Lately a French financier, also Of Hebrew extraction and native of German town, though naturalized in France, paid him visit at his Co., logne bank, bent on a stroke of busi- ness in which he needed the aid of Baron Oppenheim, whose financial in- f1uenee along the Rhine is almost par amount.

BEWARE OF FRAUDS.
There Will Be Many of Them
Appealing for Your
Patronage.

Already there are evidences that this
city will soon be the objective poin, Tor
many of those philanthropic merchants
who will give one suit of clothes with
every pair of suspenders purchased.
There are now here houses advertising
suits made to order for less than the cost
of the goods-nit.
When any of our readers want to make
a purchase they should patronize those
merchants and houses that employ home
labor and endeavor to enhance the bust
ness prosperity of Louisville. There is
more deception practiced in the clothing
business than in any other line, and when
a suit of clothes is desired they should be
procured from Walsh, Kleiderer, Matt
VIM, Moran & Long, Borntraeger, or
any of the other many reliable mer-
chants who employ Louisville tailors at
remunerative wages and do not have
their work done in the sweat shops OF
New York.
Many have been deceived and they
want their friends to know that better
suits can be had for the money from the
dealers in ready-made clothing than are
furnished by those houses without home
that are pulling the public leg for the
benefit of English and Scotch products.

POLITICAL SENSATION.
Warrants Sworn Out for the
Arrest of John J. Keane
and Others.

Warrants were issued Thursday by
Judge MCGEE against John J. Keane, the
Democratic Committeeman for the Tenth
ward, upon the complaint of Harry Bur-
nett, a Republican, who charges him with
violation of the registration laws. War
rants were also issued for the arrest of
Joe Connaughton, Mike Connolly and
Arthur Shoemake, charged with aiding
i'll illegal registration and registering
illegally.
The announcement of the foregoing
caused considerable talk in political cir
Giles. The consensus of opinion is that
there must be mistake as to the charges
against Keane, who states that they are
without any foundation whatever, as he
was connected in no manner with any
such transaction as alleged, and he is at
loss to understand the motive.
John Keane is warm and enthusiastic
supporter OF his party friends, but those
who know him will not believe that he
has resorted to any violation of the law.

FROM NEW YORK.
The Gallant Sixty-Ninth Regi-
ment in the New York
Parade.

Newton G. Rogers, the we'll known
attorney, returned from New York City,
where he witnessed the great Dewey
parade last week. When asked his opin-
ion he stated that words were inadequate
to describe its grandeur and magnitude
--one would have to see it to properly
appreciate it. The military display sur
passed anything ever witnessed in this
country. The gallant Irish Sixty-ninth
of New York City and the Pennsylvania
soldiers, who appeared without their
guns, were vociferously cheered all along
the line, while the dude stay-at-hom
Seventh was roundly Missed. People in
the leading hotels cheered, but the misses
rose above the cheering. The members
looked neither to the right nor to the
left. but marched steadily on. In strik-
ing contrast was the reception rendered
the Sixty-ninth, which received an ova-
ton along the route of march. Mr..
Rogers says no body of men ever pre-
scented more soldierly appearance.
When the white hats and green plumes
of the band at their head came in sight
the cheers that greeted them showed the
affection of the populace for the regiment
that SO promptly went to the front while
the more wealthy one skulked. They
wore handsome dark blue sack coats and
pants of lighter shade of the same color
and their marching was perfect.
Rear Admiral Schley and Gov. Roose-
welt divided the honors of the day with Ad-
miral Dewey, while Sampson was treated
to a decidedly cool reception. People
along the route fairly rose at Schley and
shouted "Hurrah for the hero of Santi
ago, "There is the man that smashed
Cevera's fleet, " and "Hurrah for Schley,'
Speaking of the arches, he said they
were both unique and handsome although
very massive, and it would be a pity
were they not preserved.
Mr.. Rogers also visited the Olympus
and other war vessels anchored at Temp
kinsville, and no one saw more of the
great celebration than he did.

