HASCALL'S RESOLUTIONS ARE TRIMMED
Meeting of VnryltiK Temper nt Which
Some DlfTrrctierN Are Talked
Oter After onicorn of the
Club Arc Ulcctcil. ,
Lait night's meeting of the First Ward
Republican club opened like n regular love
feast , then grew at notsy and turbulent as a
war dance , and closed with n show of doubt
ful harmony. Councilman Hascall nnd Ernest
Stunt were present and entertained the
member * with rehearsals of the recent un
pleasantness over the councllmanlc contest.
The principal business of the meeting was
the election of the following officers : Presi
dent , A. M. Hack ; vice president , A. Larson ;
nccretary , R. 1C. Paxton ; treasurer , Joseph
Kent. The election of an executive commit
tee was allowed to go over until the next
meeting , which will be held February 21.
Judge * Estello began the speech making.
Hn said , that It was now n good tlmo to lay
asldo petty Jealousies and present a solid re
publican front to the common enemy. Ills
great desire was to see the republican party
Iwl to victory next fall by William McKlnley.
Ho had had several Interviews with that
gentleman and was satisfied to let htm do all
of his ( Estcllo's ) thinking on the silver and
the tariff questions. He believed that a set
tlement of the tariff question would neces
sarily cause a better state of affairs finan
cially , and thcro would be no need of discus
sions concerning the various kinds of money.
HOME OF THE STATESMAN.
Hascall and Stunt were called for , nnd
each appeared to bo bashful about speaking
first. Finally Hasc.il ! took the floor. He
enumerated the many municipal honors held
by citizens of the First ward , nnd declared
that that was proof of Its being the homo of
Btatcsmen. lie paid that he never made
application for the honor which he now held.
The cfllce B3Ught the man. His friends
oskcd permission to use his name as a cot.-
dldato , and he hadn't It In his heart to
deny them the privilege. Then ho nar
rated the many Improvements he had secure'l
for the First ward , and dwelt at great lengthen
on the magnificence of the Tenth street via
duct , which was secured almost solely
through his efforts. Concerning the new de
pot question , ho declared himself heartily In
favor of a now depot to replace the present
structure , but thought that It should be lo-
cited nt Tenth and Mason streets. On
the subject of municipal retrenchment , he
tald that ho was sound. That Is , that the
council had already saved enough money to
the city , and that retrenchment had been
carried far enough.
"Every unnecessary office has been abolished
ished and the mlarlcs of the city officers
have been cut to n , point below which It Is
impossible to go. "
lu closing his speech ho urged his hear
ers to paw a resolution of thanks to the
council for having elected him to represent
the First ward.
At this point ho had a friend present a
sot of resolutions to that effect. The reso
lutions dealt harshly with Ernest Stunt , and
declared that he had worked in an underhanded - I
handed manner to secure the condemnation of
the action of the council by the South Side
Improvement club : The members thought
that Mr. Hascall's resolutions were n little
too bitter on Mr. Stuht and would not con
sent to their adoption. Hascall then struck
out the most emphatic parts of the denuncia
tion of the action of i Air. Stuht and the
South Side Improvement club and the reso
lutions were passed and ordered printed. In
brief , they express gratification at the elec
tion of so worthy a councilman as Isaac
Hascall , and declare tthat no significance
should bo'attached to the recent action of
'tho S6uth Side Improvement club which de
nounced Hnscall's election.
STUHT MAKES DEFENSE.
Mr. Stuht was finally allowed to speak.
Ho stated that he wanted to deny that he In
stigated the kick among the members of the
South Sldo Improvement club. Hohad
nothing to say against Hascall , but he was
sure that Whselerwas elected In place of
himself , because he was willing towear the
collar of the corporations. He said that the
street car people approached -him , 'but .ho
would not give them any satisfaction , and
that he was accordingly turned down.
Hascall brought the meeting to a close
with the second edition of his speech. Ho
spoke very sweetly about Mr. Stuht , and , ho
hoped that harmony would prevail. No
corporation should ever control his vote.
Still he thought that both private citizens
and corporations had rights that should be
respected. The people wanted extensions
and other favors of the street car company ,
and that company should bo treated with
conciliation.
After a song by Messrs. Cronln , Boyson ,
Tut tie and Somerset , the meeting adjourned.

AMUSEMENTS.
cccocccccccocccccoccccoccco
James O'Neill closed his engagement last
night at Boyd's before the largest audlenca
of the week at that house , presenting his well
known Impersonation of the count of Monte
Crtsto. The entertainment apparently pleased
those present and the cast calls for little In
the way of comment aside from the thor
oughly good work of Hallett Thompson in the
role of Nortler.
An error In the Crclghton theater pro
gram , by which the name of Robert Robin
son appeared In the cast over against the
character of the expressman Cassldy , wns
responsible for the praise bestowed In these
columns upon Robinson. The credit of the
admirable make-up and clever execution of
this part bslongs to Mr. Tony Johnson , a very
promising young actor , who has made a de
cided hit In this comparatively Insignificant
role.
Daniel Sully will bo the attraction at the
Crelghton for the two performances today ,
presenting his attractive comedy drama ,
"Daddy Nolan. " The usual 1113111100 will be
given at 2:30 : , the engagement closing with
tonight's performance.
If there Is any young actor on the stnso
of today who has a bright future , It Is Joe
Caw-thorn , the popular German dialect
comedian , who will make his first appear
ance In this city In his new and successful

