ONE SPEAKER ASKS CONSERVATIVE ACTION Saya Australia la Already Fetltlealaa; Klaar for C Irairsry and It la Better to" Await Heaalt Be fore Breaklas; Alienor. NEW YORK. Jan. 25. At a meeting of delegatea of tho United Irish-American Societies of New York, presided over by Daniel F. Colahan tonight, resolutions were adopted denouncing the trial and death sen tence of Colonel Arthur Lynch aa a trav esty on Justice. The resolution says In part: We desire to express our belief that the British government will not dare to carry out the sentence imposed upon Colonel Lynch, and alxo to point out that the ac tion of an Kngllwh court In finding h man who had become In due form a naturalised cltlxen of another country guilty of treason- to England, In unjuxt, unfair and a gross ylnlntion of all the conditions under whlfh millions of citizens had been added to the population of this country. At this time, when Kiiftlsnd for Its own aelnh purposes U attempting to conceal Its enmity to America under the guise of friendship In order the more thorouKhly to avail Itself of our strength and power, It endeavors to set said one of the cardinal principles of otir Institutions and to take from tis one of the greatext sources of our strength. We denounce Its action as cowardly, brutal and tyrannical and predict that It will only serve to call the attention of the World to the fact that as you cannot change the spots of the leopard, so you ennot make the Kngllsh government anything but stupid, bloodthirsty, cowardly and cruel. National Societies Conservative. A conference of representatives of the national Irish societies was also held to consider the question ot taking concerted action on behalf of Colonel Lynch. About fifty delegates were present when R. J. Kennedy, president ot the United Irish league called the meeting to order. Thomas H. Romayne, addressing the mealing, said: I advocate a policy of silence an fnl aa tho American Irish are concerned. Twenty million Irish must have a heavy Influence In Kngland In case they movo conservatively. Therefore 1 think It best to await I nst rjct ions from Ireland, and especially from Australia, where Colonel Lynch was horn, and where, of course, a deep feeling In his behalf must exist. I'nless I am misinformed a telegram was received In this city today from an Aus tralian gentleman, saying that steps have lieen taken there to Invoke the clemency of the king In Mr. Lynch's behalf. Mr. Romayne advocated tbe appointment of a committee of nine lj bring together the tepresentatlves of the society and to act as a general committee for the Irish men of the city In behalf of Colonol Lynch. The committee was Immediately organ ised and decided to call a general con ference this week. NEW SYSTEM 'IS NECESSARY (Continued from First Page.) tbe Indians, can exert a strong Influence for good. Under the government's present enlightened policy ot leading the Indian from an Indolent life to one of self-support and self-respect, the plan of breaking up the reservation system and locating schools at convenient points in charge ot superintend ents of high character, will undoubtedly produce good results.

OREGON WATERS STILL RISE Moantaln Sqowa Melted by Rain Help to Swell the Floodlagr Rivers. PORTLAND, On., Jan. 25. The heavy rains of the past forty-eight hours have enured the anow In the Cascade and coast range mountains to melt rapidly, and all the streams flowing into the WllKametto river bavo become torrents- Advices from tbe upper river today show that the Wllllamette is higher than ever before recorded, and much damage bas been done to farms along the river bottoms. Many booms ot logs have broken away and several million feet of saw logs set adrift. On account of the high water it became necessary today to close the locks at Ore gon City to navigation. The river at thla city rose three feet during last night, and tonight stands fifteen feet above low water. The weather bureau predlcta a further rise on account ot the large volume of water in the upper river, though so serious damage has resulted along the water front. No through trains arrived over the South ern Pacific today on account ot tbe wash out between Harrlsburg and Junction City. The road Is now dear south of Eugene and through trains from California are ex pected about noon tomorrow. At Eugene., ore., tne wiuiametie river registered twenty-three fact above low water mark, the highest mark ot which there la no record, but the water is now falling. Yards and farms along the river bottoms have suffered heavily and the loss of stock will amount to thousands of dol lars. Froirn fironad Holds Klooda. BAKER CITY, Ore., Jan. 25.

