sponded to toasts irc Senator Hiwlo
of Connecticut Corporal Tanner Itcv
lr D J Staffoid ltcv Dr Shahan Jo
seph H Slurphv and Ilev F V Hooker
Dominick 1 Murphv ex Commissioner of
Pensions was toast master
The exercises were stamped with the
true spirit of lovalty to the ould sod
and cverv reference to Krin was greeted
ilth prolonged applause The banquet
was opened with the toast The Immor
tal Memorj of St Patrick which was
drunk standing and in silence The ban
quet hill was tastefullv decorated with
Mowers pi ints nnd palms with here and
there a bunch of shamrocks
At 730 oclock the reception began the
Committee on Arrangements introducing
tach member and guest While that was
in progress a mulcale was held in the
parlors the orchestra rendering nppro
priite jron airs
The banquet began at S Ml The table
was laid In the form of a huge horsc
Ehoe with D 1 Murphy In the centre
The walls of the hall were hung with
American and Irish Hags gracefully
draped and festooned In the centre of
the horseFhoe stood a handsome por
trait of Hobert lmmct draped In sham
rocks and Irish Hags The portrait was
presented by John It JlcLean to the sa
tiety The tables were arraed in white
and green with the latter predominating
1 ong lines of smilax intertwined with the
hhamrock Even the butter sered was
t rcen and served in the shape of a coll
ed snake
After several songs had been rendered
Toastmaster Slurphv arose and stated the
object of the gathering He said the cel
ebration of the death of St Patrick was
the greatest annliersarv in all the holi
daSj and that It had been celebrated for
over 1000 j ears
He then introduced Ite Thomas J
Shahan D D of the Catholic rniversitv
who spoke on Ireland the Iand of Our
1athers
Dr Shahan said that Ireland was well
Into the eighth centurv of its political
lilstorv He said that all history had
been changed by Ireland s protests
against the efforts of England
That protest continued Dr Shahan
gac the democrao of England cheap
bread it sent new men to Australli and
caused Washington to cross the Dela
ware It has cause el this latest phase of
freedom the lioer war The little hand
ful fighting for life has tonight our svm
pathy Applause
Xo wh is this nationalism among
the Irish It Is the con lotion that Ire
land Is a nation and rather than have
her become a slice of England we would
have her disappear The word Ireland
ran arouse applause an where It is a
talisman The lovely green land na
tures only emerald Its Aery antiqultj
has about It a sacred something which
makes us reverence It Its golden vales
are not unworthy of Paradise It was
made for a happy Innocent race and it
should be so today
Ireland has had her share of the glories
of history In past decades her hosts
made history Home never dared Invade
her Since the world became Christian
Ireland has held her place She has done
her share to preserve the vernacular of
the past But I speak not of her past
I want to refer to the Ireland of today
There Is no people so kindly so simply
human as the Irish Ireland stands
among the svmbols of doggeel resistance
to harm and she always holds a welcome
for her exiled sons
The Idea of a nationality is part of
the blood of the Irish people We see
that the population of Erin is dwindling
This Is because Irishmen are fighting
Englands battles while Englishmen stick
to their money bags There are 2000J0K
Irishmen throughout the world There
are few at home Yet all love to bellve
that they retain their nationalism Tor
the right of nationhood the struggles of
a century have been fruitless We Iipvc
tried ever thing and today we stand just
where we stood when Robert Emmet
the scaffold But we will chTish
forever the hop of national Independence
and we will have It In the end
We see the brutal scene in Soutn Afri
ca and can hope for no Immediate suc

