At the dinner given in New York the
other night by the Friendly Sons of st.
Patrick, Joseph H. ChOate stirred up a
great deal of feeling by his speech. He
suggested that the Irish politicians
present having learned how to govern
this country should go with their wives
and children back to their original
home. land there and strike the blow.
Then, indeed said he, would Ireland
be for IriShmen and America for
Americans"

A good idea of the extreme rapidity of the
movement of the wheels of justice is given by
the following interview between a lawyer and a
client who had brought suit against somebody
for sum of money to which he was honestly
entitled. The story is told by prominent attOr-
ney in the city, and for the sake of discount, is
Endorsed by another. The client visited his law
yer one day in the spring and said:
"Wel our case comes off next week. and of
course we will win. and l will get my money,
won't -"
mot necessarily at Once,'' replied the lawyer.
"Why not? - was the next question.
"Well. if we win. the court will grant stay for
20 days.
"What is that fOr?''
Just to let the other side find out whether
they want to appeal or not
but if they appeal, what will happen then? :"
1.-The case will be argued before the supreme
court, which meets next October"
Well, then can depend ON getting my money
next October. can't I?''
"NO-o-o. l wouldn't place any dependence on
it, for the supreme court may reverse the decis-
ion of the lower court, in which case, the whole
thing would have to be tried over again: or, your
case might be set late on the calendar and not
come up before February?''

February, Sure?"
"NO-O-o. The court then may q ant stay for
10 days, if everything has not been decided your
way.'
But what is that stay fOr?''
ITO give the other fellow time to put his prop
erty in his wfe's name, or so transfer it that you
cannot touch it,
When he started the suit, the client thought
the recovery of his money mere Joke, but when
he thought over the costs, and the time involved,
he figured that it was carrying joke too far, and
was perfectly satisfied when he received check
from his lawyer for $615 for an original claim of
$72S Minneapolis Journal.

Music at the worlds Fair.

Mr.. Thomas has resigned his position
as director of music at the worlds fair.
He has done SO manfully and without
any reply to the mean and malignant
personal abuse which has been heaped
upon him for policy for which he was
not responsible. If there be any sense
of Justice or fairness in this community,
saws the Chicago Tribune, there will
be reaction in his favor against this
unexsmpled persecution. The con-
tracts with his magnificent orchestra
have been cancelled. The music halls
will be closed or used as bazaars.
The latter course should be adopted, as
it will be d shame to let these build
ings lie idle. The engagements with
foreign musicians and with choruses
in different parts of this country also
have been Cancelled. There is now
nothing left of the bureau of music ex-
cept it's choral director, who has DO
chorus to direct, its secretary, who has
no duties to perform, and mute
organ, which might as well be locked
up. The wreck Of the bureau is as com
plete as its worst enemies could have
desired

the Future of the west indies.

As a field for colonization by Euro
peans and more particularly by British
settlers tho West Indies cannot be recon-
mended. On the loftiest slopes of the
Blue mountains Of Jamaica a limited
area may perhaps be found where
northern race might enjoy a suitable
climate. In the lowlands near the sea
the white man could not live and work.
In the highlands of the interior, work
ing in the morning and evening, he could
easily accomplish seven hours day OF
hard labor.
Jamaica is an island in which the e1-
pertinent Of colonization for our surplus
population might safely be tried on a
small scale. The promoters of the rail-
way now being constructed, partially on
the laAl grant scheme, would probably
be glad to cooperate in carrying out a
project Of the nature indicated. In the
Cayman islands, with 1929 inhabitants,
two populations are to be seen side by
side. The white population numbers
1,602, the colored 1,72S, and the black
992. The whites have been settled more
than a century, and have been a thriving
and vigorous people. 1t is an important
fact to notice that mixed or colored
race cannot perpetuate itself. The chill
dren are wanting in stamina and consti-
tuition.
Taking broad view. these lovely is
lands are only suited to a tropical race
such as the negroes, and for these they
may be made an earthly paradise. Left
to themselves the people might rapidly
Degenerate. Under British rule we may,
in not distant future, confidently hope
to see the black population Of our West
India islands living in prosperous cir
cumstances, with all the markets Of the
world open to their useful products,
good customers to the British manufac-
turer, bound to the British empire by the
strongest ties Of gratitude, and raised to
condition of enlightenment and civili-
zation only as yet attained by few men
who have been greatly favored.-Lord
Brassey in Fortnightly Review.

