The Evening Light.
It la Appropriately Observed In San An-
tonio by a Festival in
Meyer’s Hall.
Three Societies Participate in the Pro-
ceedings The Ancient Gentle-
man Not an Irishman.
For centuries it has lieen the custom of the
Irish people to celebrate the day of their patron
Saint Patrick and the 17th day of March is
known as St. Patrick’s day. The details known
of St. Patrick’s life arc few; some assert that
he was a Scotchman others that he was a
-but one thing is quite clear he was
not an Irishman. Of late it bat been generally
accepted as a fact that lie was a Welshman the
principal of a Welsh college who was captured
on the coast of Wales by pirates and by them
taken to Ireland. He was a true Christian and
n learned man and seeing the spiritual igno-
rance of the Irish labored to convert them to
Christianity. He was remarkably successful
became an apostolic bishop and founded many
churches and schools of learning lie died at
the close of the tilth century ami has since been
deservedly held in high estimation by the
Irish people. The story of his driving snakes
from Ireland like many other snake stories is
mythical and is doubtless an allegorical al-
lusion to his power over evil or the serpent
as it is figuratively termed.
From the telegraphic reports it appears that
the day lias been duly observed by tiie Irish in
all parts;of the world. Of course the natives
of Erin in Han Antonio had their celebration.
The Irish Land League and the Irish American
Society combined with the Ancient Order of
Hibernians to give
A JOINT FESTIVAL
in Meyer’s Hall on Saturday night. It was
originally intended that a banquet should tie
given but for some reason this attraction was
omitted from the programme. There was.'
however a liberal supply of wine Inger beer
and cigars and a merrier party could not have
assembled anywhere. The proceedings were for
the most part of a formal character. Justice
Shields President of the Land League occu-
pied the chair. Colonel Bicard O'Sullivan
Burke was the star ol th* evening. Colonel
Burke is one of the Irishmen who uas impris-
ioned in England in 1807 fortreason remaning
in jail until 1873. Heis al) excellent speaker
but lias naturally very vindictive feelings
towards England ami it is feared that his coun-
cils will have a predjudicial effect. upon the
Irish societies. His address was excellently
delivered and was listened to with marked in-
terest. He also sang three songs including a
strong political ballad upon the proposal made
by Messrs. Newdigate and Whalley Members
of the English Parliament to discharge Irish-
men from the Briti-.h army and the celebrated
“ Song of Hatred.” Considerable amusement
was created by the fact that Colonel Burke
was interrupted in his address and two of his
songs by the striking of a clock at the end of
the hall The second time this occured Col-
onel Burke turned to the clock and said
“That’s twice you have interrupted me.”
When the* the third instance occurred the Colo-
nel was silent but thcaudeincc laughed heartily.
During the evening Mr. Jolin H.Copeland Mri
It. C. Robinson Colonel Williams Colone-
Mulcahey Mr. T. F. Brady and Mr. Tom Pig.
gott delivered addresses and Messrs. E. J
Gallagher Patrick Cody John Reynolds.
Quirk Cavanagh Eugene Carlin Cleary Tom
Stevens James Quiim ami Pieasauton contri-
buted to the harmony of the meeting by sing-
ing or reciting. At an early hour the company
adjourned singing en masse God save In-
land and evidently well satisfied with the «uj
in which they bad celebrated the day.
NEWCOMB TAKES CHARGE.
Transfer of the Postottlce A l ist of the
Postmaster Newcomb assumed charge of his
office yesterday. The transfer was conducted
qu’etly and in the presence of but few per-
sons. Mr. Newcomb found the business of
the office in a confused state consequent upon
the imperfect arrangements for receiving and
distributing the mall and occasioned to a
large extent by the alisence of proper facilities
for file work. Mr. Newcomb proposes making
many improvements one of which will lie the
use of two delivery windows so that mail may
be procured more expeditiously than former-
ly. 11 is also understood that better arrange-
ments will be made for the sale of stamps.
Postmaster Newcomb’s chief assistant is
Captain Philip Braubach. For the present tin
registry clerk is W. H. Huston; the stamp
clerk W. H. Paine; the making clerk Grist
Jones; tlie delivery clerk 11. G. Wickes; the
night clerk M. Volks; the superintendent of
let ter curriers Joseph’McArthur. No other
offices are to lie tilled.
When the Postotlico was visited to-day the
business was Iwing conducted quietly and with
celerity.
It is reported that ex-Postmaster Manning
will stay in tliecity. The business he will en-
gage in has not b<-cn mentioned.

At Steinway hall last night Blind Tom intro-
duced by his patient manager Mr. Bethune
gave new prisits of his wonderful imitative
capacity by playing a iiumlier of selections
from classic and modern compositions for the
pianoforte in nsti Ie that would put to shame
many pianists who have the advantage ot sight
and that other sense that tin-poor negro pos-
sesses only in a modified degree. The audience
was large and repeated surprises made it en-
thusiastic.

