GRAY HAIRS TO BE
SAVED FROM SORROW
Every Effort Being Made to Keep the
Aged Parents of Mrs. Botkin
From Knowing Her Disgrace

If the kind intentions of friends and
loving children prevail the last days of
Colonel and Mrs. Brown, the aged par
ents of Mrs. Botkin, will not be sad
dened by the shadow Of crime and scan
dial which involves their daughter.
Since the first publication Of the ac-
cused woman's name In connection with
the Dunning case her sisters have kept
all the newspa pers from reaching their
parents Friends of the family have
been warned not to refer to the trouble
when visiting the old people
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown have long since
passed the allotted span of four-score
years and it is feared by their children
that they would not long survive the
shock which would surely follow a
knowledge of the charge against their
daughter.

A Pioneer Passes Away.

Tilman Knapp, a pioneer resident Of
Hennepfn county, and living for many
years on farm in Richfield township,
just on the border line of the city, and
at the western extremity of Portland
avenue, died Sunday after an illness Of
two weeks, caused by pneumonia. He had
wide acquaintance throughout the
county, where he had lived about 40
years, and had the respect and esteem
of all.
At his bedside when the end came were
his aged life partner and their three chill
dren, Rev. Father Raphael, one of the
professors in st. Johns college, near St.
Cloud, and two daughters, who are of the
sisterhood, and connected with the con-
vent at St. Cloud.
Deceased had reached the allotted span
of life, three score years and ten. He was
one of the founders of St. Joseph's
church and society. Minneapolis, and had
been prominent in its councils for long
period of time.
The funeral took place Tuesday morn
ing, under the auspices of St. Joseph's
society, and requiem mass was celebrated
at st. Joseph's church. Eleventh avenue
north and Fourth street, at $50 o'clock.
The remains were consigned to their last
resting place in st. Mary's cemetery.

terry, the following acting as pall-bear-
ers: John Tracy, Thomas McCauley,

and John O'Connell.
The deceased was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Darcy, of Cahill settlement,
Richfield township, this county, and was
universally respected as an upright citi-
zen and an exemplary Catholic. He
owned farm of 800 acres near. Murdoch
Swift county, where he resided when his
health began to fail some three years
ago, when he returned to his mothers
home to recuperate and receive proper
medical attendance. Later he came to
this city with his wife, who was Miss
Margaret Walsh, of De Giraffe but the
best medical skill failed to benefit him
and he gradually lost vitality until
finally death released him from his suf-
fering, which he bore patiently to the
end. His demise will be sincerely re-

At tbs Biiou,

There will be presented at the Bijou
next week an attraction that will COM
mand more than ordinary attention, and
the attraction is "a Contented Woman"
according to all reports the best and
most successful comedy of that popular
playwright. Charles Hoyt. AS a rule,
Mr. Hoyt never relies much upon plots Or
stories for a foundation of his comedies,
but in the case of "a Contented Woman"
he has cleverly woven a well-defned plot
and interesting story, with many anus
ing complications following one upon the
other, and which are happily worked out
in Hoyts most humorous vein. The
story is based upon the law recently
passed in some of the far Western states
giving the fairer sex the right to vote,
and making them eligible for municipal
Offices
The piece is in four scenes, all of
which are laid in Denver, and the seen
cry used in the production is said to be
the most pretentious Mr.. Hoyt has ever
presented. Every particle of the scenery
and all the stage accessories, even to the
rugs and bric-a-brac, in fact, everything
necessary to make the presentation here
identical with that given in New York,
will be brought from Hoyt's theater.
The cast is said to be one of the strong
est ever seen in Hoyt comedy, headed
by Miss Belle Archer who is credited
with being the most beautiful woman
upon the American stage.
Hoyt's plays have a strong hold upon
theater-goers, and dcsarvbdly so, for he
has always kept faith With!the public on
the "road," and gives the smaller cities
the same performance thel same cast and
scenery, as he presents In New York.
This. no doubt, is one ofsthe secrets of
his great success, for theGpublic are al
ways willing to patroniza liberal man
agement. g 10

