''Painting the Town Red"

Not long ago you printed a letter
asserting that the phrase, "patnting
the town red, is of comparatively re-
cent and els Atlantic origin. 1 be-.
lieve it is a paraphrase of an expres-
sion that frequently occurs IN old
Irish balladry, In looking over. .
collection of old Irish war songs and
ballads descriptive of the saDguinary
conflicts between the Irish chieftains
and the ADglo-Norman invaders OF
ireland, I nave frequently found
phrases closely akin to that Of "paint-
ing the town red" For instance,
when the Irish Kernes under Will
lam Mace Geoghegan, Lord of Kenil
Feacha, in the: county Of Westmeath,
overthrew the English ut the oattle
of Ardnocher, A. d. 1928, staying
8, 500 of the latter, the bardic chron-
icler tells us tnat the midnight skys
were Redeemed with torrents of flame
from the highlands east and. west. In
honor of the victory. The towns
and hamlets, too, wherein the kim
dred of the victors dwelt blazed. or
were "painted red" with b0nf1res.
and the Inhabitants thereof naturally
gave loose rein to their mirthful pro-
pensities. The fires npon the high.
lands were the primitive modes OF
telegraphing to distant kinsfolk and
sympsthizers the glad tidings and
the exuberant exaltation that fol-
lowed.
In describing the effects of the bat
tie OF Oulart Hill, which was tho
first encounter between the Irish
insurgents and the English army in
the gteat Wexford rebelllon Of 1898,
In Ireland, and in which the patriots
came Oft victorious, the local ballad
list says:
Tho hills aud skies wers painted red
That night with beacon tires
Fur Wexf .ru's SONS had vel avenged
Their SAXON slaughtered Aires.
cou.u cite u score VI other quota
tions showing that an expressiOn al
most xactly similar to that of "paint-
ing the town red' was favorite one
with the old Irish bards when de-
picting the excltlling scenes that fol-
lowed = military triumph on the part
of their c0untrymen.
Is it. then, Unreasonable to infer
that the phrase painting the town
red. ~ for iuduleing in the wild an
tics of unlicensed bilarity, had its
origin in the way allude to?-Wn.

The Care eta Watch.

A few remarks on the care of
watches are made by a writer in the
Popular Science Monthly. A good
watch should be oiled once . year
and cleaned once in three years. If
a jeweler tells you that there is some
very serious trouble or break IN your
watch, which will cost several dol
lars to get repaired. ask him to take
the watch "down" and let you see
the trouble. It Is better to wind
ones watch in the morning than In
night and expose the watch to the
cold, the chilling of the tightly
wound mainspring may break 1t.

A WORTHY b. r. OFFICIAL
Switched from the Regular Track
Onto the Route From Which No
Traveller Returns.

Dispatches received yesterday from
the south inform US of the sudden
death of conductor l.. V. Millard.
Mr.. Millard had just entered the en-
ploy of the Utah and Northern. he
came from the Oregan Short Line,
but tor several years was q conductor
on the Michigan Central r. R., and
lived at Jackson, Michigan. Mr..
Millard, as q railroad man, was high
ly esteemed by those corporations
whom he served, and his death is
lamented by the very many with
whom he came in contact during an
honorable career. He was y member
ofthe .. R. c., and also of the K.
ofP.
The cause of his death is unknown,
any more than that he fell from the
train while it was in motion, between
Lavell and Melrose. The probability
IS that his foot slipped while he was
passing from one Car to another. Mr..
Ml!lard was but thirty years Of age,
and by his death the Utah and
Northern has lost q faithful official
and society an honorable member.

Father 6canl0n, delivered an Grafton

vivid cOiors, many beautiful illustra-
tions of Ireland, mentioned the
causes of her troubles and paid
homage to the memory Of her patriots.
During the address the speaker was
frequently interrupted by rounds OF
applause.
The music was furnished by Prof.
Fl. H. ELVES and pupil Of Sir Julius
Benedict, who presided at the organ,
and by Prof. Geo. E. Fisher who,
