How England has Benefited the World in General and the United States in PartiC-
 uIar Through the InStru-
 mentality of the Irish Race.

In looking down tEe pages of history we find that Irishmen enjoy distinction such as no other nationality can claim to this date in the worlds progress. It amounts to a revelation and places this ancient race on the highest pinnacle which human endeavor can hope to reach. The persecution of the British govern ment towards Ireland about the time of the discovery of America was the means of making these United States possibility.
 We find that the emmigratiOn from Ireland from the 18th to the 18th century was ve.y large; and all histo: rians, friendly or unfriendly, agree that one-half of Washington's army were BORN IN IRELAND!~ Cornwallis' esti- mate, that 90 per cent. of the men who fought the battles belonged to the Irish race, is not disputed. The emmigratiOn from other countries was very little at the time we needed soldiers. They waited until this country was a success. It fol- lows, then, that this country was GRE ATED BY THE IRISH PEOPLE, and when Cromwell was driving them to ''HELL OR CoNNAUGHT! he builded better than he knew Hibernians. rejoice at your phe- nomenal record!
 ;, It is this uIconquerable spirit that places the Waterbury Furniture Company above and beyond that element in life called "CoMPETITIoN." The only thing in this world we fear is ''WRONG" WE CAN'T AFFORD TO WRONG CUsTo- MER-NOT ONE !

DUNRAVEN IS SATISFIED.
Says He Doesn't See Anything the Matter
 With Nalkyrie III.


 LONDON, July. 5.-A prCsj representa-. tive kcd Lord Dunravrn what he thought of the recent showing of Nalkyrie III. He dld not have q very jubilant look, hut answered as follows:
 II am very well satisfied. She is what we expected, and don't sec anything tho matter with her."
 But" said tho press representative, "she was badly beaten Tuesday,"
 Lord Dunraven made no reply to this blinkcd at the sun.
 Arc you satisfied with her present trim:" he was further asked.
 "Ycs,' said Lord Dunraven. "She suits admirably. We shall not make any alteration in her whatever"
 "Thcn you have decided that she shall go to America?"
 "Oh, yes, quite. We shall sail her to- morrow and probably Monday. Then she will be docked and got ready for the ocean voyage"
 'Is there any chance of Britannia going to America us a second string to 8 bowl" "No, that is absurd. She could not possibly get ready in time. Valkyrie III is the boat which will contest the cup races"
 When asked if he would build another challenger if Valkyrie III failed to win, Lord Dunravcn said that he had not thought about that yet and would await and see how Valkyrie III fared. He cer- tainly hoped she would win, and he thought that if the cup was brought over here it would greatly increase the interest in yachting, as Americans would doubt less come over and try to get it back.

WALKED OUT OF JAIL.
Three Postoffice Robbers Found It Easy to
 Escape From Ludlow Street Jail.


 NEW YORK, July 5.-Three postoffice robbers, the most important prisoners in Ludlow Street jail, concerning whom the keepers had been judicialiy and otherwise officially warned, poled pistol under the nose of keeper, took his keys away from him, locked him and fellow keeper in and escaped without mishap. There may have been two pistols or three pistols. It doesn't matter. Nor is it known how they got the pistol or the pistols
 There are some people who insinuate that the prisoners never had pistol But they escaped. The fact that two keepers were suspended, whether for cowardice or stupidity or on general principles, does not begin to measure the consequences of the delivery, the official report of which sounds very much moro like Oklahoma than New York city.
 The three prisoners were Joseph Killo- ran, Charles Allen and Harry Russell. They were to have appeared for examina- tion next Tuesday. Each had been con- mitted in default of S1O,OO bail They had been identified as the strangers who were from the first believed to have robbed the postoffice in Hoboken, N. J., of S6, 566 worth of stamps on Dec. 3, 1894.
 They were moro than suspected of hay ing robbed the postOfficc in Scranton. Pa., of $S, 900 worth of stamps on Aug. 2, 1894. The secret service also charged to their account the robbery of the postoffice in Springfield, Ills, on April 3, 1894, by which $7, 900 was lost, and of five or six other postofficcs and of the First Nation al bank in Piainfield, N. J.
 They were arrested, together with a man named John Moore, in this city on May 30.
 Moore proved that he was in Sing Sing, long term prisoner, on the date of the robbery of the HobOllcn postoffice He was thcrcupon released. Allen, Russell and killoran were kept in custody. They were arraignCd for identification ill the office of United States Commissioner Shields on June so changed in appear ancc that their captors could not recognize them.
 They had somehow or other each man aged to get q shave. They had exchanged clothing with other prisoners. They had made bumps and discoloratons upon their own faces They went to jail looking like gcntlomcn-and looking like their photo graphs. They went tO,court looking liko Cherry street thugs.
 This change mado it almost impossible for the mon to be identified. Warden Hen ry F. Raabc and his superior, Sheriff Tam sen, were sharply cCnsurrd by the federal authorities. United States Marshal Nc Carthy thought there was danger of the escape of prisoners from a jail run in such slipshOd and irresponsible manner The sheriff resented thl9.

