Rev. Father Healy delivered the ad
dress at Neola on St. Patrick's day. It
was an eloquent discourse , full of inspir
iting thought to every Irish heart. His
hearers were delighted , and many words
of praise were heard from those who
wore present. Ho chose as his text , "I
have elected yon , and I have chosen you
that you go forth and bear fruit , and that
your fruit shall remain. " In the course
of hlH address ho said : "At no time and
on no day should the religious anil pa
triotic feelings of our follow countrymen
be so enthusiastic as at the present time
anil on this St. Patrick's day. It is true
that in days gone by Ireland's children ,
always witn joy , sang the praises of her
biunts and heroes , but that joy was not
unalloyed with sorrow. Her joys found
graves beneath her tears. Hut to-day a
voice calls over the ocean. It thrills the
Irish heart with a lieaycn-scnt message.
ICrin has risen , is grasping at victory , and
she shall lie crowned. Since the time St
Patrick trod and blessed the soil of Ire
land her faith has been her nationality.
It is her glory and will bo her crown "
/The speaker then proceeded to give a
vivid picturing of the life of the saint.
In his closing he spoke eloquently of the
permanence of the faith , and the faith
shown by the Irish in America. He also
spoke of the crisis in Ireland and lie-
land's hone for legislative independence
founded on her faith and on the prin
ciples taught by St. Patrick.

A Ilj nt the Imwycrs ,
It is conceded that attorneys are apt
to give juries a good deal of chart' , and do
not conllno themselves strictly to the
facts in arguing in favor of their clients ,
but now comes the olllclal utterance of
the fact by the supreme court. In a mo
tion for a rehearing the claim was made
that one of the attorneys had indulged in
misrepresentations to tlie jury which
prejudiced the ease. Tho.snpremo court
refuses the motion for a rehearing , and
says ; "Council must bo permitted some
latitude and discretion in addressing a
jury , and if absolute correctness of state
ment is required , nowtriah for failure in
this rospc.cn , wo apprehend , will have to
bo grunted in almost every contested
case. " With such an utterance , the
jurors will bo warned against believing
all that the luwers utter in the heat of
argument when enthusiastic for their
clients.

There have been varied contests grow
ing out of the attempted enforcement of
the prohibitory law , and numerous inter
esting law questions have been brought
out. Among the latest questions is one
in regard to the forms of the reports to bo
filled by those having county permits to
sell for medical and other purposes.
Judge Givcns , of the DCS Moines circuit
court , has just rendered two decisions
which are interesting as touching upon
the manner of making such reports. The
most essential parts of these decisions arc
given as follows :
I hold it to bo a matter of common knowl
edge to all conversant with the business that
a case of beer means twenty-four quarts of
boor in bottles , and hence that a icpnrt ot tlio
number ot cases of beer Is a report of thy
quantity. As to distilled spirits , while pioof
gallons me the only rcpioscntative of actual
quantity , yet as tlio tuulu between the dealer
ami consumer Is uniformly can led on by the
wine gallon , nnd as , under the federal stat
utes ami those of the state , the dealer as such
is prohibited tiom mixing IKHIOIH , wo hold
that the term quantity as used in the statute
with refcienco to distilled sphits means the
wine ami not pioof gallon. Section -015 of
the Code proulcs the bnirel shall be called
"thirty-one and a half gallons. " Hence wo
hold that the report of the quantity of dis
tilled spirits by the baircl has , under
the statute , and commercial usage , a defi
nite meaning , to-wit : thiity-ono and n half
callous , nnd as to the quantity , Is a compli
ance with tlio law , Theiuport of freight paid ,
we think , Is siilllclently definite , being at HO
much per gallon , and from which nnd tlie ;
uwuIisaiwM nny gallon" , llio costs
can bo ncciuntely tleteimlncd. llu\ing nr-
li veil at these conclusions as to the manner
of estimating the quantity of liquors as con
templated in the statute , wo hold It entirely
possible to determine tiom each ot these in-
ports each paiticulnr icqtilml to bo icpoitcd.
Whether they will account for all liquois on
hand nnd purchased , or show that nil sales
were within the proms allowed , wo have not
determined , as the plnlutllf doc.s not rest his
action upon either of tl cso causes. The mo
tion Is sustained and vcidlct ordered lor tlie
defendant.

