Miss Gonno was bom at Kerry In 1SCC and
Miucntcd In Dublin. Her father was an Irish
landlord and an olllcer In the British army.
Though tho tastes and sympathies of her
parents wero decidedly English the dnughter
has sacrificed everything In tho devotion of
her llfo nnd fortune, to tho betterment of the
Innd of her birth, the misfortunes of which
linvo ever appealed to her with Irresistible
fervor. Her enthusiasm has In a measure
io nllenatcd her from tho sympathies nnd
iurroundlngs of her youth that she has ma-16
her homo much In France and Oermnny,
whore she can pursuo with unrestrained en
thuslnsm hor efforts ln behalf of Ireland.
She Is a beautiful young woman of the
true Irish type. Her eyes nro particularly
full of eloquent oxptesslon. especially when
her thoughts nre upon her llfo work. Her
magnetism swnvs her audience In thorough
harmony ivlth her eloquence as she pleads
for1 tho country and tho people whom she so
manifestly loves.
An Interview ttllli Minn limine.
"I have been much surprised," hnld Miss
Oonne, "to II ml tho universality of Ameri
can sentiment In favor of tho Iiocrs. Of
courso 1 knew that our peoplo our here
wero ln actlvn sympathy, but I was not
prepnred for tho general and generous sym
pathy for tho South African republics on
tho part of tho entire American public. It
ls to be regretted that Mjo circulation ot
news between American and Europe coun
tries Is controlled by English agencies. My
meetings havo boon uniformly successful,
largely nttended and fruitful of Intended ro
vults. "Tho funds raised are not sent to South
e
Afrlr. The sending Of money thither would
be hut carrying coals to Newcastle. With
their rich mines and other resources' they
are not so much In need of money. What
they most need Is men to nld them In thdr
btttles. Next In Importance to sending
them such assistance Is the weakening of
their cnomy. Our chief work now Is In
preventing the recruiting of the English
army, nnd In Ireland wo havo been doing
this most successfully. Ten years ago tho
number of Irishmen In the English urmv
was 30.000. Sit: vears aito the number had
been reduced to 25,000. This was not all.
of course, duo to our efforts, but partly to
the depopulation of Ireland. Wo have been
carrying on this work for about three years,
nnd today there Is Ilttlo recruiting done
among Irishmen. It Is tru. that a recruit-
ing oillter is kept In each town In Ireland
hn goes about trying to get Irishmen
drunk so that they can get thorn Into the
army, but
their efforts are closely watched
and counteracted.
"The pro-lloer feeling In Ireland Is In
tense. The Hag of the Transvaal Is openly
displayed at public meetings and the union
Jack Is burned with Impunity. English sol
diers nre herded closely In their garrisons
and their movements aro conducted nround
rather than thfough the .dtlw to prevent
their being Insulted. Tho same condition
prevails In France. An Engllnhtnan Is over
In Imminent danger of Innull in tho streets
In France, although the government there,
as here, docs not reflect tho popular feeling.
"My program comprises thirteen mectlngH
In America, consuming a month of my time.
Tho ono In th's city will be my ninth. I
must Icavo on my return to England on the
8lh nf March. Oh. yes, I go direct to Eng-
land. I see that tho papers over theto havo
been demanding my arrest on account of my
null-recruiting work, and 1 am wondering
whether or not they will dare arrest me. I
am satlRfled that It will do them more harm
than good.
"I am glad to seo from expressions In Par-
llnment that they aro ha Ing great dimculty
In raL-Ing men for South Africa. My efforts
havo been directed by a doalrc to force them
Into conscription. I know that tlie peoplo of
England will not stand that. The English
peoplo aro not a military peoplo. English-
men do not make good fighting material. All
or ineir great battles liavo been wugnc ami
won by Irishmen ami Scotchmen, the Eng-
llsh soldier being found in the rear. 1 Know
the English iieople would rebel against gov-
eminent conscription, nmi uiai is wny 1 w.un
to see tho government rorccd into It.

Relative to business In Omaha, Mr. Graves
In addressing tho commission stated that tho
Missouri P.icifh maintained a rate of $1.01
per ton on coal from tho Rich Hilt mines
as ngalnst a rate of $1.42 on coal from My
rlck, despite the fact of tho latter point being
. the nearer,
from Myrlck and Rich Hill by stating thnt
they were entirely different In quality, and
for this reason not competitive. He stated
that tho Myrlck coal Is purely n domestic
coal, whllo the product from Rich Hill Is a
8tium coal.
George W. Grlbben Btated that ho had
been unable to purchase coal from tho My

pany, consigned to South Omaha, full tariff

City Attorney Connell says that his advico
to tho building Inspector relative, to the
property of Michael Mullen. Sixteenth and
Davenport ulreets, docs not proclaim him as
a champion of the music hall keeper's cause.
Mr. Connell says tho only consideration with
him is tho best Interest of tho city, which
he does not think wilt bo Jeopardized by a
few weeks' delay. The part of wisdom, In
Mr. Council's opinion, Is to secure an order
from court authorizing the demolition of the
building. This ho believes will be granted
without hesitation, an the permit Issued tn
Mullen has plainly expired. If action were
taken without the court's order, Mr. Connell
points out, the city would probably bo sub
ject to litigation which might end In a
Judgment for damages.
The fact that Mullen has been under fire
because of the ulleged character of his resort
Is nn entirely separate matter, the city at
torney says, from his right to maintain tho
present building on the premises. Wo legal
authority to occupy such a building within
tho flro limits would bo no leas or greater If
It wero used for n school or any other pur
pose. The building Inspector has as yet received
no answer from Mullen in response to tho
notice served on Monday. He will bo guided
by the advico of tho city attorney, however,
and will not attempt to use force. When
the court order Ih obtained, he says, he will
not hesitate to carry out Its provisions. The
building Inspector says ho has reason to bo
llovo that Mullen will soon tear down the
building of his own accord and apply for
permit to erect a permanent structure.

will simply notify parents of tho state law,
which requires each child between the ages
of 8 and 1 1 to attend school for twelve weeks
each year. Tho parents will bo apprised
that tho names of their children appear on
the school census, but not on tho roll ot any
public or parochial school. If the children
aro not sent to school nt once without good
causo being assigned tho parents will be
warned that legal steps will bo taken to
forco them to comply with the law. An op
portunity Is offered on tho return card to
muko excuse, if any exists, for the child's
absence.
While tho shortage In tho school rolls
amounts to about 1,000, Secretary Glllan be
hoves that tho actual transgressions of tho
law aro considerably leas. Slnco tho taking
of tho census last Jimo many parents have
moved. Others havo made private arrange
ments for their children's Instruction. Many
children also nro kept out of school through
physical disability.

Within tho next ten days a trnln of four
