GUARDIANS OF THE BIRDS. Proceeding: of the Indiana Audubon Society. Tho second annual meeting of the Indiana Audubon, Society was held yesterday in the Agricultural rooms of the Statehouse and three sessions were held. Resolutions and a memorial In memory of Mrs. Minnie Cohu McBride, late press secretary, were adopted. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, K. W. McBrlde; vice presidents, Stanley Coulter, T. J. Charlton. Mrs. E. E. Olcott and Sirs. Fannie V. Taylor; recording secretary, George S. Cottman; corresponding secretary, Amos "W. Butler; press secretary, Mrs. Julia Conklin; treasurer, Sylvester Johnson; execuUve committee, TV. S. Blatchley, William Watson Woollen and Mrs. Martha N. McKay. Tho morning session was opened by the annual address of President McBride, on The Birds of tho Indiana Lake Region," In which he reviewed the plant and animal life of Steuben and De Kalb counties and told of trips in that section of the State. Mr. C. E. Xewlln talked In favor of permitting boys to kill birds for scientific purposes, but this view was combated by several of those pre?ent. No resolution was adopted on the subject. "Birds In Literature" was the title of a paper by Mrs. Fannie Taylor, la which she told of the birds mentioned In the Bible and other books. Mr. F. A. Cotton read a paper on "Bird Day in the Indiana Schools," in which he held that the lropens!ty of the average small boy for killing birds could be overcome by proper training. Tho paper was discussed at some length. "Birds and Forests; the Necessity of One to the Other," was the title of the last formal paper read during the morning, anu It was by J. I Brown, of Connr raville. A letter was road from Max Maunts on "Tho Value of the Bird to tho Farmer." The afternoon session was marked by a ppirited discussion of the address of State Superintendent F. I. Jones, on 'The Future f Bird Day in tho Schools." Mr. Jones was cot In favor of a special day being set aside for this purpose, aj he is of the opinion that there are too many special days as It now is. Ho expressed himself as U ing in favor of Inculcating a love for birds in the children through tho ordinary studies of the school, and not to mako it a special study or pet aside a day for it. This aroused much discussion, as one of the objects of the society is to have such a day observed. After the discussion had been somewhat prolonged a committee was appointed to confer with Mr. Jones and see what arrangements can pe maue. utner papers durlncr tho aft cott. Lee O.

Experienced Ofllccra to lie lcd In Thin Service. The Park Board held a meeting yesterday morning, at which little of Importance was done. The principal thing which came up was the recommendation of Superintendent J. Clyde Tower, that tre board employ resular policemen to do duty in the parks this year, instead of depending upon special policemen. Superintendent Tower claimed that to properly look after the parks and tho crowds which visited them during the summer season, required th-j services of the most efficient policemen the city had on Its pay roll. Tho work. In his opinion, required tho exercise of great Judgment and tact, lind thtf qualities, had Nrn found lacking In th averajc sixoial wllmnii. lie recommended that the Board of Safety ho asked to place at the. disposal of the Bark Board a sufficient number of old. experienced policemen to look after the parks properly and allow the Park Board to pay their salaries out of the rark funds. The reeommendtion was concurred In and the formal request will be sent to the Board of Safety at onee. The parks require the cervices of iolle-men about ttve months In each year. The toard also arranged for the 1 urchae of about $100 worth of swing tor tfce usu of children in tho parks.

