Mr.. Burke were Mr.. Gladstone's messengers
OF peace TO Ireland. They were the fore
runners OF the policy for which the illustIi-
GUS statesman has always been anxious, and
20 enforce which he awaited himself OF the
6rst overlures made by the Irish Home
Ruler. and the English Conservatives. A
plain, frank, brave man, Mr.. Gladstone has
pursued a course in dealing with Ireland
which, if it has not always met the wishes
of the British people, has been dictated by a
foresight and grasp Of the situation which DO
other statesman in England can measure. To
meet him on the threshold Of profered peace
with the knife in the h ands of rufianly as sas-
sins, whose conduct can neither find palliation
nor excuse in any Of the sad pages of Ireland's
hi story, is to endanger his enforcement Of
the kindly policy OF good will, if not to

The Rev. DIR. Thomas Osmond Summers

to the United States in 1880, and became a

tute the frat conference there. In 1874 he
Joined the Alabama conference, and as secre-
tary of the convention at Louisville, KY,
assisted in organizing the Methodist Episco-
pal Church South. By appointment he as
sisted in the editing of the Solrhera Christian
Adpocate and in compiling a new hymn
book. In 1850 the General Conference
elected him editor of their books and tracts
and of the Sunddy-School Visitor, and, in
1858, also of the QaIr;erly Rerie,g. In 1866
he was elected editor of the Nashville
Christian Advocate, which position he occu-
pied until 1874, when he was elected pro-
lessor of systematic theology in the Wander
bilt University. His writings include Com
rentar les on the GospeLs and on The Acts Of The
apostles; Commentary on the Ritual Of The II.

productions published in the South. At the
time of his death he was about to send to the
press a work on Systematic Theology
Many of his most valuable manuscripts we're
destroyed by the burning of the old publish
ing house in 1872, as well as large library,
that department having been in that portion
of the building where the FIRE burned
6ercest- Since then he had had a
large number of books given to him
until he accumulated another large library.

JEFFERSON MONUMENT.
WORK SOON TO BE coNMENcED-No PL
YET DECIDED UPON


YET DECIDED UPON.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-In accordance with
the joint resolution of Congress, recently
approved by the President, authorizing the
appropriation of $4,000 for the erection OF
a monument over the grave of Thomas JEFF
ferson, at Monticello, a., under the direction
OF the secretary of state, the work will shortly
be commenced. Secretary Frelinghuysen
has requested the secretary of war to detail
Colonel Casey, of the army, who also has
charge of the work on the Washington mon
unent, to superintend the erection of the
Jefferson monument. Ii is intended that the
monument shall be about fourteen feet high,
composed of plain granite, inclosed within
an iron fence. As soon as the order detail
ing Colonel Casey is issued, proposals for the
work will be in order. The secretary of state
has at present in his possession a number of
designs which were submitted under the
previous act, which appropriated but $4,000.
No plan has been decided upon yet, but it
seems to be the general impression that a
plain granite obelisk will be selected. Sew
eral enterprising sculptors have already
made application to be allowed 10 cast a
bronze statue of Jefferson, but as the appro-
gsissiRn is LIMITED s her s,,s no

VIENNA, May 6.-In the trial of persons
accused of criminal neglect in the case of
the Ring theater fire, Herr Helmesburger,
conductor of the orchestra, deposed: "Im-
mediately after the fire broke out he urged
Police-Commissary Landsteiner to have
lights taken into the theater, as there we're
people therein, but Landsteiner begged him
TO be treasured that everybody was being

Helmesburger, but the wife and son of the

witness testified he heard Landsteiner inform
Archduke Brecht that everybody was safe
