unanimously adopted calling to ac
count Congressman Johnson, of Cali
fornia, and Senator Lodge, of Massa

gentlemen recently in congress rellect
tng on the Polish people. The resolu
tion sets forth that Messrs. Johnson
und I.od'.'e are talking without knowing
the facts, or else they would not com
mit themselves na they did. It appears
that both of them made an allusion,
designed to represent the Polish as an
ignorant and lawless people. The
Poles fee! that they should not be held

HALL WAS CROWDED.
The hall was so densely crowded that
there was scarcely room to breathe.
The gallery was packed with women
and children principally, and the first
floor was devoted to the men, but it
was impossible to accommodate over
one-half of them, even though the aisles
were choked up and the doorways and
hallways in the'snme condition.
Slurs and Stripes, patriotic colors,
and Hass and enilili rns of Poland dec
orated the hull. The American colors
were more prominent than those of the
native country, showing that love for
the adopted cutmtry Is foremost In their
breasts, but tlint there is still room for
remembrance of tie land that gave
them or ihelr fathers birth.
Uev. Father Iwanowskl. of Frireburg,
Was chosen us presiding ofllcer. The
Itinggold band gitve a few selections,
and Mr. Madrach, a prominent Polish
citizen of Wil'ies-Bnrre, recited t'.ie con
stitution of Poland, which promulgated
ceiiual liberty to all Its citizens. It cor
responds to our Declaration of Inde
pendence. Poland was the first coun
try in the world to place all her citi
zens, peasant and noble, on equal foot
Imr. This wns done on May II, 1791, but
the Independence' did not last long. She
was subjugated within a year after
ward and has since been In bondage.
Alary Wenthnnd and Elizabeth Kow
alewskn, two little girls, recited "The
Downfall of Poland," the former in
English and the latter In the vernacu
lar. A choir of sweet-voiced little chil
dren sang the Polish anthem of free
dom nnd followed it with the Stur
Spangled Banner. Mr. Snochowskl, or
gunlst at St. Mary's Polish church, ac
companied them.
MR. BARRETT'S ADDRESS.
Hon.'.Tohn K. Barrett was Introduced
and his eloquent add leas was received
with frequent appluiifce. He spoke In
a spirited style und his words were
earnest and forceful. There Is one
langunge, he said, that we nil can un
derstand, and thnt ts the language of
liberty. The Polish people have reason
to be proud of tho celebration which
they hnd arranged in honor of liberty.
Ancient Poland had many red letter
days in her history, but no day Biir
puBsed thnt of May S, 17!1, when her
government promulgated tho constitu
tion of equal liberty to all her peopl?.
She loved democratic rule and her re
sources were so bountiful that gold and
silver and great wealth were in abun
dance. But this great wealth aroused
the cupidity of her: neighbors, nnd it
wns hor undoing. The same country
that today looks With greed upon tiie
country of Paul Kruger fastened then
her avaricious eyes upon Poland, nnd
her overthrow was accomplished with
the assistance of her. neighboring ene
mies, and her proud nobles who were
too proud to stand on equal rights with
the peasantry. v ..'V,
Through all -her history the three
chief attributes of her people have been
love of- country, 'love of religion and
love of literature. Despotism has nev
er been able to destroy these. Mr. Bar
rett paid a noble tribute to- the Polish
people and went over their history; he
said that the services rendered by Kos
ciusko, who fought under Washington
for American Independence, and after
1 ward returned to his native land and
! bled for it. entitle the Polish people to
' the right f coming to this country, pa
I ratling our sreets and celebrating their
i holidays. Everybody In tho hall stood
; up as Mr. Barrett was leaving the plit
' form as a mark of respect for his splen
! did address.
j TWO TABLEAUX.
I There were two fine tableaux r r.sert-
l cd. The llrst was a representation of
the equality of knight, noble, and
; peasant, as promulgated on May 3, 10a
years ugo.The other represented a ee!
esutlon of papal nunslous sent from
Rome by the pope to Importune the
; obdurate King Subieskl to Oislst the
Austrian In a struggle for liberty.
There wi re a number of oth-r literary
and musical numbers given.
Attorney M. A. McGinley' ajdresn
was not given until the exercises were
. nearly over, and on account of the
. length of the programme and the
densely packed hall, which made it very
l uncomfortable. Mr. Mctllnley did not
speak more thnn ten minutes. He put
in condensed form an Interesting und
Instructive history of the Polish na
tion. He was liberally applauded.
Special mention should be made of
the piano selection. "Sparkling Jewels."
by Miss Matilda Smith, daughter of
! John Smith, of Priceburg; a recitation
by Josenh Job, a young boy of St.
Mary's parochial school, and a duet by
two juveniles, Frank Orczyk and
Helena Gabryelewicz.
A pleasant feature was the presenta
tion by Miss Helena Hass, u little girl,
of an original poem to Rev. Father
Aust. which ilus dedicated to him by
the composer, Daniel loingowski, editor
of the Polish paper published on the
South Side.

