ance was small owing TO the lnisunder-
standing ON account of the report Oh Tor
felt by Doe, but there was plenty OF en-
thusiasm in the crowd of GOO.
Doe went up to Pawtucket prepared, to
win the game, and for time IL looked
as il the home team would lose, though
Smith had many more chances than La
tions. Victory came to the tigers, now
ever by the narrowest possible margin

more than two goals separated the teams

ture aside from Smiths remarkable goal

home team scored twice before the end OF

GUS HEEGE.
The Man who Introduced the swedish-
American Character To the stage.

American Character To the stage.
Gus Hcege enjoys the unique distinction
of being che first man TO write Il play based
upon the sturdy characteristics OF the
Swedish American. He was prompted to
do this by the fact that he was thoroughly
familiar with their peculiar dialect, and,
being an excellent actor, he argued that the
monetary returns which would accrue from
the presentation Of a new type ON the stage
would be very much greater than could be
hoped for under tho usual humdrum plan,
with the many possibiatics Of failure.
That his. theory was the correct one has
been amply demonstrated by the result Of

Kansas City, April 3O.-'Lord" Scu1ly.
the largest land owner in the United

Nobody but himself knows just how
many acres of land he owns, and he won t
tell. He said last night chat it was no.
Kansas legislature made it the business
of that body by passing a law prohibiting
alien ownership of land in that state.

lord at all, got around this by taking out
naturalization papers, and he is now we'll
on his way to American citizenship.
He is on a periodical tour of inspec ton

JERRY MAKES HIS PLAY.
But is Overridden by the Republican
Majority of the House


washington. April 3O-The house
was in session several minutes yester-
day. The journal was not read The
objection that there was no quorum
present was interposed by Mr.. Simpson.
POp. Kan.), whereupOn MI Payne,
(Rep., N. ", made a motion to ad-
jOurn.
the chair He held that an adjourn
ment under order of the house made
last Friday would be until Monday
next. Mr. Simpson protested vainly
that it was unconstitutional to adjourn
for more than a day without quorum
and he asked opportunity to be heard
but the regular order" was loudly de-
manded and the motion was put and
carried.
The question of whether business was
to be done by the senate this week was
raised in the senate by Mr. PettgreW.
Mr.. Pettigrew proposed that the SEN
ate direct a conference on the Indian
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Chandler, (Rep., N. H-), however,
gave notice that he would object to any
business being done because there was
a general understanding that none
should be taken up in the absence of
so many senators in New York to at
tend the ceremonies of dedicating the
Grant monument. Other senators pro-
tested that there had been no such
agreement made. ThereupOn, Mr.. Quay,
(Rep., Pa.), suggested that before the
Indian bill was disposed of there should
be an investigation of leases of the oil
lands, remarking that the senate should
know whether the Indians were being
robbed Of valuable interests.
A message from the president trans
hitting the report of the committee to
adjust the boundary line between the
United States and Mexico west of the
Rio Grande was read,
Then Mr.. Quay presented a resolution
calling on the secretary of the interior
for information as to whether the
leases 70 the Seneca's oil lands had
been made in the usual manner and
whether there had been any corruption.
1t was agreed to without debate.
During the presentation of memorials
Mr. SpoOner offered an inquiry from
lumber laborers asking for the enact
ment of lumber schedule of the Ding
ley bill
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Nor
gan, (Dem., Ala.), and adopted requir-
ing the president, if not incompatible
with the public interests to transmit to
the senate all correspondence with the
consul general and consuls in Cuba
since the beginning of the war, not
heretofore published.
The senate then adjourned until Mon
day.

THOSEIR GIRLS.
500 of Them Instead of 500 and Pret.
ty of Course.


New York. April 3O.-The 500 hundred
young girls from Ireland who landed
vest erday from the Steerage of the
transatlantic steamers represented all
the 90 counties of Ireland.
They ranged in age from 10 to %
years. And among them were some
colleens whose beauty made the hearts
of those waiting beyond the gates bound
with delight.
The effect of the climate and environ
nlent of the provinces whence they came
showed plainly in the appearance and
manners of the girls. The fisher girls
of County Donegal and the West Coast
of Ireland, had rudy compilations and
eyes as blue as the sky. They We're
simple in dress, and shrank from the
press of so many other clans and ma
tionalities. Then there were the lassies,
who when at home earned their liveli-
hood by means of knitting needles, and
these were manifest by the crocheted
wraps Of soft material thrown graceful
ly over the shoulders.
The girls were all delivered into the
care of a Semi-Of1cial person of kind
and dignif1ed appearance, who wore a
cap bearing two familiar marks of Erin
a harp encircled by wreath Of sham
rocks.
This was Agent Patrick NIcCool of the
Mission of Our Lady of the Rosary.
No. State street.
The Rev. Father NJ. J. Henry, director
| of the Mission, also was there to re-
ceive the girls, for they were all taken
under his protection. This form of ques-
ton and answer was gone through
with:
Agent McCool: what is your name.
dear girl?"
Immigrant girl: "Annie O'Brien."
''Ah, good Irish name. And what
part of Ireland do you come frOm?'
County Galway"
Good! We have a priest at the Mis-
sion from that county. He'll be glad
to see you, dear. Now, who do you ex-
IAN aunt, Mrs. Kate O'Brien of
Brooklyn"
Right up forward, now, darling. Get
them to call your name, and if no one
| comes to you, telegraph. If you have
not the money to telegraph, I'll do it
! for you Directly
But as general thing Annie found
! friends awaiting her and was hurried
away. Most of the girls are destined
for the west.

CALHOUN'S MISSION.
He Will Start to Cuba to Help Lee
Next Week.

Danville Ill. April 30.-Col. w. J. Cal
houn. who has accepted the mission to
Cuba to assist in the hearing of the Ruiz
case. will leave Danville for Cuba on next
Sunday or Monday. He will go first to
Washington to receive his Instructions
from the department of state.
Colonel Calhoun declined to discuss the
subject of his mission, because he thinks
it would be highly improper for him to do
so. He has had no conference with the
secretary of state or other officials on
the matter. He says he understands the
purpose of the mission is to assist as le-
gaI counsel Consql General Lee IN an IN
stances attending the death of DR.. Ruiz
an American citizen who was found dead
in one of the Cuban prisons. 1t is NOT
expected that the nvestigation will take
very long. and he expects to return home
some time during May 1t is believed
here that Judge Day of Canton, who was
first slated for the position, strongly
recommended that the president appoint
Nj. Calhoun.
