C. J. Bmyth presided at yesterday's meet
ing, while D. J. O'Donshoc acted aa sec
retary. In a circular sent out by the Gaelic
league of Ireland It la stated that the
league recognizes In every Irishman a
brother, regardless of Ills religious or po
llttcal beliefs. The league hopes to raise
from the dust the langjuge, music, games,
traditions. Industries and ancient glory of
Ireland.
Slgnlflcanre of Hyde's Visit.
Dr. Hyde represents one of the most re
markable of tho many movements for the
betterment of the Irish race at home. Tt la
a racial and Intellectual revival, with tho
Irish lanfruage as a basis of union. The es
sence of It is to educate the people and
trust to time and the new "old Irlah" to do
the reat. "Ireland," says Dr. Hyde, "has
ueen a poor imitation couniy 01 me cnguan
nation. It ia a race, a nation, a people of
Ita own and the Gaelic league Is rapidly
forcing a recognition of this fact upon the
people. We are awakening individuality
and self-reliance.
"Wa have witnessed in the last three
years a striking Intellectual revolution. Ire
land la come to be Ireland, and not a poor
Imitation of a county of a nearby state.
Irish la spoken in many homea; it la taught
In more than 3,000 schools; schoolmasters re
ceive premiums for every child who passea
in Gaelle; more than 600,000 books and
Pamphlets were issued by the Gaelic leagua
last year alone, and men and women who
would, without the encouragement we have
given them, have remained Inert all their
Uvea have come to the front and are spend
ing their lives In the revival of our ancient
and beautiful language.
Fashed to the Front.
"We have more than forty recognised
writers In Gaelic now, novelists, play
wrights, philosophers and compilers of text
books. A number of women have come to
'he front lu Gaelic scholarship. - .
"The Gaelic league is only ten years old
and only seven years have we worked out
in the public light," he continued. "We
hava appealed to old Irish people to the
Mo's and the O'a, to the Irish masses who
had nevr been appcnled to since the battle
of the Boyne-und for the first time in 209
years tho old Irish spirit, has been evoko.l
and has become a power in Irish life."
One of the chief alms of the league,' Dr.
Hydo says. Is to check emigration. "Our
people leave our shores because they don't
know our country," he went on: "because
thry have no Interest In the history, the
races, classes and traditions of the country,
but, most of all, becauso there Is no indus
try there to interest them. Through our
work tne Industries have also taken a bltj
leap.
"Not very long ago only those things
bearing a foreign hull mark could be sold
in Irelnnd. That is changed now, and our
people, that Is, all affiliated with the Irish
Gaelic league, buy nothing except what Is
made In Ireland."
Whan the Gaelic league was established
In 1833 It found the Irtish nation really de
generating into a West British province.
The number of schools today In which the
.Irish language la taught la more th.in a.oiK
and the number of children studying Is
over 100.000. It has prevailed upon the
Hoard of Intermediate Education to place
Irish In certain casea upon an equal footing
with other modern languages.
Dr. Hyde's tnularahlt.
Dr. Hyde ia the youngest sun of He v.
Arthur Hyde, a Protestant clergyman. H
la a Gaelic scholar noted for hi learning
and his enthusiasm for the literature and
language of his native laud. He is a mem
he r of one of thosn fine old academic fami
lies, possessed ,of pride In all the honora
ble traditions and Ideals of their race, and.
eager to sava from decay the customs and
language In which they rave t'ound
luesslon. Like Burke, Goldsmith
ex-
and
many other renowned Irish literary men.
Douglas Hyde was educated at Trinity col -
lege, Dublin, where he took the degree of
bachelor of arts, with the first senior mod-
eratorahip and large gold medal. This was
In 184. His college career waa excep
tionally brilliant, and as undergraduate
he won first honors In modern literature,
German, French. Italian and Celtic. In
I8S7 he became LL. D. and later success
fully passed the examination for the de
gree of doctor of divinity, although he has
never been active in religious' orders. From
1 he first he manifested a great Interest in
all pertaining to the old Irish language,
and instead of the usual tour affected by
young men of his position on the continent
of K'jrope, after graduation, he traveled
extensively In his native province, making
a study of the ancient Irish tales, songs
and folklore of Counacht. At this time he
came In close touch with the Irish peas
antry, and was more than ever impressed
by the mystic appeal, emotional color and
wealth of tenderness contained in the lan
guage of tba past. Ilia tour and atujiea

