NO MORE MONEY
From the Young Ireland Parlia-

Something must be done to revive the
rapidly waning interest in this organiza-
tion," said J. Deasy in addressing a meet
ing of the Young Ireland Parliamentary
Club held last evening at X. r. B. Hall.
1.-The club is going to pieces ON the rock of
dscOrd. We are organized to assist finan-
cially our suffering brethren across the
water. For the past I've years we have con-
tTibuted $1,000 annually to the Parliamentary
Fund. This offering must for the present
cease ana the wall from suffering Ireland
fall upon unheeding ears. The present
state of affairs is easily accounted for.
Members will not pay money into the treas
ury or identify themselves with the organi-
zatiOn. when they believe that the money
given is expended in local contention. and
not used to assist the struggle against the
common enemy and ppressor-Eng gland
The present state of affairs at home has
served to divide opinion here in America
aud in this club. As under the constitution
we are organized Tor the sole purpose of
necessary to revise the constitution i'll order
to preserve the life of the society,""
The following committee was appointed
to take this matter under advisemcnt and

Saved His Position.

Many amusing stories are told of j. B.
McCullagh. the editor of the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, and his eccentricitieS have
given newspaper men matter for many a
hearty laugh. One of the mo st ludicrous of
these occurred some time ago. 1t seems
that a murder mystery of more than usual
interest was attracting the attention of the
reading public, and McCullagh had detailed
Cliff Sanders, weli-kuown reporter, to
work on the case. For weeks the detectives
sought to unravel the mystery and were
about to give up in despair, when reporter
OF the ST. Louis Republic Numbered by ac-
cident on the murdererS, and he result was
that Sanders and the Globe Democrat were
badly scooped. When Sanders discovered
it he made up his mind that he would be
discharged, and lie accordingly dropped
down to the Office on the following day in
fear and trembling. He stepped into a
saloon on the way to screw his courage up.
and when he reached the foot of the stair
way leading to the editorial rooms he was
feeling quite brave. Footsteps descending
caused him TO pause, however but when he
saw it was the dramatic editor he bright
ened up.
Hello, Cliff exclaimed the latter cheer
lily. "It's lucky you're late, for the old
man has just fred the railroad editor for
that big SCOOP this morning He's cooled
down now, so you can 20 in without any
risk"
just what connection the railroad editor
had with it was never discovered, but he
CHANGED to be The first on hand, and he lost
his position. 1t took him seven months 10
convince McCullagh that he had been i'll

if adopted was calculated to kill the bill.
This aroused the ire of Hawes, who ri sing
in his seat said: Mr.. President, we are
all familiar with that harmless looking

it is partly mechanical. A man of mean
ability may be so trained as to guide it

it actually costs tritie over % cents to

lover in Germany" said a prominent
Republican at the Occidental last night,
"they carry the doctrine Of protection to
much greater extent than was ever dreamed
of in this country. There, you understand,
the railroads are owned by the Government,
and they are made to play a prominent
part in the protection of home industries.
The freight tariffs are so arranged that
goods OF foreign manufacture are made to
ray charges nearly dOuble the amount
levied upon those made in Germany, so that
it is almost impossible for the outside
world to compete with them. In other
words the freight rates from the frontiers
are nearly double those toward the from
