AN ANCIENT THRIVING ORDER

AZ the head of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians in America is James
f. Dolan, who has just been re-elect-
ed national president. His home is
in Syracuse, n. Y.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians
was organized in Ireland when the
infamous penal laws were in opera
ton, and but little documentary evil
denCe of its existence is obtainable.
This is due to the danger at that
time of carrying any papers the pos
session of which would entail loss of
life, and also the fact that education
among the Irish Catholics was pro
scribed. When it is remembered that
long before 1870 the statute Of Kill
kenny enacted that the Irish Ian

outside a few large centers of Irish
population, such as the cities of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and a few
others, very little was known of it
for a number of years. When the
Irish people settled in the other large
cities and towns the order took root
and fOurished among them until to-
day it extends to every state and ter
ritOry on this continent, as well as
to the Dominion OF Canada and Aus
tralia, Hawaii and the Argentine Re-
public. In the United States there
is scarcely city or town that has
not one or more divisions of the An
cient order of Hibernians.
1t was mainly through President
Dolan's efforts that the task of ban
ishing from the American stage Ger
tain productions and vile caricatures
which We're in no way characteristic
or creditable to the race was accom-
plished.

guage was felony and placed the
teaching thereof under ban, the rea-
son will be apparent for the lack of
written history regarding the organ
ization's infancy.
The purpose which inspired its
founders was to keep alive the spirit
of Irish nationality, so dear to the
heart of the Gael under the most try
ing circumstances, to rectify the
wrongs of the poor and oppressed and
also to protect the Irish priests 10 the
exercise of their sacred functions.
Those were the days when to be a
Hibernian was to be ready at a mo-
ment to lay down life itself in de-
Tense of the faith and of its priests.
The days when the sacrifice of the
mass could be offered only on the
mountain top, in some secluded glen,
or in some gloomy cavern far from
the haunts of men.
The Ancient order of Hibernians
was transplanted to the United States
about so years age, although il is
said to have existed in Maryland and
other states previous TO that time.
Ii absorbed a great many of the old
er Irish societies existing for years
previous to its coming. However,

TIGERS WIN
BY DEFAULT
Pacific Coast League Standing.

The game went to the Tigers by
default yesterday. Dugdale had his
porters on the field, and it is alleged
that they played ball, but no jury in
the country would bring in a convic-
ton. IL was about all the Tacoma
fans could stand for, and unless the
visitors make a substantial brace,
which, it seems, is impossible, the
gate receipts will go glimmering
downward before the week is over.
Fishers men didn't do anything
phenomenal yesterday either, and
had the visitors shown the least dis
position to win the game they might
have done so on two or three coca
sions. There were errors galore on
both sides, but there was very little
opportune stick work Fitzgerald
was wild. and Fisher had st. Vrain
warmed up, ready to go in at any
. time. Iberg, for Portland, was a
failure, but his support would drive

CITIZEN M'CABE WANTS THE MAYOR

Editor Tacoma Times-Sir: 1t

mediately following the celebration
of the Fourth of July in Tacoma, at

appointee of Mayor Wright, who
draws a salary from the city, had

with the exception of the addresses
they were exact fac SMILES:

After two hours work he went
carefully through the notes; he had
not missed a girl in the town.
There was not a more popular
young man in Belleview than Willis,
and it was safe to count on nine out
of every ten of the invitations being
accepted.
The next day a basketful of pale
blue envelopes were dumped into the
post office and the next day the edi-
tors lock box failed to hold the notes
directed in dainty feminine hands.

