st. Patrick's Day Tuly Celebrated
with Banquet.


The day OF all days to Irishmen
was most auspiciously celebrated
yesterday in grand style. Here in
these Islands lost in the immensity
OF the blue Pacific, Irishmen and
Ifish sympathizers observed the day
OF the patron saint OF Irela nd in
fitting manner, aud although not
strong in numbers, they could not
have been improved upon in enthu-
siasm. The celebration OF the day
was in the form OF banquet at the
Moana Hotel. The Irish flag was
prominent on the wall back Of the
toastmastef's table, and the green
color was in evidence in the decora-
tions OF the hall.
Colonel 9. j. Mccarthy presided,
with Judge Estee on his right and
Attorney General Dole on his left.
At the same table were Committee.
men L. FL. Dee and W. F. Erving,
Rev. Father Henley, James Quinn,
S. F. Chillingwortb, @. M. White,
and John A. Hughes.
After the dinner hal been par.
taken OF and duly appreciated Col.
Mccarthy proposed the toast "The
President OF the United States"
which was drunk standing, Judge
Estee responding. Other toasts
we're proposed and duly honored as
follows:
"The day we celebrate" S. F.
Chillingworth; sour native land"
Thomas 1. Dillon; "Orators and
poets of Ireland" E P. Dole; "Ire.
land as q nation" C.M. White; 'Our
Irish lassies," j. A. Byrre; THE
Press," E. M. Boyd. Then every
body joined in singing "Auld Sang
Syne," and the first celebration Of
St. Patrick's day came to an end.

Home Rulers Take Action.

At a meeting Of the executive
committee OF the Home Rule Re-
publican party held last night at
Foster Hall, it was decided to ma ke
a fight 10 the Fourth District for
the seat left vacant by the death Of
the late representative A. F. Gil
fillan. f. w. Beardslee, Prince
Cupid and the Rev. Hiram Bingham
are mentioned as probable candi-
dates. But we feel sure that the
Prince cares not to be 10 this race at
this time.
In the platform which was adopt
ed, it is demanded that a special
session of'the Legislature be order
ed for the purpose Of passing laws
for the establishment of county and
municipal governments; the adjust
ment of charges on all public utili-
ties operated by the government;
for a loan act providing for bond
issue; the appointment of Senators
for the 2 and 4 year terms and set
ting aside the revenue from certain
fixed sources for the payment Of the
FIRE claims. The platform concludes
with the following sentence:

That the people may rule"

order of Judge Little OF the Fourth

holds every Sheriff as public ac-
countants, and as such they are per
sonally responsible for all fines and
costs to the Treasurer OF the Terri
tory. Aud if such is the case,
where in the world is the authority
for the respective clerks OF the Cir
cult Courts to hold and remit
moneys, when tho Auditor holds the
opposite view. To whom then are
the clerks responsible and account
able2 If the clerks are the proper
ones to do this business, then the
Sheriffs must keep their weather

the best way out Of the muddle is
to submit the matter to Che Supreme

Being present at the Irish banquet
last night, we utterly failed to see
where the Advertisers reporter "got
an ovation" after making his speech
with strong plea for the freedo m
of the press, which was evidently in
support OF the recent course OF the
journal that he represented. All
speakers received oomplim entary
ovations, he was no exception.
There was no cheers given for the
Advertiser, aud If there was, we
utterly failed TO hear it, unless it
was only in the mind of its reporter.
But what we did see and felt, which
we are loath and too modest to say
it Of ourselves, and il we didn't say

A number OF Irishmen seen to-day
by representative Of The TNDEPEND-
ENT expressed their indignation at the
action of the Advertiser trying to
make political capital ont OF the
address made last night by its re-
preventative E. NJ. Boyd. The Ad-
vertiser was accorded the usual
courtesies, aud took advantage Of
the good mature OF Irishmen to in
trude upon them and make plea
on its own behalf. He was cheered,
it is true, but so were ell OF the
other speakers. But all OF the Irish

