HEAD ABOUT THE GLOBE'S BABY BENEFIT! VOL. IX. THE GLOBE WAS AT HOME. Hundreds of Ken and Women Called to See How Their Favorite Paper Is Made, At the First Reception to the Pnhlic by the Globe in Its Magnificent New Quarters. Fair Ladies Who Wondered at the Mys teries of Typesetting and Turning Oat the Plates, And From the Lofty Tower to the Base ment New Scenes of Interest Were Shown Them. There are a great many more people who understand the inner workings of a newspaper oflice from the ground up than there were yesterday morning, for the doors of the magnificent new Globe building were thrown open to the public last evening at 7 o'clock, ami the public took advantage of the opportunity offered them of posting themselves re garding the mysteries of the art preser vative. The building is not yet com pleted within. The inside finish will not be made perfect until next week, and the Interior of the building was not as attractive as it will be a few days hence, but the various departments of the newspaper construction were in full operation, and a splendid idea was got ten of how a newspaper is made. The rotunda of the building was a blaze of light- and the tesselated floor gave a very pretty effect, together with the wainscotting of polished granite, the solid iron balustrades of the stairs and the heavily-carved newel posts. From the rotunda to the roof, nine stories up. electric lamps were hung at intervals and filled the corridors with a brilliancy that outrivaled the radiance of the sun. UP TO THE CLOUDS. A few minutes past 7 o'clock the guests began to arrive, and from that lime until nearly midnight the two ele vators were constantly Hying up and down their shafts filled with ladies and gentlemen who had come to see how newspapers are made. "Are we going, to the clouds?" asked one pretty girl of her escort, and he re plied that if nothing happened to stop the elevator they would go - some way above the clouds. She shivered a little shiver and whispered that she didn't care if he only went with her. The feet of the visitors tended first to the rooms .ofthe city editor and the reporters, ..thence to the apartments of the night editor, telegraph editor, managing ed itor and editor-in-chief. These rooms, though furnished temporarily, looked neat and were brilliantly lighted with Edison lamps and. the members of the •staff were all at their desks busily en gaged in reeling off startling sensations, quiet common-places and fairy stories. THE MURDER EDITOR. "This is the murder editor and police reporter," explained a member of the reception committee to a party of young ladies, and he pointed to a smooth-faced, dramatic-looking being with his coat off and the perspiration pouring down his face as he wrote. "Wliy, how gentle and tame he looks," she whispered. "I thought the man who wrote about those murders and sui cides must be a fiendish-looking man. I believe I could love him if he had money." "These are reporters," continued the member of the committee, pointing to a cluster of men grinding away at market reports and other items. "Aren't they neat-looking? And how intelligent! Why, they don't look as though they were a bit wicked. I al ways thought reporters were awful bad," said a neat-looking little lady, with her blue eyes wide open with as tonishment. A REAL MAN. When the guests reached the office of the editor-in-chief they received a cor dial welcome, and the delighted ladies gathered around him and pinched him and chatted with him, as though the one ambition of their life was being satis fied. The moulder of public opinion dropped his pencil and patiently an swered all their questions, and" ex- "Bow long does it take you to write one of those editorials?" asked a tall in tellectual-looking woman. "Oh, we generally dash off a column or two an hour," he replied, "Oh, my:*' exclaimed the inquisitor. "I couldn't write that much in a week. You must have a writing machine." RAs the editor and the visitors chatted, two young ladies stood in the rear of the crowd looking on in open-eyed wonder. After listening a few moments one of them whispered to the other: "Mary!" "What?" "I do believe he's a real man after all." and they went up to the stereotyp ing department. -X. "that's pi." [EH \f In the newsroom the guests seemed \ to enjoy themselves hugely. The rapid ity with which the printers picked up the type and transferred it to their "ticks, dumped it on the galleys and . r.