1t floats. This flag has been borne
triumphantly through five wars and it
has never been dishonored, and yet 1t
Is the emblem of simple peace, and of
good will and amity among the nations
of the earth. At the beginning this
flag of ours was an emblem of 13
states; now it floats over As. At first
1t was held by about 100000 of peo-
PIE, but now over SO,OOO,0 900 claim it as
the flag of their country, the greatest
upon the earth. Few subjects have
been so fully spoken and written of as
the "Stars and Stripes" and few will
hold our love and devotion more sin
cerely than that most symbolic of ban
ners. No story can be more ennobling
and none more thrilling than the story
Of our grand ensign, beneath whose
folds the patriots of '76 marched to
victory over the armies of the British
tyrant and oppressor. Whose heart
does not beat faster with pride and
patriotism as he glances back over
the nations history and reviews the
many daring deeds enacted, that the
red, white and blue" might wave
over tn Gland of the free?
Hibernian Knights, I now present
this flag to you in the name and on be-
half of Mrs. Mary Cleary, and 1 am
sure that into the hands of a more
loyal body or organization it could not
be placed. Confident am 1 that should
the hour ever come that this flag sought
defense that you would be the first to
spring into the breach and wave aloft
this peerless banner.
Thousands upon thousands of your
fellow Irish-Americans have fallen in
it's defence, and as have said, should
the moment come when it demands de-
tense again, thousands upon thousands
of your fellow Irish-Americans will
again offer up their lives for it's per-
petuity. Flag of our beloved country,
Esto perpetua.

Old-timers in Lead and Deadwood
are wondering If they are hearing
and seeing things Alright says the
Denver Mining Record. For nearly
80 years they have been accustomed
to the wide open saloon, with its
crowd of miners and prospectors
making life gay around the gambl-
ing tables and bar. Now, they see
the games of chance removed, screens
down from the windows of the sa-
looms. chairs and tables cleared out,
and all seem new to the looker-on.
Some say it is spasmodic reform
movement of the anti-saloon people,
which will last a month or so. and
then the lid will come off" But
those who know how this reform
started here in the Black Hills are Of
the opinion that 1t has come to stay.
Just what the immediate effect will
be of all this change remains to be
seen. The larger majority of bust
ness men hail the change with pleas
ure. The miners from outside camps
who have for the last. % years come
to the town for grub stake" will no
longer have the gambling tables to
feed with their money. The business
men will get the largest share and
there will be more money deposited
in the banks. This much all the bus
mess men concede.
In Deadwood there were about 20
employed gamblers. each of whom re-
ceived Sc a day, making a daily pay
roll of $420. or nearly $4,000 a month.
There were something like dozen
gambling outfits in the city of Dead
wood, each owner being taxed" a $25
fine by the city for the privilege of
running the game. The city of Dead
wood received yearly about $4,000
from this gambling source. The reve-
nue. at Lead was little more than at
Deadwood. for a larger fine was re-
ceived from the gamblers.
Deadwood has at the present time
81 saloons, the keepers of which de-
clare that their business will be
ruined as soon as the gambling feat
ure is removed. These saloons have
been paying $500 a year license, $500
OF which has gone to the city, and
$400 to the county. This has made a
revenue to this city of over $4,000 a
year from the saloons and the total
of about $1,000 to the city from both
the gamblers and saloons.
The revenue at Lead has been about
the same as at Deadwood. 1t will
be little time before the city coun-
ellis can adjust their financial plans
but it is not considered difficult
matter to solve.
Tourists have come to Deadwooc
to see gambling in the wild and woody
west, and have gone away with a
wrong impression of the actual re-
sources of the Black Hills. They have
associated mining too much witt
the gambling idea.

