THE FIRST HELD THIRTY YEARS AGO Detnll * of One Fanion * 1'nrnilc Plan * for Thl Ycnr'K nbcrvnnee _ Sketch of the Career of Johnlnl > ' . Next Thursday , March 17 , Is Ireland's nub- tltuto ( or a Fourth ot July , minus the ex plosive character ot the latter. Strictly Breaking , St. Patrick' ! day Is a religious festival ; yet , because Ireland baa no natal day , tlio Irish race scattered over the earth regard It ns the most appropriate one on rohtch to give rein to the hopes and aspira tions of fatherland and to recall the glories ot thn past In Irlali history. Celebrations ot the day are bounded only by civilization. Not alone In Ireland , but In these United States , called by Rome enthusiasts the "Oicater Ireland" In Canada , Auatialla , In remote India , South Atrlca and In many parts ot South Amcitca , do men ot Irish birth and dexcrnt observe- the anniversary by public processions , or commemorative meetings. The Celtic heart that does not quicken Its pulsations when the green flag rustics over the heads ot sturdy men , marching to martial music , or throb responsive to a climax of Irish oratory , may be set down as a de cadent organ. Public processions are not as numerous In the United States as on former St. Patrick's days. That feature of the annual celebration appears to be on the decline. Two causes operate to diminish thorn. The chief cause Is the cost. The second la a strong deposition to cbservo other anniversaries that are wholly political. The latter tendency Is not conspicuous In Omaha , nevertheless public processions are tabooed. The last ono seen on St. Pfttrlck'n day In Omaha was sU years ago , when the Ancient Order of Hibernians celebrated with a parade. OLD-TIME CELEBRATIONS. It la nssoitcd by Omahans whose memory EO back thirty years or more that the cele brations of the annlvcrsaiy , as far back ns 18CD and 1871 , have navor been surpassed. In thcso days the numerical strength of the Irlt.il colony In. Omaha was not a fifth of what It has been at any time In the last ten years. Yet , when the 17th of March rolled around the old-timers donned their holiday clothes , dusted and aired the old flags , se cured bands and marched to the music of "Quid Ireland , " regardless of the weather. Generally the weather clerk smiled on the event. On some occasions , however , they plodded through the affectionate rnud of Omaha streets long before pavemcnU were X thought of. Neither rain nor mud could dampen their nrdor. Even when the 17th fell on Sunday , they did not think of cele brating on the ICth or on the 18th. On one of these occasions In the early ' 70's , while preparations were under way . for a pro cession , several of the promoters sought to coiiflno the observance to church services. But they wcro promptly silenced. Judge Kelly , a legal character of bygone years , was t the meeting. Elevating his diminutive taturo on a chair and Blinking his bushy locks In seeming agitation , he poured out a 3iot Celtic speech , closing with this flour ish : "If you'll never do anything worse than marching in honor of Ireland's saint on Sunday , I'll guarantee you a free pass to heaven. " That settled the question , and the parade started at the appointed tint * . THE FIHST EVENT. The first St. Patrick's day parade In Omaha was held just thirty years ago. Three organizations participated In the turn out Fenian guards. SarsdcUl league and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. James Crelgh- ton was grand morclial , and his assistants Mr. Keogh , Jchn Rush and Thomas Swift. .Tho day waa a rarely beautiful one balmy , ( bright and dry underfoot. The procession marched to St. Phllomena'a cathedral , where mass was celebrated by the pastor. Rev. John Curtis. From the cathedral the pro cession inarched to the old state house on Capitol hill , where General George M. O'llrlcn delivered the principal address. , The celebrations In 1869 and 1871 arc accounted the finest ever held In Omaha. That of 1S69 was marshaled by P. J. Mc- Namara , with a host of aids whoso names could not be learned. It was not an agreo- ftblo day for marchers , for Omaha mud was abundant. A thin coating of snow bright ened thb prospect , but It did not prevent the footm < m reaching hardpan. The pro cession moved along as icheerlly as If condi tions were favorable , and again assembled In front ot the state house to listen to the speeches. The orator on that occasion was J. ! R. J. Ryan , well known In journalistic cir cles In Omaha. He was then a young lawyer , fresh from college , and