It may be that the recent adjustment
of the land lawi or Dome other softening
Influence Is at work, but the Bt. Patrick
day celebration of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians did not overtax the capacity
of Washington hall. There was a very
representative feathering of the sons and
daughters of the sod, nnd green neckties
and magnified shamrocks were the out
ward and visible sign of the most tenacious
patriotism that the world has so fsr pro
duced. The green flag of the ancient and
honorsble order, .with Its American shield
and Irish harp at the center of the field,
hung down from above the stage. At each
side the red, white and blue was unfurled
and at the back of the stage hung another
emblem of the order. There were tufts
of green plumes and flowers and palms
of the patriotio color. The memory of old
Ireland springs green forever In the pa
triotic breast.
M- P. O'Connor was chairman of the
demonstration and made a brief opening
address. He said he feared many of those
present had the Bt. Patrick's day habit
that Is, they thought of Ireland once a
year. He held up to his hearers the record
of the order and pointed out how It sent
out a strong current of Qaelio Ideals, how
It aided the nationalist movement and the
upbuilding of Irish Industries. He held
that good Hibernians are good Americans,
and that the Idealism of the Gael Is the
best gift which the complete American
citizenship has received.
BInalc and Bong,
A musical program followed, in which
"Kathleen Mauvourneen" occurred fre
quently, to be greeted with warm applause
each time. John Gentleman and the Misses
Gentlemen played Irish airs on two violins
and the piano. W. J. Leary sang some
thing Irish and melodious. Miss Mary
, O'Brien was another of the vocalists and
Miss Mary Neu recited "Fontenoy" In a
way that stirred the heart of the audience
over the deeds of the brave Irish exiles.
John McCreary, Miss Btacla Keyser and
Clint Miller were also on the program for
songs. Everybody was applauded.
T. J. Doyle of Lincoln was the speaker
of the evening and spoke at length very elo
quently on the history of the Irish nation.
' Ireland, he did not hesitate to say, was the
most beautiful land on which the sun, the
moon and the stars had ever shone. In two
.hemispheres he knew there were hearts
filled with love and anxiety for that land.
The history of Ireland for 1700 yours, he
said, its glorious history, crowds tho brain
and tunes the heart. No record of his coun
try's hlBtory need make the cheek of an
Irishman blush, declared Mr. Doyle, a. id In
this particular the history of Ireland he
felt Is exceptional. He pointed out thut
the history had been written by the Eng
lish, who had made every effort to be
smirch that record.
From Pagranlam to Present.
Mr. Doyle then began a course of Irish
history, bringing the nation from Its early
state of civilized paganism to the pres
ent, recounting Its virtues of learning and
devotion. When left to Itself, and the perse
cution of which it had been the object at
the hands of the Danes, the. Normans and
the English. He retold the conversion of
the race by 8L Patrick, the conversion of
the Whofe country almost In an Instant by
a. single man. He drew a glowing picture
of Ireland as the center of Christian civil
isation for the 300 years of peace preced
ing the Invasion of the Danes. Throughout
lilxtory to the' present time he had no
trouble In finding abundance of noble traits
to set forth for the gratification of his Irish
audience.
The ceremonies of the evening ended with
the singing of "God Save Ireland," led by
Messrs. J. C. Swift and F. J. Keene. T. F.

