And yet we doubt whether there
is any country where the trade of in>
forming fiourishes as 1t does III that
unharpy land where the informer is
so bitterly hated. One is tempted 10
wonder whether the Irishman's ani-
mostly toward a traitor is not insplr-
ed by CONSCIOUSNESS that traitors are
so dangerously common; whether
conspiracy is not, after all, a rather
less popular form Of crime than sell
ling out.
After the suppression of Desmond's
rebellion in the sixteenth century,
pardons were offered to the submits
ting chiefs on condition that they
would eptlap their obstinate breth-
rem, and we read that they drought
in the heads Of rebels by the sack
full" Similar genes were witnesse |
after the rising o. Tyrone against
Queen Elizabeth; and the failure of
that enterprise was largely owing to
a thrifty patriot of the Geraldine
family, known rs the White Knight,
who sold out another patriot called
the Earl Of Straw for a thousand
pounds and a pardon. The Earldom
of Westmeath was the reward of a
noble informer a few years later. The
secrets of the United Irishmen, ut the
end ofthe last century, were always
for sale. The solicitor of the organs
ization at Belfast was bought by the
Government for 81 $50 down., and a
pension Of $50 q year. n barrister
who appeared for the patriots i'll
Crown prosecutions sold himself to
the Crown for 600 Il year. Amem-
Der of the provincial AMI county
committees in Ulster was IN infor-
mer; so was a Belfast bookseller who
had often been IN Jail with the pa
~triots; and there was a large gang of
needy gentlemen" who joined the
society for the purpose of betraying
it. Thomas Adds Emmet was sold
by an infamous informer named
Reynolds, a connection by marriag'
Of Wole Tones; this rogue ~receiyeI
from the government $4,000 Yin cash
and a pension Of 81, 900 a year. The
conspiracy of Robert Emmett was be-
trayed to the police, by several of the
sworn c,nspirators, five months be-
fore it broke out. Lord Edward
Fitzgerald was betrayed by the editor
Of the Dublin Freeman's Journal
As soon as the Government found a
clew to the Phoenix Park murders,
there was a mad rush of informers
eager to save their W necks ty
hanging their friends.
The frequency of such instances of
treachery may lead us to inquire
whether it Is not owing to some de-
feet in the national character that
irish rebellions have SO little, vitality.
The patriotism that is not proof
against the temptation of money or
the errors of the cell and the halter
Is not ii force to shake thrones.

THE NEWEST swINDLE.
A Young Man, a Pretty Lady, a Buggy,
and some Victimized People.

A Young Man, a Pretty Lady, a Buggy,
and some victimized People.
Baltimore Sun.
An ingenious swindle, and one
which has be,n work id to great suc-
cess, has been practiced on unsuspcc-
ting tradespeople, druggists ard 9TH
ers, in Baltimore this week. Tho
latest three transactions took place
about dusk on Thursday evening, and
the victims were all within a short
distance Of each other. About the
timo mentioned a welldressed young
man, attended by an engaging-look-
ing young lady, drove up in a fine
buggy in front of q well-known drug
store in North Baltimore. He did not
alight, but called loudly for the pro-
prietor of the store, who went out to
see what was wanted. Thon the
genteel young man, in a hurried and
b~reathless way, explained thai he
was the son of o wcll>known coal
dealer with whom the druggist was
on very intimate terms. The lady in
the carriage was his wife, and they
were on their way to an entertain
ment, when he had suddenly discov,
cred no was without a cent of money.
Would the druggist kindly lean him
ten dollars, as he was in too great a
hurry to go all the way back home
for some. OF curse tho drugstore
man would. The boldness of the re-
quest and the appearance of the young
nan were sufficient, and the druggist
| went into the store, took SO from
| the drawer returned to the carriage
and handed the young man the mons
| ey. After q few hurried thanks the
| vehicle was driven rapidly off. 1t
stopped in front of q grocery store
| not more than a block away. The
| young man went through the same
programc, and obtained the money
asked for. Then the couple drove to
another drug store near the boundary,
| and by the same operation, except
that the young man represented him :
| self as the son of a prominent manu-
facturer, and the lady as his sister.
the usual ten dollars was obtained /.
| Other places were similarly victimized,
| one Baltimorc-strect merchant losing
| S25, and it is thought that the cou-
pie have left Baltimore with several
hundred dollars obtained from the
coniding storekeepers and business
| men of Baltimore. The boldness of
the demand had the desired effect in
| every case heard from. Had the
young man alighted from the buggy.
which he never did, aud gone into
the store to ask the loan, he would
probably have been put down as a
swindler or fraud and refused. He
seemed well posted on the acquain~
tances of his victims. In case OF be-
ing suspected the buggy would have
furnished an excellent means Of es-
| cape.

Return Of the Comet offs12.

The so-called Brooks comet is now
demonstrated to be the long>expect-
ed comet of 1912 known to astrono-
mers as Pons's comet. It was first
observed by Pons at Marseilles, July
20, 1912. and independently, at a
later date, by Wisniewsky, at Novo-
Tcherkask. Enke discovered its per>
iodicity, fixing its time of perihe!ion
passage as on Sept. 10, 1872, and its
period at 7O.69 years. 1t has not
been limited by astronomical au>
thorities that its length of revolution
could be inferred from. the observa>
tons within several months. Prof.
Brooks's observations Saturday night
at Phelps's IN. " Observatory show
n remarkable increase in the brillian-
cy of the comet since its discovery.
Tt is 10Y visible in good telescopes
near Eta draconis. The comet is rap>
idly approaching the earth and sun,
and Will be visible ty the unassisted

To the Memory Of Gen Burnside.