-?rformed various other little feats pe l__J.ir to the art, struck the . visitors j^-— •\wonder, and for a time they were S'.y.r ~^*~-& ~^S- awed into silence, but the curiosity of the fair ones soon got their tongues loose, and then the foreman and bis as sistants were kept busy answering the swarm of questions that were poured in upon them. The pneumatic tube ami tho modus operandi puzzled the ladies and a man was detailed to turn the crank and explain the power that forced the leather receptacles from the business oilice eight stories into the a'r. "It looks like a cider mill I saw at the fair," said one. "1 should think it would grind that paper al! up," said another. "1 wonder how they'd clean it out if oio ot those things got stuck half way," mused a third. And so they watched and wondered. There was one lady who seemed bound to acquire all the knowledge re garding the business in the one even ing, and there was not a feature of the profession that she didn't pry into with the whole strength of her woman's curiosity. "That's an imposing stone," said the foreman. "1 don't see anything very imposing about it." said she. "What's thai." she asked, punching the outside column of a page of type that rested on the stone with her fan. ""-P.t's pi!" yelled the foreman, as the *. c fell over under the pressure of thef-.v.. Shi > him an incredulous look, but an instant later asked him what he did witii it. "Put it in the hell box," said he. She placed her bottle of smelling salts to her nose and didn't speak to the tore man again during the evening. POOR THINGS. It was very warm in the stereotyping room and the workmen with bared arms and faces reeking with perspira tion were objects of sympathy with the uninitiated. "Poor things," they said, "how I wish I'd brought a fan to give them." The melting of the composition, the making of the matrix, the pouring and the trimming was watched with interest from the start. Many of the ladies wore wraps, but their enthusiasm soon got the better of them, and the wraps came off and were hung on the arms of their escorts, while they stood over the machinery and closely watched the movements of the workmen. "My!" said one young lady, "if I was working in here you bet I'd wear a low neck and short sleeves." NEARER HEAVEN THAN EARTH. From the stereotyping-room .to the tower cost but a brief trip up a short flight of stairs, and to this point the visitors went from the hat-room. The change was a gratifying one, and as the people looked out from the windows of the tower down and around upon the city with its myriads of twinkling lights and its masses of dark buildings, they seemed farther from them than did the stars that glistened in the great dome above them. Here they stood, hundreds of feet above the earth, ami gazed spell-bound and silent. Their enthusiasm rendered them dumb for the moment, but when the first sense of awe died away, then there was a busy guessing as to what building that dark mass over there was, or what street those two ranks of twink ling lights was on, or if that sinuous track that looked like the trail of a phosphorescent serpent winding its way through an eternity of darkness was the river. It was a beautiful sight, and one which the first visitors were loth to leave and give up to the anxious eyes of others. "It seems so near heaven I hate to leave it," remarked one sentimental maiden as her escort dragged her away to give place to others. RELOW THE SURFACE. From the tower the trip was made to the press-room, twenty feet below the surface of the earth, and the ride to this point on the elevators was an inter esting one. Through the labyrinth of whirring pulleys, gliding belts and buzzing shafts the visitors found their way to the pressroom, where the com pact mass of machinery that gives the finishing touch to the newspaper was in operation. This was indeed a source of wonder to them, and they looked at it and ran their hands over the polished cylinders as though they thought it a thing of intelligence and capa ble of thinking. The buzzing of the wheels and the hissing of the steam caused the ladies to stop their ears with the tips of their dainty fingers, yet they would crowd around it as though they thought they could gather intelligible ideas from the chaos of sound. As the great roll of blank paper was consumed by the press, which gave it back neatly* folded and covered with the thoughts of man beau tifully expressed in the king of lan guages, the admiration of the onlookers knew no bounds. "The man who invented that machine must have been all mind and no body," ventured a tall, square-shouldered man to the lady on his arm. -Tea," she replied, "don't you waste your time, John, trying to improve on it." He smiled an invalid sort of a smile and said: "Let's go out. Its too close here." It was nearly midnight when the last visitor left the biiikT , "i*r,and I.t can safely be said that the e*f***-»ng was one or pleasure as well as profit" to those who came. A like reception .will be held each Saturday night hereafter between the hours of 7 and 9 until further no tice, to which all citizens of the United States are cordially invited.

