DUMMIES FRIENDS BECOMING ANXIOUS
The Serious Illness Of the Noted Writer of Cooley

How the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune to the
People Of the Northwest

Since the announcement that f. l..
Dunno, the author of the inimitablc
"Doolcy' stories, is ut the point Of
death from typhoid fever in Chicago
Hospital, book dealers are ovcrwhclm-
ed with demands for the publications
of this most famous living writer of
Irish humor. Though Mr.. dunno,
through the "comicaltics" of his
"Dool"y" creation. has been for the
past couple of years the literary and
social lion of the East. where his
"Dooley" stories originally appeared
i'll the Now York papers, his acuuaint-
ance in the Northwest has been very
recent. and he owes his Introduction
here to the Minneapolis Sunday
Tribune, where the latest and best
productions of his pen are now seen
every Sunday.
The Tribune people were not only
fortunate in securing Mr.. Dunnr's con-
tributions when there is such Il COM
petition among newspapers for them,
but doubly SO, in having successfully
contracted for the exclusive right
of these convulsively funny sto-
RES. n prominent freshman re-
marked the other day: II do not
believe there is Il reading man in
the whole city who has the slightest
appreciation of real humor, or II drop

MIR. Dunnc'S wittriSms are equally

The stories. as printed in The Min

long story published in serial form,
but are single, complete stories in each
Sunday edition: and are written upon
all sorts of matchmaking subjects.
Mr.. DUNES style is peculiarly his

IRELAND'S GREATEST SINGER.
William Ludwig at the Lyceum on the
Evening of December IL.

AS already announced in these col
umns, William Ludwig, the famous
Irish baritone, will appear ut the Ly
ccum theater under the auspices Of the
y. o. II. on Monday evening, Dec. II.
AS Il lyric artist his reputation is
worldwide, and as the greatest eX-
ponent of Irish ballad music he stands
without an equal. \ grand treat is in
store for those who will hear him on
the above date in this city. The Dub
lin Freeman's Journal says that as IAN
Mr.. Ludwig stands unrivalled in this
generation, and one may very we'll
question whether there was ever be-
fore Il more earnest or truer exponent
of Irish song and sentiment
This musical genius reflects honor on
his native land. He is patriot who
loves Ireland with ardent devotion,
and when he sings "The irish Rap
parees," The Boys of Wexford or
The Wearing Of the Green" his pow
erful voice thrills Celtic audience
ana elicits ringing applause. FIR.
Cleary tells story of Ludwig when
a fellow passenger of his on board an
Atlantic steamer of which an Eng
lishman was captain. \ party Of Irish
men and Americans who knew the
captains anti-Irish prejudiccs prevail
ed on Ludwig to sing "The Wearing OF
the Green in the first cabin one even
ing after supper. At the first note of
the rebel song the captain scowled
and became as mad as March hare
The passengers laughed at his chagrin,
and before Ludwig had finished the
first verse the Anglo-SaXon fled to the
deck. When Ludwig took in the sit
uation he sang in such stentorian
tones, breathing out treason to Eng
land, that his voice was heard above
the roar of the waves and the sound of
the machinery, and every one ON the
ship, from cabin to steerage Joined in
the applause that greeted his ears
when he had finished, with the sole
exception Of the surly captain.
From present indications the Lyce-
UNI will be filled to overfowing to hear
this marvellous singer. Tickets for re-
served seats can be had at the Metro
politan Music Store, Nicollet avenue,
on and after Dec. 10. The prices are