AT THE PLAYHOUSES "Ole Olaoa" at the' Iloyd. Ben Hendricks haa been coining to Omaha for tho laat thirteen years with his "Ole Olson" makeup and dialect, but the size of the house he drew at fie Boyd lsst night would seem to Indicate that the play and the player have lost none of their charm for the people. Ole Olson la an humble hero, but nonetheless a pleasing one. snd the people apparently like to watch his strugtje with the Eng lish language, a loving cook-lady and a bunch of villains at th same time. He overcomes the latter, circumvents the sec ond, and gives up the first as a task too great for his tongue, which has been thick ened by a descent from vikings who didn't wsste time tslklng. Ole is saalsted along the way by a number of persons who have things to do with the working out of the plot of the play. Several of these show much cleverness, and all work together with a harmony that makes the play move smoorbly. One of the Interpolate. 1 fea tures Is the Swedish Ladles' quartet, the members having well trained voices which chime melodiously in the folk-songs and English numbers rendered. Thla waa an especially delightful part of the perform ance last night. "Ole Olson" will be re peated thla evening. Vaudeville at the I relahton-Orpheaat. Two large audiences passed a verdict of approval ou the bill at the Crelghton Orpheum yesterday. No one of tbe acts stands out with any startling prominence above the level of excellence set for this house during tbe present season, but all are so near the mark that It would not be overstating the truth to aay that the bill Is the best balanced that has been given yet. Cole and Johnson are In many ways entitled to the honors. They are Imbued with the true artistic spirit, and 'are musicians of more than ordinary ability, being possessed of carefully cultivated voices and having extensive knowledgo of the piano, the only Instrument they use. Their songs are mostly of their own com position, and are sung with good, taste. And be It to their credit said they refuse to sing "coon" soi.gs. Miss Dorothy Wal ters whlstleB most tunefully, some of her numbers being extremely difficult, and Jamea H. Cullen sings a bunch ot his own parodies on popular songs in a way that la his own. Olivette Is a clever Juggler, do.'B some mystifying work In the way of palm ing cards and coins, spins tambourines In a way never seen here before and doca aome exceedingly clever shadowgraph work. Purcell and Maynard do a pleasing sketch and the Columbian trio also make good In Its act. Some new and popular pictures are shown bv the klnodrome. MISHAPS COME IN SHOALS Vessel Takes EIThty-lx Daya lie. tnreen Nome and Port Townaend. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Jan. 25. The steamer Dawson City, elghty-elx days from Nome, reached port today, under sail, after a tempestuous voyage. The entire trip waa marked by a succes sion of accidents. 8oon after starting -south tbe boilers commenced leaking, with the result that the fresh water supply waa consumed. Then fuel ran short and the vessel was forced to resort to such canvaa as could be fashioned Into sails. It put into Port Moller tor fuel and water and after remaining two weeks started again, only to run into fierce etorma, which drove It from Its course. Again fuel ran out, so Dawson City headed for'' Dutch Harbor to refill bunkers and tank si At this port the sailors deserted and refused to con tinue tne voyage. The run from Dutch Harbor to thla port was made in twenty two days, which Is considered a very good allowing considering the weather and tbo facilities for handling the vessel. Dawson City brought no passengers except Ha owner, Felix Brown ot Seattle, and bis wife. BONI IS AGAIN ELECTED Voters Decide to Tarn Down Chamber and Bend Coast Back to Paris. PARIS, Jan. 25. Tbe election of a deputy tn the Baasos-Alps district, rendered neces sary by the invalidation of Count Bonl de Castellane'a election by the Chamber of Deputies, took place today.

No one is anxious to get more than their share, yet a few people still buy soda crackers in bags. Crackers sold from a can or barrel are likely to collect dust and other things in the cleanest of grocer ies. The store must be swept; boxes and barrels moved and the cracker box uncovered now and then for a thoughtless buyer. If you don't want to eat a peck of dirt buy Unoeda Biscuit in the airtight, dust-proof, moisture proof In-er-seal Package with red and white seal. Baked and packed in perfect cleanliness they reach you in the same condition.- Whether bought at the general store in the country or at the great city grocery, they are equally fresh, and good, and wholesome.

The central body will have charge of the label and shall say which unions shall use it. There has been aome doubt as to whether the International Typographical union would consent to an equal representation for the reason that It has a much larger membership than any ot the others. A delegate of the independent photo graph fngravers' union said there would be no trouble about reaching an agreement with the printers and the contending branches of his union would both come into one organisation.

Every reader of Dumas knows the Cha teau d'lf. which is referred to In the first part of "Monte Cristo." Of course, Ed cnond Dantet and(hts friend, tbe Abbe, are purely imaginary cbaractera, aaya the New York Tribune, but Dumas' descriptive powers breathed such life Into them that many visitors to the Chateau d'lf' ask to sea the cells where the heroea of the novel were Incarcerated. It la reported that the keeper of the castle made a very profitable income by pointing those cells The Proverbial "Peck" NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY out, and It ia also related that Dumas himself, on a vielt to If, greatly enjoyed the Joke. The chateau Is to bo sold by order ot the Ministry of War, and the sale waa to have been conducted at Mar seilles' Town ball recently. It having been reported, however, that the building was to be restored and converted Into a gambling palace, the local authorities took larm and conferred with the military au thorities. The result la that the sale has been postponed, and it ia probable that when the property is again offered to the public a clause wtll be inserted in the conditions ot sale to the effect that the chateau shall not bo converted Into a gambling establishment. PEOPLE WHO ARE LEFT-EYED They t'ae One Optle More Coatlnaoualy Than the Other Keroe of Habit.

"Wbnt do you mean by left-eyed passen gers T" asked his companion.. ' "People who use their left eye more than their right." was the reply. "The species Is not common and, of course, none but a stu dent In ocujar science would be able to de tect offhand I ho few whom wo do meet. A left-handed person advertises his peculiar ity at once; not so the left-eyed man. As a rule It takes an oculist to determine which eye bas been used most, but there are cer tain aeeullarltltles of the pupil and lid that may be taken as pretty sure signs by the trained observer. "Left-eyed people are made, not born. Most of us have been blessed by nature with eyes ot equal visual power, but the attitude we strike reading or writing causes us to ex ercise ona eye more than the other and the first thing we know we are right or left eyed. This Is a one-sldedness that should always be taken Into consideration when buying glasses. A right-eyed man with left eyed spectacles, or vice versa.
