Faction Fighting.

The rows and the ructions in the Fed
eral camp over the election Of county
and civic delegates are we'll calculated
to bring Joy and courage TO the hearts OF
the enemies of Ireland says the Dundalk
Democrat. The rank and file-like the
leaders-are engaged in faction fights.
In the struggle for supremacy between
the Healyite and the Dillonite factions,
clerical and lay Federatiopist are to be
found fighting as vigorously and as deter
minedly as ever the "two year Odds" and
tthree year olds" fought in the past.
The only difference in the discreditable
warfare wagsd in the present and past
faction fights is in the weapons. For
tunately the clubs and sticks so skill
fully welded in the past are Cup to the
presently dispensed with by our modern
factionists. The combatants in the pre-
sent day use their tongues in preference
to their fists, and steel or quill pens in
stead of ash plants aud black thorns.

other with an ability and vigor worthy

the National cause would be safe in the
keeping of either faction--or OF 9TH fac

Ireland if the present struggle ended in
the same way as the fight of the Kilkenny
cats is said to have terminated. It the

An Action Brought at St. Paul.

A. G. Mcintyre has filed a complaint
in an action in the Ramsey county dis
trict court to recover from DR.. w. Court
nsy, physician of the Northern Pacific
Beneficial society, 100000 for personal
damages alleged to have been sustained
in consequence of the defendants alleged
carelessness in attending the plaintiff
during period of confinement in the as.
ISOLATION hospital at Brainerd in 1889.
The complaint alleges that the plaintiff
was an employs of the Northern Pacific
at the Big Horn tunnel in Montana IN
July, 1889, and one of his feet was cut off
'sy being run over by train. He YVES
taken to the association hospital in Bill
lings, where he was cared for until Aug.
8, when he was removed to Brainerd and
placed in the hospital there, where his
leg was amputated at point about four
inches above the knee. DR.. Courtney
placed several drainage tubes in the
stump of his leg, he claims, which were
removed as the wound healed, but one
remained in after the flesh had healed
over, and was never discovered until last
year. The plaintiff claims that during
the time the tube remained in his leg it
caused him great suffering, and that it
was entirely due to the negligence of the
doctor that it was not removed before
the wound had healed.

The Hibernian Chair.

Every member of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians should be proud of the
fact that at no distant day there will be
added to the chairs of learning in the
great Catholic University at Washington
one to be forever known as that of Irish
literature, endowed by the freewill Offer
ings of members of the order, says the
Philadelphia Hibernian. Many men
blessed with wealth have freely given Of
it for the endowment of special chairs in
our universities, but to the humblest
and poorest among the Hibernians Of
America has been accorded the privilege
Of being among those who will be re-
membered as having helped to establish
one of the most important educational
features of modern times.
Ireland is peculiar in herself in that
when she sends out to the world her

ants ever forget her. Love for native

to America. As far back as 1860 an

Mission Work.
PASTORATE OF REV. r. s. JONES
DR.. L. M. Gates and His Sunday School
Work-Rev. ]. C. Hogan and His
Appointment at Rush-Other
Items Of Church Work.

Although working in a quiet manner
the Railroad Young Mems Christian
association Is one of the most effective
religious organizations in the city. The
annual meeting, which celebrated the
fourteenth anniversary, on Monday
night, showed tangible tokens of the
great increase in membership, work
and influence. At the previous ami
versary the membership was reported
to be 316, whereas by Monday night
the number had increased to 517. The
increase in all departments has been
singularly consistent; for instance, the
average attendancea at Sunday religious
service in 1894 was 1853, but during the
past year 1t had increased to 256. The
same comparison is shown in the at
tendance at the car shop religious
meetings, which, in 1894, was IA on an
average, but during the last year was
33; but the total attendance at all re-
hgious meetings, 1851, shows an enor-
nous increase with 3,814 of the pre-
ceding year.
Apart from the spiritual develop
ment Of the work there is a gratifying
increase in the various other branches.
There are 1,034 books in the library, as
compared with $50 twelve months ago;
1,154 books circulated compared with
262. The railroaders are evidently q
scrupulously cleanly section of COM
munity, as 3,714 baths were taken dur
ing the year. The only feature in the
report which calls for adverse remarks
is the evident lack Of accommodations
in the rooms. The following remark
is a fair criterion to the wants of the
members: "The need which was urged
last year for aIarger building In which
to conduct our work grows greater
every day, and unless the need can be
met In some way our work must in
evitably suffer-" The statement Is,
however, vague and not satisfactory
to the members. Who is to provide the
larger building? Mr.. Warburton said
1t rested solely upon the members, but
there is a concensus of opinion among
all railroad owners that the associa-
tions are the greatest help In securing
honest faithful and loyal servants.
The argument is, therefore, we'll made
that If the railroad companies profit to
an extensive extent, 1t would be but
fair to expect them to assist their en-
ployes in their efforts. There is but
one excuse for the delay, viz: the de-
preston in railroad traffic and the tenn
porary decrease in the revenue, and It
is to be hoped that with the revival of
trade the Scranton railroaders will be
in possession Of more commodious and
comfortable rooms.

BOUCICAULT'S HAIR DYE,
How Sadio Martinot Induced the OIt
Beau to Advance Her $500.

|
Sadie Martinot, when she made her
first appearance in San Francisco with
| Dion Boucicault, was, as she now is, rs
cunning and jolly a dame as ever
pressed her red lips to a goblet of Pom
merry, says the News Letter. Miss Mar
tinot used to tell a good story about
Boucicault In the later years of his
| life the great dramatist was very con-
| ceited about his personal appearance.
His long hair was carefully dyed every
day with a preparation which he got
| from Paris.
One morning Miss Martinot said to
| Dion: -
Mr. Boucicault, want $500
Miss Martinot," replied the drama
tist Il cannot conveniently furnish you
with that amount
IT am sorry" said Miss Martinez,
"but hope, when l call later on, that
you'll be able to find the cash for me-"
Next morning when Mr. Boucicault
arose and went to perform the ordinary
duties of his toilet he found that his
hair dye was missing. He knew that
Miss Martinot was acquainted with the
Whereabouts Oh lHdI illppItdill dit
| He also knew that it would take him at
| least two months to receive fresh in
stallment from Paris in case his stock
in hand did not turn up. At breakfast
he said, very humbly:
MY dear Miss Sadie, did you see
anything of my hair dye?"
To which that gifted and beautiful
| lady replied: So
81 assure you, Mr.. Boucicault, I found
among my effects a mixture to change
the color of the hair which closely APP
proaches yours, so far as can tell from
the LABEL
"And what is the price of that mix
ture?" inquired Mr.. Boucicault, bland
ly.
"Only $780," replied Miss Martinez.
with a witching smile.
How fortunatev' said Mr.. Bouci-
cault "Pve got a check for that exact
amount in my poket"
'And how fortunate, also," replied
Miss Martinot; Il have the bottle in
miner
Mr.. Boucicault took the bottle, Miss
Martinot took the check, and then over
their black coffee they chatted about
the weather.