Death of A Faithful Catholic

On Tuesday of last week noble soul
whose memory deserves notice, passed
into the great beyond Stephen Leh-
man, who died at his home, go Eleventh
avenue north, ON the 18th inst. was a
faithful Catholic and 1t was his devotion
to mother church that prompts the
writer to pay this brief tribute to his
memory:
Mr.. Lehman was born in Germany in
1886 and when a youth of 10 he turned
his face toward the republic of the west,
landing at Detroit, Mich, where he re-
manned for several years and where on
June IS. 1863. he married Miss Gertrude
Millin, who survives him. Their union
was blessed with thirteen children. six of
whom are living, viz: John, Theodore.
William, Andrew, Benjamin and Kate.
In 1865 the deceased came to Minnesota
and settled at St. Peter, where he resided
to 1888, thence moving to Fairfax, Rem
vile county. In the last four years his
health broke down and in the hope of
getting relief he moved with his sons to
this city, but medical skill was power
less to help him, and as the end ap-
preached he resigned himself to the in
evitable and fortified by the sarcaments
Of the church he calmly expired in the
arms of his faithful wife, Mr.. Lehman
was man of sterling integrity, a good
neighbor, a kind husband and affection
ate father. The latch string of his house
was always on the outside and no way
farer passed without partaking of his
hospitality. On Thursday morning his
funeral took place from st. Josephs
church, where solemn high mass was
celebrated for the repose of his soul.
The officiating priest also accompanied
the remains to ST. Mary's cemetery where
the last rites were performed and all that
was mortal of my genial, true-hearted
friend was laid away among the leafless
elms to await the resurrection. C. G.

Irishman of Terre Haute. Ind, says the
Boston Pilot.

He was, says the correspondent of the
Pilot, the oldest member of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in America, having
been member in good standing for 81
years. He Joined it in Buffers Bridge,
County Cavan. He was a delegate from
Indiana to the national convention of the
order which was held in Louisville, Ky.
He was the authentic historian of the
A. o. H. in America.
His son, John F. O'Reilly, has served
both as state president and state secre-
tary of the order, and is still an active
worker in the cause. Many delegates will
remember his eloquent Grafton at Louis
willie on the origin of the society.
The funeral services were hell at st.
Joseph's church, which was filled with
friends of the old scholar and barrist =.
The eulogy was delivered by Father
Liehner. Three of the four divisions of
the Hibernians in the county. all of
which were instituted by Mr.. OReilly,

THE ORPHANS FAIR.

The Week After Christmnx Will Bc
One ut Great Interest.
What does it mean? Orphans fair.
Why do SO many labor to make it sue
cess, as if they were striving Tor their
own daily bread? What is is the reason
that hands and hearts are opened, and
generous gifts are bestowed on those So
liciting for the orphans fair? Many
come from affair." and more from near, and
make large sacrifices giving what they
want. and. perhaps, need for themselves.
Self is forgotten, and deprivation be-
comes pleasure.
There must be something to arouse
this spirit. this love Of giving without a
prospect Of return.
What are the pleasures of home:
Father and mother. sisters and brothers,
friends. These all make us happy The
thought of them delights lis. 1t is
Thanksgiving day! The fireside is
bright. Merry children play around
They climb upon grandpa's knee. and he
tells them stories of other Thanksgiving
days. of his old playmates, how they
used to make sport and do just as the
little ones now are doing. Fairy tales to
the young! To think of grandpa ever
frolicking around!
The turkey is cooking. and mother has
prepared the cranberries and mince
pies. TO the young what joys can be
equal to these? The table is set dinner
is done, songs and hymns. the children
go out to play, night falls. to bed,
dreaNs, fairies come flying around riding
on turkeys, bringing slcds on new snow,
play blocks and play cars, story-books
and toys. Sleep comes next. Mother
has tucked us in snug. kissed lis good
night. and happy hearts are warm.
Time goes on. A year is past, and oh!
the change! Mother and father are no
more, and grandpa has passed away.
Friends are forgetting, or have forgot
ten all. Alone, a child and forsaken.
Thanksgiving has come. and waif on
the streets begs piteUusly for help. Will
he get it? He sees how joyously the
crowds of boys and girls are spending
their day. Cold and alone he cries him
self to sleep, asleep in a barn. dreary
and desolate. No fairy tale dreams, no
mother. no kiss
Such is Il story of many poor waits.
And that mother has gone is saddest of
all. A thought of this is painful, in
deed. Home has its joys but home is
no home when mother is not there
Ninety young boys have lost these
fond treasures Their home is no more.
Both father and mother are dead. They
are alone and without friends. But no!
they have friends. Their friends are
those who know of their wants. and are
working and giving to keep them from
restitution.
Is there no reason, then why so many
are striving to make the orphans fair
a success? Why hearts and hands are
opened and become generous? Is there
not something that arouses this spirit
and love of giving?
