Scanlan went on to say that several
months ago when the institution went
into the sheriff's hands he obtained per
mission to make a full examination OF
the books in the interest of Cronin and
other prominent Irishmen. AS result
he found that the sum Of SS2, 900 had
been deposited to Sullivan's personal
credit, but he was unable to learn how
it was deposited except in general
way. The whole amonnt, moreover,
had been drawn by means of a check
1t was this transaction to which DIR.
Cronin had called the attention of the
convention held at Philadelphia, his
statements at that time being supported
by Sheridan, who had in the meantime
come to this country and is now in Cali
fOrnia.
Cronin urged the appointment Of a
trial committee, but Sullivan managed
to explain the matter away and it was
dropped until last summer, when the
conflicting clans met in this city. Then
Cronin renewed the charge and the now
famous committee of six was appointed
to investigate. AS has already been re-
ported a majority report vindicatine
Sullivan and signed by four members is
already in existence, while Cronin had
just before his death completed a
minority report in behalf of himself and
his colleague, setting forth that the
charges had been fully proven. Both Of
these reports were intended for the forth
coming convention of the National
League.
scanlan Demands an Investigation.
Scanlan went on to argue that there
was q direct connection between these
facts and the murder, and in conclusion
repeated his request for an Investigation
by the grand jury and offered to assist
that Eody in going through the books
Judge LOngnecker listened attentiyeIy
asking numerous questions, and when
Scanlan had concluded, he promised tc
give the request his serious and immedi.
ate consideration.

No Confessions Secured.
Il was reported that, Woodruff had
confessed that ice man Sullivan had
hired him to drive the cart in which the
body was taken from the cottage, but
denial was given BY the police authori-
ties. Unsuccessful efforts were made

Egan, Scanlan went on to say, refused
to pay over the money, and thereupon
Sullivan threatened to disrupt every
Irish society in the United States, add
ing that large element was dissatisfied
with the management of Irish affairs
and on the verge of revolt. A week was
consumed m the discussion of the mat
ter, and finally Egan proposed that the
counsel of some of his confreres should
be taken. This was satisfactory to Sui
livan and Sheridan, the famous No. OF
the Phoenix park removals." and a
leader of the physical force men in Ire
land was mutually agreed upon. He
was summoned to Paris by telegraph,
and after fully considering the question
decided that in order to conciliate all
factions of the Clan-na-Gael in the
United States it would be better for the
meney to be paid. Therefore Egan
handed over to Sullivan $4,000 in cash
ofthe National League funds. The full
amount was brought to Chicago.

SULLNAN'S REVENGE
Belief That Cronin Was a Victim
Of an Embezzler's Malice.
SENSATIONAL RUMORs DENIED

Seaman Dem ,rds Investigation OF the
Books Of the Tankrups Traders ranlx
with the Belief That It win Prove DR.
J, CronIn's Charge Of Big Embezzle-
ment Of irish Nationalist Funds.
CHICAGO, May 3O.-There was a pro
longed conference at the rooms of States
Attorney Longnecker between that Of
fetal and Byron L. Smith, receiver OF
the Traders bank. which suspended
some months ago, Baliff Mortimer
Scanlan and Patrick Cavanagh, the two
latter being among the closest friends of
DIR. Cronin.
The object Of the conference, which
was held at the instance of Cavanaugh
and Scanlan, was to lay before the
states attorney the alleged facts relating
to an individual account with the de.
funct bank. which it is believed bY
Cronin's friends, has an important bear
ing on the murder.
Cronin's Charge of Embezzlement.
At the outset formal request was
made of the states attorney to seize
books of the bank forthwith and sub
NIT them to the grand jury. In them it
was said the body would find evidence
to bear out Cronin's statement that
certain prominent Irish-American had
been guilty of huge embezzlement OF
Nationalist funds when member of the
governing board of the Clan-na-Gael.
In support of the request Scanlan
made long argument. He said that
while Alexander Sullivan was member
of the triumvirate he went to Paris and
demanded of Patrick Egan, then an ex-
lie from Ireland and acting as treasurer
of the Irish Land League, the sum oil
$4,000 to be used in carrying out the
aims and objects of the physical force
men in the United States. This sum
was needed, he said, to furnish certain
expeditions that had been planned in
meeting of representative members OF
the Clan-na-Gael.

