In the atmosphere experienced here during the

takes away the desire for wholesome food and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
ticulary those suffering from the effects OF debi-
ting diseases. In order to keep a natural health
full activity of the system must resort to art1f-
cial means. For this purpose schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectua. few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vgor to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener.
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from euch
drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in Its na-
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it is
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
Of the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quanti-
ties indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms
| follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty
Of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.

civilization a tendency to select GER
tain eminent men as types and figures
of great sentiments. We have seen
the world celebrate the centennial of
the ploughman poet, the sweet singer
of Scotland, Robert Burns. We have
seen the German race gather together
to renew the memories of that master
of the human soul, Schiller. We not
long since saw the whole earth cele-
brating the anniversary of thatmight-
lest intellect of the ages, William
Shakespeare. The other day the EN-
peror of Germany unveiled the stat
ne of that old Gothic hero who over
threw the Roman legions in the day
of their glory. A few days ago one
whole land celebrated the birth of
that great and good man who led the
forces of the American colonies
through the war of independence.
Ireland. alas has none Of these tri-
umphant memories. In the midst
of her gloom and desolation she Sc
lects as her idol one who, like herself,
went down in disaster-one whose
life, like her own, was life of suffer
ing and sacrifice. (Applause.)
The poet has said:
'sWhether upon the scaffold high,
Or in the battles van,
The noblest place for man to die,
Is where he dies for man. (Applause.)
Is it easy to die for ones country
ir the rush and roar of battle, with
the soul ablaze with combat. How
different is it to be led forth by a rude
executioner, the basest of his species,
and consigned to brutal and shame
full death. Thus did Emmett die.
(AppIause.)
Did he die in vain! No. From
generation to generation of Irishmen
the flame of patriotism leaps along
the line of the ages. From the Irish
man who fought Strongbow, to the
Irishman who now languishes in Eng
lands prison, the long line is unbroken
the chain of succession is complete
and far away into the future it will
reach through many generations.
Sooner or later that persistent, pas
sionate patriotism will triumph.
Under the ameliorating influences
of modern civilization England will
of her own accord do Ireland justice,
or in some grand crisis of her fate the
conquered but unsubjugated race will
spring to their feet and hurl down
their oppressors. Great applause.)
At the grave of the murdered En-
NETT let us take new hope that the
cause he died for will yet triumph,
and that the day is not far distant
when his glorious epitaph will be
written. (Applause.)
AS soon as Mr.. Donnelly concluded
his eloquent address, the audience
withdrew from the hall and the meet