The Skeleton of an Old-Time Highway man Found Moldering on the * Banks of the Red River, And Near by, in a Deserted Hut, Were Discovered Thousands of Dollars in Coin and Greenbacks. Sioux City Getting Ready for the Erec tion of a Big Railway Bridge Worth $1,500,000. Omaha Also Desirous of Spanning the Missouri— General Intelligence of the Northwest. Special to the Globe. Fargo, Dak., May 14.— A day or two ago the skeleton of a man was found by two men from Minnesota, about a mile from Caledonia on the bank of Red river.near a hut that had evidently been his home. In this in some of his old clothes were found a large roll of green backs in a bag, also gold and silver in sacks, in all about '"'5,000. The case is a great mystery to the people, but it is supposed that the remains are those of one of the robbers known to have built huts in the Caledonia jungles, somewhat noted in connection with the name of Cole Plummer. The coroner will inves tigate. SIOUX CITY'S BIG BRIDGE. Arrangements Completed for Un dertaking an Important Enter prise. Special to the Globe. Sioux City, la., May 14.— A bridge is to be built across the Missouri at Sioux City. This morning the Sioux City Bridge company announced to the people the culmination of the negotia tion with the Minneapolis, Chicago & Northwestern and Chicago, St. Paul & Omaha railways touching the building of bridge at this point. The railroad company takes the charter granted to the bridge company in 1875, and agrees to begin the work of construction as soon as the plans now prepared are ap proved by the secretary of war. The past winter the Northwestern company tried to secure a charter, but the move was defeated through the instrumental ity of Hon. .1. S. Struble, and since thai time the railroad has fought the move on foot to construct a bridge - inde pendent of them. An election was held Monday to enlarge the city boundaries to take in the proposed site, so that a tax to the amount of $300,000 could be voted. This was carried by 1,000 majority and preparations at once began for an election on the tax question di rect, as the bridge company had made an offer to build if "'•'00.000 could be se cured to aid the enterprise. As soon as the railroad company saw that the peo ple were in earnest in the matter they signified their willingness to ACCEPT THE CHARTER, which had been repeatedly offered them on certain conditions. Representatives of the bridge company have been in Chi cago all the week, where, on Tuesday, they met President Keep and Manager liughitt, of the Northwestern, and Mr. Winter and Mr. Whiteman, of the St. Paul & Omaha, and submitted their proposition drawn carefully by C. L. Wright, of this city. Wednesday after noon they again met the railway Officials and completed the agree ment • whereby the company is to build a bridge at once, adopt all the old plans, and accept every ma terial thing asked by the bridge com pany. They agree to build a bridge under the name of the Sioux City Bridge company. The bridge shall be open to the use of all companies upon reason able compensation the work shall be gin as soon as the plans are approved and the officers of the old bridge com pany can turn over the stock and fran chise, which they agree to do. A bridge at this point will open through com munication with the Northwestern's Ell-horn system in Nebraska, which is rapidly being extended through Wyom ing to the Pacific coast. Plans for the bridge have been prepared by Engineer George Maverson, of New York, who has had charge of all the bridges so far built across the Missouri, and the struc ture will cost about $l,o00,()00. The New Omaha Bridge. Special to the Globe. Omaha, Neb., May 14.— General Man ager Clarke and Assistant Tucker, of the Milwaukee, arc here, and spent to day closeted with President Adams and the directors of the Union Pacific. The question of a new bridge across the Missouri at this point was the subject under consideration. The Milwaukee is about to bridge the river for the ex tension of its line in Nebraska under the name of the Nebraska Central. The Union Pacific, it is said, wants the Mil waukee to continue the use of their bridge and drop the scheme of a second bridge. The matter will be decided Monday. Young Train Wreckers. Special to tbe Globe. Eau Claire, May 14.— James and William Murphy, boys of 13 and 15 years, respectively, were arrested to-day and jailed to await examination on complaint of W. A. Miller, of Racine, a detective in the employ of the Wisconsin Central. The boys are accused of having derailed Wisconsin Central passenger trains about ten weeks ago between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls by throwing a switch. Trains had been derailed and barely escaped being wrecked several times in succession, when the company put on armed guards at the switch, since which time no accidents have occurred. Two detectives have been at work on the case. The first detective gave it up after arresting a runaway boy from Min neapolis who proved innocent. The Murphy boys are of respectable family, sons of an employe of the Eau Claire Lumber company. They had been read ing dime novels. Successful Burglars. Special to the Globe. Duluth, Minn., May 14.— About 10 o'clock this morning A. C. Keyes, as sistant passenger agent of the St. Paul &_iiluth, at the depot, was returning to the depot, where he sleeps. lie no ticed on nearing the building that the light which he had left turned down was entirely out. Unlocking the front door he felt his way to the ticket office door which was locked. .. On entering the room he saw at a glance that the back window was open, and he hastily gave the alarm. When some people had as sembled a light was brought, and the money drawer found pried open and the loose change (about $60) abstracted, to gether with vouchers, tickets and valu able papers. Agent Robinson was summoned, but cannot determine the exact loss until the office is checked up. The burglars left eleven cents in the drawer, and a nuniber of valuable papers were picked up out ride. -__ large chigeLw}-j_fou,nd_in the_ oflice, and marks of its use on the win-, dow and drawer were plainly seen.] Agent Robinson had placed *?4'.)2 in cur- j rency in the hotel safe after the depart-] ure of the freight train. Several sus picious men were noticed around ' the" depot during the day, and the police are on the trail. The thieves were evi dently scared away by the approach of Keyes. Sabbath School Convention.

Owatonna, May 14.— The body of the man found in Straight river was identi fied yesterday as that of Em ll Yanke, who for the past two years has been in the employ of E. Mathwig on his farm in the town of Deerfieid. It was at first supposed he had been murdered for his money, as Mr. Mathwig paid him $28 last Saturday, but this theory is not ad mitted by the coroner, who. on investi gation, found that amount of money in the dead man's trunk at Mr. Mathwig's, and also found a small sum on his per son. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of "death by premeditated drowning." An uncle, Michael Yanke, is his only relative in this country. . Stole Kleven Dollars. Special to the Globe.

