grand domain, marked by a large accession
to our membership roll and to our roster

| good in community and is entitled to the
| respect and confidence of people represent
ing, as does ours, a high conception of what
| an advanced civilization demands of men.
| This success cannot be attributed to the
| efforts or influence of any mau or cOtere of
men, nor to the discovery of any new means
for the securing of it. 1t is the result of the
united efforts of our loyal Pytlans, earnest
in their purpose of advancing the best in
terestS OF our order"

The Battle=Cry at Manila Bay.

Protected by their forts they lay,
Secure, they thought, within the bay
Sinceinone Cavities guns would brave
With all their ships upon the wave.
The morning sun revealed a sight
Which blanched each Spanish cheek wit
fright
The Yankee squadron there to meet
Cavities guns and all their fleet
A Spanish shell. with scream and tea,
Burst DER Olympias deck, in air
From keel to turret, the refrain
Rang out, Remember now the Name"
And every lip set firm and tight,
AS barred each ready arm for fight.
A master-spirit in command,
Each gunner true and firm of hand,
Those crashing broadsides, roar on roar,
Thundered aloud o er sea and shore;
Each belching lannon's awful fire
Hurting destruction wide and dire,
Till, one by one, those ships of Spain
Went down beneath that iron rain;
Nor ship nor man nor masthead true,
Before the Yellow bowed the Blue;
And from his MONDAY height the sun
Beheld glorious victory won.
And over all Manila Bay,
Flew Stars and Stripes at close of day,
And Dewey's men, each nerve a-strain,
Knew they had we'll avenged the Maine!

Plea to Keep Money Here.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star;
While we are all deeply interested in the
subject of the telephone, gas, electric light
and other abuses, let a citizen and a busi-
ness man draw attention through the COL
umns of your valued paper to one abuse
that has not SO far been touched on, but
which deserves the consideration Of every
business man in the city Of Washington.
1t is the abuse of power too often exercised
by those who control the placing Of work
that should in all justice and right be given
to local houses. Here we have big local
institutions that annually give from $500 to
$1,000 worth Of all classes Of work to out
of-town concerns without SO much as In
tutions draw their revenues from, and,
may say, are entirely supported by, local
patronage. Yet when 1t Is in their power
to encourage and foster home industries
they do not SO much as let 1t be known that
they have such work to place, but send II
to out-of-town houses, thus taking not only
money out of Washington, but discourag-
ing those of us who are trying to make
Washington the commercial city that from
its position In the list OF great cities, it de-
serves to be. Let me ask. is this righto
furnish as good work and material as any
in the world If they are given the chance;
and II the money that Is annually taken out
OF Washington were placed here, the effect
would naturally be to decrease the cost of
production and to enhance the business
possibilities OF our capital city. I trust
that you will give this matter space, as it
surely deserves an investigation.

I do not know OF case" Judge Bradley
then took occasion to remark from the
be more deeply congratulated in being rid
Of such a man as that. Lynching, prob
ably. would be better than putting the
government to the expense of keeping and
hanging that brute"
In view Of the increasing lawlessness In
the country and the frequency with which
lynchirgs take place, We are Of the opin-
Ion that such indiscreet and uncalled-for
language Is not only unbecoming in one
who occupies such responsible and cx-
a)ted position in the community, but that
1t has tendency to both encourage and
ccndone that disregard for the sacredness
of human life which every law-abiding cit
izen deplores. In our humble opinion, had
these words been uttered in a community
deprived of the protection of the strong
arm Of the law there is every reason to
believe that they would have led TO that
violation of the law which has SO generally
dfcgraced our American civilization.
If Judge Bradley has been correctly re-
ported, we humbly submit that he not only
ought to recall the words attributed to
him as unsuited to a high judicial Office.
he should not act as judge in a crimin II
court.

Proposed Organization of Mcmillan
Cadets at Congress Heights.

Proposed Organization OF Mcmillan
Cadets at Congress Heights.
Mr.. r. H. Jordan, superintendent Of the
M. E. Sunday school at Congress Heights,
and veteran of two wars. says he will
again tender his services to the govern
ment in the event of hostilities between
the United States and Spain.
Mr.. Jordan was a musician in both the
Mexican war and during the late unpleas-
antness, and was honorably discharged
from each service only when the need for
his services had ended.
Ths example of Mr.. Jordan's patriotism
has had its effect among the people of his
section, and steps have already been taken
to organize a military company, to be
known as the Mcmillan Cadets, in honor.
Of Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the Dis
trict committee, who has, on many occa-
sions, shown himself to be a sincere friend
of the District Of Columbia.
A drill master will be secured as soon as
the organization is perfected, and nothing
will be left undone to bring the command
to high state of efficiency. Already a
number of young men have informed those
having the matter in charge Of their in
tention to unite with the proposed COM
pany, and 1t Is believed that no difficulty
will be experienced in recruiting the men,
bership to the maximum number author
lied by law.
There are assurances that many young
men in the adjoining section of Maryland
will also volunteer In the Mcmillan Cadets.

In such high honor The armory was dec
GRATED with American and Irish flags, and
everywhere the significant shamrock was
apparent.
The celebration took the form of q
sn oksr, and this informality made the
evening particularly enjoyable. Much en-
thusiasm was shown the speeches and the
arraignments of Great Britain for its treat
ment Of the Irish people Wers greeted with
tumultuous applause.
President r. S. Downing Of Division No.
2 opened the proceedings with a beat
speech of welcome. in which he dwelt lpon
the benefits arising from such organizations
to Irishmen. Their loyalty to the country
of their birth and their adoption was de-
scribed forcibly.
Representative James Hamilton Lewis of
Washington was then introduced. He was
received with great applause, which in
creased at intervals during his remarks.
He denounced Great Britain for attempting
to draw the United States into an alliance
now, which would be burdensome to the
American people in the future, and he ap-
pealed to all Irishmsn to prevent the con-
summation Of such an alliance.
Representative John F. Fitzgerald spoke
In the same strain, and in the course of
his remarks drew picture of Ireland in
Its dark days. comparing it with the Cuba,
OF today, and saying its conditions ware
worse.
Other entertaining addresses were made
by Mr.. P. s. Cunniff OF this city and Ccn-

go off. Mr.. Shreexe then ran out Of his
office, with the defendant pursuing until
Williams was stopped by Officer, Peck.
Officer Van Horn. whose attention was
attracted by the noise at the shooting, said
that Williams stated at the patrol box,
while waiting for the wagon. that it was a
good thing for both Shreeve and himself
that the pistol missed when he tried to fire
1t the. second time, Later the latter said
he had nol Ill will against Mr.. Shreeve and
that the pistol was discharged accidentally
by being caught Ia the lining Of his coat.
The defendant made no statement in

claimed that a. constable, at the instance
