The Emmet Literary Association
entertained about forty friends at a
banquet at the Evans hotel last Mon
day night, it being the 134th anniver
sary of the birth of Ireland’s martyred
hero, Robert Emmet. ALer the
tempting viands that had been pre
pared for the guests had been disposed
Of T. V. Golden, who presided as
toastmaster, stated the cause of the
gathering and referred in glowing
terras to the life of the iman whose
natal anniversary was celebrated in
all parts of the world by Irishmen in
whose hearts was the hope that the
day was not far distant when Ireland
would take her place among the na
tions of the earth as a free and Inde
pendent country. Senator J. A. Don
ahoe was called upon and delivered
Emmet’s last speech, which was de
livered in the dock just prior to the
passing of the death sentence upon
him, and Mr. Donohoe’s delivery of
this classlo was such as to win for him
self additional laurels as an elocu
tionist. Judge Carton, E. H. Whelan
and William Fallon, delivered recitat
ions which convinced their friends
that they were past masters in the
art of elocution. J. J. McCafferty,
Col. Nell Brennan, H. J. Boyle and
Rev. Father O’Sullivan delivered
addresses, the one by the latter being
about the best ever heard by an aud
lenoeata simlltar meeting in this
City. His word picture of the scenes
and events in Ireland during the
many years that the people of that
country were struggling to throw oil
the yoke of British tyranny and op
pression was touching and deeply
moved his auditors. The banqueters
dispersed at 1:30 and each one felt
that they had been allowed to partic
ipate in one of the finest meetings of
that character ever held in this city.

Will Have Public Library.
The Annual township meeting of
the electors of Grattan township was
held at the court bouse last Tuesday
afternoon and was one of the most in
teresting town meetings held in Grat
tan township for severallyears. There
has been considerable dissatisfaction
among the tax payers of the township
over the way the road money appro
prlated for some of the districts was
expended the past year and they were
present in force to express their dis
approval.
The meeting was called to order and
T. V. Golden was elected chairman.
The minutes of the last annual meet
ing were then read and approved
Senator Donohue then made a motion
that a levy of three mills be made up
on the taxable property of the town
ship for tiie purpose of supporting a
public library. After the motion had
been duly placed before the meeting
Senator Donahoe made an eloquent
and forceful address in behalf of the
levy and explained to the electors the
purpose of the levy. He said that An
drew Carnegie had made a proposition
to donate $1,000 for every hundredivot
ed for by the tax payers (of the town
ship for the purpose of building a pub
lic library. That if the electors voted
the levy of three mills that it would
raise about $1,500 and that Mr. Car
negie wduld donate $15,000 for the
purpose of building a public library in
the township. He further explained
to the taxpayers that there was but
two other towns In the state the size
of O’Neill that did not have public
libraries. He was ably seconded in his
appeal for the voting of the levy by
Judge Harrington and II. M Uttley.
while tile voting of the levy was
opposed by Patrlok Hughes and
M. Slattery. After considerable
purlimentary discussion the question
of making the levy was put to a vote
and the proposition carried by a vote
of »1 to 25.
A special levy of three mills was
then made for the purpose of grading
the road south of town from the rail
road south to the township line. A
general road levy of three mills was
then levied, the amount so received to
be equally divided among the three
road districts. A two mill levy was
made for general purposes and a one
mill levy for bridge purposes.
Considerable discussion was partici
pated in regarding road building and
a Mr. Booth, who lives north of
Stuart and wbo has had thirty years
experience building roads in the state,
was present and was called upon to
discuss the question of road building