LOYAL SONS OF ERIN
The MMiinr of Irelniu Pntrim
Siilnt littliiKl Vlel ruled
When Tom Moore wrote the lines
Co where slory waits tlire
but uhile time elates tlire
Mi then remember me
he expressed the sentiment of Ireland
to which her loil sons responded last
night at the dinner given at Grand Army
Hall under the auspices of the Shamrock
Club In honor of Erins pation saint
In poetry song and story the ancient
traditions and cherished recollections of
the ould sod were told by those who
know them best and left no doubt that
the remembrance of the land that pave
them birth is as green In the memory of
Irishmen as are the verdant shores of that
much loved Isle And naturally so for
the surroundings were such as to recall
to mind ever bog and every by way from
Dublin to Kildare and to Kilkenny
Draped side by side with the Stars and
Stripes was the ever green flag of Erin
beside each plate was a sprig of sham
rock plucked from Its native soil and with
green flowers and green banners green
viands nnd liquors of the same hue there
was that atmosphere and environment
which carried the exiles in spirit at least
back across the waters lo the sacred spot
whereon they llrst saw day
While pledging anew their devotion tn
the country of their adoption these sterl
ing pons of Ireland bespoke again the
love which they still have for old Erin
Orator Mowed as freely as did the spirits
from the cup which cheers and not one
opportunity was lost to twist the caudal
extremity of tho British lion or to laud
the virtues of the heroes and patriots of
those who have fought for the rights of
I reland
While the honors were to St Patrick
and his well remembired deeds praise
nnd glory were alike showere d upon the
O Connells the Emmets and the scores
of others whose achievements have
brightened the sad page of Irelands his
tory
About the festal board were gathered
the representative Irish Americans of
Uashlngton P T Moran was master of
ceremonies and Introducisl Col M Em
met Urell as tho toastmaster In doing
so ho paid a glowlrg tribute to Ireland
and her sons
Ihls da he said wherever are
found the exile and the Immigrant driven
from home by Drann they are cele
brating the memorj of their patron saint
Wherever the llag of liberty is raised
vhercver men are lighting for freedom
the Irishmnn are found in tho ranks and
every battlefield In America Is watered
with their blood Irishmen have been the
bravest of the bravi The have alwas
been to the front but must it alwas be
so Must their valor never triumph for
their native land God of battles God of
hosts God of the oppressed forbid God
grant that bomo day Ireland may yet be
ftee
Colonel Urell spoke briefly In assuming
his post as toastnmster He referred to
tho fact which had been mentioned that
he had fought In two wars and said he
onl hoped that the day would come
win n having fought for the land of his
adoption he would et have an oppor
tunity to boar arms for the land of his
birth and of his fathirs
The toast Ireland ns She Is was re
sponded to by the Rev Patrick O Don
nell of Kerr Ireland He said th it
through the never ceasing efforts of
Irishmen there had been many Improve
ments In recent years In educational po
litical and religious lire In Ireland He
said educational advantages had been
augmented and under the leadership of
John Redmond the Irish party had again
become reunited Industrial conditions
however he bald formed a dark page In
the story of Irinh life There was no
reason he declared why Irish industries
should not flourish save that the Govern
ment did not take an Interest In Ire
land Under American sovereignty he
said Ireland would be lone of the richest
countries In the world One factor of
Irish life the speaker asserted had nev
er changed their aith and the Church
In the twentieth century he contin
ued it Is the- sam as St Patrick had
planted 1100 ears ago It Is the one gol
den chain which links the present with
the past which has survived lived and
grown during all tho turmoil the strife
and changes of centuries nnd yet no
has suffered more for their rellg
ous belief than have the people of Ire
land
Tho remainder of tho programme In
cluded good old Irish songs by Arthur T

