10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1896. ARE THE [RISH PEOPLE CRIMINALS? Rev. Father Yorke's Elo- quent Address Last Evening. OLD ST. MARY'S FILLED. A Spirited Encomium Delivered on Irish Integrity and Patriotism. AN APPRECIATIVE AUDIEKRCE. The Speaker Quotes Many Stirring and Touching Passages From Irish History." A multitude thronged old St. Mary's Church, on California street, last evening to hear Rev. Father Yorke's lecture on, ““Are the Irish People Criminals?” Long before the hour announced for the lecture the vast edifice was filled, not a single seat remaining empty in the gallery or even on the stairs leading to the choir gallery. Upon the east side of the broad platform sat prominent members of the ! local clergy, and on the west side, opposite them, the laity was well represented by many well-known citizens. The audience that listened to Father Yorke last evening was appreciative and sympathetic to 8 marked degree. Before the speaker had proceeded more than a few sentences the audience burst into ap- plause, for which Father Yorke gently re- buked them. Again an . old man in the gallery interrupted the speaker with an earnest “God bless you, father,”” which the whole audience seemed aiso to feel. “The question on which I shall speak this evening,”’ began the spes i that has otten been put during years and answered by a cer la: he in class in a strong affirmative, especiaily by some who have not even yet taken out their first cit- few izenship papers. It has been widely ai- irmed from pulpit and platiorm that every sh Catholic is endowed at birth with a double dose of original sin. [Laugh ] **Let us consider the source from whizh these charges come. They are made chiefly by men whose aim is to purify poli- tics for the interests of their purses, who come here to ra; discord and strife that their own interests may be subserved. This cbarge that the Irish are criminals did not originate in this country. For six centuries it has been reiterated. Six hun- dred yvears ago it was proclaimed that the Irish were so bad that the good people of England should govern them. For 600 ars they have blackened the name of a people whom, though they could wrong, they could not subdue. “The first charge brought against the Irish people was that they were unruly under the benef rule of Mother Eng- lznd. The same charce was made against the people of this country when they de- clared that to command ‘a decent respect he opinions of mankind’ they must r no longer under English rule. If i1 be criminal to refuse to submit in spite of 600 years of oppression, to keep the fire of patriotism burning despite never- ceasing oppression, then every American must pleud guilty to the same charge. Then, indeed, we are criminals, but such criminals that we should be placed beside the heroes of Thermopyle, of Switzer- land, of Bunker Hill and Lexington. “There is another crime beside that of patriotism with which the Irish are charged, the crime of agrarianism. Letus consult history in considering tnis charge. After the battle of Limerick trade sprang up between England and Ireland, princi- | pally in the export of meat. This inter- fered, however, with the pocket of the Eng- lish farmer, and the Englist: farmer, taking Irish profit for English good, stopped the trade. Compelled to keep his stock and sheep where he had formerly exported, the Irishman turned to manufacturing cloth from the wool of his animals. Manufac- ture of woolen fabrics began, and a ready market for Irish goods was found.in Eng- land. In the reign of William this trade was stopped by legislative enactment. “The wool had be sent to England, manufactured into cloth and sent back again for the profit of the English weaver. Yet we are told that the Irish are lazy. And it is England who has robbed them who now points her finger and taunts them with their poverty. It Ireland is not a great manufacturing country in cer- tain lines for which it is naturally fitted, it is because of the sordid greed of those who 150 years ago strove to put an end to Irish manufacturing for their own interests. “The charge is bronght against the Irish that they live on potatoes, that they give ir wives and children what you would give to a horse. lived on potatoes? Less than a century ago Irish papists were not allowed to own more than a few acres of eground. Then they were graciously allowed by Parlia- ment to cultivate bogs and rocky hillsides. Generations worked in these barren spots and after years of toil, bringing sand and seaweed to make a soil, they were able to raise a few potaioes. “Then, instead of the Government en- couraging the toilers with a ‘Well done,’ came the landlord to put on the piece of bog site or hillside a rent, which was spent not for the benefit of the poor, not to improve the condition of land, but in debauchery in the brothels of England, of London and of Paris. And then, because these men had a spark of manhood left in them, thev rose to protect their wives and daoghters from the outrages that were offered them and. to protect their homes from spoliation. Let no Irishman be ashamed of what are called the Agrarian outrages—of having fcught for the honor of kis family, for his hearth- stone and his fire. “‘But the Irish a recharged with being a criminal people. You hear that there