CANBERRA--The award of the Victoria Cross to Private Richard Kelliher for bravery in New Guinea in September was announced by the Governor General (Lord Gowrie) yesterday. Kelliher, who enlisted in Queensland, was born In County Kerry, Ireland. The citation revealed that when Kelliher's platoon was attacking an enemy position at Nadzab it came under heavy fire from a concealed machinegun post. On his own initiative Kelliher dashed forward and hurled two grenades which killed some of the gun crew. Then he returned to his own section. There he seized a Bren gun and again went forward alone and silenced the post. He next went forward alone under heavy rifle fire from another enemy position and rescued his wounded section leader.

REV. B. J. MAHONY.
The Rev. Father Mahony, who has been attached to St. Francis Xavior Church as a curate, passed away on Tuesday night, from an attack of influenza. He was a strong, robust young man, a general favourite with the members of his Church, owing to his happy, genial disposition and It was thought that a long life of usefulness was before him. It was willed otherwise, however, and although far from his kindred he received all the care and skilful treatment possible, but death claimed him after, a brief ill ness. His remain were laid to rest on Wednesday afternoon in the ground attached to the Church, in the presence of a very large gathering of parishioners and citizens of the town. The service was a very impressive one and was conducted by the Rev. D. O'Sulli van (Albion Park), assisted by Revs. A. P. Malone (Kiama), P. J. Power, J. Galvin ?, P. Howe, E. McDonald, E Bonnet, Thomas O'Farrell (Leichhardt), D. Hannan, P. Cusack, J. Kissane, Lynch, Feehan, O'Brien, P. Galvin and Dr. Toomey (Moss Vale). A short service was held in the church, and the body was taken from the Presbytery into Harbour-street, and along the Church ground to the grave, the members of the H.A.C.B.S. and Children of Mary standing on each side of the route taken, and forming in behind the coffin, which was carried by members of the Hibernian Society. As the closing part of the sad rite was being performed, the Children of Mary sang a number of hymns, and as the strains of 'Nearer My- God to Thee,' swelled forth upon the air, many tears Were shed for one that had been laid to rest far from the ones and the land that he loved so well, and that he looked forward eagerly to seeing in the near future. The late Father Mahony was a native of Listowel, County Kerry, Ire land, and was 30 years. of age. He received his classical education at St. Michael College, Listowel, and after, wards at St. Kieran's, Kilkenny . where he studied Canon Law, Philosophy, and Theology. About four years ago he came to New South Wales. His first appointment was to St. Vincent, Redfern , where he remained for four months, he afterwards spent two years at St. Joseph, Rozelle, and then came to Wollongong, where he has been for a year and nine months.

A big Chinaman from Kerry.
At a reception given Bishop Dougherty, of Buffalo, formerly of the Philippine Islands, the Bishop told of a visit to the mission house in Hong Kong.. China, where he. met a big Chinaman, garbed in true Mongolian style, and with yard-long queue, a moustache and goatee. Asking the Chinaman if h understood French, he got this
surprising answer: 'What's the matter with you, Bishop Sure,. I'm Father Kennelly from Kerry. The Rev. Father T. M. Kennelly, S.J., is a brother of a popular Australian priest the Very Rev. Father P. Kennelly. P.P., Colac. Ballarat. Although a native' of Ireland, China is his home, and he has become as Chinese as the Chinese themselves. Born in Listowel, he went to China 32 years ago. A writer of an American paper says: 'His name is on every tongue from Kong Kong to Chif ?.
Being an eminent linguist, speaking French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and several Chinese dialects, he is still proud of. An teanga ' gaedilge of his beloved Eire, which he regards as an invaluable auxiliary in the acquisition of languages and dialects.' Another incident: A representative of the Government had seen the charitable work of the nuns, and was so pleased, that he offered to give them whatever was in his power to grant. The nuns deliberated for some time, and timidly asked for an alarm clock.

