ELOQUENT ORATOR TO HONOR MEMORY
 OF IRISH MARTYR
Hon. John T. Keating Will Address Citizens of Bridgeport at Polls The atre Sunday Evening.

No address promised by any man in public life has been looked forward to with mare interest by many people in this city, than that to be given Sun day evening at Polls theatre by Hon. John T. Heating, fromer president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the United States, upon Robert Emmet under the auspices of the EInmet club.
 MT. Heating is known to be one of the most eloquent men who ever has presided over the great Hibernian or der. He is also known as pro- found student of Irish traditions, lit erature, politics, customs and manners.
 What he has to say upon the life of Emmet will be interesting, not only because he will bring to the subject cause his interpretation will be color country which gave Emmet birth, of the institutions which he favored and those to which he was opposed.
 Only by such a one can the life of Emmet and the growth of his influence be satisfa ctorily explained. A man is not himself alone, but is the product of racial religious and political and climatic environments Who does not understand the environment of a great man. nor know the past of the land that gives him birth, may be ever so able and ever so eloquent, but his story will be a manikin beside the story of the man who is steeped in such learnings. Such a one is Hon. John T. Heating in what refers to Ireland, her sons and her martyrs.

DEATH OF LOCAL
 WRITER OF SONG
Success Was About to Crown Efforts of Fenton (. Quinn Whose Work Had
 Been Accepted.

Just as the wreath of success as a composer and writer of lyrics and bur lesque, was to crown his achievements. a number of his songs being in the hands of the printers. in New York. the life of F'enton c. Quinn. of 131 Walnut street. was snffed out. The sad news was communicated to his friends in this city, yesterday. MT. Quinn was a skilled machinist in the employ of the Locomobiie Co. He came into public attention when M composed the music and lyrics for the A. B. C., the Eagles and Sacred Heart Minstrels. He has written a number of songs and sketches for local anna teurs, of which it was not known that he was the originator.
 MT. Quinn's health became effected several weeks ago. After a general break down. on the advice of physi- clans, he immediately started for Mon tana in the hope that the mountain air would be beneficial. He left this city about three weeks ago. When at Denver. Col.,- he was seized with severe hemorrhages. Physicians treating him at Denver advised his return home. On the train coming east it was found necessary to resort at different times to the -administrat ton of oxygen. He was thus enabled to reach the home of his parents ten days ago. Here death ended his sufferings, yesterday morning,

MRS. NOONAN MAY
 RECOVER THOUGH
 BULLET TORE LUNG

It is probable that Mrs. Margaret Noonan, who fired a 32 calfbre bullet into her breast, yesterday, will recov- CT. She is perfectly rational and is apparently suffering little pain. Her temperature is normal and today she is cheerful although she persistently refuses to talk about herself or to give any reason for her attempt at suicide.
 Two years ago Mrs. N6onan was a patient at St. Vincent's hospital. She burst into tears when she recognized the sisters who had attended her dur ing her previous visit to the institu- ton. Today this feeling has passed away and she has talked cheerfully with her attendants. Her physicians look for her ultimate recovery.
 The bullet passed entirely through her body. It penetrated the left lung, four inches above the heart. She has entirely recovered from the shock.

Next Tuesday the Judiciary commit tee will report to the General Assem- b1y in favor of the election of Elbert O. Hull and Robert H. Gould as judge and deputy judge, respectively, of the City court. By a vote of 6 to the committee at dts session yesterday de- cided in favor of the slate of the young mems Republican faction of this city as against Carl Foster and Frank L. Wilder, the candidates of the old men. so-caiIed. All of the members of the committee were on hand.
 The committee consists of Il mem bers. The member present but who did not vote yesterday was Senator Latime1 of the New London district. He had been counted upon as an ad- herent of Foster but he openly pro- nounced himself as favorable to Gould, he having, been claSSInate of the lat ter at Yale.
 Senator Latimer like all of the other members of the committee had been subject to great pressure from many quarters to stand by the Foster pro- gram. Personally he wanted to vote with his colleague on the committee Fred Bartlett. Yet he did not care to go against the wishes of those men wEO have been his especial advo- cates in matters pertaining to his po- litica1 advancement.
 So vixen the time came for the vote to be taken the senator announced that he had not fully made up his mind just how to formally declare his vote and the ballot was taken with the other ten members voting.
 There is some question as to who the four men are who supported the Eos ter-Wilder slate. One report has it that Senator Sear1es, Judge Malone, Representatives Cronin and Higgins, the latter a Democrat supported the Foster proposition Another report has it that Cronin voted for Hull and Gould and that Judge Burnes House leader supported Foster and Wilder. It is known that Judge Burnes was looked upon as a likely accession to the ranks of the Fosterites but whether he fin ally cast his vote against Hull and Gould is a matter of conjecture.
 The all important question that is now being discussed is whether there will appear from the minority of the committee a report favorable to Fos- ter and Wilder. with the idea of fight ing the battle to finish upon the floor of the legislature From the adv1ceS which the Farmer has received there will be no minority report. This in formation is based upon what practi- cally amounts to declaration on the part of mem bers of the committee vot- ing with the minority Still there is no telling of how matters will shape themselves between now and the time the report is sent in.
 John T King, who has been regard ed in a sense as the active leader of the Hull-GoulI forces was in high glee to-day. From the outset he has main tained that the slate he was backing would win out in the committee. The consensus of opinion however, is that Fred Bart1etts personality, ever agree able, went a long ways toward encom- passing the success of the slate with which he has been identified.

While some of the Democratic papers
have the cheek to point the finger of
.scorn at the Republican senators be-
cause they are somewhat divided on
the tariff question, il they would crook
those same fingers back sufficiently, they
would then point to some other fellows
almost equally divided. In fact it is a
notable sign of the changes of time to
see the Republican and Democratic par
ties each straddling the tariff fence.
Those people who are prophesying the
downfall of the Republicans at the next
presidential election because they have
not carried out tariff revision as prom
ised, should also think of a similar and
even more remarkable division in the
Democratic party on this subject.

SHAKERS.

Pembina had an earthquake. Now if
That was in California instead of North
Dakota it would not be mentioned in
the newspapers, because it wonld hardly
se of sufficient interest to make a news
Htem-and perhaps for other reasons
anyway, the California papers don't
mention them unless they are violent
to shake house or two down.
The shake was rather a disappoint-
'ment to most people. 1t came and went
without their knowledge or consent. A
privileged few that had not yet
fallen asleep enjoyed the novelty, but
the rest of us had to be told about it. 1t
was about half past ten on Saturday
evening and only people with troubles
on their minds like Rev. Elton who ha
to preach next morning] and some
others, were willing to take their aft da
vids that we were shaken.
However, hereafter California has no
advantage over North Dakota. We have
just as good 'climate" in the summer
time) and all that we lacked previous to
last Saturday was earthquakes-and
now we expect to have an immediate
and abundant return of certain "prodi-
gals" that have been feeding on climatic
husks and other pig provender along the
Pacific shores, to their fathers house in
North Dakota to eat fat calves and good
wheat bread with butter on it lat twen-
ty-five cents a pound).
We only need have a cyclone or two to
be able to elbow" over Oklahama and
some others of the southern states in
climate but perhaps with our other
advantages we may be able to get along
with billiards. in place thereof for some
time yet.
But to our dear friends in California
we can now say with added emphasis
and meaning when we meet, "Shake,
Brother, shaker
