PAGEANT IS TRULY IRISH Tunes of Erin's Isle Enliven Line of March Rose Festival Crowds Ri valled by Throng Which. Saw Ireland's Sons Go By. RALLYING CRY OF OLD ERIN. The Ltnium of old Erin. of her history and her name. Of her monarchy and her heroes. of her glory and her fame! The sacred shrine where rested, through sunshine and through gloom. The spirit of her, martyrs as their bodies In the tomb! Oh. Irishmen. b Irish! and rally for the tongue Which, like ivy to a ruin, to the dear old land has clung Oh. snatch tills relic from tho wreck the only and the last .The sole strong link that binds you to the glories of the past. Rev. Michael Mullln. A whirling sea of Irish faces, glimpses of the "ould eod," alone and in its Ameri can associations, stirring life pictures of the youngest and most beautiful Irish America has to offer these were some of the things the great parade of the An cient Order of Hibernians brought forth Thursday night. It was typically Hibernian. The sing ing of the pathetic Irish airs with which the whole world is acquainted, the play ing by the bands of rollicking Irish music made the ever temperamental crowd feel all the shades of emotion. Just like that on a night in the Rose Festival was the crowd. Every cross street was Jammed with automobiles, the streets lined with an eager, pressing throng, only kept in restraint by the presence of a large force of police. Irish yells were heard frequently. But then, everything was Irish. More than 20UO delegates took part. None would question the sincerity of these people. Led by their National officers, they made a brave and inspirit ing sight. It was impossible not to sympathize with the old Irish woman who stood at Sixth and Morrison Btreets and called her commendation to her boy, mounted as an assistant to the marshal, in the broadest of Irish. As tears rolled down her face, she told her son he was a credit to the home country. Headed by Chief Cox and a platoon of police under Captain Baty. immediately followed by the police band, the parade got under way shortly after 8 o'clock. Sweeping down Morrison street under the guidance of Grand Marshal Mann, the first division, consisting of promi nent Hibernian officers and their guests. jn automobiles, moved easily along. In the first machine was Acting Gov ernor Bowerman. Archbishop Christie. General Summers. Judge Gantenbein and Vice-president Regan. It was followed by others containing Postmaster Merrick, Colonel David M. Dunne and P. S. Mal colm. Then came the Oregon chaplains of the order, followed by prominent clerics as sociated with the Hiberniansi Rev. Michael Byrne, Rev. John Power, of Illi nois. Father Eltzpatrick and Father Gal lagher. The Pennsylvania and Ohio members, followed by a delegation from Tho Dalles, were in decorated machines. Then came one of the striking fea tures of the procession. Robed in white, with a green band bearing tho word Tacoma stretched across the bosoms of their gowns, 21 young wo men from the City of Destiny flashed by In double file. , The first float represented the Na tional v ensign. It was-drawn by four horses and surrounded by torch bear ers, and the flag was borne on a shield. Ahead as guards stood two soldiers of colonial times. In the rear two soldiers of today. They were rigid as statues and looked as if carved from stone. One hundred and sixty delegates In line followed. Then came the shamrock float, representing "A'l Ireland." Ahead was a map of Ire land, shown by counties. Rowing from It was a boat, with a typical Irish man standing upright. Just across tho rra. stood Uncle Sam greeting the new-' comer with outstretched hand. A score of pretty Portland children dressed In white made up the back ground with shamrocks everywhere. Two score of Portland members of the order dressed in white and green, led the next division. They were fol lowed by 200 more delegates in line, uniformed officers, and a float, "The Castle and Harp of Ireland." The Cir cuit Judges drove by in the ladies' sec tion. Sixty automobiles, at least one for each state in the Vnlon, others from Canada and the Hawaiian Islands, ran by filled with women members of the auxiliary to the order. Then came the final float. "Admiral Jack Barry in the Frigate Lextngton." The beautiful white ship, her sails unfurled and spread to the breeze, seemed like a bird. The following delegates headed the parade in an automobile: State Senator Hare, of San Francisco; T. P. O. Dowd. Supervisor. San Fran cisco; John Donohoe, State Treasurer Ka Fire Conimisslwiicn n Francisco; Cornelius Herlehy, secretary Hiberni ans. San Francisco. COMPANION KAILS IN FRANTIC ATTEMPT AT RESCUE. Swell Jiggles Skiff and Government Employe Topples in River. Fail . Ing to Come Up Again. Ray J. Streichen, ij years of age, a Government employe, was accidentally drowned at the Government moorings, six miles down the river, at I o'clock Thursday afternoon. His body was re- - covered by members of the crew of the United States tug Arago and was brought to the morgue. Streichen met his death In a peculiar manner. With the assistance of Joseph McKee, another employe at the moor ings, he was unloading a collection of - blocks, tackling