orderi'J.'P. Savage. Is vloe Dresident: Peter

LIFE'S TROUBLES TOO MANY
leter Frets' Tries to End Then by
. ratting HI Throat with '
Torket Knife.
Trter Froide, a man about 4S years old,
attempted to commit suicide yesterday aft
ernoon in a rooming house at 719'4 North
Sixteenth street, at I 30 o'clock, by sutting
his throat with a pocketknlfe.
It is thought that Froide became despond
ent because he was sick and out of work
and his money had run out, and thought
that It would be better for him to end his
troubles in this world and take his chances
with the hereafter.
Froide ran away from the county hospital
early In March, where he had been taken
January T from the county Jail by .Dr. Lee.
For the past ten days he had been room
ing on Sixteenth street, where It has been
his custom to get up at 6 o'clock In the
morning and return about 8:30 In the morn
ing, always quite Intoxicated. He would
then go to his room and sleep until late
In the afternoon. He did the same thing
yesterday morning nnd when the man went
to make the beds he was not up, so he be
gan pounding on (he door, which attracted
several other roomers to the scene. The
pounding brought no results.
Upon looking through the 'keyhole they
saw Froide sitting on the edge of his cot.
They then called to him and told him to
open the door. He got up, unlocked the
woor and walked past all those round the
door to s sink and took a drink. As he had
a large handkerchief tied around his neck
they did not notice the large wound In his
throat as he passed them. Upon entering
the room they found a large pool of blood
on the floor at the side of the bed where
he had been sitting. Thinking he had
fallen and hurt himself they brought him
back to the room and, taking away the
cloth around his neck the gaping wound
was disclosed. The police were at once no
tified and Police Surgeon Wlgton hurried
to the place and at once had the man re
moved to Clarkson hospital, where he was
attended by Dr. Summers, who Inserted a
tube Into the windpipe and dressed the
wound.
The wound was a large one and very
Jagged as the knife used was dull. It was
also evident that Froide had slashed him
self four or five times, making the wound
irregular. The larynx was divided and the
epiglottis was completely severed from the
windpipe.
AT UNITY'S ANNUAL DINNER
Women's Alliance Again Treats Men
of the Church to Pleasant
Spread.
Three . flower-decked tables In Unity
church last night, with their snowy linen
and shining ware were a very pleasant
sight for tho men of the church when they
were brought Into the dining place at tho
Invitation of the Women's Alliance. The
women of Unity church have given annual
dinners to the men of the congregation for
eight years now and each time It has been
said that the dinner of that time Is better
than any of the preceding dinners. Two
hundred members and friends of Unity
church sat down at the long tables at 0
o'clock and the pleasant party did not
break up until 10 o'clock.
Rev. Newton Mann, minister of the
church, was toastmaster and Introduced
each of the entertainers with a fitting pre
luao or an anecdote. Mr. Stewart was
the first one on the program and sang
pleasingly. He was followed by Miss Steb
bins who answered to the toast, "School
ma'am and Minister." Mr. Barker favored
the diners with a violin solo, which was
warmly applauded, and then Mrs. Mathe-
son came on for "Mrs. Casey's Telephone.
She pleased everyone 'by her humorous
work. Mrs. Nott responded to the toast,
"Little Things," and Mr. Wilbur and Mrs.
Edwards sang a pretty duet. Rev. J. L.
Marsh of Lincoln was a guest and favored
those present with a neat speech. The
last toast, "The Ideal Unitarian," was
given by Mr. Brome and the program
closed with a vocal solo by Mr.' Stewart.
CELEBRATION AT EAST OMAHA
