The mass meeting of the members of
( ho Irish National league and oilier citi
zens of Omaha , held in Cunningham hall
yesterday afternoon , was well attended ,
notwithstanding the storm. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr. J. A. Me-
Shane , president of the league , who said
that it seemed right nnd proper to as
semble together lo uxpross sympathy
with the bravo and heroic cilorts that are
being made in the llrltlsh parliament for
the liberty of the Irish people. American
sentiment publicly expressed will do
much to influence England's action in
regard to the adoption of homo rule for
Ireland.
Mr. T. J. Mahonc.y was chosen secre
tary of the meeting in the absence of the
scorelary of ihc league.
The eoniniittco appointed to draft reso
lutions endorsing ( he home rule plan us
proposed by Gladstone , reported the fol
lowing :

Gladstone merits the esteem and ndmliatlon
of nil liberty-loving people thu world over for
hli wisdom and manly coinage In pioposlng
two measnies lecently inesuntctl by him for
conalileiallon in the llnlish iiarllament , and
popularly known ns tlic Home Kulu bill and
the Irish l.imd bill.
Second That long-delayed justice to Ire
land , that tli ( ! most piL'ssIng dictates of
a .sound policy , that an enlightened
statesmanship ot the highest order , and the
progressive spiiit of ( be age , all demand that
6omo iiticli htops sbo lid be taken.
Tlilid That In our opinion tin early pas
sage of said bills will tend to allay , if not en-
tliely remove , the feelings of hostility which
linve already existed too loim between Ire
land and England : will inspire each with amore
moro hearty good will for the other and
promote the lasting happiness , wcl
arc and prosperity of both without detract-
Ing.ln the slightest degiee.ironi tliesticngtb ,
dignity or unttv of the empire.
Uf Fourth That the self-restraint ot the Irish
people during the whole course of the pics-
cut gicat struggle for national justice ; their
submission under the trying lest of Kngllsh
coercion to the stern discipline of a cool and
sagacious leadership give to the world the
strongest possible gnniaiitee that licland ,
ruled by the wisdom and genius of her own
i-tatesniaiislilp will enter upon tbatcaieerof
prosiieilty and achievement of which the
American people believe her In the highest
Uogieo capable.
Filth-Tlwt if said bill should ultimately
fall of ( > im-Intent , we fear the sub-it of dis
content , which inevalls among the people of
Ireland , leeelving a new impetus from such a
soic disappointment , will assume such loim
as to postpone- for many years , if not blast
for nil time to eome , those cheering prospects
of peace , concoid and reconciliation , which
now seem so nearly at baud.
Sixth That we most heaitily congratulate
the gallant Clmilcs Stowait I'.u'iit'll and his
bravo compatriots on the Moiiilcrful progress
that has attended ( heir uneiiiialled efforts to
emancipate Ireland iiom penury , misrule
and despair.
Air. J.T. Moriarty explained at length
the tenor of the resolutions and warmly
urged their adoption. Greatest praise is
duo , ho said , to tlio men who have ac
complished so much in the faeo of such
formidable opposition.
Judge Thurston was then called for
and delivered an able and eloquent ad
dress upon the question. Ho considered
it of tiio greatest importance that the
rca'l , deliberate- judgment of.tlio American
people should bo clearly expressedupon
this question Unit involves the happiness
and prosperity of Ireland. The Ameri
can people have watched England's
treatment of Ireland and , without preju
dice , pronounce it unjust , nnwiso and
fcol that it must bo changed. Much of
England's prestige as a nation is duo to
the valor of tlio Irish soldiery who have
fought under the English ling. The Irish
people have dearly earned their liberty ,
and should liaye it. Ho prophesied that
the time is not far distant when England.
Ireland and Scotland , liberalized and
grown strong , will establish a people's
government , embracing all hnglaiid.
The revolutions of the fnturo will
bo political revolutions. Charles Stcwcrt
I'arnoll , through years of struggle and
darkness , has persistently organized , a
political force that demands justice to
Ireland and her people. Heroism of
statesmanship has accomplished what
heroism of arms never could have secured
for Ireland. The hearts of her people
should swell up with gratitude to the
men who have accomplished those re
sults. The address tliougliout was
logical and masterly.
Mr. E. llosewater was called for and
delivered a brief , pointed address. Ho
said ho was heartily in sympathy with
the plan to have liislimeii govern Ire
land. Mr , Gladstone , at the close of his
career , in championing the cniiso of Iro-
liiml against all odds , against all England
almost , deserves thu admiration of all
mankind. His plan will furnish a peace
ful solution of the problem of home rule
ior Ireland. Ho said he believed the
time is coining when Mr. Gladstone's re
form bill will no the key note of a system
of government , which will prevail all
over Eu rope.
At the close of Mr. Rosowatcr's re
marks the resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
The following letter of regret was
road from Mayor Uoyd :
Hon. J. A. MeSlume , President of tlio Na
tional League .My Dear Sir : U'hllo 1 can
not bo with you in person , 1 am with you in
support of Mr. ( Jladslono in blseH'oils to clvo
the people of Ireland the rltrht to make their
invn laws and an opportunity to tiecoino
what nnture designed them to bo freemen ,
llo Is entitled to and should rccoivu the cor
dial and Inllncntlal mippoit ot Irishmen
everywheie , scattwed thoimlithoy bo all over
the civilized win Id. The mensuies as lire-
pared by Air. Gladstone may not bo all that
isdeshed , still they are a step In the right
dlu't'llon , and 1 hope they will pat-s parlia
ment nnd become a law. Kopcctinlly ,

