Mrs. ]. p. Mitchell, sister OF the new
archbishop Of New York, Monsignor Farley,
throws some amusing light upon the early
life of the parsonage who is now the prin-
cipal Roman Catholic dignltary Of New
York. She said: I'VE came from County
Monaghan and Of good old Irish stock, and
save for my brothers seriousness In all
matters he was not unlike other boys.
Fond Of athletics, he was always outdoors
playing hand ball, wrestling and indulging
in all sports, and in all, I must say, he
excelled. Even In playing marbles. he
would come home with his pockets full.
l remember when he was about 10 years old
he came home with his clothing torn and
despatched with blood and his nose bleed
ing. He had been playing marbles and
had won, as usual. The other boy was
angry over his losses and Johns good
nature, and when John was about to shoot
his marble the other lad said: 'Knuckle
down, now and at the same moment
put his hand in his pocket. My brother
said It was a mean trick, and the lad
knocked on Johns cap and a fist tight
resulted, Each boy was cheered, and for
fully ten minutes 1t was anyone's fight,
when a punch in the stomach made the
other lad quit. John said he then emptied
his pockets of marbles, saying. These made
you fight; probably they will heal your
wounds and ran home"

1t is a sight for gods and men, says a
New York letter, to stand, say, in front Of
the Knickerbocker theater and notice the
dresses some women wear. A man named
Soloman once remarked that there is moth
ing new under the sun. but this expe-
rience would make him revise his iudg-
ment. The claim has been put forth with
out contradiction that Parisiennes are the
only women in the world who know how to
dress their heads and feet. but a mar who
has been both a boulevard loafer and q
Broadway idler will have to be shown"
The Broadway girl is the large first person
OF the neuter gender. Cutting out stage
'goils'' entirely, there is another type which
always attracts the amazed and admiring
eye. This Is the HON girl OF New York.
She Is to be seen in her glory only here.
Like the exotic she withers and changes
when transplanted. She is the girl who
knows how TO dress right 10 taw. She is al
various in her raiment as the hower-decked
hillsides Of West Virginia. She Is not
cheap, tawdry OF bedizened. She does MOI
give the Impression Of being dressed within
| an inch OF her life. The visual effects
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-26

she radiates is pleasing and satisfying.
You feel that she is a la mode and accord
ing to Hoyle. She is wholesome, healthy
and happy; she 'exudes that indehnable
atmosphere which goes by the name OF
breeding" She shows through her clothes
that she is a thoroughbred. But to return
to the original remark about the dresses
some women wear" The effective and sin
gular thing about 1t all is that no two are
alike. When you see a dozen of them
together they do not give the effect of
having participated in a job-lot rush for
hats or shoes or dresses. The whole, in
finite, kaleidoscope whirl OF the milliner's
and modiste's illimitable fancies may be
seen in a half hour at. say, the Knicker-
booker, along Broadway. For an minated
group picture the New York girls have
'em all beaten to a chow-chow.

The Salvation Army in New York City
has resorted to a curious trick to entrap
the unregenerate into ways Of righteous
ness. At many points in the city in the
lowlier quarters the Army has established
stands where books are sold for 2 cents
apiece or three for a nickel. The works
are bound in flaming colors OF red, yellow
and green. and bear the most alluring
titles. The books prove a distinct disap-
pointment when opened. Instead OF i'm
FASHIONED love scenes the readers find long
homilies on the dangers that Turk in the
society OF gilded youths and the glories
thai cluster around the brow Of virtue.
The Army appears to be working on the
theory that the DEVILS own weapons are
the best to light him with.

SCHLEY'S CASE IN CONGRESS
ACTION TAKEN BY THE MARYLAND
 DELEGATION.
Wili Not Urge Any BilI Pending Action by the President on schIey's Appeal Discussed-AIl Favorable to Any BilI Vindtcatias Schley.