not known to many. Ono who mw and heard him on that day says "ho was the personification of' rugged manhood. Above 'the ' average height , with strongly marked features and Ibushy hair , hla appearance created a favor able Impression. " The same authority says Ryan's speech was a surprise and a revela tion and earned for him instant popularity as on orator. ' A GREAT TURNOUT. ' " The parade of 1871 was -favored with springlike weather and dry streets. A record of the affair In an old norapbook read * aa follows : "The proccoslon started at 9:30 : a. m. from Shout's hall to the ca thedral , whore pontifical high mass was celebrated by Ulihop O'Gorman , assisted by several priests. The addreas was delivered by Father Duma. The music was under itho direction of Prof. Decker. The cathedral choir waa Deflated by Mrs. General Rug- gle * , Mrs. Latey , Mna. Louis Welnsteln and Captain Jones. Effective aid waa rendered toy the city band. The neighborhood of the cathedrul waa packed by people who could not gain admission to the church. After mass the procession took up Its line of march , headed by the marshal , Michael Donovan , and his aides. P. Doran , P. O'Urlen. T. , C. Halley , T. Swift and E. O'Nell. Next came the Ninth Infantry Iband , then the Emmet Monument association fwlth Irish and American flags. Next came a carriage , drawn by four white horses , In . which were Miss Kate O'Brien , representing rtho maid of Etln , holding the Irish flag , and Blisses Maggie O'Connor , Mary Fagan , Mary ( Manning and Ellen Dcane , representing tn ( our provinces. Following this was a large wagon drawn by six white horses and con taining thirty-two young women , who repre sented the counties of Ireland. In front cut 'Michael Fltzmaurlce , harp in hand , in the costume of an ancient bard. "Women in carriages took the next posi tion ; then the Qra department in gala ilri * ! , making a fine display ; citizens not organized , In long rows , wearing badges and carrying flags and preceded by tha Omaha city band ; the major , council and invited Kticsts ; the military , commanded by Captain IConnor ; the temperance and St. Vincent do 'Paul ' societies , preceded by the Union Pa cific band. The procession waa over a mile . In length , and after being reviewed by the mayor and council filed into Rcdlck's opera Jiouse , where a grand tableau was given. Uohn O'Kcefo was orator of the day. " Another great turnout was had in 1874. tut was not as elaborate as that described bare. Tom Kennedy was grand marshal nnd John Kuan orator ot the day. Many foave followed since , mostly of organiza tions. None since the * 70's called out the rank and fileso strongly and so enthusi astically. While the observance of the 17th In Omaha this year will be without a parade , arrange ments have been completed to render the an niversary equally effective In recalling the political condition ot the emerald Isle and in Riving effective old to these struggling for its redemption. A commemorative meetIng - Ing will be held at Crolghton hall , at which u address will be delivered by Mr. John Daly , a distinguished representative of Ui cause of Irish liberty , . MR. DALY'S CAREER. Mr. Daly is a Limerick man , bora and reaared amid surroundings that foster the national spirit. The very air of the ancient city Inspires revolt against alien rule. Its highways and byways are hallowed by his toric struggles for native epremacy running back 10 far Into bygone centuries that the Simple records read like fiction of the chlval- ic g * . The force and fiercenei * of the tallying cry , "Remember Limerick ! " Is to- 4 jr M troaj u whtB I * 1715 it wlded th Irish brigade Into an Irren'Mlbte host anil turned defeat Into victory for the French arms on the plain * ot Fontenoy. Mr. Daly drank in that iplrlt with mother' * milk and ere he reached man's estate he took up the cause which be has follow cd with varying fortunes to the present time. He was In tb& thick of the abortive Fenian movement of 18CC-7 , which rose to the dignity of an International complication In this country , but fizzled completely In Ireland. 