' There'll bo death " said
a to-day , an
old tlnio undertaker , a few days ago.
"Just as I was locking up the s'/oro last
night a big collin in the corner snapped
and cracked two or tlirco limes. Tins is
a sure sign. That collin will have an oc
cupant in loss than twenty-four hours.
You needn't laugh , wo are not the only
people who arc superstitious. Base ball
players are worse than wo aro. One of
the U. P. nine told mo ho knew they
were going to bo defeated at St. Joseph
because ho saw a cross-eyed woman just
as ho was entering Ihe bull park. "
"There is no other jail in tlio country , "
said a prisoner , who spoke from experi
ence , "where ono man handles as many
many prisoners without any assistance at
all as Joe Miller does hero. There are
about eighty of us hero , with I've ' insane
prisoners , but lie manages to keep good
care and watch of us all day and night ,
and single handed at that. "
"The streets of this city after midnight ,
now , arc generally asquletas the grave. "
Ho was an old time policeman who had
seen tlio days not long since when the
nightly thoroughfares were pregnant
with sin and shame. "Those wcro good
times for the saloons and houses of in
famy , but they were sad ones for many a
lirewido from which homo favored son
nightly wandered. Those nights brought
fortunes to the resorts of eastern Omaha ,
while they brought want to the pocket
of many a young clerk. There is scarce
ly ono of them now loft , but then there
was many a good boy in tlio employ of
the Union I'acillc who lost both rust and
reputation , as ho also lost his money. I
remember about ten of them. They
generally started out together , but re
turned homo not upon their s'liolds ' , but
frequently upon little things looking like
shingles. They woru jolly.llyuly fellows ,
and never moro jolly than after they had
gene the rounds of 'drinks for
the party , ' until the party found
itself in a. condition familiarly
styled intoxicated. When the
month's salary was gone , they visited
their 'undo' , 'negotiated' with their
friends , 'stood oil'1 the tailor , 'checked
the landlady , 'ticketed' the waah bill and
'hypothecated' with the janitor. Monday
they were generally 'broke up1 , the rest
of the week ditto. How they ever man
aged to draw the blinds over the mag
nates' eyes at headquarters , I don't , un
derstand , unless tl'o 'wealth1 which the
flithers of the -
young scape-graces pos
sessed had some magical quality. Peace
to them wherever they arc. "
' There are western customs which I
like and western customs which 1 don't
like , " remarked a theatrical man yester
day at the Milhml. "I've been hero fre
quently during lliu past live years , and
have invariably watched your funerals.
15y the by , there gees ono now , " said tlio
speaker , looking from tlio waiting room
to the street : "Sec there , just what I was
about to toll you. There's the undertaker.
He's just at the head of the funeral. You
see , he's shivering , but he'll stand it. Ho
has modest semi-sorrowful hemi-re-
a , - , - -
signed cast of countenance as if ho were
really leading the funeral of his sweet
heart. And yet. I'll wager a farm he
cares no moro about about
tlio deceased behind him than
I do about the average eustomorin whom
I pretend to bo most absorbingly inter
ested. If ho might do so , that under
taker who has just passed would assume
a east of features as practical and pleas
ant as a man who has made a sale. But
he dare not do so. It would scandalize
the peoulo , and I suppose ho would never
get another job from tlio friends of the
deceased. Of what ii.se is lie , at tlic head
of a funeral. Ho isn't ornamental , nei
ther is ho us&ful. On a cold day ho
freezes everybody who can't stand a
freezing temperature for two or three
hours. In hot weather ho roasts all who
are not by nature intended for and so
equipped for an inferno. In the cast wo
take care of our funerals ourselves.
The average family would deem it almost
profanation to have a hireling attend a
friend after death. .Surviving friends re
serve that duty for themselves , and the
thought of kin'drcd or loved ono paying
to those departed the last tribute of ap
preciation and love is edifying and con
soling to the bereaved heart. The under
taker , as a marshal , ought to be retired.
Ho knows ho holds place only through
suHerance and dillidenco and not infre
quently is ho admonished to drive behind
There are some knights of the dismal
business of death who would go out of
the business if they could not in this man
ner cither advertise or display them
selves. There are some undertakers ,
too , who are mortified cacli time they
liavo to put themselves before a captious
public. " _

