Banquet Triumph.
The banquet of the club held Thurs
day night was one of the triumphs Of
its short career. Irish Americans not
only from Superior, but also Duluth
and towns in Wisconsin, f1ocked to the
meeting. The committee, at the last
moment, received messages from sew
eral of the invited speakers announc
ing that smaller towns had called
them at last moment and the guests
generously cheered the missing men
who disappointed them to care for the
Irish Americans at other places.
Like true Irishmen, the Superior men
adapted themselves to the existing
conditions. c. D. O'Brien, of st. Paul.
one of the guests of honor, was press
ed into service as the speaker of the
evening. William D., Dwyer, one Of
Superior's most eloquent attorneys, as

gerald. of Duluth, though entirely I'M
prepa, D and thoroughly shocked, to
himself born orator, and last, and
not by any means least, Paddy Doran,
the sweet singer of the head of the
lakes, brought the guests to their feet
with etCome Back to Erin" and then
brushed away the blur from the eyes
with the song of the Mick who threw
the brick and will never throw another.
The story Of the riSh-Americans of
Superior must include a paragraph of
praise for Landlord McGraw, of the
Great Northern hotel Not one thing
that would aid in increasing the en-
joyment Of the guests was left undone
by the genial boniface. The big dining
room was draped with the green flags
Of Ireland and the Stars and Stripes,
the pillars were hidden by banks Of
green ropes and at the plate of each
guest was a small sprig of shamrock.
The same officers will arrange for
the next banquet of the club. J. T.
Elliott, president; F. S. Kelley, vice
president; T. w. Moran, secretary, and
j. G. Donnelly, treasurer, appeared
Thursday night ready to turn back
into the ranks, but the members re-

officers continue.

The Evening Post, one of the leading
daily papers of Cincinnati, Ohio, hearing
of DIT. Motifs success. asked if he would
be willing to give a public test to demon
strate his faith in his treatment and prove
its merits by treating five persons suffer-
ing from Brights Disease and Diabetes,
free of charge, the Post to select the cases
and the examination to be in the medical
department Of a prominent university.
DR.. Mott accepted the conditions, and
twelve persons were selected. After a
most critical chemical analysis and micro
scopic examination had been made in the
university laboratory, five out of the
twelve were decided upon, the professor
making the examination remarking, II
should say they are all fatal cases." These
cases were placed under DR.. Motifs care,
and reports published each week in the
Post. In three months all were discharged
by DR.. Mott as cured. the final examina-
ton being made at the university. The
persons treated regained their normal
weight, strength and appetite, and were
able to resume their usual work. Any
one desiring to read the details Of this
public test can obtain copies of the paper
by writing to DR. Mott for them.

Seven years ago, when the biting
winds of early March were sweeping
the SHOWS of winter through the rig
ging of the big lake boats. bound fast
by ice in the bay at Superior, Wis,
little knot of Irish-Americans gather
ed about a table and gazed long and
reverentIy at tiny and tangled mass
of dry and faded leaves-just bit Of
shamrock from the "ould countrie."
That was the beginning of the tale
of three leaves of shamrock and the
Irish Americans of Superior. The end
Of the tale cannot be told, for the end
will not be until Irish-Americans in
Wisconsin end.
Seven years ago the one faded bunch
of green leaves so dear to the Irish
mans heart came from far across the
sea with an inspiration to that little
knot of men at the head of the lakes.
On the night of Thursday last other
dried but real shamrocks spoke to more
than 200 Irish-Americans at Superior.
Next year more shamrocks will come

The little shamrocks that came seven
years ago to Superior are held directly
responsible for the Irish American club

than 200 of Superior's best citizens.

most curious examples of patient train

differs from all the others.
To begin, the club is not club.
When the founders made their first
plans there was no attempt to form
club. The sole idea of the promoters
was to bring together once a year the
Irish Americans Of their town, and
this idea has been carried out. Each
year officers are named, but these Off
GERS are there only to see that proper
arrangements are made for the next
meeting.
No Troublesome Rules.

club has neither constitution nor by

to be found. Any Irish-American, If

ADVOCATE The OPEN SHOP
oITIzENs' INDUSTRIAL coNvEN
s. TON AT NEW YORK DIS.
cussEs SUBJECT.

z - e ~ 5 4 ? :
New York, Nov. 30 Members of
the Citizens Industrial association,
representing all sections of the coun-
try, were present when the second an
nual convention of the organization
opened in the new Hotel Aston The
plans for the days session included a
number of formal addresses, in addi-
ton to the appointment Of committees
and other preliminary work Of like
nature.
It is the aim of the convention to
bring about a complete organization Of
manufacturers, business men and all
large employers of labor, to advocate
the "open shop" idea. All employers
not affiliated with the association were
invited to attend the convention and
listen to- discussions on the issues Of
the open or closedsshop, restriction OF
output, limitation of apprentices and
questions of similar nature.
In his address Of welcome President
George G. Moon ofsthe Manufacturers
association of New York warned the
encounters during their stay in the
city. He informed them that the
place where the convention was being
held was "in the Tenderloin, the tough
est part OF New York." and cautioned
them to be careful of their valuables.
Mr.. Moon said that the idea of the
"open shop of which the convention
is the exponent, has not progressed as
far in New York as it has in other
parts Of the country.
President David M. Parry, in his ad-
dress, reviewed the growth of the
"open shop" movement and said that
within year 1000 factories have
opened their doors to workmen with
out regard to their membership in
unions.