RESTORE The LAND TO The PEOPLE

On Sunday meeting under the aus
pices of the United Irish League was
held at the Hill of Oran, about midway
between Castlerea and Roscommon, says
late number of the Dublin Independent.
The meeting was largely attended and
there was much enthusiasm. The chair
was taken by the Rev. John Deheny, of
Ballinahiglish.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
calling on all the Nationalist of Ros-
common to join hands cordially tor the
advancement of the interests of the United
Irish League and expressing delight at
the very satisfactory progress of the
United Irish League in this part of the
country; that the work of the Congested
Districts Board can not afford a satisfac-
tory remedy for the condition of the West
until the entire province OF Connaught is
made a schedule district, with view to
the purchase for the peoples benefit the
enormous grazing tracts of Roscommon,
which are at present denuded of popula-
ton; pledging themselves to put down
that accursed eleven months system
which has enabled landlords to deprive
the people of the lands, and that they
wonld accept no settlement of the land
question as final which does not provide
the laborers in town and country with
comfortable homes and acre allotments.
Mr.. John p. Hayden, NJ. p, said the
object of their meeting was to plant the
people of that country on the green fields
they saw around them, and from which
landlordism had driven them The land
should be divided up into reasonable
sized holdings, affording the means Of
livelihood to those for whom it was Gre
ated, and thus prevent the necessity for
so many of their people to leave these
shores and find themselves in sceues of
misery, degradation, and even of crime,
to which they we're forced.
James O'Kelly, NJ. p, William O'Brien
and the Rev. B. Geraghty also addressed
the meeting.

IRISH TO THE FRONT.
Nearly Every Country the
Scene of Their Rise
to Power.

Nearly every civilized country in the
world has been the scene. of the rise to
power and influence of one or more Irish.
men. Although prevented at home for
several centuries from holding offices,
they have gone out into the world and
proven to be irrepressible, rising to emf
hence and power in almost every land
under the sun, says the Duluth Herald.
1t was an Irishman who liberated Chile
and the name of O'Higgins is as much
revered in that country as the name OF
Washington is in the United States.
Until a recent date an Irishman had
ruled for years with unquestioned au-
thority as sovereign of zap, one of the
Caroline islands.
Three Presidents of the United States,
Monroe, Polk and Buchanan, were sons
of Irish immigrants, and it has been a
subject of dispute as to whether Andrew
Jackson was born in Ireland or America.
The number of men of Irish blood who
have been Governors of our States, Sena-
tors, Congressman, cabinet officers, and
who have filled other high political Offices
in this country is legion.
Washington had no better Generals
than the Irishmen Mad Anthony Wayne
and Sullivan. On both sides of our civil
war there were many thousands of Irish
soldiers and some of the most efficient
officers of each army were Irishmen.
1t took an Irishman to defeat Napoleon
Ireland has given several Prime Minister:
to England. a Prime Minister to Austria
and President to the French republic.
An Irishman has sat on the Viceregal
throne of India and the Duke of Teutuan,
one of the most illustrious of living
Spaniards, is of direct Irish descent, his
real name being O'Donnell. Byron de-
clared that an Irishman (Sheridan) had
won the double distinction of writing the
best comedy and making the most elo.
quent speech in the English language.
The commander-in-chie of the British
army today, Lord Wolseley, is an Irish
man.
All of which facts are recalled by the
announcement that the Winnebago In
dams have elected an Irishman as chief
of their tribe.

Both Boats Made Fine Show
ing, Each Leading at
Times.
Confidence Growing That the
Trophy Will Remain i'm
America.
THIRD TRIAL WILL Be MADE TODAY

of Sandy Hook during the past week
have been taking place the greatest yacht
races of the century. The cup for which
the Shamrock and Columbia are racingis
the most important if not the most costly
yachting trophy that has ever been con-
tested for. From mere prize in an open
regretta, which it was on that memorable
August day in 1851, it has become fea-
ture in yachting circles.
The Columbia is acknowledged to be
the fastest yacht ever built in America,
while the Shamrock is far and away the
best yacht that has ever sailed in quest of
the much sought-for prize.
The first of the races was sailed off
Sandy Hook Tuesday before a vast crowd.
Before the finish line was crossed the
wind lulled and the yachts were not able
to finish within the time limit During
the five and one-half hours of racing the
Shamrock proved herself a formidable
contender for the America cup, which
has remained here for almost half a cen
fury.
Thursday S attempt was but repetition
of the previous one, and the followers of
both boats feel confident of winning the
trophy. The third attempt will be made
today, when all America hopes for the de-
feat of the boat from across the pond.
The races will continue till one of the
boats has won three victories They will
take place next week on Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday if today's effort proves
a failure.

One of the best and most quiet spots in

Deepen, it has become not only library,
but resting place from the noise and
hustle of the streets. The custodian, Mr..
Thomas Justa, is always attentive and
willing to assist in any manner all who
come to the hall In fact, it would not
be st. Francis Hall without Mr.. Justa,
and no enc can truthfully say aught
against the custodian.
