TEACHING DYNAMITE WARFARE.
A Professor, with Internal Machines in
Pocket, Entcrtains the United Irish
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times,
Over 200 members of the United Irish
mems clubs of this city paid 80 cents
apiece last night to hear Prof MezzroiT,
a Russian with Il Scottish accent, tell
how Ireland may be freed from English
tyranny by generous use of dynamite,
gun cotton and other explosives. The
professor is a tall, middle-agcd man,
with curly auburn hair, a moustachea and
goatee and big forehead. He wore
spectacles but rarely looked through the
glasses. He was dressed in full suit of
black broadcloth. His voice is strong
and his manner so earnest that at times
it created laughter. The professor came
highly recommended, having edited va
rious Nihilstic newspapers in Europe,
and being the inventor Of several very
successful bombs.
NJ. J. Callaghan, a young Milesjan Nj
hilst, of Philadelphia, opened the meet
ing and read long and tedious address
on the suilerings of the Irish people, the
tyranny of England and the necessity of
adopting the dynamite or some other ex-
treme policy "to bring Queen Victoria and
her myrmidons to their senses"
The professor then came forward, and
the more nervous spectators viewed with
suspicion bundle he carried in his coat
tail pocket. Their minds. however, We're
relieved when he hauled out roll of
manuscript Instead of a big dynamite
bomb.
lie has Travelled ali over the world and
is Of the opinion that suffering people are
suffering people no matter whether they
are in Ireland or in Ilindoostan. His
auditors were of the same opinion, and
applauded.
The professor dislikes editors, and al
though one ofthe guild himself. declared
that they had no means of knowing how
people are oppressed. He said he was
the dynamite fcnd. He reviewed the
past history Of the Irish people, and de-
cared that it was impertincnt for a bloat
ed aristocrat like Henry Morley TO come
to this country and at public meetings
talk about the causes of American pros
perity. During three trips he made
across Ireland during the famincs, he was
struck by the fact that, although the peo-
pie had nothing t. eat but mnsh and mo-
lasscs, they were as puCnacious and ca
ger to resist tyranny as their forefathers
were 300 years ago.
During one of his paroxysms the pro-
fessor prophesied that some morning En-
gland would wake pin such blaze that
her rulers would say TO the Irish
eco to yoqrselvcs; we are tired of
youw
Nothing can, in his opinion be accom-
plishcd by oratory. Dynamite is the on
" thing that will avail against tyranny.
He called Queen Victoria a dirty-noscd
old woman, declared that Parnell was
weak knecd and inconsistent, and said
that Gladstone was illainous old hyp-
ocrite. England's power is SO great that
it would be foolish to oppose her in the
field, but explosives make the weak able
to compete with the strong.
When he said, 81 have now about me
such terrible machines that one of them
would blow this hall and every one in it
in pieces" shiver ran through the au-
dience.
He said England was among the first
nations to use dynamite, and urged his
hearers to follow her example, and put
such Gordon of torpedoes around Ire
land that no war vessel could approach
the little green isle. In order to distrib-
ute a general knowledge of explosives he
advocated the bringing of class of men
from Ireland to this country TO study un-
der skilled chemists, and said that when
the students had acquired sufficient
knowledge of explosives they could be
sent back TO spread destruction through
the British possessions.
