Services of - Twenty-Five Years Warmly Appreciated-- Mr, Behan Said He Was Honored by Their Devotion and Cornfifence. Cog A pleasing event occurred at the re- meeting of the Young Irish- men's Catholic Benevolent Association held in their hall on Monday evening. Near the close of the meeting, on motion of vice-president, the regular onder of business was suspended, the secretary George Hanson, read the following address to the presi dent, J. J. Behan : 2 "After twenty-five years of active service in our midst, and chiefly as an excoutive officer, we desire to show in a small manner our appreciation of your. services and good fellowship. You have, during your term of office, scen many members join our ranks and yw the hospitality ef this good oid hall. You have also seen many leave us to better their posi: many under other suns, but time has permitted us to remain as Irishmen, at least in spirit, for there is not a member of the association who has not a warm spot in his' heart for the old Y.L.UBA., and if posiiile a warmer feeling for its president. "Since you assumed the position of otir chief officer, you have always | given vour advice -cheerfolly and wisely, working for the best interests of the members all the time, and al- though this symbol of appreciation of vour services is small, it expresses in a measure the very best wishes of your fellow members. 5 " "In presenting this cane and pipe, a slight token of our regard and re spect, we' heartily wish you and Mrs. Behan years of health and prosper- ity." Peter Clarke, on behalf of the asso- ciation, then presented -- President Behan with a beautiful ebony cane, with a massive engraved gold head, a gold-mounted pipe, in case, a fine cigar holder and a box of cigars. The presentation came as a complete surprise, so quict had the matter been kept by the members. President Behan, on rising to reply, expressed his sincere and heartfelt appreciation of the kindness of his fellow members for the magnificent prefénts, antd-also for the kind and complimentary. senti- ments conveved in the address. He assured his brother members that he did not need these tangible proofs from the members to assure him that he was honored by their devotion and confidence, for during the past twenty- five years as an officer he had abun- dant proofs of it. and on many ocea- sions, but none the less did he appre ciate these costly gifts as one crown- ing testimony of their good-will. He expressed his gratitude to his brother members and assured them that he would ever remember their kindness. Junetown Personals.
