A PEOPLE
Seumas McManus Delights His
Hearers.

For the benefit of the good-sized
audience that assembled in the Park
Congregational church last night, Seu-
mas McManus, poet, short story writer
and lecturer, sketched an Irish pastoral
scene and peopled it with the quaint
lovable, witty Irish folk about whom
the outside world is just beginning to
learn.
Mr.. McManus' method of entertain
ing his audience does not remotely
suggest the lecture. He merely pre-
sents a series of ininitably sketched
portraits of the people he is most IA
miliar with, and as he points out each
one he tells the humorous tales that
are associated with the originals of
those portraits.
Mr.. McManus is from the North of
Ireland, from Donegal. In this part
of the Emerald isle live Father Dan,
Donald, the fiddler; the hired boy,
Thomas; lame Jimmie and a num-
Der of interesting characters whom the
lecturer introduced last night. He
himself was not introduced. Unattend-
ed, he walked to the rostrum and with
out any preliminaries began his lee
ture, which was not a lecture at all,
but a most fascinating entertainment.
In appearance Mr.. McManus resem-
bles a Scotchman more than an Irish
man, but one forgets this resemblance
as soon as he begins to speak. His
hunor is of the rich Irish yariety-as
is also his brogue.
The speaker declared that he could
not understand why all blunders Of
speech, popularity spoken of as bulls"
should be credited to the Irish. And
he told some very good stories to show
that other nations were occasionally
guilty of these bluaders. And then he
told some other stories just to prove
that when an Irishman was guilty of a
t'bulI' it was sure to be particularly
funny one.
Mr.. McManus read selections from
some of his stories and he also read
some of his poems. These latter were
all in sympathy with the pastoral
scenes he had sketehed. They brought
the home life of the Irish people-the
small farmers and the fisher folk
very WILDLY before the audience.
The speaker dWelt only on the hap
Ply side of Irish life last night. He
made few references to the pathetic
history of the people, but endeayored
to present the Irish characteristics of
humor, caustic wit and general good
fellowship which the world has come
to associate with the name of Irish
man. The hearty applause of the au-
dience testified to his success. Mr.. Nc
Manus was given a most cordial re-
ception

Abatement Board Can Rebate
Bethel Assessment.

If the board Of abatement SO desires,
1t can rebate the taxes levied against
the Bethel. Corporation Attorney Mi
chael holds that the Bethel can be
classed as a charitable institution and
the property held to be free from taxes.
This opinion, says Mr.. Michael, is
based to some extent upon a former
court decision, in which it was held
that the old Bethel boat could not be
taxed. Mr.. Michael holds that the same
rule applies to the hotel that is now
maintained, the same ideas and pur-
poses obtaining as was the case when
the boat was used.
The building and grounds owned by
the Bethel are assessed at $45,050,
which would mean a tax of $1.310.96 a
year. The assessment appears pecul-
lar when it is considered that the
Bethel association recently purchased
the property for So, 900.
Final disposition of the question is
left with the abatement board, but if
the decision should be against the as
ISOLATION an appeal to the courts can
be taken.

Hotel Fire in San Francisco Caused by
Rats.

San Francisco, March 16.--Rats
caused $4,000 fire and panic
among the guests in the Manhattan
hotel at the intersection Of Market and
Fell streets last night The shouting
of the alarm throughout the hostlery
threw one woman into Mysteries,
caused another to faint and created
the widest excitement.
In the general alarm following the
discovery of the fire there was a hasty
exit of most OF the occupants of the
fourth and fifth floors to the floors be-
low. There we're a few OF the guests,
however, who remained calm and as
sisted the firemen materially. Among
them were william O. Lorigan, JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court Of this state
and his wife. They uncoiled the fire
hose from it's reel and dragged 1t up
o flight of stairs to the fifth floor,
where the firemen were struggling
with the flames. Mrs. Lorigan was not
in the least effected and when the fire
was under control quietly descended
to the lower floor with her husband.
1t was a needless alarm that aroused
the sleeping inmates of the house. for
the firemen checked the blaze before
It had acquired any great headway.
The principal damage was confined to
the dining room on the fifth floor
