ment Of Money Due Him.

vim Mason, at his homo yesterday after
noon. Mason, 1t Is claimed, had loaned
Trask $500 several years ago, and being
out OF work was badly in need Of money
and had repeatedly asked his brother-in-
law for part payment 80 that Mason
could provide for his wife and five chill
dren. In every instance his appeal had
been useless.
This treatment is said TO have made
Mason turn TO drink, and when In that
condition would worry over the fact that
Trask would not assist him when it was
In his power to do so. Mason yesterday
afternoon made another appeal for part

fused. Mason thereupon pulled a re-
volver and fired il at short range. The

gOmery Bailey,
THE DANBURY NEWS MAN.
The Larger Part Of His Income Was
Devoted to Relieving the Needy.

DANBURY, Conn, March 5. - James
Montgomery Bailey. the famous Danbury
News Man and originator of American
domestic humor, died suddenly yesterday
morning. He had been ailing two weeks
from pneumonia and bronchitis. but his
illness was not considered dangerous The

A Marvellous Yankee Invention

Among the innumcrable exhibits I'm the

there was one of such unique design that,
even In that wilderness of interesting things,
IL attracted much attention. 10 con sisted of
two WAX figures, the one girl, sitting. and
the other IA man, standing upon n simple
platform. The man was leaning toward the
girl rs though he were explaining to her the
design of IA small crescent.shHped piece OF
rubber cloth which he held In his hand.
More life. like figures than these were never
seen in Nine. Tussaud's or any other exhibi.

people approached this group and looked In.
To the mans face, wondering why he stood
silent. when they discovered their error

figures meant. The figure of the man bore
the countenance of Jared II. Canfield, the In.

prettiest girls In Bridgeport, Conn.-an en-.

are now made by the million-whom he was

The Garfield seamless dress shield itself IL

The ll6th anniversary of the birth OF
Robert Emmett was duly celebrated last
evening by the Ssrsneld Association in its
hall in Carpenters block, East avenue,
and while IL was not on so elaborate q
scale as last year, still II was enthusiastic
and sincere.
Councilman Thomas O'Brien acted az
chairman and the meeting opened by q
trio entitled "Let Erin Re emember the
Days Of DID," by Messrs. Appleton Casey
and Butler, with Mr.. Appleton accom-
panying on the piano. They were enthu-
siastitally epcored.
Chair man O'Brien then introduced F. e
Fitxsimmons of Lonsdale who made an
earnest and patriotic address FROM the
standpoint of an Irish American, point
ing out forcibly and eloqusntly how, by
not only remembering but by emulating
the heroic deeds OF "the days OF old, ;" the
memory of the heroic Emmett could be
vindicated by his countrymen and the
time arrive for the monument to be
erected to his memory properly inscribed
by the hand of a freeman.
Thomas Carey then reeited that patriot
ic selection, ,''Shsmus O'Brien," in a way
to elicit the applause OF the entire au-
dience Robert j. Casey sang "Tbe Green,
White and Gold" and In response to an
encore sang "Emmet's Grave"
William Butler sang the shamrock OF
Erin, ,"snd being heartily encored gave
anot her pretty and patriotic selection.
Hon. Hugh J. Carroll was then pre-
sented. He was warmly received, show
ing that the people OF this city, notwith-
stan ding the calumny and abuse hesped
upon him, have still warm place In their
hearts for him, who, In season and out OF
season, has done his duty by the Irish
people both at home and abroad and held
himself at all times In readiness to help
the oppressed.
Mr.. Carroll made an excellent address,
recounting the principal events OF the
career OF that illustrious patriot, Robert
Emmet, who, though a Protestant, had
no warmer admirers than his Catholic
fellow countrymen.
He also took occasion to refer to the
death OF Frank Byrne which took place
recently in Providence, a man whose
work was as heroic as that Of Emmet,
and who sacrificed everything in order to
ameliorate the condition OF his country
men and make Ireland free nation.
He died in harness after q years OF ac-
tive service, being an active worker since
he was IS years of age. The Irish people
OF Rhode Island owe II to the cause and
their reputation that those who were de-
pendent upon Frank Byrne, who are now
helpless, shall not suffer because OF his
death.
He closed with an eloquent recountisg
OF the efforts made by Robert Emmett to
strike the chain from Ireland and make
her a free and independent nation, and
failing, how heroi sally he met death for
his country.
Master James Lewis hen gave an ex-
cellent rendition Of "The Countersign"
and in response to q hearty encore he gave
another selection.
Charles Appleton then sang "1he Min
strel Boy" and responded cheerfully to an
encore, and then the celebration was
brought to successful close by few
words OF thanks from the chairman and
the singing of "God Save Ireland" by
those present standing, led by Robert j.
Casey.

The Nine.Hour Bill.

To The Editor OF the Tribune:
The greatest blessing which can be con-
ferred upon the working people OF this
State is the passage of the nine hour bill,
and the enforcing of the same when It IL
passed. We are now working sixty. one
hours a week although outsiders do not
II, and the bill to become a law would be
hailed with delight by the mill operatives.
Where will anyone find such ghost-like
faces and coDsumptive forms outside OF a
factory on account Of the long hours and
hard labor, working ten hours for eight
hours pay. DIR. Gsrvin knew what he
was talking about when he alluded to the
factories.
Now IL the talking machines. the woman
suffragists, would begin and help all the
other women and get up petitions for less
hours, we men would say they we're OF
some account. AS 1t is. they are not.
They are trying to help no one but them
selves. / hope these words will be pom
dered upon by the woman suffragists as
we need women to advance our cause
where talking is needed. Then the day
win be won. Woman suffrsgists, atten-
tion please, and begin at once.