'Ho was ono of the anxious band ot poorly armed men who waited Impatiently and in vain for the hoped-for Fenian expedition from America , employing their time casting bullets for use on the enemy. With the collapse of the * . i.iw movement _ _ ! _ _ . . vunapatj UL ttio Ireland became too warm for suspects , and Daly escaped to this country. Returning to Ireland two years later he rn- crod upon a campaign of agitation and or- : anlratlon. Am6ng the leaders with whom ) aly wns associated was the venerable Jahn illtchcll , ono ot the most esteemed patriots > n Ireland's long roll. In 1S70 ho was elected o Parliament trom Tippetary , chlctly ua a irotcst against British rule. Thcie WAS lomo doubt whether Mitchell would take the icctfiiary oath ot allenlanco to enter Parlia ment. To set these doubts nt rest , Mr. Mitchell , though broken In health , appealed it a public meeting , suppotted by John Daly , ind voiced the sentiment embodied In lilo Ife. "I have never made with " peace Eng land , he exclaimed , "and t never will. " After this Incident , Daly Invaded the Ulng- lom , held meetings and started organisations n the largo cities of England , Scotland and tvalcs. and thus substantially aided the re markable movement which culminated in the conversion of the liberal party of England to the principle of homo rule. Mr. Daly was not long In the ranks of > lsh agitators before the British govern ment decided that ho deserved a term In lall. A preliminary dose of Jail life was "liven him for his Fenian activity , but It wa/i lot until 188-1 that he received the full measure of British wrath. Returning from a visit to the United States In the spring of hat year , he was arrested at Birmingham , : hargeJ with being concerned In a dynamite lonaplracy. Conviction was foreordained , Jhlof Farndake of the Birmingham police , .vho was chiefly Instrumental In sending Daly to prison on a life sentence , made a leath bed confession In which he affirmed lhat Daly was Innocent and that all the evidence against him waa manufactured by .ho police. But the confession , though placed In the hand ? of the government , did not Improve Daly's condition. He was not ' ( berated until 1SOG , and then only because Is health was shattered. Mr. Daly Is a man of medium height and weight. His dark hair Is streaked with gray. As an orator he Is clear and forceful. He marshals hla facta like a trained lawyer and makes out a strong csae against England's treatment of Irish political prisoners. He has no faith In half-way measures for Ire land. "I am on extreme nationalist , " he says. "I have never been a home ruler. I believe In the absolute Independence of Ireland. At the same time the national party will accept any honorable or practical measure- that will enable Ireland ! to legislate for Itself.

It Is a fact that a great majority of people flnd difficulty In pronouncing- new ( word when It first moots their eye. This was Illus trated many times , says the Rochester Post , while the Spanish man-of-war > waa In New York harbor. Some said Vlz-ky-ya , others Vlz-kec-ya andtstlll others Vlz-ka-ya. Ac cording to Udo Reger , a professor of lan guages la Rochester , the correct pronuncia tion is Wlth-kl-n , and the accent Is on the second syllable. The " 1" la long and tha 'W has a sharp hissing sound. The pro fessor Is authority for the assertion that all the "zs" that occur In the Spanish language have the sound of "it" and " .b" fused , with the preponderance of sound In favor of the ' 'w. " "B" has the same affliction as the "v. " 'O , " co the professor says , sometimes hsa the sound of "th , " and then again It Is "tz , " but for a change It Is sometimes given Us own hard sound , "k.

FOLK LORE OF THE SHAMROCK Origin and Significance of Ireland's1 National Emblem THE TREFOIL IN OTHER COUNTRIES Held fn Itevercnoe by the Drnld * Prior to Patrick's Time IA. Sacred Symbol of the i'eralan Triad ! . "Oh. the shamrock , the sreen , immortal shamrock ! Chosen leaf Of bard and chief , Old Erln'a native shamrock. " Th flower-girls at Olengarrlfe and , In deed , all over the emerald land ot legend and beauty , offer the yellow and the'white shamrock for sale at thrlpens a flower , which revenue la possibly ono of the reasons of Ireland's great bank account. But the adventurous and romance-loving traveler will push boldly past 'those ' maidens and pluck his own blcssom from Parnell's grave or Trinity campus , la Dublin garden and park , or at Belfast and Klldare , or It ho Is for tunate enough to bo pedeetrlanlzlug over the Island , there la many a chance for him tn tha old-fashioned Irish gardens , where the wall and old stone gateway are almost aid- den beneath the weight ot red and yellow roses and Ivy. In those gardens there are popples and lllle * growing , and eweet wil- llam , wood sorrel and mint , with pink and white , daisies and dwarf roses showing be- sic ] o the thyme and tansy beds and occa sionally peeping up from the border