CHICAGO, Mayi3.-Patrick McGarry, who
was sent to Toronto by DIR. Cronin's friends

Young Woodruff was to-day bound over
to the criminal court on the charge OF
horse stealing. This aIterward he was
shown u humber of photographs, among
which was one OF Cronin. This he either
would not or could not point out. Wood
rufus, or Black, as he sometimes calls him
self, statement that he received money
from his father, J. Black OF San Francisco,
last Tuesday, was verified tonight by the
records of the express company. This
evening Black made q statement that he
knew Cronin was alive, but a unable
or unwilling to say how be knew it. He
says he had not told all he knew about the
trunk, and won't till his father arrives to
bail him out.
The court of Foresters, to which Cronin
belonged in Chicago, voted tonight 500 to
aid in the search for him, and passed q res
embarrassing on the other Illinois courts
to cooperate.
PHILADELPHIA, May IA, l:3O q. m.-Re-
to the statement said to have been
made by DR.. Cronin that lie left Chicago be-
fore the Clan-Na-Gael society had decided
his life should be taken, permit me to state
that DR.. Cronin never made such an asser-
ton. The Clan-Na-G Gael society is not a
society. There was no enm.ty be-
tween the Clan-Na.Gael and DR.. Cronin. On
the contrary, DIR. Cronin was one of thu
most valued members OF the society.
Luke Dillon, the signer, is a prominent
of the Clan.Na-Gael in Philadel-
phia.

The murder by the wretch Roberts at
Me%aderville, yesterday noon, was one of
the most cool, deliberate, heartless and
inexcusable ever recorded in the history
Of Montana. The monster expresses no
regret for the terrible deed, but told a
MINER reporter that he was "glad of it,"
A difficulty between the murderer and
the victim in the past, is the only dis.
coverable proyocation for the crime.
Roberts behavior is that of a maniac
rather than that of a sane man.

given Professor Willetts in a letter from

mate and conditions are thought to be
favorable in America for linen produc-

In tones to haunt all future years

What was the Original Shamrock PA
Clover or a Wood Sorrel?

Clover or a Wood Sorrel?
The emblem OF Ireland is not known by
it's flower, but by it's leaves, says the "Prai.
RE Farmer" The tradition runs that st.
Patrick, when preachiDgin Ireland, gathered
the leaves OF this plant, which contains
three lobes, or leaves, and thus illustrates
the Holy Trinity. Bentham, in his "Brit-
ish Flora" says that oxalis acetocella, or
wood sorrel, is the original shamrock, hav-
ing pale pink or nearly white flowers. This
is quite plentiful in the woods, and in a
climate like Ireland easy enough to obtain
on the 18th of March, the day that all
Irishmen like to have a few sprigs for their
bu~tton.holes or on the cap or bonnet.
Others contend hat the original plant is
a clover, and the common white or Dutch
clover is the plant that at present, at least,
is the commonly accepted plant called
shamrock. There are varieties of this plant
that have larger leaves than the common
clover, one with dark brown. the other with
purplish leaves, with q zone in Zach leaf.
This appears the kind most acceptable for
the purpose.
This plant is the heath oil the English,