I Cure IMIcH In Kverj lurm
Tor many ears phvslclans have expe
rimented In vain seeking a remedy which
would effectually cure piles nnd other
rectal troubles without resorting to a
surgical operation Mnny remedies were
found to give temporary relief but none
could be depended upon to make a last
ing sitisfactory cure
Within a recent period however a new
remedy the Pramd Pile Cure has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cases
and with highl satisfactory results
The first effect of the Pramid Pile
Cure Is to lnstantl remove the pain and
Irritation generally present and from that
time on the eure rapidly progresses nnd
before the patient is hardly aware of it
he is entirely cured The remedy seems
to act directly on the nerves and blood
vessels of the parts affected as It comes
into direct contact with them and sets up
a healthy action which In a perfectly
natural wav brings the parts to their
normal condition
The remedy does Its work without any
pain or Inconvenience to the sufferer and
is Justly considered one of the most meri
torious discoveries of modern medicine
Piles is one of the most annoing and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanlt is afflictl If neglected
it frequently devidopes into Fistula or
some equallv fatal and Incurable trouble
whereas bv the timely use of this simple
but effective remed no one need suffer
a single da from an form of piles un
less thev want to
The Pjrnmld Pile Cure is perfectly
harmless containing no mineral poisons
and Is also very reasonable in price cost
ing but 50 cents a package It is sold in
drugstores everywhere The manufactur
ers of the remedy are the Pyramid Drug
Co of Marshall Mich who have placed
this e xcellent preparation before the pub
lic onl after giving it thorough and re
peated tests in the hands of reputable
phsicians The results in hundreds of
enscs have convinced us that it will not
disappoint ou

HE SAID IT
Ami Uverj Word a Worth n Gold
lle ee
When an old experienced druggist ad
vises a man to throw medicine to the
dogs and use good common sense and
the right kind of food the advice Is worth
heeding
An old friend of mine whom I knew
to be net only a lirst class druggist but
an honest man as well advised me In
order to cure my dspepsia which I hid
suffered with for twelve long ears and
spent hundreds of dollars In order to get
well to quit meat of all kinds and make
my meals on Grape Nuts Food and cream
with cooked fruit and Postum Cereal
Food Coffee
I took his advice and In a few das a
great change had taken plactI was no
longer troubled with pains in the side
smothering spells palpitation and pilns
about the heart and when night came 1
looked forward to n good nights rest 1
was also free from headaches and sour
stomach that had been with me for ears
before- In fact I was a new man and
Improved so rapidly in health that 1 went
up to lif pounds
I am enjo lng as good health as 1
evr did In m life and no healthier man
can be found I firmly believe
During the past winter 1 was out of
doors ever day and we hail some ver
severe weather Those who worked with
mo and used coffee and tea and other
kinds of liquid beverages were constant
complaining of the cold 1 did not suffe r
In the leabt nor did I contract a bad cold
during the entire winter
1 know a lady In Pittsburg who suf
fered from dyspejisla as much as I did
She was a Jerrible sufferer She had a
deathly color but she went on Grape
Nuls lood and Postum Cereal Food Cof
tee nnd gained twenty three pounds In
less than three months She lost the
greenish color of her complexion and now
her cheeks are as rosy as a school girls
and her eyes bright as a dollar

