AN ENCLISH FRIESD OF ERIY. ©. A. Mullon Delivers an Able Ad- dress to Lincoln Irishmen. ULTIMATE RE-UNION PROMISED. The Cause Growing Rapldly Among the Thinking Masses -Putting Up Poor Ice—The Coming State Prohibition Convention, [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| The Lincoln branch of the Irish National league held one of the largest and most interesting mectings in its history yesterday at Fitzgerald's hall. The meeting was addressed by O. A. Mullon, court reporter in this distriet, and an Englishman. To those who are intimately acquainted with M il it is unnecessary to say that the address was both eloquent and scholarly, and in historical facts is worthy a permanent place in the literature of the day on the Irish struggle for local self-government. Mr. Mulion traced the: branches of the great European nations from their com- mon origin and showed the constant tendency toward an ultimate reunion of the Celtic and Gaelic races in a common brotherhood, the advance work of which he pictured in progress to-duy i America and in the British colonies, The suffering, the famine and the evictions that have harrassed Tveland for centur were compared with the sufferings of the common people of England, in the reign of one monarch. ¢ had forced rebellion, and histc covded the fact that 72,000 human be- gs had perished in th. n of that king. 7To the radi of England, which had never lq-d |,u accomplish a form, Mr. Mullon pointed his Irish friends as an ally in the pending con- test that was making of the poorer and honest clusses of England home-rule be- lievers and advocates. My, Mullon ¢! pressed the belief that the end was near at hand for local self-government for Ireland. The tory government, he suid, was secking a half-way ground upon which to stand and Trefand’s an- cient enemies were giving away to the thinking masses. The address was listened to by the very large audience with the closest attention and was the subject of the most favorable comment. PACKING POOTR ICE. Complaint is made that part packing ice taken from Salt Cre . tween the city and West, Li puint where the ice istaken, it is stated, is below the mouth of the city sewe It is stated that some of the butchers in the city are interested in the packing and while the ice may be contemplated for use only in lavge refrigerators it i. doubtful if people want to have food that is wmlvll by ice of this character.

He settled down in the ancient Capi- tal Lahaina, on the island of Maui, seventy miles from Honolulu. After a time he abandoned the Mormon coloni- zation scheme, but the Mormons re- ed, and now with their converts number nearly 2,000, all told. rning of the beauty and fertility of the little island of Lanai, Mr. Gibson formed a co-operative company, with about 100 natives, and leased a tract of 3.000 on the lulmxd for the raising of wheat and producc. The natives worked well for awhile, but finally dropped off and left Mr. on to him- self. With the profits of his first crop he leased other lands, and finally the wholo island, efghteen miles and ten miles wide, under his control. He sub- sequently turned his attention to sheep raising dnd amassed a fortune. Becom- ing weary of this quict life, hemoved to olulu in 1867 and took and active in- terest in public life. _He published a paper called the Hawaiian News. and helped to place King Lunalilo on the throne. In 1869 he visited the United States and assisted in nego- tinting the existing reciprocity treaty. When Lunalilo died, Mr. Gibson urged the claims of Kalukaua, and, after ‘the latter wus clected, he was offered a place in the cabinet. He declined, but or many years was prominent in the councils of the king, and was rveferred to by many as_‘‘the’ power behind the throne.” * In 1878 he was clected to the legislature, and, after overthrowing the ministry in 1882, he was offered the portfolios of premier and of foreign affairs.

He was- also proficient in a dozen other languages including those of the Orient. Gibson remained in almost autocratic power until the revolution of last Yuly deposed him. The revolutionists, who comprised the missionary clement, were so incensed against him that lynch law was talked of, andarope was even prepared for him.

