History of Some of the World Famous Men Whose Intelligent Efforts Have Been Dirocted Agalnst the Op- pression of England, The first in the series of Saturday night meetings at the Young Men’s Christiun asso- ciation to be devoted to subjects of particular nationalities was that held last nigbt and was called “lrish Night.)! It proved to be & decided success. The lecture room ou the second fioor was entirely filled by a very intelligent and ear- nest audience of gentlemen with a slight sprinkling of ladies. Mr. J. W. Battin pre- sided and the first speaker introduced was Hon. M. V, Gannon. He spoke very ear- nestly and entertainingly upon the charac- teristics and wrongs of the Irish race. Mr. Gannor said hohad been given but a very short time to prepare anything like a speech, but he would talk about the Irish people in a general way. He was glad to meet and talk to the Young Men’s Christian association because it was not the first timo he had addressed the organization, and he felt sure that what he said would be listened to with- out prejudice and with that broad Christian spirit that should characterize intelligent men of every nationality. Wiping Out Prejudice. He was glad to do his part at all times to help wipe out those miserable prejudices which bad been a surse to the human race and a hindrance to the peace and progress of the world, Mr. Gannon said that there was a popular fulacy in this country among the American people, that all~ the crime committed in Ireland was the product of Catholicism. With the single exception of Daniel O'Connelt, Mr. Ganvon said, all the great Irish leaders in the struggle for liberty and justice had been Protestants, Fitz- gerald, Shears, Kmmet, Mitohell, O'Brien and Parnell were 'shinng examples of what Protestants bad done to unite the sons of Ireland in thewr efforts to freo themselves from the oppression of Eng- a There was .0 bitterness between the different religious denominations in Lreland but those who had written Fnglish bistory and Engish literature had taken pains to misrepresent and slander the Irish people, Mr. Gannon then spoke deploringly of the projudice born of religious bigotry. ~FHo said: ‘0! all prejudices in the world that which has religion for its foundation is the least excusable,” He pictured the misery and bloodshed and desolation that had been occasioned by re- ligous prejudice and coutrasted with this the Christlike works of mercy and goodness and the ennobling and c\evlllhlg nfluence of true Christianity as exemplified in the lives of the Sisters of Mercy, the missionaries and true ministers and prissts who follow the meek and lowly Nazarene, Mr. Gannon spoke highly of the work being accomplished by the Young Men's Christian association, and boped that such meetings as that of last night would create a feeling of the universal brotherhood of man among the young men and make them to feel that This world Is full of beuuty, As aro the worlds above; And did we do our duty, It might be tull of love. Mr. Gannou's remarks were loudly ap- plauded, e Career of & Famous Man, Hon. T, J, Mahoney was thon introduoed. He deliverad a very able and ipteresting ad dress upon the life of John Boyle O'Reilly, He followed the tbread of. the famous poet ana journalist's 1ife from bis birta at Delf, on the river Boyno, near the spot where James I1. was defeated by William of Orange, all the way through tho romaotic and re- warkable vicissitudes of his wonderful career to his sudden snd unexpected desth two years ago. Mr. O'Reilly’s a as a conspirator, ~ his confinement in English prisons, his banistwent to tho nenal colgvies of Australia, his escapo to Am:rica and bis subsequent career as ono of tho brightest and most talented ‘newspaper writers and poets of the century wore all presented in choice and eoffective language by Mr. Mahoney. i T'he address was exceptionaliy entertaining and was eagerly listened to by the audience. The hearty applause which followed tho closing sentence attested the high estimation placed upon the speech by those who heard it. Secretary Ober thanked the speakers for their courtesy and kindness 1n furnishiug so admirable an entertainment for the evening. Ho said 1t was the aim of the Young Men’s Christian association to teach the idea that all men were trothors and that while people might differ iu their religious beliefs yet a broad-minded coosideration and respect for every honest man’s conscientious belief should be ontertaiued by every professed Christian, by every intelligent, generous hearted map. —_——— BOOMING SOCTH DAKOT.A. Funds Wil Be Secured to Prepare World’s Falr Exhibition, YAxkTON, 8. D, Jan. 16.