Result Will Be Announced at a
General Meeting to Be
Held in January.
A Committee Appointed to Ar
range for the Observance of
st. Patrick's Day.
FRANK CUNNINGHAM MADE CHAIRMAN

During the past six months there has
been a growing sentiment among the
members of the Ancient Order of Hiber.
mans of Louisville that a consolidation OF
the various divisions into one strong body
would be the means of inducing more
persons TO join the order, and also reduce
the expenses incidental to the carrying
on Of the great work for which the So
ciety is organized.
In this city there are now five divisions,
besides the Ladies' Auxiliary and the Hi
bernian Knights. Among the divisions
some are in a very fourishing condition,
financially and numerically, while the
membership of at least one, and possibly
two, has fallen off to quite an extent dur
ing the past year, and how to strengthen
them has been a troublesome problem.
Able arguments have been made pro and
con, and the matter was finally brought
before the County Board, which subse-
quently appointed a committee to con-
slider the matter and report what they
thought the best plan to pursue.
County President Murphy called a
special meeting of the County Board last
Monday night to consider the report of
the committee, which recommended
consolidation, the manner and time to be
determined at a general meeting to be
held in January.
The observance of St. Patrick's day
was also brought before the board, as
there is an almost unanimous feeling that
it should be celebrated on a more elabor-
ate scale than for several years past. AS
March IL falls on Saturday it was decided
TO hold the. celebration on the following
day, Sunday. Upon motion the Presi-
dent was instructed to appoint an execu-
tive committee of five to make the nee
essary arrangements. President Murphy
appointed Messrs. Frank Cunningham,
John Grogan, N. J. Sheridan, John Null
10y and John Keaney as such committee,
which was subsequently organized with
the following officers:
Chairman--Frank Cunningham.
Secretary-John Grogan.
Treasurer-John Mulloy.
1t is the intention of the committee to
make arrangements as soon as possible
for the presentation of some one of the
standard old time Irish plays, which will
be produced at either the Temple Thea
ter or Macauley's. The committee have
resolved to spare neither labor nor ex-
pense to make it success. A number of
pleasing and appropriate numbers will
also be presented between the actsr
There will be a meeting of the full
committee at Hiberniau Hall next We'd
nesday evening, when subcommittee
viii be appointed and work begun in real
earnest.

FRIENDS SURPRISED.
Miss Lille Hutti and Theodore
Scheme United in
Marriage.

A wedding that was a pleasing surprise
to their host of friends was that of Miss
Lille Hutti and Theodore Scheme, which
occurred last Friday evening, Rev. Father
Cunningham, who is a warm personal
friend of the groom, tying the nuptial
knot. The happy bride is the attractive
and accomplished daughter of Philip
Hutti, the well-known Walnut-street
grocer. Since her debut she has been
very popular in West End social circles,
her charming manner and winsome dis
position making her pronounced favor
lite. She has been devout member of
st. Mary's church since her girlhood,
and was one of the most Jealous workers
in Father Westerman's congregation. Mr..
Scheme is a prominent young man in
business and social circles and is held in
the highest esteem by all who know him.
He is associated with his uncle, Fred
Indestroth, on West Broadway. The
young people had been sweethearts for
some time, but their marriage was not
expected to take place till spring, and
the ending of their courtship was thus
not looked for. The ceremony was wit
messed by the immediate friends of both
parties. They are now at home at the
residence of the parents of the bride, 1900
West Walnut street, where they are re-
ceiving the congratulations of their many
relatives and acquaintance. May their
journey through life be happy and sue
cessful one.

firm dealing in spring water sent aboard
the steamship dozen demijohns of water.
On Mr.. Croker's return the same agent
boarded the steamer at Quarantine and
attempted to get from the Tammany
chieftain some favorable expression
regarding the water that he might use
for advertising purposes.
"How did it compare with what you
drank in England" inquired the agent,
when he finally got the ear of the boss.
Mr.. Croker placed his hand on the
agents shoulder and, drawing him close,
whispered.

ask1 Well, I'll tell you, but you must
never breathe it to a soul. They say
that English water is bad, very bad, and

DONAVAN RETURNS.
Gallant Lieutenant Colonel of
the Famous Sixty-Ninth
Regiment.

