ROBERT KEENAN,
BACK KFROM EUROPE
Attended Convention of the
Knights Of Malta and Had
Enjoyable Trip

Robert keenan,, of this city. who
represented the Conclave Of America
Of the Knights OF Malta at the con-
vention held at Glasgow. Scotland. on
June 1S, returned TO this city last
Monday night after he had enjoyed a
tour Of England, Ireland, Scotland
France, Switzerland and Canada. that
had begun on May 13 on the steamer
Baltic. Of the White Star Line from
New York.
Mr.. keenan, was the only delegate
to the convention from this country.
He did not go to Glasgow directly, but
went from Liverpool to Belfast, Ire
land, where he attended the Supreme
Encampment of Ireland OF the Knights
Of Malta and stayed for two weeks.
Throughout hie trip Mr.. Keenan, was
accompanied by his daughter. Miss
Ellen keenan,, who thoroughly enjoyed
the tour as being her first venture
into foreign lands. In Ireland and in
all the other countries that he visited.
Mr.. keenan, found great sentiment
for the United States. In Ireland he
found that the industrial depression in
this country had affected the linen
trade there. and as a result the trade
was very inactive. Conditions In Ire
land he found were greatly improved
since a trip he had made about five
years before, and this he attributes TO
the gradual disappearance Of the land
lord system.
The couple spent two weeks at
Glasgow and there, too, Mr.. Keenan,
found trade to be very dull As the
only delegate at the convention from
this country, Mr.. Keenan, was roya'ly
entertained during his visit. Mr.. and
Miss keenan, after the convention went
to London, thence to Paris, where they
spent a week, and then to Lake Lu-
zerne. Switzerland, where they stayed
for about ten days, making frequent
excursions into the Alps and to near
by resorts. where they found many
English and American visitors.
The same route was observed on the
return trip. and the couple left Liver
pool on August 13 on the steamer kssn-
sington of the Dominion Line, docking
at Montreal, Canada. After a pleas
ure trip around the st. Lawrence,
passage was taken down the Hudson
to New York. whence Mr.. and Mrs.
Keenan, proceeded home. .
Mr.. keenan, returned with very in
teresting Impressions Of the trip. On
the whole he found nothing to lessen
his regard for his own country. Busi-
ness abroad he found was taken far
less seriously than in this country,
pleasure and comfort being sought
more earnestly. He found the general
health Of the British people to be far
superior to that of Americans, which
he attributed TO the more equable cli-
mate they enjoy. The superiority of
the British police system impressed
him. as we'll as the greater attention
paid to the beautihcation of cities
abroad. There was only one discom-
fort during the entire trip-the Brit
ish demand for tips.

in which love and adventure is inter-
woven. The company comprises some
especially talented players.
The dance - Salome Dance of the
Seven Veils) one of the oldest and most
graceful known, is being reproduced
at the PickwicS Theatre. This is the
dance over which New York, Paris and
other large cities are going wild, and
which is being made famous by such
stars. as Eva Tanguy. Maud Allen.
Gertrude Hoffman and La Sylphe 1t is
here reproduced exactly as danced by
Salome before King Herod, who, to
show his appreciation Of Salome's act,
offered to grant her any wish, and
was reluctantly compelled to have the
head Of the prophet John the Baptist
brought to her on a plate.

STARTLING STORY
OF A HoLD-UP

Various reports concerning an alleged
hold-up and robbery and brutal beat
ing of a man at the corner Of Ninth
and Lombard streets. we're on investi-
cation to-day. found to b. exaggerated.
A man was found there between 10 and
/ o'clock this morning by officers
Snyder and Schell and sent TO the
patrol station. To-day this individual
was fined 81 and costs IA The City Court
for drunkenness. He gave the name Of
John Hopkins, and is colored.
The man had been with four or five
,olored men and women who left him
lying in the street.
There was plenty Of blood around
where the man had laid and a pen
knife was also found near him. This
led to the story that he had been stab.
he'd. but no such wounds were found
on him at the police station. His
head had been bleeding freely, how
ever, where he had fallen and cut the
scalp.