The Populace, Headed by the Mayor and Several Bishops of the Estab lished Church, Denounce O'Brien as a Dangerous Agi tator, and Bow at the Feet of Lord Lansdowne. A Cablegram Sent Premier Salisbury Announcing the Action of Vic toria's Faithful Subjects. Meanwhile the Irish Editor, From His Coign of Vantage at Montreal, Reviews the Situation. Toronto, May 14.— A public meeting was held this afternoon in Queen's park to protest against William O'Brien's act in coming to this city for the purpose of speaking against the governor general. The meeting was atttended by about 15,000 people. The proceedings were characterized by the greatest enthusiasm and perfect order. Mayor Howland presided. On the plat form with him were the bishop of Toronto, the bishop of Algoma, Prof. Goldwin Smith, Rev. 7 Provost Cody, and Rev. Prof. Clarke, of Trinity college. Rev. G. M. Milligan, Rev. Dr. Potts, Rer. Canon Damoulin and many other clergymen and prominent citizens. After the mayor had read the proclama tion calling the meeting the Bishop of Algoma moved the first resolution as follows: That this meeting reprobates the action of William O'Brien visiting this city for the purpose of exciting a hostile feeling against his excellency the governor general, on ac count of differences between his excellency anil his tenants in Ireland, and expresses its entire unabated confidence in the high char acter of his excellency the Marquis of Lans • downe, and in his fitness to represent her majesty in Canada. His lordship in moving the resolution protested against the great wrong, UNBLUSHING INDECENCY ! and audacious impertinence about to be perpetrated by O'Brien in coming to Toronto. He said that this fair Domin- I ion was not the home of rebels. O'Brien's ; coming was founded on falsehood and hypocrisy. Hon. Mr. Clarke, M. P. P., , seconded the resolution which was sup • ported by the bishop of Toronto, and j carried amid tremendous cheering and - waving of hats. Only about twenty hands in the throng were held up ; against the resolution. Prof. Goldwin Smith moved : the second' resolution as ■ follows: ' That this meeting looks with perfect confi •"■ deuce to the parliament of the United King dom for a wise and just settlement of all questions relating to Ireland." He said that while willing to give all benefits to Irish citizens, he wanted to ■ be done with this truckling to the Irish ' vote. Speaking of* O'Brien, "'he said they did not want to have his excellency* attacked by men steeped in venom anil with lips envenomed with untruth: Rev. Dr. Potts, seconding the reso lution, made a speech which aroused the audience to the wildest enthusiasm, He asked, Shall the Fenians of the United States, represented by O'Dono van Rossa, settle this perplexing Irish question, or shall their second cousins in Canada settle it? [Cries, "Never," and cheers.] No; the settlement of the question rests with the British parlia ment, but before one concession is given they must first and foremost insist that British law and order must be main tained. Rev. P. M. Milligan supported • the resolution, whicii was carried amidst :;; ; TREMENDOUS CHEERING only one or two hands being held up against it. Rev. Canon Dumoulin. mov ing that copies of these resolutions be transmitted to the governor general and Lord Salisbury, charged the trouble in Ireland not to the landlords, but the tenants, who were moonlighters, boy cotters, etc. He said O'Brien's coming was for the foul and audacious purpose of inciting loyal citizens to re bellion by the parade of blatant and impudent falsehoods, and that the veay purpose of his visit was an outrageous lie. He character ized O'Brien as one of the most auda cious liars of the present time. The resolution was carried amidst great cheering. Mayor Howland addressed the meeting, thanking them for orderly behavior, and urging them, amid cries of "Never," to give O'Brien a fair hear ing if he came here. Three cheers and a tiger were given, amidst great enthu siasm and waving of hats for the queen and Lord Lansdowne and the vast mul titude with uncovered heads joined in singing the national anthem. Ad journed. Mayor Howland sent the fol lowing cablegram to Lord Salisbury : A great moss meeting in the Queen's park, at Toronto, reprobates O'Brien's mission, ex press confidence in Lord Lansdowne, and also look with confidence to the British par liament for a wise and just settlement of the Irish question. ARRIVED AT MONTREAL. Montreal, Que., May 14.