WHAT PEOPLE WANT.

The Street Car Company seems
to misunderstood the public's de-
mand. 1t is not more transfers
with long waits and rides that the
people want, but more prompt and
all over town transfers without
waiting or riding any more than
necessary. Convenience and a
saving of time in transfers is what
the people want; and they have an
idea that they are entitled to it,
and that it is the charter duty of
the Street Car Company to give it
them-an idea they may take it
into their heads to enforce, to the
worry and cost, If nothing else, of
the Street Car Company. The
people are hard to wake up and go
after what they want, but when
they do they usually get it-even
from street car companies.

refusing to recognize, on behalf of

RECENT DEATHS.

Miss Rosa Schem, the fifteen-year-old
daughter of Edward Schem, passed to
her eternal rest last Saturday morning at
the family residence, 1876 East Chestnut
street, after short illness. She was a
popular and promising girl and was
admired by large circle of acquaint-
ances, who feel great sympathy for the
bereaved father and mother. Her fune-
raj took place Monday morning from St.
Martins church with solemn high mass
of requiem for the repose of her soul.
The funeral of Mrs. Josephine Fang
mann, the beloved wife of Frank Fang
mann, Of 426 Jackson street, took place
Monday morning from St. Boniface
church, where she had been devout
communicate for many years. Mrs.
Fangmann was held in high esteem in
German Catholic circles of the East End,
where she had spent the greater portion
of her life. She was seventy-four years
old.

HINTS ON STYLE.

Linen laces are a popular trimming
and there is larger and hondsomer as
sortnient of wash laces than ever before.
The woman who can afford only a
cheap ready-made cape of lace or OF
batiste or lien, lace trimmed, would bet
ter not buy any. The cheap ones will be
an eyesore before the season is far ad-
vauced.
Skirt straps are more thar ever inn
portant in this springs tailor frocks and
are used with infinite cleverness to pro-
mote the artful cling and flare demanded
in the skirt of the moment. Seams,
sorts, Jennings, are hidden by the strap
ping without the suggested clumsiness of
a many-pieced skirt.
High jeweled belts give much the same
effect as the girdles and are a part of the
tendency toward jeweled dress accessor-
les, buckles. buttons, pendant ornaments,
clasps, etc. Exquisite enamels are much
favored also for the art nouveau orna-
ments, and, by the way, the fuchsia is
the flower of the day.
Rufus favored tall women. They did
not do justice to short or plump women.
The stole allows every woman to have
individuality, privilege the ruff frowned
upon, insisting upon the same great
masses of .fuffiness for all, the same effect
in the back, with collar entirely covered
and hair covered almost to the hat liue.
Among the most beautiful of all stoles
are those fashioned from velvet. There
is the long straight scarf of black velvet,
lined with moonlight white satin and
having its ends finished with deep silk
fringe, and there are innumerable velvet
collars and capes with stole ends, all
edged with many frills of chiffon or
mousseline.
The full round blouse has flowing
transparent sleeves of the black net, and
the deep collar would be formed of a
chiffon velvet in luscious peach pink
with inset cream lace of heavy mesh out
lining the edge irregularly. The frock
should be made over black liberty satin

The Indiana labor organizations
are neither so large or noisy as
ours, but they are united and eff
fective in obtaining legislation and
the enforcement of law in the in
terest of labor. The Legislature
just adjourned passed several new
laws besides remedying defects in
others. The Hoosiers have a
thorough organization and stand
ing Legislative Committee to look
after such matters, and they have
attended we'll to their business for
years, as results prove; but the
Hoosiers don't go running after
politicians, nor allow politicians to
run their organizations. On the
contrary, the politicians come to the
workingmen asking what they
want and eagerly strive to get it
for them.

this spring is the ordering of three pieces

Portrait of st. Frances of Rome
Formally Installed Last
Sunday.
Eloquent Sermon Preached by
Rev. Father Leo of st.
Boniface's.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PAINTING

The Church of St. Frances of Rome al
Clifton was we'll filled with devout Cath.
olics last Sunday both at the morning
and evening services. The occasion was
the celebration of the feast of st. Frances
of Rome, the patron saint of this pretty
little chuch. The feast proper fell on
Monday, March 9, but it was deemed
wise to hold the formal celebration on
Sunday. At 10 o'clock solemn high
mass was celebrated with Rev. Father
Thomas White as celebrant; Rev.
Michael Melody, deacon, and an eccles-
iastic from St. Boniface's convent as
sub-deacon. An appropriate sermon was
preached by Rev. Thomas White, the be-
loved pastor of the congregation.
The main feature of the celebration
was the unwilling of the handsome oil
painting of ST. francesca Rome, work
of art from the brush of the famous
Italian painter, Benedetto Glove. After
the unwilling ceremony solemn vespers
we're sung with Rev. Father Hugh J..
Brady as celebrant; Rev. Father A. J..
Brady as deacon; Rev. Father Michael
Melody as sub-deacon, and Rev. Father
White. as master of ceremonies. Rev.
Fathers Daniel O'Sultivan and John
O'Connor were seated in the sanctuary.
Rev. Father Leo, o. F. M, of St.
Boniface's church, preached an eloquent
sermon on the Life and Works of St.
Frances of Rome" Father Leo spent
several weeks in Rome last year and
among places of interest that he visited
while in the Eternal City was the shrine
of St. Frances, one of the most beautiful
of the many interesting shrines in that
city. Father Leo told of seeing the
original painting in Rome at this shrine
and also told of seeing the artist at work
on the copy of the original which now
adorns St. Francs church. He had no
idea then that he would ever see the
work in the United States, much less in
Louisville. Rev. Father Leo's sermon
was listened to with attention and mer-
tied much favorable comment.
1t will not be amiss to repeat the de-
scription of this work of art. Irrespective
of its massive gilt frame, it weighs fully
500 pounds and is ten feet high and eight
feet broad. st. Frances is represented as
holding book. At her feet is her guard
ian angel and at her right is a basket of
bread. 1t has been pronounced by capa-
BILE critics the finest work of art that ever
came to Louisville and is one of the finest
that ever came to the United States. The
painting was SO large that it could not be
taken through the doors of the church.
A window had to be taken out in order
to bring the picture inside. A brass plate
handsomely engraved attached to the
bottom bears the following inscription:

