soul"of the poet, the warm. the impetu-
ons ielcqueDce and classic dictiop OF the

stereOptican views are as charming as
the beauties Of nature, eiiciting a con-

N ent of his hearers. Prof. Eagan IS "a
typical son OF the Emerald Isle. He is
attached to the land of his birth with

Protestant parents, was educated in The
Anglican belief and became a jealous

ministerial work in Ireland he came to-
the United States where he selected the
State OF California as the field for his
Jealous missionary labors. But like
another N ewman, a Manning, q Faber,
Browus0n, and so many others
he became a convert to the Catholic
church After his conversion he re-
turned to Ireland and spent nine years
Of active labor in the cause Of Irish pol

sonal acquaintance with the Irish par
liamenta; ians, with Parnell, Sullivan,
Sexton. Dillon. O'Kelley. O'Buen,
Healy and the rest. HIS utterances on
the Irish cause have the weight OF au-