Opening of the Bridge to Be Hade Most
floUble Occasion.
OMAHA AND ILLINOIS CENTRAL WILL REJOICE
Formal Dedication of the Great
Structure to It Parpose 'Will
' Glre President Fish sa4
Other Chairs,
It begins to look as though Omaha was
to have a really swell railroad Mm Satur
day. It begins to be generally understood
that the Illinois Central bridge in East
Omaha will not be the only thing formally
opened. Testerday the builders of the
bridge were busy doing the final tidying up
of the great structure for Its formal In
spection by the president of the road. A
msn has been busy with a broom and dust
cloth for two days in cleaning up the new
double draw, and President John R. Web
ster of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
compony got worried for fear the man
would not get the work done properly and
sent out a capable scrub woman to help him
through. Ore thing Is certain, the bridge
will be ready for ths officers of the road
and for the business men of Omaha when
they go out this afternoon to inspect It.
Special Train for Omaha.
The most important part of the
ceremonial after President Fish will be the
special train to convey the Omaha busi
ness men to the bridge. The train has
been tested and found to work all right
so that those who go down to the Union
station at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon
may rest assured that the cars will move
out Just as they are expected to do. Fif
teen mlnntes Is believed to be necessary
for the distance between the Union station
and the new bridge, and about the same
time for the return. The cars will b
brought back here before 6 o'clock, but
there will be ample time to lcok at the
beautiful new steel draw bridge. All busi
ness men of Omaha must be present or
hand in a good excuse to Commissioner
McVann of the Commercial" club. A cir
cular Invitation has been sent out.
Coming with Fish.
On the staff of President Fish at this
great occasion will be J. A. L. Waddell,
the engineer who built the bridge; J. T
Harahan, second vice president of the
road; I. W. Rawn, general manager, and
J. M, Dickinson, general counsel .of .the
company.
The bridge is by no means the only
wonder that will be Inspected during the
day. A large and pompous dinner will be
Inspected at the Commercial club in the
evening, beginning at 6:30 o'clock. The
formal Itinerary for this dinner Is to be
as follows: Tonstmaster, General Man-
derson; "The Occasion," Stuyvesant Fish;
"Omaha's Appreciation," Isaac W. Car
penter; "The Missouri Valley and Its Rail
roads," Charles A. Dickson; "Some Facts
About the Bridge," J. A. I Waddell; "A
Voice from Across the River," Victor E
Bender; "The History of the Bridge,"
John R. Webster; "Shifting Boundaries,"
J. M. Dickinson.
The applications for places at the dinner
have been coming In very satisfactorily
and it was said at the club that only
twenty more placea remain to be filled,
A noon luncheon for President Fish and
his companions has been arranged at the
Council Bluffs Commercial club. From
Omaha F. W. Judson, J. F. Carpenter, E.
V. Lewis and E. J. McVann have been
Invited to attend. In the evening Council
Bluffs will send a delegation to the Omaha
dinner consisting of H. H. Van Brunt, H,
W. Bender, W.B. Reed, F. R. Davis, C
W. McDonald, H. A. Qulnn and Emmet
Tlhley.
Sue for Alimony Allowance.
Elizabeth C. Rundell is seeking by means
of a suit In district court to compel Augus
tus D. Williams, Jr., to pay f'i per week
toward the support of a minor child. The
parties were formerly husband and wife,
but were divorced In Chicago In 1899, when
the mother was given the custody of the
one child and the father waa ordered to
fay 12 per week for Its support. It is si
eged that he has failed to do this for some
time past. Plaintiff Is now the wife of an
other man.

