Mr. Dolan was chosen president of the IhUrnlans at the convention held in Den.r List June, and his election was reginkd as a great victory for the younger rrur.t in the society. M. J.

"The order of Hibernians was first organized in Ireland In 15iö," said Mr. Dolan in s-'peuklng of the society in which he is ilvfply intt rested, "to protect the lives and property of Catholics. At that time the penal laws put a price on the heads of I ru sts and Catholics were taxed to support a church which they would not attend and punished for failure to attend it. "The order was transplanted to America In K; and it has grown very rapidly until j.-w we have societies In nearly every city and town in the Union.

CAPT. ENGLISH WRITES
HAS ADOLT CONCLUDED A DELIGHT
FUL EUROPEAN TRIP.
With Ills Wife He Will Return to In
diana Early in January The Stork Hovering:.
cjaptain and Mrs. William E. English
will reach Indianapolis, after an absence
of eight months in Europe, early In Jan
uary. The home coming of Captain and
Mrs. English will be an important event
in their larg3 circle of friends, as a re
port has preceded them from the old world
that the stork has made arrangements to
visit them after their return. Their trip
has been fraught with pleasant exper
iences and without any disagreeable Inci
dents, according to the letters received
here from them.
The Paris edition cf the New York Herald
recently contained a dispatch from Naples
telling of the arrival there of the Baron
Nathaniel Rothschild in his yacht, the Veg-
lia, from Trieste. It also noted that among
the guests at Bertolini's Palace Hotel, Na
ples, besides the baron, were Captain and
Mrs. English, Count Goetzen, Governor of
Zanzibar, and his family and others.
In a letter to a friend In Indianapolis, re
ceived yesterday, Mr. English said:
When I last wrote you several months
ago we had just finished various wander-
are ends toward which our order is work- ings in Belgium, Holland and Germany and
ins. We are now deenlv inter.sd In In.
tro.luclnpj th'i teaching of Irish history in parochial schools, and it is but a few years since we endowed a chair of Gaelic lan-j-;.ii;e and literature in the Catholic University at Washington. Harvard and Yale have imt us more than half way by establishing s-imilar chairs, and I understand that ".rnrll is to follow them in a short time. One direct result which we hope to bring :t!out in this way is to do away with the utrageous caricaturing of our race on the
st ige and in cartoons, which has long s-ineo passed the limit of humor and has
lioitie a downright insult. At our Den--r convention a resolution was adopted
which reads: We recommend again to our I'tople the cultivation of a more healthy
public sentiment with regard to stage and
ihwspair caricature of our race. We
must not rest until the buffoon stage Irish
man and prevalent newspaper caricature
be- driven from public view.
"It is a well known fact that our Irish citizens are now and always have been
enthusiastic patrons of the theater. They
recognize in the stage a wonderful edu
ator. when conducted along proper lines.
Th day has long since passed, however.
vvheif hgitirnate comedies are obliged to resort to such extreme buffoonry while portraying a character, and we protest against such insults to our race. We are
proceeding by arousing a public sentiment in our favor and by direct pressure on
the theatrical managers and managers of
opera houses in all parts of the country.
I believe that It will not be long until the baboon-faced monstrosity of the so-called
Irish comedian will be banished from the
stage and from cartoons.
Mr. Dolan is very much in earnest in
this matter and as he talked of it last r.uht his eyes flashed and his voice rang
with true Celtic eloquence and vehemence
He is proud of his race and he referred
to such men as Wolfe, Tone, Robert Km-
n-.tt. Edwin Rourke, Oliver Goldsmith,
J...rd Kdward Fitzgerald, Charles Stewart l'arnell and. in our own land. Iiourke Cock-
ran. John Mitchell and others as true rep r.ientitive Irishmen.
As the hea 1 of the Hibernians Mr. Dolan is a busy man, and even when he is out on
the road looking after his personal affairs b has to carry a secretary with him to assist in handling the mass of correspondnee that n iches him every day. At Syracuse he has an office forte of several assistant secretaries ami stenographers to
look after the society's affairs.
Mr. Io!an is an exceedir gly pleasant man to me t. cordial, magnetic, full of life and vior. and in appearance and personality
1 is th type of the successful young
lrith-Amencan.
Senator from Cnss County.
State Senator J. G. Powell, of LogansX'ort, was in tho city yesterday on his way l ack home from Tennessee, where he has business interests. Senator Powell said
tint (vcrythins was very quiet in Legans
had reached the old cathedral city of Co
logne, the starting point for the sail up
the River Rhine. After making this de
lightful trip we left the boatat Mayence
and then visited successively t rankfort
on-the-Main, Heidelberg, Maunhelm and
Baden-Baden. From Baden's noted water
lng place we turned off to Triberg in the
heart of the Black forest and thence trav
eled through the most magnijicent seen
ery to the falls of the Rhine at Schaff
hausen.
"In Switzerland we visited Zurich, Rigl,
Lucerne, Berne, Interlaken and the famous
Urunenwald glacier. Leaving Switzerland,
we sailed across Lake Constance and
stopped at Lindau on the Bavarian shore,
and later continued on to Munich, the in
teresting capital of the kingdom of Ba
varia. Next we went over the line into
Austria and made a tour through the pic
turesque lyrol, stopping lor a time at both Inusbruck and Batzen.
"From the Tyrol we crossed the frontier
into Italy by way of the Brenner pass
over the Alps, and, taking it slowly and comfortably, made pleasant stays at Ven
ice, Bologna, t lorence. Rome and Naples.
In Naples we experienced the only pleasant weather we saw in Italy, and, as this was my fourth visit, with always the same
damp, chilly, disagreeable weather, I have
finally reached the conclusion that 'sunny
Italy is a fraud, a delusion and a snare.
After pleasant excursions from Naples to
Pompeii, Vesuvius, Capri, Bala, etc.. we
turned our faces northward once more and
after short stops at Rome (again) and Genoa, sought this haven of refuge and rest in the heart of the beautiful Riviera
of south France, where, with all our 'sight
seeing now ended, we shall rest and take it easily until the time approaches for us to sail from Havre to New York. The situation of Nice upon the sheltered waters of the Mediterranean sea, surrounded by spreading groves of orange, lemon, olive and palm trees, is inviting beyond descrip
tion, while Its delightful climate, warmth
and sunshine make It particularly attrac
tive at this season of the year. To the seeker after health, like myself. It is an
especially enjoyable and restful place
while on the other hand, if the visitor is
seeking gayety and excitement, Monte Carlo
is only one-half hour away, and there ITe can find both in large chunks. FEW INDIANAPOLIS PEOPLE. "We have seen but few Indianapolis people during our continental wanderings, but several days ago met Newton Claypool and his family here on their, way into Italy. In Amsterdam, Holland, we also spent some pleasant hours with Mrs. John N. Carey and Mrs. N. A. Gladding, whom we were agreeably surprised to rind upon our arrival were registered at the same hotel. While in Taris last August I called at tho office of Consul General Gowdy and found him as pleasant, kindly and genial as of old and always most happy to greet and welcome a fellow-Hoosier from Indiana.

