LA MODELO


Baio el sol de un hermoso dia del mes
de Julio, descansaba perezosa la peque-
ia poblaci6n de Etretat, con sus scantl-
lados blancos y su extenso mar azul.

En- la terraza del Casino, infnidad de
muieres semeiaban un bellislmo Jardin
de traies, en- el que brillaban a la luz
del cielo las sombrillas roJas y azules
con grandes flores bordadas en- seda.
Por Il paseo Immediate a la terraza
cireulaban con paso lento otras personals
aleiadas del bullicio general.
Un ioven muy conocido celebre, el
pintor Juan Summer, caminaba con
aire triste, al lado de un cochecillo de

The Tory and Orange press has often
pointed with pride to the prosperity OF
Ulster which they attribute to the fact
that the people in that province are SUI
per1or to those in the other parts OF the
island. The prosperity Of Ulster is 8 fic-
ton. Taking the valuation per capita OF
the population, Ulster comes third on
the list among the four provinces. Uls-
ter has more than third OF the whole
number of the poorest class OF houses
in Ireland, aud of the miserable agri-
cultural holdings it has not only the
largest number, but more than Munster
and Leinster pat together. During the
last forty years over million emigrants
left prosperous" Ulster to improve their
condition in foreign lands. Outside OF
Belfast the majority of the people OF
Ulster are eagerly desiring self-govern-
ment. and their vote in the next election
will be given to Gladstone.

The North comes to the defense of
Gov. Nelson from the attacks made upon
him by certain state journals for his ab-
sence from he editorial dedication of the
Minnesota building at the Worlds Fair.
The North says that the dedication was
unauthorized and that Knute Nelson was
not invited to be present; in fact, that
he knew nothing about it, and had &C.
-pted an invitation to deliver an address
at the Norwegian celebration on the same
day. In reply to the charge that the
governor had found plenty of time to
speak to his own countrymen and no
time for Minnesotians, The North says
that If he had been addressing the Irish
instead of the Norwegians no objection
would be raised against his action. The
IRISH STANDARD has found no fault with
Knute Nelson since his inauguration as
governor of Minnesota, but as The North
has seen fit to drag the Irish into this
controversy it may be as we'll to inform
our esteemed contemporary that Coy.
Nelson has found no time to attend any
Irish meeting held in St. Paul or Mime
apol1s since his occupancy Of the gnber-
material chair, though he has been invited
on several occasions to preside and aid
the Home Rule cause by his presence.

THE Scotch Irish congress which re-
Gently convened in Springfield, ., ad-
journed without saying word on irish
Home Rule. A Rev. Samuel Llsh, hall
ing from Toronto, the hot-bed OF Orange
ism, presented greetings from Canadian
brethren and made the remarkable dec
laration that the United States is the
greatest country on earth, and that no
saw no reason why Canada and the
United States should not be one nation.
His Orange fellow subjects in Toronto
will not relish such language as that. In
their epinioa England is the greatest
country on this terrestrial planet, and
they would die first before consenting to
the separation of Canada from the Brit
ieh empire to become annexed to thls
"blawsted"' country. We fear that Rev.
Lish has rendered himself very uppopr-
lar with his townsnen for uttering such
reasonable language on American soil.

HUGH O'NE1LL, oneof the greatest and
most picturesque patriots of Ulster, died
the other day at the age of %. He was
the organizer of Ulster under O'Connell
and the first leading Irishman of Ulster
to link his fortunes with Davitt and Par
nell in the early days of the land league.
Like most Irishmen he suffered severely
for his patriotism. He was finished
scholar, fine speaker and fearless pa
triot. O'Connell, Butt, Shiel, Parnell,
Davitt, Dillon, O'Brien, Mccarthy, Sex
ton and Healy conferred with him on the
most important questions Of their time.
He. always took q leading part in the
councils Of the nation. He leaves three
sons, p. O'NeiIl, on the Irish estate, John
O'Neill, Of Boston, and Hugh O'Neill,
who is Cow q rising young lawyer Of the
Chicago bar.