— William O'Brien arrived in this city to-day at 8 o'clock by the steamer Montreal, which left Quebec yesterday asternoon at 5. As both himself and the evicted tenant Kilbride were greatly fatigued, they '. asked to be allowed to remain on board , and enjoy a few hours' rest, which they • were allowed to do. Mr. O'Brien left y the vessel at 10 o'clock, and thought to j escape in a cab unobserved, but as he i stepped ashore Pat Ryan, a policeman, ' who spoke with a rich Minister : brogue, rushed forward and grasped him warmly by the hand. "May the Lord save you, sir," he ex claimed. "I would sooner have your little finger than the body and bones of Lansdowne," at which Mr. O'Brien smiled. He learned that "Pat" was a ; Limerick man. and that he had already , been suspended once by the chief of po • lice here on account of bis too outspoken sentiments in favor of Ireland. The threats from Toronto continue to loom ;" up bigger and bigger, but the editor of \ United Ireland and people here who are 1 best qualified to judge, assert that they are only threats. There is a mistake in connection with the statement already published that Mayor Howard's dispatch to Mr. O'Brien was not paid for. It was paid for to this city, but the telegraph authorities informed Mr. O'Brien that tney _ WOULD NOT FORWARD IT to Quebec, where he was, unless it was prepaid by him. The statement that Mr. O'Brien was escorted to a hall in this' city, where he lectured, by men ' armed with revolvers, was fiction. No such thing occurred. His visit here is kindly looked upon by all parties, par : ticularly since he has spoken, which has : brought over many non-Irish, who ex pected him to appear on the platform with a sword in one hand and a dyna mite boom in the other. The most sig ' ; nificant fact that has as yet transpired is the offer of Quebec men to send a stal . wart bodyguard of armed men to escort Mr. O'Brien to Toronto. Mr. O'Brien, ' .'who is anxious to do nothing that can be canstrued into a violent action, re fused the offer, which shows, notwith -1 standing the enthusiasm aroused, that |_ little excuse remains for the Toronto people to create a disturbance. On leav ing Quebec last evening AN EXCITING SCENE OCCURRED. From the moment the party set out from the Grand Central depot, New York, until this morning, a übiquitious indi vidual has been iii sight all the time. He took .he same boat, the same train, staying at the same hotel, and when the visit to the country was decided upon he hired a coupe all alone and got as near as possible to the carriage where the O'Brien party was. As the vessel steamed out from Richelieu pier, Que bec, the mysterious and übiquitious man was discovered and the crowds ashore created a tumult by threatening to throw him off the boat. Mr. O'Brien knew nothing of this. The angry crowd was calmed by J." 11. Lane and 11. C. derail, ollicers of tlie Montreal National league, and the steamer passed out of the harbor in peace. That an immediate effect has been produced by Mr. O'Brien's visit, is no longer doubted.. For instance, Lord Lansdowne.who is accustomed to spend some time in the citadel at Quebec ac this season of the year, will not go there this year,so bitter is the feeling aroused against him by Mr. O'Brien's recital of his doings as a landlord in Ireland. As Lord Lansdowne will not be in Toronto when Mr. O'Brien arrives, but at Otta wa, where a demonstration is organiz ing in his honor, some think that any trouble, if trouble there is, will take place on the same day. AN INTERVIEW. Perhaps the exact situation may best be ascertained from O'Brien himself, who spoke to an Associated Press rep resentative this evening, as follows: "Up to the present the result has more than answered my most sanguine ex pectations. From end to end of this province of Quebec, although, of course, 1 have encountered a good many oppo nents, I have not experienced the slightest mark of disrespect not to say violence. 1 have met some who doubted the advisability of our visit, but 1 have not met a single one who, having heard us, was not convinced that we had the amplest and most terrible justification for the course we have taken. 1 have been simply amazed at the extent to which the prejudice so unscrupulously aroused against us has been dissipated in the course of the briefest intercourse with the people. The fact is, of course, due not to ourselves, but to the abso lutely unanswerable strength of our in dictment. It is too much to Bay, some threats to the contrary notwith standing, that we challenge the opinion of the people of the province of Ontario with confidence. Lord Lansdowne is likely to investigate for himself public opinion of his conduct in the province of Quebec. In Montreal I find that within the last two days the condemna tion of Lord Lansdowne has become greatly intensified, and is showing itself In quarters from which I least expected it. As for our experience in Quebec, it was so uniformly satisfactorj that, al though 1 had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of a very large num ber of the citizens, of all grades and na tionalities, can honestly say I did not hear a single expression favorable to Lord Lansdowne, while his opponents who attended our demonstration were free in their acknowledgments that the " statements, if unrebutted, were simply appalling. This result is, I think, thor oughly secured, that the Canadian peo ple recognize that a case has been made which -_ ' MUST RE ANSWERED. Not a single one of Lord Lansdowne's champions in the press has attempted to tackle the facts of the controversy, although Lord Lansdowne many weeks ago, through his aide-de-camp, supplied them with his version of the transaction. His friends are reduced to two picas, neither