GAELIC FESTIVAL.
Progress Of Celtic Revival Discussed
in New York Meeting.

| NEW YORK. April S.-"Belrim cead
| mile. failte romhaibh annso anocht,"
! was the way Major Edward T. Nc
| Crystal, president of the Gaelic So ,iety,
began his Introductory speech in Carnegie
| Hall last night, and he made a hit. His
remarks were addressed to the big audi
ence that turned out for the twenty eighth
annual Feis-Ceol agus Seanchas, or litera-
ry and musical festival of the society, and
there seemed to be enough gray-haired
men and women in the audience, which
was lined four deep back of the seats on
every floor. to know when to applaud during
Major McCrystal's opening remarks in
Gaelic and at the proper intervals through
out the extended Uriabhra address OF
Patrick f. Hegarty president of the Gaelic
Society of Springfield. Mass. Also enough
of the younger men and women CAV evil
dence of knowing what was being said to
please the Celtic revivaists
John ID. Crilnm!ns, wearing evening
clothes except for a dark green wastcoat
with small gold buttons, presided. Be
sides Mr.. Crimmins and Major McCrystal
there were on the platform Joseph Dunn,
Ph.D, professor of Irish at the Catholic
University, Washington; Mr.. Hegarty and
Supreme Court Justice Peter A. Hendrick.
Major McCrystal swung off into English
after short address of welcome in Gaelic
and told of what the society has done and
intends to do in the revival of interest in
Irish music, art and literature. Today
Irish has its place in the teachers training
schools of Ireland, great deal of money
is being contributed for the work and there
are now almost 100000 people who can
speak the Irish tongue with facility. The
Gaelic Society has brought about much OF
this by collecting a library, maintaining
free classes for instruction in Irish history,
art music and letters and in Irish-Ameri-
can history.
Mr. Crimmins spoke of Irish literature
and quoted extensively from President
Roosevelts recent magazine article on the
Irish sagas. The speaker praised the eff
forts of Lady Gregory, Standish O'Grady,
w. B. Yeats, Spofford Brooks. DR.. Hyde
and others for the work they have done
toward bringing bout the results desired by
the society and said that many of the most
valuable Irish manuscripts are to be found
In Germany.

TRIES HAND AT SHELL GAME.
Gordon Williams Loses Two Bets, Will.
liam Giddings Under Bond.

1t don't cost anything to try it," shouted
William Giddings. colored. the crowd
passed him on its way to the gate at the
Benning race track few days ago. Come
and try it; you don't have to pay any
thing
Among those that heard the remarks was
Gordon Williams. who was on his first trip
to the races. He looked in the direction
of Giddings and saw him holding a small
board with a green cloth over it, On the
Goth were three shells and a small pea
Williams decided to see all there was to
see, and he went over to the man with the
green cloth. Glddings showed how the pea
was placed under one of the shells and
how easy it was for Williams to pick out
the one under which the shell rested.
Williams tried the game several times
for fun, and found the pea every time
Giddings then explained that it was gam
bling game, but advised Williams not to
play it.
Its cinch and a shame to take the
money remarked a fellow standing near
Williams. Why don't you try it and
make some money!
Williams tried finding the pea again and
was successful. Then he decided to put
up s. as wager that he could tell where
it was. Giddings carefully put the pea
under the middle shell. Williams saw it
distinctly, because the pea caught under
the side of the shell at first. He bet on
the middle shell. Then Gddings lifted it
up. Williams looked for the pea, rubbed
his eyes and looked again. 1t wasn't there
He tried it again, betting a diamond ring
valued at ST with the same result
This was the story told by Gordon Will
lams to Judge Mulowny in the Police
Court this morning, before whom Giddings
was arraigned a charge of running a
shell game" His honor was shown the
shells and peas which were found in Gid
dings possession when he was arrested by
M he fret
At the conclusion of the case his honor
held Giddings for the action of the grand
jury, and fixed the bond at $500. Attorney
Peyton appears for Giddings.

The trial of former Representative Bin
ger Hermann. charged with destroying
thirty-five letter-press copy books of the
records of the general land Office. entered
upon it's ninth week. before Justice Stafford,
in Criminal Court No. l, today. According
TO the statements to the court by United
States Attorney Baker and Attorney
Worthington during the closing hours of
the proceedings last week, the presenta-
ton of evidence and arguments will be
concluded this week, and the case sub
mltted to the jury. Mr.. Hermann was
again on the witness stand in his own de-
tense during most of the session this
morning, and in the main his statements
were denials of assertions made in the
testimony of many government witnesses.
When court convened Mrs Ella NJ.
Riley of New York city, formerly secre-
tary to Nathaniel Mckay, deceased, pro-
prletor OF the Dewey Hotel during most
or the period of the late Senator Mitch
ellis residence there. was called as a wit
ness and questioned regarding Mr.. Nc
Rays state of health during the spring
OF l?o2 1t was during that time the
government has sought to show by cir
cumstantial evidence. Mr. Mckay went
away from the Dewey Hotel and secured
change for one or both of the 81. 900 bills
with which $. A. ID. Puter claimed to
hiNO al ibou senator M1tcnell MIS-. Riley
stated Mr.. Mckay's health was very poor
during the few months preceding his
death, in July, 1902.
Relations With Senator Mitchell.
Mr. Hermann declared this morning he
never had business relations with Senator
Mitchell J. n. Williamson formerly
representative from the second Oregon dis
trict, and that his social relations with
either of them or their families were never
particularly intimate. Attorney Worthing-
ton asked the defendant about his early
connection with the public lands service.
receiver Of the Roseburg land office in
1871 on recommendation to President Grant
by the then Senator II. w Corbe;t. Two
years later, he said, having earnestly es-
pcused the reelection of Senator Corbett,
he was removed from office upon the ac-
cession of Senator Mitchell He declared
he was not removed for cause and no
charges Were made against him.
Carrying Mr.. Hermann categorically over
the testimony previously given by former
Surveyor General Henry Meldrum S. A. D.
Puter and others, Mr.. Worthington drew a
series of emphatic contradictions to asser-
tons sworn to by them. In particular the
defendant denied having met Meldrum and
F. p. Mays alone in Meldrum's oi.,ce in
Portland in September. 1901, and there
discussed the proposed Blue Mountain re-
serve and looked over maps of the section
He stated his call at Meidrum's Office was
purely social, and that no matters relating
to the business of the land Office were dis
cusssd with any one at that time