wo might hold that the use of "do" or tlio

Crooked Scheming.
Dell Smith and Jacob Hunkloa'-e ' under
am-st on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The ease is rather
peculiar. Ilunklo owns live horses , on
which Shugart , Walt & WJcs have a mort
gage. Smith , who has been drhiug a
dirt wagon tor Ilunklo , went to the olHco
of A. 11. Johnson , No. a.3 Pearl street ,
and representing that the team belonged
to n'm ' , borrowed $50 , giving a mo.'tgngo
on the team. It being learned that the
team belonged to Uunklo , ami that there
was already a mortgage on the hordes ,
Smith w.xs anvitiid. Ho claims that
Ilunklo got him to borrow the money ,
and that llunkjo plnnucd the scheme.
Ho says ho gave Ilunklo half of the money
thus obtained , and kept the other half ,
llunklp denies that ho knew anything
about Smith borrowing the money unjd.
Smith's arrest , and that ho cliu hoi put up
the job or have anything to do with it.
TUcr will both be given.n hearing to-J i' .
Smith has Served one term for passing
counteifeit money , which causes his
story to bo looked on with some distrust.
ColTiimu'fl Ilomls.
The ColTman case has taken a now
shoot. It seems that ho is being caused
considerable trouble by the action of Frc
mont llenjamln , who served as one of his
attorneys. Benjamin demands $2,500
fees for what lie has done in the caso.
Coll'man , while expressing his readiness
to pay any reasonable amount , refuses to
pay any such amount as this , claiming
that the services were not so valuable.1 , as
the case had not reached * further than the
grand jury room. Benjamin was also
one of Coll'man's bonusmeu , the bonds
being ? 10,000. Thu dill'oronco arising
about the tecs as attorney has caused Hen-
jamin to go off tliu bond , and this neces
sitated a now bond. Coll'man was there
fore delivered up to the sherllV. and yes
terday ellbrts were being made to seeuro
a new bond. Until this is completed

Abe Styres , who was at work on Eleventh
avenue , was quite badly injured by the

witli other workmen in lowering on jacks

had just been completed. One of tlie
braces slipped and Styres was caught and
quite badly injured. When I ho house

STODDAPUVS MULE ,
A Nevada Story of How It Broke
Fcrrj iniiii DnKtictt' * ) Business.
Carson ( Nevada ) Appeal : Many years
ago down in Idaho , ( luring a gold excite
ment , a good money men went into the
country to make many outside the gold
hunting industry. 'I heir idea was to
make tlie other fellows delve for tlio gold
while they appropriated it afterward.
Itollin Daggett , aftciward Nevada's
Congressman , established a ferry-boat
on a small creek and named the place
"Death's Ford , " at the same time invent
ing a musty legend to the ollect that it
was thus named because so many lives
had been lost in the attempt to cioss it.
The stream was not over a dozen yards
wide and tlie water nowhere over two
feet dec ) ) , but he rigged up a llatboat
ami pulled it back and forth by a rope
contrivance Whenever the prospectors
crossed ho regaled thoiii witli horrible
tales of the treachery of the stream , and
the remorseless quicksands which had
drawn so many men and mules to terri
ble deaths.
In the night when ho ferried people
over ho would caution them not to get
too near the edge of the boat , as a fall
overboard meant certain death. By let
ting the dim old lantern go out and mak
ing slow time ho frequently impressed
tlio passengers with the idea that the
stream was naif a mile wide. For night
trips ho charged $5 , but if the wind was
high and the weather bail ho struck san-
quine prospectors for much laigor sums
In the daytime $1 was his modest charge.
He went along in tins way for several
months , the men who rushed to the hills
looking upon him : is a benefactor to his
race by this conquering of so .formidable
an obstacle to travel as "Death's Ford. "
One clay Charley Stoddard , the promoter ,
appeared on the bank with a mule and
boarded the llatboat to cross. In the
midst of the stream , just when the ferry
man was telling how dangerous tlio
nlaco was , the mule crew restive and
loll overboard. One leg caught on a
rope and ho got his head under water ,
and , unable to extricate Himself , was
drowned. When ho was cut loose he lay
there in the middle of "Death's Ford , "
half out of water , so that all who came
along saw what a miserable sham the
ferry was , and that any four-footed ani
mal could walk across. Daggott tried to
get the mule away , but ho was too heavy
to budge , nnd so ho lay thi're in ' , ' „ ' „ ,
oigiic inr WCCKS , V. " ' . . iJ.Tggett/s business
as a ferryman was ruined. That's the
reason old Dag hardly over speaks to
Charlie Stoddard when he meets him.
A FAMOUS DINNER.
The Greek Banquet Which Mme. Lo
Brun Oncn Gtivo Her FrloiulH.
Many tales were told of Mine. Lo
Brim's extravagance , says Clara Krskino
Clement , writing on "Art and Artists"
in St. Nicholas for March ; but her own
account of an entertainment which she
gave , and which was a subject of endless
remark , shows how little she merited
censure in that instance , at least. She
relates that she had invited a number of
friends for an evening to listen to the
reading of a pout. In the afternoon ,
while her brother read to her an account
of an ancient 'ireciun dinner , which even
gave the rules for cooking , Mma. ho
Brun determined upon improvising a
Greek suppur for her guests. She lirst
instructed her cook as to the preparation
of the toed , and then slio borrowed from
u dealer whom she know some cups ,
vases , and lamps , and arranged her
studio with the cllect which an artist
knows have to make.
Among her guests wore several beauti
ful women , and they all wore costumes
as much like the old ( ircek costumes as
was possible in tlio short time for
preparation. Mine , Lo Bruu wore thu
white blouse In which she always paint
ed , and added a veil and crown of
Howcrs. Her little daughter and another
child were dressed as pages , ami carried
antique vases. A canopy was hung
above the table , and the iruosts were
placed in pictnrosquo attitudes , and the
whole cllect was such that when the
later comers reached the door of the
Biinpcr-room they had u delightful sur
prise. It was as ft they had been trans-
potted to another ago and clime ; a Greek
song was chanted to the mnsiuof thu
lyre , and when honey , grapes , and other
dishes wore served after the Greek man
ner tlio enchantment was complete ; a
member of the company iccitcd odes
from a Greek poet of ancient times , and
all passed otV delightfully.
The fume of this novel affair spread
all over Paris , and its magnificence ami
its costs wore said to bo marvelous. Some
of the couit Indies asked Mine. Lo Brun
to repeat it , but nliu refused , and they
wcro disturbed by it , The king was told
that the supper cost 20,000 francs , but
one of the gentlemen who had been pro-
bout told hi * majesty the truth. However ,
the fcum was swelled to 10,000 by the time
Ilui story leached Home. Mine Lu Bruu
writes ; At Vienna the Buronesi do
- _ - -
g
StrogonofTtold mo that Iliad spent 60,000
{ ra.ncs for my Greek , supporj that at St.
'otcrsbnrg the price was nt length h'\cd
at 80,000 , francs , and the truth is that that
supper cost me about 15 francs. "

