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. "

SPANISH NAMT3S.
AH lAntliorltr Explain * Their Proper
I'ruiiiiiiclntloii.
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. "
Prof. Roger gives the correct pronuncia
tion of a number ot the names which have

National Emblem

"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.

How Ife Dlil Execution , with a Match
lock In the Florlila 'Woodx. '
'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.

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.
