COME TO CALVARY
An Address Issued to the Irish
by the Cronin Com
mittee.
They Are Urged to Honor the
Memory of Patrick Henry
Cronin.
May A the Anniversary of the Most
Atrocious and Cold Biooded
Crime Ever Committed
In Chicago.

| CHICAGO, April 26.-Every worshiper
at each of the services held in all the
Catholic churches of the city tomorrow
will be presented with a copy of an adj
dress issued by the Cronin committee.
1t will read as follows:
Friends and Fellow Citizens: Come
to Central Music hall May 3. Come to
Calvary cemetery May 4. Your charac-
ter, the honor of your race and the in
terests OF the Irish national cause are at
stake. You can best yindicate all three
by honoring the memory of a man
b lost his life in their defense and
who sealed his devotion with his blood.
The night of May 4, 1850, Patrick Henry
Cronin was foully murdered in the Carl
son cottage by misguided members of
his own race instigated by the worst
enemies the Irish cause has eyer en-
countered for more than a century.
The name OF that sacred cause was
prostituted by political bandits so that
their dishonesty and treachery might
be covered up by the false outcry that
the man who would expose their crime
was a British spy.
His body, still bearing the cmblems
OF his religious faith, was flung into a
sewer. Confident that its loathsome
surroundings would insure speedy de-
composition, the miscreants who
planned the murder then set TO work to
blast their victims character by a sys-
tenn OF diabolical lying unparalleled in
modern history. The proyidential dis
covery of the body, and it's complete
Identification by hundreds of friends
eighteen days later, and the subsequent
recovery of the murdered mans clothes
and surgical instruments, served to
partially Illustrate this monstrous con-
spiracy. But it still lives and plots
against the law of the land, and against
your good name and dearest interests.
The real murderers of DIR. Cronin are
still at large, and their crime still cries
TO heaven for vengeance"
The address concludes by saying that
ON the anniversary of the most atrocious
and coldblooded crime ever committed
IN this community the remains OF DR..
Cronin will be taken from the vault and
placed in the grave that has been Sc
lected as its final resting place. Appro-
pirate religious services will mark the
event. On the evening before there
Will be a mass meeting at Central Music
hall, where the true story of the facts
OF his life and of the conspiracy that
comprised his death will be told. Sew
eral Catholic priests Of national reputa-
tlon viii be among the speakers.

Now I'm a Russian Prison,

LONDON, April 26.-Reliable advices
have been received here from Madame
Tschebrikova, the noted Russian wo-
man Of letters, who was banished some
months ago for writing a warning letter
to the a She is o at Penza in the
Caucasus under strict military ~surveil-
lance and otherwise we'll treated. She
was taken to this place, a distance of
several thousand miles, in a vehicle
resembling an English prison van with
out windows, and escorted by an at
tachment Of dragons. The journey
was marked by great privation, and
would have killed a less hardy woman.
Nine. Tschebrikova survived, however,
and is represented to be in good health

Settlement.
CHICAGO, April 26.-In an interview
today President Goldie, of the Carpen.
ters and Builders association, said:
1--WE shall insist on our right to employ
whom we please and will never consent
to have an agent of the union on each
job who will run our business and fix
wages, etc, and through whom we must
apply to the union every time we want
a carpenter"
A representative Of the carpenters
union said. 1--WE cannot concede the
right of employers to force us to work
with non-union men," Whether the
several conferences to be held this af-
ternoon will mark the beginning of the
settlement of the strike seems to de-
pend upon a degree which each side il
willing TO recede from its original
position. The eight.hour day has been
conceded by the bosses, and 1t is un.
ierstood there will be no quarrel over
wages. The hitch, however, will come
on the recognition Of the union by
agreeing to their working rules, the
apprentice system and the employment
of only union men.

ST.. LOUIS, April 26.-A Gainesville,
Tex, special to the Post-Dispatch says
a cloud burst struck the city last night
lasting four hours and deluging the
country to the depth of several feet.
The loss to the property will be heavy,
as the whole country was deluged and
crops ruined. The storm was the heav-
lest eve known in this section. Large
washouts have occurred on all railroads
in this vicinity, and 1t will be several
days before trains can run. The only
loss of life was that OF a woman, who
died in the arms Of . man who was car