The next week s edition of the Ban
ner bore a two page advertisement of
the coming attraction and immediate
ly the bellies of the town were be-
sieged with invitations Invariably
the answer was the same-"very
much regretted, but had accepted an
invitation from Mr.. Willis" That
night Willis office resembled
highly excited primary.
See here, Charlie" Jack Weston
began, being by common consent the
spokesman of this committee of the
whole, I've asked every girl in the
town to go with me to the show this
week, and every one of them has
said that she was to go with you.
Now, what in the name of all that
is wonderful are YOU up to? You
can't go with a hundred girls, can
you?'
The committee of the whole unan-
imously agreed that the idea was pre-
posterous.
Willis puffed his corn cob and he
beamed sweetly upon his friends. He
filled with little pink notes.
Glad you fellows dropped in" he
said with an innocent smile. Been
doing some literary work; like to
know what you think of it." He
handed one of the notes to Jack Wes-
ton. Jack read it aloud:
MY Dear Miss : I regret
more than l can express that my du-
ties will prevent my keeping my en-
gagement for the evening of the
eighteenth. ! beg, however, to sub
stitute our mutual friend, Mr.. -.
I'm the hope that this will be en-
tirely agreeable to you, | am, most
sincerely"
Jack picked up another note
it was an exact duplicate, unad-
dressed and with. blank space and
unsigned. A light of understanding
broke over his face and he gave vent
to howl of amusement and admira-
ton
Rather neat little thing, don't
you Think" asked Willis. Seems
to me they ought to be worth about
so each?"
Jacks hand came out of his peck
ct and deposited two silver dollars
on the table. He whispered a name,
a form was filled out, signed and the
letter was handed to him, and Willis
marked one name off the list.
Then the crowd comprehended the
transaction and Willis was almost
mobbed in their eagerness. At last
he succeeded in driving them into
the press room, to be admitted one
by one. In less than an hour the box
was empty.
The opera of the eighteenth was
an undOubted success. and many of
the young ladies We're heard to ex-
press regret that the arduous nature
of an editors duties prevented Mr.
Willis from attending.
AS for that unpTincipled young
man, he spent the evening in writing
stirring editorial upon the evils of
trusts, putting approximately at his
very first cigar for three weeks.

Willis rose hastily TO order the cut

Instead of so doing. however, he
suddenly sat down again and a grin

boyish face, gave token of the concep-

MUSIC BOXES.
More Sold Than Ever, Despite the
Phonoqraph's Competition,

New York sun: Nov you'd think :"
said the man in the music store That
monographs and gramophones and
mechanical piano players had cut into
the music box business. They haven't;
on the contrary, there are more music
boxes manufactured now than ten or
11fteen years ago, when the phono-
graph was only a wonderful new inven-
ton Which no one could use, and the
mechanical piano player was never
thought of.
There has been only one change.
we don't sell so many of the big, eX-
pensive boxes as we used to. There was
a time, about fifteen or twenty years
ago, when they We're made costing as
high as S1,5G0 or $1,000. Those boxes
We're as big as a piano. They had all
Kinds of arrangements of bells and
drums and string effects. Some of them
We're combined with mechanical tops.
For example, there would be line of
little drummers to ring the bells, and
they'd wiggle their heads in q life-like
manner as they worked their drum
sticks. The makers We're trying to get
as near the effect of a full orchestra
as they should by mechanical means.
When the monograph was made
practical, some six or seven years ago.
1t Knocked the pins out from under
these makers. The photograph could
reproduce whole orchestra of sixty or
more pieces, and the music box was no.
where in the game. The makers gave
IT up. Nowadays about $500 is the
limit of price.
The demand for ordinary boxes,
costing up to $3.50. has kept up steadily
and even gradually increased l sup
pose that the photograph got people
into the habit of using mechanical mu-
sic makers.
Music boxes are now made on the
disk plan. A whirling disk catches the
teeth i'm little holes punched in it's sur
face. The tone is not 50 good as in the
cylinder boxes. but the disks cost only
so or is cents. The best boxes are
still made on the cylinder plan
Although there are factories in New
Jersey, by far the greater part of the
worlds supply comes from Switzerland.
They are called Geneva boxes because
that town is OH the line of tourist
travel, big they are mostly manufac-
tured in st. Croix, back in the noun
tains.
The Swiss make the best and the
poorest boxes too. They make the very
high priced ones, and also those cheap
little half dollar affairs which are Civ
en- to children TO smash at Christmas.
The American boxes run through the