and rope, from a skiff lying beside the tug Aragb. The steam- H IB RNUN PAHAD er Breakwater passed in mldchannel at the time and caused a series of heavy swells to toss the skiff against the tug. While attempting to push the skiff away from the hold of the tug'. Streichen lost his balance- and plunged headforemost into the water. He never rose to the surface. Without hesitating. McKee made a heroic attempt to save his companion. Rushing to the end of the skiff from which Stelchen fell. McKee dived over board near the spot where be saw the youth sink. The current had. ii the interim, carried Stelchen several yards downstream, in 60 teet of water. Mc Kee, after considerable difficulty, lo cated the drowning boy and Becured a grip on the hair of his head. In his death struggle unCer water, Streichen slipped from jrfcKee's grasp as the lat ter rose to the surface. Exhausted and nearly overcome by his strenuous ef forts, McKee was hauled aboard the tug. After an hour's effort, the body was brought to the surface through the agency of grappling hooks. Streichen resided with his widowed mother at 519 Sou'" Jersey street, St. Johns. He had been in the Government employ since the first cf the month. AUSTRALIA FEARS JAP BELIEF THAT ORIENTAL HAS DESIGNS ON TERRITORY. Inside Knowledge Required to Ex plain Why 335,116,800 Acres Are Now Unpopulated. SYDNEY, Australia, July , 22. (Spe cial.) Australian statesmen are get ting busy with the problem of the Northern Territory of Australia. This, one of the principal empty tracts still left in the world, soon passes from the control of the State of South Australia to the Commonwealth Government. Empty and undefended, the region is a source of anxiety to British Imper ialists. Plenty of Australians are con vinced the Japanese have their eye on it Particular inside knowledge is re quired to explain why this fine area of 335,116.800 acres is unpopulated. All the natural advantages of soil, climate and rainfall which have benefitted other parts of Australia are shared by the Northern Territory. But political conditions have paralyzed its develop ment. Nobody wanted the Northern Terri tory when the continent of Australia split up into states, and this seemed to Justify the early Dutch description of it as "a land full of devils." Queens land refused the offer of this area and so did New South Waler Finally, South Australia took up the burden and accepted the territory under lease from the British Home Government. Although South Australia is contigu ous to the Northern Territory, natural conditions so interfere with inter-communication that South Australia is actually the most remote of all the states from the territory. Between the emptiness of the Northern Territory and prosperous South Australia stretches the great Australian desert, the dryest and most sterile section of the continent. Cattle cannot be "over landed" by that route. Only by bridging the gap by a rail way could South Australia and its de pendency be brought into close rela tions. Boldly South Australia attacked the task. From north to south a tele graph line was run, connecting Port Darwin with Adelaide. This line Is used today for the transmission of cables between England and Australia via the Eastern route. The construc tion of a transcontinental railway was then begun from the two terminal points. The line from Adelaide, helped by local settlement, got to Oodnadatta, a distance of 688 miles. From Port Darwin it went 15 miles south to Pine Creek and then stopped. The proposi tion was too big for the state, which found the administration of the area so costly and the revenue so small Biat there was always a deficit in the ter ritory's budget. Working expenses were not .even paid by the uncompleted railway system. But thorough and systematic develop ment of the territory will be possible when the Commonwealth Government takes control. The prospects of this tract of No Man's Land are great, for the territory forms a large, new coun try which can be thrown open for set tlement. The resources and possibilities of the Northern Territory of Australia are spoken of in enthusiastic terms by such an authority as D. M. Sayers, of Ade laide. In speaking of its mineral wealth, he is particularly emphatic about 'the proved existence of gold, silver, copper, tin, wolfram, mica and precious stones. In pastoral value it is one of the finest in the world for horse and cattle breeding. Owing to the proximity to the Asiatic market via Port Darwin the country is particu larly well suited for supplying Oriental demands. POPE MAKES KINGLY GIFT Jeweled Crowns Stolen From Noted Picture in Poland Replaced. ROME, July 22. (Special.) Two crowns of gold given by the Pope to adorn the picture of the Blessed Vir gin and the Infant Christ in the Church of Czestochowo. in Russian Poland, not very far from Cracow, have brought joy to the hearts of manv Catholics in that land. Last year the crowns that adorned the heads of the figures in this picture were stolen. The two pictures are of excellent Roman workmanship, and are adorned In "Barocco" style and are in hammered relief. The larger Is intended for the head of the Madonna, the smaller for that of the