COULDN'T TALK ENGLISH.
But the Little Esquimau Maiden Could
Make Emphatic Gestures.

But the Little EsQutmau Maiden CouIo
Make Emphatic Gestures.
The Esquimau girls on the worlds
fair grounds can't speak word of
English, but that does not prevent
them from holding a pantominiic con-
versation with every wel-dressed
stranger who halts at their quaint bark
houses.
One little girl of fourteen, who has
round, fat face and black eyes, creates
no end of amusement with her gestures
and funny ways.
Thinking to have some fun with her
a Young man with checks on his,
clothes as large as Columbian half
dollar tickled her under the chin the
other day. A moment later he re-
GREETED the act, for the dark skinned
girl from Labrador suddenly twined
both arms around his;neck and planted
kiss on his ruby lips that might have
been heard at the Fisheries building.
The young mans face turned lob
ster hue as he darted through crowd
that made the village echo with their
outbursts of laughter.

But Her Dream Was Realized.

Once upon time a girl was seized
with the bicycle mania. Thatwa three
years ago, when mammas were not quite
SO liberal minded as they are now. A
rich aunt threatened to disown her, and
the rest Of the relatives raised chorus
of disapproval whenever she mentioned
the subject. For the sake of peace and
quiet the dear, self sacrificing girl gave
up the bicycle idea, although every sea-
son she suffered terribly whenever she
saw girl OH a wheel. About week
ago she asserted her rights and took her
savings for three years and invested
them in bicycle. Every morning she
disappeared for several hours and re-
turned home with bandaged fingers, torn
skirts, u banged in hat, a sour temper
and painful limp.
Yesterday she invited the family to
assemble at certain riding school to see
her perform. She nimbly mounted, spun
around the hall twice, jumped off and
on with the agility Of a young kitten
and excited the admiration Of the whole
crowd.
Then some ofhcious person said, "Go
around the other way"
She had always practiced in the one
direction, but such trihe did not worry
her, so she wheeled around and rode of
like runaway cable car. When che ar
rived at the first turn, there was terri
BILE crash, shrek, resounding crack
made by her head coming in contact
with the floor, and then all was still.
The family had her taken home in an
ambulance, and she has already made
arrangements to have the machine
patched up and sold at half price.
It only cost her about s125 to have her
dream realized. Chicago Record.

Claims for Prize Money.


From 1862 to 1874 no less. than $4,000
claims for prize money were recorded at
the Treasury. These did not by any
means represent the number of shares
in captured vessels applied for. inasmuch
as many applications covered several cap
lures in each case. The most successful
chasers of blockade runners were not
warships, but merchant steamers bought
and armed by the government for this
purpose Among these the Quaker City,
the Rhode Island, the Kennebec, and the
r. H. R. Cyler were conspicuous Several
of the admirals in the late war won for
tunes of 800, 900 and upward by. such
lucky strikes. Among them was Admiral
Almy, now a resident of Washington,
who on two successive days took two of
the most valuable prizes captured during
the rebellion. They were worth $40, 900,
his share of the proceeds being $50, 900.
Another rich capture was the stephen
Hart. which was scooped in by small
sailing vessel. In that instance each
blue Jacket concerned got 81, 900. But
the most profitable prize of all was the
GREYHOUND, which fetched $242, 900. OF
this sum one-tenth went to the COM
mander of the ship which made the cap
ture-a fairly good afternoons work,
most people would think.
According to law, when United States
vessel captures craft of less force than
its own, the officers and crew Of the cap
tor get one-half Of the net proceeds OBJ
tanned from the sale of the ship taken.
The other half goes into the. navy pen
sion fund, which will be spoken of later.
When the vessel taken is of force equal
to or greater than that Of the captor, the
latter receives the whole of the proceeds.
An instance of this sort was that OF the
Northern Light, transport belonging
to old Cornelius Vanderbilt, which on
a certain occasion was bringing soldiers
up the Atlnatic coast On board of her
was one officer of the United States navy.
AS they passed sea port steamer hove
id sight. The naval officer said that she
was a blockade runner, and suggested
that an attempt should be made to
frighten her In pursuance of this idea
the Northern Light fired her solitary
gun, gave chase and hoised Union colors.
The blockade runner, installing the
comedy for serious business, surrendered.
Cornelius Vanderbilt got share of the
prize money