—[Special to Tuz Bee.|—The chances are very much in favor at this time of a special session of the South Dakota legislature to consider an appropria tion looking to a fund to be devoted to the collection and placing of an exhibit of South Dakota products at the World’s Columbian exposition. In Muy of 1591 a state World’s fair convention was beld iu this city which created a World’s fair commission. It has laborea at its own expense to raise money for astate exhibit at the exwvosition, Earlyin a its existence the commission en deavored to induce the goverror to call s special session of the log- islature and secure bpledges from a majority of the legislators to unite for an appropriation. should tho legislature be con- vened, but Governor Mellette positively de- clined to convene the body if it would eutail any expense to the state. So the commission tried a stock cowpany scheme, an individual contribution scheme and a county appropria tion scheme. Iach one failed to encouraye the commission and the condition of things made success impossible unless a session of the legislature could be secured, ‘When the commission met here Thursday, President Kvans said empuatically that he would not go bome until the matter of funds was settled or the commission dissolved. He had preyiously invited Governor Mollette to attend the meeung, but the governor failed to appear. The commission in its fiest session telegraphed bisexcelloncy to come, but he could not. The commission passed a resolution stating in substance tbut the com- mission was aware of the seutiments of the peopie in the state, ard |there was no other way of raising the woney except by stato appropriation asking Him 'to call a spocial session and wired it to him verbatun. The governor replied that he was anxious to ca'l the session without expense to the state, aud the ccmmission promptly fendered bim its assurance as a commissjor and individually, each member speaking for his district, that the session would cost the state nothing and asking him to call the special session at once. The goveruor accepted the jtender of assuc- ance and the commission named F'red Evaus, Oliver Gibbs, jr., and Charles Keith to call on the governor and arrange details, I'hat committée went to Pierre today pre- pared to urge the governor to convene the legislature within tbirty days. South Da kota will have un exhibit at the Worla's fair, because i 1s well established that 8 majority of the legislators are favorably disposed toward an appropriation, Melbour Servives Desired, Rario Ciry, 8, D., Jan, 16.—[Special Tele gram to Tue Ber.]—One hundréd and fifty farmers from all parts of. the hills met hery toduy to orgauize for the parpose 01 securing the services of Meibourne, the rain maker.

It organized and Dr. @larko (iapen was uncevemoniously ousted without any particular demonstration. Mayor Bemis rapped the assemblage to order. Chief of Police Seuvey, Sanitary Commwissioner Andres, Health Commissioner Some: and Councilmen MecLeario and Howell iooked lum squarely in the eye as he said; “Gentlemon, I suppose you all know what we ore here for—to organize the Board of Health under the now administration.” City Attorney Connell, whosat over by the door, looked on as if hu had no interest in the proceedings, and Dy, Gapen and his attorneys maintained a sort of aggressive position in tho backeround. “What is your picasure, zentlemen?” asked the mayor, and Mr. McLearie read the fol lowiug: Whercas, Dr omers has been duly appointed by and confiemed by e city councell sslonerof health of the sty of Omuha: Whorcas, s pre Gapen, raises sou hold said office; Resolved, by A omers be and h weniber of waid hoard, o quested to participate in its proceedings und LcLas U8 secrolary us provided by the chur- tor Dr. Gapen's attorney wanted to make a statement at this juncture, sayig that he apoeared as counse *Uror whom ' der “For Dr. Gapen.’ +fe 13 not a momber of this board and bas 10 voico in its deliberations.”’ “That is just the matter that we want un derstood.’” “He. will not be recognized as such,” wus the mayor's final ultimatum, “Itead your letter, doctor,” said Gapeu's counsel, and the ex-comwissioner stepped forward and read and handed to the mayor the following letter, whicn hud been drawn up by bis lawyer a'fow minutes before, and on which the nk was hardly dry : OMAHA, Jan 16,110, G i ahit clined (o Kee iize Gapen, anaed the mayor, You are re- ady to por- issioner of honith for with you Sonrd o ity of wnd tho ¢ por- sonully 1o perform all the dutles ut’v'hllllx“llfl to that oftice und will meet you and the other members of the bourd for” consultution and aetion at il propor tiue: s Yours very respectfully, (3 £ GAVEN, Commissioner of Heulth, Tho mayor took the lotter but paid no at- tention to it, and asked what was to be aono with McLearie's resolution. Mclearie moved its adoption and the question was put, MeLearie voting ‘“aye” and Gapen ‘no.” It was declared carried, and (iapen dewanded a yea and nay vote of all the wombers. 1t was so oraered, and Mclearie sung out e good wud loud whou bis name was led. Attorney Counell Heard ¥ Chief Seavey was next called upon, and he didn’t know what to do, s0 he asked that the resolution be read again. It was vead, and then the chief wanted to be excused' from voting. He said that ho know notbing of the merits of the caso as between Gapen and Somers, and the courts would probably bave to settle 1t anyway. He would rather be ex cused, but would vote if so ordercd McLearie iusisted that the chief should NMNIS Monday morning we put on sale all Dress Goods Rem- nants at prices which will and must surely close them out.

Me. Conneil replied by stating that the provisions regulating thé appointment of commissioner of heulth were somewhat con- flicting, out he thought they could be recon- ciled. Regarding section 143, under which the appointent was made, he said the sce- tion was swaeping, plain' and mandatory. The mayor must avpoint & commissioner of health, and it the council fails to centirm, the mayor must repeat his appointment every Tuesday night. The term of oftice of every one of the many officers appointed by Lhe mayor expires with the mayor’s oftice, unless sooner ramoved. This provision was un- doubtedly made in order toinsuroall the officers working in harmony, either polit- ically or otherwise. “Dr, Gapen’s altorneys claim,” said Mr. “onnell, “‘that the section under which he was appointed is excepntion. 1f this is so 1t is sirango that it is the only one. Such an amendment looks very much as if its passage had been secured by some one interested in this department, eitber divectly or indirectly, as it is utterly at variance with every other provision of tho charter. It provides that ! bis torm of office shall be for two years, buv with this reservation—‘unless sooner re- moved orretired.’ 1t is very plain to mo that he is retived in this case by the action of the mayor and council, The "sections are conflicting, and it 1s fair to conclude thut the legislaturo never iutended to make a single exception 1o this case, All courts hold that eonflicting sections sball be made to barmouize if possible, and it is possivle to hargnonizo these iu this way." ief Seavey Voted Aye, | This brought the vote arounda to the chief agaiv, but he looked around and asked: *Who seconded that motion to adopt! If it wasn't seconded there is nothing before the house."” Nobody pleaded guilty to baving seconded the motion 7aiting @ minute tho mayor said: I suppose the d it, and I w | nd after president can Al doso.

Mr. Howell voted “aye" witnont & mur- mur, gotton ner Arguments for Dr. Gapen’s attorneys managed to gota few minutes’ bearing, and argued the case {rom their standpoint. They urged that the futent of the legislature was nonpolitical, ana insisted that the last action of the body was surely intended to lay over previous log- islation. They urged that a sp would hold over a general one, but their ar guments failed to convince the mombers of the board that the mayor had in auy degreo exceeded his prerogatives. When Mr. Andres’ vote was called for ho said that inasmuch as the mayor had the ap- pointive power it was not for the board de us to its logality, and he voted “aye, The mayor voted tho same way, makivg it unanimous, and Dr, Gapen was thus legis- o lated out of office. His attorney stated that bis client would turn over tue office without further troublo. McLoarie introduced another resolution, ceading a8 follows Resolved, That all inspectors or other par- ties heretofore cuployed by the Board of Health or 1o connection with the Health dee partment of the city of Omuha he, and the sute nre horeby relleved from duty and dis chiarged from further sorvice.
