THE STUDY OF CELTIC
Large Amount Left by New Yorker

The will Of Patrick Mullin, a queer
character, has just been filed for probate
in the courts in New York city. Mullin
was New York's great gun maker He
worked alone in a little shop without an
apprentice, but his guns were sold at
from $4O0 to 81 600 and only the wealth.
est of New Workers possessed them.
His will disposes Of an estate valued
al. .$95 900. To his nephew, William Vim
cent Farrell, he leaves his house and
grounds adjoining, which are two city
lots, and the income of $4,000 for life.
If w. v. Farrell dies without issue the
$4,000 is to go to the Little Sisters of
the Poor for their Home for the Aged in
New York city. The residue of his es-
tate is left to Timothy ID. Sullivan, Lord
Mayor of Dublin, to be used for the pro-
motion of the teaching of the Irish Ian
guage If the courts upset this beuuest
the residue Of the estate is to go to Moth
er Misericordia Hospital of Dublin.
Mr. Mullin was a lover of Ireland and
of the Irish language, although he never
identified himself actively with any of
the Irish movements in this country
Mr.. Mullin frequently deplored the fact
that the Irish language was almost for
gotten. Pehaps no man in New York
was better posted on the history of Ire
land than Mr. NIullin, and he frequently
asserted that there were beauties in the
Irish language that should not be for
gotten

II TARIFF.

The concluding paragraph 10 inc
tariff portion Of McKinley's letter OF
acceptance reads as follows:
Our farmers have been hurt by tho
changes In our tariff legislation as severely
as our laborers and manufacturers, badly
as they have suffered. The republican
platform wisely declares Ia favor OF sucn
encouragement to our sugar interests "as
will lead to the production on American
soil of all the sugar which the American
people use."It promises to our wool and
wooden interests "the most ample protsc-
tion )" a guarantee that ought to be COM
mended by avery patriotic citizen. Never
was a more ~grievous wrong done the
farmers Of our country than that so unjust
ly inflicted during the past three years up
on the wool growers Of America. Although
among our most industrious and useful
citizens, their interests have been practice
ally destroyed and our wooden manufact-
urers involved in similar disaster. II no
time within the past thir:y-six years, and
perhaps never during any previous period,
have so msnJ OF our wooden factories been
suspended as now. The republican party
can be relied upon to correct these great
wrongs, if again intrusted with the control
of congress.

the following editorial paragraph on
his readers, in the last issue of his

Tie dlsaffection in New Mexico on the

Even were not this the case, the republicans
of this Territory could not afford to ignore

1t is said that Hon. b. s. Rodey, OF
