SUCCESSFUL AS USUAL.
St. Patrick’s Day Fittingly Observed in Emmetsburg.
FINE PROGRAM AT MUSIC HALL.
Father Vaughan Extols Irish as a Missionary People.
The St. Patrick’s day exercises were among the most pleasing and successful ever witnessed in this city. The day was mild and pleasant and there were a large number of visitors from the surrounding country and neighboring towns. On every hand could be seen the bright, verdant colors so long famed in story and song, oft trampled under the heels of the tyrant, but expressive still of the hopes and the aspirations of a country whose long night of bondage seems rapidly waning.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians had charge of the day’s program.
The members of the local division met at their hall at 9:30 and donning
their bright regalia, marched to Assumption church where high mass was
celebrated by Very Rev. J.J. Smith,. Special music had been prepared for the
occasion. The sacred edifice was filled with those whose alm was to observe
the day in a befitting manner. The sermon, by Father Vaughan, the noted
Wisconsin lecturer, was one that will ever be remembered by the many who had
the good fortune to be present. He spoke of the mission of the Irish race.
Other nations had attained wealth and power, but the Irish were distinctly a
missionary people. Clinging to the faith preached to them by
St. Patrick, their land in a short time, became noted for its saints
and scholars, who went forth to rekindle the fires of civilizations
throughout
Having had sufficient time for preparation, as he did not intend coming to Emmetsburg until a day or two before the 17th.
At noon and in the evening the Catholic ladies served meals at the Armory. They were generously patronized and they made it pleasant for their many patrons. Several appropriate selections were rendered on the piano by a number of Emmetsburg’s best players during the noon and evening hours. The total receipts for the meals amounted to $144 and the net to about $120. The sum will be placed in the St. Mary academy fund.
Richard Quinn’s interesting and most amusing comedy, “Abbey
Desmond,” was presented at Music hall during the afternoon and evening by
local talent, under the direction of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Mr.
Quinn is the author of “Innisfall,” the best Irish drama ever written.
He generously donated the division the use of “Abbey Desmond” which had
never before been rendered except once to a
The cast was well selected. Will McNally made a typical “Larry Donoghue.” He is unusually good for an amateur. James Neary personated most creditably the heroic exacting character of “Redmond O’Donnell.” As “Mr. O’Dwyer,” the hot tempered though humane and just father, P.H. Hand could not well have been surpassed. “McGillicuddy,” the enterprising Irish editor, found a very clever interpreter in P.H. Donlon, who always does well on such occasions. Willie Hefley took the part of the villain, “Corkerrry Clare” and it is needless to say that his rendition of his difficult assignment was faultless. He was cool, deliberate and painstaking as villains usually are. As “Keough Boher” the under villain, M.E. Conlon kept the house in an uproar. His personation was truly realistic. A professional could not have done better. He also pleased the audience with a couple of real Irish jigs. Mike will be heard from again on the stage.
The part of “Lady O’Dwyer” was assigned to Miss Mamie Bigley. Her rendition was above criticism, as was also that of the character of “Elly Mallory,” by Miss Mayme O’Connor. Both did exceedingly well. The latter favored the audience with a vocal solo and was enthusiastically encored. Miss Kittie Wells had the star character of “Lilly O’Dwyer.” She was elegantly costumed and did all that a pleasing and effective personation of her part required. Who did not laugh at Miss Lil Patton as “Nancy Keough?” She proved herself equal to many who have had years of experience. She had charge of he rehearsals and to her the local division of the A.O.H. is deeply indebted for the success of the evening program.
The Harmonia orchestra played several selections during the evening.
Miss Kerwick presided at the play and rendered a number of appropriate Irish
airs. S.P. Fitzgerald sang “I dreamed Dear Old Ireland was Free.” He was
called to the footlights again and favored the audience with “O’Donnell
Aboo.” He has a rich, silvery voice and he is a very pleasing singer. T.H.
Wells played the “Blue Bells of Scotland” with variations and also the
“Wearing of the Green,” on the clarinet. It is needless to say he did
splendid.
The total receipts for the afternoon and evening were $188.

THE DEMOCRATS WINNERS
Elect Mayor and Treasurer. Republicans Get Assessor.
Emmetsburg seems to be democratic, although the republicans are inclined to think that they have still a majority of the voters in the city.
Monday’s contest was quite animated and a large vote was polled, though the best of feeling prevailed. The chief contests were for mayor, treasurer and alderman in the second ward. Mr. Stuehmer ,who has always been a very successful vote-getter, proved popular in the north two wards, which are mostly republican, and won by a majority of 42. There was considerable of a bank fight for treasurer. Both candidates are strong and capable, but Dr. Powers won by a 19 majority. Mr. Wells ran exceedingly well in the south two wards ,but the north wards had too big a republican vote to overcome and Mr. Morris was elected assessor by 31 majority.
There was a large vote polled in the second ward to the result of the warm fight for alderman, though everything passed off peacefully and pleasantly. Mr. Troyer received a majority of 22 over Mr. Black.
The following is the result by wards:

FOR ASSESSOR
Frank Morris-First 103, second 116, third 45, fourth 33, total 297. Majority 31.
P.R. Wells-First 33, second 43, third 99, fourth 91, total 266.
W.H. Morling, who had no opposition for city attorney, received 108 votes in the first ward, 117 in the second, 53 in the third and 34 in the fourth: total, 312.
For Alderman E.H. Soper received 108 votes for the first ward, W.I.
Brannagan 107 in the third, and John Dooley 97 in the fourth. There were no
opposing candidates against any of them. In the second there was a spirited
contest between W.J. Black, the republican nominee and A.E. Troyer, who,
though a republican, ran as an independent candidate. Mr. Black received 66
and Mr. Troyer 88, making a majority of 22 for the latter.