A-WEARING 0' THE GREEN

THOUSANDS IICU'KD ODCIlVK THE day dedicated to sr. Patrick. Speeches, at Toiullnnon Hnll and at the Banquet Given. Last Night. Thousands of Indianapolis' people wore the green yesterday in honor of St. Patrick's day. The occasion was celebrated with the usual street parade and subsequent exercises at Tomlinson Hall, where speeches wtro mado and fervent words jpoken in memory of Ireland's patron saint. Of late years there has been a rort of superstition about St. Patrick's day that It usually brings all kinds of weather, but yesterday the skies wero propitious and there was neither rain nor snow. It was fair all day, and in the afternoon the sun smiled on the plumes and bright uniforms of tho marchers. All day in the streets green was the predominant color. In tho afternoon, when the people came down town to view the parade, there were few who did not wear this color in some form. It adorned coats and jackets and occasionally a woman would be seen with a dress of green or a hat decorated with it. Many of the men in the parade wore green neckties. Green could be seen In the shop windows and one enterprising confectioner displayed a plate of preen candy in his window. By 2 o'clock In tho afternoon tho principal downtown streets wero thronged with people waiting for the parade to start. The procession was scheduled to move from Capitol avenue and Washington street promptly at 2 o'clock, but there was the usual delay and it was nearly 3 o'clock before word was given to start. In tho procession were several bands and they discoursed patriotic Irish and American airs as they moved through the streets. Michael E. Laughlin was grand marshal of the parade and he and his staff were mounted. John J. Blackwell and John M. Hlggins wero chief aids to the grand marshal. The entire staff included about forty men. The procession was led by a platoon cf police In command of Captain Dawson. John IT. Mahoney was marshal of the first division, Thomas Fox had charge of the second division, and William Flynn was marshal of tho third. Mayor Taggart occupied one of the carriages with John W. O'Hara, of Peru, state president of the A. O. H., and Rev. Father M. J. Byrne, of Fort Wayne. Other members of the Catholic clergy from this and other cities occupied carriages together with the Friendly Sons cf St. Patrick. One of the largest organizations in tho parade was the Ancient Order of Hibernians. This society had done much work for the success of the day's celebration and the members turned out in large numbers. Among the other organizations were the Hibernian Rifles. Captain W. J. Walsh: Boys of Father Mathew Brigade, Capt. P. J. Kelleher, and the Knights of St. John. The Ladies Auxiliary A. O. H. and the Y. M. I. Council were also represented in carriages. One of tho societies which attracted much attention as the procession passed along was the boys' brigade under command of Capt. Kelleher. The youths wore the regulation soldiers' uniform and carried muskets. They marched with great precision and showed the careful drilling that Captain Kelleher has given them. The parade moved west od Washington street from Capitol avenue to Blackford street, countermarching on Washington street to Capitol avenue, south on Capitol avenue to Maryland street, east on Maryland street to Illinois street, north on Illinois street to Washington street, east on Washington street to New Jersey street, countermarching on Washington street west to Alabama street, north on Alabama street to Market street, west on Market street to Tomlinson Hall. Here the procession disbanded and most of the marchers passed into the hall. The exercises were listened to by a large audience. While the hall was filling up the bands played the "Wearing of the Green" and other airs that stirred the patriotism of many a true Irish heart. On the stage sat. prominent Irish citizens and visitors from other cities. Many members of the Catholic clergy of the city were on the stago. When Captain Kelleher's boys marched to the stage they were given tho first row of chairs. Grand Marshal Lauerhlln opened the exercises by Introducing Mayor Taggart, who in turn introduced J. H. Mahoney as the chairman of the afternoon. In hi3 brief remarks Mayor Taggart said it gave him pleasure to welcome the audience. Everybody, he said, knew what an Irishman's welcome wa. He believed that in every Irish home In tho city the door was open to the visitors who had come to the city to take part in the exercises of the day. The mayor hoped that by another year the heel and hand of tyranny would removed from old Ireland. Chairman Mahoney introduced Rev. Father Byrne, of Fort Wayne, the orator of the daJ FATHER BYRNE'S ADDRESS. Rev. Father Byrne spoke of the significance of the day and of the love which every Irish heart has for the memory of those heroes