NEW YORK LETTER

New York, July 1.-Governor's Is
land is to have military chapel. to
cost approximately $4,000. 1t will
be erected at the expense of Trim
ity Corporation and will occupy a
commanding site overlooking Butter
milk Channel. The United States gov
ernment is now increasing the area
of the island, and the erection of the
chapel will be along the line of other
Improvements. The building will take
the place of ST. Cornelius chapel, a
wooden structure erected in 1S41.
Trinity Corporation has since 1868
provided the chaplain for the army
post in the bay. The clergymen have
been nominated by the rector and
chosen by the general commanding,
with the approval of the war depart
ment This is an unusual arrange
ment for at all other army posts in
the country the chaplain is a member
of the regular army and holds COM
mission. The corporation pays the
salary of the Governors Island chap
lain and the government provides a
house for him.
One of the tallest buildings in the
world is to be erected on the site of
Dr. Parkhurst's Madison Square Pres
byterian church by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company. The COM
pany already owns the rest of the
block, and will raze the church as soon
as the new edifice on the opposite
corner of Madison avenue and Twen-
ty-fourth street is finished. The lofty
tower will bear somewhat the same
relation to the Metropolitan Life
building as the tower on the Madison
Square Garden to the garden.
Though the tower will not be as
high as the Washington monument,
555 feet, and perhaps not as high as
the tower on the Philadelphia city
| hall, .537 feet, it will be taller than
the Statue of Liberty, some of the
loftiest cathedrals of the old world
and the Pyramid of Cheops.
Professional Cadaver Patrol.
One of the most interesting men in
the police department, jefferson
Morrell, the patrolman at the morgue,
is about to retire. Morrell is one of
the old men of the department, hav-
ing been policeman for nearly 35
years. Prior to his appointment he
was boatman. and is known as an
expert in judging the length of time
bodies have been in the water. In
1889 he was detailed at the morgue,
| and has been there since. He has
handled thousands of bodies, and, it
is related, got so accustomed to the
work that he said he liked it,"
Morrell distinguished himself in the
Slocum disaster. He handled and
checked all the 800 odd bodies taken
to the 26th street docks and morgue,
and mis- records are the most import
ant of those of that disaster in the
archives of the department of public
charities. He has not been well
since.

THE PEON OF MEXICO.
Picturesque and Patient Slaves of the
Republic.

The Mexican peon is the backbone
of the republic, says the Pilgrim for
June. Without him the great landed
estates. or haicendas, would lie in idle
ness while agricultural and CONNER
cial interests would staguaIe. OF
cast-iron constitution, he can endure
apparently without effort the hardest
sort of a drudgery.
His energy comes from a diet that
consists chiefly of ground peppers,
beans or frijoles, and large Quanti-
ty of tortillas. He works from to
6, enjoying in the meantime his two
simple meals. In general the Indian
farm laborers are of a submissive, and
respectful disposition. Like the ne
groes of the south they are not far
from the main building, so as to be
on hand whenever their services are
REQUIRED.
They usually insist, however. on
celebrating their holidays, which less
ems their real usefulness about rs per
cent. The holidays are numerous. and
afford the laborer frequent o|portuni-
ties to ouaff from the stupefyinS
pulque bowl. Their stock of surplus
! change is not apt to be excessive; il

but little over 90 cents a day

hacienda. who voluntarily raised the
wages of his hands to IS cents n day
found himself without laborers for two
days of the week. AS the extra wages
supported them for the entire week,
what was the need of working?
These Iaborers are of all sizes and
ages. but whether young or old all
bear alike upon their brow the de-
pressing and degrading leather thong
that makes them beasts of burden.
The supply of laborers is, so to speak,
perennial.

claimed Along Snake River.
w. H Schenck. of Caldwell, was in
the city Friday, in consultation with
state officials regarding his irrigation
enterprise in Owyhee county, by
which he expects to irrigate between
10000 and 10000 acres along the
Snake river, says the Boise Statesman,
John Bruce, of Caldwell, who owns
considerable lsnd adjoining the
Schenck tract, was also in the city

afternoon train.
Mr.. Schenck's scheme for the re-
clamation of the Owyhee county land
which is being prosecuted by the
Owyhee County Ditch & Reservoir
company, is to take water from Sue.
cor creek and conserve 1t in a series
of three reservoirs, the lower OF
which is now in process of construc-
ton.
About $4,000 has been expended
Mr.. ,Schenck states, upon the 50-fOot
dam at the lower end of this reser-
voir, which is to cover 1900 acres and
is to contain 1000 acre feet of water
The dam will be about so feet high
in the center, this height continuing
for a distance of 1900 feet in tota
length of nearly a half mile.
There is a tract of about 10000
acres below the reservoir, but the wa
ter supply is sufficient for only about
10000 acres. This land. Mr.. Schenl
states, is level and suitable for every
variety of crops. One advantage Is
that it is quite low in altitude, being
at an elevation of only about 2300 fee
above sea level at the lower reservoir
This fact makes long season, hay ant
