MOND.
Kisses TOR GLADSTONE
Spirited Speeches Thoroughly Arouse
the 500 Delegates to the First Ma
tional Convention of the Irish In
dependent League in Dublin
England Bitterly Denounced.

Dublin. Oct. 12.-The first general
dependent league, organized by John
Redmond. NJ. p, the Parnellite leader,
opened Monday afternoon in the An
cient concert o here. Eight
hundred enthusiastic delegates, who
packed the hall, actively participated
in cheering vociferously every point
in the speeches which met their APP
prevail, ieering the name of Dillon,
Heaiy, Dayitt, as we'll as kissing the
ramc uf Mr.. Gladstone when Red
mond characterized him as the Eng
lishman who betrayed Ireland" All
of the speeches paid a tribute to the
patriotism of the late Charles Stuart
PaInell, Warm cheers greeted the
entrance Of Redmond, John Parnell
and Patrick O'Brien into the hall.
The climax of the convention was
reached when during a speech deliv-
cred by William Redmond, he said
chat when the Dillonites rejected
Parnell, they alienated the United
States, thus killing the goose which
laid the golden egg. Continuing
Redmond said that he would never
walk into any room controlled by
Dillon or Healy, although he was for
unity. Adding he said; with all
the royal professions through our
streets, it is time for Irishmen to
say something. The great mass of
Irish people are today, and will be
until liberty is given them, enemies
of England. England is a bully,
pirate and savage. Whether in India,
or Africa, the bloody flag of the
British empire is advanced by
plundering and destroying the poor
people. Our sympathy goes to these
poor people. God bless them and give
success to their efforts. Three cheers
for the men Of India who are fighting
England" The delegates thereupon
climbed upon their seats shouting
down with Britain" The meeting
had up to that point been of a some
what mild description, but much
greater denUnciation of England
followed, There was, however, no
dlscord whatever. Tie resolutions
were all adopted with enthusiasm,
and the reading of a telegram from
the Irish Independent league of New
York vas heartily cheered.

HOW TO SAY IT.

There Is a large class who delight
to shine in newspapers as wits or
poets, and announce their wares In
secondhand jokes or in dCggerel fit
TO set the teeth Of a duh sew on edge.
If their object is notoriety or a laugh,
this Is the way to attain it; but If it
be business, it would seem better to
use the language of business. Leave
clowns jests TO the circus, and let
sober men speak as they act, with di.
rectness and decision. The fewest
words that will convey the adyer-
Users ideas are the right mes

A TRlP TO THE MARKET.

II is almost indispensable 10 the
highest success of the retail merchant,
no matter where his store is located
or what dimensions it may be, to oc-
casionally visit the market himself,
He can buy of the travelling salesman,
1t is true, and post himself more or
less satisfactorily from the trade
journal; but after all, there are ideas
to be gotten only in the great centers
of trade. A survey of the huge stocks
of the wholesale houses not only af-
fords him an opportunity TO pick up
some bargains which would never
suggest themselves to him otherwise,
but gives him a knowledge Of styles,
qualities, etc, that al but be bene-
fetal. 1t is a great advantage to have
a practically limitless variety from
which to choose, too. When, in adj
dition to the foregoing, lone considers
the object lessons to be observed in
the retail quarters of the large cities,
the windows, the display of stock and
the use OF the latest and most effective
methods in conducting business, the
educational advantages of a trip to
the market must be very patent 10

and her resucer have reached the
United States they cannot be surren-

thorities. Miss Cisneros, being u po-

law, be surrendered, and there is no
clause in the Spanish extradition
treaty that would serve as a basis for
n claim for her surrender. The case
OF the Journal agent who secured the
escape of the girl is expressly covered
in an article of the extradition treaty
between Spain and the United States
which says that neither of the con
