BERLIN, June 15.-The American dele
gates to the Samoan conference are
much complimented on the result of
their labors. William Walter Phelps is
regarded by every one as the coming
United States Minister, though he him

position. The official p -ees is disinclined
to dwell upon the matter of the Samoan
settlement, all the glory of which is lost
to Germany, and brief paragraph in
the North German Gazette, on the conclu-
sion of the Conference, states that an
agreement was arrived at with perfect
unanimity by the powers represented, ,and
to the satisfaction Of all parties coz.
cerned.
Today being the anniversary of the
death OF Emperor Frederick, memorial
services were held in the Freidenkirch
at Pottsdam, which were attended by a
large concourse, including all the mem.

CELTIC NAMES.

Residing In Our Prin neipal Cities.
The relative numbers of Celtic inhab.
itants in the four prime ipal cities of the
Union must be matter of interest to
every Irish nationalist. To find out
such a matter with absolute certainty
would be well nigh impossible; but by
means of the directories of the cities,
about the Celtic population of which
We desire to speak, very close approx
imation can be made as to the Irish
element they contain. We had recently
an opportunity of examining the directo.
ries of the four principal American
cities-New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago and Boston-and took the trouble
to count the number of columns of each
directory that contained the most COM
mon and numerous Irish names, and the
results are very interesting. 1t will in
variably be found that whenever there
are the most O's and Macs, and
the most Murphys and Sullivans,
there is the largest Irish popua-
ton; for the naples Murphy and
Sullivan, and names which begin with
o. and Mac, are the most numerous
among the Celtic race. The prefix o.
should, by right, be retained before the
names Sullivan and Murphy, but in most
cases it has been discarded.
The number of names in the columns
of the directories of the four cities men
toned is very nearly the same and will
average about eighty. The following
table gives the number of O's and Macs,
Sullivan and Murphys in the four cities

NEW YORK,

From the foregoing it will be seen,
contrary to the general belief, that Phil
adelphia is absolutely and that Boston is
relatively the most Celtic of American
cities. The population of New York is,
in round mum mbers, 100000 Philadel-
phia 900, 900, Chicago 10000, and Bos-
ton 400 QUO. Philadelphia, about one.
third less in population than New York,
has fifteen more columns of Celtic
names; but Boston, in proportion to it's
population, is the most Celtic of all. If
New York were as Celtic as Boston it's
directory would have about $50 columns
of O's, Macs, Sullivans and Murphys,
instead of 2O4; and if it were as proper
tionately Celtic as Philadelphia it's di-
rectory would contain about 800 instead
of 2O4 columns of the Celtic names men
toned. Chicago is relatively and ab-
solutely the least Celtic OF the four cit
les. 1t is about as populous and half
as Boston, but it's directory contains
only 112 columns of the prominent Gel
tic names against 152 in the Boston di-
rectory. We use the term Celtic instead
| of Irish, because considerable minority
of the names beginning with Mac are
Scotch rather than Irish. Boston, then,
| is in proportion to its population the
most Celtic and the most Irish city in
America.
The case of Philadelphia is curious.
It is said to contain a smaller foreign
born population than any of the great
cities of America, and this is probably
SO yet, with the exception OF Boston, ii
is relatively the most Celtic of the four
cities. This is explained by the fact
that long ago-as far back as the time
when what are now known as the United
States were British colonies-there was
q vast tide of emigration from Ireland to
this country, and the greater part of il
was directed to Pennsylvania. The diff
ference between the Irish element in
Boston and Philadelphia is that in the
former city it is new and in the latter il
is old.
When one remembers that the prefxei
O. and Mac have been dropped in very
: nearly half the names that originally hat
|, them, and also that about fifty per cent
of Irish names have been either trans
lated or 30 changed that it takes som,
one even more trained than savant t,
recognize them in their mutilated Amer
ican forms. He is astonished at th,
limmensity of the Irish element il
, America, and marvels how it came t.
/ pass that the million and quarter O
r people that Ireland contained only tw
. hundred wears ago have grown to an in
| conceivable multitude that have sprea,

floor, but the people in them had heard
his three shots and had locked themselves
in. Muttering and stamping, the carpen-

at the door of the kitchen he put the pistol
to his heart and fired. He died half an
hour later.

thing he saw was the corpse in

the few things in Schnider's pockets was
printed slip of twenty-eight notices or
rules OF life which Stephen Allen used to
carry. Mr.. Allen was a very good man
who was MAYOR. of New York in 1921
1923. He was noted for, his upright
character and purity of life and he
found in some old newspaper series
of maxims much more elaborte than
K'ranklin's. Mr.. Allen cut the article
out and kept the clipping in HE pocket
book. 1t was found there when his body
was discovered among the victims OF a
steamboat disaster on the Hudson IN 1858.
Schneider, the inventor-carpenter, got a
copy of these rules somewhere, and the
creased, yellowish paper was the first
thing that one who searched the suicides

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Anthony Schnei-

her to make working models, but she de-
clined. Sometimes he got moody and de-
clared that he would shoot himself, but

he lost his job as carpenter and moped about
Geberhard's rooms GUM and disconnected.
The barber and his wife let him stay as
matter of charity. One day Schneider sat
in the kitchen watching Mrs. Geberhard
at work. He took out pair OF pistols aud
aimed one OF them at Mrs. Geberhard. She
screamed and ran out OF the room and had
him arrested. All he got the next day
was month on the island.