are more murders, robberies and crime acainst person than in England or Scotland. Yet, according to the Encyclopedia Brittanica, in 1878, while there were 6487 such crimes in Scotland and § in England, in Ire- land there were but Taking an an- nual average, the number of condemned criminals in ¥ngland is 148; in Ireland, 54. And when we remember that in England murder is defined as the taking of life, while m Ireland condemnation follows any assault that might result in murder; even se death, the 54 cases above mentioned would be lessened. “In the matter of crimes azainst the family we find that Ireland presents the fewest of any country. The fact that Ire- land preserves most closely the family re- lation is seen from the fact that the rate of illegitimacy is lower in Irelend than in other country in the world. And, h as I cislike to do it, a comparison must be made between the different parts of Ireland itself. In the county of Ulster, where religion consists in reading the Bible and cursing the Pope, a land not of milk and honey, but of hymns and godli- ness, the rate of iMegitimacy is 51 to every 1300. while the rate in Connaught is 5 to 1000. _*“And eyen this small percentage of ille- gitimacy in Irish Catbolic communities is due mainly to the workhouses. After the land of Ireland had been six times confis- cated by the English Parliament, after the potatoes failed and famine seized the Irish But, why have they | | people, after robbing the monasteries which fed the poor, in return for the land and manufactures she had taken away, England gave Ireland the workhouse sys- tem. “James Anthony Froude, who came to this country to do the Englishman’s work of defaming Ireiand, had to confess that in Ireland there was less robbery and crime than in any other country of its size in the world. It is fair to judge the Irish by what they are in their own country under the many disadvantages they bave to struggle against; it is good to see here that even their enemies admit the truth of the declaration that Ireland is a crimeless land. | “The accusations made against the Irish {at home have foilowed them across the water. It is charged that they ‘build our jails and fill them’; that they own all the saloons; that they have a monopoly of the records of the police courts, and that they are always in trouble with the law. The sh people in America are mostly immi- grants. Kven where immigration is under the most favorable circumstances it tends, by breaking up old ties and other causes, to increase crime. The Irish immigrants, thanks to the English policy for 120 years of forbidding education being carried on in Ireland by the priests, came to this country for the most pert ignorant and illiterate. Yet even these 120 dark years constitute a glorious pericd in Irish his- tory, when the priests, disguised in in- finite ways, came into the country to comfort and care for the suffering people. “But after all this persecution even the religion of Jesus -Christ was emploved against them. The pious people of Eng- land thought it a proper time to rescue Ireland from the error of popery. The starving peopie were invited to eat of the | abundant food in the Protestant churches, provided they would renounce their re- ligion. Thus robbea, thus starved, forced to sell their religion for a mess of pottage, thus demoralized, the Irish immigrants came to this country. g The men who now cry out against immi- gration forget that it was Irish immigra- tion that made this country to bloowm and blossom as the rose, that it was strong Irish arms that built the great canals and | bridges. Stili more, the Irish people have proved themselves loyal to the country, even to the shedding of blood. Of all who £0 to make up this cosmopolitan Republic the Irish are the most orderly, the most | quiet, the most industrious and the most American. We are told to look at the court records. ‘We must remember in the first place that all Irish names on the police records do | not stand for Irish men. You all know | how common itis for a man when taken up to give 2n Irish name. However, I have examined the records st San Quen- tin and Foisom and have found that de- spite the assertion of a noisy preacher who left this town some time since, that 90 per cent of the convicts at these two prisons are Irish Catholics, the percentage is less than either the English, Weish, Scotch or Scandinavian. | *The crim s which appear charged against the Irishmen are as a class unpre- meditated—are due to hotheadedness and the unfortunate curse of drink. But to the | charee of crimes againsc the family, or forgery, embezzlement, breach of trust, political crimes against purity of Govern- , the Irishman can raise his hands and say, ‘Not guilty. “In regard to drunkenness, though the | Irish may have been great in this sin, so tbey have been great in repentance. While long-haired men and short-haired women have'resoluted resolutions’ saying the Irish are sots the [rish arose almost in a night, as it were, and formed the League ot the Cross. None are making truer efforts than the Irish to stem the tide of drunkenness. “Now we Lave seen the Irish in their own country and we have seen them here; we have seen them struggling in their na- tive land under such oporession as no other country has ever suffered, and we have seen