County, KY, forty-three years ago. He
removed to this city in 1879 and six years
later joined Division of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians.
Since his admission to membership he
has always taken an active part in the
affairs of the order and has been one of
its foremost promoters. During his
eighteen years of hard work as a member
he has never been i'll enough to draw a
benefit. He has served two terms as
Recording Secretary and four terms as
President of Division 8. His election as
County President was fitting tribute to
his fidelity to the order. There are only
three members in Division 8 that have
a longer membership than Mr.. Sullivan.

LIBELINd UNION LABOR.


That was a bad break of an
officer of the Miners Union in the
Kentucky State convention, de-
nouncing Judge Adams for grant
ing a temporary injunction on APP
plication of the President of the
Wabash railroad. It's basis is
ignorance of and disrespect for law
and government, and smacks of
anarchy, utterly contrary to the
spirit and basis of organized labor,
and at variance with the utterance
and action of the workmen directly
interested, who submit out of re-
spect to law and confine their
resistance to manly protest and
legal methods. The Wabash rail-
road has the right to apply to the
courts. Judge Adams has simply
recognized that right, and in grant
ing a temporary injunction stops
further progress of the trouble till
the case can be heard on its merits
to decide if the employees have vio-
lated, or are planning to violate the
law, as charged by the railroad
officials; the employees have an
swered, denying the charges and
asking that the temporary injunc-
ton be dissolved. Their course is
the proper one, since it is based
upon respect for law and reliance
upon legal methods. If the decis
ion is against them they will
doubtless change their procedure to
accord with the law.
Labor unions desire only to act
within the law and by legal
methods in carrying out their pur-
poses and in settling grievances;
their preambles so declare and the
vast majority of their members are
so inclined, though at times they
may unconsciously, under aggrava-
ton, declare and act otherwise.
Denunciation of government,
law and judges only manifest a
spirit of outlawrY, a disregard for
law and order and the rights of
others, furnishing the enemies of
honest labor with facts and argu-
ment that labor organizations are a
menace to the peace and safety of
the community and all law and
authority, justifying injunctions
and more arbitrary measures for
repression. And worst of all, such
harangues place organized labor in
a false and unenviable attitude,
antagonizing public opinion and
arraying against it law-abiding
people and the power of the gov
eminent.
1t is high time that the conserva-
tive and thoughtful workingmen
muzzle their ignorant and excit-
able brethren, especially those
holding Office in their unions, who
thus libel and bring upon them
undeserved condemnation and the
force of law. Such utterances as
those of an officer in the State
miners convention are not in ac-
cordance with the purposes, meth
DDS nor sentiment of organized
labor, and if he were in the juris-
diction of Judge Adams court and
sent to jail for contempt he would
receive his deserts. Workingmen
learn that they, as we'll as others,
must respect the law and authority,
and the sooner they do so and con-
vince the public of the fact the
better it will be for organized labor,
which has to bear the reproach and
suffer the consequences of such
misguided oratory.

During a strike in that city the

IRELANO'S DAY.

Ireland is not one OF the WoIlo
powers, nor the Irish as numerous
or wealthy as other races, yet no
country or race are so universally
known and respected, despite CEN
turtles of oppression, calumny and
ridicule. With no government,
nor recognition among the nations:
with no possessions, education or
rights as a race; subjected to arbi-
trary and brutal rule depriving
them of all but life; driven from
the land and those they love with
undying and irrepressible devotion,
the Irish are wanderers the world
over, but their hearts warnings
ever remain in the Green Isle.
Patriotism, faithful and unswerv-
ing, that stands the test of sacri-
fee, suffering, privation, derision
and long waiting, are marked
characteristics of the Irish people.
An Irishman may forswear allegi-
ance to government, but to Ireland
never. Next to his God comes
the Green Isle. Wherever the
Irish have gone in all the world
Ireland's praises have been her
aided, her sorrows and wrongs re-
counted, her hopes cherished, and
the Irish, however humble, have
made manifest that devotedness
and true patriotic spirit which has
gained for Ireland and the Irish
the respect and sympathy of all
who recognize right and justice.
Ireland has no standing among
the nations of earth; no govern
ment, no army nor navy; no repre-
sentative nor voice in the councils
nor at courts of nations; no COM
merce, wealth nor products to at
tract the attention of men or
powers-yet Ireland, of all the
countries of the world, has the re-
spect and admiration of the people
IF all nations and climes, as evil
denced in the universal observance
of her natal day-the feast of her
Apostle St. Patrick. Everywhere
is it honored. Not only in Ireland
and by Irishmen and their children
the world over, but the people of
all races. subjects and citizens of
all governments, all classes, wear a
sprig of green, as manifestation
of their respect for Ireland and her
devoted people.
In oratory, poem, song and
music, Ireland's glories, sorrows,
wrongs. hopes, are recounted; the
suffering, unyielding and persistent
devotion and efforts of her children
lauded, and their aspirations en-
couraged that Ireland may-as is
her right and as her faithful people
deserve-one day take her place
among the nations of earth, free
and untrammeled.
Ireland's day is the annual re-
minder that cruel repression, cal
umny and derision can not crush a
patriotic people nor extinguish the
spark of national life. but on the
contrary wins the approval and
