" "WHO BOYCOTT WAS. " Every student of word lore knows that the now accepted verb "to boycott , " with the substantive , adjectives and adverb de rived therefrom , are due to the flerco con flict between this elderly gentleman and the tenants under his control during the winter of 1SSO and the spring of 1SS1. Cap tain Boycott was a "small 'squire" at Lough Mask , In the wild Connamara section o County .Mayo. Ho was also land agent o "factor"for several landed proprietors , no tably the earl of Erne. Ho was a man o about 50 years of ago , well preserved and vigorous , with a strong local"rcputatloi for obstinacy. Grim poverty stalked abroad hi the land. The peasantry could not pay their rents , especially In the barren sec tion wherein Boycott dwelt. But the cap tain ( his title Is derived from the militia wax a determined man. He deemed It hi ! duty to collect rents nt all hazards. In this way ho soon found himself at logger heads with the people ; and his name be- eamo a synonym for aggressive "rack-rent- Ing. " Several times he was threatened- but threats had no effect upon him. "My morning mall , " said the captain , "scorned Incomplete without ono or twc bloodthirsty warnings , crudely .drawn pic tures of coinns and the like. Oneo I was actually shot at ; but escaped death by my horse leaping a hedge.

A PHOVISION TRAIN ARRIVES. "Next came a train from Belfast , lo.ide < with provisions for the little garrison , am with It two Imported English servants as cooks. Hut the servants who had 'boycotted me got at these poor girls , and so frightcnci them that they left by the next mornlng'i train and once more we had to do our own cooking. "Of course all the newspapers were ful of my belcaguerment , and little by little the word 'to boycott' crept Into edltorla usage. I did not notice this at the time I had other things to thlnlc of. A fund was raised for me In England and Ireland , bu It did not come near reimbursing me for my expenses and worry. You see , at the time Agrailan 'boycotting' was not Illegal nor was It made so until the crimes aci of 1887. By that tlmo the system had be come so widespread that It threatened to nap the whole social condition In Ireland. It tvns Indeed a most powerful and Insidious weapon , as I am now free to own. "My jChrlstmas and New Year's day ol 18SO-S1 'were anything but enjoyable feasts ; Not a day , scarcely an hour , passed without a fight or a personal encounter between the opposing forces. Our Christmas plum pudding was sent by admirers in London derry , packed In a mall sack. The besiegers malice against his persecutors and some o his beat frlenda todajj are among the verj ( armors who "boycotted" ' him In 1880 aru 18S1. At the famous Diiblln horse show held In BallsbrlJge. annually , his venerable llguro Is a familiar otic , and never falls to attract vigorous applause. He always ha two or three exhibits' , for lie Is a notable breeder or horses and tot cattle. Anothei cause for Captain Boycott's recent popular Ity Is hla embracing at1 ( ho now auti-taxa tlon cause In Ireland b. - cause Into whlcl such former untonl&ts as Lord Castlctown and Lord Maurice Fltafgerald have heartily entered. Indeed , there Is serious talk of sending Captain Uoycotf as M. P. for the Intensely national district of Mayo , In which he lives. This would Indeed bo a change of opinion but Ireland hastcver been a country of such surprises. Certainly the venerable land agent would make a vigorous legislator. NEWSPAPERS MAKE LANGUAGE. The first newspaper tp use tlie verb "to boycott" was United Ireland , a fiery organ of the radical wing of the Parncllltc party. Ths stamp of Journalistic approval was set on the word by the London Times In De cember , ' 1SSO ; and thb American panel's seized on It with avMlty as "lining a long felt want. ' A few years later all the prin cipal English dictionaries and several for eign ones admitted It to their columns.

" "Sending to Coventry was indeed the old word for "boy cotting , " and had been found a highly ef fective method of warfare. The idea be came popular at once and the first Impor tant victim of the Knnls program was Cap tain Boycott of the County Mayo. ' "I was warned that If 1 did not c aso acting in the Interest of my landlord em ployers , " Mill the captain , "that I should bo left 'severely alone. ' This did not ecaro me. and I continued working as before. Then the 'boycott1 began. My own harvest was late that year , and when I tried to engage harvesters 1 was everywhere met with re fusals. Not a man among the laborers of my parish or barony dared to work for me. " THE SIEGE BEGINS "Tho corn remained standing. But this was not the worst.