them standing ap to their full height here as men who have never known oppression. She, who has slandered them for 600 years, does not stop in her efforis; her minions are here to caluminate us. Yet thanks to the God of Justice, they could not succeed as they have succeeded in the past.” A SABBATH TRAGEDY ENCS John Hay, Victim of Mrs. Mc- Dougall’s Pistol, Died Last Night. An Operation Failed to Prolong His Life—The Murderess Buried Yesterday. John W. Hay, assistant editor of the Journal of Commerce, who was shot on the evening of the 7th inst. by Mrs. Minna McDougall, the latter subsequently com- mitting suicide, in a lodging-house at 330 McAllister street, died last evening at 7:30 o’clock in the German Hospital. The first scene in the sad tragedy was | enacted on a Sabbath evening. Hay, who who caused his death, was lying in bed, and she was slowly disrobing in the center of their dimly lighted room. He had grown weary of the life of shame they had together peen leading, and with- out turmng towards the woman told her | that he was going bome—was going back to work and to a life of respectability. She | became incensed at the thought of losing Hay’s company and called upon him to | repeat the words. He did so ana was startlea to hear her exclaim in an angry voice, **I[f you are going to try to leave me I will kill you.” Hay turned toward the frenzied woman just in time to see her draw a revolver from her pocket, he saw the weapon blaze as she pulled the trigger and felt the sting as the leaden missile tore its way through his body. He tried to raise up in bis bed, but failed in the attempt. The last thing he remembered was seeing his murderess run toward the mirror, tear her chemise from her breast, shoot herself in the heart and fall to the floor dead. Tenants of the house in which the tragedy occurred heard the shooting and after procuring a policeman forced in the door and found the dead woman and dy- ing man. Hay was removed to the Re- | ceiving Hospital and the body to the | Morgue. Last Monday Dr. Morse per- formed an operation on the wounded man in hopes of saving his life, but Hay never fully rallied after he was shot. He slowly sank and finally became unconscious. TYesterday afternoon it was seen that his life was fast ebbing away and his family and friends were notified, and just at dusk on the Sabbath evening the Iast scene of the tragedy eventuated and the wounded man passed into that sleep that knows no waking. R. H. M<Dougall, husband of the mur- deress and suicide, reached this City from Chicago last Saturday. He immediately arranged for the interment of his wife’s remains and yesterday she was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery. ———————— FLAGS AT HALF-MAST. Respect Shown O. W.

HOGAN - BELLOC UNION. John M. Hyland Weds Miss Julia " Butler, a San Luis Obispo Belle. STOCKTON CHURCH WEDDING. Joseph Williams and Miss Emma Per- kins Married at Mizpah Presby- terian Church. One of the prettiest weddings of the sea- son was solemnized in the Curistian Churck, Woodland, last Tuesday, in which the high contracting parties were Walter Clarence Beatie, a well-known business man of Oakland, and Miss Alma J. Briggs, the third daughter of J. R. Briggs and wife of Woodland. The bride is a native of Yolo County, and was a graduate of Hesperian College and attended the State University for a number of years. a highly accomplished young lady and is noted for her many literary "attainments. Her acquaintances in Berkeley are many, all of whom hold her in high esteem. Mr. Beatie holds a responsible position in | the Oakland Water Company. He is also a member of some of the most select clubs in Oakland and San Francisco. The ceremony was witnessed by a large and brilitant_assemblage, composed prineipally of the relatives and friends of the bride. Quite & number of the relatives and intimate friends | of the groom also accompanied him, There were also present friends from Napa, San Frsn- cisco, every portion of Yolo County and else- where. The church was simply but exquisitely deco- | = ! | n Il'll/‘ldl‘L/ 1/ Jll T ,w»j/mm rated for the occasion. The prevailing colors | were pink, white and green, and pink roses, | white geraninms and ferns dominated. Some ! of the designs were very pretty and original, | and the arrangement was pleasing and in good | taste. Three white doves were features of the decorations most admired. At the np‘minled hour Miss Rose Stewart seated herself at the piano and began the ren- ditlon of Mendelssohn’s exquisite wedding march. The door of the study-room opened and Professor Elston came in to the right ofi the altar. He was ioilowed by the groomsmen, | J. P. Cook of Oakland and Arthur W. North of Winters. The prospective groom, accompanied | by his best man, Edward McGeary, hrouihl U the rear. At the chancel rail the party halted | just as the two great doors of the main ep- | trance swung slowly upon their hinges and were held open by two of the ushers, Misses Blanche Beamer and Nelie Nethercott, while the remainder of the bridal party passed in. Two more ushers, Misses Josephine Steph- eus and Irma Douglus, led the way. The ushers were charming iu white, and esch carried white pinks. Next came the bridesmaids, Misses Mayme Merritt and Harriet Haraszthy. Migs Merritt was diessed in white swiss over b.ue, white