The A. O. II. yesterday celebrated In i
magnificent manner , the festival of St ,
Patrick , the patron saint of Ireland , The
programme was well arranged nnd every
thing , despite the inclemency of the weather
1 nvns carried out according to programme , ro
fleeting great credit upon Messrs. Connollj
nnd Ktlgallon , the committee In charge. The
celebration was the first of the kind Omahu
lias had In fifteen yearn , nnd It is not nt nl
unlikely that It will lead hereafter to nt
annual public observance of the day.
At 9 o'clock In the morning the local mom
licrsoftho Ancient Order of Hibernians
Division No. 1 , began lo assemble In theli
hall , Thirteenth and Jaoltson stroels. There
\vas nn allracilvo array of shamrocks ane
croon ribbons upon almost every coat. At

assemblage lo order , nnd Iho A. O. II. band
of fifteen pieces Insplrlngly played the np
jiroprialo piece , "St. Patrick's Day , " whlcl :
was greeted with tumultuous applause.
Upon calling the roll nearly ull ot the ItX
members responded to their names , and aftci
donning the rcgnlla Grand Marshal Mlchac
Bollard began to organize his ranks. The
men were graded in mzo and wcro formed it
the order of march two abreast.
At 10 o'clock the South Omaha order , divi
sion No. ! l , arrived , marshaled bj
Chief of Police Mohonoy , nnd sixty
flvo uniformed members in lino. This
delegation joined the local order nt thoh
headquarters , nnd was soon followed by thai

Division No. 1. 147 mon , under command ol

In tills form they marchoj in ono division
from Jackson street north on Thirteenth to
Howard , cast on Howard to Ninth , and
north on Ninth to the cathedral.
Within a radius of three blocks of the
cathedral , the strcels and sidewalks wore
literally Jammed with citizens who wcro bent
on viewing tlio emerald and gold regalias of
Erin's loyal sons. '
Arriving in front of the cathedral the
band discoursed "Wearing of the Green. "
while the procession was filing into the
church. Unfortunately , the Iowa delega
tion , composed of orders from Vail. Sioux
City , Dunlap and Council Bluffs , was be
lated , but was on hand Just as the rear of
the procession had disappeared in the en
trance.
Tha Iowa delegation was headed by Del
ly's band and inarched In rank us follows :
Chief Marshal Cuslck ; aides , M. J. Mor
tis , J. J. Jordan , W. H. Burns , M. Murphy
> , ; * > nnd B. McCarthy.