child. They weigh 1500 grammes, and are set with precious jewels, among which are five large opal, a great oval brilliant, 44 large brilliants, 180 medium-sized brilliants, 190 small ones. Very beautiful, like wise are the nine rubies, the six sap phires, the six amethysts, the two em eralds, and the two topazes. Four rows of pearls, artistically arranged give a very beautiful effect to the whole work. The gift is kingly from its excellent artistic style and for its intrinsic material value. The picture which these crowns adorn has a long and interesting his tory. It is one of those Oriental pic tures attributed to St. Luke. as to which, however, connoisseurs differ re garding the artist, they agree on the great antiquity of such works. It is painted on cypress wood, which is said to have served as a table for the Blessed Virgin. It Is aid to have been traced back to the third century, and it was sent by the Empress St. Helen to Constantinople, whence it was carried o!t to Poland and placed in the castle of Belz. It passed from hand to hand in the middle ages, now form ing the prize of conquest, now con signed to the peaceful repose of a monastic church, and again made the object of great veneration. In which the Kings of Poland took equrl pert with their subjects in paying homage to this ancient picture. Soreness of the muscles, whether in duced by violent exercise or injury. Is quickiv relieved by the free applica tion of Chamberlain's Liniment. This liniment Is equally valuable for mus cular rheumatism, and always affords quick reliei. bold by all dealers. MRS.

Truth to tell. now that it 1b over, one hesitates to praise the perfection of the acting, be cause of the etrong impression of reality the production gave. Opinions differ and will continue to differ as to the thoroughness of Mrs, Fiske's other delineations. While "Teas" was in parts one of the most Impressive impersonations on the American stage, still one may safely say Mrs. Fiske was at no time Hardy's Tess. unless in the hour ' of her tragedy. She was never Mary Magdalen and only partly Salvation Nell. But she is is Thackeray's "Becky, and no actress on the American stage today could come as near to the great original. Mrs. Fiske Is Genius Itself. Like Becky. Mrs". Fiske is not beau tiful physically, but she has what is a more valuable and patent asset, an imag inative fire and fine glow, that subtle. illusive quality which can be no other thing but genius. This quality of hers is unique and wholly individual. Mrs. Fiske has made Becky sharp a notable production, not only because of the graphic picturing of the central character, nor because she makes an etching of historical fidelity, but most of all. perhaps, because she makes of hard. cold, bright, self-reliant and relent lessly scheming Becky a vital and real character, one that is full of life and movement, sparkling with wit and satire and in every detail of absorbing interest to the spectator. Mrs. Fiske does thfls through sheer fineness of imagination a positive genius for understanding the soul of a character, a blessed spontaneity of style and a perfect technique. It is -a wonderful etching she gives," and of all the roles in her gallery of her creations Becky is the finest. rarest, most subtle and complete, the most intellectually satisfying of any. Mrs. Fiske iB wholly and certainly Becky. The two are Interchangeable. Thackeray's Becky Seen. Mrs. Fiske is Becky of the always re sourceful mind, and steadj', valiant heart, Becky the scheming and shrewd, Becky devoid of principle. Becky the daring, who meets every thrust with a smil every thrust save one that leaves her crouching alone In her little tumbled castle of cards and saying, honestly, "I'm done for; I'm done for now." Mrs. Flske is Thackeray's Becky, handicapped by neither sentiment nor sentimentality. Of the rest of the company, the Raw, don Crawley of Wilfred Buckland was the best He is Thackeray's Rawdon, the brave, loving scamp to the life. His tender subjugation under Becky's tyranny, his hearty, bluff laughter at her badinage, the bits of clean sentiment, however shammed, were all delineated with the true skill and spirit of only a real actor. Holbrook Blmn makes the audience for get itself with his wonderful characteriza tion of the Marquis of Steyne. Icy elegant, depraved to the Innermost and fascinating withal, Bllnn makes of Steyne all he made of Jim In "Salvation Nell." Harold Russell as Joseph Sedley is deli cious in' his comedy, and Robert Ferguson deserves a line for his puritanical por trait of Sir Pitt Crawley. Florlne Arnold as" Miss Crawley, Alice John as weak-kneed Amelia, and lovely Merle Maddern as Lady Jane Crawley are each deserving of much more notice than can be given here, for excellent work. Mrs. Fiske's ; Becky Sharp will live in the annals of the stage as a portrayal of wonderful mastery and exquisitely delicate skill. Tonight the same produc tion will be given, with Mrs. Fiske's other play, "Pillars of Society, tomorrow afternoon and evening. PRAYER IS HELD LIBEL Parishioner Asks $5000 Damages of Illinois Preacher. SPRIN'OFIELD. 