Death of the Irish Franciscan Provincial,
THE VERY. REV. FATHER HANRAHAN, O.F.M.
The news came by cable on Saturday last that the Very Rev. Father'' J. P. Hanrahan, O.F.M., Provincial of ' the Irish Province of the Order, died at Multyfarnham, County Westmeath, on the preceding, day, at the comparatively early ago of 44. For the past year Father Hanrahan had been in very in different health, in spite of treatment by eminent specialists and changes of climate. He was born in Listowel, County Kerry, and passed his studies in Killarney and later in St. Isadora’s College, Rome, where he was remarkable for his intellectual gifts, which he sedulously cultivated. Indeed, it may be said that too much application to study hastened his early demise. His attainments in the field of history— especially Irish history — have been of incalculable service in gathering materials for the canonisation of the Irish martyrs who suffered in the various periods of persecution during the English oppression. While director of studies in Multyfarnham College
Father Hanrahan brought the institute to a high degree of proficiency. His gentle and sympathetic disposition endeared him to a wide circle of friends within and without his Order; and his solid and matured counsel was sought in many weighty affairs, both ecclesiastical and civil. He took a deep interest in promoting the welfare of his Order in Australia, and was about to visit Sydney when indications of failing health made themselves known. Father Hanrahan was justly proud of his relationship to a namesake of his whose name is on the glorious catalogue of those who suffered for the
Faith and who are listed for canonisation. Father Hanrahan also lent his indomitable energy to the promotion of the Irish language study among young Irish Franciscans in Ireland and in Rome, and the fruits of his interest in this branch of national culture will be gathered in years to come, in the elucidation and editing of the treasures
of Irish lore, which are in the historic convent at Merchant's Quay, Dublin, in which work members of the Order are at present engaged. A Solemn Dirge and Requiem Mass were celebrated in Mary Immaculate Church, Waverley, this morning for his repose.

A KERRY MAN AT THE NORTH
Among the seven Arctic explorers rescued by the Thetis and Bear was Maurice Connell, of Company B, 3rd Cavalry, a native of the County Kerry. Connell was so emaciated and exhausted, when rescued that for some days afterwards he was not able to realize the fact that he had been snatched out of the very jaws of death. He did not hear the awakening scream of the steam whistle.
When his comrade shook him up from his prostrate position in the camp and told him of succour at |hand, he wildly exclaimed; ' For God's sake let me die in peace.' A teaspoonful of brandy applied to his lips called back the fleeing life spark, for Connell could not have survived more than a few hours. he was. by far the weakest of the seven survivors, and the strongest must have surrendered within 48 hours. The story told by Connell from previous memory of their starving experiences is simply heartrending ; how they burned the hair off their sealskin boots and coats, cut them into strips, boiled them into a stew and ate voraciously of them until the stomach rebelled and nausea and weakness ensued in several cases. nature gave no call for 12, 15, and even 18 days, and then bloody haemorrhage and consequent weakness ensued, prostrating the
victims for several days. The difficulty of keeping heat in the body was very great. The rule of the camp was to permit no one to sleep more than two hours. He was awakened roughly and called upon to shake himself, beat his hands and pound his feet and restore circulation. This was found absolutely necessary to prevent torpor and possible death, the usual accompaniment of intense cold. Through all these hardships and sufferings Connell maintained the traditional character of his race for mirth and drollery, and many a quaint Irish story and rich Irish jest made ice-packs of the Arctic seas echo with the laughter of his comrades. We congratulate Connell on his safe return

Death of Mr. Daniel Tierney. On the 17th August 1927.,
Mr. Daniel Tierney, a resident of the Orange district for more than half a century, passed away at North Sydney. Born at Lenamore, Ballylongford, North Kerry, in 1849, he was for several years engaged in farming pursuits in his native land before coming to Australia. Owing to the blight of landlordism he could
not see much prospect in the future by remaining there, so he decided to come to . Australia, and arrived here in 1873; Like many young Irishmen at this and an earlier period, he was the victim of a Government which cared little for the people's welfare. The Home Rule movement, which afterwards accomplished so much under the leadership of Parnell, was just then attracting notice, and the late Mr. Tierney used to relate the famous Kerry election of February, 1872, when the Protestant Home Rule candidate, Mr. Hassett, defeated the Catholic Tory, Dease, in a district almost exclusively Catholic. This election was the last conducted . in Ireland .under the old system of 'open voting.' Arriving in Orange in 1874 he remained in and about the district until May last, when he came to Sydney for health reasons. During that long period he established ,a reputation for sincerity and uprightness, and was highly respected by the whole community. Always a devout Catholic, his was a familiar personality on Sunday to two generations going to Mass. As a 'true Irishman lie took an active interest in Irish affairs, and always nailed his colours to the mast. The delegations to Australia in the 'eighties and again after the Irish Party united under tho leadership of John Redmond, found an ardent supporter in the deceased. Though in no way aggressive, he would not allow aspersions to be cast on Ireland, and he died as he lived, true to faith and Fatherland. The interment took place on the 18th Aug. 1927, at Orange. Rev Father O'Donnell recited the last . prayers. The chief mourners were Rev. Brother Joseph (Patrician Brothers), Sydney, Mr Patrick Tierney, Sydney (sons), Mrs. J. Fitzgerald (sister), and Mr. J. Fitzgerald (North Sydney), brother-in-law. — R.I.P