It was in perfect accord with the surround- ings and circumstances that the opening of the Hotel Selma was made the occasion for & graceful tribute to the traveling salesmen, The aftair was - avranged by the business men of Ashland and how well they succeeded in their efforts is shown by the perfect enjoyment of all present. The trains from the east in the forenoon brought many of the tourists, while the train from Lincolu and the west was literally filled with genial travelers. The arrangements in the mittee for that purpose were adequato and perfect in every detail, for the entofain- ment of all as'fastas they arrived.

When it became certain that the hotel accommodations would be in- adequate, the public spirited citizens gratuitously opened their hLouses to the strangers, and the crowd was distributed, after the hotels were full, throughout the town s0 that all were comfortably provided or. As the guests arrived at the Hotel Selma the strains of sweet music was heard throughout the halls and corridors. In the parlors the visitors were entertained by “imm and vocal music by s Wiggin- orn and Dunbar. In_the twilight onthe streets the Ashland Cornet band filled the air with rapturous melodies and, all in all, one could not help being inspired with a feel: ing of happmess the moment of his arrival. Auhul‘muunfl of a cordial reception were more than gratified and it seems that cvery resident of Ashland was a committee of one to cater to the happiness and comfort of the visitors, At precisely 8 o'clock the doors of the spa- cious dining-room were opened, the guests filed in line. and to the music of a popnlar march seated themselves about the tables to partake of the banquet of the following menu: hands of the com- ovsTERS.

Four drumimors were in the smoker com- paring notedhbott sales and solid customers —with that striet rogard for veracity which 18 80 beautiful a'trait of the drummer's char- acter when it came the hardware man's turn. “I used to have an old German customer in alittle town out_on the Union Pacifie,” he said. “The old man wasn'tup toall the niceties of book kecping, but when he made a dollar he knew it as hard as anybody, and 1o save himself from all the bother of figur- ing out a per cent of profit on his goods he had adopted the simple and comprehensive scheme of selling his goods for just twice what amount they cost him. That was casy and plain and he couldn’t make any mistakes about it. Well, T had to labor pretty hard with him the first bill 1sold, and in_consider- ation of time and trouble I felt justified in tucking on pretty good prices. Of -course, I took o great interest in his busincss, and 'in the course of our talkhe told me how he fig- ured his profit on the goods he sold.” ““As 1 say, I gov my prices pretty well up, and the next time I came around the'old man wouldn't listen to me atall. It appears an- other man had been there in_the meanwhile and sold him_goods so much cheaper than I had that his stock in me was way below zero. I was stuck for & minute—then one of those brilliant thougnts that do sometimes come to great minds flushed upon me. I got my in- voice and the other fellow's invoice and laid them side by side. Then I showed the old man that on a stove he bought of me and paid £15 for he made just & of course ha sold it for #30. Now tho other had sold him the samo stove for §5; he had sold it for $1 and made but # on it, 80 he made §7 more on the stove he bought of me thun he did on the other man’s stove, and so on through the bill. When it dawned upon his mind that instead of making money he had actually lost 204 by buying the cheaper goods, he swore by ocoans of lager that he would stick to me in the fu- ture—and, by Jove, he did.’ The three other drummers threw away the stubs of their cigars and gloomily betook themselves into the next car. He Killed the Dog. An expensive, unfortunate, but at the same time amusing incident oécurred down the Republican valley a short time ago, which has resulted in the “dubbing” of one of Omaha's popular salesmen “dog killer.” He was arriving in_town by team and the horses were hampered by a gay and festive ne. ke mastered his feelings for horses ome time but Mr. Dog persistantly an- noyed them and in desporation Tke adopted “icow boy?! s, borrowed the drivers re- Colvers AreResani’ porsalnly s socitshtally killed Mr. Dog, much to the owner's regret. Appologies, settlements, otc., were In order on Tke's part, but it was no go with the irate owner and consequently Tie was arrestod and fined for shaoting within the city limits The