Col. Sid Gates, the genial Louisville
passenger agent for the Big -Four, re-
ceived letter Tuesday from Capt ]. l..
Donavan. Of the regular army. in which
he states he will return to Louisville next
week to take charge Of the recruiting sta
ton here and the sub-station at Licking
ton.
Capt. Donavan, at the time of the break
ing out of the war with Cuba, was taken
from the Twenty-frst regular infantry
and made Lieutenant Colonel Of the
famous Irish Sixty-ninth of New York.
Upon its being mustered out he returned
to his regiment and was sent to the Phil
ippines, and had he not been wounded at
the battle of Luzon he would have re-
ceived a much higher commission, as his
skill and bravery were known to the War
Department He was sent to New York
to recover, and his hosts of friends, mill
tary and civil, will be glad to learn of his
assignment to Louisville.
Capt Donavan is an Irish Kentuckian,
being native of Springfield, and entered
West Point from that district He was
considered one of the best officers ever
connected with the Sixty-ninth, and his
with the men under him was
almost phenomenal.

DILLON ON UNITY.
Despairs of the Reconstruct
ton of the Irish Parlia-
mentary Party.

Late press dispatches convey the in
formation that John Dillon, M. p, de-
clines to serve on the committee appoint
ed by the Dublin meeting to carry on the
unity negotiations. In letter to Timothy
Healy he says he believes the country
has lost all faith in the possibility of tine
reconstruction of the United Irish Parlia-
mentary party by negotiations between
the members of Parliament.
This action of Dillon's will not add to
his popularity with the Irish people.
They are reported to be fast approaching
that point when they will set aside the
former leaders unless they drop their
fractional differences in behalf of united
people with the purpose of home rule
and the recovery of the lands.

TALON AND REDMOND
Both Expressed Doubt of An
American-Anglo
Alliance.

Daniel Talon, Lord Mayor of Dublin,
and John f. Redmond, M. p, sailed
from New York for home last Saturday
on the Cunard line steamer Campania.
They took back with them about $50, 900
in American money. which will be used
in saving Parnell's house and in erecting
a monument to him in Dublin.
The party arrived at the Cunard dock
about an hour before the Campania sailed,
and the time was spent in bidding fare
we'll to their many friends. The recep-
ton they received was marked by great
enthusiasm. and it was not until the big
liner had pulled away out into the stream
that the cheering ceased.
Both the Lord Mayor and Mr.. Red
rnond spoke of the present situation in
England before sailing. Mr.. Redmond
said:
There is nothing that can say on the
war in South Africa that have not al
ready said. The whole affair is infamous
And as to the report that there is an al
lance between England, America and
Germany, believe that is false. America
il not so foolish"
The Lord Mayor said
81 do not believe that there is an al
lance between this country and England
You are not foolish. England hates
republics, and once before when she was
on the back of the United States you
threw her off. Don't let her get there
again. believe that you will re-
fuse to pull her chestnuts out of the fire.
Let her burn her own fingers. am
sorry to leave this country, for / have
had delightful time while here. )"

Paducah. 1t has done perhaps more
charitable and benevolent work than any
other society in that city, and includes in
its membership many of the leading peo-
pie of that town.
An interesting and largely attended
meeting was held last week, at which
resolutions of sympathy were adopted for
Mr.. and Mrs. Langston and Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Eaker, from whose homes death had
taken daughters, little girl and young
lady respectively.
Jansen Branch owes much of its sue
cess to the progressive spirit and enter
prise of Mrs. John J. Dorian, Mrs. Eugene
Geary, Mrs. Maggie Creery and Miss
Ellen Donigan, the efficient Secretary,
whose labors for the good of its members
are untiring.

HOLY CROSS CHURCH.

During the past month Rev. Father
Cunningham has had extensive repairs
made to Holy Cross church, West Broad
way, until it now has the appearance of
new edifce. The sanctuary. which
has been reprinted and furnished, is one
of the most really handsome ones in the
city, being entirely in white. These i'm
provements are due to the proceeds of
the lawn fete and the earnest work of the
jealous pastor. and are evidences that a
new era Of prosperity has set in in the
West End.

little son, Dominick on his ninth birth
day anniversary. TIE little ones were
coming and going all day, and in the
evening a number of older people called
to congratulate the lad.
He was the recipient of many presents,
some especially handsome ones from his
schoolmates and members of St. Patrick IS
Cadets, of which he is one of the most
valiant members. Young O'Donnell is a
remarkably bright.youth, and his friends
expect him to reach the front in what
ever profession he may choose to follow

anniversaries pleasant for his friends.

hypocrite of the first water No other
people have had the sad experience of
England's acquaintance such long
period, and hence it is that the Irish

necessary. For futther information on
Irish opposition to England's war in the

FASTEST "BLINo" TYPEWRITER.
Miss CarrinEton, of Boston, Makes
Two Remarkable Records.

