ST.. PATRIOK's COLLECTION.
Father Carroll Thanks His Parish,
'fpnera and Tells of the Years PDans

fcners and Tells of shc Years PDans.
Father Carroll announced yesterday at
the various masses at ST. Patrick's R. c..
Church tina the Christmas collection had
amounted to $3.50. just $50 less than had
been asked for. The rector thanked the
congregation for its generosity and said
that the sun given this year was fully
equal to that of last Christmas. This is
very remarkable as the formation of All
Saints parish cut off more than three
thousand parishioners from st. Patrick's.
Father Carroll says the coming year will
be a busy one, as the parish has in con-
temptation the building of a parochial
school and a lyceurn and the preparation
of athletic grounds for the men and play
grounds for the children.

Chauncey Olcott, sweet voiced and
graceful. will be the attraction at the
Academy OF Music this week. Two OF
Mr.. Olcott's strongest plays Will be the
programme for the week, and they will
be presented with the finest company of
players thar has ever surrounded this
popular star. "Mavourneen' will be
given the first three nights and Wednes-
day matinee. The production has been
equipped with new scenery this season,
and is more handsomely mounted than
ever. THE Minstrel of Clare will be
the bill for the latter half of the week,
and as it will be the first performance Of
that play in this city, it will be hailed
with some degree Of interest. 1t is a
modern Irish play, dealing with the agri-
cultural element during the middle part
of the last century. 1t relates the adj
ventures Of a young Irish-Anaerican, Lar
ry O'Lynn. who has returned to ireland
to claim a legacy in the shape Of a vast
estate in the County Glare. He finds
the place occupied by q brother OF the
deceased and the incumbent Is crushing
out the owner Of a small farm adjoining,
in order to improve the property BY the
addition of the neighboring land. Larry
discovers in the farmer an old friened OF
his father. and resolves TO protect him.
He, meanwhile, has fallen desperately in
love with the farmers daughter, Nellie,
who after a long siege finally capitulates
and gives him her promise. Larry then
defeats the plans of the schemer, re-
stores the land to the farmer and all ends
well. Mr.. Olcott has a number of new
and beautiful songs in this piece. The
company is composed of Luke Martin,
Daniel Gilfether, Paul Gilmore. Harry
Meredith, w. II. Burton, Joseph LIE
Brasse. Georgia Busby. Eta Baker Mar
tin. Kitty Coleman, Lea Templeton, Mrs.
Washburne, Juliette de Grlgnon. Imo-

The cuban Annexation Mania.

Mr.. Fernando A.. ,Yznaga. in the Janu-
airy Forum" publishes his views on the
.imperative necessity for the annexation
OF cuba to the United States. 1t reads
rather funnily at a time when the Cuban
revolt is manifestly on its last legs. But
the main claim is not any unnier than
the arguments by which it is supported.
Mr.. Yznaga says
It is apparent that a return of order
and prosperity to Cuba can be. secured
only by annexation to the United States.
Granted that this were true, what
of Cuba is no affair of ours. The ques-
ton for the American people and govern
ment is:-sWould annexation promote the
prosperity of the UNITED States in any
way?"
Could Cuba be purchased, the advan-
tages to this country would be enor-
nous. A vast field for American enter
prise and capital would be opened up.
On the contrary. the burden of blood
shed and expense of putting dow peri
od:cal revolts by a jealous, tickle, vain,
idle. false and half barbarous people
would be transferred to US. 1T is doubt
full If our own people could ever popu-
late the island. because they could not
stand the climate. We would simply have
to hold 1t with fire and sword, as Spain
does, until we tired of the task.
Mr.. Yznaga has one more glowing bait
to dazzle US with
The island would easily produce not
only all the sugar w consume but, in q
few Years, all the coffee. The cession OF
Cuba would also remove the large bali
ance of trade against us. incurred BY
the purchase of these articles; for it.
would open a market for at least a hun
dred millions of our products.
Every advantage here offered we could
secure by means Of a rational tariff sys-
tem-the continuation Of tac Wilson sys-
tenn until it works out its legitimate re-
suits, for instance.

PICTURES ARE PERFECT.
Dan Stuart Has Sent the Kinetoscope
Films Of the Big Fight TO Congress
to Be Copyrighted.

New York, May 3.-The sporting pub
lie will be glad to learn that the kinet-
oscope pictures of the Fitzsimmons-
Corbett fight are nearly ready to be
put upon exhibition. Dan Stuart has
a force of experts at work making tie
films night and day.
Each reproduction of the battle takes
up 10000 feet of film.
The plant where Stuart is making
the films is capable of turning out
5000 feet per day. 1t can thus be seen
that it takes two days to turn out ona
reproduction of the battle. Before it
can be put on public exhibition five
copies must be made for copyright pur-
poses. Two of these, or 10000 feet
Of film, have been finished and early
this week were sent to the library CT
corgres to be copyrighted.
The entire force at the plant is now
concentrating it's entire attention upon
turing out the other $4,000 feet, which
will be sent abroad to be copyrighted.
AS soon as this is finished the 10, 900
feet which will be used to reproduce
the battle at the Academy of Music in
this city will be made. Then after
months of weary waiting the thou
sands of people who were no. able to
SO Carson City to see the champions
fight will be able to enjoy the contest
right in the heart of the metropolis of
the country. In the meantime Stuart's
employees will continue to grind out the
film at the rate of 5000 feet per day
and ship it to the four quarters of the
globe for exhibition purposes.
In speaking of the pictures to an
Evening Journal representative Mr.
Stuart said: This talk about the pic
lures being failures is entirely the in
vention of rival companies. The Bio
graph and innumerable other graph
and scope companies have been after
me continually with bids to make some
of the films. AS l know that the proc
ess we have for making and develop
ing them is far superior to any other
method, l naturally will not entertain
such propositions. This caused oul
disappointed rivals to try to injure US
as much as possible.

Port Griffith Murderer Pleads Guilty
and Gets Eleven Nenrs.

Wilkes-B Barre, May 3-John Como
nath, the young Pole who, during a
dance and beer drinking time in Pol
ish boarding house in Port Griffith one
night last winter, stabbed an inno-
cent young Pole to death with butch
er knife, was called in court this af-
ternoon for trial on the charge of MUIR
der. The prisoner, before a jury was
called, pleaded guilty, and Judge Ben
nett, after examining a few witnesses
to guide him in imposing sentence,
directed that Conanath should be sent
to the Eastern penitentiary for a pc
riod of eleven years.
The case of Miller, Jordan and Shaf-
fer, three men who have been in the
county Jail for the past two years,
charged with completely in the noun
tain murder, was called in court this
morning, and the judge allowed nolle
pros, the prisoners being discharged
Internationally. There was not suffi-
cient evidence to warrant the district
attorney bringing the case to trial.
However, the discharged men are liable
at any time to arrest, If new evidence
against them should be found.