only defense Ike made was accidental shooting, but the driver sneered him by say- ing, it was the “finest shot I ever see.” Grips in the “the Biizzara. The duties and responsibilities of the com- mercial toudist do not permit him to select his time and convenience for a difficult task or shrink from an unpleasant and hazardous journey. It was for this reason that man of the fraternify met with painful cxpe iences during the recent blizzard while bray- ing the blasts in the discharge of their ini- perious duties. Om® of the saddest of these was the death of A. J. Winters, of , Lacrosse, Wis. Mr. Winters was the representative of the Singer Sewng Machine company. Thursday morning, Junuary 12, Mr. Winters started in a sleigh from Yaukton, Dakota His body with that of the driver has been found on the prairie frozen to death, about twelve miles out. The landlord told him a severe storm was comiug, but he said he had weathered many @ blizard and would get through this one all vight. Mr. Winters was about nfty years of age, and highly es- teemed by all Whe knew him, 0. H, Wells has been confined to his bed in St. Anthony hospital at Minneapolis, suffer- ing severely from the effects of the storm. Speuking of his experience Mr. Wells say: “I left Inkster, Dak., on the cars for Wa berton. The temperature was about below, and the track was in & regular block- ade conditton. We struggled through to Conway, and there had to stop. It was abso- lutely impossible to get any further, but as I had ‘some private business to attend to I hired a rig—an ox sled, by the way, with a on box on it, and drawn by 'a pair of spirited bronchos. Off we started, a dri and a friend of mine. The distance to cover was about fourteen miles and we had neared our destination by about nine of them when the.confounded bronchos scared at some- thing and threw my frierid and self out on the snow-enshrouded prairie and started on a mad carcer, and for all 1 know they aro going yet.' Anyhow thoy have never been heard of since, und all we had to do wus to pick ourselyes up aud, shouldering two heavy grips, put our trust in providence and tho telegraph poles to reach Inkster. The weary distance was finally conquered, but almost at the expense of our lives. My friend had to lose one of his fect from his tramp, and here am I with both of my fect frozen badly and disabled, T greatly fcar, for the best part of the winter.” Mileage Tickets. The trade circular of J. K. Armsby & Co,, Chicago, has an article in its recent issue as follows: “There has been qu among passenger ogents of the differont roads about abolishing the 2,000 mile tic nts o mile, and_going back to a mile ticket for#25and a § rebate. Now, while this may accommodate the gencral public better, yet we don't believe that a commercial ticket should be for the gencral public., The railroads are very loth to con- will accommodute Now, we don't know of any species of freight that is carried over us many miles of road that loads and unloads itself oftencr, that gives ds less trouble than a good Tive nan, and they alway It bills in advance, and there are no back to_them, and when the rail ¢ that they canuot treat them any diffes do any other er, it is simply bosh. !

It was dm highly moral representative of one of our wholesale houses who_ is furnish- ing opportunity for banter on the west side, says the Kansas City Times, Some time ago he went sputh in the interest of his house and called o one of the a ited ageuts, The agent wag a genial, hospitable fellow, and was not,slow in offering the Kansas Ci gentleman 4 cigar. “No, thanks," replied the latter, " don't smoke.” **Perhaps you chew, then{ said the southerner. ‘“No, thanks: I denft. use tobacco in any form.” They walked down the st together, and » southerner, atill anxious to be hospitable, you will stop in with me “No, thanks,” replied the Kansas City man, “I never drigk.” A little crushed, but still hopéful, the southerner made one last appeal: *‘it's getting along toward eating time; suppose we drop in and gobs Junch.h “itoally” answered Kausas City, “you must excuse me but I don't care to geat “anything. My throat is troubling me a llttle, and, if you don’t mind, I'll go and get some lozenges.) Juto a drug store they marched, the lozen- ges wero ordered, ana tay gentloman from Kansas City was about tc produce his pocke book when the southerner, with an earnes wave of his hand exclaimed authoritatively “Hold on, right there! You won't smoke, you won't drink, and you won't eat. The medicine is on me.” nml get a drink ! Omaha's Sunday Guests.
