THE ISLAND QUEEN
Excursion. Given by the Elks,
Was An Enjoyable Event

The excursion on the s.Island Cue sn'
last Tuesday night. given by the Ellzs
lodge Of this city, was one Of the thor
oughly enjoyable occasions Of the year
\ There is one good reason for the excel
lent time everybody had, and that is
everything the Elks undertake is al
ways done in manner that never fails
to please.
i TheIboat left the warehouse landing
at S:59D'clock with over 500 people or
board and merrier crowd never as
sembled together before. Those who
had rot visited the boat In the after
noon spent the first part Of the evening
wandering over the wide decks and
ahrough its spacious cabins from the
water edge to the pilot house, while
those who went there to dance com.
menced that form ofamusementa as soon
as the boat left the landing.
This steamer is a Cincinnati boat
and is built purely for pleasure trips,
having no staterooms for passengers.
From the top to the bottom it is hand
somely fitted out. The main cabin 81
the boat is the dancing cabin, which is
nearly 200 feet long and about 80 feet
wide, and, so the captain of the boat
says, has had 175 couples dancing at
one time on the floor. The floor, as we
heard one lady express it, is simply
grand. +" and it is safe to say that no
one present ever tripped the light fam
tastic toe on smoother floor. Beaure-
gard rs orchestra furnished the music
foI the occasion and their numbers
we're many and very close together.
Had the night been warmer twice the
number would have been on the boat
when it left the landing. AS it was
those who missed it were very sorry
that they did not go when they heard
the ''good time we had" remarks made
the next day.
The crowd was one Of the most or
derly ever on the boat, and the boat
managers were loud in their praise Of
the conduct OF those on board, saying
that 1t was real pleasure to them to
get crowd of as perfect ladies and
gentlemen. The officers were courteous
and pleasant gentlemen, answering
cheerful the thousand and one ques-
tions propounded to them, and were
untireing in their efforts to grant every
request. No exhorbitant prices were
affixed for the refreshments served, and
anything from glass OF soda water to
a glass OF champagne could be procur-
ed, though intoxicating liquors did not
get the bester Of single person.
For the good order maintained on
board the differcnt committees in
charge deserve . great Of credit. Not
a single incident occurred to mar the
pleasure ofthe evening, and every one
aboard entered into the spirit Of the
occasion with . heartiness, determined
to have a nice, enjoyable time, and
they succeeded tothelr hearts content.
The trip was made up the river to the
Luna landing and back and then below
the city TO the first bend, returning to
the city at 1880 o'clock. So smoothly
does the ''Island Queen" divide the
waters that one could not tell. II inside

Joseph Murphy.

To hear Joseph Murphy laugh or
sing, to see him smile, or watch him
play, is a treat that can beustored in a
play-goer's memory, and be drawn
upon when the evenings are dull and
the heart is heavy. After twenty years
he triumphed here again last night,
when he played "Kerry Cow at the
Crescent Theatre. Some laughed and
thought that 'Kerry Cow was highly
bouyant, and painted the lighter side
OF true Irish souls; others cried and be-
lieved that "Kerry Cow was the
sweetest bit Of pathos from Irish land
and between the laughter and tears
came the conviction that Joeseph Murphy was
great actor kerry Cow and Joseph Muir
ply cannot be distinctly separated. Critics
differ on the point as to the art of the play OF
the art OF the, man Some argue that Joseph
that the play made James Murphy. Which ii
the arauments is correct isshard to say, but II
is easy for any play-goer to say that both Ker-
~ Cow and Joseph Murphy are delights in

uniurned to crush the Drews and o. 'Hara. He
uses henchmen to hide pixies in the foege Of

lest Is between the two animals. Drews horse

farrier close the story v ith a kiss. after Hay
and his henchmen are dragged to jail for con-
spiracy.
The story itself is worth any one,s attention,
but Mr.. Murphy has enriched the play with the
sweetest tonches Of nature, and dressed all
with the truest bits of Irish scenery The Drew
farm Is O delightful country picture, and the
smthy oilers every opportunity fer natefalnees
which opportunities are taken advantage of by
the entire company. Mr.. Murphy and his help

hot iron into horsesh0es, and the chatter and
singing and dancing are so true to life that

A GOOD ADMINISTRATION.

The first year of the Republican
administration of affairs under Gov
ernor White has closed. and the re-
suits are moss satisfactory to the
State, exceeding all expectations and
the wheels Of the State Government
moving smoothly along without fric.
tion OF any kind. The administration
of The States affairs has been free
from scandal has been economically
and wisely administered. these facts
point TO the wisdom of the people of
the State intrusting to the Republl-
can party the conduct of the affairs
OF the State. 1t would be wise to
continue the Republicans III power
not only IN State administration. but
locally. wherever the Republicans
put up ticket. While 1t is nothing
remarkable for the Republicans to
give the people good administration
their well know capacity for dealing
with public matters having long since
been a matter of history and expert
ences. it is well enough to call atten-
ton to it as we go alJng. leGt the

serving fail to note

night for MUDDY Lane.
Arriving at the small one sto

These they broke open and while id
ing so they heard a voice at one
the windows which sounded Lid
someone was trying to get out Til
expected person did not appear q
the window however.
With guards watching the outsidI
the officers and the assistants entered
with drawn revolvers. They found
Carrie Wasson inside. She had a
revolver in her hand and threatened
to shoot. While three or four shininI
revolvers were pointed at her head
the enraged woman was overpowerI
ed and the revolver taken from herI
1t was then learned that r edmonI
had climbed into the attic. Afte]
calling three times for him to como
down the officers threatened to sci
fire to the building. This threat had
the desired effect. The murdered
climbed meekIy down out of the att
tic and gave himself up. The officers
brought both Redmond and his white
companion MP town to iail.
The revolver which Carrie WATSON
had in her possession was the same
revolver which Redmond used in
committing the bloody deed 1t had
two cartridges IN the cylinder. Both
of the cartridges had been dented
by the trigger but had failed to go
off.
Redmond said he had fired only
four shots at Sampson. He said he
shot because he WASH going to allow
Sampson to cut him with his knife.
Redmond told last night that he
had travelled around through the
woods all Sunday night and wante d
to board a train for the west but as
no freights were running he could
not carry out his plans for escape.
MANY believe that he has been with
Carrie WATSON on Muddy Lane,
ever since he committed the deed.
Carrie WATSON, the Young white wo-
man who has gotten herself into
trouble by shielding Redmond, is wei
known in police circles. From all
accounts her chief associates of late.

INsfNcERE TARIFF AGITATION

Uncle Sans collection of statistics
comes in very handy when the growth
of this country is to be compared with
that of other lands. A book showing
the growth of the products of the
field, forest, mines and manufactures.
also that of population and wealth for
the past century, makes very interest
ing disclosures.
In all lines this country shows q
remarkable growth, and we now out
top the world in manufacture, exports
and in wealth. But 1t is noticeable
that the greatest gains of the century
were made III the very recent years
when Protective Tariff lifted the
depression caused by the Tariff tink-
ering which prevailed during Cleve-
and's administration.
just now there is an effort being
made by certain newspapers to revive
Tariff agitation, and TO pretend TO
believe that a reduction of duties
would benefit the land. But it is
quite probable that some of the pa
pers talking OF Tariff reduction
would be very sorry to see it take
place.
The newspapers as we'll as Other
lines are benefited by the activity
caused by Protection. Their advoca

and TO cause doubt and uncertainty
No newspaper wants to see return

now is likely TO bring back such
condi'ion. Philadelphia Item"