who have fought for Ireland. But they also love America and the American flag. The speaker said that if it became necessary for him to turn and fight against the fatherland he would do it for old Columbia. He stood ready to raise his hand against any country in defense of the gallant stars and stripes. He believed that St. Patrick's day is the greatest day In the history of men. Tho Irish, he said, never forget their heroes. He recalled that on Feb. 12 last, according to the daily press, but five cities In the country celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Washington to any extent. St. Patrick's memory, the speaker declared, is as green to-day us it was in the days of Ireland's greatness. "The Irish race," ha continued, "has been an imperial race. When the Irish race clings together with united purpose there will never be an enemy that will drive it to retreat or compel it to surrender. In 1S13 Daniel O'Connell said that all Irishmen should beware of disunion. They should remember that disunion and separation of opinion has caused tho ruin more than once of the Irish cause. I need not to-day tell Irishmen of their heroes. They know them and they love to call their names. England has never been able to snatch from the hearts of Irishmen the inseribed words of St. Patrick, 'that you may never give up your faith.' One reason why Irishmen are not more united is because they don't know enough of their long line of descendants. If you only knew it, fellow-men, you are the lawful descendants of kings and queens. The reason an Irishman cannot be conquered is because he is a kingdom in himself. It is a proud and beautiful moment to an Irishman when he can say, i have lived another anniversary of dear old St. Patrick.' "There are Irishmen under every sun. The press tell us that they are in China controlling tho police forces of all the great cities. Wo are proud of the men that were with Hobson in his hour of need Murphy and Kelly. We do not hear of their being rewarded for anything. We hear of Hobson being kissed and promoted, but not Murphy and Kelly. But in the hearts of Irishmen their names are inscribed. Oh, my dearly beloved countrymen. I appeal to von that It is your duty to stick together until the last dying ember will fade on the great horizon of your lives. You have not yet fully realized what a power you may be for good. 1 think you need leaders and when they call you don't fall to obey. Daniel O'Connell speaking for the liberty of Ireland Is still alive in the minds of his people. England seeks the destruction of the Celtic race by destroying her colleges and by wiping out her language, but the Ancient Order of Hibernians. God blesns them, have erected a chair in Washington. In our own Catholic University, to teach the Irh-h language. We will continue to defy England and set her back in the niche that history has already provided for her, because the robber, the murderer and the thb-f must some day get hi.- Just due." The. remarks cf Father Byrne were frequently interrupted by applause and his words in defense of Ireland were enthusiastically received. In different parts of the audience men would cry out "yts" or "no" in response to ronw question asked by th- orator. John w. O'Hara, cf rem. state president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, followed Father Byrne in a stirring talk on Ireland's Interests and her attitude toward England. The Irishmen of tho country, he said, would never bo in favor of an alliance between America and England. He said that the lri.-hrm.-n celebrated St. Patrick's dny be -a us-. Si. Patrick brought to the people of Ire: ml the -sweet religion of Christ. The faith of St. Patrick in the hearts of Ireland's l'l'if- is an abiding faith. Not only have ihf Irih a dt r faith In the sweet religion of the mother church, but they love liberty. The shaker said the ttory of Ireland's wrongs have been often told; the story is an old one, but it is an interesting and fascinating one. No people have ever suffered llko tho Irish people, yet they have retained

their nationality during all these years of cruel torture. The laws made to kill the religion of the Irish race have been of the most cruel character, yet the religion of St. Patrick has lived through this bitter oppression. The Irish people have never forgotten the land of their forefathers; they have not forgotten, and never will forget. England's cruel treatment. Never, said the speaker, have the people of Ireland been so strong as they are to-day. Home rule, he declared, is within the-ir easy grasp if they are only true to themselves and will stand toe-ther. At the conclusion of Mr. O'Hara's talk the chairman dismissed the audience. It was expected that other speakers wouM take part, but as the afternoon was far spent it was thought best not to prolong the exercises.