 Not Swim, Was Drowned.
 ROCHESTER, July 5.-N1rs. Robert An derson of this city was drowned in Iron dequoit bay while endeavoring to rescue from tho water her 15-year- old sister, two young nieces and a nephew.

YOUNG JIM GARFIELD.
The Martyred Presidents Son and His Political Aspirations.
WILL PROBABLY BE STATE SENATOR

The Men Who Nominated Him Are Enthusi-
 astic About His Cnmpaign-HeI Is as Young
 as His Father Was When Elected Sena-
 tor, but Not So Poor.
 COLUMBUS, O., July 5.-The nomination for state senator of James R. Garfield, son of the murdered president, has aroused a great deal of political interest in this state. He is candidate fom the Portage Summit district comprising the same counties which in 1859 elected his father to the same position.
 The late James A. Garfield was SS years old when chosen and had been married to Lucrctia Rudolph but one year. James R. Garfield is nominated at the same age, and he, tco, has been married but little more than year.
 Another coincidence is that the nomi- nation came to the younger Garfield on July ?, anniversary of the date on which his father II years ago was shot down by Guiteau. There is, however, no coinci- ence in the financial condition of the fla thcr and the son at the time of their rcspec- tive nominations. Tho Jim Garfield of 1859 was poor. His wife was poor also, but both of them were well educated and both brave in the battle of life.
 The Jim Garfield who is entering poli- tics in 1895 is really a rich man. Tho generosity of the nation made his mother one of the richest women of the Western Reserve, and young Jim married tho daughter of millionaire. Garfield, the elder, and Garfield, the younger, were both graduated from Williams college. Young Jim is also a graduate of the Co- lumbia Law school, though he was admit ted by examination to practice before the supreme court of Ohio.
 Hopes to Go to Congress.
 There will be no doubt of his election, and frUm now on there will be another Jim Garfield in the politics of Ohio. Ho is p young man of ambitious tendencies and is very proud of his fathers name Bu: Lc wants to stand on his own merits and not to be held up for popular esteem simply because he is the son of his~frt1ar. It k Eo secret that his ambitisn is to ac- quirc legislative cXpcricDec in the Ohio senate and then to take his fathers old r';;''" in congress from the samo old Nine- t'rnih district that gave Giddings, Wade and Garfield to the nation.
 The future state senator has evidently allied himself to the faction in this Stato which desires the further elevation of For akcr. There is no particular reason why he should join hands with Senator Sher- man or with Mckinley.
 Thirtysix years ago Garfield, tho elder, was nominated at Ravcnna. He was re- markably youthful in appearance and his chief champion, Frederick Williams, was asked:
 Haven't you made mistake ill nomi- hating such a young chap?'
 Wait until you hear him." replied Williams.
 Garfield came before the convention made a speech and from that time on ho was the idol of the section. The same ob- jcction was urged against Jim Garfield of today-that he looks too young. But ho promises to overcome all these objections much as his father did in 1859.