The cornerstone ceremonies of
Burnside Memorial Hall, Bristol,
Rhode Island. came off last week.
Col. s. Pomeroy Colt made the fol-
lowing just and tender tribute to-
the old hero so we'll known and To-
loved By our people:
The building whose cornerstone
we lay to day will have threefold
character. Here will be conducted
the administration of town affairs.
Here the Council will meet. Here
the Court of Probate will exercise
it's responsible powers. Hcre the
Town Clerk will be furnished with
a much needed accommodation.
Here the public records will find a
secure place. But this build
ing has a higher and more sacred
office. In the struggle of 81 counts
less men went forth from the towns
ard States OF the North, seyering
the dearest ties, giving, if called
for, their life, that all the disastrous
consequences flowing from IL divi-
ded Nation might be avertcd. In
THIS emergency Bristol did her full
duty. Tho names of the soldiers
and sailors from the town who died
during or since the war, and the
names OF the living after they shall
have left us. will be inscribed on fits
ting tablets, placed within this
building to forever p%erpetuate their
memory, and as evidence of the
abiding loyalty of our town. All
are entitled to high honor and All
imperishabla IenOwn, but there was
one who was so conspicuous as a
leader, who held such high COM
mands, who illustrated in so sig
nal a manner the exalted virtues
aud heroism necessary to meet the
crisis, that it has been ftly decided
that this building should lie assOci-
ated more directly with his name.
1t is as a community to testify our
affection for him, our appreciation
of his character, our attachment to
the principles to which his life was
dedicated, that with loving hearts
and fearful eyes We sOlemnly de>
clare that this public Office, devoted
W Nudt 10 uCdt W no 40 pOOpiCj
where numbers Of us, and those
who come after us for generations,
will daily gather, shall be known as
the Burnside Memorial forever. AS
a soldier, statesman, citizen, he was
active and untiring in the perfor-
nance of every public duty. He
answered the call of his country in
an instant. In the hour of victory
or defeat, personal considerations
we're always lost sight ofin his deep
sOIicitude for tire common good. His
supreme faith in popular institu-
tions inspired others to initiate his
example. But Burside's lOyc for his
fellow-man, how can you express it!
1t was the one dominant passion OF
his soul. 1t colOred his whole life.
1t made him the most beloved man
of his time. His comrades in arms,
his brother Senators, the people OF
his adopted State, his fcllow-towns>
men, all throughout the land who
ever came within his presence,
found him a friend. companion,
brother. To the tired, wounded OF

The Garfield Monument at Cleveland.
The Garfield Committee has dcci-

which is to be erected to the mems
o"y Of President Garfield at Cleve>
land, Ohio. Mrs. Garfield has ap-
proved the selection, and the work
of grading and preparing the site
has been begun. The site is on a
bluff overlooking Lake Erie, being
the highest ground along the lake
shore, about four miles east of the
centre of the city of Cleveland. The
bluff forms the southern portion of
Lake View cemetry,,i and the view
from it is commanding one, ex>
tending miles away. Lake Erie
stretches below it on the north. Tho
monument will be placei ear the
southern edge of the bluff, OH the
level WHICH forms the summit of the
rise. The whole of the two and
one-halfacres will be laid out with
the highest skill in landscape gar
dening. The plot is approached By.
drives which wind III upon it from
all sides. It is approached from.
the north through the main car
rage driver which enters fro n Eu-
Q id avenue. Tie monument will
face toward Lake Eric. 1t affords
a fine opportunity for decorative
painting on its slopes and along the
edge Of the bluff. There is an am
pie level srace for the monument
itself, 50 that it can be seen for a

The Reduction in Matches.

Baltimore Sun.
The abolition of the tax on match
es saves the people of the United
States not only the three and a-quar-
ter million of dollars that was paid
iuto the treasury annually from the
sale of stamps and the tariff taI, now
only fifteen per cent, but has forced
the large firms, who had almost en-
tireiy monopolized the match business
to make a very largo reduction on
tho old prices. The stamp tax,
and the ability of the wealthy manu-
facturers to cheaper production by
the use of improved, machinery. and
to get their supplies of white pine
timber. sulphur and phosphorus mix
ture OF the lowest market rates, either
fruzo out the smaller makers of
matches or led to their absorption by
the monopolists. Since the LIST of July
when the abolition of the stamp on
matches went into effect, q large
number of small manufacturers have
entered into competition with the
great firms, and cheap matches have
been imported in large quantities
from Sweden and Norway. While
these new competitors have not bro
ken up tue business OF those VINO
formerly held very nearly a monopoly
OF it, AMI who resisted strenuously
the abolition of tho stamp tax, they
have become aware that the days of
eprofits are over. How largesthose
profits were may be judged from the
f,ct~that the chief monopolist has
just reddced It's prices to dealers over
so per cent, or from five dollars and
ten cents per case to from two dollars
and a quarter to two dollars and q
half, according to quality. In house

blessings of our day was the intro.