111., July 22. Rev. R. B. Fisher, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Neoga, 111., was made de fendant today in a $5000 libel suit, fol lowing his refusal to tell the Lord that he had wronged Jacob Strohl, a promi nent and wealthy farmer of that com munity. "O Lord, make Brother Strohl a bet ter man: cause him to pay his. debts and have him cease backbiting." fervently supplicated the minister in a prayer which startled his congregation and start ed Strohl upon a line of action culminat ing in the suit for libel. Other "faults" of the parishioner were recited in the minister's prayer and divine interference was asked for to rectify them. "Now. you'd better make another pray er and straighten things up with the Lord." declared Strohl when the pastor concluded his prayer. But Dr. Fisher refused. "I can give the Lord no further light upon the character of Strohl," he is credited with saying. The "spat" between the minister and Strohl is looked upon as the outcome of trouble that has existed ever since the consolidation of the Presbyterian and Cumberland Presbyterian denominations. Several years ago the Cumberland Pres byterians, of which Strohl was a mem ber, built a church near Neoga. and this property later was" taken by the Presbyterians, the Cumberlands being re fused the use of the building. Bitter feeling followed: until recently when Strohl asked Dr. Fisher to preach the funeral services of one of the Cum berlands. We will take part In the services and then talk things over with the Lord," sug gested Strohl. The minister agreed and the service was held. Strohl opened it with a prayer for unity between the churches. He was particularly fervent in asking for more grace for the pas tor. Fishe followed with the prayer that has brought about Strohl's suit for dam ages for slander. BRYAN IS ADVISER ONLY GRAFS MANAGER PUTS PEER LESS ONE IX REAR. Duty of Party Is to "Lick; Him" When He Goes Too . Far, Says Josiah Marvel. DENVER, July 22.-Josiah Marvel, of Wilmington, Del., member of the finance committee of the last Democratic Na tional committee, who was in charge of the campaign of Judge George Gray, of Delaware, for the nomination for the Presidency, tonight gave out an inter view in which he says that it is now time for all Democrats to get together and advise on the grounds upon which all can stand in National policies. Touching on the influence W. J. Bryan will have, Mr. Marvel said: "Mr. Bryan will, of course, have great weight in the councils of his party. But his wishes should be considered as wishes and not as commands. There is no divine right of domination in the Democratic party. To the extent that his principles and candidates appeal to the majority of our party he should be fully sus tained and approved, but when he goes beyond this the duty of the party to itself is to proceed promptly to lick him. Mr. Bryan is not infallible and his hon esty and earnestness make his mistakes the more dangerous. The leaders of our party who disagree with Mr. Bryan should, argue with him and not abuse him." Mr. Marvel said that Judge Gray would not be a candidate again. Mr. Marvel said that he believed the next National convention would be held in Denver. He based the statement on sentiment expressed by National commi teemen from the states east of Chicago. BIGGER BIRMINGHAM, PLAN If Bill Becomes Law, City Will Be second Largest in British Empire, LONDON, July 22. Special.) Great in terest attaches to the provisional order bill, enlarging the boundaries of the City of Birmingham so as to include under a single administration the great urban area whose economic life centers in the city. If the proposals of that bill be come law, the City of Birmingham, will Include a population of 880.000, an area of 40,000 acres, and a rateable value of over J21.000.000. The size and wealth of the city will correspond to the great reputation it al ready enpoys. and Birmingham will be come in fact as well as in name the sec ond city of the empire. The attain ment of that distinction is, however, in no way the motive of the great scheme now put forward; it is only an incidental result. The reasons which induced the Birmingham Council to demand with ab solute unanimity the extension of the citv boundaries are drawn from practi cal experience of the advantages to "be obtained by a unified administration of an area that is Industrially and commer cially coherent. The original boundaries of the city, though slightly extended in 1S91. no longer bear ay relation to the actual extent of the -area that is naturally, though incor rectly, termed Birmingham. On every side the suburban districts have grown with a rapidity that is amazing. Since the last extension of the boundaries the populations of King's Norton, of Tardley and of Erdlngton have more than trebled, while that of Handsworth has doubled. This growth is due In very large measure to the overflow from Birmingham. It is expected that several of her large cities in England will follow Birmingham s ex ample If the bill goes through. STRONGER DRINK IS USED Drunkenness in Italy Is Reported to Be on Increase. ROME. July 22. (Special.) Until re cently Italy was one of the countries freest from drunkenness; for drink is largely a question of