SOS OF ST. PATRICK I! AX Q LET. Senator Fulrhanka Amonw Those Who Responded to ToaM. Tho Friendly Sons of SL Patrick celebrated the day with a brilliant banquet at the Grand Hotel last evening. The parlors, lobby, halls and dining room were profusely decorated with plants, cut flowers and palms. At the rear end of the dining room was a large electric arch with the words "Cacd mllle failthe," or "A hundred thousand welcomes." in red, white and blue globes. Back of thl3 arch wero American flags draped. An Informal reception from 8 to 9 preceded the banquet, and at 9:13 the door3 were thrown open and President Sweeney, escorting Senator Fairbanks, led tho way into tho room. Three tables extended the entire length of the room, while at the upper end was the table for the presiding officer and the speakers of the evening. President Sweeney occupied the middle seat at this table, and on his right were Senator Fairbanks. Judge Hefron, Senator Shea and Mayor Taggart. On his left were Governor Mount, D. O'Doherty, of Louisville. Rt. Rev. Augustus Bessonlcs and Rev. Joseph Chartrand. While the five-course banquet was being discussed an orchestra rendered a concert of lrLh and American airs. Tho patriotic American airs were greeted with great applause and the banqueters Joined heartily in singing nearly all these tunes. At 11:15 President Sweeney rose and called the banqueters to order. In a brief and witty spee:h he Introduced Very Rev. Denis O'Dona'hue to respond to the toast. "Tho Day We Celebrate. It was expected that Archbishop Corr, of Melbourne, Australia, would respond to this toast, but he has been detained on his voyage across the Pacific and at the last moment Father O'Donaghuo vas pressed into t-ervlce, although another toast had been assigned to him. His response was both witty and eloquent. He paid a high tribute to St. Patrick, and said there is no other figure in history which will compare with him in the good ho has ilcne for God and man. He referred to the achievements of the Irish in the face of great discouragements and the attempts that hava been made to wipe them out of existence. President Sweeney referred to the fact that George Washington was a member of this order "and said that this, tho century of his birth, has beer, but little noticed, while that of St. Patrick has been kept for 1,4'ju years. He presented as the next speaker. Rev. Joseph Chartrand,. who responded to the toast, "Ieo XIII." He paid a high tribute to the Pope in his love for education. In his study and position on the social question and in his attitude and faith in the United States. GOVERNOR'S SPEECH. Governor Mount, the next speaker, was enthusiastically greeted and, after the applause had ceased, spoke as follows on "The State of Indiana;" "Webster, In his masterful reply to Hayne, of South Carolina, said of Massachusetts: 'She needs no encomium; there she is behold her, and judge for yourself.' So. Indiana needs no eulogy from me to-night. She stands forth resplendent in her own glory; look upon and admire her. In abundant measure she possesses the elements of truo greatness. In area the smallest of the States admitted to the Union since the formation of the government, yet in productive wealth one of the foremost. In live stock husbandry, in luxuriant pasturage, richness of soil, variety and yield of crops, she is surpassed by none. In location Indiana is highly favored, the center of population being within her borders. The great trunk lines of railroads connecting Fast and West pass through the State, thus affording quick transit for passengers and freight. Telephone and telegraph lines form a network throughout the State. The percentage of increase in manufactured products in Indiana during tho past ten years excela that of any other State. Gas, oil, coal, stone, timber and valuable clays- give promise of augmented growth in finished articles of commerce. The vast amount of money annually expended for education, the high standard of her schools and acadamie. seminaries, universities, normals and colleges, places our State among the most advanced in knowledge. The home is the unit of government, and Indiana can proudly boast of her happy homes. The true measure of the greatness of a State is not determined by the population of large cities, where wealth and poverty abound. It is not founded upon breadth of area, richness of soil, or mineral wealth, but upon the exalted character of its citizens, upon noble manhood and womanhood. In these elements of true worth. Indiana is unmatched. She 13 Justly proud of her statesmen, diplomats. Jurists, clergymen, her business men. farmers, editors, doctors, educators and her authors. She has more politics, per capita, than any other State in the Union. As a pivotal State Indiana becomes the storm center of national campaigns. She can call from the farm to