ROBERT EMMETT.
Anniversary Entertainment by the EN-
met Club Last Evening.

anniversary entertainment by the En-
met Club Last Evening.
The annual entertainment of the Robe
Emmett Club, in honor of the anniversary
o. the birth of Robert Emmett, was held in
Granger Hall last evening. The hall was
scarcely large enough to hold the number
who attended, many of the audience being
compelled to stand. Irish and American
flags were waving in graceful folds over the
stage and in the center of which was a
large engraving of Robert Emmett. The
address of Judge J. T. Sullivan was the
feature of the evening and was splendid
eulogy on the life and character of the great
martyr and patriot, and the lesson it should
teach its countrymen. Going farther he
showed why Irishmen should take pride in
their country, from the deeds done by their
countrymen IN all lands and in all stations
of life.
The Judge was frequently interrupted with
hearty applause, and his address will long
be remembered with pleasure by his adj
mirers and hearers.
An excellent programme was rendered
by the ladies and gentlemen taking part in
the exercises, the songs, Rotations and in
strumental music being of high order,
and generally of patriotic Irish character.
The exercises closed at late hour, every
one going home highly pleased with their
evenings entertainment. Following is the
programme:

ing Young Charms" by Master P. Farrell

Some of them Reviewed for Purposes of
Demolition.
People who live in glass houses should
not throw stones"
They are the only ones who may. The
fact that men so c,everly excuse or justify
their own weaknesses, is proof conclusive
that they have no right to deal severely
with those they chance to be free from
The same course Of reasoning that miti-
gates their faults applies to others, and
calls for charity and tolerance and liber-
atty. This new doctrine is the one to
which we must come. The gossips and
critics and censors must preface their COM
ments with an admission that they share
the fault at which they strike. Else are
they unfair, unjust, incompetent. Their
very immunity and perfection disquali-
fies them. The sentiment must prevail,
that it is cowardly to throw stones that
hurt and wound, when unable to under
stand or appreciate-when securely forti-
fed behind the fortress of immunity.
This newer doctrine is the better one.
When it prevails We shall ali be the wiser
and happier, than in these days, when we
are "censors of such vices as we are not
tempted to commit, and satirists of such
virtues as we are not allured to initiate"
"Contentment is better than riches"
That sounds like the despairing wall Of
a disappointed man. 1t is patent medi-
cine, intended for those who have tried
for success and failed 1t is warranted to
have the same soothing effect that the
conclusion about the grapes had on the fox.
If taken in sufficiently large doses it will
make man helpless nonentity. 1t is a
narcotic that does more harm than good.
1t puts to sleep the very ones who need
waking. The fact is, contentment is salts
fled laziness. Those who better themselves
and get the grapes do not think they are
sour. A true man is not necessarily dis
contented, but he is ever aspiring. He
would do more-be more-get more. He
does not care for absolute contentment.
The utmost he will admit is that content
ment, with riches, is better than without
them.
"Man was born to succeed, not fail"
Then vast number of men do not serve
the purpose for which they were born.
Success is the xception-failure the rule.
The retrospect is picture of unfruitful
effort. The contemplation of it should
make us more active and earnest but we
take a good look at the picture and go
right along accumulating- nothing but
leaves."-Walter Gregory in North Ameri-

signed and dated by the hand of the
deceased that the next of kin and

ceased, of every kind and nature, to Lydia
NJ. Stevens, and makes her sole executrix,
without bonds. She is to collect all debts
that may be due deceased, and all life in
surance, etc. She is requested by the Will
to set aside, and cause TO be invested in
some good and safe interest paying securl-
ties, 81 600, for the benefit of the grandson

A Curious Case.

Judge Armstrong and jury were en-
gagged yesterday in Department One of the
Superior Court in listening to the evidence
in the case of William Waldron VS.. A. T.
Waldron, two brothers, who have had
dispute over the division of profits on
real estate transaction in this city. They
purchased the block bounded by Y,
Twenty fifth and Twenty-sixth streets. A.
T. Waldron put in $1,000, and William
Waldron put IN 5000, with the understand
ing that he would put up another $500 IN
installments of $50 per month, and would
pay interest on the deferred payments. The
property advanced rapidly, and was soon
sold for $40 more than double the amount
they had paid for it. As William had only
paid in $780, A T. proposed to divide the
profits on the basis of the amount paid in,
giving his brother double the amount he
had paid and half of the $40 over Will
lam sued to recover $406, which he claimed
was due, holding that his agreement to pay
the $500 and interest thereon made him an
equal partner in the transaction. Beatty &
benson appeared for plaintiff, and Grove
l.. Johnson tor the defendant. The case
was carried on in friendly spirit, neither
side asked for any special instructions to
the jury, and the Judge simply informed
them that if nine of them were agreed they
could find verdict. In about five minutes
the jury brought in verdict for the plain
tiff for the amount claimed.

