above the wrist. A passerby heard
his groans and ran to his assistance.

Minneapolis Polish Catholics, with
all others Of that nationality in Amer.
lea. are rejoicing in an ecclesiastical
event which took place Wednesday in
Chicago. the conservation Of the first,
Polish bishop in America. The crea-
ton of this bishop is something the
Polish Catholics have longed for, have
worked for, prayed for and now it has
come about and they are happy. The
new bishop is Rev. Father Paul Rhode,
American born, but a pure Pole. At
present he is in charge of a parish in
South Chicago, and for time. at least,
will be continued in that work Later
he may be assigned to more general
supervision Of Polish churches. Bish-
op Rhode was educated at st. lgnatius
college. Chicago, and finished at st.
Francis seminary, Wisconsin. In both
schools he was a fellow student with
George T. Kozlowski. official court in
terpreter Of Hennepin county. and
both were assistants to Rev. Father
John Radziepewski, for many years
pastor Of ST. Alberts church, Seven
teenth avenue and Paulina street,
Chicago. Bishop Rhode is now only
80 years old.
Children are staying in school long
er than heretofore. according to the
report Of DR.. c. M. Jordan, superin-
tendent of schools. submitted to the
board of education Tuesday after
noon. DR.. Jordan says: There would
seem to be no truth in the statement
that children after passing the primary
grades are leaving school much more
rapidly than they did several years
ago. The number Of pupils enrolled
in the public schools for the school
year ending in June, was 45.335, an
increase of $50 over the previous wear,
and an increase of $3.50 over 1905. On
account of continued sickness 1907
pupils left school, 1913 left for work
and IS died. The number of pupils in
the high schools was 4,76s, Of whom
2,oe2 We're boys. The number of high
school graduates was 6ss, and in all
es5 pupils permanently left the high
schools during the year. OF this num-
Der PIP left to go to work, and 1879 on
account Of illness. The appointment
OF a special teacher for each high
school building to assist pupils falling
behind in their studies goes into ef-
feet next year and Dr. Jordan calls at
tention to it particularly. This meas
ure will probably prevent from 10 to
20 pupils being turned away from the
high schools during the first two
months because they cannot keep up
with the work, owing to the new con-
ditions.

Joseph O'Mara, Who is to Be Starred
This Fall in Peggy Machree.'

This Fall in Peggy Machree."
In view of the fact that Joseph
o'Mara is to be starred this fall by
Joseph Brooks and A. w. Dingwall in
Peggy Machree," it might be inter-
esting to know something about this
clever man who halls from Limerick.
Mr.. O'Mara was educated in the Jes-
uit College and when a boy sang in
Limerick Cathedral. He is the young
est son of James ONlara. j. P. known
as the grand old man of the Irish Ma
tional Movement and many important
political questions We're discussed in
his Limerick home by Butt and Par
nell and other leading Irishn1en. His
brother Stephen OMara, is one of the
treasurers of the Irish Parliamentary
Fund. The O'Maras are one of the
oldest and most practical Catholic
families In Ireland.
Joseph O'Mara's voice developed in
to such rare tenor that 1t was deem
ed advisable to send him to Italy to
study. After two years work he went
to London. where he sang the princi-
pal tenor role in Sulivan's opera
1vanhoe. His success was Immediate
AT the termination of this engagement
the late Sir Augustus Harris seized
him for Italian opera at Covent Gar
an o,,I =
with him until the death of the re-
nowned impresario. During this time
he appeared in Lohengrin. Carmen,
Faust. Cavalleria and Pagliacci. and
gained immensely in voice and style

land at the end OF his American en-
gagep'ent and has been since the prin-
cipal tenor in the Moody Manners Eng
fish Grand Opera Company
Notwithstanding Mr., OMara's great
love for opera. he was not allowed to
forsake the concert platform, where
he was equally successful. He has
sung all the we'll known orat1rios in

BOB TAYLOR IN
 LYCEUM COURSE
Famous Lecturer Delivers Bubbles in the Air" to Appreoiative Audi
 ence at High School.

Bubbles in the Air" was the subject of the lecture delivered by Senator Bob" Taylor to a large and attentive audience in the High school auditorium last night The address of the famous lecturer con- cluded the series of the Lyceum features presented at the High school this season, which has proved not only a success from the attendance upon each of the enter tainments, but has also won marked ap- probation for the excellence of the various attractions.
 Senator, or rather Governor Bob,' as he is more generally known, was in fine fettle, and his comparison of air castles, Bubbles in the Air'' to everyday life, was made in a happy vein. Jokes and quips abounded, but with all the light heartedness there was an undercurrent of seriousness bound with that sympathy which Governor Bob" twines around his eloquent words.
 The happiness in life and how to pro- duce it was explained and brought around by the speaker to comparison with Bubbles in the Air Make life so full of happiness that it will bubble over, was the moral of his lecture, and there was no doubt as to ones wanting to do so after hearing it.

URGES CITIZENS
 TO USE BUNTING
Chairman Parker Hopes To See Every Citizen Take Interest in Honor
 ing Veterans.

"The Confederate Veterans reunion to be held in Birmingham June g. 10, Il will be one of the most memorable events in the history of Birmingham" said John L. Parker, chairman of the decorating committee, yesterday.
 All patriotic, loyal citizens will take pride in lending assistance to the end that this event will be in keeping with the importance of the occasion.
 Nothing will add so much to the ap- pearance of the city; nothing will con tribute more to the pleasure of the guests; nothing will create a more favorable inn pression then a well decorated city. Every store in Birmingham should be decorated as mark of respect and tri- bute to our distinguished guests, nor should the decorations stop here, the homes should be decorated.
 "We desire to caution our citizens against the use of any Confederate battle flag that Is not square. Oblong battle flags are historically incorrect.
 Let us hope that waving battle flags, bunting and decorations of all kinds will be abundantly in evidence, beautifying the city and cheering the hearts of the noble veterans. whom it is a delight to honor and a pleasure to entertain"

DOG POISONERS
 STILL AT WORK
VALUABLE ANIMALS ARE MADE VICTIMS OF POISONED MEAT SCATTERED PRoMIscUousLY. NEW ORDER ISSUED.

The matter of poisoning dogs throughout the city has grown from bad to worse. For the past month or more there appears to have been a regular practice in certain parts of the city of poisoning dogs, tramp dogs, house dogs, watch dogs, all dogs alike. Within the last few days several very fine bogs have been the victims Of poisoning, and complaint of the mat ter has become general.
 The police department has been called upon repeatedly to try to stop the practice, but naturally was unable to stop it. Matters have reached the stage where the police department is suspected. The following letter ad- dressed by Chief Bodeker to the de- partment yesterday is self explanatory: Police Department, City:
 Gentlemen-It is reported to me by different people that they think the police department is dropping poisoned meat around the streets and killing dogs, and there have been several val uable dogs killed.
 This Is a very cruel way to kill dogs and is violation of the state law.
 If 1t is being done it must be stopped at once. Yours respectfully,
 GEORGE H. BODEKER,
 Chief of Police.
 If 1t is possible for the police de- partment to stop the practice of poison ing dogs" said Chief Bodeker last night. Fit will certainly be done The cruelty of killing dogs by poison should not be tolerated, and if these poisoners can be caught they will be justly punished"