the forum, from the shop to the platform, as able orators as any that enter the arena of political discussion. What a scene Indiana recently presented after the fiercelywaged battle of the campaign had ended and the giants of the platform and quill, leaders of the contending forces, the eloquent Bevcrldgo and the witty Kern, the diplomat and journalist, Morss and New, took tho lead, side by side, in a 'love feast, called in honor of the victors. The gracious manner in which the vanquished accept defeat and the freedom of the victors from a spirit of exultation are most commendable. "Indiana has set the seal of her admiration upon the heroism of her 200,0 brave men who won luster on a thousand battlefields by building to their memory the most splendid memorial ever dedicated to valor. Indiana's citizens are chivalrous as well as heroic, magnanimous as well as brave. Indiana is the rirst State to vote, through her "Legislature, to return a battleflag captured bv her soldiers in the civil war. This generous act was in full accord with the spirit of the times. The brave Texans from whom this banner was taken will henceforth fight with renewed pride under the glorious" standard of our common country. The return of the battleflag of the Terry Texas Rangers will do much to bind these indestructible States into an indissoluble union. Brave, loyal, generous, noble Indiana behold her. clad In the beauty of her own transcendent worth." OVATION TO MR. FAIRBANKS. The undoubted ovation of the evening was that accorded Senator Fairbanks, who responded to the -sentiment. "Our Country." Senator Fairbanks was kept standing for some moments while the applause continued. His response was brief and full of patriotism. He spoke of the country, of its being no sovereign's country, but that of the whole people. There are no German-Americans, English-Americans, Italian-Americans or Irish -Americans, but all are Americans, said he, and the applause nearly took the roof off. Ho spoke of the patriotism of the Irish and the manner in which thev have stood bv the country In every emergency, and how the names of Irishmen will be found high on the roll of the country in every crisis. Ills address caused the most intense enthusiasm, and at Its cloe the ovation with which ho was greeted was excelled, if possible. "Our City" was responded to by Mayor Taggart in one of his happy addresses, that caused him to meet with a warm reception. D. O'Doherty. of Iuisville. responded to tho toast. "Irish Patriotism," and his speech I was one of the most eloquent of the evening. Judge David J. Hefron toasted "The Judiciary." and Senator Joseph fchea. or Scottsburg. gracefully remembered "The Ladles." The menu was one of the most original that has ever been issued and was the personal idea of Mayor Taggart Each page was devoted to a separate subject, officers, musical programme, menu, toasts and members and their guests. Along the side was an index to each item and the page3 were tied together with green ribbon and the red. white and blue.

Calhoun, who was President McKinley's special representative in Cuba, w as the principal speaker, responeling to the toast "The Hope of tho Republic." The address of Alexander Sullivan on an unusual therre, "The Intertwined Literatures of the United States. Germany and Ireland," attracted special attention. Other speakers were Hon. George R. Peck, general counsel of the CThicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway; Father Maurice J. Dorney and Mayor Carter If. Harrison. Gen. Michael V. foherldan and staff were guests of honor. LANDLORD AND GAS. Thla Tenant Seca?l n. Jndgment lor SjUO. Instead of bringing suit against the gas company for not furnishing her enough fuel during the February cold weather, Mrs. Ellzabethe Lynch brought suit against the owner of the house, and a Jury in 'Squire Smock's court gave her $3) damages. The defendant was John Jones. In Mrs. Lynch s complaint she set out that she paid Jones $13 rent in advance and when the cold weather came on the gas not only went down but what little there was had no opportunity to give its mite of heat because the Hues were choked up. The family caught cold, she said, doctor and medicine bills ran up, the house plants froze and finally she had to rent ar other house and buy wood, coal anil coke. She asked $12tH) damages. In his plea to the jury her attorney used his eloquence to elescribo the family's suffering, not only from the cold, but from the smothering, eye-burning smoke of wood, coal and coke. The defendant's attorney said tho gas company should have been made defendant. HOLD-UP AT UNION STATION. Two Tramps Turned Highwaymen Early In the Evening. A hold-up occurred last night In the midst of the activity about tho Union Station. It was about S:30 o'clock, when George Miller, James O'Connor and another young man stepped