of corn rows. Every Irl&h home , mansion or hovel hss Its garden , and often a winsome bit ot tthimrock U found here , or hidden amid the purple and white \\ooJbino roots that cover house wall , roof and eaves with their climbing. ORIGIN OP THE EMBLEM. Shamrock ( Gaelic Keamrag ) U the generic name In Irish and Gaelic tor trefoils. White clover seems to bo the popular native Idea of the flower , &ud , as Ireland's national , heraldic emblem , ranks equally In hljlory with England's rose or Scotland's thistle. It la often confounded with the yellow clover , but the spiral form ot the pods Is a dis tinguishing feature , and like the wood sorrel or bird's foot trefoil , It la a plant with threa leaflets. Wood aorrel In Italian Is called "Alleluia. " and many of the Italian painters from Fra Angcllco down placed the plant and Its flower lu the foreground of their crucifixion pictures. The purple hued blossoms were supposed to have tiken their color from the blood ot Christ , an Idea which was perhaps a variation of some earlier myth. The Welsh call these lovely white , purple- veined flowers "fairy bells" and believe that the elves ring them for moonlight dance and revelry. Yellow trefoil ( trlfollum tnlnus ) U the plant sold mostly In Dublin on St. Patrick's day. Old women and flower girls cry out , "Buy my shamrocks , buy my shamrocks ! " and all little children bavo "Patrick's crossem" pinned to their sleeves. The com mon white clover ( trifollum repece ) Is oftcnest called the Irish shamrock. The oxalla sharca with it the credit , however , cad exotic specimens have white , yellow , rote-colored , crimson and variegated flowers. In India the trefoil contracts when touched , like the sensitive plant tn Peru , It U culti vated for it * acid st&ma and tubers , which , boiled , are used m food. The Mexican variety U stemleas and four-leaved , with ihowy red flower * , and the root It cooked end dressed wltb wttte e uce , like salsify. The oxtlto IM a native of Ireland , wblle the clover 1s a comparatively recent Introduc tion. TYPICAL OP THE3 TRINITY. According to legend , St. Patrick , white teaching the doctrine of the Trinity to the Pagan Irish , used this plant with Ita three leaves upon one stem to Illustrate the great mystery and It was thereafter 'worn as a badge and finally adopted as an emblem. Today the small , white clover Is universally worn In the- hat all over Ireland on March 17. It Is a singular circumstance , If nothing more , that tfao trefoil In Arabic Is called shammK-b and waa held sacred In Iran as symbolical ot the Persian Triads. Pliny lu his natural history alw asserts that ser pents are never seen upon trefoil , and It is considered potent against the stings ot etiakes and scorpions. Considering St. Patrick's connection with snakes , this Is somewhat remarkable , and It may reasonably bo assumed that previous to his arrival the Irish had Invested the shamrock or trefoil with certain virtues and Imagined that eome strange suitableness < ln the already eacred plant" shadowed forth the newly revealed and mysterious doctrine of the Trinity. This "wearing of the green" by "all those whose hearts are true" commemorates the. landing ot St. Patrick near Wlcklow In the beginning of the fourth century of the Chris tian era. The event Is a favorite Inspiration to all Irish bards : Brave sons of Hibernla , your shamrocks display. A plant of that soil which no venom-can taint. With shamrocks and myrtle let's garnish the bowl. May our shamrocks continue to flourish and prove * An emblem of charity , friendship and love. These are all familiar lines , and bear out the symbolical signification of both clover and shamrock , which Is : "I promise. " ESTEEMED IBY THE DUUIDS. The Irish Druids held the shamrock In great repute and believed It to be a charm against witchcraft , and the ancients portrayed Hope as a little child on tip-too with one ot these flowers In his hand. From the earliest times this plant has bean connected with heroes of antiquity , mythological Rods , and later with saints of the church. The Germans long regarded the clover as sacred , and the ancient Greeks used it profusely in their'festivals. A leaf ot tour-leaved clover lu 'Hhfe "middle ages pre supposed success at l > lay and detection ot evil spirits ; under a lover's pillow It brought dreams ot the beloved , or , dropped In a person's shoe , It assured a safe return from a journey. It was also'said to have cured disease and lunacy. The Irish still regard the shamrock as magical.and , believe