The Opera house contained another large

ular and quite as effectual as the old-fash-

The audience last night was larger than

merous happy hits were received With the
heartiest manifestations of approval and
delight. The comic situations are mani

versatile and exceedingly clever in their

THE BIRTHDAY OF ROBERT EMNBr.

The 5th of March was the one hundred
and sixth anniversary of the birthday of
Robert Emmett, the Irish martyr and pa
triot. Eighty years ago, after a trial
which occupied but one day, before the
Infamous Lord Norbury, and two associ-
ate judges, he was sentenced to be execu-
ted on the morning af the next day (the
Goth of September, 1909. He was hanged
as felon, and after his body had been cut
down the head was severed from it and held
up to the gaze of the assemblage with the
words ''This is the head of Robert Emmett,
a traitor The crime of which he was
convicted, and so ANONYMOUSLY executed
was treason against the crown of England.
1t has grown to be custom in this
country to celebrate the anniversary of
the birthday of the young Irish patriot,
and the event this year seems to have been
observed with an interest and a reverence
that scarce ever before invested it.
For almost a century the memory of
this young hero has been cherished, not
only by the nationality for whose
freedom from OPPRESSION he persisted, bui
by liberty loving people of all nationali-
ties and creeds. The years roll on and
with them more tender honors are bestow
ed upon the name of the early patriot who
fell martyr to the sufferings and wrong:
of his people.
Emmett came upon the stage wher
Ireland was engaged in a struggle agains
the oppressive hand which still clutches a
its vitality, and when its people wer,
denied almost every privilege which
humanity grants to the most help
less of mankind. 1t is no wonde
perhaps, that the revolt against op
preston of which he was the leader failed
when it is comprehended that the follow.
ers in his movement could not, owing t,
the circumstance of their long vassalage
exhibit that resolution and constanc,
which animated the heroic leader.
Thomas Moore, the poet, was the colleg
associate and friend of Emmett, and
quarter of century after his tragic dealt
said of him: "Wers 1 to mention tn
man among all ] have ever know
who appeared to me to combine in tn
greatest degree pure moral worth with in

Especial Telegram to the Globe

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
NEW YORK, March 9.-The market open
ed with fair degree of activity, and gen.
orally better prices for stocks. Union Pa
cific during the first half hour advanced to
81; Western Union Telegraph to S44, and
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy sold at
119B. Indications were in favor of more
life, but before midday dullness was again
the principal feature, being assisted by a
manipulated money market, which Is get
ting to be an every day occurrence. The
fact that prices are maintained so well
throughout all the stringency would war
rant the belief that later on, when rates
ease, we will witness improvements in
good stocks. Transactions during the
afternoon were light; st. Paul weakened,
selling at 1O05s. The bears circulated
reports that some of Its paper
had gone to protest, which
were promptly denied. Denver & Rio
Grande earnings for the first week of
March increased $4,000. The stock sold
at 4611 early in the day. Prices yielded
all around in the final dealings. An ad
vance in the rate of exchange made the
bears more demonstrative. There is no
doubt of the fact that money is compare
| lively scarce, and there is even less doubt
that the extreme scarcity is the result of
manipulation. It is stated on good au-
thority this stringency has been affected
by cooperation between bulls and bears.
| The bears would like to have stringent
money market in order to get prices
down. Some of the large bull houses are
willing to see active money with the idea
that it will be a help in draw
ing considerable amount of
gold from Europe. 1t looked as though
the tactics employed would be successful
A large amount of money has been sent
west, and the usual spring demand from
Boston has been anticipated by sending
the money two weeks earlier than usual
Some of the large trust companies called
loans this forenoon and it is understood
that this policy will be pursued as long al
it is considered necessary for the further
ance of the plans in hand.

IN OUTRAGE BY THE JUDICIARY
Whatever may have been proved against
the defendants in the star route trial by
Reerders testimony, all who have read the
proceedings will admit that he has proved
himself to be one of the most unconscion-
able and malicious liars and perjurers in
the country. His attempt to implicate
Congressman Bedford in the conspiracy to
defraud the government was, perhaps, the
most audacious piece of malignity of
which we have record. Probably he thought
the lack of documentary evidence would
prevent Mr.. Bedford from proving his in
nocencs. But in this he reckoned without
his host. The banks through which checks
pass are in the habit of preserving record
of all such transactions, and it has been
shown beyond a peradventure that
neither the bank with which Belford
did business, nor that which was the re-
ceptacle of Dorsey's funds, had ever
cashed such check as Reerdel referred to
or any other check showing any transac-
| lions, large or small, between Belford and
Dorsey. Each of these parties have in
prehensivs denials of the charge-denials
that leave nothing to be desired. AS these
men are far more worthy of credence than
| one who has confessed himself to have
been a thief, liar and a perjurer, their
statements will be accepted by the public
as completely absolving Mr.. Bedford from
the charge of dishonest completely in the
conspiracy to defraud the government.
While, perhaps, nothing could be ex
pected from Reerdel but a string of false
hoods, what can be said in extenuation Of
the conduct of the court before which the
celebrated case is being tried, in seeking Il
besmirch the name of an homes
him an opportunity to be hearC
in his own defense? When Reerdel wa
upon the stand ne was permitted to drag
Mr.. Belford's name into the case, and t,
give whatever statements he thought woult
5 be likely to fasten guilt upon him. Coun
sci for the defense objected, but withou
: avail, against this outrage by a periure
: scoundrel under protection of the court
= BY adro1t questioning the counsel for tn

i Bedford, and the court decided their cor
duct proper. The other day Mr.. Belfor
