Henry Grattan when the Irish parliament
came to an end. Henry Grattan was born
at Dublin, July 3sd, 1746. He entered
Trinity College and distinguished himself
there and in 1867 was called to the ba- in
London and in l772 in ireland. In 1I75 he
entered the Irish parliament, and at once
made his way to the front In February l'IS
he moved an address to the crown, that the
condition of Ireland was no longer endura-
| bile. and although his motion did not receive
the support of the majority. it led to the re-
| form of many abuses. In 11SO he moved ms
| famous resolutions, mat the king, with the
consent OF the parliament OF Ireland, was
alone competent to enact laws to bind Ire,
land. 1t was in April 1882 that he aroused
the Irish people to the greatest enthusiasm
when he delivered his Declaration OF
Rights" and began his speech with an
now about to address free people" Ii
1905 he was induced to enter the Engllsf
parliament 10 lend his assistance TO the Catn
olic Relief Bill, and from this time until nj
death in 1870 made this the one obJect o
his life. He was buried in Westmlnlste
Abbey and lies near to the remains OF Pit

Mrs. TYLER and Mrs. Polk with Mrs. Car
field and Mrs. Grant, are living widows OF
ex Presidents. They all draw pensions from
the Government.
Mrs. Polk, now living at an advanced age
in Nashville, was one Of the most admirable
mistres.es the White House has ever had.
She was Miss Sarah Childress, born In the
country that the pen Of Charles Egoer'
Craddock has so graphically depicted neal
Murfreesboro, and married James X. foiK'
then member of the Tennessee Legislature
in her nineteenth year. He went to Congress
the following year and for fourteen session, !,
continued there, being elected speaker Ii
1895.
and Mrs. Polk presided with grace at I'M
STATE Executive Mansion, so that when u
1S45 they came to the White House sn
nroyed one of the most agreeable ana pop
nlar of hostesses. Many innovations, .
rather changes in the old customs OF recel,
inc. were introduced during Mrs. folk,
residence at the capital, notablythe one 9

SWINDLED lAB0RERS.
They Take Desperate Measures to
Get Home.

TOPEKA, Kas., special, May 2: The clti-
zens of this city We, startled about mid
night by the receipt of telegram from the
West, announcing that band OF seventy
desperate men, heavily armed, had taken
possession of the east-bound passenger train
on the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe
railway. A request was made for assistance
in arresting them. When the train arrived
in topeka the sheriff and deputies and the
city marshal and policemen, in all about
fifty men, met the train in the suburbs, cut
out the car filled with the men and arrested
them, marching them up to the courthouse,
where they were confined.
There were sixty-seven of them, fifteen
only being white. The prisoners were In
terviewed, when it was learned that they
were laborers who had been employed in
Kansas City to work on new railroad al
Hutchinson. The contractors, through the
labor brokers in Kansas City, had promised
them 81 50 day, with board at ss ISL week
When the men arrived at Hutchinson they
found they were to receive 81 to 81 Is day
They could get board at the figures promised
but had no place to sleep, and were, as the!
claimed, treated with less consideration
than so many cattle. Some Of them wen
to work and others would not, until on tn
third day none of them would work.
BEING without money, the authorities o
Hutchinson deemed them a dangerous ele
ment in the city. and ordered them to leave
under penalty of being arrested as vagrant;;
The city marshal and others acting wit
hin, advised them to board the train, an
though they had no money, the rallr0a
company would carry them home ratae
than have trouble. After the train starte