, Burns ; Dunlap , sixteen of division 4 , under
command of Marshal Murphy ; Vail , twelve
of division 2 , commanded by B. McCarthy :
Council Bluffs , sixty-ftvo of division No. 1 ,
under command of M. J. Morris.
This delegation was ushered into the ca
thedral by oflicors of the local order and was
i Just on tlmo for the opening services at
10:30 : a. m.
> The church was unnblo to accommodate nil
. the Hibernians with regalia , and as a consequence
quence a number bf the visiting delegates
were compelled to remain without during
the ceremonies.
Solemn high mass , was chanted by Rov. P.
- F. McCarthy , Father Carroll acting as
deacon and Father Kelley as sub-deacon.
The sermon was delivered by Father Mc
Carthy , who , without text entered upon nn
earnest and eloquent panegyric of the patron
Bainl. Ho spoke as follows :
"Tho object of Ihls morning's extraordi
nary display Is to thank Almighty God for
. the light of divine faith nnd to honor the
i great saint whom God made use of to bring
< J to our ancestors the gospel of Jesus Christ.
"It is now more than 1,400 years since St.
Patrick established Iho Christian religion in
Ireland. Ho was ono of the moat extraordi
nary men that ever lived. It Is not known
where ho was born. It makes no difference
to us , however , where ho first saw the light
of day. It is sufllcient for us to know that
ho labored and prayed for more than sixty
years In behalf of the Irish people : that ho
lifted them out of the uantness of paganism
* Into the glorious sunlight of clirlstlanltythat ;
ho has been the moans proximate and remote
of bringing about the eternal salvation aud
T happiness of millions of Irish men and
women from his own day down to the
present. No greater love can any man give
than to lay down his lifo for his neighbor.
Bt. Patrick was willing te suffer martyrdom.
JHo actually spent sixty years In praying ,
fasting , preaching , suffering , not that ho
& might save us from some temporal
evil , not that ho right 'procure
for us worldly riches and 4 oners , but that
ho might give UBSomcthln i.moro valuable
than nil the wealth , than all the honors ,
than oven life itself ; namely , the faith of
JesuslOhrlst , which is the subsuincoof things
to bo hoped for , which is the germ , the seed ,
the very first spark of everlasting glory.
Never did man , before or smeyj , do as much
tor our people. Never , before or
since , was a man so ardently
loved by the Irish pcoplo us the glorious , Im
mortal St. Patrick.
"Wo delight , this morning , In going back
Jn Imagination through the centuries that lie
between us and the glorious Kaster day when
our palron saint first appeared on the hill ot
| Tarn. Wo love to think of him as ho np-
jioarcd In Iho presence of the king , the
nobles , and the cards ot Erin. Crosier In
\ band unit with mitra shining brighter
than the diamonds of the cast
on his head , his in mi tie envelop
ing his stately form , ho stood forth in that
dlstiiigulihod assembly to toll the story ot
God's jjroat lovejor iniin ; how , in the begin
ning , God had created man a perfect being
of his kind and placed Him In the midst of in-
„ . describublo earthly felicity ; h'ow , after man
had forfeited IiU happiness mm his glorious
destiny hereafter , ( Jed bad mercy and sent
lit * only begotten Son to dlo
tot the human- race to redeem
it from Rin and to restore all
that had boon lost. For the tlrst time , thcao
bards uud wise men heard of the mystery of
tbo trinity , the incarnation , death und resur
rection of the Son of God , und the operation
/n the church ot the Holy Ghost.
"So well did Patrick preach , nndEontrlctly
and heroically did ho Ilvo In accordance with
thn principles of inoraiitjvwlilch he taught ,
that hlx success was Immediate , nnd soon
became universal throughout the nation of
the Irinli. HlH severe and holy volco wont
straight , to the hearts of the Irish people ,
jvho luivu always bucn quick and gcnciouy In
the. love which they havn axtcudod to those
who have taken the trouble to treat them
Jiindly nnd decently. "
Father McCarthy then concisely and olo-
fluently reviewed more minutely some of the
life-labors of St. Patrick , ilia wonderful suc
cess which attended them and Ineradicable
XnunnoV in which ho bud planted thn seed of
Christianity in the Irish heart. In proof of
' thin ho rofurred to the religious persecution
to whloh the Irish people have been sub
jected und the manner In which they have
withstood all attempts to dlsposcss them of
their cherished faith. Some of the horrors
ct thc u persecutions ho palutod in lurid
colors , and , in bringing to a close- his adinlr-
nblo address , said )