hat and blue trimmings, slippers and gloves to match and carrying red pinks and carpations. Miss Haraszthy wore white swiss over yellow, white hat with yellow trim- mings, gloves and siippers to match and car- ried a pretty bouquet of Marechal Niel roses. Then came the maid of houor, Miss Sadie Briggs, a sister to the bride. Her costume was white swiss over pink, white hat and pink trimmings, and she carried La France roses. Then followed little Marie Miller, in snow; white sw low neck and short sleeves, witl white wings hemstitched, pink daisies about those who are fortunate enough to be en- tered as a student in the Polytechnic High School, and more particularly with those who take the course of manual training at that institution. To them the cessation of the period of study comes with deep re- gret, so engrossing and attractive arc their daily duties during each term. While the term for the Polytechnic nom- inally closes on Friday next, the actual work for the first year of the school ceased last week, and the results achieved are a justifizble cause of deep pride on the part of both pupils and irnstructors. No principal in San Francisco probably takes a deeper interest in the welfare and progress of those under his supervision than does W. N. Bush of the institution on the corner of Stockton and Bush streets. In school and out he is giving his best thou ght to the advancement of his pupils and his corps of teachers are no less wrapt up in the success of the school. ‘What distinguishes this institution from all other public schools is its manual train- ing and mechanical art departments. F. A. Gardner has charge of the man- ual training department, and gives his personal attention to the classes in wood- working and mechanical drawing. Miss Maria Van Vleck devotes her talent and energies to instructing in clay model- ing, wood-carving and pen-and-ink draw- ing for newspaper and magazine illustra- tive purposes. Mrs. E. P. Bradley, who is the proud owner of a medal for art work displayed at the World’s Columbian Exposition, teaches the use of crayon and water colors. E. Eldridge has charge of the classin iron work. In one of the rooms there is an exhibit of some of the work of the pupils in all these branches, and as they are the result of but one year’s course at the school they certainly make a most remarkable show- ing. On the walls are displayed pen-and-ink drawings that indicate in many instances marked ability and a careful cultivation of it by the teacher, also bits in cravon and water-color. Then arranged about the apartment are specimens of handsomely and artistically carved articles of wood, such as a combination bookcase and cabi- net in renaissance style, chairs, easels, picture-frames, tables, etc. A dynamo, gear-wheels, shaft-couplings, rings, hooks, eyes, straps, bolts, screws and other work in wrought and cast iron represent the progress of the classes in iron work, while busts, friezes and cornice work in relief show what has been accom- plished by the pupils who have taken up clay modeling. This exhibit will remain open to the public up to and including Wednesday. There are about 250 pupils enrolled at the szhool, and most of the few who left during the term aid so in order to accept positions for which they had been qualified in great part by their course in manual training. The demand for pupils saffi- ciently advanced 1n the various branches of manual training is at present in ex- cess of the supply. The pupils of the Polytechnic High School will not hold graduating exercises this year, but in liéu wili present at Odd Fellows’ Hall to-ni_ht a programme of vocal and instrumental music and a farce. As no funds are received from the depart- from Europe, who will give an exbibition | SELORS,) < | of their skill. Other artists will appear.

A MODEL POLICE STATION North End Property-Owners and Residents Have a Change of Heart. ‘What is known as the North End Police station is now situated on Washington | street, a few doors west of Polk. For a number of years it was located in a little | hole on Pacific street, where there was barely room for the few men then on duty to change their elothes. An increase in the population of the northwestern section of the City necessi- tated a better station, as there were more men detailed for duty. The selecting of new quarters brought the Supervisors thought of locating the | station, until at last the present site was selected and the station built. Since then the people who were so emphatic in their | opposition are now well pleased, as the station is a model in its way. Under the control of Sergeants Fred T. Brown, William Price and Marcellus O. Anderson, the place is kept in first-class condiiion. | The office and cells are on the ground | floor, while upstairs 1s a commodious as- | the station is the stable where the patrol wagon horses are kept. No gentleman has | & superior place for his choicest stud than that for the horses attached to this station, and unlike the other police stations in the City, the horses when waiting for a call to go out are sheltered in a covered gateway, free from draught or dampness. Here the City takes care of its own stock at a saving of $30 a month, with superior stabling ac- commodation and excellent care and feed. . —— LOANS on diamonds. Interest low.