Washington, Jan. 13.--The Maryla nd delegation in congress, including sena- tors and representatives, to-day consid- cred the course to be pursued on the Schley case, and reached a determina- tion that, pending the decision of Pres ident Roosevelt on the appeal to be made by Admiral Schley to the chief executive it would be inadvisable for the delegation to urge upon congress any of the resolutions or bills intro duced, The meeting was held in the committee room of Representative Wachter of Maryland, and was attend~ ed by Senator McComas and by all of the representatives from Maryland ex- cept MT. Jackson, who was out of the city.
 The various resolutions and bills now before congress were gone over, and it was the general sentiment of those present that the delegations would be favorable to any one of the measures which fully vindieated Admiral Schley. But for the present, in view of the ad- miral's placing the matter before Pres ident Roosevelt, the delegation deemed it inexpedient to determine upon any particular measure, or to urge the mat ter before congress.

NAMED FOR AKFCE RO0SEVRLT.
Kaiser's Yacht to Bear Given Name of
 Presidents Daughter


 New York, Jan. 13.-Emperor Will 1ian's yacht, now being constructed at Shooters Island is to be christened '.Alice The Tribune tomorrow will make this announcement which is stat ed to be on the authority of Henry G. Barbey, a member of the firm which designed the yacht. Mir. Barbey stated that the information was unofficial but that he does not doubt its authenticity. The name Alice will be given the yacht in honor of Miss Alice Roose- welt, daughter of President Roosevelt, who is to christen the yacht, and for a cousin of the emperor, whose name also is Alice. The cousin in question is thought to be the czarina of Russia, who was the Prncess Ahx of Hesse, granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
 The fact that Miss Alice Roosevelt is to christen the yacht and that it may be named in her honor, together with the knowledge that Prince Henry will represent his brother, the emperor, at the ceremony, has added extraordinary interest to the affair.
 Prince Henry proba bly will sail from Bremen either on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse due here Febru- ary, or on Kron Prinz Wilhelm, due on February 25.
 The annual dinner of the German so- ciety of this city will be held on the night of the launching, February 2S, and it is planned to have Prince Henry present as the guest of honor

Representatives GrOsyeuor nnd Hep-
 burn Defend ThemseEves

Washington, Jan, 13.-The house of representatives spent the day in gen. eral discussion of the pension appropri- ation bill, the first of the annual bud- gets. The debate took a wide range MT. Grosvenor of Ohio and MT. Hep burn of Iowa denounced a report pre- sented to the last c. A. R. encamp- ment criticising the course of them selves and other members of congress on the veteran preference" bill which was defeated at the last session. They explained that their opposition to the bill was due to the incorporation in the bill of a clause which had not been en- dorsed by the c. A. R., placing veter- ans of the Spanish war in the prefer ential class. Mir. Rixey of Virginia caused something of stir on the demo- cratic side by advancing a proposition to open the doors of the National Sol diers' Homes to ex-Confederates and to furnish federal aid to state Confed- crate Homes. MT. Richardson of Ala bama was the only democrat who join ed MT. Rixey in support of it.

This amendment was carried by thirty votes, Chili abstainins from voting. The vote excited great inter est, as it was a forecast that the ad- vocates of compulsory arbitration would have their way in insisting that the plan be reported to the conference.

MANY MESSAGES AT A TIME
INVENTOR MARCONI IS MORE OP-
 IIMiS1IC THAN EYER.
4Ats Address at the Annual Dinner of the American Institute of EYectrtcnI Engincers-Hopes Soon to Have Mes- sases fiashed Through Space Across the ocean-A Way 10 Prevent Their InterceptiOm.

