ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
No General CelebraNon-The EntertaiD-
ment Tonight.

Emerald flags, with the uncrowned harp,
were to be seen floating from several buildings
| around town today and green leaves to repre-
sent the shamrock were worn on many breasts,
but there.was no parade or other public cele-
bration of st. Patrick's day. The Irish societies
did not turn out, parade, nor did they attend
as organizations the services at St Patrick
church in honor Of their patron saint
The services at that church this morning,
however, were peculiarly interesting. Mass
was celebrated at 10 o'clock and the church
was packed standing room being all that late
corners could ask for. Cardinal Gibbons and
Bishop Keane rector OF the Catholic university,
took part in the ceremony. Archbishop Ryan
of Philadelphia preached the panegyric Of the
| saint, and his address was an able and eloquent
tribute to the memory of that great
man about whom SO much has been written,
but of whom so little is really known with his
torical accuracy. Archbishop Ryan is regarded
as one of the most eloquent orators in the
Catholic church. and the simple announcement
that he is to preach is always sure to bring to-
gether a large audience. A number of other
priests from this city were present and took
part in the services, which were of a very i'm
pressive nature.
The choir rendered Hayden No. and por-
Miss Ella Vandoren, Mrs. j. Esputa Daley,
Messrs. l.: L. Cannon, b. A. Ryan, Jas. Collins,
A. Fennell; organisr, Miss Louie Boone; direc-
tor, Sig. Mariana Mama. The sweet voice of
Miss Marie Decca was heard IN the venl
Creator before the sermon. Sig. N. Mama
sang in fine style at the offertOry .'Creator
Alme Liderum." The choir was assisted by
members of st. Matthew's, st. Dominick's and
Immaculate Conception.
SENATORS WHO WORE THE GREEN.
st. Patrick's day was not celebrated with
much outward show in the Senate Only one
democrat wore the green-Senator Reagan
and he was Hibernian oasis in desert Of
unadorned clothing. On the republican side
there was a very fair proportion of Erin. Sham
rocks adorned the flower buttonholes in the
coats Of Senators Teller and Allison. and there
was profusion of green ribbons and vegeta-
ton on the breasts of Senators Blair Sherman
Paddock and Mitchell. The latter gentleman
was on both sides of the question: for on his
desk was a bunch Of roses that narrowly es-
capped being orange in hue.
MUSICAL AND LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT
The alumni of st. Johns college will give
musical and literary entertainment this even
ing at 1880 in the college building on Vermont
avenue in honor of st. Patrick's day. The pro-
gram that has been arranged includes songs
and solos by Messrs. Gait, Brosnan, Goodchild,
Libbey, West, McEnaney, O'Connor, Forsythe,
French Ryan and Waldecker. and Rotations
and addresses by Messrs. Shea, Dolan, ONeill,
O'Donoghue, Shulteis, Madigan, Nolan, Walsh,
Moran and DeLacy.

Boy Thieves Sentenced.

Charles Hudson, Richard Goodall and Frank
Bell, colored boys, were tried in the Police
Court this afternoon on two charges of larceny.
They were arrested by Policeman Holmes.
Bell, who Is only fifteen years old, admitted his
guilt and claimed that he was drunk at the
time he committed the offense. Hudson, who
has served time in the reform school, said he
was three days over sixteen years old, and
the judge told him it was a pity that he
was not three days under that age, so
he could return him to that
institution, but as he was over sixteen years he
would have to go Jail. One year was his SEN
tence. Frank Bell had never been in prison
before and he was sent to the reform school
Goodall, who has spent more than two years in
the reform school, was sentenced back to that
institution during minority" emphasized the
Judge.

| Mrs. Hoffman Gives Her Views Of the
American Government

'Is this Q Christian government was the
subject Of an interesting address at the Con.
gregational church yesterday afternoon BY
Mrs. Clara G. Hoffman, president Of the Mis-
souri, W.CT.U., old line and unlimited Mrs.
Hoffman is q middle-aged woman, whose
father was an oldtime abolitionist in
New York state and aided many
slaves to cross the st. Lawrence. She spoke Of
our treatment Of the Indian as portrayed in
Helen Hunt Jackson's Century Of Dis
honor" of the treatment of the negroes
because their labor was valuable to the
owners Of southern cotton fields and
the northern cotton mills; of the dis
Reimbursement of women; of the establishment
of "canteens' at all army posts and soldiers
homes, thus encouraging gambling and drunk
enness; OF favoritism to the liquor power, as
shown by official papers read before the liquor
dealers convention in 1872; of the refusal to
protect the women and chill 1ren of our country
from the evils Of the liquor traffic; Of the
apathy and Inconsistency Of the church on
great moral questions. and other indictments,
from which she concluded that our country
could not as yet claim to have Christian gov
eminent.
REFERRING TO THE woMEN's CRUSADE
at Lothrop, No., and the cry of the godly press
against such disregard of the rights of prop
erty, she stated that the county in which 10th
rop is situated adopted local option two years
ago, and that since then no saloon had possessed
any legal right to exist, but that in
Lothrop they had each paid a
fine OF $40 month which was divided among
the mayor, marshal and prosecuting attorney
to purchase their mastery inaction. A man
was stabbed and killed in one of these illegal
saloons, and his wife, in the agony of despera-
ton, had asked other women to 60 with her
while she emptied the contents of the saloon
on the ground. 1t was done, and the
Speaker asked if the property right in the
contents of a saloon was of a higher order than
the right to husband and children. Mr. F. NJ
Bradley made a short appeal for funds to fur
nsh the new W.C.T.U. headquarters on New
York avenue and, after a liberal collection,
Mrs. La Fetra dismissed the meeting.
At the close of Mrs. Hoffman's remarks Rep
resentative Morse arose in the audience to de-
fend the Congregational church Of Massachu-
sets against the impression he thought had
been made that the church Endorsed the
attitude Of the Congre9ationahst on the
liquor question. Mrs Hoffman ac-
cepted the explanation but still in
sisted that the Congregational church of Massa-
chusetts and elsewhere, of which she herself is
a member, is way off on the liquor question.
Miss Willard, Prof. Samuel Dickey and others
are billed to speak here soon.

THE IDAHO CASES.
The U. 8. Supreme Court Affirms the

The appellants allege that they declared
their respective bodies, the council and the

days, this being the limit to which
the legislative sessions might ex-
tend under the law of Congress-. They
assert that some members Of each body
remained behind and elected new presiding
officers and passed some seventeen acts. By

obtain writs of mandamus to compel the Secre-
tary and chief clerk respectively to strike from
the laws Of Idaho the acts passed
after an adjournment had been declared
by the House at the expiration Of the sixty
days the legislature was allowed to sit The
Idaho supreme court denied the applications