An Old Horse.

heard story lately of one of the
experiences of minister which are
sometimes pathetic and sometimes
amusing. An old parson was very
much in need of horse, and the sis
tiers of the flock determined to raise
the money to buy him the desired ami
NAL. After much exertion they raised
an amount considerably below the es-
timated price, and the beast acquired
was proportionately deficient in the
qualities which make Bucephalus SUI
perior to Rosinante.
One day when the horse was tied in
front of the parsonage, a sporting man
drove by and, seeing the outfit, stopped
and remarked to the parson: "Well,
dominic, that isn't much of an animal
the sisters gave you, is it2" Don't
say word against the horse, said the
parson Indignantly; that's better
beast than my Saviour rode into Jeru-
salem."
The sport gravely descended from
his carriage, examined the horses
legs, gazed into his blinded eyes and
looked at his teeth. AS he closed the
horses mouth and turned away, he
laconically Remarked:
''Same beast, parson, same BEAST

PARTITION OF The EARTH.

'There Take the worldw Jove from his skyey
throne
To mortals cried; ''for you and for your heirs
heritage forever-all your own;
But see that each with each like brother
shares!'
Then straight TO work all that had fingers went,
All busy, all alert, both young and old;
The farmer was on fruital harvest bent,
hunting sped the squire through wood and
void.
The merchant fills his stores from near anu far,
The abbott cus the choicest, Oldest wine,
The king on bridge and highway sets his bar,
And says, 'The tenth of everything is mine"
Long after all and each had taken his share,
The poet comes-he had been far away;
He looks and looks in vain, for everywhere
Naught could he but owned masters
sway.
"Woe's me- Shall l, of all thy sons the best,
Shall /, then, be forgotten, alone?"
Thus his complaint he tQ.great Jove addressed,
And flung him down before the Thunderer's
throne.
"Not mine the blame" the god replied Il trow,
If in the Land OF Dreams thy life was led
When earth was being parceled, where vert
thou?"
Twas with thee, with thee" the poet said.
"SIine eye upon thy face in rapture gazed,
The heavens full harmonies enchanted my ear;
Forgive the soul that, by thy radiance dazed,
Let so its hold upon the earthly sphere"
What nowl" said Jove; ION earth Eve naught
to give;
Field, forest, market, they no more are mine;
Tut in my heaven il thou with me wouldst live,
Como when thon wilt, a welcome shall be

The White House I'm 1900.

1t is interesting to read at this time
the description of the White House,
which Mrs. John Adams wrote in
1900. 1t was occupied in 1900 for the
first time. 1t was begun in 1892 and
was fashioned after the plan of the
palace of the Duke of Leinster. JEFF
ferson, the exponent of simplicity, ia
vored a more elaborate and ornate
structure. When President Adams
moved into the White House in 1900
his wife wrote that it was on grand
and superb scale; but that bells were
wholly wanting, that wood was not
to be had, although the place was sur
rounded with forests; that they could
not use coal because they could not
get CRATES, and that the great unfin-
ished audience room they used as q
drying room to hang clothing in. But
she thought the situation "beautiful
and capable of every improvement. u

Eating VS.. Drinking.

We are corrected for saying that
the French Canadians eat pea soup.
This correction proceeds from Hamil-
ton, where, we infer, they drink pea
soup. 1t depends upon the kind of
pea soup. You can drink the kind

sions and palatial hotels of Hamilton,
because it has no peas in it, those vul-
gar vegetables having been removed
before it gets to the table. But you
can't drink the good, old fashioned
pea soup that the habitants and other
humble people eat, because it is all
peas. You might as well talk about
quafIing flowing bowl of porridge.

Intelligent Dogs.

The intelligence of shepherd dogs is
one of the we'll known facts of canine
history, and many stories are told of
the manner in which they distinguish
sheep by the different marks. A shep-
herd dog without sheep feels that his
occupation is gone, especially if he
had been trained to herd flock. Not
long ago people of a small village
were in great distress. Not child
could be found. After long search
there was great cutlery. All the small
children of the village were found in
q deserted yard watched over by q
shepherd dog. Not having any sheep,
he had followed his instinct by col
lecting all the children of the place
into one fold.-Boston Budget.

oyerthrowing an Old Doctrine.

No monograph of equal value to
that of Alfred Binet ON 1.-THE Psychic

light for many day. 1t boldly denies
the doctrine promulgated by Romanes
and others that psyhic life has be-
ginning that can de determined in its

published in Open Court, and must
not escape the attention of the think

COMPARATIVE PLANS.

Crops are poor throughout Eastern
Carolina and especially in this sec
ton. In consequence Of this the
general feeling is that we can not
afford to lay out any more money
than we have been accustomed To
do.
This is q great country, ana many
thousands Of articles are being
manufactured in other parts Of the
United States that could easily be
and ought to be manufactured here.
In many manufacturing sections
where much money is made and
where people grow rich, they never
have cro1s-tLey make it from man
ufacturing Interests.
Now, what reason is there that
any community with the advantages
common to all North Carolina should
be depressed by reason Of short
crops for one or two seasons only?
There is none.
la many parts OF the country the
cooperative plan has been brought
into operation and 1t works well.