of which will bear the light of robust public criticism for a moment. The first is that, as governor general, Lord Lansdowne is sublimated above all criticism from the people whom he rules and who pay him. This is a doc trine so opposed to British constitu tional law that I can scarcely imagine how any person instructed In ihe rudi ments of English constitutional theory, can for a moment seriously propound it The queen's civil list is the one item for expenditure which the repre sentatives of the people are not entitled and bound to criticise to their constituents. The fact that the Canadian parliament is called upon to vote money for any purpose entitles them and the Canadian people to discuss with the most absolute freedom the purposes to which it is to be put. Their right to do so is in fact the A B C of constitutional government. Much more delicate topics than Lord Lansdowne's conduct in Ireland are constantly dis cussed as a matter of right and duty in the imperial house of commons. With experience of the expenses of royal pal aces and even of the marriage dowries which the queen asks for her children. an English constitutional lawyer would smile at the suggestion that when act ing as the mouthpiece of the state the governor general, paid by the Canadian people, can do no wrong, although it is shown beyond possibility of denial that he is USING CANADIAN MONEY for the perpetration of an injustice which the Canadian parliament lias again and again denounced. Lans downe's other plea is a still more washy one. namely, that his mouth is closed against the defense. His own action and that of his agent utterly confute it. He was himself the first to resort to newspaper controversy on the subject, before I had an opportunity, and the first to make an exparte and disingenu ous statement of his side of the case be fore I had any opportunity of answer ing him. He, through his aide-de-camp in Ottawa, ami through his agent in Ire land, has made himself liberally heard in his own defense in the newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic, lt is therefore preposterous for him to close his door against the newspaper inter viewer now when an adequate reply— if he can make would be most crush ing. We have not dealt with the subject in a declamatory way, but by a plain array of facts. "if they can be disputed our position would be more seriously damnified than by a thousand attacks with violence of the character with whicii we are threatened at To ranto and Kingston. If, on the con trary, Lord Lansdowne allows judgment to go by default, it will now be Impossi ble for him to conceal from the Cana dian public that it is because there is absolutely no denying the horrifying character of his proceedings in Ireland." "If you are refused permission to ap pear in Toronto and Ottawa what then?" "Well. I shall certainly exercise my legal right, and visit and 'speak at those places." "Can they prevent you?" "There is nothing in the law of Can ada to prevent me carrying out mv in tention, and while I should most deeply regret that our visit should occasion the smallest interruption of domestic tran quility in Canada, I feel coerced as a matter of life and death for nearly 500 cruelly oppressed Irish tenants to GO RIGHT AHEAD and arouse honest public opinion against these atrocities. I should be sorry to anticipate that these rumors of war have any serious significance. I should be quite as willing to submit our case to the judgment of juries of relatives of Canadian Orangemen in the North of Ireland as to any audience of Irish Na •_______£____ -■- - :-. -v.7. . BISHOP IRELAND HOME. The Renowned Prelate Welcomed Home to St. Paul From His Long Visit to Rome. Prominent Members of the Catholic Church Escorted Him to His Residence in State. A Presentation by the Bishop's Friends —Refuses to be Interviewed on His Trip. An Address of Welcome J.D. O'Brien Briefly but Feelingly Responded to by the Bishop. When the Chicago express pulled into the union depot yesterday morning, one of the last passengers to alight from the Pullman sleepers was Bishop Ireland, who had just returned to St. Paul after a lengthy visit to the holy father at Rome. Grouped on the depot platform were a number of parishoners of the bishop, and at their head stood Bishop ('race and Fathers Ravoux and Shanley, With a smile beaming all over his good natured face, Bishop Ireland attempted to escape from friends, but was inter cepted by Bishop ("race with the re mark: "No use trying to leave us that way, bishop." Then there was an eager pressing forward of the following committee: Dennis Ryan, John D. O'Brien, P. T. Kavanagh. J. G. Donnelly, M. R. Prendergast, Patrick Butler, Thomas Brennan. James King, S. J. Ahem, City Clerk Prendergast, George Mitsch and Alfred Dufrene, and before Bishop Ireland was fully alive to the situation lie was comfortably seated in a new Palmer & Doucet brougham, drawn by a pair of spirited black horses, the ribbons being entrusted to - David Burke, of the Hotel Ryan stables. Arriving at the bishop's residence, a large crowd was found awaiting the popular prelate, and he