j T THE PLAY HOUSES I
"Twe Han front Helton" at the
Dirwnad.
Albert Morrison In the'rwrt of Benjamin
Fltxhugh, In "The Man from Mexico." has
about everything a comedian could wish
for and he makes a hit one of large pro
portions and well deserved. In the char
aeterlsation he is genuinely funny and the
only time when the humor grows a trifle
monotonous Is where the author ha yleldd
to puns. Mr. Morrison cannot help this. He
acts, moves and talks In a way that la
bound to pull the comers of the mouth up
wards and wrinkle the face In many a gool
beany laugh.
Miss Ing lends her customary charm to
the piny and this charm la one that wears
with exceeding durability. No woman In
the piece has much of a helping to the farce
in It, hut at the time time the presence
and the clever bits of work by Miss Lang,
Miss Davis and Miss Hill greatly enhance
its value. Miss Ward, as the maid, in one
or two very brief situations, displayed ad
mirably her capability for producing laughs.
Mr. Davles Is very good aa the deputy
sheriff. His makeup without a word would
be a good-slxed contribution towards what
the farce Is meant for, but he adds to It
appreciably In numerous ways. Mr. Owen's
part in Majors la one of much work and
few thanks, but he extracta Its limits by
e.iiiBetji n t Inm MrtnpmBnM TIlA same M
true In a less degree of Loveall. aa played j
by Mr. Fulton. Mr. Bchofield gives an en
tlrely new German from that of the week
before and it is a decided success. In a
dual role Mr. Barrett doea two bits of good
character acting Mr. Todd and Mr. Simp
son are caat so ag to lie ornamental rather
than Imperatively necessary, and both
maintain the standard act by the company.
The staging is painstaking and the women
wear a number of new and pretty gowns. A
Spanish dance by Miss Lang in the third
act Is one of the hits. The play will bo
given at the Burwood every evening this
week and at matinees on Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday.
Yaadevllle at the Orphean.
The bill at the Orpheum this week com
prises a rather wide range of amusement
offering. It has musical comedy, legitimate
comedv. nerro foolery, an animal circus
nnd other features, each differing from the
rest, but all working together to make the
bill almost an Ideal whole. The Introduc
tion, of a tabloid musical comedy Is a
novolty, but one that seems to open a wide
range for endeavor ulong the line, it Is

good one and the little comedy is one of go to Argentina or come here for supplies
the most enjoyablo offered at the Orpheum 1 The whole world Is waiting for Argentina
this season. Fierce and Mazie contribute
some songs and some dances that are
greatly enjoyed and add to the effective
ness of their work by their taste In dress.
Tom Ripley has a black face monologue
and aiiigs some parodies that evoke much
laughter. Georgia Lewis sings a "conn"
ong, delivers a "coon" sermon and whistles
most musically. Clayton and Jenkins are
good acrobatio comedians, and with their
mule Joaper give a burlesque circus scene
that ia worth the money. Herbert's dogs

Seen here in many a moon. They Work ap
parently without direction from their mas
ter and do their stunts with such gracA as
to charm the watchers. The especial
novelty of this troupe la the "loop. the
loop" dog, who doesn't need to be urged to
J perform his difficult stunt, but keeps It up
until stopped by Mr. Herbert. A dive by
the clown do is also a feature. ' The kino
drome has good pictures this week.
"I nder Southern Skies" at the Kmc.
Lottie Blair Parker's southern heart Tend
erer, "Cnder Southern Skle," opened a
four-night engagement at the Krug, yester
day. In this piece Mrs. Parker has played
on about all the heart airings, touching
some she overlooked In "Way Down East,"
and a a result It is Jnt that much more
of Interest. It Is skillfully put together,
and la being presenteA-hy a company even
stronger than that which offered it here
last season. Miss Eetelle Sprague, who is
leading the company, having the role of
Stella Crofton, Is a young woman whose
work in the part is prophetic, of better
things. Mr. Murdoek MnQuarrle's Burleigh
Mayor la well done, and o la Mr. J. Grif
fith Wray's Steve Daubeny. Miss Carlot
la'a Aunt Doahcy is a decided hit, and the
sweet, pure voice of Miss Josephine Lynn
la a real treat In the songs sung by the
negroes for the entertainment of the quality
folk. Two capacity audiences witnesaed
the play yesterday and gave it unqualified
approval. "Under Southern Skies'" stay
until after Wednesday night, and will be
offered at a matinee on Wednesday.
"The Devil's Anetlan" at the Bnyal.
Yesterday .xfteroonn and evening the
"twenty-third edition" of Charles H. Tale
"Dei li s Auction" waa given at the Byd
theater. One could hardly escape being 1m
pressed with the thought that much of
the interest had faded from this "everlast-
Ing" extravaganza during the time it has
been before the public. At any rate, it
doesn't heem to thrill as It once did, and
I the company has dwindled much as the
! interest. It is oe longer the magnificent
organisation that was the talk of the con
tinent. Two medlum-sised audiences
watched Its unfolding yesterday, and were
entertained by the acrobatic specialties of
fered, but not overcome by any of the
transformations cr other spectacular fea
ture. The stay was for one day only.

