door," con
cluded Mr. Ilonan.
Mr. Johnson spoke again. The class
of Irish-Americans referred to by the
previous speaker, Mr. Johnson charac
terized as Irish American Protective
associations, who tire doing more harm
to their race than the insidious organi
zations working silently in the dark.
M. H. Giiflln, James H. Hrown, Peter
Clifford, John H. Devlne and C. C.
Donovan made remarks, the tenor of
which were thnt the Irish citizen is
forced into a position of defense and
must take a firm stand against the at
tacking foe or else be crushed out. Tne
Irish will right it out to the bitter end,
they said.
Dr. P. J. O'Hnra was present from
Branch 35, Cntholic Mutual Benefit as
sociation, and he made a short address
of much interest, In which he commend
ed the work of the council and assent
ed to the urgent necessity of going for
ward with might and main against the
secret organizations inimical to Irish
Interests. Dr. O'llura will recommend
to the next meeting of the Catholic
Mutual Heneiit association that they
atliliate with the council.
Will Hold an tntertainmont.
Senator Vaughan announced that nt
a meeting of the executive board the
question of holding an entertainment
to raise funds for the treasury of the
council, was ordered referred to the
members for action. The date recom
mended would be the evening of St.
Patrick's clay, March 17.
Peter McCoy, of the West Side, took
exception to the date because It would
conflict with a benefit performance to
be given with a view to assisting Kd
ward Kelloy. the sweet voiced vocalist,
to a conservatory of music. Mr. Mc
Coy said that In view of the object of
the council; namely, the advancement
of the members socially, murally and
Intellectually, it would be a proper
thing to postpone the entertainment.
O. F. McKenna said that the anniver
sary of Ireland's patron saint will be
observed by the Ancient Order of Hi
bernian societies. Board of Erin, of
Lackawanna county, with a parade,
followed by an entertainment in the

ment on Easter Monday night. Frank

tainment with full power to make all

able hall In the city will be secured.

dent of St. Thomas' college, has ex

organizations, and as it is not the easiest
thing In the world to satisfactorily con
duct the Individual organizations It Is
very evident that a conglomerate feder
ation with Its varied and vastly differ
ing interests, such as Debs Is working
for, could never stand.
The Order of Railway Conductors Mr.
Wilkins reports to be In a very flourish
ing condition. The membership Is
steadily Increasing and it is also grow
ing in financial strength. Mr. Wilkins
is highly pleased with the condition in
which he finds the Pensylvanla divi
sions. CHEESE AND NOT FISH.
I'ormor Is tho Substance of Which Mr.
John Davles Was Relieved.
Quite a sensation was created on Sat
urday by a report in an afternoon con
temporary that a young married wo
man of Brick avenue. Providence. Mrs.
John Davles by name, had vomited a
live fish seven Inches in length and one
and one-half Inches In breadth.
The tale sounded somewhat pisca
torial, und one of The Tribune's young
men Investigated It. The story was
correct In the main details as printed,
with this exception: . Instead of being
a living fish seven inches long and one
und one-half Inches broad, it was a
chunk of cheese about three and one
half inches long and han an Inch in
breadth.
At least Dr. Fulton, who was the first
to propounce the fish story untrue, said
it was cheese. Dr. Donne, who made
an examination of the ejected sub
stance, said it was undigested milk,
coagulated, and formed much after the
shape of a fish.
At all events Dr. Donne says It was
not a fish, and Dr. Sullivan, who was
present at the examination of the sub
stances, agrees also that it was not a
fish. That It was not a fish Dr. Donne
is willing to stake his reputation as a
disciple of Esculapius and Izaak Wal
ton. Bradley Placed I ndcr Arrest.
A tramp giving his name as James
Bradley, and his residence Bethlehem,
was arrested Saturday on suspicion of
being implicated In the overcoat thefts
which have of late been reported to the
police. He had a coat which not fit
him and that he did not possess Friday
night when he applied at the station
house for lodging. He claims the coat
was given to him.