Uomcn emploes of the Government

versy said to involve the iositIons of fe
males not members of the Womens Bin
dery Union No 2 a branch of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Bookbinders
Two factions appear to have arisen In
the office and now It Is said war Is on
in earnest between tho female workers
Ihc troublo seems to have arisen be
cause certain women emploed In the
binder lo not care to Join the union
1 here are now about Turt members of that
body it Is said and those outside claim
that coercion is frequently used to force
them to Join the organization A hether
this is actually the case Is uncertain but
It Is certain tint a feeling of unrest per
vades nil quarters of the big Government
print shop One woman at least goes
so far as to say that she was threatened
with the loss of her position unless she
agreed to the proposals of the majority
and became a member of the union at a
considerable cost to ler Others ay they
feel unpleasantly the pressure of the or
ganization In one way or another but
fear to speak lest they Incur organized
opposition
One of the woman emploes talked with
a Times reporter last night She said
that she had been subjected to unusual
pressure to Join the organization and
her position she claims has been put in
jeopardy because of her dttlination to do
so She has been in the binder for aboat
live earsf and has s en various changes
including the passing of Public Printer
Benedict and the Induction into office ot
Frank W Palmer the present chief
According to this woman the Womens
Bindery Union has been In existence
about six ears At first but a few women
Joined and for a time the organization
appeared to be such In name only As
time went on however the union became
larger causing some factional feeling to
arise between members and those rot
members of the bod v When Mr Palmer
look charge of the Printing Office the re
porter s Informant believed the union was
not known to him or if at all onl in a
vague way She said tie demands of the
union Increased until within a few weks
past not alone herself but others have
been warned to join the union or take the
consequences Just what these conse
quences will be Is a bit doubtful but a
number of positions may be affected
The president of the Womens Bindery
Union is Miss Kate V Smoot living at
3Ja E Street northeast She was attend
ing a meeting of the union at the po
graphlcal Temple last night when seen by
a reporter for The Times
We have just sworn In fifty new mem
bers she said The organization has
been in existence about six jears she
continued and is doing very well Miss
Smoot appeared disinclined to talk about
an charges brought by those not In the
organization but finally said The Wo
mens Bindery Union Is conducted solely
for the benefit of female cmploes of the
Government Printing Oiilofe There are
of course skeptical women who do not
want to join and these il not have to
do so It Is true we have attempted to
persuade such womento join us to point
out to them the advantages to be had
from the organization but beyond this
moral suasion neither I nor any other
connected with the union has gone
Miss Smoot said emphatically that there
was no such thing as a throat being madc
by rn member of the uplon She ex
plait ed the benefits of joining the organi
zation In case of death Miss Smoot
say a payment of ITS Is made to rela
tive by the association where sickness
causes absence from work 13 weekly Is
forthcoming from the funds of the so
cietv These amounts are divided and as
sessed and paid separately according to
the exigencies of the individual case
Mr Palmer Public Prtnter was seen
by a reporter last night at his home 1333
T Street northwest He said he knew of
the organization among women of the
binder but nothing more regarding it
He was not acquainted with its work
ings he said You can say for me
said Mr Palmer that nobody has au
thority from me to threaten dismissals
from the Government Printing Office
Such dismissals could not be made with
out my knowledge and personal action
Should nny well directed complaint come
to my notice of unjusv action by mem
bers of the womens union I should cer
tainly take steps to bring the matter to a
fair and equitable settlement

parts of the country- Inasmuch ns there
will be no need for revenue stamps on
checks and other documents after that
date the officials ot the Internal Reenue
Bureau of the Treasury Department are
making preparations for the redemption
of unused stamps It will probably be
no less than six months before all the ac
counts In connection with the redemption
are completed
In order to give the general public In
formation lit reKard to the matter the
follow lnsr statement has been Issued by
the Internal Itevenue Bureau
AH documentary and proprietary
revenue stamps In the hands of pur
chasers on and after July 1 1901 will
be redeemed by the Government under
the provisions of the act of May 12

them Vn aeco jnt will be tik n by the
collector of tho amount nnd denomina

count will be forwarded to the bureau
here and will bo consulted v hen the
claim from the owner of the stamps ar
rives It will be necessary for all rea
sons to forward their claims to Wash
ington as the olletors will not be au
thorized to make payments for the un
used Btamps
It la not necessary to wait until after
July 1 to make claims fr the redemp
tion of stamps Under the provisions of
the act of May 1- 190 unused stamps
may be redeemed at any ime However
as long as there is need for the stamps
there has been little Inclination to mike
claims for their redemption
it is almost impossible to estimate nc
curatelv the amount for which claims for
redemption will be made At present
many banks have six or eight months
supply of unused stamps on hand The
assertion has been ventured however
that the value of the stamps on hecks
and documents from which the tax was
rcmovfd will aggregate 11500000 This
estimate is based on the assumption that
the public villi have one monthssuppIy
on hand on July 1 next
By far the greatest amount of stamps
will be redeemed as a result of the pro
vision of the War Revenue Reduction act
which provides for a decrease In the tax
on articles of various kinds In this case
the redemption will take the nature
largely of an exchange Stamps of one
denomination will be exchanged for an
equal number of those of another and
the difference paid in cash The esti
mate of the amount which will be pre
sent for redemption basetl also on the
assumption that dealers will have a
months supply on hand follows
