Al TIE IRISH BALL.

Johnnie Finnegan lead the marching at the
starting of the ball,
With Shaughnessy's daughter Mary who was
more than six feet tall,
And was followed by McCarty and his sister
Ellen Jane,
Who was followed by O'Rielly, OHagan and
O'Kane,
with the wives Of Danny Dugan. McSweene,
and O'Hare,
will tell you of the Irish, and the Irish that
were there.
Foxy Quiller's wife was missing, but Mrs. Ra
gab danced with him,
Till Hennessy kicked Mcdinnis on the knee
bone OF the shin.
Then Grady yelled. 20 murder. would you
look at Murphy's eyew
For O'Rielly's wife had soaked him hard, when
coming thro' the rye"
Milligan got to singing about "the wearing OF
the green"
And was Joined in the chorus by Ryan, Dennis
and O'Keene,
While Sullivan was a scrappln' with McGov.
erns brother Bill,
With o. Hearn and Dooley laughing themselves
just fit to kill.
Widow Holligan called McCraffey's kid "A
liar by the watch
When he said her face reminded him Of an
Anglo-Saxon blotch,
But Finnee an stopped the argument by buttin'
in the race
And ended up the scrap by jamming Mike
McCraffey's face.
OHollihan. the copper, came praneing up the
hall
With his star of hope ablazng, and Sheeny
jewelers. gall,
A carrying along the widow of McGinty's old
est boy
Whose eyes were red from weeping at the scene
of SO much joy.
Rafferty's twins we're gliding like pair of roll
er skates,
Milligan was in the corner doing off bunch
of snakes,
When Callahan hit the ceiling with an awful
sickening thud,
Having been soaked by Mickey Dillon with
water elm club.
Things were drifting nicely now, there was 60
ing to be some run,
Costgan called OBrlen squint eyed son of
gun
And wanted to bet two dollars he could lick
him anywhere,
When he caught a bolt of lightning from the
copper that was there.
Once more the band was playing, 1.-THE Irish
Jubilee"
And things were getting quiet like, with liquor
flowing free,
When the man that played the fiddle smashed
the cuss that blowcd the horn,
Because Columbus wasn't Irish, and wasn't
Irish born.
Then speech was made by Donovan telling Of
pretty Mary McLain
And the things she said in Boston, and the his
tory of Jim Blame,
When McMilliken made the statement that
Lincoln ate an Irish stew,
And when Washington crossed the Delaware he
drank some Irish 'dew"
The Judge next moring lectured them, the Irish
that were there,
And said he would have fined them if he'd a
thought that it was fair,
So advised reconciliation and fight for"Old
Home Rule
And married Micke OHagan and Mary Ann
O'Tooe.

 Mir. Ryan recently received a tele- gram from Gov. Brady, deploring the opposition to Williams, and declaring that Williams is the choice of the ma jority of influential people of South eastern Alaska. } Williams, Mir. Ryan says, is a capa- ble man and an old resident. Foote is also capable, but not so long resident of the territory, and does not begin to have the popular backing that Williams has. Mir. Foote's political affiliations are not stated. Presumably he is a republican.

Investigates Controver. sy Over Williams.
SEfDS FOR PAPERS
And Will Decide Who Shall Be Commissioner to the St.
 Louis Fair.

President Roosevelt has taken a hand in the controversy over the pro- posed appointment of Louis L. Williams, of Juneau, to be an Alaskan commis- sioner to the St. Louis fair. At the presidents request all the papers in the case were forwarded to Oyster Bay from the interior departments and the president will decide whether or not Williams shall be appointed, says a Washington dispatch to the Post-Intel- ligsncer.
 2 Assistant Secretary of the Interior Ryan, who some time ago appointed Judge Williams commissioner, but who was obliged to withdraw the appoint ment at the instance of Secretary Hitchcock, returned today. Mir. Ryan says there is nothing in the opposition to Williams except politics, the sole charge of tangible nature being that Williams is democrat. According to , Mir. Ryan, the opposition to Williams . originated with Republican Commit. teeman Held, of Juneau. Mir. Held is backing Juneau man by the name of Foote for the commissionership.
 Mir. Ryan says the story that Williams promised to help President Francis, of the exposition. in his as. pirations for the democratic presiden. tial nomination, in return for being boosted into the fair ommissionership
 is nonsense. Furthermore, he says Mir. Held was among the Juneau citi
 zens who originally indorsed William!