New York, Jan. 13.--William Marco nj, the inventor of wireless telegraphy was the guest of honor this evening at the annual dinner of the American In- stitute of Electrical Engineers, held in Waldorf Astoria hotel.
 The decorations consisted of smiax anassed about tiny green electric lights. On the wall back of the guests table was a black table set with electric lights forming the letters and word "Marconi." Two smaller tablets, some distance apart bore a similar arrange ment the work on one being "Poldhu, :" on the other "St Johns," the names of the towns between which the famous wireless test was recently made. These tablets are connected with a string of electric lights, so arranged as to make the letter 'tS,' in the Morse code On the menu cards was a half-tone picture of the inventor in the center of a scene representing the transmission across the ocean of a series of "S's,'' the letter Used in making the recent signals.
 The only addresses were those by President Charles Proteus Stetnetz, s'ignor Marconi, Prof. Elihu Thompson, and pr. Michael I. Pupin.
 Thomas A. Edison wrote that he would be glad to be present. as he would like ito meet the young man who had the monumental audacity to attempt and succeed in jumping an electrical wave clear across the Atlan- tic ocean, but was unable to accept the invitation.
 Signor Marconi, on being introduced, first described what his system had ac- complished up to the present time, es- pecially in reference to use on ships. He then referred to the prevailing opinion that when a message is sent into space any one of the necessary ap- paratus can intercept that message and read it. He said:
 Messages can only be read when the receiver and transmitter are attuned. This attuned system as perfected is not at present in use on ships. It has been deemed necessary that each ship should be equipped with apparatus which will permit of their reading a message sent from any other ship, because of the possibility of aid being required in q case of danger Therefore, all ships are attuned so that one ship can call up any other ship"
 After finishing the description of what had been accomplished Signor Marconi spoke of his hopes for the fu- ture. He declared that shortly it would be possible to send many messages over the sea at the same time.

KISSES FOR LORD R0SEBERY
DISTINCTLY HOSTILE MEETING OF
 LIBERALS IN LONDON
Ex-Premler's Reappoaranoe in Public Life Not Enthusiasticaily Welcomed at tho London Liberal Associattonfs InauEuraI-Pnmphl Dsnounetng Him as Traitor to the Party Thrown from the Galleries.

1 London, Jan. 13.-The inaugura
 meeting of the London Liberal associ- ation at St. James hall tonight had 1 been awaited with great interest, prin- cipally because it was probable that 1 light would be thrown upon the future relations between Lord Rosebery and 1 the liberal party. Taken as a whole,
 the demonstration could be taken as an enthusiastic welcome to Lord Rose bery's reappearance in public life. l Lord Rosebery was not present 1t the meeting, at which Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, leader in the house of com
 mons and Earl Spencer were the prin- !! cipal speakers. The temper of the meet 1 ing was distinctly hostile to the ex-pfe- mier The speech of Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman clearly indicated that if Lord Rosebery returned to the liberal fold he must come unreservedly and in full accord with the present policy of
 the liberal party.
 St James hall was crowded and hun
 dreds of persons were turned away
 from the doors Sir Henry Campbell
 Zimmerman and Earl Spencer were
 greeted vociferously Miss Hobhouse
 who was the first person to agitate re-
 garding the condition of the concentra-
 tion camps in South Africa was called
 to the platform and received an ovation. In the meantime pamphlets denounc tng Lord Rosebery as o traitor to the party were thrown broadcast from the gal leries. The reading of Lord Rosebery's letter of regret was received with min gled cheers, hoots and misses, the latter predominating. The letter in question was non-committal. Tn it Lord Rose bery said he hoped that the meeting would aim to secure the unity of com mon sense liberalism to which the writer hoped he had contributed by his recent speech at Chesterfield This statement was received with riotous ex. pressions of disapproval. and the great audience almost prevented the conclu- sion of the reading of Lord Rosebery's letter.
 Following this episode Sir Henry Campbell l-Bannerman commenced his speech. Amid wild Interruptions, cheer ing and encouragement the speaker welcomed Lord Rosebery's return to public life and said that he had fre- quently urged him to such course. But in the next breath Sir Henry ampbell-Bannerman warned his hear CTS that if they expected to have a strong liberal party in the house of commons it must be a party of liberals The speaker also said that the points on which he differed with Lord Rose bery seemed to him to be mmaterial and he expressed the hope that the lib eral party would have Lord Rosebery's powerful cooperation on the all-impor- tant subject of the restoration of peace.