Millions of Worn onVenr Trousers
From a lecture by Dr. Mary Walker :
Corsets are lilllo llilngs , and they don't
look very dangerous , but they deform
the body and break down the Health of
the wearer.ovcn though they are not very
tight. Then the weight of a woman's '
multitudinous clothes. Just think of it.
Why , if men had to carry about with
them such a weight they would never bo
able to got through with over half their
business. Now , what are wo to conclude
will bo the future of our republic- there
is not a radical change in woman's
dress ? If llio mothers are not physically
and morally strong , what will the sons
and daughters bo ? What is dross for ? Is
it merely for show , or is it for protection
to the body ? 1 think it is the latter.
There are three times as many women
in tlio world who wear pants as there are
men and women together in the United
States and England , Look at China with
her millions. They have had one fashion
for years. It is comfortable , they reali/o
that it is healthful , and they stick to it.
The common sense dress of the men of
our land is about all that could be desired
for women. It is light , and is not cou
stantly pulling down , like a ton of lend ,
and It is a real protection to tlio body.
But women say if wo wear mcivs
clothes , everybody will ridiculous , and
wo will even bo liable to insult and ar
rest by policemen , who do not fully un
derstand the law. Well , suppose you
are ridiculed a little. The early Cliris-
lians were laughed at , and even perse
cuted to the death. Not moro than 100
years ago , in London , a man or woman
who carried an umbrella was hooted at ,
and followed by a mob of men and boys.
Now , I would not think It any particu
lar favor if half the men in the United
States should ask mo to bo their wife. I
have had men , intelligent nnd wealthy
men , como to mo and say : "Dr. Walker.
I respect you ; 1 rcspectyour intellect and
your good sense , and 1 believe if you only
dressed like other women 1 would love
you and ask you lo bo my wife. " Well ,
do you know what I told lliom ? I said :
"Thero are plenty of women in the world
who dress just as you want them to ; go
and marry them. " 1 don't want any man
to marry mo for my clothes , or because ,
when 1 am dressed up 1 look well. If 1
am married it must bo from tlic highest
motives.

perfect giants. The lightest man weighs

cost.Men
Men and women , between the ages of 17 and (53 ( years , who are in good health ,

There Is no changing from ono class to another , and assessments do not increase
with advancing ago.
The Company has a guarantee fund of $100.030 paid up in cash , which is an ad
ditional security to that furnished by any company in tlio United Stales.
It has a Heserve fun.l which provides for a non-forfeiting policy and a paid-up
policy.
The Company Is located in the West : lla business is confined to the healthy West ,
and applications from persons residing in nularial districts aec not accepted , which
will insure few assessments , and a consequent o\emplloi : from any onerous liability.
A local Advisory Board , composed of not less than live leading oiti/.uns of each
vicinity , may In formed , who may act as advisory counsel In the settlement of claims
by the death of members and as to the admission of applicants to nnmhershlp.
A member who lapses his cortilic.ito may ro-mstato the same at any time upon
satisfactory evidence of good health , by the payment of all delinquent dues and
assessments ,
Is'oiusurancc company in this or any other country has ever failed by reason of
of the death-rate uvporicnco The failure in each instance lias been caused by pecu
lation or speculation. The safe guards Introduced render botli impossible in this
Association.
Our business is confined to tlio endowment for old ago , and the payment of the
widows and orphans after death ,
The policy is more liberal , and the plan moro secure , than any company in the
United States.
Co-operative Insurance Companies existed in England 200 years befor.i the stock
plan was thought of , and the same companies exist to-day , some of them having
nearly one million members. When niaua' od judiciously , they cannot break. Wo
guarantee every promise we maked with $100,00 ; ) this baing in addition to the ? 100- ,
000 provided for as a Reserve Fund which is a more liberal provision and oiler than
ny oilier company makes.
The Strength of This Association Consists of
GUARANTEE FUND , ENDOWMENT PLAN ,
RESERVE FUND , NON-FORFEITING POLICY ,
GRADED RATES , PAID-UP POLICY ,
SELECTED RISKS , A DEPOSITORY TO PROTECT THE
TONTINE SYSTEM , RESERVE FUND ,
LIFE PLAN , CAPITAL STOCK.
Tlio cost of life protection In tins company is less than any company in thu
United States. The company isgood and payments prompt.
This Association is now entering its third year , and has a large membership ,
which is constantly increasing.
At death or maturity of endowment the member receives his interest in the
Reserve Fund in addition to tlic amount duo on the policy.
All policies become lion-forfeiting after tlic third year to the extent of the mem
ber's interest in tlio Kosorvo Fund.
