Emmett One was an American, the other
was an lrlshman. One was successful, the
other was unsuccessful. What we honor
and love in the one we will love and honor
In the other. 1t was the aspirations of
both to free their respective countries for
all time.
Emmett was born during the American
revolution; he was at school during the
French revolution; he was expelled from
school for his connection with the Irish
revolution"
Here the orator eloquently pictured the
struggle for national liberty in Ireland
how the country had been brought to the
verge of ruin by having its factories de-
molished, its schools closed and its ma
tlonal religion prescribed. He declared
that the men who had participated in the
struggles during the dark days of 1898 and
1903 would ever be held in sacred memory
by the Irish people. He spoke of the pa
thetic incidents in Emmet's life, of his
love for his country, of his splendid char
acter and noble, self-sacrificipg nature.
Standing by the side of Emmet's name
may say of their hero as Anthony said of
-Brutus, His life was gentle and the ele-
ments SO mixed in him that nature might
stand up and say to all the world this was
man. No good thing is ever done in
vain and so while Emmet's body persisted
his example lives; the star of his blameless
character shines white and eternal and who
knows but one day his broken sword may
be needed and leap to swift and ample ven
geance."
Miss Mary l.. Kimballs selections on the
harp-all old Irish airs-aroused the senti-
ment of the audience and round after
round of applause were evoked. Miss An
ME DAILY rendition of "Erin's Flag was
also fatteringly received and encores were

With music, SONG
AND ELOQUENCE.
ROBERT EMMET'S BIRTHDAY Roy
ALLY CELEBRATED BY IRISH
CITIZENS.
HIS MANY VIRTUES EXTOLLED
AFTER NEARLY A CENTURY THE
PATRIOTS MEMORY STILL
REvERED.

irish song, Irish music, Irish eloquence
and Irish patriotism ran riot at Metropoli-
tan Hall last night. 1t was the anniver
sary of Robert Emmett, and the great au-
dltorium was crowded to the doors by
those friends of the knights of the Red
Branch who yearly join with them in re-
calling the memory of the valorous young
1rishman. The American and Irish flags,
with ife-size picture of the hero
whose virtues and whose glories have so
often been sung were conspicuous among
the decorations.
Emmett was young person. He -four
lshed during the latter part of the last CEN
fury and the first of the present Pos
sessed of all the valor, genius and patri-
otto impulses of his people, he headed an
instruction against English rule; but the
movement was unsuccessful and the daring
young hberator was executed.
The Irish have for nearly a hundred
years revered his memory, and on March 4
OF each year they give expression to their
feelings. That was the purpose that
called several thousand citizens of Irish
blood to Metropolitan Hall last night and
the manner in which they enthused over
their ideal shows that his memory is still
very green in the Irish heart
Colonel j. G. O'Connor presided and in
his opening remarks paid glowing tribute
to the memory of Robert Emmett, who,
he said, had he led successful instead of
an unsuccessful revolt for Irish liberty,
would have been regarded as the George
Washington of Ireland. He said that
there was something about the name of
Emmett which appealed to Irish sympathy
and affection, and the annivers ary would
be celebrated until the end of time
Miss Julia Heffernan played the Irish
airs very cleverly and Miss Flossie Con-
ners sang ashore in fair voice. The
Plymouth male quartet, consisting of
Messrs. Coffin, Rice, Warde and Parent,
rendered three delightful selections in their
own perfect way.
Joseph J. Dwyer was the orator of the
evening. His address was out of the ordi-
nary. 1t dealt with the character of En-
met and the influence of his life upon all
time, and was superior in point of thought
and expression. He said in part:
within the last two weeks we cele-
brated the anniversary of the most illus
trious man in the history of all countries,
George Washington. Tonight we cele-
bate the anniversary of one of the most
distinguished sons OF Ireland, Robert

cane, and he can attest the seaworthiness
of the craft.
sThe Everett is the thirty-ninth whale
back which has been built and the fortieth
vessel is now under construction at our
yards at West Superior. We started to
build the Everett when things were boom
ing on the sound, but as the boom petered
out we finished her up for the New York
and Tampico trade. If business warrants
we will keep her on the coast and may
build more vessels. Forty vessels includ-
ing 10000 tonnage, is pretty good record
for five years, and you can judge from that
whether the boats are a success. We are
in competition with no class of vessels, or
with all classes, as you like. All vessels
are in competition for that matter, and we
are in it with the rest"
The Everett sailed yesterday afternoon
for Port Costa, after landing her passen-
gers.

WHO WERE HIS CELLMATEs 2
Searching for Particulars of James
Vincent's Death.


Vincent's Death.
A most unique search for parties whose
identity is unknown by those seeking them
is now in progress in this city. we'll
known lawyer is conducting it, and he is
endeavoring to locate his parties by means
of advertising in the personal column of
the newspapers.
The persons sought after are not known
as to number, but on the oath of October,
1886, they occupied cell in the City Prison
with one James Vincent, who had been
arrested for some offense. On that date
Vincent died in the cell, and everything
indicated that natural causes brought his
demise about.
1t appears, though, that there is money
coming to Vincent family in the shape of
pension for small amount Small as it
is they want it, however. But there is a
milling block in the way. Unless the
exact particulars concerning Vincent's
death can be procured the money is not to
be had. The attorney thinks that if he
could find those who occupied the cell with
Vincent when he died there would be little
difficulty in determining whether the man
died from alcoholism, violence or what
That is why search is being made for the
men who were in Vincents cell, nearly ten
years after his death.

