Tn suit for SANDER brought against
G. o. Bader by the Irish American bank
came before Judge Russ III in the dis
trics cour5 last Tuesday. Attorney Nc
Hale appeared for the defendant and on
his m ,tion the case was dismissed. The
charge against Bsder was that during
the finan cial panic of few months ago
when banks were being suspended in
this city he used the following untruth-
ful words at his hotel in the presence OF
William Coleman and others for the pur.
pose of iujuring the bank: "The bank il
no good, anyhow. There lie run on the
Irish American bank. The Irish-Ameri,
can bank has suspended, and there are
lots of others Of just the same kind. u
His talk did not iDjure the bank any and
perhaps that is why the case was dis
missed. .z.- .s~,--.s. ~
Frank Daniels ia Little Pu;K" is the
announcement made by the Grand Opera
House management for the first three
nights of next week, and it ought to be
sufficient to crowd that popular play
house at every performance. Daniels is
probably the most original comedian on
our stage of today, and he has never had
an imitator, possibly for the very good
is inimitable Anyway he is come and
with bigger, brighter, better and more
complete production OF "Little Puck
than he has ever before been seen in.
His supporting company on the present
tour has been selected from the ranks of
the better comedians and condolences
noa before the American public. In the
third act of "Llttle Puck" Mr.. Daniels
will give his famous impersonations of
Chevalier in the latest London coster-
monger songs, which are inst coming to
be understood in this country, although
Daniels was the FIRST to introduce them
here over year ago. The latest and
eet one is called MY Old Dutch" Mr..
Daniels renders these songs in the regu
lation coster costume.
A correspondent writes to the Times
OF this city dem anding fair treatment to
the Catholic portion. of the population
and protesting against the publication
of A. P. a. attacks upon the Catholic
Church, it's dlgnltaries and the members
/ thereof. The writer thinks that the city
editor and his staff are .imbued with
anti Catholic principles and are in afflia-
ton and sympathy with the enemies of
the Catholic Church. The IRISH
STANDARD knows to the contrary and
has the pleasure Of exonerating them
from that charge. At tbs same time the
city department. of the Times should
exercise better discretion than to give
the rawlings OF bigots as news. The edi-
tor OF the Times is not responsible for
what appears in the local columns, but
he cannot defend the action Of the city
department in this instance. He is mis-
taken when he says there is "contro-
versy' between Catholics and Protest.
ants in this city, for the "controversy" is
all on one side like the handle OF jug.
The aseailants Of the Catholics pose as
Professionals and speak in the name OF
Professionalism but we would be sorry to
believe they represent the sentiments
and feelings OF the non-C Catholic popu-
lRtion.