out of the north mouth of the tunnel and were accosted by two tramps. One of them asked for a dime. O'Connor said, jokingly, "I'm in that business myself. Get on the other side of tho street." W'hereat the tramp struck him In the face. The ether tramp drew a revolver and thrust It under Miller's nose, commanding him to throw up his hands. The three men were game and a fight which called a crowd around them began. Patrolmen Jordan and Crannon wero attracted by the noise and ran to the place. The tramps broke away and ran. One of them escaped and the other, fighting his way through the crowd, ran two squares through alleys before the patrolmen captured him. The tramp gave the name of George Landers, of Terre Haute. ELECTRIC-LIGHT FRANCHISE. Mr. Mahoney'n Objection Because Rates Are "Not !Yamcd. The Council's committee on contracts and franchises met last night to consider the franchise of the Chenoweth Light and Power Cempany. President Mahoney objected to it, saying the rates to be charged were not set out. "But the Council has the right to set rates," said W. W. Spencer, attorney for the company. "Yes,", said a member of the committee, "the Council set the rate for gas, but it didn't go, did it?" It was also said that the Council was not given enough power in the matter of governing the company. The committee later went into secret "executive session." Muncie Won at Polo. For the second time the Indianapolis polo team went down before Beeson's Munc'es last night in what was a fine game except during the first inning. About D0 people were in the rink prepared to see the locals beat tho visitors, but the absence of Allen at goal put all chances of that at rest. Wise undertook to take his place, but during the one inning showed that he was out of place. Beeson and Buchanan saw at a glance that there was a weak spot in the local team and improved their opportunity by making four goals in that inning. Wise was then taken out and Hornaday substituted, with the result that not another Muncie goal was score-d. Tho lead was too great to be overcome, however, and although Fisher made a goal for Indianapolis in the second inning, while lying prone on the floor, Manager Relck's men could not overtake their opponents. Buchanan made two of the Muncie goals. Beeson another and Johnson the fourth. It is probable that had Allen been at goal the Indianapolis team would have won. Reception to Rev. Mr. Long. The pastors and members of the different Congregational churches of the city, to the number of C. last night tendered a recep- . tlon to Rev. II. B. Long, the new pastor of tho People's Congregational Church at Blackford and Michigan streets. Rev. Dr. Curtis, the head of the state conference, delivered the address of welcome, saying that the church felt the need of young men in the ministry and prophesying that Mr. Long would do a good work in this city. He was followed by Dr. Hayte, of the Mayflower Church, who reviewed the work done by Mr. Long at Marion, whera he rented the opera house and drew audiences to the capacity of the building to hear him. John Dagllsh, one of the oldest members of the church, welcomed Mr. Long to the church and gave way to the new pastor, who said that he had never wished to go to a place where there was no work to do, and that with the help of nis church he hoped to do some hard work in this city. llrlde of a Week Dle. Mrs. Roberta Hume Hogan, wife of William J. Hogan. of this city, died at the home of her husband's parents, on East Twelfth street between Broadway and Park avenue, Thursday afternoon, just a week from the day on which she was married at her homo in Kahoka. Mo. For some time before her marriage Mrs. Hogan had been ill with 1h grippe, but apparently recovered a'id last Sunday started with her husband for Chicago on her way to this city. Before reaching Chicago she was taken ill and was brought to this city in a serious condition. Four physicians were at once summoned and her parents notified. She continued to grow worse and on Wednesday, ,when her parents reached this city, her life had been despaired of. Her mother was with her to tho last and with her father

and husband accompanied the body to her home, where the funeral will take place Sunday. AN OUNCE OF CHLOROFORM.

The girl's mother was hysterical, and her cries mingled with the sobs of a little girl, the thrill barking of the ret dog and the lower voices of other women of the block who had gathered to watch the physicians bring tho girl back to ccnsclousners. "I don't know what I can do for you." wailed the mother to one of the doctors. "I guess I will buy you an umbrella." The girl's life was saved.

Seven girls, who have been operating chain machines, demanded that their wages be increased from !t to 8 cents an hour, and on the company's refusal to accede to tho demand, the girls walked out.