In dairy work where there Is large
number of cans, buckets and strainers
to wash 1t requires considerable time
and work to thoroughly scald them all
with boiling water and be sure that all
have been rendered sterile. The or
&inary baking soda is often recon-
mended for washing purposes. 1t is
claimed by many writer's TO be espe-
cially valuable for cleaning children's
nursing bottles after the milk has been
allowed to sour In II. 1t is rather hard
10 understand Just why baking soda
should be considered a good cleansing
agent. 1t could not have any of the
properties Of soap and very few Of
those OF free alkali. 1t has the power
OF combining with the tactic acid which
gives dirty bottle its sour odor and
would destroy this odor. This quality
is Objectionable, however, as 1t would
lead one TO believe the bottle clean
when 1t was not clean, in much the
same way as perfume makes an un-
washed person less Objectionable A
small quantity of washing powder
would be more efficient in cleaning the
dirt from the bottle and would thor
oughly sterilize ii at the same time

My objection" declares the author

versation is its continuousness. You
have to keep on. You find three or
four people gathered together, and in
stead Of being restful and recreatlve,
sitting I'm comfortable attitudes at
peace with themselves and each other
and now and again, perhaps three or
four times in an hour, making wor-
thy and memorable remark they are
all hasgard and intent upon keeping
the fetch flow a-going. These
conversationalists say the most shall
low and needless OF things, impart
aimless information, simulate interest
they do not feel and generally impugn
their claim to be considered reasonable
creatures. Why when people assem-
BILE without hostile intentions it should
be so imperative to keep the trickling
rill Of talk running l find it impossible
to imagine" If we had little more
imagination and a nicer sense of hu-
NOR, we women who have to tackle
our own sex with the fishing net of
conversation would agree with this
plain speaking essayist. The thing
would be impossible to us If we were
not ground down to it by custom.

The Chfnch Bug In Wheat.

The progress of chinch bugs from
field to field may be obstructed by max
ing V shaped trench with the corner
of hoe and filling it with coal tar. the
tar to be renewed as soon as ii becomes
crusted over.
Another method which has been sug-
gested is to plow deep furrow across
their track. The bugs which get into
this furrow will have difficulty in get
ting out again, and they may then be
killed by sprinkling them with kero-
sene emulsion made as follows:
Dissolve half pound of soap in a
gallon of water and heat to the boiling
point. Remove from the fire and while
hot add two gallons of coal oil, churn-
ing the mixture with n good force
pump for fifteen minutes or until it re-
sembles buttermiik. To each quart of
this emulsion add fifteen quarts of wa
ter and apply with n spray pump or
sprinkling pot.
This emulsion may also be used
where the bugs have attacked the out
er rows of corn, using a spray pump
and throwing it with sufficient force to
wash them off the corn.-Ohio Station.

Gently said. If the death angel should
sweep over the state and in one night
destroy the poorest third Of all the
cows in Illinois, the dairymen would

keeping one-half of their herd at an
actual loss. They are perhaps making
little profit on the whole herd and

if they would dispose OF their unprott-
able cows they would make more mon

American Acuteness Due In Part TO
the Midday Repasts.

A great many people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound hy-
giene when they denounce the "quick
lunch" of the American business world
as the sum Of all gastronomic iniqui-
ties. But in so far as the quick lunch
Is q light lunch, and 1t usually Is this,
it may be blessing in disguise. In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
of the acuteness and business energy
of Americans to the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even il
hurriedly, and drinks but little ut the
midday meal; hence his mind is clear,
he is not sluggish and he is able to do a
good deal between / o'clock and O.
AS a contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits of certain European countries,
notably Germany, and to that he at
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts of the best minds
to counteract. In this he is in har-
mony with an American specialist,
who In decrying heavy midday meal
said that "the plan of eating heavy
meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table
explains the prevalence Of dyspepsia
in countries not enjoying the long aft
ernoon recess of the tropics" Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit in with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the "busy mans bite" had better
look little further into the matter.
Perhaps we do eat too much, as GER
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but 1t
looks as II we were slowly approximate
ing, the country over, to an ideal dietet-
ic system, for Americans, which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal of the day, whatever it may be
called And If the quick lunch of the
business world has had any effect In
this direction it is not the unmixed evil
some declare it to be.-Philadelphia