;md tli it he himself had given little thought Cantaln Gowdy has made an exceptionally
as yet to legislative affairs.
Senator Powell was sheriff of Cass county
vhen he was eledcd senator and he was
"mpeib-d to resign as sheriff as soon as the election returns were in. He thus loses
two months of his term as sheriff to be
uro a member of the Senate and the exh inge is not a profitable one in a financial wav. Howevr. the distinction attached
to the State cilice may be considered sulli-
ci- nt compensation for his loss in salary.
Cass county is normally Democratic. The R publican have succeeded in electing part of their ticket from time to time, but nator Powell says that now the future ir. Cass county Is decidedly more encouragiu and in tim the county may be landed
fclely in the Republican columns.
l!n to Go South for Lnmher.
J. S. Barker, of Warsaw, who is identif I with th G. B. Lesh Manufacturing C-'mpany of that city, was here a few hours yesterday en route home from Florence.
Al i. Mr. Barker's company manufactures
ri'-w and wagon woodstock and it is find-
lrz a shortage of lumber in the vicinity
c: Warsaw. To meet the emergency the om par.y contemplates the erection of a branch "mill in the South, where timber is mure plentiful and Mr. Barker's trip to
Alibama was for the purpose of making
luvest Kations to that end.
Mr. Barker wis greeted In Alabama by a S' (re snow and sleet storm and he said
j. sterdav that he was coming back north
t. pet warmed up again.
Mr. Barker is the father of G. B. Barker,
who has in recent ye.trs attained consider
ate prominence in the L.astern financial w'orld. The son is now at the head of a lirgo bond company In Boston and is a
director m several railroads.
Detroit Lead In Drags.
Detroit leads the world in the manu-
t-rture of drugs." said William McGibben.
cf that city, last evening at the Denison. Mr. McGibben represents the firm of Nel-f-on. Baker & Co., manufacturing chemists, the second largest house of its kind and
tie that has 131 representatives on the
Xoid continually.
"Considerably over Toil men travel out of
Detroit In the drug line, continued Mr.
MrG!bbn. "ami they go to every corner of
the civilized world. The firms they rpre-

cer and is deservedly popular with his
fellow-countrymen abroad. Indiana has
been well and-ably represented in the consul general's office at Paris in recent years, Captain Gowdy having succeeded our own Samuel E. Morss in that position, and it goes without saying that Mr.
Morss left an excellent recorti Deninu mm and is very highly regarded and most pleasantly remembered by the American
colony in Taris. ....

