Preparing for The l7th.
Irishmen of Calumet
Realize the Day Is
Drawing Near.
Anniversary Of Saint Patrick
To he Appropriately Celebrated I'm
Copperdom's MetroDells-rasher
Cleary 10 Make an Address.

Next Thursday is the day OF all days In
the year dear to the hearts Of all Hibern-
ians the world over and the Irishmen OF
Calumet are not going to be a little bit
in the rear OF the procession, for the ar
rangements which are now going on will
certainly result in monster celebration.
The indications are that the attendance
from the other towns OF the county will
be large and all that is looked for to
make the big parade a success Is the
weather, which is additionally bad, ex-
cept when the county celebration is held
at Calumet, when 1T has always been
good.
Rehearsals for the play which will be
given by local talent on that occasion,
are going steadily on and great improve
meut is being made by various members
OF the cast.
Father Cleary, who is to be the princi-
pal speaker. is now on a lecture tour in
other parts OF the State and is creating a
profound sensation wherever he speaks.
His address is sure to be a pleasing one.
The big sheet posters which have been
put out advertising the days doings
have attracted no little attention.
In addition to the 18th being the ami
versary day of st. Patrick, the celsbra
ton this year has another and import
ant significance with the Irish people, for
il ia the centennial of the memorable war
for liberty of 179S, when so many Irish
heroes gave their lives for their country.
The ladies are preparing TO assist in
the celebration here and will serve supper
at 3 in the evening until midnight aud
dinner at noon for those who wish,

and the children, or some of them, iQ some way; and this, for aught we cak and the beer. There is nothing in the law to restrict a man to one mode of homicide, as there is in respect to duplic- ity in pleading. At any rate, it Is a mat ter in which the commonwealth alone is interested. to the extent of the value of the knife as a deodand. We cannot stop the administration of justice for 6 cents.
 Another objection urged to this convic- tion is that 1t nowhere appears that the judge who tried the case was duly com missioned by the Governor. Of some things the court is supposed to be in pro- found ignorance until instructed by coun- se1: but this is not one of them. Whether or not we find time to read the cleo tion returns, we are judicially bound to recognize the existence of our brethren of the inferior court. t;
 The third error Is somewhat more de- serving of consideration. The prisoner, as called up for sentence, What he had to say why judgment should not be pro- nounced,' etc., instead of Whether he had anything to say, etc The forms Of administration are doubtless the life Of the law. Except through them we have no means of ascertaining the law. itself. A judge who should substitute his own guilty of the grossest injustice to suitorS and the community. But we are unable to discover in the present case any very important variation from established us- age. It is true that the form used here is rather abrupt and contains an implied sarcasm. Still the meaning was substan- tially conveyed and the ends of justice sufficiently served.
 In the case of Sergeant vs. Coffin, F Mass. 315, 1t was properly decided that an erection in a navigable river was nui- sance; and in Smith vs Mildmaise Adm, 31 Ala. 40, 1t was held that notice to the indorser of a note of its. dishonor might be waived. l need not refer to the rule in Shelley'S case, nor to the well-Known Woodwork Patent case of Wilson vs Barnum, How. (U. S.), 253. These and other decisions, which it would be mere pedantry to cite, show that the plaintiff in error has no cause to complain Of the charge on the court.
 The other errors are merely .supernu- meraries. joined to the principal charac- ters in order to give them an air of ficti- tious importance on the stage. We shall do the prisoner no wrong by disregarding them. A criminal at his trial plays at pitch and toss with the law for his life, and, if he loses. he must pay the stakes It is too late to contest here the minor points of the game which ought to have been settled as it went on.

If there are cakes of ice found too impure to turn into the ice house they are permitted to fall over the end of the platform, whither they are carried by the endless apron of an elevator. The cast-off blocks are seized upon by Truckee butchers, saloons and others who store private ice houses with them and use them for refrigerator pur- poses.
 large number of men are required to operate an ice plant, though the sea- son of cutting Is very. short, only about eight days being required to cut for and fill house of the size I have de- scribed. But at this place 150 men were employed. The number of men must be increased, as the ice sheet Is cut away from the vicinity of the ice house and as the Hume is extended to the farther end of the lake, requiring more men at the Hume stations to shove the blocks along. They move pretty freely, too, for the elevator lifts sixty cakes or about seven tons of ice a minute. The men are paid % cents per hour, and they work eleven hours

them along an incline to the top of the long storage house. Midway the elevator is a planer and steel brush which slaves and cleans off the sur face of the ice as 1t passes, freeing iI of all refuse which may be carried upon the top of it. This storage house is quite an establishment. It is gener- ally about 300 feet long, 100 feet wide and 30 feet high; such a house will hold 10000 tons of ice. There are eight of these houses along the line of the Truckee River. some not quite so large, perhaps, and I estimate that the entire ice crop with which they are stored is about 150,000 tons.
 The elevator continues to drag the blocks of ice, and presently they are carried along level platform and past doorways, opposite which men stand with iron prongs; as. the blocks pass they are thrust off the platform into the door, when quickly they disappear down slide into the interior of the house. The alternate tenth block is selected by the first man on the plat form, the others pass on to the other men with prongs at the other doors.

 The ice harvesting season does not last over eight weeks; but during this tune 1t gives employment to 500 men. The ice plants do not all cut at one tune, for the reason that the ponds do not freeze uniformly. Some with the same degree of cold will freeze quick CT and deeper than others, owing to va nations in the exposure of their re- spectlve positions and as to whether the ponds are fed by the warmer waters or the larger lakes; men, therefore. move from place to place as work at one place is finished and at another it begins. Some plants cut two and even three crops season. but most of them harvest but once, having storage ca- pacity for only one cut.
