DR., Cahill's Opinion Of Daniel o Council as
an Irish National Leader.
DR.. sCahlll, the great pulpit orator,
controyersial,st and lecturer, cham
pioned the cause of Ireland for years
until his voice was hushed in death
about quarter of century ago in the
city of Boston. When dying he re-
quested that his remains be conveyed to
ireland. and in accordance with the pa
triot's wishes his sacred ashes were re-
moved from their temporary resting
place by his admirers several years after
his death and carried across the ocean to !.
Glasnevin cemetery where they now re- {:
pose near the o Cornell monument. A.
noble statue by an Irish sculptor stands.
over his grave and faces the tomb OF the:
Irish Liberator whom he eulogized in
life in the following eloquent words:
Wherever an Irishman is placed all
the world over, he boasts of the name OF
O'Connell. That name ia raised higher
in our national history than the eternal
mountains Of our country, and it will
last as long in imperishable existence;
and when the Romans talk OF their Ci- >
Zero, and the Greeks of their Demos
themes, we point to the Irish forum and
the British Senate, to name that has
rivaled the one in classic clog uence, that
has equalled the other in patriotic fire,
and that has surpassed both in national
virtues. And not alone has Ireland
learned from him the science of freedom
and the art of national Independence; he
has taught all the nations OF the earth,
by the science of reform, by a moral and
peaceful combination. He placed him
self at the head of ideas-not soldiers;
he took the commandment cannon; and
| by the triumph of reason he gained VIC
tories such as no conqueror ever ac-
hieved by the flashing sword or the
thunders of artillery. Twenty-three
French peers, with Count Mountelaln-
bert at their head, presented to him
humble address, in which, after Offering
to MIN their homage, they acknowledged
that he had invented a new political
strategy; that he was the author Of
new principle of national reform; that he
had discovered a mighty plan, by which
the greatest advantages to man could
eventually be acquired by the steady ap-
plication of the primary laws of Goo, and
that, by carrying out his ideas, the conf
bination of mems hearts would be in
the end more successful than the united
terrors OF the sanguinary steal. FROM
Ireland, as from q professors chair, hs
delivered his lessons to universal man
kind-all the nations Of the earth were
his people; and his voice was heard from
East to West, from North to South, and
for half a century along the boundless
horizon. No man can ever again take
his place. He filed the whole world
with his fame-he was the liz ar
skies, the undying creation c !. 90,
the ornament of our race, and tlls :, 'er-
ishable monument to the name and ar
acter Of Ireland.

ACONCERTED KICK
Opponents of Free Lead, Coal, Iron
= Ore and Lumber Are Trying
to Unite
In Concentrated Effort to Secure
n Changes in the Wilson Bill in
the Senate.
Some Talk ola Substitute When the
Wilson Bill Reaches the Up
per House.

WAsHfNGToN, Dec. 81. The prospects
are that those persons who are opposing
the free raw materials in the Wilson
bill, coal, iron and lead ore, lumber etc.,
will concentrate their efforts to secure
changes in the bill in the senate. Delega-
tons representing these various inter
ests will be here during the coming week
to begin their work. Democrats, as far
as possible are being delegated to make
these protests. John M. Burke of Idaho,
the advance guard of the lead men, is
here, and will be joined in a few days
by others representing the. states of
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and the
territory of Utah. Mr.. Burke says that
free lead ore will absolutely paralyze
the mining industry of the states and
territory named. Mr.. Burke was the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Idaho in the last campaign, If the duty
on lead ore can not be retained, in part
at least, by the Wilson bill, these lead
miners will ask for the restoration of the
duty of 2 cents on pig lead, reduced by
the Wilson bill to cent. An effort will
be made on the part of the representa-
tives of the several interests to combine
so as to secure concerted action, but
whether a combination can be effected
is very uncertain.

"a Love For the Kepnb,io..

The millions Of dollars which, under
free trade, this country would pay for
commodities to the old world would
help to defray the expenses Of maintain
ing lnonarchies, hostile armies and
fleets, and it would largely come from
our workingmen. Itwould take en-
ployment from our people and tak6
bread from the mouths of their wives
and children. Theorists take no &C.
count of this, but practical men ask
what good can come to us from robbing
our own people purely in the interest
of nations that would like to see our
republic destroyed a-l the trial of self
government prove ! failure. Protec-
ton subordinates the scheme and poll
cies of foreign countries to our own

About OpaIs.

The prejudice against opals appears to
be disappearing. Anyhow they are pop
plar. There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious, or noble, or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the colors,
and when these colors are broken into
spangles it is then called the harlequin
opal. Phen comes the FIRE opal, or gira-
sole, with hyacinth red and yellow refec-
ton. The former comes from Hungary.
the latter from Mexico, The common.
or senriopals, are nonopaleseent. The n.y.
drophane. or oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes SO by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and of blu
ish white color The hYalite is colo ess.
pellufid and white. The opal jasper or
wood opal Is the petrifaction of wood,
opalescent, but without the coloring
which makes the .'nobler gem SO pre-
cious. Chicago Tribune. :

Three Lives Sacrificed to the Super
etitions Of the Mojave Indians In
California.
Mother of Twins Cremated and the
Brains Of the Babies Dashed Out
With Clubs.
She Was, According to Mojave Super
stition, Witch and In League
With Satan.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Dec. PA hor-
fible story with wild laws and the SUI
persition of the Mojave Indians is told
BY j A. Saunders, who arrived from
The Needles, a town on the Colorado
river, on the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
way He had heard the details just be-
fore ne took the train, and they seem to
be corroborated by an account given in
local paper The Eye, which he brought
with him. The Mojave Indian reserya-
ton is about half mile from The
Needles, and the aborigines are virtually
their own masters, having their own
laws and superstitions. From Saunders
account, on Tuesday last triple MUIR
der was committed, under plea of a
tradition by the Indian. One of the
prettiest squaws of the tribe, known as
"Loneta," was married, according to
the savage rites, about a year ago.
Twins the Offense. -
She was comedy girl, only 10 years
old, and had picked up some education.
Her l6sband was one of the braves and
apparently very fond of her. Sunday
last she gave birth to twins, and as re-
suit great pow-wow was called, for ac-
cording to the Mojave tradition, the
squaw who has twins is a witch and q
consort of evil spirits. The penalty has
always been death for babies and mother.
Loneta's husband was so fond of her,
however, that he made strong plea for
her babies, but it was of no avail. The
medicine man held that the old custom
must be observed, and the two
little ones were brought for
ward and Drained with club.
Loneta was kept for
More Trying Ordeal, Il.
which she suffered without complaint.
Every one of her personal belongings
were gathered and put into her ''shack'
and she was ordered inside. She bid her
husband farewell and went in. The
entrance was closed, straw and brush
were piled around the frail structure
and fired, and in two hours nothing but
a few embers remained to tell the tragic
story. Officers at the Needles learned
the facts too late to interfere, and the
poor squaw with this horrid torture
passed to the happy hunting grounds,
where her ill-starred offspring had pre-
coded her, ..-