evening , and for the three following oven-
Ings. "A FooJ for Luck" tells the
story of an Industrious and Impecunious
young German , Schmltz Geyser by name ,
who wakes up onoi morning to find that he
has been left a fnrt\mo of $0,000,000. He
Is "knocked out , " as ( I were , and does not
know how to get rid of the money. His as
sociates In the store nnd cheap boarding
house como to hlstald , rand the schemes they
originate to separate him from his dollars
are as many and * varUd ns they are laugh
able and successful ; The character 6f Geyser
Is sustained by Mr. Cawthorn. He- has the
support of .John . E. McWade , the baritone ,
Collln Vorrey , Tom Peasley , George T.
\\elch , D. M. Gregory , Tom Hodgeman , Annie
Buckley , Annie Wood. Elsie Irving , Carrie
Francis , Agnes Ardech and the Clayton

nuiuisn IN CYPRUS.
Many Aiielciit Monarch * Eiitoniheil In
the iHlaiul of the Mvillterrnnciiii.
Dr. Max 0. Rlchter , who has spent thir
teen years In archeologlcal exploration In
Cyprus , , says the New York Sun , recently
gave before the Royal Institute of British
Architects an Interesting account or his Im
portant discovery of royal tombs at Tamas-
sos , nnd a summary of the evidence on which
Is based the theory tha Graeco-Phoe- -
nlclan architecture found in Cyprus supplied
to the Hellenes the materials for the for
mation1 of the Ionic Greek volute. Dr. Rlch
ter has established satisfactorily that the
tombs , as well as many other Cypriote an
tiquities , belong to the end of the seventh
or beginning of { Tie sixth century before
Christ. Ho had also shown conclusively that
the stone architectural ornamentation was
intended to represent earlier wood construc
tion and that many of the forms are still
found In the woodwork and architecture of
houses In Cypriote villages. His argument
for the derivation of Ionic forms from Graeco.
Phoenician sources , however , starting from
promises that arc the subject of Ijpt dis
pute among archeologlsts , presents a theory
utlll In the form of a hypothesis , which his
array of facts and ingenious groupings of pic
tures' certainly render plausible.
Dr. Rlchter , like many others , thinks that
the origin of tbo Ionic capital Is to be found
In the form of the Egyptian lotus. Ho be
lieves , too , that Cyprus was not only a meetIng -
Ing place for Greek , Phoenician and Egyp
tian art , as Is generally admitted , but that
the period of Cypriote art is earlier than
that of archaic Greek art , and that , consequently
quently , It was from Cyprus that the charac
teristic archaic Ionic forms were obtalnet
by the Greeks of Asia Minor and Hellas , In
stead of the converse , , which Is the common
opinion. The forms wore not original to
Cyprus , however ; their elements came either
from Egypt or Mesopotamia. Dr. Rlchter
does not undertake to decide this question ,
though his own opinion Is that Egypt Is the
main source , as when wo can trace- definite
Phoenician influence in art It Is on the side
of ugliness rather than beauty.
The proofs offered In support of his theory
by Dr. Rlchter are too technical to bo judged
by any but e.-tperts , especially when unac
companied by his Illustrations. But the
fundamental Graeco-Phoenlclan model , which
according to his demonstration gave rise to
the Ionic volute , may bo seen in New York
on the sarcophagus from Ainathus and on the
two golden bracelets from Kurlon In the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Another chapter In the Marie Wilson-
Raymond case was enacted yesterday In
Judge Powell's court. At a late hour Thursday
night the attorney for C. S. Raymond hunted
up Judge Powell and reprefconted that Mrs.
Wilson and Ruby Wilson had violated the
order of the court , which restrained them
from standing upon the sidewalk or street
adjoining Raymond's store In the Karbach
block , and a further order was asked re
quiring the- women to appear In court and
shew cause why they should not be hold In
contempt. The desired order wns Issued
and placed In the hands of Deputy Sheriff
Grebe , who had some difficulty In serving It.
The two women against whom the last
order was directed appeared in court yesterday
morning , accompanied by Miss Marie Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson was called to the stand and
had a slight brush with the court when
asked to give her namo. She declined to
give It , stating that It was so long that It
would cover an entire page of the docket.
She was finally convinced that the court
meant business and said her baptismal name
was iMnry. She testified that Bho had
started from her hotel to go to the Con
tinental block and as she passed n music
store adjoining Raymond's she stopped an
In : tent to look at an Instrument displayed
In the window. Ruby passed on and paused
In front of Raymond's. The witness glanced
up to see what , had become of her com
panion and seeing her at Raymond's door
at once took her away and they proceeded
on her errand.
An order was then made directing the
sheriff , to take the women Into custody If
they again violated , . the orders of the court.