Fourth Ward Primary Whisky Brings
MANY to Grief,

Fourth Ward Primary Whisky Brings
Many to Grief.
Judge Buckley had quite a lengthy cal
enda- before him when he opened Court
yesterday morning, and, glancing at the
prisoners dock, he recognized number of
familiar countenances. Most of them were
charged with being drunk. and their SUBJ
sequent examinations developed the fact
that Fourth Ward whisky and the excite
ment of the political struggle of Saturday
were the causes of their present disgrace.
Louis Cavanaugh remarked that he was
sorry 10 say he was guilty OF being drunk,
and he was given twenty days to sober up
Tom Dougherty, railroad man from Napa
Junction, pleaded guilty of being drunk,
and was discharged, as it was his first
offense. William Sullivan, James Lante-
schlager, Dick Briggs and Robert Butter
field. accused of having been drunk, for
feited their deposits.
The cases of A. NJ. Straus, Dick Reid
and Jack Harris, arrested for disturbing the
peace by fighting at the primary in the
Fourth Ward on Saturday, were dismissed
Tor want of prosecution. The men would
not bring charges against each other, and
no one else was found to swear to the
complaints.
Joseph 0ster was convicted of disturbing
the peace, and will receive his sentence this
morning.
Jim Martin pleaded guilty of being a
common drunkard, and was sentenced to
fifteen days imprisonment. He had been
up three times before during the past week,
and had promised reformation. He said
that he had intended to go out to Guthrie's
station to go to work, but he stopped to
vote in the Fourth Ward on Saturday and
never reached his destination.
Brock Doran was another victim of polit-
ical excitement. He pleaded guilty to the
charge of having been drunk, and Judge
Buckley asked: well, what have you got
TO say for YOURSELF"
Your Honor, l don't know what
should say this time. The last time l was
here promised you l would try to do bet
ter; therefore, don't consider that you
ought to have much sympathy for me.
did intend to keep straight, but Saturday l
went among SO many of them candidates
got drinkin' and that's all there is of it"
Where did you get the whisky-in the
Fourth Ward ?'' asked Judge Buckley.
"Well, it was every place-from Third
street clear to Front"
"If you had been arrested Saturday
morning you would not have met those
candidates, and would have kept sober ?"
continued the Judge.
We'll, no." said Doran they had a
meetin' Friday night"
You were formerly politician in Co.
lusa county, were you not ?"
'Oh, yes, sir. Mr.. Hart, there, might
say one or two things, if he would
The Court directed Mr.. Doran to pay q
fine of S., to which he replied:
I'm very thankful to get off so light /
know l ought to be punished bad A man
that can't form resolution, and keep it,
ought to look for no sympathy or leniency
at all but those candidates ="
His peroration was lost in the hustle of
removing the prisoners from the dock to
Y cir quarters below.

Some Lies Nailed.

Max Hornlien authorizes the statement
that the assertion made by the Bee is I'M
true, that be admitted or said concerning
the Fourth Ward primary that he never
saw ballots come from box more uni
formly, even at regular election"
He denounces the statement as
wholly false. Warren Drew, who
was present at the count of the
ballots in the same primary, says it is
untrue as published the Bee that the dis
crepancy between the 991 ballots in the
box and the 900 on the tally list is ''ac-
countable for by the fact that numerous
ballots were thrown out because they were
mutilated or illegal" LAS matter of
fact says Mr.. Drew, lust two ballots were
thrown out and no more, one because torn
in two and one because double"
Concerning the affidavits of A. III. Starr
and Ed c. Roeder that they with NJ. NJ. Drew
examined the ballot box and found it
clear, it develops that this examination
took place fifteen minutes before the polls
opened. In that time the box could be
stuffed thrice over.

members present.
r. S. Carey, of the City Street Railway,
appeared before the Board and asked that
an order be passed granting him the right

to Twentieth TO the official grade. He pur-
poses to put in solid track and gravel the

bad condition during muddy weather and
the track in many places is below the grade

give them good solid track. The order
was passed and the work will be done
under the direction of the Street Commits
siouer and City Engineer.