Among the late converts to the faith is Mrs. 'Eustace, of Newstown, Tulla, a daughter of Gen. Morris Stack. As a Protestant she was zealous in the practice of her religion and was a generous friend to the poor and sick. Her sister, Mrs. Berthnon, who resides in England, has also become a Catholic.
A car. two traps a horse, harness and four head of cattle the property of the Very Rev. Canon Cahill. the parish priest of Tipperary and Vicar General of the archdiocese of Cashel, were seized recently by the police in satisfaction of the sum of d8l49 still due by him as one of the sureties of Mr. Wm. O'Brien, M.P. The property has since been released, Canon Cahill having paid the amount demanded.
Father M. B. Kennedy, the noble-hearted curate who so ably espoused the cause of the evicted tenants of Curras and Meelin, was recently presented by them with £50. But with, characteristic generosity he has turned the money over to Wm. O'Brien, to be used, as he paid, for the maintenance of the wounded soldiers of Tipperary and Youghal.

Mr. James Stack. Mr. James Stack, one of the best-known Irishmen in Queensland, being just as big a favourite in Mount Morgan, Rockhampton, and the Downs as he is in Brisbane, has just returned from a trip to the old country, having journeyed through England, Scotland, Ireland and America. He visited Dublin, Belfast, and several of the large cities in Ireland, but spent most of his time in his own native Kerry, in the vicinity of Tralee. He was witness to some of the incidents which have made Green wood's Black and Tans notorious. He had many opportunities of judging the great spirit of the people, who, though they are passing through a Calvary greater ' than even '98, are undaunted and unconquerable. Mr. Stack saw Cork, Limerick, and parts of Clare after the reprisals of the Black and Tans, and he says that no words could convoy the feelings of horror with which he gazed upon such wanton destruction of property, and things which Irish people hold so sacred. His trip through America, with its prohibition joke, and its tragic ? drugs consequences, has given him some experiences which he relishes to tell. Although Mr. Stack is glad to be back again in Queensland, his homecoming was saddened by the death of his married daughter, Mrs. Boyle, who died after a short illness in Warwick, leaving her husband and one child to deplore their great loss. — R.I.P.

OBITUARY. ----- Mr. Thomas Denis Ryan, who had been a resident of Kilmore for 27 years, and a business man of the highest probity and honour, died at half past twelve at his residence, Powlett-street, on Thursday morning last. Mr. Ryan, who was 62 years of age, was born in Glasgow in 1850; he was the only son of Mr. Thomas Ryan (a Customs official) his mother's maiden name being Mary McElligott, both being natives of Ballylongford, Kerry, Ireland. His father having died when the subject of this notice was only three months old, his mother mre- married a Mr. Stack having issue three in family---the Rev. Gerald Stack, parish priest of Cambalang near Glasgow---formerly a professor in St. Patrick's College in the city named Mrs. Brady, now resident of Falmouth, and the late Sister Sebastian.,who up to the time of her death some two years ago was Rev. mother in the Presentation Convent at Glagow, all of whom were much attached to their step-brother ; indeed Father Stack came all the way to Australia some two years ago to visit Mr. Ryan, spending some time with him, a matter of great, solace and pleasure to Mr. Ryan, who was then, and for some years previously, in delicate health. Deceased gentleman came to Victoria when quite a young man, and after spending a brief period with the late Mr Martin M'Kenna, of Kyneton Brewery, he took up duty with the old established and popular metropolitan firm of Messrs. Hogan and Mooney, wine and spirit merchants, to whom he proved a most capable, efficient and trustworthy employee. After some years with the firm named he married Miss Mulcahy, owner of the Oriterion Hotel and store, which handsome business he actively carried on for some time, and practically supervised almost up to the day of his death, the delicate state of his health not seeming to dim his unusually bright intellectual capacity. During his long years as an invalid he was zealously and carefully looked after by his good wife, whose self-sacrificing devotion should be mentioned as deserving of all praise. The writer, who had special opportunities of knowing Mr. Ryan, has no hesitation in attributing to him many admirable qualities, being just, straightforward and highly conscientious in his dealings and one whose accuracy was unquestionable. His death was most peaceful and edifying, being attended most assiduously by the local Catholic clergy- men---being conscious to the last moment. The remains, enclosed in an oak casket, were interred in the Kilmore Catholic Cemetery on Friday afternoon, the Rev. L. Martin, P.P., attending to the obsequies at the grave. Mr James Beegan had charge of the mortuary arrangements, which were efficiently attended to.