FIRST EXPOnTS TO FRANCE IN YEARS
May Toraj Has Tendency to raapa

by 'Advance of Cent In

OMAHA. Dee. K 1"
The weaknem In wheat todav seems to
. have been the result of the action of the
J Interests which bought bids heavily la.U
Hani ana soia tne wneat si me ryrnnn
this morning and were reported to be buy
ers on the first break to Sec of the May.
There was nothing in the news to warrant
such a break. In fact, there were a number
of Items which should have given confi
dence to holders.
Liverpool, while not materially changed,
reported holders firm. New York claims an
excellent demand for Manitoba wheat, not
withstanding the dullness, and 9ooo bush
els are said to have been worked to France,
the first in a number of year.
The tendency of May corn to sympathise
with the weakness In wheat was checked
by the strength shown bv the old Decem
ber, which advanced lc on very little buy
ing. The current month Is congested,
and as there is little corn of the contract
grnde, and but a short time to make more,
the price seems largely a question of
whether hnlriera act In harmony or not.
Oats were easier, selling in sympathy
with the weakness in wheat. The market

CATTLE Thera were no cattlo of any
consequence on the market this morning.
What little stock was in sold at ritaay
prices. The receipts for the w-ek are
28.UJI head, whlcn la larger than lant week
by about V.3U0 head, and is also larger than
the run fur the corresponding week one
ytiir ago by about 13,7uo head
The auiiply of good choice beef steers sll
during tha week has been very moderate.
Tlae most of the offerings have lieen of
common quality, with a great tlfl of
warmed-up or snort-tea cattle coming In.
Good, choice beef steers have sold prac
tically steady all during the week, there
being no quotable change In prices on
this grade of rattle. 'Ine warmed-up
sneers, however, have had a bard time.
Packers do not want this kind of stock and
have bought It only at a sacrifice. The
market for the week on this kind closed
the week lofjloc lower.
Trading on the better grades of cows
and heifers has been about steady all
week and there la no quotable change frem
the close of last week. The common and
medium grades of cows, however, close
1vj15c lower. Cannere and cuttera were
hit the hardest, this kind of cattle suffering
a decline of 15?26c.
There hss ben a liberal run of stockers
and feeders every day this week. During
the early part of Nine week speculators
figured that there would be a good demand
for this kind of cattle on the part of
country buyers and took up this stuff
There waa a good demand, but it was not
equal' to the receipts, with the result that
towards the last of the week lh lower
division had more feeder cattle on hand
than were wanted. The market then ex
perienced a slump, so that at the close of
the week good choice feeders and atockern
are off 10dl5c, while the medium grades
have declined 15(a25c with the common
selling mostly 2fiti;)5c off.
HOGS There was a liberal run of hogs
on Ihe market today, 150 cars, about lo.fluo

Tfle general quality or tne onennsn
fat killing aheep has been a little better
than has been coming In lately. Good,
choice, fat stock, 'suitable for the Christ-
mas trade, has been selling at good, strong
prices all week, while the common and
medium grades have been rather Blow at
tirlres Kteurlv In ANler. Generally Speak
tng, however, the market on fat sheep Is
steady to strong for the week. Parkers ap
pear to have been wanting some good,
choice medium-weight yearlings, and what
has been on the market found ready sale
at good, strong prices. Lambs have been
a little Slow an weeK, nut, ioriunain
the supply has been small. The week
elosea with lambs steady, however.
There has been a (nirlv liberal supply of
feeding sheep on the market this week
and. while the trading on this kind of
aho.n r.ih.r noil v. the fore oart of
the week, the demand made by the coun-
try buyers fell off a little. The quality or
the offerings has generally been faltiy
good. Choice feeder sheep have found ready
sale at prices that were steady throughout
the week. However. It will be well for
shippers to use a little caution In making
shippers to use a little caution In making
their shipments from now until after he
holidays. The demand, as la usually the
case at this time ot the year, will be s
little slaek inri all warmed-UD or short-
fed stock will have a hard time and have
to be disposed of at a sacrifice. Generally
speaking, the market on feeders closes the

The first scene In this little play has

for S'liiic nnaceouT-table reason the in

from Lawson's llternry efforts, some point
to the recent scandals In the Insurance
