Old Col.

DISAPPEARANCE
OF PHILADELPHIA MAN

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Men promi-
nent in Irish organizations here have
been informed of the strange disap-
pearance of the wealthy grocer and
woolen goods manufacturer, Owen
Kelly. of Philadelphia.
Kelly, who was formerly president
of the Catholic Total Abstinence
League, was one of the foremost sup
porters Of John Z. Redmond and the
Irish National League in this country.
1t is said he was last seen October 25
at meeting of the Continental Trust
Company, of which is is a director, in
Philadelphia. 1t is stated that he led
the element of the Clan-na Gael in
Philadelphia which took up the Red
mond land scheme for Ireland two
years ago. A feud followed. which
was carried into the last convention of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Search for Kelly has been very
quiet, his disappearance being known
to few persons. Police and other
means have failed to find trace of him,
and for some reason which none
would disclose, there seems to be
ground to believe that knowledge of
his fate is to be found in that city.
It was his custom to come here twice
weekly on business.
Kelly is SO years old, feet 10
inches in height and weighs 100

men about town none is more popular
among the smart set than the Bohemian
Cafe, at III Market street. conducted by

The Bohemian Cafe is the favorite re-
sort of business men. artists and mem

French and German artists The wains-
coting and fittings of the place are of ma
hogany polished to a high degree. The

scenes. while the mural decorations are of
gold with a background of cream Color
The lunch served to patrons IS all that
the most epicurean taste could demand.

SPLENDID YACHT
Earl Fitzwilliam Is the Own
er of the Largest Private
Pleasure Craft in World

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Some Americans,
who enjoy a home on the rolling deep
and have the money wherewith to af-
ford it, may find it worth while to fol-
low the example of Earl Fitzwilliam-
This nobleman has just purchased the
Union Castle liner Harlech Castle, with
the intention of using her as a yacht.
AS she is of 1864 tons, he will probably
be able to boast that he has the largest
private yacht in the world.
The vessel did not cost him anything
like as much as he would have had to
pay for a craft of the same size built
to order. There are seven or eight SIM
liar vessels, some much larger, now laid
UP at southampton. having been dis
carded from the regular service to
make way for bigger and speedier
steamships For people who like plenty
of room and are content with moderate
speed they would make excellent
yachts, and their size gives them an
imposing appearance.