Presbyterians Dine and Talk.
A supper was given last evening at the
First Presbyterian church which was at
tended by members of the different par
ishes of Omaha. Ths supper was given In
order that the laymen of the church might
have an opportunity to listen to Mr. David
Conaughty of New York City and get his
views on the new forward movement In
missionaries. The Idea Is that every church
shall maintain some pa.mcuiar parisn ana
shall be responsible for that parish. Dr.

Elks' SIM at ths Orphenm.
Lodge 631, Benevolent Protective Order

of the Orpheum Friday night. The wearers
of the antlers came over from Council
Bluffs to py Manager Relter a compli
mentary visit, and they mads It one of the
social events of the season at the popular
vaudeville house. The theater was appro
priately decorated for the occasion, the
boxes being draped In Old Glory. For the
curtain raising the house waa darkened
and the orchestra played the Elks' favorite
ode, "Auld Lang Byne," while at the same
moment a switch was turned on a large
shield in the center of the stage, which
wrought In divers colored Incandescent
lights bore the Inscription, "Welcome, B.
P. O. E., No. 631." The effect was de
cidedly pretty and enthused the audience
to the spirit of the occasion. Manager Rel
ter was called upon and In bis . most
gracious manner extended his visitors a
fraternal welcome and entertained them
with a number of his latest and choicest
stories and sprung, to the surprise of his
numerous admirers, a pathetic recitation
that proved as Interesting as did his face
tious remarks, laugh provoking, and the
combination was the hit of the evening.
Every performer on , the program con
tributed their best and were tendered an
ovation. A timely coincident was the fact
that every male artist on the bill had ma
triculated Into Elkdom and are members
in high standing.
ON MUNICIPAL HOUSEKEEPING
City Engineer Rosewater Addresses
the Omaha View Improvement
Club on Live Topics.
1 y
The Omaha- View Improvement club Is
in the field for Information and business.
and it manages to have one or more of
the city officials at each of Its meetings
and thereby enjoys a symposium of munlc
lpal Information each night whereby the
club is laying up a store of useful know
edge that may be drawn upon when the
busy season commences.
Last night the club secured the services
of City Engineer Rosewater for an ad
dress on municipal affairs. He urged uni
formity In city improvements and concerted
action to get needed Improvements. He
gave an Interesting history of the early
municipal improvement days, and particu
larly of the troubles, he, as city engineer,
had to contend with In overcoming preju
dice and obstinacy in the matter of needed
sewer construction, grading, etc., and of
the obstacles put in his way politically and
otherwise In an earnest endeavor to se
cure the best results in the matter of
public utilities. This political Interference
Invaded every department of municipal
work. He then gave a short history of
the franchise corporations and told of the
amount the city Is paying now for arc
lights per light per year, and the eagerness
with which the electric light company is
now seeking to have the council grant It
a franchise for three years under the prom
I fe of furnishing the arc lights for some
$25 less than It is now receiving from the
city for these lights. He said that the
company made no promises of concessions
In the matter of the reduction in the price
of lights in private houses.
Mr. Rosewater went into the water ques
tlon at length, and referred to the little
Jokers Inserted In the water" works purchase
bill that looked very Innocent on their
face, but which meant a great deal for
the water company when carefully an
alysed. . ".!?,.:!'
"What we need here at home," said Mr.
Rosewater, "Is a strong microscope to look
into our municipal shortcomings rather
then a long-range telescope to Investigate
the affairs of distant communities." "
A vote of thanks was extended Mr.
Rosewater 'for his address, and after he
bad concluded he was plied with numerous
queries relative to the prospect for side'
walk, street grades and other needed Im
provements in that section, and the most
effective methods of obtaining them.

Cuba.
Senator Millard has received Information
from Washington that Max Baehr, United

FLEES FROM THOUGHT OF FARM
University Student Disappears and Is
Thought to Be la Machine
Shop.
In order to avoid a spring and summer
on the farm at work for which he has no
taste and to get a start in the occupation
he likes best of all C, B. Carpenter, a stu
dent in the agricultural school of the State
university at Lincoln, has run away from
School and has presumably gone to work
In some machine shop.
Carpenter's parents at Crelghton, Neb.,
have not heard from him for ten days. He
was taking a course in sgriculture at the
university and they expected him home to
htp on the farm at the end of the term.
They were much surprised last week to
learn that the boy had left school.
Prof. Davlsson of the university was in
Omaha Friday looking for Carpenter. He
said that Carpenter is an enthusiast on
the subject of machinery and is no doubt
at this very time working in a machine
shop. His parents entertain no fears In
regard to his safety, but they are anxious
to know where he is. Front remarks which
they have heard him drop concerning
Omaha they think he has come to thin

cinnati and demands a preliminary In
vestigation there. Consequently witnesses
will have to be sent from Omaha to Cin
cinnati in order to make a case against
Bass.
Maurice Bass, It Is alleged, is tha indi
vidual who secured consignments of dreas
goods, clothing, etc., from guileless whole
salers and jobbers and had them directed
to a blind location on South Thirteenth
street, outside the express delivery dis
tricts, and would then go and gather the
truck together and resliip It or sell It,
overlooking the little formality of set
tling with the parties from whom he or
dered the goods. He used the letterheads
of a reputable Omaha firm to carry out
his schemes, and did a land office business.
He finally disappeared, going to Chicago,
and was tracked from there to Cincinnati,
where he was arrested several days sgo.
As stated, Bass refuses to waive a pre
liminary examination and Insists on a hear
ing, which has been set for March 24 be
fore the United States commissioner st
Cincinnati. In view of this phase of the
case, a number of Omaha parties will have
to go to Cincinnati to appear against "Bass.
The total amount of his swindles la this
section will reach over $7, COO.