Miss Darlington, of Boston, Makes
Two Remarkable Records.
Boston clnims the fastest blindfolded
typewriter. She is Miss May E. Car
1ington. A few days ago she wrote
from dictation 10S words of unfamiliar
matter and IA words of familiar mat
ter. That it is claimed is the record
for blindfold writing. The trial was
made before a few friends in the bust
ness Office of the firm by whom Miss
Darlington is employed as secretary
and bookkeeper.
When she had finished it was found
that she had not averaged one mistake
in three minutes writing. The method
of touch writing used by Miss Car
rington is becoming more and more
widely used, and many unlettered key
boards are ordered from the manufac-
turers. In order to use such a machine
one has to learn its keyboard as he
would that of a piano, and finger ex-
ercises play an important part in prac-
tice.
To master touch writing does not
take long. as would be imagined, three
or four months being about all that is
required. But to acquire the speed Miss
Darlington possesses is a different
thing. Most "touch typewriters" reach
speed of only 80 or 60 words minute
as against her IA. The use of the type
writer is now taught in institutions fol
the education of the blind.

"The salutation: How do you do?' I"
explained q state department lingrist
to Washington Star reporter, sis gem
eral throughout civilization, though
Americans boil it down more than any
other people in their one word
'howdy?' The Frenchman, to express
the same idea, has to use How do you
carry yourself?' The German says,
that is, he uses German words which
mean; How does it go with you?'
Likewise the Spanish Como esta
usted% which means How do you
stand? The Chinaman, when he
wants to say How do you do?' uses
words which mean How do you run
along to-dayT The Italian is almost
in the same fix, while the Arab uses
words which mean DO you stand or dc
well?" The Portuguese says, in his
own words, of course, 'uow's your good
health now?' and the Indian goes a
step further and says: You look well,
Go you feel SOP The Americans
'howdy' is as expressive as any of. the
others, as well as the briefest."

ADJOURNED COURT TO FIGHT.
A Judge Who Enjoyed a Little Bout
Himself.

Judge Wilson Hammock, who died at
Lebanon, Tenn, in February last, was
among the most gifted men the state
ever produced, says the Glasgow (Ky)
News. Unfortunately he became in
volved in a quarrel during his early
manhood and took the life Of fellow
man. Although exonerated by the jury,
the intimate friends of the judge are
inclined to the belief that his future life
was, in a measure, controlled by his
early misfortune. However, if man
ever lived who enjoyed fight, that
man was Judge Hammock. He bore
no malice and no marks when an ARRAY
was ended, but a fellow in search of
trouble never went begging when the
judge was in the community, and the
same man never went in search the sec
ond time. During his term as circuit
Judge of the Huntsville district q wan
ton insult was given by an attorney at
the bar. In an orderly and quiet way
Judge Hammock ordered the sheriff TO
adjourn court for two minutes. Then
walking outside the rostrum, he picked
up a chair and shattered it to pieces
over the offenders head. "Call the court
to order" said he to the officer, and, re-
suming his place on the bench, re-
marked: Gentlemen, when anyone
cares to insult this court, let nothing
preyent"

LoreIey in BRAZIL.

Allegro says that there is point on
the Amazon river which the Indians
avoid superstitiously after dark on ac-
count of legend of golden-haired
woman who casts a magic spell over
men and prevents them from finding
their way home. 1t remains TO be seen
whether this Loreley legend was not
imported centuries ago from Germany.
A brazilian novelist, Aloncar, has woven
the legend into one of his tales.

THE HARpEsT-woRKED WOMAN
In the Land is the Mistress of the
White HnuHe.

White House.
The author of q series of letters, Civ
ing "The Inner Experiences of a Cab
met Members Wife," in the Ladies'
Home Journal, gives some new and ex-
ceedingly frank gIimpses of Washing
ton official life. The letters are I'M
dated, therefore the administration
cannot be identified. She says of
presidents wife, in letter to her sis
ter, to whom all the missives are in
dited: 1.-The worst of living in the
white house is the lack of privacy and
room. The first lady of the land
is about the hardest-worked woman in
America in many ways. The present
lovely incumbent has more leisure than
most of those who have occupied the
place, because she knows no more
about the domestic arrangements than
il she lived in hotel. Everything is
turned over to a housekeeper, who
does not even report to Mrs. President.
The presidents wife has not the lux
uries nor convenience of ordinary
rich people living in large cities. Her
quarters are circumscribed and she
is besieged by reporters, especially dur
ing the first year, while the mere read
ing of her letters received every day is
heavy task, although she has a secre-
tary to help her out. This Mrs. Pres
ident does not even receive the reports
OF the head steward, the chief official
servant of the household. 1t is said
that he went to her not long ago to ask
her advice about getting rat poison to
kill the numerous rat and mice occu-
pants of the white house (be it said in
shame of the nation), and she told him
his province was to keep everything
disagreeable hidden from her-from
rats to ghosts. That settled Mr.. Stew
