William Lyman, president of the newly
formed Irish National alliance, was born
in the county Of Ruscommun, ireland,
where his father was a well to do farmer
He is a man of much force of character,
quiet in manner but aggressive in AIM
and To these qualities doubtless is due his
prominence within the last few years in
the Irish national circles to which he has
allied himself He came to this country,
landing in Boston, whom he was l3 years
old and is now IL. He learned the bust
ness of u plumber, and after working at
II for a few years went back to Ireland,
but only remained there about six months.
He then went to New York, whore he has
Ii 5cd for the last 20 years, and has made IA
fortune rs a builder and contractor.
Mr. Lyman was not connected with Irish
national movements until u few years ago
and was at first II follower of O'DonOvan
Russa, when the latter was head of the
muribund Fcnian brotherhood. Aftcrward
he Joined the Gamma Gael and at the
time of the first split in that organization
in 1854 took sides with the 'antitriangle'
wing and was an officer of one of its
camps, known us SpCranza club AT the
time Of the second rupture of that organ
i2ation, following the murder of DR.. Gro
min, Mir Lyman, it is said, was also bitterly
hostile to the "triangc' wing, but soon
aftcrward unexpectedly became its partisan
and Il leader Of it in New York, having
been appointed its chief officer for the dis
trict of Manhattan. He was also promi-
nrnt in the Irish National league and was
treasurer of the "triangle' wing of the
Clan na-Gacl. In 1892 he was appointed
ono of the peace commissioners to Ireland
to try to effect union between the parlia-
mcntary factions there. This mission was
unsuccessful.

1.-THE ORIGINAL MUGWUMP."
Candidate George Fred Williams Gained
That Title In 1884.

George Fred Williams, the Democratic
candidate for governor Of Massachusetts,
has been called the original Mugwunp,
because during the national campaign of
1854 he was one of the first Republicans to
break away from party ties and join the
independent movement.
He was born in Dcdham, Mass, July
10, 1892, prepared for college in the public
schools of his native town and then studied
for the bar at Dartmouth college After
securing his diploma he went abroad to
enjoy the educational advantages of Berlin
and Heidelberg, and upon his return to
this country began the practice of his pro
fession in 1919 in Boston, where he speed
lily made his mark rs an erudite, skillful
and eloquent lawyer.
Early in his career at the bar he began
to take an interest in politics and affiliated
himself with the Republican party. In
1887 he edited Williams Citations of Mas
sachusctts Cases and from 1850 to 1887
edited volumes 10 to II of the Annual
Digest of the bnited States.
In 1889 he made his debut rs an Office
seeker and was elected to the Massachusetts

Like Fred Douglass, Washington was
born IA slave, and when he reached young
manhood was ignorant and in ablcct pow

and clad in linen tow and homespun and
with but IA few cents in his pocket he left
the mines of West Virginia and started for
Hampton Va, to enter the famous Hamp-

way, slept under sidewalks and went with
out food to avoid spending his little money
and finally reached Hampton with 80 cents
in his pocket. He entered the charity list

was graduated with high honors and so

In 1881, aided by a state appropriation

school in a negro church in the very heart
of the "black belt" of the south. During
the IA years of his management the school

Washington's opinion, will do more to

Curiously enough, women are not re-

for it in his comedies. Cinesias, who was

Kansas City, March 13.-What was

gold base of the famous Montana silver
statue exhibited at the Worlds Fair. was
frustrated here tonight. The statue is
on exhibition in the dry goods store of a
local firm and has attracted thousands of
sight-seers. 1t rests in plain sight of the
street and is easy of access. Late tonight
two men who, it was later developed, had
hidden themselves in the store when it
closed this evening, got SO far as to
wrench an iron bar off the door near
where the statue stood and were opening
both doors when discovered. The men
fed and were chased for several blocks
and though fired at half dozen times,
escaped. They left tools of various de-
scriptions which would have been neces
sary to remove the statue, showing
their intentions, and tracks in the alley
near by where door had been opened,
indicated they had confederates. The
statue was that for which Ada Rehan
posed as model.