cently dissolved marital and mercantile

Kishtecn-year-old Thomas Malloy Is
hovering between life and death at the
home of his father. Patrick Malloy. No.
311 Wedt t'u:lion street, as a result of
a literal butchering nt the hands of a
youth of n I rout his own age. James
Hopkins, of i)cx stveet. Sand Banks.
A stub wound of uncertain depth and
SH'rieuifiuss is In bit back, another of u
slighter inn lire is in his side, Just under
the left arm. und on each leg, above the
knee, are long gashes, the one on the
left leg being about a foot in length
and the one on the right leg being
nearly seven Inches. Dr. John O'Mul
ley, who is attending him, says that his
condition is extremely serious.
The stabbing occurred late Saturday
night near the old Vine street station.
Malloy nnd three young friends, all
residents of the Diamond Flats, were
spending the evening together uptown
and about tt o'clock dropped Into Zang's
Hol parlors en the second floor of 207
Wyoming nvenue, where Malloy and
one of his friends engaged In a game
of pool. While they were playing Hop
kins entered and Insisted on taking a
hand tn the gnir.e. .Malloy's partner
objected to n three-handed game nnd
when Hopkins persisted in Joining
them, dropped out.
Malloy, who is a. quiet young fellow,
agreed to Play u game or two with
Hopkins to prevent any hard feeling
being engendered by his companion's
refusal to play, feeling that Hopkins
who was Intoxicated and in an ill
tempered mood, would raise u disturb
ance If utterly ignored.
A DISPCTE AROSE.
The play had not proceeded very far
before a dispute arose over a rule of
tho game, and sooner than have any
trouble Malloy prepared to put up his
cue. This roused the Ire of Hopkins
ar.d he became very abusive, Malloy
warned him to desist, but the warning
had no effect.
After bearlns the Insults for a long
time, Malloy became angered nnd ad
ministered a sound thrashing to his vt
ifler. The proprietor of the place, who
witncssid '.he whole HfTalr. sjuv that
Hopkins was in the wrong and put
him ou: of the place. Malloy nnd his
friends resumed nlny nnd about 10
o'clock started for home.
When they reached the bottom of the
stairs they found Hopkins and three
companions standing in the hallway.
They passed on without saying any
thing or being Interfered with, but
realizing that they would be followed,
fastened towards home, heading down
Vine street, intending to lake the short
cut through the rear of the Sand Banks.
Hopkins and his friends caught up with
them Just as they crossed the tracks
where Vine street ends.
Hopkins had an open knife concealed
behind him and when he came within
reach of Malloy he made a sudden
swing and burled the blade In Malloy's
back. Just to the left of the spine. Mal
loy got In one blow with his list und
sent Hopkins to the ground. He was
up again in an instant and while Malloy
was reeling uboutn semi-consclous-n-v'fs
he Jibbed and ripped at him in the
most vicious Planner.
Malloy's friends, who felt that he
was n match for hjs antagonist, did not
offer t" Interfere, not knowing that
HopkltV was using a knife. When they
did discover that their companion was
being butchered they made a rush for
his assailant, who then desisted, nnd,
protected by his three friends, beat a
safe retreat.
CARRIED TO HIS HOME.
The wounded boy was carried to his
home and a doctor sent for. For some
unfortunate reason no doctor was se
cured until Sunday morning, when Dr.
O'Malley was called. He found the
wounds very serious and that the fail
ure to secure proper attendance sooner
had heightened the danger.
The stab in the back Is the most seri
ous. It is about an inch wide and Just
to the rear of the heart. How far the
blade pentrated cannot be stated. The
ultimate result depends almost entirely
on this. The gashes on the legs give
the most pronounced evidence of the
viclousness of Hopkins. The knife was
o all appearances plunged Into the leg
just above the knee In each Instance
and then drawn upwards. The flesh
was laid open almost to the bone, and
on the left leg the gash extends fully
twelve inches and on the right a little
over half that length.
The cut under the left arm Is very
slight. Last night his condition re
mained unchanged.
A warrant was sworn out for Hop
kins' arrest Sunday nnd given to Chief
Simpson. He failed to get any trace of
him and turned the warrant over to
Lieutenant Spellman, who is now look
ing for him. Pp to a late hour last
night he had not been located. Hop
kins is a newsboy on the Jersey Cen
tral road, and It is believed has tied.
