The Vault of ST. Michan's.

The most interesting place Of pilgrim
age in Dublin is st. Michan's church,
where the organ is still to be seei. upon
which Handel is said to have composed
his Messiah" In the graveyard is the
last resting place Of Robert Emmett.
and the vault Of st. Michan's provides
more grewsome thrill than the
morgue. The sexton lifts an iron door
and descends a few rude steps, carry
ing a light, without which the place
would be pitch dark. You follow and
find yourself in a narrow passage, from
which cell-like receSSeS belonging to
different families branch off. Whether
it is owing to the extreme dryness OF
the surroundings or to some mysterious
property of the place. the process of de-
cay has been arrested. and the features
of persons dead for two centuries may
be recognized from authentic portraits,
Perhaps the strangest thing about the
vault IS the fact that, apart from the
weird sensation. there is nothing Often
sive In the surroundings.-Lon Tat
Ter.

The Parish Priest.

Tuesday night at the Auditorium
"The Parish Priest. 1.-THE great New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago success, will be presented.
In Act I, Is a scene which at once
establishes the play as one of un-
usual excellence. Big Jim Welsh
and Nellie Durkin present to DR..
Welsh a sign for his Office. On this
day he assumes theipractice OF his
preceptor, DR.. Cassidy, and 1t Is but
natural that his brother who labored
TO pay for his education should be
eleted. His citation fnds expires
siod In the presenting of the sign
which he made, and which Miss
Durkin presented. 1t Is a pretty
bit of acting when the little girl
climbs up the tree stump and In
trite speech, presents the sign, while
the big brother smiles approval
from the porch. In the midst of
their laughter, Miss Cassidy, to
whom DR.. Welsh Is engaged,appears
and objects to the placing of the
sign on the building, claiming that
1t Is old fashioned. 1t Is an awful
blow to the donators who are about
to depart with the sign when Father
Whaien appears, and by arts diplc'
matte succeeds In inducing Miss
Cassidy to accept the sign. "Why"
he says "there Is heart throb In
every inch of the toard and an
honest affection In every stroke of
the brush. The sign Is not valuable
for the lettering 1t contains, but 1t
Is invaluable for what itrepresents."
Throughout the play are many
beautiful scenes, as natural. con-
vincing, pulse stirring, tear start
Ing and smile creating as this. The
play pleased Boston immensely, as
1t comes with the gentleness and
IMMIGRATION of "a June breeze, after
the fevered farces so plentiful OF
late. Father Whalen Is one of the
best character creations of recent
years.

Decorated With Elk Teeth.

A dress owned by a Kiowa Indian
squaw was sold in FL Reno, Okla,
for ST. 900, and the purchaser thinks
he was lucky TO get it at that price.
1t is lavishIy decorated with elk

BEFORE COUNCIL COMMITTEES
Bids to be Considered at a Meeting
TO be Held To-

The finance and bridge committees
If the city council meet tonight to
consider bids for the construction Of
he proposed south bridge Cver Rock
river at Milan. The Massillon Bridge
company, Of Massillon. Ohio, has the
lowest proposal, $1O.i50, if the plans
furnished by the city are TO be fol
lowed to the letter. AMI $3.50 if the
company Ec allowed to fcilow its OWN
plans.
There were five other firms that
made propositions, but two Of them
failed to have the required certified
checks on hand when the bids were
opened and of course were not con
sit;cred with the others. The three
remaining firms. aside from the Mas
sillcn company, appear to have com
pared notes, for their bids were so
near similar as it was possible to
make them without suspecting there
was combination.
You see" remarked a city official
today. these companies invariably
have an understanding, and while
they try to give the impression they
are in competition, YOU will always
notice that the company in whose
territory the work is to he done has
the lowest bid. But this time there
was one bidder that was not in the
| combination. The agreement, l take
It, was tC throw the contract TO the

pCsaI of the five, but the MassilIon

"Of right, the bridge should not
cost over $500. The Massillon com
Tany offers to do the work for $3.50.
That is high bid, but if we were to
let it out to the next lowest we would
have to pay $1O,73O. These contract
ors have way Of doing business that
is peculiarly their own. For instance,
allowing $500 would be a fair price
for the building Of the bridge, and
the lowest bid was $4,000. the differ
ence between $500 and $4,000 would
he split among the unsuccessful bid
