One OF the Prominent Figures Before the
Recent Irish Convention


The convention OF the Irish National Land
League in Chicago was oneof the largest con-
ventions ever held under the auspices Of that
organization, owing to the impetus given to
it 10y the arrival of many prominent Irish
politicians from Europe, and although there
are disagreements between many OF the
members, nothing outside Of purely political
subjects will be likely to be introduced. Mr..
Finerty, who is one of the brightest stars in
the constellation of first-clsss magnitude, has
much to say In regard TO the Irish question.
He says we have no desire to force the hand
OF Parnell, or TO drive the Irish people into
war unprepared. All that we demand is this
(and we will be satisfied with nothing less
that no leader of the Irish people, who Is sup
posed to speak for them, shall commit him
self or them as a final settlement, bills of re-
lief unworthy of the dignity OF Ireland's
national demand" Mr.. Einerty's speech in
answer to Davitt at the convention excited
unlimited applause. Among other things
he said, which ELECTED much cheering was,
'the Irish Americans wanted to force no
policy upon the Irish people at home, but
they would not surrender their own they,
too, had long and terrible account to settle
with England. They had rs many wrongs
to avenge as the people Of Ireland them
selves" Mr.. Finerty's name had been ia.
vorably mentioned in connection With the
presidency Of the Land League as Egan's
fore the convention, as his election would
necessarily prevent him from tax ing an active
part in politics. Mr.. Finerty was formerly
correspondent of the staff of the Chicago
Times, and represented a Chicago district In
Congress for one term,

MAURICE THOMPSON, the we'll known

Nowhere Is this peculiar, individual char

The abuses of the soldiers orphans
schools is one of those iniquitIes that will be
reformed under the next Democratic admin
istration in this state. Governor Pattison
discovered them and Governor Black will
eradicate them. The report Of Gen. Louis
Wagner, inspector of these schools, shows a
deplorable condition Of affairs. At Chester
Springs school he reports the bedding old
and worn, the tableware and dining room
furnitue poor and not well kept, no saucers,
no napkins, no tumblers, bad discipline at
the table, no basins, soap, brushes, or combs
in the lavatory, the boys clothing in a bad
state OF repair, the school rooms not in good
shape, no instruction In mechanical or agri-
cultural employments, as the law directs,
and that the institution, as a whole is in an
unsatisfactory condition.
The same criticisms are made concerning
the arrangements at McAllisterville, Mercer,
Uniontown, Dayton, Hartford, Whitehall,
Butler and Loysville, while the Mount Joy
school, with its rickety and ill-ventilated
buildings, its dark "play room," so-called,
ranks low, and tho false system OF economy
there practiced has worked the most dsmag-
ing results. The inspector advocates the
entire reorganization of this school and the
reduction OF the number of children.
The act of 1867 requiring instruction in the
usual branches Of education Is entirely disre-
garded In number of the schools. Certain
branches are omitted altogether. Vocal music
is taught in only two schools, military tactics
are taught IN only one school, calisthsnics are
taught In one school, instruction In mechani-
cal employment is ignored, instruction in
agricultural employment is equally neglected.

giving it out freely that, of all the likely

DIR. JOSEPH JAsTRow, OF Philadel phia,
before the members of the American Asso.
citation for the Advancement OF Science, in
session In Buffalo, delivered an Interesting z
lecture on centenarians. OF the 4,0l6 alleged
centenarians the female sex claims 2, ,6O7 and
the males only l,409, that Is, two OF every
three are women. Again, distinguishing be-
tween the several races, 1t Is found that the
natives white claim only 592, the foreign
born 1863 and the colored race no less than
3,O6l, OF which more than two-thirds are
women, 80 that more than half OF the alleged
centenarians In the United States are coll
ored women. Allowing for exaggeration
among the latter, the native male white ratio
OF centenarianism to the whole country Is
reduced from 4,0l6 to sOd or about In 62, 900.
The somewhat remarkable conclusion is
reached by the paper that wherever the
people claim the largest share ofcentenarians
there then is the most illiteracy.

Tho Coke Question.

There was no material change in the
situation In the Connellsville coke region
on Friday although several works were
in operation and others preparing to
resume. Sheriff Stewart, of Westmore-
land county, refuses to evict the strik
ers during the present cold weather, and
says " if the operators want the Hun
garians turned out they will have to dc
1t themselves" Last night the strikers
were encouraged by the resumption OF
work at the Emma mines, at the ad
vance, and the acquis, ton to their for
cos of the men at the Valley and Eureka
mines.
1t is announced that number OF the
miners evicted from the tenant houses
of II, G. Frick & Co. in tie Connells
vile region will sue the company for
damages.
A prominent iron manufacturer oil
Cleveland, Ohio, said ON Friday that
there is at present very little coke in
that city, and should the strike in the
Connellsville region be prolonged the
effect will be very serious. Similar
apprehensIifoHniss exists y Hsjt aps2ntR the iron
and in Pennsylvania. Tho supplies oil
coke and pig iron in the market are
constantly growing smaller. The Ootoc'
ton Iron Company at Frederick, Mary