She was exll isitely costumed in white swiss over white silk, with white satin trimmings, gloves and slippers, and carried a loveiy bouquet of white roses. Arriving at the altar there was the usual ceremony of the giving away of the bride, and the party was quickly arranged in the proper order for the solemnization of the marriage rite. Professor Elston of Berkeley pronounced the ceremony in his usual earnest and im- pressive manner. The solemnity and impres- siveness of the event were inteusified by the exquisite rendition of Noir’s ‘“‘Best of All"” by Miss Nellie Beatie, sister of the groom, to an accompaniment by Miss Rose Stewart. Mr. and Mrs. Beatie took their departure for San Francisco on the 2:40 train. After a brief honeymoon they will take up their residence at 6:30 o’clock San Luis Obispo’s | in Oakland. .Last Wednesday mornin; Miss Julia M. Butler, one o fairest d.fignms, gave her hand in marrigge to John M. Hyland, an employe of the Tax Collector’s office of this City. Atan ell’lj’ hour Wednesday morning there was noticed by those few persons whose cus- tom it is to rise early, a bustling throng of handsomely dressed women and men all zoing in the direction oi the Old Mission Catholic Church. They were thither bent to attend the celebration of this young couple’s nuptials. At 6:15 o’clock the famous old church was filled with a great throng o! those who had re- | ceived invitations to the wedding. The church had been decorated by the members of the choir, of which Miss Butler bas long been a feading and use'ul member. The walls were hidden 'neath great festoons of flowers and mosses, and the church altar, aglow with its sacred lights, was adorned with the modest trimmings which old earth sets forth. At 6:30 o’clock, clad in the vestments of his sudtion, Father Aguilera, first priest of the parish, entered inside the chancel, accom- panied by the second priest, Father Conneally, and youthful attendants.’ A grand nuptial mass was at once begun, being spokeun by Father Aguilera. Soon after the %rlx{):l party, consisting of the bride and groom elect, Miss Mavdie Ready and John HalFil;ly, entered and 100k their stations the altar. bef Then amid the flong and trappings at the altar, soft chanting of the hldgen choir, the She is | hush of guests, while the rising sun in the east glinted its first rosy beams through the great old doors upon the sacred scene, the party stood before the holy man of God and sealed in open faith the vows of love. As the party stood at the altar the less senti- mental admired the beautiful costumes of the ladies. The bride wore & beautiful rich white satin, trimmed with heavy drooping laces and orange blossoms. Her ornaments were dis- monds. She carried a_huge bouquet of white roses. Miss Ready was daintily dressed in pink silk crepe with deep chiffon trimmings. She also carried flowers. The gentlemen wore the regu- lation black. After the ceremon arty were conve ride’s parents, 3 the bride and groom and to the residence of the and Mrs. Herne, on Ni- poma sireer, where a magnificent wedding breakfast was awaiting them. Only the nearest relatives and most intimate friends partook of the feast. B Mr. and Mrs. Hyland received an extraordi- narily large number of wuddilj? presents, all of which were costly and beautiful. The happy couple departed on the morning train for San Francisco, where they will in future reside. The wedding of Miss Elodie A. Hogan and Hilaire Belloc will be celebrated this morning at the residence of Henry Hogan in Naps. Miss Hogan is the dauguter of the late John S. Hogan and Ellen A. Hogan, pioneers of Napa Courty.

The arches and chancel were draped with ivy and smilax, the altar was a bed of rare flowers, while the mar- | riage bell was suspended from the center of | the main arch over the chancel, the whole | making a, very pleasing effect. Long beiore | the hour announced for the ceremony | church was crowded with the friends of the | happy couple. i |~ This was to be expected, as the bride, when | | & little girl, was the first charter member of an | organization from which the church took roof. | The pastor, Rev.

W. de Witt, the agent of the Depart- ment of Justice at Washington, who is collecting evidence on [ndian depredation cleims filed against the Government, is in the City. He has been at work in the Pacific States a little over a year and will soon return to headquarters after visiting Sonoma and Humboldt counties. His work is not fin- ished by any means, as there are persons in the City with claims for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and many others living in the Sacramento Valley. All | these will e left until his return trip. The Sonoma case 1s that of a widow at Petaluma named Sarah J. Fowler, who has two small claims that he wishes to hear as an accommodation at this season. In all there are 11,000 claims against the Government for depredations committed by Indians and they amount to $50,000,000. Most of the damage has been committed west of the Missouri, but Mr. de Witt takes testimony and examines witnesses where- ever the claimant may reside at present. When he has compleied Lis inquiries he sends the information on to the Court of Claims st Washington, Most of the depredations have been com- mitted in the Territories where Indian warfare and reservation outhreaks havs most frequently occurred. California's claims, however, amount to between $2,- 000,000 and $3,000,000. - There are in Kngland and Wales 14,960 football clubs. Dr. NEW TO-DAY. Sanden’s Electric Belt.
