The news cabled from Dublin that
James Stephens had gone back there
to spend the remnant of his life is of
great sentimental interest to Irishmen
everywhere if not of much practical i'm
portance to their national cause.
When the news was first announced
it was believed that the homecoming
might be thing of considerable impor-
lance Stephens openly gave degree
of support to Charles Stewart Parnell,
the great "Home Rule" leader. There
was reason to think that he intended to
WELD a considerable secret influence in
his behalf among the revolutionary So
cieties of the country. Mr.. ParnelPs.
untoward death destroys his alliance,
throwing the undivided control OF the
parliamentary party into the hands of
the McCarthyites, with whom Stephens
can have no possible sympathy. The
tragic event may render Stephens ap-
pearance in Dublin of no Importance
whatever.
His return to Ireland until Parnell's
death overshadowed it was the subject
of much speculation among Irishmen
here, for, as yet, the inside facts have
not reached this side of the Atlantic.
There is some reason to think he pro-
posed to give certain degree Of sup
port to Mr.. Parnell. There is an or
ganization in Dublin known as the
Young Ireland society in which John
O'Leary is the moving spirit. I need
not tell Irishmen who he is, but for the
benefit of American readers may say
that he was one of the Fenian leaders
of the original conspiracy. He was the
editor of the revolutionary organ, the
Irish People, which was suppressed in
1865, and he served five years impris-
onment and was an exile fourteen.
Abhorring assassination, the use Of dy-
Mantle and all other methods unwar-
ranted by the laws of civilized war,
he still believes that total separation
from England, absolute independence,
is the only cure for Ireland's ills, and
he thinks it is right and good that
sooner or later the people should revolt
and fight for the end. Meanwhile, he
and his society are willing that every
possible gain should be made by par
liamentary agitation. He for years
gave Mr.. Parnell certain degree of
support. Since Mr.. Parnell's split with
Davitt and the McCarthyites, O'Leary
became one of his most ardent sup
porters.
Stephens career has been a remark
able one. A little more moral courage and
there is no telling where it would have

AN incubator for prematurely born
infants is the latest Boston invention
which has been successfully utilized.
The apparatus is simple box, in the
upper part of which the child is laid,
while underneath are placed cans of
heated water. A child of Bernard Fritz
of Cambridgeport is living witness of
the success of this method of treatment.
1t was born three months before time
and was as unpromising a subject as
could be selected. The box used is 80
inches long, 10 inches wide and 80
inches high. 1t has a glass cover and
holes at the top and bottom for ventila-
ton. The bed is in the upper portion,
while below four quart milk cans filled
with hot water were kept, maintaining
the temperature of the tiny bedchamber
at 80 degrees. The child lived and
throve for three months, being removed
only for bathing and change CT bed. 1t
was fed from bottle. 1t is now nine
months old and is plump and hearty.
1t weighed less than three pounds at
birth and now weighs sixteen pounds.

she Assaults a Chicago Editor Who Re-

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Ann O'Delia Diss
Debar, now known as Vera Ava, sprung
a new sensation by creating lively
scene in the Office of Major J. G. Bundy,
editor Of the Religious Philosophical
Journal"
The obese humbug claimed to be a
spiritualist and had some acquaintance
with Bundy. She called at his ONCE
and in the course of brief conversation
expressed a wish to kiss him.
The Major had no desire to smack
Vera's warm, red lips and told her so.
She at once attacked him and scratched
his face, and would have done him worse
damage had she not been overpowered
and elected from the building.

WICKED YALE MEN
They Entice Away the Chorus
Girls of an Opera Troupe.
ONE OF THE MAIDS YET MISSING.
The College Faculty Trying Hard to Dis
cover the Guilty Students.

The Performances OF the "ShiP Alloy"
cause of the Lark of Eight of the Pretty
Chorus Girls--Miss Proctor, of Brook
lyn, an Understudy, Not Yet Back.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. A.-The
''Ship Ahoy'' Company has been in des
perate straits since its appearance here
this week, owing to the disappearance
of eight of the prettiest and best
chorus girls, without which the chorus
was entirely disabled.
Yale students are the cause of the
trouble. They enticed away the girls.
Seven of them, however, became repent
ant and have returned to the company.
Miss Proctor, of Brooklyn, an under
study, is still missing.
Every effort is being made by the stu
dents and the Yale faculty to suppress
the story. They have denied the affair,
but the truth of the matter is that the
giddy girls of the opera company were
lured away from the stage and their en-
gagements by the wiles of the wicked
collegians.
The affair first came to light through
the manager of the company, who had
his hands full trying to get along with
half chorus in Bridgeport, where the
company played the night after leaving
New Haven. The faculty of Yale have
been investigating on the sly and are
trying to ascertain if Miss Proctor, of
Brooklyn, who is still missing is in New
Haven. All efforts so far have proved
| fruitless.
The students set up a defence the
minute the story was made public that
they could all prove alibis, and that not
collegian had been absent from New
Haven for night
That's the easiest thing to get over,
however. Bridgeport is only half an
hours ride from New Haven, and trains
run very frequently, AS the actresses
were to play two nights at Bridgeport it
gave the boys no end of opportunities to
keep the pretty people of ship Alloy
| in the immediate vicinity of Yale with
out much danger of their being found
out.
Undoubtedly the girls were lured
away directly after the performance, and
the revelry which followed lasted a
couple of days, during which every one
entangled was within 30 miles of New
Haven.
If the students who thus took part in
breaking up the dramatic company tenn
porarily are found out it will go hare
with them. But the chances are they
will not be discovered.

THE bit of "jipgoism" displayed by
the administration on alleged private in
formation that England was about to
gobble up the Hawaiian islands with the
consent of the present rulers of the
islands, was unexpectedly but effectu-
ally settled by gentleman who visited
Washington this week. This gentleman
was A. S. Cleghorn, the collector gen
eral of customs of the Hawaiian islands,
and father of the heir apparent to the
Hawaiian throne, who said: II have
assured the president and the state de-
partment that no government is SO close
to Hawaii as the United States, in spite
of our trade with you being somewhat
damaged by your new tariff law, and
that there is no thought among our
people, who are perfectly satisfied with
our present status, of anything even
looking toward British supremacy on
the islands,"
