The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1899-09-23

The relative merits of Scotch and
Irish WHISTLES are now being discussed
by the London papers. The Daily
Telegraph mentions brand which goes
down ones throat like a torchlight
procession" and says it is Irish. The
Freeman's Journal says it is an inferior
Scotch product which was passed off as
Irish and brought discredit on Irish
manufacture. OF course, some Scotch
paper will vehemently deny that state
ment and claim superiority for the
Scotch article. And so it goes in the
United Kingdom.

ELECTION FORECAST,
Collins Claims Over 5000
as His Probable
Majority.

Boston, Dec. 9.-The municipal cam
paign in Boston has reached the stage
of prediction as to the results of next
Tuesdays votes. Tonight wound up
week of intense political excitement
because of the disaffection in the demo-
cratic ranks Despite this later feat
ure, the managers of Gen. Collins can
vass tonight claimed that he would
carry the city by from 5000 to 5000 plu-
rality and with him would be elected
a democratic board of aldermen.
On the aldermanic canvass the demo-
Gratis claim seven members as a GER
tainty with three others probable.
There are 40 aldermanic candidates on
the ballot, an unusual number, so that
it is possible that both democrats and
republicans will get a surprise, through
the strength of the independent vote.
The republicans concentrated their
efforts on the mayoralty and Hon G..
S. Swallow, president of the repub-
lican city committee tonight claimed
that Mr.. Harris chances were good,
and that the democrats were a little
scared over their prospects.
Election day is likely to be the most
exciting Boston has seen for many
years. Ward contests are numerous,
and while throughout the city at large
they have been lost sight of in the ex-
change of personalities, between Gen.
Collins and John r. Murphy, and over
the question of relaying certain car
tracks, they will have a great infu-
ence on the vote in general and the re-
suits in particular.

a prominent grocer and provision deal
er Of this place, committed suicide this

OShaughnessy, visited the barn for
some apples which are stored there, and
found Mr.. Gleason lying on the floor
with a revolver by his side and a bullet
wound in his temple.
The body was lifeless when found.
NO cause can be given for the act ex-
cept that the dead man has been suf-
terlng from nervous trouble brought on
by oVerwork. Mr.. Gleason leaves a
widow and three daughters, Carrie E.
Of New York, daughter by his first
wife, Lillian E., Is years of age, and
Beatrice, years old, both of South

March %, 1S43, and has been in business
since 1860. He has been prominent in
social circles, as well as among the
business people. Mr.. Gleason is a past

COMMITTEE SITS.
Roberts, the Mormon, De-
tends Himself Wig
orously.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The considera-
ton of the case of Mr.. Roberts of Utah
was resumed at 10 o'clock this morning
by the House investigating committee,
Mr.. Roberts being present to plead to
certain specific interrogatories which
had been framed. The proceedings
continued behind closed doors.
Mr.. Roberts was first asked if he
conceded the existence of the court rec
ord wherein he pleaded guilty in 1890
under the Edmunds Tucker law.
This he conceded. He was next
asked whether about 1890 or since 1890
he had married plural wives and had
lived with them since that time as
wives.
To the whole of this charge Roberts
pleaded not guilty and then demurred
to the Jurisdiction of the committee for
the following reasons:
First-On the ground of violation of
constitutional rights in that it attempt
ed to try him for a crime without pre-
sentiment of indictment by grand jury
and without trial before a jury and
due process of law.
Second-That it was an attempt TO
deprive him of vested property that
for the full term.
Third-That the only evidence that
could be rightfully considered in the
committee was a court record estab-
fishing the guilt, confessed or proved,
of the epresentative-elect and that
the committee had no right to consider
any other evidence
Fourth-That the crime alleged, that
of unlawful cohabitation, even if
proved
clent crime to bar a member or deprive
MIN of his seat, because innocence of
polygamy or unlawful cohabitation is
nowhere enumerated in the constitu-
ton as qualification for the office Of
member of congress, nor is it named
IN any United States law applicable to
Utah or any other state
MI. Roberts urged these points for
nearly two hours, referring to law books
and answering questions. 1t was a legal
controversy throughout. The facts were
| not being gone into at length Mr. Rob-
erts concluded by asking that his prima
Lacle right to a seat be at once consid-
cred. as the present status denied to a
sovereign state representation in the
house at time when injurious legisla-
tlon affecting that state might take
place
Mr.. Schroeder said it could be estab-

and is now maintaining the status of a
poiygamist; that in 1889 he pleaded
guilty of unlawful cohabition and has
since that time continued in that rela-
ton specifically. Mr.. Schroeder said it
could be established that there had re-
Gently been born children to his polyga-
nous wives, among them being twins,
born to Celia Dibblee Roberts, the re-
puted second wife of the congressman
elect
He suggested that Miss Adah Rob-
erts, daughter of Mr.. Roberts, was now
in the city and might be available as a
witness.
The first of the public hearings in the
Roberts case began at 2 o'clock. At that
hour the committee room was crowded
with members, representatives of the
press and delegation representing the
Gentle element of Utah. Mr.. Roberts
sat at the foot of the long committee
table with documents piled up before
him. His secretary was near at hand,
bringing him books and other data of
reference.

Bankrupt.

New York, Dec. 9.-In the United
States district court in Brooklyn, Judge
Thomas today appointed John B. Lord
of Brooklyn receiver to act for the pc
titioners who have legally applied to
the federal authorities to have Will
liam f. Miller of the Franklin syndi-
cate adiudged an involuntary bank
rupt Mr.. Lord is already acting for
the state in a similar capacity on the
appointment of Supreme Court Justice
Smith.
Application was made today to Judge
Thomas for an injunction restraining
the court from granting the applica-
ton. United States District Attorney
Petit opposed. He urged that as the
postmaster had fully complied with the
fraud order, an injunction would be of
no purpose. The government, he
contended, had a perfect right to pNe-
vent the syndicate from receiving the
mail held back as satisfactory proof
of irregularity had not been wanting.
The court designated Tuesday next as
the day when it would accept briefs

Arrangements for the municipal cleo

democratic city committee met last
night, gave out street railway tickets

for hacks to get out the vote. The re-
publican city committee meets tomor-
row night for a like purpose.
There are but two things that inter
est the citizens in the election. First
and foremost is the fight of the demo-
cratic candidates for aldermen. The
other is the license question. The demo-

their bootlegs and are prepared to take

didates nominated for the board of
aldermen at the democratic municipal

KISSES AT AUCTION.

Last May the little village of New
Richmond, Wisconsin, was destroyed
by one of the most violent cyclones
which ever struck the northwest.
Nearly 200 people were killed, and the
rest of the population was rendered
homeless and destitute. The response
to the need was prompt and generous.
Food and clothing was sent from all
over the country. Helen Gould sent
her check for $3.50 The chorus girls
of the Boston Lyric Opera Company,
which was playing in Minneapolis at
the time, decided they must do some
thing. 1t was proposed that they auc-