that If the dew upon It bo drunl : of a morning be fore the sun Is up U wlllc1nsure one's happi ness all day. Often a aprjg Is stuck over the doorway "to keep Old iS'lclc anay o' nights. " It has had a bearlnj * oh heraldry , as well as on popular belief , and though it Is a much disputed point as to whether the clover or the wood-sorrel Is the'genuine shamrock ot Bt. Patrick , It Is the1 clover which Is the "clubs" of the pack of cards , the same figure being called trefle In Trance. Shakespeare does not mention tho1 Word shamrock , but he refers to the cattle's relish of clover In "I will enchant the old Andronlcus With words rnoro sweet and yet more dangerous Than honey stalks to sheep. " In Rusila , Bohemia and the Tyrol the sam& superstition centers about the fern and Its seels , that In Ireland and Germany clusters about the shamrock and clover. A recent gown ot royalty , worn upon March 17 , was of green velvet over a petticoat ot fine irlJh lace , fastened and looped with bunches of shamrock leaves. In all Ireland perhaps the most poetical place to seek the shamrock la romantic Kll- larney at twilight , near the exquisite lovell- cess of the abbey ruins , with tha odor of roses and fresh meadows on the air. A' little later the full Irish moon and palo stars will hang reflected In the lake , the heavily follaged talanOa and moii-corerei trees mass grave and somber In the gloom and over the crumbling tower and trellis and tomb the moon's rays play on the downy grass and mouldering grave-stones , while primeval water , forest and sky seem to thrust forth their eternal presence , and memories of ancient Incense and prayers , at grey-locked myths and dim legends the Infinite sweet melancholy that pervades all things In the caressing darkness , accompany the searching.

' 'A Now Yorker who has known Captain Slgsbeo of the blown-up battleship Maine for more than twenty years , said to a New York Press reporter : "I first met Captain Slgsbee when be was commander ot the Blake , then In the coaat survey service oft the coast ot Florida , and I was enjoying a vacation at Tampa. At Irregular Intervals the Blake would put Infer for supplies of coal , remaining In port sev eral days at a stretch. At such times ho used to occupy a room lust across the corri dor from mlno at the hotel and we thus bad an opportunity to become well acquainted. He waa then under middle age , rather abort , dark aod with mapping black eyes. His talk and manner were decidedly engaging , his love ot fun was pronounced and his fond ness for aborting and fishing became proverb ial. ial.One One Jay. eocn after we first met , be asked me to go shootlag with him. I agrecdc , but a difficulty at once presented Itself In the fact that neither of us owned a gun. We got over that , however , by borrowing ono from the landlord of the hotel an old- fashioned , double-barreled muzzle-loading shotgun which , ho said , wo were entirely welcome to use , though , he added , It might bo that we would flnd It In too bad repair to bo available. Slgsbee said ho could util ize an > thing In the shooting-Iron line that bad barrels , but I must coc.'cfs that I had my doubts na to the outcome when I ex amined the piece. "In sorao way the little tubes , called 'nipples , ' on which the caps were placed on the old-fashioned shotguns , had been broken oft In this case , and for the life ot meI couldn't see how Slgsbeo propound to got over the difficulty. H turned out to bo sim ple enough for Slgsbeo. " 'I can shoot with tliLi all right , ' ho said , 'by using It as a matchlock piece , If you will liolp me. ' "So each time , after loading It , wo filled the boles where the nipple tubes had been with a few grains of powder , an operation that tn the days before percussion caps and cartridges was alwajs neccesary , "Whenever the captain succeeded la drawIng - Ing a bead en a piece ot game It was my part to advance and eet fire to the priming of the powder in the tube , rather a delicate operation , by the way , and one that would have spoiled the aim of about every sports man I have ever seen , except Slgsbee. "But It seemed not to fczo him la tha slightest degree and although ho did not alwas kill , the hits of the day were more numerous than the mlsacs by a big ma jority. "Tho way Captain Slgsbeo maintained hla steadln.Yn of hand In holding his aim long enough for me to touch off the priming waa a sight for gods and men , but In the nature of things rapid firing waa out of the ques tion and there were novlng shots. llent Them all.