of high rank, on the tribunal which
Is to determine the questions which
have arisen between Great Britain and
Russia over the firing by Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's Baltic feet upon the Brit
tsh traWlers in the North sea, and the
other being an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Moody regarding the
legality, under the lottery laws, of
guessing contests" which have been
conducted by many newspapers and
magazines.
The invitation extended to the pres
ident by Great Britain and Russia to
name member of the tribunal was
considered carefully, especially by the
president and Secretaries Hay and
Morton. When the cabinet adjourned
no definite conclusion as to who should
be selected had been reached: but it
was settled definitely that the ap-
pointee would be rear admiral of the
navy. 1t is practically certain choice
would be made among the three Off
cers-Rear Admirals Davis, Chadwick
and Sands. Admiral Dewey was con-
sidered for the appointment and the
desire was generally expressed that he
should have it, but he has let it be un-
derstood that he does not care for the
honor. Announcement of an appoint
ment may be expected in few days.
Some time ago, on the request of
Postmaster General Wynne, the presi-
dent directed the attorney general to
submit to him an opinion as to the
propriety, under the law restricting
the operations of lottery enterprises
through the mails, of guessing con-
tests of various kinds which have been
features of many publications for sew
eral years. That opinion was submit
ted during the day, and was turned
over by the president to Postmaster
General Wynne, who hereafter will be
guided in his direction of the depart
ment by it. The opinion is of most
sweeping character and, while the
postmaster general has no inclination
to work hardship upon anybody, he
will put the attorney generals judg-
ment into effect as soon as may be
practicable.
The attorney general says the
schemes are in effect lotteries under
the guise of guessing contests.

Visit to St, Louis.

Washington, Nov. 30.-President
Roosevelt arrived here at 7:02 a. m.
from his visit to the ST. Louis exposi-
ton. The special train was awaited
by a throng of several hundred people
in the Pennsylvania railroad station
and as the train drew into the station
the crowd broke into cheers. It was
thirty-fve minutes later when the
president, accompanied by Mrs. Roose-
welt and his daughter, Miss Alice
Roosevelt, alighted from their car.
They were conducted Immediately to
their carriage, which was in waiting,
and driven rapidly to the White
House.
The trip of the president, ended by
his safe arrival at the White House,
in some circumstances was one of the
most notable he ever took. The ar
rangements for the comfort, convent
ence and personal safety of the presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were the most
thorough ever made. They were
planned, with the approval of Mr..
Roosevelt, by Secretary Loeb and John

They were accepted by President

company and by the st. Louis officials
and were carried into effect absolutely

New York, Nov. 3O.-With children
held under their arms, clinging around

CORONER SAYS SUICIDE.
Verdict in Case of Prominent cincin.
natl Railroad Man

HdlI railroad Man.
Cincinnati, Nov. 30.-Coroner Wea-
yer has rendered verdict in the case
of c. A. Parker, vice president of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Pere Marquette railroad, who died here
suddenly in his office Nov. 10, finding
that death was caused by suicide with
prussic acid.
Mr.. Parker's death at the time was
supposed to be from natural causes
and no autopsy was held, neither was
the coroner disposed to hold an in
quest and the body was forwarded to
st. Louis for burial. Mr.. Parker had
recently come into the service of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Pere Marquette system and had been
unusually busy in the work of reor-
ganization. He had arrived from a
business trip on the day of his death
and had given no indication of ill
health or of mental disturbance. 1t
was discovered afterwards that just
before his death he had placed in his
desk all valuables carried on his per-
son. He was seen to step behind a
screen where the water cooler was
placed and where, presumably, he
swallowed the fatal drug.
On the day of Mr.. Parker's burial
and almost at the hour of his funeral
Miss Elsie Gesterling died by her own
hand in Chicago. It developed that
she had been his stenographer in Den
yer and that there was a story of i'm
proper relations between them. The
husband of Miss Gesterling's mother
said after his stepdaughter's death
that he believed that Parker and Miss
Gesterling had agreed to die together
1t was shown that just previous to Par
ker's death he had visited Miss Ges-
terling in Chicago. After these devel-
opments the coroner decided to hold
an inquest. From the testimony taken
he now finds that Mr.. Parker's death
was caused by prussic acid self-admin-
iStered.
