mis- Is "st Patrick's Day In the Morning.
The shamrock and the harp. emblems Of
old Ireland. will be everywhere ia evidence
upon ~coat-lapels, and fruit vendors will
look well TO their oranges No true HI
bernian will patronize the yellow street
cars today.
The day will be observed in many OF the
churches, where high mass win be cele.
brated, and panegyrics pronounced upon the
sterling virtues OF the patron saint. To-
night there will be appropriate services at
Creighton University hall. Contrary to the
custom In most cities there will be no
parade, though 1t is not because there arc
not enough Irishmen in Omaha to make a
showing.
There is a notion in most peoples mind
that st. Patrick was originally an Irish
peasant boy. who suddenly came into promi-
nenoe and earned his title by killing Oh
deadly reptiles with a wave Of his hand
But this. history says, Is not true. Lovers
Of romance will probably consider It a
misfortune to turn upon this beautiful le-
gend the cold light Of fact, but the truth
is, St. Patrick was a Frenchman! At leas-
he was such by birth, having been born
In a province OF France. or Gaul, as It was
then called. That was way back in sT2. He
was captured by the Scots, who then ruled
Ireland, and, in the year OF 432, was taker
to the Emerald isle, where for several
years he served his masters in the capacity
Of slave.
what st. Patrick Met.
ireland at that time was peopled by &
fierce and frey race Of sun and idol wor.
shippers, whose priests were the Druids
They had a code OF morals Of their own
and treated women with the greatest con-
sideration. They were barbariahs, for the
Romans, who for nearly 400 years had beer
the conquerors Of Britain, had to acknow1-
edge thai they could do nothing with the
people Of ireland.
st. Patrick landed in Meath. His first
convert was Benignus. a boy. at the hous,
Of whose parents the saint stopped. The
next convert was Prince Dichu, who, hear.
ing Of the landing Of ST. Patrick. came
down to the coast to drive him and his
religion into the sea. But Diehu's swordarn
became rigid as marble when he attacked
St. Patrick, and the prince, finding he wal
dealing with someone above the human
accepted Christianity aud was baptized.
This was st. Patrick's hrst great triumph
over the hordes Of idolatry. 1t aroused
jealousy and envy. Thenceforth his If,
was sought by men in high places, and h
ran the gamut OF a thousand dangers, bui
came forth scathless. He continued hi
evangelical work amid the greatest hard
ships.
As to st. Patrick's famous coup. by which
- he is supposed to have rid the island o
snakes. history is silent. and It is sup
posed that the reference to reptiles In tn
legend is hgurative. He found In Ireian'
100000 pagans. and in sixty years ha'
changed the religious aspect OF the lant

fact, whenever the bill is headed by an act

interesting, much less amusing or enter
tanning. This weeks bill embraces none of
these so-called feature acts and in conse-
Quence Is really worth the time spent in
seeing it. For the most part it includes
new faces and new acts, which is quite a
relief, for there are many in vaudeville to-
day that have been around the circuit so
often with the same old act that they are
positively tiresome, and a new face is al
most always welcome regardless Of whether
its possessor is good, bad or Indifferent.
Fancy bicycle acts have been included in
many OF this seasons bills, yet none of
them are entitled to more praise than that

First Nebraska Council Of Catholic Order
Installed in 0maha.
CHARTER MEMBERS NUMBER FFTY-Two
Large DELEGATIONS from other West.

Ceremonies-Banquet at the
Willard Hotel.

The first council OF the knights Of Co.

tuted yesterday afternoon in the temple
Of the Ancient Order OF United Workmen.
with a total Of hfty-two charter members.
The installation exercises occupied the en-
tire afternoon and part Of the evening,
and only a little time elapsed between the
conclusion Of the ceremonies attending the
institution OF the council and the assem-
bling OF guests and members at the ban
quet given In the Millard at 9 o'clock. All
the proceedings were secret, as also were
the formal and informal exercises at the
banquet. Since the first council Of the
Knights of Columbus was instituted in
New Haven, Conn, about twenty years ago,
a total OF $50 have been established with
a membership Of nearly 10000. 1t is a
beneficiary organization. although this Is
not the dominant feature, It being only
incidental to the social character Of the
council's work.
Only Catholics Eligible.
Only Catholics are eligible to member
ship. and any Catholic ecclesiast is en-
titled to admission to the meetings Of the
councils regardless whether he is actually
a member or not. 1t is a rule Of the order
thaL representatives OF Two OF more coun-
ellis must be present at all Invitations.
About 100 members are required to do the
work. and hence councils having candidates
for initiation attend the institution OF a
new council almost in a body. Much
progress has recently been made in the in
stitution of councils In the middle west.
1t vas expected that a delegation from
Denver would be present at yesterdays
proceedings, but the C~oloradoans went in
stead to Texas. where a council is being
organized. There were large delegations
from other cities present in Omaha yes
terday, forty from Chicago, thirty from St.
