A Fine Flag.

A fine Irish flag is on exhibition in
the windows of Kelly & Pollard. 1t
was ordered by the Hibarnian society
from the Sisters at St. Joseph's AGA
deny, and is q remarkably excellent
specimen of workmanship.
1t is made OF heavy green silk 5x8 #.
in size, bordered with golden colored
silk fringe. On one side is the Irish
harp, surrounded by q luxuriaut
wreath of the tre-foil, enclosing the
motto Erin go brach," all in golden
silk work.. On the other side is the
sunrise of Ireland's prosperity in colors
in very neat design. The banner cost
the Hibernians 1925, and will be car
ried by them proudly in the ST. Pa
tricks day procession.
One of the sisters explained the
meaning and value of the shamrock or
tre-foil. When ST. Patrick, a French
man, not an Irishman. was sent over
from France to evaoPelize the Irish,
he was asked by the king of Tara to
explain the meaning of the Trinity.
Picking up a shamrock, the evangelist
used that as an illustration of 1.-THE
three in Oue." The French prescher's
effort was happy one aud succeeded:
ADD ever since then, the shamrock has
bad a special aud valuable Specification
with the Irish.

Good Word for Ell PasO.

W. G. Crush and Henry Hamilton of
Dallas who were in the city recently
after being in the turn over of the Pull
man car on the Mexican Central, have

welcomed, and both had good word
to say for Ell Paso. In an interview
with the Dallas News Mr.. Hamilton
says:
"Wheu the pews spread at Ell Paso
that Mr.. Crush and myself were at the
hotel badly used up individuals we re-
ceived many attentions AID courtesles
from DR.. w. M. Yandell, Chas. Davis,
w. j. Jewell. ST Ryan, Doc Albers,
Juan Hart and other citizens of that
city. They sent us flowers, medicines,
liquors, cigars. dainties of all sorts aud
made our stay as pleasant as possible.
The people of Ell Paso are certainly
the most hospitable it has ever been
my fortune to meet up With. Ell Paso
is the town if you are sick or wounded.
They are the cleverest people and the
best nurses to be found in the south
west"
'.Iu the beautiful cemetery.at Ell Paso
sleeps Dr. Holland, father of ex-Mayor
Frank Holland of this city. Messrs.
Hamilton and Crush visited the ceme-
terry while at Ell Paso and decorated the
crave with flowers as a mark of respect
and on sccount of their friendship for
the son."

ashore Acres" that beautiful stage
poem, which has gained more favor
in the theatrical world than any pas
toral play within memery, will be the
attraction at the opera house Friday
night, it's talentauthor James A iHerne
appe airing in his original creation of
Nathaniel B=rry. This is Mr.. Herne's
sixth consecutive season in this famous
play and the fortune he has gained
from it is justly deserved. AS a picture
of domestic life it is doubtful II this
play has ever been equaled. Its story
is told so simply and naturally that one
cannot help being inter sted in its I'M
folding. Its characters come and 90
as people do in life. The children,
there are five of them, are not dragged
into the piece but belong there and
they act just as children do at home.
1t has been said that ''Shore Acres"
is womsn's and perhaps it is. Wo-
men certainly are extremely fond of it,
but so is almost every one that has
been fortunate enough to see it.

MERITED SUCCESS
Attends tho Efforts of q Former Ell
PaSOan in Busy Seattle.

eDoOOAA III DACJ H1SeDOo>s
A. D. Whiteside, late manager Of
pany of this city, but who is now 10
Gated at Seattle, WASH, writes friend
here q few impressions of what he
terms s'the queen city of the west:''
After q very pleasant trip I arrived
here and found this to be busy, bust
ling city Of about Is, 900 people with a
good prospect of it's having $50. 900 in
three years or less, perhaps. The
"Klondikers" are rushing in and leav-
ing in great numbers for the frozen
north. This is undoubtedly the best
point to select an outfit for prospecting
in Alaska. as there is every conceiv-
able thing person needs, and at rea-
sonable prices.
"It rains a great deal here in the
winter months, but it is rot cold, and
the grass is green and growing. The
city. is built on succession OF hills,
the ground sloping gradually back for
five miles to Lake Washington. I am
very pleasantly situated in a suite OF
rooms from which have grand view
of the bay, and can watch incoming
and outgoing vessels at will. Living
| /. cheaper here than in Ell Paso
Breakfast can be had for 10 cents, and
a French dinner, which includes pint
bottle of claret wine, only costs Is
cents. My suite OF rooms cost me only
100 per week.
| sPolitically the Pops are the second
party in the state. In fusion with the
democrats and silver republicans, they
carried the state and this county in
the last election.
| 1.-THE papers report every day OF new
fields where nuggets are found in plen-
ty in Alaska and CD rivers and creeks
in British Columbia. One man claims
he found a trifie of $50. 600 in one day
| There is no doubt but what there Is
plenty of gold up there, but I am salts
| fed to remain in business in this great
ontf1ttinP point. I am doing very well,
epjot ing myself, and can only hope my
friends In the busting metropolis OF
the Lone Star state are similarly en-
lowed"
The many trends of Mr.. Whiteside
| will be much pleased to learn of his
success in estab' FISHING himself 80
quickly and advants geously in a grow
ing city such as Seattle is, and all
bespeak for him that success which
usually attends the efforts put forth by
one who is not only conservative, but
geutlemanly and courteous at all times
| in all business relations.

J. j. Sherrier of Ysleta with 9th er
citizens of that section has q good
word to say for the rangers. He says
it would be impossible for good c,ti-
zens to We down there but for the
rangers, and he hopes the legislature
will ct up on its attempts to abandon
the service. There are mary thieves
and outlaws travelling along the river

gers, there is no telling how badly

the mem oers of the house who don't
relish the idea of not having a gerter al

TRACTION CO.'S PETITION
To Become Defendant to Prohibition
 Writ Was Granted. ,

Judge Wilkerson, of the city court, yes- terday granted the petition of the Birming- ham Traction company to be made party defendant to the writ of prohibition issued against the commissioners appointed by Special Judge E. H. Cabaniss to condemn the Church street crossing at Woodlawn and assess the damages that would result to the Birmingham Railway and Electric company. Under this decision the Traction company will be allowed to make bond un- der the writ of supersedias, allowing the commissioners to proceed with the work.
 The entanglement which resulted from the resignation of two of the commissioners several days ago will be strengthened out it is said by the reappointment of the gen tlemen who resigned under the impression that the commissioners would not be able to accomplish the end for which they were appointed.
