DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE

OHHE IRISH

Two Sons of the Old Sod

Fined for Singing Patriotic Airs.

John Love, late of Ballymera, county

Antrim, and Robert Emmet Alexander,

late of Ennisklllen, county femanagh,

sat on a corner In the Hungarian dis

trict the other night singing 'The

Wearing of the Green." The rain was pouring down and their hearts were

heavy with thoughts of the dear old home. Discord, or a false note, mayhap marred the tunefulness of their rendition of the popular ballad of the revolution of '9S, but there was no guile in their hearts. Suddenly the heavy hand of a copper was laid on the shoulder of Love and he was commanded to cease singing and be on his way. "Whazzat?" asked Alexander, who was soberer than his companion. "Gwan home now, and leave off the noise," again commanded the copper. Angered at the preemptorlness of the command and perhaps at the implied fling at the old sod, the men refused. Flrthwith they were thrown into the blue wagon and carted to the police station, and haled before his honor Judge Girten the next morning. When the court heard the testimony, he assessed Love $5 and costs, and Alexander 25 cents and costs. Notwithstanding the South Chicago police station has been called in times

past an Irish club house, it seems that

the Irish are losing their grip. No

body has been fined yet for singing

TO HAVE NEW RESTAURANT.

High Grade Eating riace to be Established In South Chicago. South Chicago will have a high class restaurant and catering establishment the coming season if plans set on foot

yesterday are perfected. A number of

gentlemen from the city, whose names

are withheld, visited South Chicago and

canvassed the field and declared their

intention of establishing a restaurant modeled upon up to date lines in a lo

cation in Commercial avenue not far from the new $80,000 Kohl & Castle vaudeville theater which is to be built soon. There is no question of the need for such a place as that contemplated by the visitors. South Chicago has long suffered for the lack of a high

grade eating place, and visitors to the

town who have been compelled to pat

ronlze restaurants which flourish here have expressed surprise that a suitable

place for refreshment for travelers who had money to spend for good accommo-

f : dations had not been provided long

since.