reported by the officers and an explanation made of their prosecution. The report of
President Mitchell will deal with the an
thracite strike and will be long. He will
prepare It after his return to Indianapolis,
The report of the treasurer and Secretary
Wilson will include the reports of the
auditing and executive committees on their
work during the year. In the auditing committee's report and In the treasurer's
statement of receipts and expenditures an
accounting of the great amount of money
spent in the relief of the miners and fam
ilies of the workmen who were out of employment because of the strike in their dis
tricts will be some of the largest figures
ever known in a labor organization financial report.
After the convention of the miners the
joint meeting between the bituminous oper
ators and the miners, which will determine
the scales to be adopted for the coming
year, will be held. This meeting will be attended by a large number of operators.
and Its deliberations and agreements will do much to prevent soft-coal strikes in
the future, It is thought. The work of the arbitration board has shown that ironclad agreements between the operators and
miners, if lived up to by both sides, will
do much to preclude the possibility of great
strikes. The strike recently ended has
demonstrated that a general strike in the
coal fields of the United States can work
untold misery to thousands of people, be
sides crippling the business and Industry
of the country. The joint meeting between
the operators and miners will be called
upon to adjust some delicate questions that have arisen since the inauguration of the big strike.
The representation in the Mine Workers
convention will be based upon one vote to
each 1UÜ members of the union in a local
and one for each majority fraction of a 100 members. No delegate will be permitted to
hold credentials for mre than nve votes.
There are approximately 300.000 members to the union and it is expected that there will be 3,000 votes in the convention. These
votes will be distributed among about 900
delegates.
The referendum vote on nomination for the rational officers will be taken Dec. 15
to SO. The nominations to each office are
made by three locals and after the ac
ceptances of the men have been received,
their names are placed on the ballot. The result of the referendum vote is accepted
by the convention and the elections ratified.
Most of the nominations have already been forwarded to the national headquarters.
but all of the acceptances have not been received. The names will not be made pub
lic until the ballot is ready for print:vu
For the positions of president, secretary and vice president no names have been nominated in opposition to John Mitchell.
W. B. Wilson and W. B. Lewis.
George W. Purcell, of Montgomery, W.
Va.. member of the national executive board of the Mine Workers, was in the city yesterday on business connected with
the - West Virginia bituminous miners.
Purcell is the commissary officer at Mont
gomery and on him the duty of issuing the great amount of supplies and money to the
striking moners there has zaiien. Air.
Purcell left for his station last night.
In speaking of the situation in the soft coal fields Mr. Purcell said that the bitu
minous miners are gradually winning a vic
tory from the operators. Their success has not been as great as the anthracite men
in Pennsylvania yet, but will be, he pre
dicts. Some of the mine operators have acquiesced in the terms of the strikers there and many of the mines have been opened. The others, Mr. Purcell says, will soon fall in line and before the convention, to be held in Indianapolis in January,.
meets, it is hoped that there will be no
difficulties in that region to report.
The members of the auditing board of the United Mine Workers, P. J. Fitzsimmons,
of Scranton. Pa.: John Mossopp, of Cam
bridge, O., and Michael McTaggart, of Barnesboro, Pa., will be busy in lndlanap-r oils for fully two weeks in going over tho
accounts of the national organization.
Their work will be finished in time to report to the convention to be held in January. All of the expenditures in the re
lief fund of the miners will have to be checked and audited. The accounts of tho local, state and national organizations, besides the claims and hundred of other accounts of the union will have to be ad
justed before the report can be tabulated.
The members of the committee are doing
their work in the headquarters in the Stev
enson Building. Senator Fairbanks Gives JflOO.
The canvassers for funds for the Labor Temple are now working on a scheme by which they expect to sell many tickets of
chances on the Irvington home to be raffled for the benefit of the fund. At the Central Labor Union meeting to-morrow night it will be proposed that the secretaries of each labor organization in the city be persuaded by the delegates to the Central Labor Union to accept a stipulated number of tickets, which they will engage themselves to dispose of in their organizations. It is expected that this plan will give a new impetus to the movement, which has been somewhat sluggish during the waging of the anthracite coal strike in Pennsylvania. The committee has not begun to solicit outside subscriptions as yet, but last week received one for $10) from United States Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. ' Carpenters Headquarters. The referendum vote taken on the proposed change in the headquarters of the national organization cf carpenters from Philadelphia to Indianapolis is being counted in Philadelphia. Another week will be needed by the canvassing board before the result can be announced. Officers of the local carpenters' union and labor leaders of the city anticipate the selection of Indianapolis and already a search is being made for suitable office rooms to accommodate the hfadquarters when it moves here. If the change is made It will occur in January. Along with the national headquarters will be the official organ of the carpenters, one of the largest trade journals of the country.

