the speakers was warmly applauded.
President Freeman arose. and in few
remarks condemned the slurs put upon
the Hebrews of the city by the Repub-

them peddlers and pawnbrokers. Not
all of the Hebrew citizens were engaged
in those pursuits, and those whU were
need not blush for them, as long as they
were honest and good citizens. The
club then unanimously Endorsed Frank
}. Brady for alderman from the Fourth
ward. and pledged him the full support
of all members.
So far the ticket of the club is Smith,

real name was Bridget. but for some re-
| markable reason Delia stands for Bridget,
particularly when Bridget IL in tho habit
| of spending her every spare minute in
| reading tho family story papers, Delias
only relation was u lplf blind grand
| mother. who woro a quilted hood and
knitted coarse stockings for he. living,
] Della worked rs buncher in feather
factorv and earned rs high us s. n week
sometimes, but then other times she only
got 81. .50--according to the briskness Of
traie--as she did piecework.
Della was pretty. with violet eyes, half
hidden by thick lashes, u delicate COM
plexion, curling auburn hair and a dainty,
curved mouth and snow white teeth, and
she was naturally graceful and had D
good figure for girl who worked 80 hard
and couldn't afford corsets. Della, being
pretty, was much admired by several Of
the sons Of families in Sullivan alley;
but, strange to say, she did not know it.
Her mind was so taken up by dreams
and fancies Of what she would like to be
that she never thought Of what she was,
and her love Of reading kept her aloof
awkward attentions Of the young men.
The day that Della was 1S she noticed
tho great blue and red posters on the
walls Of the alley telling about the
grand annual ball." ETC., and her heart
gave great thump and then stood still.
She had been reading about a grand ball,
and how Angelina Araminta Jones had
danced with a great prince who was
there incognito, and how he had married
her on the spot. Here was romance made
real-a New Years ball. The rest might
come. Her busy brain pictured herself
with blazing dark eyes, superb raven
black hair and pink dress looped with
yellow flowers. She never thought of
herself in these visions except as having
dark eyes and hair and G dazzling COM
plexion. The violet eyes and red hair
were not the real Delia's, but the COM
mon, workday Delia's-not the dream De-
lia, who was to be carried off by prince.
But it was very odd that this mysterious
prince who always appeared "incog' had
q remarkable resemblance to Larry Fin
negan in the face, though to be sure the
garments differed greatly from those
Larry wore when driving his own smart
little local express. The prancing horse,
too, used to look little like Billy, whose
sorrel tail was just the color Of Delia's
own hair.
While Della was dreamily eying the
pla,.ard Larry approached and said:
II was just in to see yer nanny, Miss
Diia, and she said l could accept Of
your company mean you could ac-
cept of mine-to 60 to the ball together.
Will ye go?"
Would she? Was not her heart hop
ping up and down with joy? But she
said:
"Tll let you know tomorrow"
"I'll call tomorrow evening; but, De-
LA, if you don't go with me and do go
with Tim Sullivan I'll lick him so that
he can't dance STEP"
Della snilingly went home. Her
grandmother said sharply:
"Ye are late, DAILY, and don't want ye
to get habit O talking in the street wild
ony one" ##
'Larry Finnegan asked me to the
grand annual ball, granny. What did
you tell him?'
"Oh, faith, said ye might go if ye
want to, but I don't know what yell
wear, wild them Mulligan girls having
rale silk dresses too"

suits it's fancy. Two and sometimes
tlrec bands Of music accompany one
club. large sums Of money being spent
in securing the best. from 1900 to 81 900
being not unusual. Gorgeous in rich
costumes, the spectacle presented rivals
tho famous Mardi Gras Of New Orleans,
tho Yelled Prophets and Priests of Pallas
Of the far west. The spirit Of rivalry
between the different clubs in the en-
deavor each to surpass the others in the
beauty and richness Of costume is ram
pant, and thousands Of dollars are spent
in dazzling raiment for the annual one
days strut. The costumers are crowded
to their fullest capacity for six months
making ready for the bewildering dis
play.
The fun really begins at midnight,
when the bell in old Independence hall
announces the arrival OF the New Year.
From that until morning the streets are
made lively by scores Of clubs, but these
nighttime revelers wear costumes Of the
cheaper sort.
The wonderful extravaganza to which
the different members of the clubs OF
shooters" go in procuring gaudy cos
tunes really passes belief. Nearly all
the participants are honest, hardworking
fellows in the humber walks of life, and
the gratified vanity which comes from
the applause of the multitude does not
mean the savings of month or two to
the paraders, utrepresents the product Of
q year of self denial and rigid economy.
At least once week the members Of
the clubs meet and talk over the display
to be made on the next New Years day.
They plot and plan, the one object being
to defeat all competitors. The aggre-
gate cost Of the 1892 parade was not less
than $6O, 600, and this vast sum came di-
rectly from the hardest working class in
the city. As soon as one parade is fin
ished the members of each club meet
ana talk over the situation. "A general
plan of campaign is laid out, and each
one binds himself to deposit a certain
sum q week, according to the wages
he earns. The average is about a dollar
. week, and with 200 members this
means good start toward procuring an
other outfit. Rank is determined by the
elaborateness Of The costume worn, and
when once man gains the position of
captain his relatives will hardly permit
him to be outdone by any other aspirant
for the great honor, for family pride
flows strongly where the Shooters
abide.
The stories of individual sacrifice are
positively marvellous. A few years ago
young huckster became infatuated with
the idea that he would like to be a
shooter" and for four years the young
fellow worked night and day, in season
and out, to save money for the greatest
event Of his life. The costume he wore
on New Years day was gorgeously mag
nificent and entitled him to a first lieu
The Helena independent., 1894-01-01