was fairly borne into his study by the throng, where J. D. O'Brien de livered a short address of welcome and formally presented to the bishop the team behind which he had been riding. Tlie substance of Mr. O'Brien's address was: "If your lordship could know how im patiently we have waited for your re turn you would realize how welcome you are more than anything we can now say. These six months of your absence HAVE SEEMED LONG* TO US. "We heard of you in Rome. in France, and last in Ireland, and we rejoice to know that your name and merit has pre ceded and gained for you the recogni tion that you deserved. Yet we feel sure that there was no place or people that could ever be to you what this place and people are. Our pleasure upon your return is not only caused by sentiments' of affection, but also from the conviction your absence has brought to our minds of how necessary your pres ence is amongst us. We would be want ing in common powers of observation if we did not perceive that at this time and in this country we are upon the one hand beset with many penis, while on the other hand we have the advantage of splendid opportunities. The impell ing and characteristic spirit of Chris tianity has from the first— and notably within the last few hundred years opened to civilization vast portions of the globe heretofore undreamt of. The sphere of Columbus. Marquette, Henne pin and such like men could not be ex tended beyond discovery and dedica tion, and "it was left for other men, at other times, to organize society upon the scene of their discoveries. This was no new problem to Christianity, for it hail successively accom plished the task in all the coun tries of Europe. But here it is to be done under, widely different circum stances, in the presence of a spirit of restlessness and of confusion to some degree produced in men's minds by their new and enlarged surroundings, and that have inevitably caused great social and economic changes. To estab lish a beneficient and enduring system of civilization has often been attempted by men, but it has only been accom plished through Christianity* so we must recognize that in this world-build ing which now engages us, in this changing from the old order to the new, the vital question is whether or not our civilization will be a Christian one. We cannot doubt that Almighty Cod will, in the natural order, "select for the establishment of such a civiliza tion men of lofty thought, of great saga city, of purity and unselfishness of pur pose—men who do not regard Chris tianity as a mere abstraction, but as an element which shall enter into and gov ern society in the discharge of its polit ical, commercial and domestic duties, and it is because we recognize in you these great qualities, as well as "the love we bear you, that we welcome you home. Permit me also to say that we see by the public press that you have captured a steamship of theCunard line, but as there is little seacoast tributary to your diocese we fear that a seagoing vessel would not always furnish you with appropriate means* of transit; we have therefore taken the liberty of pro viding you with the carriage and horses that stand at the door, and we also beg you to accept the further trifling testi monial that I now hand you." BISHOP IRELAND RESPONDED. "I can ill-express my gratitude for the sentiments you have expressed this morning on my arrival home. While traveling abroad during the past months my heart has always turned towards my home in St. Paul."" The bishop said that though he felt that too flattering hopes were entertained as to his powers of ac complishment in the field of his life work, yet he assured his friends that he would do all he could in building up the great Christain commonwealth mentioned in the address of welcome. Great reliance must be placed in tlie support and good wishes of the people. These he felt sure he will have in full measure. His most hearty thanks were due his friends for their cordial greeting and valuable presents. Subsequently the bishop celebrated mass privately in the church, and spent the remainder of the day receiving con gratulatory callers at his resident. Among the latter was a representative of the Glore, and the good father, wear ing the purple beretta. a long black gown elapsed with red buttons, and the gold chain befitting his rank as a church dignitary, gave him a most cordial greeting. "Really, I am hardly in a condition for an interview." said Bishop Ireland, "but ■ 1 appreciate the energy of the press, and especially of the Globe, about which 1 have heard nothing but compliments since mv re turn abroad. While in New York 1 had a splendid illustration of press enter prise and ingenuity, for although I de clined to talk to reporters THEY printed interviews with me all the same. Naturally lam glad to be back in St. Paul again, and, as you can see for yourself. I am enjoy ing excellent health, in fact, 1 never felt better in my life. There are sev eral things I can shortly tell the good Eeople of St. Paul that will interest em, but the .time is too limited at my j THE GLOBE : NEWSY A PAPER FOR BUSY PEOPLE.