temperature. Latterly, however, workmen returning from abroad have Introduced the prac tice of drinking spirits, and a speech in the Senate has drawn the attention of Signor Luzzatti, the Premier, who is an ardent social reformer, to this question. The Prime Minister has, therefore, directed a ' stringent circular to the Prefects, requesting to be furnished with statistics as the basis of legisla tion against drunkenness. He wishes to know the number of lunatics, whose malady has been due to alcoholism, dur ing each of the last 20 years; the num ber of liquor shops, irrespective of ho tels, pensions, and restaurants, exist ing in each district at the end of last year, and at the end of each of the previous 20 years, with their hours of closing, the quantity of alcohol con sumed per head of the population, and the number of distilleries, with the total of the men employed in them. This Is the first time that such an inquiry has been considered necessary; it will. In any case, throw much light on the habits of the people of Italy. GIRL MARRIES RESCUER Romance Begins When Lake Steamer Is Destroyed. ITHACA. July .. A romance dating back to the time the il-fated lake steamer Frontenac of the Brown Trans portation Company was burned on Cayuga Lake three years ago this com ing Summer, led to the marriage in New York City on June 20 of Harrison Den nison to Miss Muriel" Josephine Brown, whose life he saved when the Frontenac was burned. Announcements of the marriage were received here today by friends of Mrs. E. Langdon Harrison, the mother of the bride. Mr. Dennlson and Miss Brown were passengers aboard the Frontenac leav ing Sheldrake.. Off Farey's Point the steamer caught fire, and although sh was hurriedly beached eight lives were lost.

LONDON. July 22. (Special.) Gradually British sociologists have come to the con clusion that the ranks of the ever-growing unemployed are mainly swelled by those who have been messenger boys. To do away with these conditions is now the aim of an important society, with the support of government departments and the Association of Education authorities. To begin with, the Postmaster-General has commenced to use girls as messen gers and to provide facilities for the 16,000 boys employed whereby they can prepare for better employment, when they be come too old to deliver telegrams at $2 a week. For that Is when the crisis comes in the lives of scores of thousands of Britishers. They start in at 14 years old. with an indifferent education, as messenger boys in private or public offices, at weekly wages of SSt or $3. When they reach 16 or thereabouts they are not wanted, so they are turned out without any trade or fitness for better paid billets. Some with grit and hustle in them scramble upward in spite of the difficulties of an old and overcrowded country. The vast majority drift into un skilled labor and. periodically, into the army of the unemployed. If the latter drift happens- often they become unem ployable and the state is burdened with them for life. Fully 50.000 lads have to face the crisis every year. In many European countries they have recognized all this. Germany enforces night study in technical schools so that lads go to various trades with a knowl- Have your ticket read "Burlington" Chicago on Time The Burlington from St. Paul to Chicago, follows the level banks of the beautiful Mississippi for 300 miles.

But England, up to now, has driven her lads into the blind alleys of the messen ger service. Recently, labor exchanges were started in British centers for the registratibn and regulation of labor and employment, and now it is suggested that committees should be appointed in connection with them to advise and safeguard boys on leaving the day schools. ' In the midlands various public bodies have gone a step further. They have ap pointed a salaried official to visit the homes of all boys and girls aged 14 when the law allows them to leave pub lic elementary schools and attract them into technical- schools where they may study science subjects free of cost till they are 18. Boys are taught trades-and the girls cooking and laundry work. Al ready these methods have shown re markable success. But these are only local examples and the national question is not yet dealt with. Robert Applegarth, an old trade unionist, has started a national organi zation to work up an agitation for legis lation prohibiting this ruin of youthful opportunities. But he Is finding the sit uation a hard one. Politicians are loth to meet the objections of the mass of poor parents who regard their children as bread winners from the moment they can legally withhold them from school. For the struggle for existence in England is not far removed from tiger pit condi tions, and the children's future is usually sacrificed for present necessities. Cat Saves Family. YORK, Pa., July 21. Members of the family of Howard Kilgore gave their pet cat a fitting burial because of their belief that by acting as a conductor of lightning their lives were saved. A bolt of lightning hit the Kilgore house. Mrs. Kilgore was stunned, but the others did not suffer. Later someone glanced under the stove and found the cat stretched there dead. A.