SAYS the Canadian Freeman: Foreign
ers in the United States must swear ale
glance to that country Or they will be de-
MED citizenship. Our thousands OF
Canadians who have crossed the line will
have to abandon all their loyalty to the
British Empire and swear that they will
bear arms in case of war against the place
of their birth before they can be natural
lied. Judge Hindman, of Boone, Iowa,
refused the other day to grant papers to
a Dane named Peter Slmonson, because
when he asked the aspirant for citizen
ship whether or not he would, in case of
war between the United States and
Denmark, bear arms for his adopted
country against his native land, Simon
son declared that he would lot. There
upon the Judge refused to naturalize
him, stating that 'sthe time had arrived
when no person would be aided in this
court to become citizen unless he was
willing to stand by the government under
all circumstances and at all times. When
q man becomes an American citizen he
must stand ready to defend the starry
flag against any other; no half hearted
lovers of liberty need apply"

TIE Orangemen Of the United States
will hold convention in this city next
month. They will undoubtedly proclaim
their valor and patriotism in the usual
style and toast the memcry Of the pious,
glorious and immortal" William of
Orange. It would be interesting to learn
from some of the "patriots' what they
have ever done for God and country on
either side of the Atlantic. How many
regiments did they muster in defense Of
this country during the Civil War? His
tory does not record that drop of
Orange blood was ever she'd in the cause
of American liberty. William of Orange
and not George Washington is the idol
of these foreign bigots.

A BELGIAN linen manufacturer who is
at present in the Northwest told q
Pioneer Press representative the other
day that Irish linen is half cotton and is
an inferior article compared with the
linen manufactured in Belgium. The
flax used in Ireland is imported from
Belgium, he said, and all the pure linen
fabrics used in the United States are i'm
ported from Belgium and not from Ire
land. It is a rather remarkable thing, he
continued, that while Belgium supplies
the United States nith linen, the United
States supplies Belgium with cotton. If
what the Belgian says be true, Ulster or
Orange linen is not the superior article
which many in this country supposed it
to be.

The Protestant patriots of Ulster have

tain named James Gilmore, living at
Bal]ywalter, County Down, received the

that you and twelve of your Ballywalter
inhabitants have signed the Home Rule
manifesto. I want you to apologize for
this rash act in the Belfast News Letter
and Evening Telegraph before May S,
and if not we will make the Boyne over

will then set your house on fire, and the

LAST Thursday week as Gladstone was
travelling by train from London to Ches-
ter heavy missile was thrown at his
compartment. 1t struck the window OF
the next car which was occupied by the
Dean of Chester. 1t smashed the glass
and struck the cushion few inches from
the Deans head. No arrest has been

THE SWEDISH REFORMATION


For the first three days. of the week a
Swedish Lutheran jubilee was held in this
city to commemorate the establishment
of the Lutheran religion in Sweden by the
king, aristocracy and prelates of that
country at the council of Upsala in 1898
Among those present at the jubilee we're
B shop Van Scheele, OF Sweden, and Gov.
Nelson, of this state. The former was
present as the representative of King
Oscar the head of the Lutheran church
in Sweden. The bishop wore the insignia
of his office, golden cross suspended on
a golden chain around his neck. He is
an aristocrat by birth and holds the high
est rank in the church from King Oscar.
The jubilee sermon was preached by Rev
Dr. Norelius, the Oldest Lutheran minis
tor in this state, who gave comprehen
sive account OF the introduction of Luth-
eranism into Sweden, aud spoke of what
great things the Almighty had done for
his forefathers in liberating them from
1.-THE Babylonian or Roman captivity and
giving them true evangelical liberty"
He referred to the Roman papacy as
"mere human institution which had ar
rogated to itself the highest prerogatives
of EARTH" and was thankful that the
Swedish people were released from it's
tyranny. Anyone who has attentively
read about the reformation in Sweden
cannot see that God had anything to do
with it's establishment in that country.
1t was the work of Gustai Vasa, the
king, and he forced the reformation upon
his subjects with an army OF foreign mer
cenaries. Like Henry VIII. of England
he was violent in his temper and addicted
to hard swearing when angry. he had
three wives, and he fastened the death of
one of them by striking her on the head
with hammer He possessed none of
the characteristics of genuine apostle
of the true religion He confscsted all
the church property and banished the
Catholic bishops and clergy who would
not conform to the new faith He made
himself the head of the church and acted
the part OF tyrant by coercing his sub
jects to give up their faith and adopt
the Lutheran doctrine. The Lutheran
church in Sweden is "a mere human in
stitution" imposed on the people at the
poin1 the bayonet. God did not select
such man as Vasa for his ambassadors;
