Chris Gallagher, member OF Div.

street cars, and is laid up at his home,
1853 Charles street.
J. ]. Kennedy, the veteran Hibernian
Of St. Paul. we'll known throughout
Minnesota as eX-state president OF the
\. 0. H. and Father OF the Order" is
back from southern Minnesota where
he has been visiting for the past several
weeks.
The Irisll-American and German
American citizens OF St. Paul are con-
templating mass meeting in the near
iuh,rc to express their sympathy with
the Dutch republic of South Africa in
their present struggle against England
i'll defense OF their homes, frcsides and
families, their country and their God as
against the invader OF down trodden and
helpless peoplc-the appcllation which
always SO Justly belongs to the British
wherever they have polluted this globe
for centuries past with their unwclcomc
presence.
Hon w. w. Erwin, the wcllknown
eloquent champion OF labor, addressed
the citizens OF St. Paul at the State
Capitol on last Tuesday evening on the
wrongs perpetratcd on the miners now
in prison at Wardncr, Idaho. The
speaker drew a terrible picture OF the
acts OF the governor OF that state, and
President Mckinley.
P. M. Moroney, of the St. Paul post
office, has received letter from Ireland
advising him OF the very serious illness
Of his brother Mathew, the only remain
ing brother i'll the old land. 1t ap
pears he has had protracted struggle
with his landlord, and in June, 1898, his
cattle were seized for rent and accrued
costs and taken to the north Of Ireland
and sold. A month later he was cvicted
since which time as is usual in cases Of
cvictcd tenants, he and his family OF
eight have occupied small cottage
across from his former comfortable
home, the latter being occupied by po-
lice and emergency men. The scanty
accommodations of the temporary resi-
dence, together with the turmoil of the
long strife, appear to have undermined
a particularly vigorous constitution.
Mr.. Moroney was prominent in Land
League and National affairs in his dis
trict for over twenty years and spent
nine months in Kilkenny Jail in 1881
for his activity i'll the cause. He was
also victimizcd last spring, serving two
months in Clonmel Jail; he was re-
leased on Easter Sunday, for refusing
TO give bonds to keep the peace towards
his landlord and bailiff, he having mere
ly upbraided the landlord for having
seized the cattle in violation OF an agree
ment made with the parish priest Il
month previous, and, the bailiff inter-
fering, he very properly thrashed him.
1t is understood that the landlord now
having done his worst-proposcs a

Commencing tomorrow matinee at
the Grand, comes one OF the biggest
melo- dramatic successes OF the season
in "The City Of New York" which
made such a pronounced hit in the
larger cities Of the East OF the various
dramatic critics in the country, there arc
none who stand higher than DR.. Howe,
of the Washington Star. The Star said,
on Nov. 9: "Thc Academy OF Music"
il sure to be crowded throughout the
week. The rousing reception given
The City OF New York last evening
leaves no doubt that Walter Ressler
knows we'll how to play on the chord OF
popularity. The play abounds with
splendid scenic effects, touches OF real
life which call for the widest enthusiasm
from the galleries, and emotional parts
that visibly stir the audience. There are
strong dramatic effects. The scenes OH
the Bowcry, at Grants Tomb, Clarmont
on the Hudson were exceptionally good,
willie the train wreck worked the audi
encc into high pitch OF excitement"