Colored Darbers Union. A. Marmarowsky, secretary and treasurer of the local barbers' union, has bsen delegated by the national officers to organize the colored barbers of Indianapolis. To this end a meeting will be held Thursday night in the Union block, 119 W. Maryland street. There has been much discussion in labor circles over the negro and the barbers' union. Some of the nesTo barbers have given as their reason for not displaying union cards in their shops that they were not wanted in the union. This seems to have been a mistake, as it is said that there has been no attempt to exclude workmen of any color from the union already organized. Drury Chosen Trustee. Harry Drury, of the local Billers Protective Union, was chosen trustee of the national organization at the convention held in Chicago last week. This was the inaugural national meeting and at it a strong organization was perfected. Drury ha3 been prominently identified with the local union of bill posters and Is well known in Indianapolis to the patrons of theaters. Darbers Union Smoker. The members of Barbers' Union No. 247 will give their first smoker and reception Tuesday night at their hall, 1SH South Delaware street. Several prominent members of local unions will address the meeting. An Invitation has been extended to all barbers, whether union men or not to be present.

ORDER RAPIDLY GROWING
LOCAL COISCIL V. T. C. A. HAS FOR-TY-T11REI3 SEW 3IB31DERS.
Initiation Attended by Many Delegates from Other States Social Sesfelon Held.
At the meeting of Indianapolis Council No. 4 of the United Commercial Travelers of North America yesterday afternoon forty.three candidates were initiated. This council Is growing rapidly, its officers say. and has now applications of membership on file which will keep it busy for some time. The council meets on the first and third Saturdays of each month in Pearson's Hall. It is an organization national in character and made up entirely of commercial travelers. It 13 a fraternal organization and the requisite for membership is that a man must be actively engaged in commercial traveling and must have been employed so for a year or more. The organization is similar to other orders of traveling: men, except that it Is a lodge and includes in its benefits social entertainment and an accident insurance. The meeting yesterday was attended by many delegates from other councils in Indiana. Illinois and Ohio. Past Supreme Councilor L. C, Tees, of Columbus, O., and Supreme Secretary C. C. Daniels, of Columbus, were present and addressed the meeting. There are now more than 175 members of the Indianapolis Council and the officer! say that within three months there wlU be a membership of W0. The
officers are: E. Johnson, senior councilor; George Esrabrooke. secretary; G. V. Le Valley, Junior councilor, and John Gardner, junior commander. Last night a social cession was held In Pearson's Hall, on North Delaware street, to which were Invited the friends of the members. A large crowd was present to hear the programme of vocal and Instrumental music. After the entertainment refreshments wore served in the dining room. The music was furnished by Schaeffer's orchestra, a duct on the mandolin and guitar by Stoddard and Coffel, vocal solos by J. E. Tyler. C. YV. Tyler and Espy Bell, and a jcylophone solo by Fred Schaeffer.
One number of the programme was a reci
tation by A. A. Stephenson, entitled "The Traveling Man's Wife." The poem describes the trials of wives of traveling men who wait patiently for their husband's return, their minds always troubled by dreams of railroad wrecks and mangled remains of their loved ones. Mr. Stephenson cpoke with such expression that the pathos
appealed to many women present, some of whom used their handkerchiefs frequent
ly, ine enect or the reading was slightly spoiled when It came out later that Mr. Stephenson was a confirmed bachelor. For tbe Eleanor Hospital.
The lady managers of the Eleanor Hospital desire to raise a Christmas fund for the benefit of the little children of the hos
pital, and they have joined Mrs. Haffner in her cake-baking school at Vonnegut's
hardware store. The ladles and Mrs. Haff
ner will bake and sell cakes for the next
two weeks. Orders for fruit cake will be taken, and fruit and other cakes kept on
hand. It is hoped the ladles will take ad
vantage of Mrs. Haffner's free lessons in the afternoons and join the cake contests.