FRUITLESS.
AN AFFAIR THAT Is BECOMING
A MYSTERY - WHAT HIS
FRIENDS SAY.

The continued absence of DR.. Victor J.
Stearns, who has been sued by Mrs.
Bridget Ramage of 417H Third street, for
$4,000 damages for breach OF promise of
marriage, is the subject of considerable
speculation among his friends, who are
now beginning to think that his disap-
pearance is mysterious.
81 cannot imagine where he can be-
said his business agent, Mr.. Levitsky. eff
DIR. Stearns' sole motive in keeping in hid
ing were to evade service of summons in
Mrs. Ramage's suit there might be some
excuse in keeping his retreat secret, but
when his property interests are allowed to
suffer by reason of his absence, the doctor s
continued absence must be regarded as
significant. He has disappeared as COM
pletely as if the earth had swallowed him
up"
Attorney J. D. Sullivan, counsel for Mrs.
Bridget Ramage, stated yesterday that he
had caused close search to be made for
DIR. Stearns in order to serve summons
upon him, but thus far he has not succeeded
in locating the physician.
"My opinion 49, said Attorney Sullivan,
that he is in hiding in this city, notwith-
standing report that he had gone to
Arizona. He has considerable property
here, and l cannot believe that he would
leave it to take care of itself merely to
escape summons in the suit
eve cannot account for DR.. Stearns' long
absence" said one of the members of the
Olympic Club yesterday. He used to
come here every day to play chess, but
since the filing of the suit against him he
has not been seen. He was known to be
very sensitive man, rather high strung and
quite peculiar.
HE appeared at all times to fear
notoriety, and l now believe that he has
gone into retirement in order to escape the
joking of personal friends at the plight in
which he finds himself. He has queer
hobbies, one of them being that he is
great hypnotist. So earnest was he in
propounding hypnotic doctrines that we
used to think him little off in the upper
register 1 cannot imagine what would
keep him from sending for his mail any
how, for some of it must be important. If
he is alive he is certainly acting like
crazy man."
Mrs. Ramage, who brought suit against
the doctor, has now determined to allow
the matter to rest, leaving to time the
solution of DR.. Stearns' somewhat peculiar
disappearance.

VIOLATING AN ORDINANCE.
A PrOpertyOwner Who Put Down a
Plank Sidewalk.

A case of interest to property-owners,
being the first of the kind, will be heard by
Judge Low in a day or two. Yesterday
morning George H. Oulton, Deputy Su-
perintendent of Streets, swore out war
rant in Judge Lows court for the arrest of
Michael Higgins, property-owner on
Glover street, between Jones and Leaven-
worth, on the charge of "willfully and I'M

Academy of Sciences.
One thing notable about the meetings of
the Academy of Sciences is the number of
young women or girls who attend. The
audiences are always composed more
than half of women, and the great major
lty OF these might very properly be called
girls, and very pretty girls, too.
The men of the audiences attending the
lectures are old and gray and bald. The
exception to this rule last evening in a
rather small audience, however, was just
two. 1t is not certain, therefore, that they
came to hear the lecture, if the character
OF the other part of the audience will be
remem bered.
But that an audience gathered to hear a
lecture on "The Structure and Life His
tory OF the lnfusoria, as illustrated by the
Genus Stentor," should be more than half
composed of San Francisco bright and
V1vaclous young women ought not to be
lost. sight OF in the prevailing contention
about the new woman"
The lecturer was Professor H. P. John
son. He began his address by saying that
he had given three years study to the
stentor, microscopical animal of very low
order that is to be found everywhere in
still or slowly running water; is trans
parent, but of varied and beautiful colors,
swims by revolving and multiplies by
lengthening and dividing itself.
The professor entered into the minute
details of his experiments in studying the
nucleus of the stentor-how he cut the
little thing. in slices and subjected the
slices to his inquiring microscope and
found upon the bodies of the nuclei other
nuclei so small that they might be COM
pared to hazelnut beside football, and
almost impossible, as it might seem, he
said, the stentor, the full-grown stentor,
might grow from this to a size almost to be
seen by the naked eye.
And to all this the young ladies listened
with vivid eagerness.

PIONEERS ARE PROGRESSIVE.
They May Adopt the Australian System
of BaIIoting.

An innovation in the procedure of de-
Lucrative assemblies will be introduced at
the next meeting of the California Pho
neers' Society, in the shape of proposed
new bylaw which provides for the election
called Australian ballot system
Broadly stated the provisions are: That
the secretary shall receive any list of
names for offices proposed by thirty mem
bers of the society up to within ten DAYS
of the annual election; these lists shall
then be printed the same as our State bal
lots; only one ballot shall be allowed to
member and, if the one furnished is dam
aged so it cannot be used, it shall be
returned and another issued in its stead.
and, lastly, the California law regarding
the manner of voting and counting the
ballots shall govern in the matter.
1t is expected that the usually quiet pro-
ceedings of the society will be enlivened
on April by oratory for and against the
adoption OF political expedient in the
society.
