Irish Americans Pay a Last Trib-
ute to the Late Thos. Brennan.
1t was representative body of repre-
sentative Irishmen that was gathered
last evening at the Celtic-American
club TO do honor to the memory of the
late Thomas Brennan, After the meet
ing had been called to order, the floor
was taken by Hon. c. d. O'Brien, who
made an eloquent address eulOgiStic of
the deceased. lie said that words were
inadequate to express the excellence of
the late geptleman's character; no lam
guage sufficiently glowing to frame a
eul0gy. OF Mr.. Brennan'S financial
success, the speaker said that no step
was ever taken by the deceased at the
expense of another man; that in him
all the sweetness of human friendship
truth and love, converged, and that no
man lived who could call him enemy.
He was the perfection of truth, loyalty
and honor, a man respected and adj
mired by all upon whom the rays OF
his friendship were shed. In c0nclu-
sion Mr.. O'Brien said: "Of man for
for whom we had cared less, more
might be said, but now, when there is
so much that can be said, | find myself
wanting in words"

tribute to the memory of Mr.. Brennan.
He said:
''He was gentleman of whom all
nature might rise up aid say: This isa
man. He could govern others, be-
cause he knew how to govern himself:
man upon whose moral or mental na-
ture there were no crevices or pro-
turberances. A thorough Christian gen
tlemaH, all his frailties leaned to the
side of virtue. Peace, face that we
miss, kind heart and true Peace TO

ID. w. Lawier delivered a short ad-
dress, in which he detailed the noble
traits of the deceased, and concluded by
saying that the example Of his life
would be of infinite benefit to his late
associates. The following resolution

Virtues of the Late Thomas

The explosion of a kerosene lantern
in the stock room of the st. Paul White
Lead and Oil company. at 26 West
Fourth street, started a disastrous fire
about 6 o'clock last night. The room
was filled with paints, oils and other
highly inflammable matter, and the fire
gained great headway before the arri-
val of the department. The stock room
was located in low wooden building
between the stone building occupied by
the company as a factory. and Michael
Gasser'S livery stable, Fourth and st.
Peter streets. When the first brigade
of the department arrived the whole
front of the wooden structure was
ablaze, and the fire soon extended
70 the second story of the
livery stable, but hard work
by the department kept 1t fiom the
company's factory, in which was stored
a large quantity of tnrpentine and ker-
osene. The horses were speedily re-
moved from the livery stable. which
appeared to be in imminent danger of
total destruction, but the fire was con-
fined to the second story and soon ex-
tinguished. The paint company,
composed OF G. w. Baker ana u. -.
Warner, st. Paul. and j. Q, Willard,
and G. F. Piper, of Mankota. suffered a
loss of about 5000, with an insurance
of not over $1,000. GasSer, the livery
man, is the heaviest loser by the fire.
In the second story of his barn and in
the attic over the paint company's store
room were stored from forty to fifty
buggies and carriages, which We're
nearly all destroyed, and in addition to
them he lost large amount of grain
and hay. He estimated his loss last
night at about $1,000. Several carriages
owned by private individuals were also
destroyed. The loss on the frame
building. which was owned by L. L.
Mann. is about 5000, and it believed
that the loss on the building occupied
by Mr. Gasser. owned by Mrs. III. A.
Nichols, will not exceed $500. Both
buildings were fully insured.

Anxious to Work for Uncle
Sam.
AT 9 O'Clock yesterday morning about
twenty well-dressed young men came
into the United States court room in
the postoffice building to attend the
first examination for the railway mail
service under the civil service law
passed last January. They were mostly
residents of st. Paul, although some
were from Ramsey county, one from
Cedar Rapids, To-, and two from
Dakota. Superintendent Butler, of the
tenth division, has made a requisition
on the postmaster general for twenty
three new men, and those examined
yesterday will be pretty sure of obtain
ing an appointment soon. The exam
ination was ridiculously easy, almost
all the questions being such as
any school boy could answer.
The words in spelling were
such as board, chief, carrier, rules, inn
preston, stamp, etc. One of the hard
est features to any one not accustomed
to reading writing was the reading
aloud of the addresses of 100 cards,
averaging about ten to fifteen words.
These the applicants were required to
read in twenty minutes, some being able
to read III fifteen minutes, and others
were shut out by the expiration of the
time. Questions were also asked as to
capitals of states, principal railroad CEN
ters in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana,
Dakota and the upper peninsula of
Michigan, all Of which is embraced in
the Tenth division, this being the
largest one in the United States. Supt.
Butler is to be congratulated on the fine
lot of men which the advantages of civil
service reform will bring under his
charge.

To Aid Poor Women.

The Decorative Art society opens an
exhibition at the Ryan hotel Monday.
This society has Tor its object the aid of
deserving poor women, whom it in-
structs in the fine art OF embroidery,
and assists to get positions when they
have become efficient. The instruction
is gratuitous, and the goods made are
afterwards sold at very reasonable
prices, the society dedueting small
percentage to cover expenses. Mrs.
Pode, the superintendent, is well quail
fed for the position, having spent five
years studying at South Kensington and
nine as superintendent of similar So
ciety in New York city. The societyss
aim is to educate the taste of this wild
and woolly West to an appreciation of
the truly beautiful in the broider's art,
and to all appearances they are succeed
ing fairly well. Their exhibition will
be open Monday and Tuesday at the
Ryan hotel, and the managers promise
the public display so gorgeous, and
withal so aesthetic that the mind will
intuitively recall flower gardens in
July, with gay-plumaged birds flashing
their brilliant tints in the warm SUM
mer sunlight. The articles on exhibit
ton will be offered for sale at very rea-
Sonable rates, while the wealthy pluto
crat of st. Anthony Hill can find
plenty of scope for the outlay of his
millions, the humber gentry can find
charming articles at low figures.

Mr.. Sawyer maintained that the aver
