THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSH FIELD. OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 17,1908.

A LE .
REAL SHAMROCK
FO
Emblem Plant of Ireland Flour
ishes on Coos Bay and
Appears as Tokens
St. Patrick's Day on Coos Bay to
day took on decidedly tho air of the
"auld sod," when a number of prom
inent men appeared on tho streets
with a bit of real shamrock in their
coat lapels. It developed that a num-.
Ijer of years ago, an enthusiastic
Irish resident sent back to Tipperary
for some shamrock root and planted
it here. So near is tho soil and cli
mate of Coos Bay like that the the
Emerald Isle that tho bit of sham
rock flourished here, and now dozens
of citizens havo it growing around
their homes.
Among those who had It today
were the Rev. Father Donnelly, Mr.
Golden and Simon B. Cathcart, tho
latter presenting several of the plants
ready for replanting to tho editor of
Tho Times. The real shamrock vine
is small, and the leaves aro also, and
whllo green tho center of their face is
tinted with a dark blood red.
Others who wero not lucky enough
to havo tho real shamrock, paid trib
ute to tho Irish saint by wearing im
itation shamrocks, green ties and
green ribbons.
There will bo several dances on
Coos Bay tonight, and tho halls will
ho elaborately decorated with green.
Dancing on St. Patrick's day is not
strictly forbidden Irish Catholics in
tho Lenten regulations, they being
merely asked to refrain from it. This
morning the Rev. Father Donnelly
solemnized mass at 9 o'clock, and to
night will deliver a panegyric on St.
Patrick which will bo followed by
a benediction of tho blessed sacra
ment. A special feature of tho even
ing's program at tho church will be
' tho music, Mrs. Gerald B. Morris
having been secured as organist and
tho senior choir promising to turn
out.
At tho last banquet of tho Frjendly
Sons of St. Patrick in New Yorc,
President lloosovelt, tho gue3t of tho
coning asked Joseph J. C. Clarke,
tho president of tho Friendly Sons to
rcclto "Tho Fighting Haco."
Tho poem familiarly known by tho
title: "Kelley and Burko and Shea,"
which is its refrain. It was written
Ijv Mr. Clarko at the tlmo of tho
blowing up of tho Maine. Looking
over tho list of dead and wounded ho
T'jmarkod to his wife:
"They nro all hero as usual tho
Irish Yes hero wo'vo Kelley and
Burko and Shea. "
"Within two hours ho had finished
tho verses which aro now recognized
an a lasting tributo to tho fighting
quantities of tho irishman. Tho poem
makes a point; it also expresses the
conviction and the wistful prldo of
tho old veteran.
Mr. Clarke was born In Kingston,
licland July 31, 18 1G and came to
tho United States In 18GS. Tho grent
oi part of his life has boon spent in
newspaper offices on tho Now York
Herald 1S70-18S3; mngazino editor
o New York Journal 1883-lS9rr,
editor of tho Criterion 1S0S-1900;

And fighting was not his trade
But his rusty pike's in the cabin still,
With Hessian blood on tho blade."

THE ENGLISH
LUTHERANS
Name Is a Misnomer and Is
Only Used for Want ofr
Better Term.
Engllst Lutheran SeYvices, a Mis
Misnomer. Weekly a notice appears in this
paper that English Lutheran ser
vices aro held in tho Red Men's hall.
This is a misnomer for want of a
better term. Tho Lutheran church
has no English history did not or
iginate in that country, has no ten
dencies in that direction, is not loyal
to the British crown, and In thought,
temperament and afilliatlon Is as far
removed from England as the Bunk
er Hill monument Is distant from
tho House of Parliament. What we
wish to make evident is that this Is
an American Lutheran church, not
only in language, but that the wholo
spirit and body has entirely separ
ated itself from all foreign influences
and is heart and soul with the Red,
White and Blue. Why, then, not call
it an American Lutheran church?
If we so termod ourselves, a slur
would bo cast upon the many Luther
ans who, although worshipping In
foreign tongues, have decided Ameri
can backbones. I think that tho war
of 'G2 has abundantly proven that
many Americans havo valiantly
fought or died for this country who
never had a command of the English
language. Some of their children's
children still live in Pennsylvania
and still speak a very broken En
glish. Quite recently an attempt
was made to brldgo this difficulty of
nane. A Norwegian pastor an
nounced that ho would preach in the
American language. Strictly defined,
this must have meant In tho Indian
language. Less strictly Interpreted,
It could mean any language spoken
In America, for English is no less a
foreign and Imported medium of
speech, than are the Scandinavian and
German languages. Again, we might
call ourselves an English 'speaking
and preaching Lutheran church. But
our strongest objections aro based
just against this term. There aro
strong Lutheran churches in Great
Britain which are anything except
American. My last charge In Nova
Scotia made this very plain. On
pleasant Sundays It was not unusual
to havo a thousand English Luther
ans attend services, nnd yet they al
most all hate tho Yankees as if tho
war of 1S12 wero being still enacted.
It seems, therefore, for want of a
better term, that tho phrase, "En
glish Lutheran Services" must stand,
as it means and invites all who havo
been thoroughly amalgamated Into
this nation (not in language only) be
they Americans, Finns, Swedes, Nor
wegians, Danes or Germans.
WM. F. HOLL, Pastor.
BRIQUETTED COAL IS
ON EXHIBITION HERE
Ss.niples of Fuel Made in Germany
From Inferior Lignite Aro Ho
och oil by Francis II. Clarke.
Francis H. Clarko has received sev
eral samples of briquetted coal from
Germany and has placed a few of
them pn exhibition in tho window of
the Chambor of Commerce. Tho
samples aro of particular Interest
here as tho German briquetted coal
is made from a very low giado of lig
nite coal, a coal much Inferior to tho
llgnlto found here and call attention
to tho possibility of developing and
enhancing the immense deposits here.
Briquetting Is a process whereby
most of the water Is eliminated from
the coal, leaving the fuel portions
much more compnet. In Germany,
tho small briquettes aro peddled from
hoitbo to house, much tho same as
bread and other articles are sold in
America.