In September of this year the Gorman Woman's Coffee I'arty , "Kaueo liranzciien , win uo iv/ciuy-uvo yeara old , having been founded here In 1872. It' Is Omaha's oldest social club. The Coffee Party was atarlcd by Mrs. Eleanor Kocnlg , and the charter members were : Mrs. Aaron Cahn , Mrs , f'uadt , Mra. Maria Hellman , Mrs. Edward Hoscwater , Mrs. Krutlle , Mrs. William Scxaucr , now living 1m Is'cw1 Orleans ; Mrs. Bat.urton , Mrs. Itoeder , Mrs. A. S. Brown , Mrs. Kolls , now a resident of Grand Island ; Mrs. Kanny Gold smith and Mrs. Kocnlg. A few other mem- bora ha/o been taken In frcmi time to tlmo during the quarter of a century ( ho club has been In existence , but the membership roll has never contained moro thin fourteen namea. The average membership has been jetwcon twelve and fourtiicn. Tno remarkable fact about the organiza tion , next to the fact 'that It It. Iho oldest social club In Omaha , Is that there has not jeon a single death among the loumleru , or among any of the active members. Several of the members have removed from Omaha to other cities , but none have dJ | , All the members are married women : or widows , ov- iral of them having lost their huibands dur- ng the past twenty-five years. It la pro posed to perpetuate tlio club by the election if the daughters of the members , thus hand- ng down the venerable Coffee Party to the succeeding generation , CONTINUED ITS OIIGANIHATION. During the twenty-five years of Its career the club has met at the residences of HE Members In regular turn once during every 'ortnlght , except In the summer wontlm. Thursday afternoon of every second week lus been , and still Is , the appointed time or the members to gather. As Indicated by ho title , coffee Is sipped , and over the cof- eo cups uro dUctiBscd pertinent subjects of Omahu society. As Omaha has grown from a crude western village to a metropolitan city , the program of topics for discussion ias Increased accordingly , At preuent the chief subject of Intercut among tlia members s the appropriate celebration of the twenty- Ifth anniversary of the club'e birthday. iVhllo no plans have yet been formulated or tliU occasion , It may bo predicted that he affair will bo or an elaborate character , suitable for a celebration of mnh a note- vorthy event , The mere sipping of coffee and the dlspo- Itlon of other good things to cat nnd drink , and social Intercourse , I nvo not been the only Incidents In the life of ttio Gorman Women's "Kaffco Kranzilien , " There has leen considerable charitable wofk quietly lorformcU by the membuis among deserving icoplo In distressed clreumstuncei Niinier- niH Instances where Omaha families have been helped over rough places In life's high way might be cited , I'lij'slc'lutia' bills have icon paid and funeral cxjieiibea mot , Kven life Insurance policies have been kept paid by the Coffee party , while some worthy per son was struggling along , and until that ono was able * to again asuumc the burden. The fund which has been drawn upon In so many cases of charity during the past twenty-five years has been accumulated by the contribution of 10 cents by the mcmbeis at each meeting. If one stops to llguro out what such contributions , even of a dozen jsromcn , would amount to during a quarter of a century , ho will soon find himself well along In the hundreds of dollars. The members of the Coffee party have al ways remembered the principal wedding an niversaries of their colleagues , and have usually presented aome token of esteem and remembrance on such ooaslons. : With the fortnightly meetings during the winter months , dud occasional picnics dur ing the summer season , there haa been ce mented n bond of genuine friendship among the members which comes only from long association and co-operation for irorthy ob jects. i.viioit AXD iNnusTiiv.

A London paper says that In the Exeter days of Archbishop Tcmyilo , when ho was suspected cf hcteiodoxy , a ycurg eura'c canio to him one day and talrt : "My lord. It Is rumored that you" are not able to bellevo In special Interpositions of Provldance on be half of certain persons. " "Well ? " grunted the bishop. "Well , my lord , here Is the ease of my aunt. My aunt Journcyo to Kxc- trr every Wednesday by the same train and In the name compartment of the same carriage Invariably. IautVediicsday she fell a disinclination to go , and that very day an accident occurred by which the car riage of the train was smashed to pieces. Now , was not that a direct Interposition of Providence on behalf of my aunt ? " "Can't fay , " growled the bishop ; "don't know your aunt. " Th" Itnltln.crc Herald tells a good story of Bishop Parct ( Episcopal ) of that city. Some tlmo ago ho was the guest of an Episcopal family In Wrot Virginia. Learning from the bishop that ho liked hard-boiled eggs for breakfast , his hostess went to the kitchen to boll them herself. While so engaged she began to sing the first stanza of the hymn "Itock of AftCH. " Then uhe sant ; the second stanza , the bishop , who wim In the dining room , joining In. When It wca flnliilird there was fcllcncc , and the bishop remarked : "Why not sing the third vc-wc ? " "The third verbo ? " replied Iho lady , as she came Into the dining room carrying the steaming rggs ; "oh ! that's not ntcc aary. " "I don't undcrotand , " replied bishop Parct. "Oh ! you see , " she tald. "when I am cooking egns i always ulng one verse for soft-boiled and two for hard-boiled. " Speed was once demonstrated on a west ern road In a fashion to curl the hair ot at least 0110 old Mormon hhhop. The churchman ror.oldprcd It a phenomenon , and got off the train ns quickly ag hn could. Ho had biillwhacked across the plains In the early days , and , strange to say , had never ridden on a ralli-nnd trrln until the time when ho entered upon hl trip froni Oreen Hlver to Ran I'rnuflttto. The speed was , therefore , a revelation to him. IIo had never before ween nnytnlng ko swift , and ho was scared.
