larly effective in the advancement Of
western civilization. With seeming reck-
lessness, their efforts were in the interest
of law and order, and the people owe
them a debt Of gratitude they do not for
get. Their page in history is as fascina-
ting as it is honorable, and there is a pc

venturous are Kit Carson, Wild Bill, But

MYSTERIOUS GATHERINGS.
irish Meetings in chicago with Closed
Doors.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The Times Of to-day
says In regard TO mysterious gathering" Of
Irishmen at the Palmer House, this city: 1.-THE
proceedings are conducted with the utmost secrecy
Guards are kept at the door and newspaper re-
p0rters are most strenuously refused not only ad
mittsnce, but any information as TO the name or
object of the conclave. Prominent Irishmen have
either denied their knowledge Of the gathering
or avoided talking of IT, The sessions are
held in the most retired part of the
house, and the floor Of the room is GOV.
cred with sawdust to subdue the sound. 1t is
stated, however, on authority which there seems
no reason to doubt, that the convention is the an.
nual conclave Of representatives of the Irish revo
lutionary secret societies These societies claim to
represent the famous Clan Gael or, what Is
the same thing, the Emmet Monument Associa.
tion,' the object ofwhich is to erect q monument
to and write the epitaph Of Robert
Emmett the Irish patriot. Emmett died,
1t will be remembered, with the request that
his eptaph be not written until Ireland should be
free. The object Of the present meeting, 1t is al
legged, is to determine whether the Irish secret
societies shall ndorse o'Donovan Rossa or in other
words, whether they will approve of the dynamite
and internal machine method of writing Mr..
Emmets epitaph. The convention has been in
progress two days and is expected to close day"