tenancy. Tho making Of the suit took
three months, and the clatcd huckster,
dreased In worn and faded suit Of
clothes paid the costumer $500 for tho
privilege of wearing tho costume In tho
parade on New Years dny. This money
would have gone far toward buying q
littlo homo for his widowed mother and
four little brothers and sisters. but
neighbors volunteered tho information
that tho mother was as pleased rs her
con over tho prospect, and the children
were kings and queens in province Of
obvious playmatcs.
Another young man saved mp all the
money he collld for six years, and made
his appearance on New Years day, 1901.
in costume that gained him many
prizes. 1t was too gorgeous for pen de-
scription, but the joy in his house was Of
short duration, for the young man
caught cold and died two days later.
Tho strangest thing in connection with
this curious custom is the fact that, de-
spite the great sums paid for the cos
tunes, they do not become the property
of tho paraders. When o person wants
n suit, he goes to the costumer with his
ideas. and the latter takes the matter un-
der consideration and finally submits
colored drawings Of the design. It gen.
orally takes seven or eight sets Of draw
ings before the ''shooter" is satisfied,
and then the costumer figures on the
cost, and the bargain is made. The
costumers arc pladged never to hire the
suits out again for parading purposes.
They are ripped to pieces, and such Of
the material as can be used is made up
again into other suits. The costumers
are sworn to secrecy regarding the de-
signs selected. There is reason for this,
as the different clubs have spies out in
all directions ende"voring to discover
the designs Of rival organizations.
The rivalry among the different cap
tains is princely in its magnitude. In the
parade Of 1892 one of them turned out in
$500 suit and was followed by 12 little
lads in fancy costumes, whose duty it
was to keep his cape from dragging in
the dust, while another required IA pages
to carry his gorgeous train.
There is another class of paraders
known as the ''commicks." They differ
from the shooters" in that no member
is allowed to spend more than "a on his
costume on pain of dismissal from his
club. One captain Of the "commicks"
paraded in cloak that had a 40 foot trail.
1t was trimmed with peanuts, sweet po-
tatoes, old bottles and old boots and was
held up by score of boys attired in the
castof habiliments Of their fathers and
big brothers.
Tho custom is almost century old,
but the present extravaganza in the mat
ter Of costumes has sprung up within
tho last 10 years. The merchants began
to offer prizes for the best dressed club,
and the tide of fortune turned in favor
Of the costumers, many Of whom have
risen from poverty to wealth. There is
no telling where the matter will end, but
the custom is firmly established and bids
fair to surpass in magnifcence the car
nivals Of the south and west.

A NEW YEAR BALL.

Christmas was never observed In Sui
Avan alley, from some occult cause, will,
the same vim and spirit that made New
Years so memorable a festival. Per-
haps it was because there was dim, un-
defined sentiment that Christmas was a
aolier day than New Years; but, how
ever it might have been, the fact re-
manned that New Years was the great
day Of the year for those who inhabited
That narrow alley that extended only
from one street to another through the
middle Of the block. There were tall
tenement houses on each side Of the al
ley, "louble deckers" some Of them, and
IN each lived from 10 to 20 families. The
people were all hard working and hon
est. II their hands were not white and
soft. they were strong and capable.
Tho alley swarmed with children-lit-
tie girls staggering under the load Of
baby and the boys under load Of old
laths or coal, gathered in their regular
trips in search of such family necessities.
The mothers generally toiled in their
rooms with willing hearts, while tho
men Of the household were away plying
their different avocations. The young
daughters Of Sullivan alley were mostly
employed in box factories or mills or at
cigarette making, and SO every morning
the alley was almost depopulated, to
overflow again at night when the tired

marching with Larry.
The Mulligan girls in their real silk
gowns were nowhere by the side Of De-
liza, and she was besieged with requests
to dance, all Of which were granted or
refused by Larry. She was living her
dream now, and whether Kitty or the
naughty Lady Hortense was her rival
she knew not nor cared. The music was
like that in heaven. The lights, the
guests, the supper, the cool drinks and
Larry all belonged to the same en-
chanted vision. She swan in q sea Of
delight. That her dress was sneered at,
torn or crushed she did not know. It
was all so beautiful.
At last the gray light Of morning ap-
peared, and there was just one more
dance, and everybody got ready to go
home and sleep all New Years day or
to go about their business or to "call" or

Della threw the shawl over her pretty
shoulders, and Larry offered his strong
right arm, as if to q princess, and "es-