with singing , recitations and other social ou
loyuionts. The A. O. H. bands occasionally
contributed to the programme by discoursing
national airs which were both fauiilllar anu
appreciated.
Tbo Evealn-i Ceremony.
Green was the favorite color atBoyds' las )
night , where it tinted the programme , deco
rated the gentlemen and adorned the ladies.
Not even the damp , gloomy weather seemed
to have any effect on it , but like the cause of
Ireland , gleamed brightest under the most
an favorable circumstances. It was there In
ill shades , from the darker colors of the
iash to the bright llttlo shamrock , and it
kept crowding into the auditorium until bj
5:30 : o'clock , hundreds of emblems could
bo distinguished throughout the hall.
( Yt that hour the baud of tha A. O. H. filed
jpon the stage , uud in their neat uniform !
formed un appropriate background while
they played the opening overture. As the
itralns of the music died away and thq play-
: rs passed behind the scenes , Chairman
O'Kcofo ' made the opening address , and
iftor drinking a toast to the day in the cold
nrator allowed by Mayor Broatch , ho bade
the audience an Irishman's welcome. Ind
lentally ho mentioned that the A. O. H.
lumbered 400,000. He was followed by the
St. Phllomcna choir in an excellent rendition
3f "My Country , 'Tis ot Thee , " with Mr.
Tules Lombard as soloist. Next came an ad-
Iress from the Uev. P. F. McCarthy ,
and his theme was "St. Patrick. "
Ho concluded an eloquent address by say
ing : "Who knows but by next St. Patrick's
lay we shall sco all our hopes for the wol-
Tavo of the country wo love so well fully and
lomplotoly re'alizodl"
Once more the A. O. H. band corno on. and
rendered a number of selections from Irish
iiclodics. They were followed by Miss
itacia Crowley in a recitation of an original
) oem entitled "Uobert Emmott. " It was
lard to say whether the poem or the manner
n which itvas rucitcd 'wcro most entitled lo
: rcdll , but In both she showed herself to bo
i true daughter of Erin , with all the olo-
lucnco and pnety lhat is characteristic of its
shlldron. Aa no encores wcro permitted , she
vas unabla to respond to repealed calls , but
vas made the recipient of an elegant bouquet.
Uicutcuant Kinzio followed in the solo ,
'Come Back to Erin , " and woh
veil-deserved applause. In fact the
mdlcnco compelled him to break the rules
ind respond which hu did and in response
lang the "Girl of Klldaro. " Next T. J. Maloney -
lonoy spoke oloqucully on the Ireland of to-
lay , which can only bo appreciated in the
Poland of the future. Hoferring to the Irc-
and of the past ho sketched it down through
.ho dark ages to Iho day when n hundred
roars before Justinl gave the world his insti-
-utcs or King John the magtia charta Ireland
vas given a book of rights , in which was
outlined an elective form of government
Passing down to Iho present , ho spoke of the
nfamous coercion act , familiar to all read-
irs , and the prevailing conditions. "An clec-
ion to-day , " ho said , "would place Gladstone
meo more at tha helm , and ho would give a
ncasura of freedom to Ireland , that would
Hump him as the greatest statesman of the
ago.
ago.Ho brought tils remarks to a close with nn
ilonucnt peroration.
Walter Emerson who was present kindly
ionscutcd to give a cornet solo. His reputa-
.ion is world wide , and bo did it justice. The
livery notes seemed to speak as they rang
ml , and swelled through tha building whllo
.ho audlonco listened to the old familiar airs
) f 'Klllarnoy" und "Tho Last UOHO of Sumner -
nor , " as they had never heard them before.
EIo was rapturously encoredand was followed
by tlio A. OII. . band , which also did itsull
lustlcc.
The solo , "Kathleen Mavourneen , " by Mlsa
Fannlo Arnold , came next ana was sung in a
manner that brought down the housoand led
nor to respond with u lullaby. She ,
,00 , was presented with an elegant bouquet ,
lames J. Cumins recited the patriotic poem ,
'Erin's Flos" In a very acceptable manner ,
ind was loudly applauded. Jules Lombard
lang the "Harp of Tura. " So well la he
ltnown < to the lovers of music that it u
mflldent to say that ho sum : it in His befit
ityle , and" to an audlonco that thoroughly
ipprcclatcd it. and as n mark of their ap
proval presented hint with a beautiful floral
loslgn nf a liurp.
The Hon. P. E. C. Lally , of Vail , Ta. , paid
i graceful U'ibuto to the press of America
tor the aid it had extended to the causa of
[ rolandi and then spoke of tba bright days ol
Hint country , before its soil had been poi
nted by the foot of the Saxon Invader. Its
i-ory beauty und richness w.istho cause of his
Utompt to wrcbt St from Its rightful owners.
Ho gave ) n historical sketch of tliolongBtrug <
