WALES, LIFE SAVED.
aWhy the DynamiterA Spared the Coming
King of England.

AAAA VI A-As AeaAU'
LONDON, March GA dynamiter was
asked II the manifesto assuring sa%ty to
the Prince of II ales had been really issued
by the leaders Of the dynamite party. The
dynT hitter laughed rs he replied. Eyes,
it Is time that we nmnestied the Prince"
"Because he is q Freemason?" asked
the correspondent.
The dynamiter hesitated few moments
before replying, and then said: ''The real
reason for issuing that manifesto has
hitherto been secret, but don't believe
it can do any harm to reveal it now.
Here Is tho whole story: When the Princes
visit to Ireland las first mooted II caused
an immense sensation among the Republic
can agtatOrs. The extremists everywhere
were wild, and the hot-blooded fanatics
IN our party were amazed at the auda-
mty of the Prince in proposing to walk
into the strOngholds Ofhis enemies. A few
of 6he most reckless agitators afterwards
TONED an inner circle to arrange for the
removal Of the Prince while he is in
Dlbin. Secret applications were made
for + ..nds to carry out the enterprise, and
two wealthy InVinoibles made liberal
responses. An official in Dublin Castle,
who had long been rendering valuable
aid by procuring various secret police
circulars, offered to eposit a few
bombs where they would be most eteo i've.
He said that he could and would
deposit as many be mbs as might be nee
essary, if they were made with time fuse
so that they might be exploded while the
Prince was holding his leye. at the Castle.
The offer was accepted. A dozen
bombs, with clock work attachments,
were manufactured with some difficulty.
The inner circle was chuckling over the
promised success of their plot, and antic-
ipsted grander display Of pyrotechnics
than had been seen since the late Car
was assisted into heaven.
just at this time a report of the plot
reached the foremost leaders of the agi-
tators. They promptly denounced it, and
threatened to resign and repudiate the
dynamiters altogether if such an i'm
prudent and untruitful measure should
ba attempted. A fatal split in the party
was imminent, but the influence of the
moderate section proved the stronger, and
the plot was abandoned. The circle was
dissolved, aud the manifesto Of safety
was issued"
Then the protection of his Royal High
ness was not due TO the fact that he IS an
eminent Mason?"
''NOt at all. TO be sure, there are many
FreemasOns among us, and that furnished
a good reason for the phraslng OF the
manifesto. But the main tact is that this
victory OF the moderate agitators is one OF
many signs that the idea OF political MUIR
der is losing favor"