I Ten Cents a Week.
DELIGHTFUL VISITORS.
Good Mords for Nan Antonio by a St. Loma
Judge.
Judge and Mrs. Noonan of Bt. Louis are
spending the day in this city. They arrived
here last evening and will leave for st. Louis
this evi-ning. During Judge Noonan's ab-
sence the bench of Criminal court over which
be* presides is occupied by ex-Judge Igtughlin
who gained considerable notoriety two years
ago by ruling that a man is Justified in seeking
and killing one who has threatened and he be-
lieves is determined to kill him.
Judge Noonan though but:«) years or so of
age Imsulready attained eminence in his pro-
fc-ssion and his opinions have a weight of
which many older jurists might be proud.
Prior to bis election to the beueli he served two
terms as Assistant Circuit Attorney an impor-
tant position in St. Louis. Every time he has
been a candidate for office he has been elcs-ted
by overwhelming majorities Mr. Noonan
while here visited several friends among
others Juy Minter and Judge Noonan of the
Bexar County District court. Both Mr. Noonan
und his wife were surprised by the- evidence
they witnessed of the rapid growth of tlie city.
“When I quitted St. Louis" said he this
morning “ the streets did not present near Hie
business-like ap|H-aranc-c Sun Antonio streets
now do and I do not think there was as much
traffic- then- as here in proportion to the popu-
iat ion. The advance of the city and t lie Mt ten-
tion it is every where attracting is shown by Hie
crowded condition ot the hotels. I tried vainly
lo secure apartments for Mrs. Noonan and
myself at the Maverick ami the Menger ami
only succeeded after some trouble in getting
avc'ommodiitiou at the Hord.”
" Ami the buildings” said Mrs. Noonan who
unites knowledge of Imsiness with uei-omplish-
ments more common with ladies; “they show
far better than anything else tlie progress the
town is milking. I wish we could stay here
longer and observe more minutely."
ONE .MORE THAN SHAKESPEARE'S.
Three us Like an the Two Ilroiulos and
Others Equally Distiugulsbed.
“ A stupendous aggregation of ext raordinary
talents" as Jack Haverly says in his three-
sheet posters could be seen in the District
court room. There was Judge Noonan with a
puper sticking out of his pocket which some-
one whispered was a copy of Wilke's Spirit of
the Times; ex-Governor Stockdale who wrs
explaining a knotty problem in connection
with San Antonio's "natural advantages;’*
Major Burgess of Seguin listening to Judge
Devine discourse learnedly on the respective
qualities of anti-fat decoctions; Major wselder
ami Walthall and Dittmar; County Judge
Mason diluting on the subject ot oratory ; Jay
Minter telling how one can look steadily in a
man’s face and never catch his eye; Recorder
I'ullaglian with a temperance lecture based on
his experience in the Bat Cave; and Russell
Howard and Governor John Ireland looking
as like as two pears and listening attentively
to u third Dromio Colonel N. G. Green
as he traced the geneology of each of the men
iu the jury box. These last three men have u
very similar appearance. Of that a story.
Colonel Green was examining a witness whose
tenacious memory excited tlie redoubtable
Colonel’s ire. "Sir” said he giving a curl to
his tierce looking mustachius “do you mean
to say you are certain of that?” “Certain."
said the witness leaning liack as if supprised ;
“Certain ; why I’m as certain of that us 1 am
that y ou’re John Ireland."

Something About the Private Life of Mr.

Mr. Herbert Archer who plays Arthur
Carringford (Lord Travers) is a gentleman ot
good birth and education. He is an English-
man and was educated at King's School Can-
terbury graduating at the London University.

not having the nerve or heart suitable for this
profession he retired before taking hisdiploma.
He was always possessed of Bohemian char-
acteristics and took to the operatic stage sev-
eral years ago. About three years since he

Blind Tom gave the Licht a call on Saturday.
He has arranged for the appearance of the
blind semi-idiotic musical prodigy on Thurs-
day Friday and Saturday. He leaves this
evening for Monterey to arrange for Blind
Tom’s.first appearance in Mexico.
Yesterday was like a day in May. The city
was flooded with sunshine. The parks were
visited by hundreds of itersons and many
others drove to the missions and the Govern-
ment depot. This morning a breeze comes
from the north und the temuerature isjust cool
enough to make light overcoats in demand.
A Texas Good Mini Gone Wrong.
From tlie National Republican.
zXnother good man in Texas has gone wrong.
This time it is John L. Haines collector of
customs in Brownsville. Charges of irregu-
Inrities in the administration of his office were
preferred against him by reputable citizens
some time ago and Special Agents Nevins
and Barney of the Treasury department were
sentto Texas to make an investigation. ’They
have returned and on the strengtli of their re-
port the Secretary of the Treasury has asked
Mr. Haines for his resignation. It does not
appear that the Collector is short but that he
was lax in his administration and feiled to
take adequate precaution to prevent smug-
gling. which is said to have been carried on
openly under his veiy nose.
The Pay of Ochiltree and the President
From tin- Times-Democrat.
Washington March 14—Comptroller
Lawrence has not yet made a decision as to
whether or not the salary of Colonel Tom
Ochiltree as Congressman can be withheld
on account of the judgment against him in
he heasury dep nrlni .. nt . h
v Ur S ° n he bood "• »
ing New York custom house officer for sev-
eral hundied dollars which he will perhaps
have to pay. The question is asked if Ochil -
tree s salary can be withheld why cannot the
re-.dent's. The only difference between
the two cases is that there is a judgment
against Ochi'tr-e while as yet thine 1 not
against the President. 1