"Wouldn't I. " salt ! the husband.
It was cruelly ntiibiguous It might
mean anything. You could not tell
whether ho meant lie would be glad or
sorry , or If he was merely chiding her for
sayiiig such a thing.
11 W hen you were sick dill I watch

"Well , yes ; yon acorn to worry a good
deal. I'll admit ; but - "
"But - What" What are you going
to say now ? 1 never met anything so un
feeling and ungrateful as a man. "
"Now look here , " he said to the guest ,
"I want to explain I don't want to say
anything harsh or mi kind about her.
She's been a pretty good wife , as wives
go son know , but < ; lie is nothing if not
artistic. Shu has an eye for color. My
hey , if ever you marrv , don't marry a
woman who has taste and an eye for

"Don't mind him , " broke in the wife.
"He's "
talking nonsense.
"I was sick onee. 1 dislocated my
shoulder and I couldn't move. That was
where she had me. I could eat and
drink and do everything but gut up and
move. No sooner did sue get mo fairly
down on a lounge than she wheeled the
lounge out into tlie lightest place in the
house , and for a week she kept trying all
sorts of coverlets , and tidies , and hang

"That is an awful , fearful , wicked
story ! "
"Now , my dear , you know it isn't.
Vou Know noriectlv well I could not re

" 1 didn't do anything of the kind. "
"I won't tell him , my dear , about that

"What sickness ? "
"Well , when you got those new never

' You can't give mo away. I'm not

"Well , j'ou remember when vou bought

"You iust hold your tongue. I'm

An
Buftalo Exnrcs ; : Clever Tom Whifi'on
tells mo tins nnuoilotu" Before the days
of rapid transit on the Atlantic , English
actors wore few and far between in this
country. In thee times sin Englishman
in America was more or less of a curios
ity as many of them are even now. In
a company which was d oing Shakspuaro
at one ot the Boston theaters was an
English actor named Cojonian. Ho was
an actor of the old sWioyl , and quite as
tragic oil' the stage as on. His iullow-
players charted him in the dressing-room
on account of his bemg an Englishman ,
and particularly on a dilh'culty ho had in
the use of the aspirate. This had been
done so much that the Englishman was
roused to fiiriousncss if anyone dared to
imitate his cockney misuse of the eighth
letter ot our alphabet. One morning he
came down to breakfast at the Tremont
house in a not very pleasant framu of
mind. Ho had been charted pretty hard
thu evening before , and in addition had
not slept well The waiter a darky of
the darkest hue laid the bill of faro be
fore him and awaited his order.
" 'Avo you liany fresh heggs this morn
ing ? " asked Coleman.
"Yes , sail , " answered the darky ,
" 'ow'll you 'avc 'em cooked , pah ?
Boiled , scrambled , fried , homelet ; hanv
way you like sab. "
Coleman tinned quickly , gave the
waiter a sharp look , frowned , and then
as though making up his mind that Ins
ears had deceived him , indicated his
preference in the way of "heggs..1
"Hany think hel/.e , sab1' asked the
waiter. "Cawn beef 'ash ' is very nice
sab , dis muwin' . Bit of fisii , sah ? AM-
but steak , sah ; linnan 'addies ' , fresh cod
- " Colcman's face had turned purple.
He jumped to his feet , caught the waiter
by the collar , and held him at arm'H
length.
"What do you mean , sirrah , " ho
roared. "By himita.ting a geutlo.mun's
npcecn. i-avcfi mlna to throttle you ,
you himpertinent scoundrel. "
"Hi begs your pardon sah , but hi real
ly can't 'elp it. Ili'm an Englishman
myself , sail. "
"You lie , you villain , " bollowcd _ Cole
man , "you've been paid for this. " By
this time some of tlie other guests had
intervened , and tlie darky , pale with
fear , was released from the actor's
clutches , The head waiter vouched for
the fact that the darkey was an English
man , born at Putney , and Coleman , re
stored to his equilibrium , settled down
to his breakfast again , but with a change
of waiters.