The brougham and team presented to the bishop cost up wards of $:*,000," and" wero purchased by a number/.: of' the leading men of St. Paul, who desired in this way to show ..their. 1 appreciation of the Pope's' representa tive here. In addition to the team a handsome purse was also subscribed and presented to the bishop privately, I but as no one seemed anxious to state the amount, that must remain a 7 secret. One of the proudest men in the city was' Mr. David Burke after his return from the bishop's residence, and his stables' were thronged all day with curious sight seers who wanted to inspect the; horses ami brougham, the latter being, one of the handsomest equipages ever, brought to St. Paul. It is dark green; in color' with a delicate cardinal; stripe on the running gear, and the mountings: are in silver and bevel edged . plate glass. Inside the cushions- and uphol storing are of dark green morocco and satin and a comfortable rest for the bishop is conspicuous in the bottom of the '.chicle just behind the coachman's" scat. The cost of the brougham at the - manufactory in Boston was $1,000 and the pair of black horses that will-be* attached to it cost $I,ooo more. " '.. ■". -'"" ■-" Bishop Ireland was at home when a- Globe representative called upon him last evening to request an opinion as to' the status of Father McGlynn at Rome: and what success had crowned his' ef forts in his behalf. "For obvious reasons." said the bishop "I cannot say anything about the case of Dr. McGlynn; for bins not in my bailiwick. - -.-. -\ .Sy V A REALISTIC KISS. ! — - ».<*..-*: Charles Coghlan and Mrs. Dang-; try's Successes at Osculation. v7_ Special to the Globe. New York, May 14.— There is notic ing more talked about in town than the* kissing of Charles Coghlan and Mrs? Langtry In "Lady Clam-arty."' It is so deliberate, so utterly oblivious of the* big fiddle, so unconscious of the base drum, that it lias all the meaning _ audi earnestness of a kiss in private life. It. is not an exhibition kiss by any manner; of means. The rapturous kissing tharj Emma Abbott used to bestow on Castle never stirred a hair on Husband sfWeti ere.l's head, nor disturbed a man in the) audience. The kissing of Mary Ander-^ son was the most transparent ir.ake-be-j lieve in the world. When Clara Morris* used to kiss Charley Thome in^ "Camille" she would take him on herj knees before her. muss his hair and de vour him with loving looks, dip dowg upon his face and kiss hint : liugeringly on his nose, ' to his - in j tense amusement. When Rignold wa_*» in the country be awoke the town kissi, Ing Susan when he played William.** The women in the audience used to ad-*; mire, but Susan suffered. Rlgnpkl was" a wiry, red-bearded man, who eh'avedi twice* a week and no of tenor, He would! powder the stubble on his face till bis*< complexion was lovely, but poor SusanS A section of sandpaper could have hurt 1 no worse. When he got home from in. the play and met Susan, she - would' "fly into his arms very much (after.the. previous experience) as the victim who; was sentenced to the Inquisition to un-i dergo the virgin's kiss— knowing ;shei had to and was going to get hurt. # He* would hold that poor girl's head 'back,; make a rush, kiss both eyes, root a see-: oiid under her off ear, and then kiss her straight on the mouth, and all the while this adjacent field of cluck and mound, of chin were taking off her cuticle like a. nutmeg grater. But this business of Coghlan's is realistic. He - is ; a serious-faced man of intensity. There are no little nippy-flirty airs or graces about him. All that a kiss can mean or convey is given when he : stoops over the handsome Langtry: who has half fainted, and, taking in the- de licious opportunity, makes the most of it. The remarks it elicits are funny. The other night as the lingering, real' kiss in all its warmth was pressed upon the upturned mouth of the famous Lily, a lady said, with a sigh: "What a pity it's hi a play."' "I'm sorry we're, all here," said another. But in the orches tra an old fellow who looked through' a pair of glasses, and over a lot of grey chin whiskers, just as Horace Grcely? used to do, slapped his leg with a big, freckled hand and ejaculated : "Whew!'* Everybody who heard him laughed, al most as much as they did another night 1 when a small boy. half over the gallery rail, unable to contain himself, cried' just as Coghlan's lips met Langtry's: •Let her go, Gallagher." WILLIE SPRAGUE. v/J A Young Man Who. Made an Un fortunate Marriage. Newport, R. 1.. May 14.— is stated. on excellent authority that Willie* Sprague. son of Ex-Gov. Sprague, and- J grandson of the late Chief ' Justice* Chase, is to sue for divorce. It will be remembered that he married bis step mother's sister. The ground upon which the petition will be based is that Willie, who was a mere boy "at the time of his marriage, was not a free agent. Papers will be filed at the next: term of the supreme court. Willie re mained with his father when Mi*. Kayt Chase Sprague left Canonchet, and since his mother's divorce he has invariably taken sides with his father. Everyone' knows Will Sprague, who led the van in the great battle at Canonchet in the days of the Chaffee-Sprague war. His en counter with Bob Thompson down at Narragansett pier made him popular, and ever since he has been looked on as a remarkably promising young fellow. - mam > : ' Killed His Son. Washington, Ind., May 14.— The saddest tragedy that ever happened in Davis county occurred last night. It was the accidental shooting by William A. Sanford of his sou Hamlet, aged lis years. They were spending the night in a house on Mr. Sanford's farm, near the city, and the boy, in a somnam bulistic' spell, got up and went out into the yard. The father woke up and be lieving burglars, who had frequently.' troubled him before, were in the yard; went to open the door, when he saw, but did not recognize, his boy. Asking three times who was there and getting no answer save "Come on, Dick,?' ad-. dressed by the boy to his dog, under stood by the father as a call to an 5 accomplice, he fired, killing the boy in stantly. ■_. .-7 .
