IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS.
The Five Remaining Ones Will Probably
BE Released.

London, July 3O.-As a result Of the
efforts Of Mr.. John Redmond, the Par
nellite leader, it is probable that the
government will soon release the five
remaining Irish prisoners, Wilson, Bur-
ton, Dalton, Flanagan and Fetherstone,
now undergoing sentences of penal serv-
itude for life in Portland prison. Sir
Matthew White Ridley, the home sec
rotary, has already promised to treat
them as convicted under the dynamite
act Of 1888, which carries a maximum
penalty Of twenty years imprisonment,
instead Of under the treason-felony act
Of 1S4S. Deducting for good conduct
Communication" the term Of imprisonment
would be fifteen years.
All five have now entered the fifteenth
year Of their imprisonment and there
are strong hopes Of REFER before the eX-
piration Of the year, as the result OF the
special pressure brought to bear upon
the government, supported by large
section Of the press. 1t is thought prob
able that the forthcoming visit of the
Duke and Duchess Of York to lrelanc
will be signalized by the release OF al
Irish political prisoners.

Have Miracle
Days Returned
I Marvellous Demonstrations
That Are Taking Place
at Winners Hall.

these be stirring times" at Winners
Hall, The afflicted OF Red Jacket are
waking up to the fact that there il more
in yiCal magnetism than il dreamt OF in
their philosophy. Every afternoon at
2:30 DR.. French has held his famous lee
ture, 'Clnics," asking NO admission Zee
10 the hall, seeking no reward for his ser
vices and helping as many people every
day as the time at his disposal would,
permit.
The human system is in many respects
like an ocean steamer with her compli-
ment OF engines. She makes Der way
across the billowy ocean with ease and.
speed. Now how different when one of
her engines breaks down. She keeps
going, but half her force and speed lie
gone; so it is with the human system.
With half the vital magnetism missing
the terrific strain brings on disease and
suffering. "We want on this platform
today" said Dr.. French, "a dozen or
more cases where actual suffering exists
We want to relieve those who are suffer-
ing now. We would like cases OF rheu-
matism, paraly sis lung trouble, one we'll
developed case OF goitre, several cases OF
blindness, deafness and spinal trouble.
These will treat as far az my strength
will allow and the time permit"
We know then that suffering people
will hunt us up at the Central Hotel and
engage private treatment, where every
thing is convenient for more perfect " ork.
Thus far the people calling privately
have to ask 80 many questions about
themselves that Important time is lost.
1t would be 20 much better II all could
see some such cases cured at Winners
Hall. No one should fail to witness these
wonderful cures. DR.. French is a regu
larly graduatet physician and has ex
amined thousaud Dis OF sick people. lI
Philadelphia ana other large cities h'
charges 81 for each and every examina
ton, but here examinations are free from
8 II. IN. to p m. Admission and treat
ment at the hall are also free.

SERVANTS IN JAPAN.
They Render Excellent Service II They
Are Treated With Consideration.

japanese servants are excellent II you
choose them with discretion and treat
them with the established consideration
of the country. There is Il universal So
cial compact in Japan TO make life
pleasant by politeness. Everybody is
more IT less well bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamashu-
noisy, uncivil or exigent.
People who lose their temper are al
ways in hurry, bang doors, swear and
swaggcr, find themselves out OF place
III land where the lowest cody learns
and practices an ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbles about as
baby upon his mothers back. Therefore
TO be treated well in Japan-as perhaps,
indeed, elsewhere-you must treat every
body, including your domestics, well,
and then you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you
little, your jinrikisha man will now
and then take too much sake, the mus
mu and the boys wife will gallop all
over the place about everything you do,
and the gardener and the coachman will
fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned, but if conscious of your
own you can forgive the little sins Of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached TO the quiet, soft voiced,
pleasant people, who as soon as they
have learned your ways will take real
| pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then of kimono
to the maids, of toys and sweetmeats to
the children, days holiday now and
| then granted to the theater or the wres-
Ting match are richly rewarded by such
| bright faces and unmistakable warmth
of welcome on arriving and of good
speed OH going as repay you tenfold.
Respectful as japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faces-they like to be taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the
master and mistress, admiring dresses,
pictures or western novelties and listen
ing sometimes to the samisen and kotC
as children of the household. Edwin
Arnold in Scribner's.

Direct trade with Europe is what the
south has always needed for the devel-
opment of its business. Ii would be
best, of course, if this increase were in
imports as we'll as exports, but then the
export trade is likely to bring a recipro-
cal business from Europe in time.
General l. W. Avery, who has given
the subject of direct trade much study
and consideration, is particularly struck
with the favorable showing of these fig
ures and says:
I'VE see that of the 1876 United States
ports the 30 southern seaports, 22.3 per
cent of the number, did IL per cent
of the whole increase, while the rest,
~ of the whole number, only did 2S. 6
per cent of the increase.
"Of the southern ports Galveston
leads with $2l, 307, 697 increase; Balti-
more, $40, 962, 997 New Orleans, $l7,-
S2l, 043; Norfolk, $11, 1875, 463; New
port News, SO, 454, S53, and Pensacola,
| $4,000, $50.
Compare the percentage OF the
southern individual port increase with
the great eastern and other ports, and
| the contrast is the more striking.
"Norfolk's increase, 200 per cent
| New York's increase, 1915 per cent
Pensacola's increase, lO5 per cent
Philadelphia increase, II. o per cent
Galveston's increase, 66 per cent; Bos
tons increase, 6. 3 per cent.
"These official figures are amazing
when we consider that there We're III
regular southern lines of steamers TO
foreign trade but from New Orleans
Norfolk and Baltimore. Only traml
ships ran irregularity to other southern
ports
1t is probable that all this expor
trade which has latterly been handled
by the southern ports has been perma
nently secured by them and will not b
lost, but we should not be satisfied wit
this business and should make ever
effort TO develop and increase our foi
eign trade. All the conditions are ia
vorable fo. it.--New Orleans Times

QUEER LIBRARY FREAKS.
Funny Requests For Books That Amuse
and Amaze Employees.


Once in awhile the clerks in the pub
lie library get hold Of a good joke
through the ignorance OF people who
come there to take out books. 1t was
not long ago that woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters OF the
American Revolution came there to
look up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready TO submit to the
committee on membership. She went
about it in rather queer way. After
looking about aimlessly through the IN
dex for a time she discovered Losing s
Family History of the United States. "
She wrote her request for the books ON
one of the cards provided for that pur-
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because II
did not contain what she wanted.
1t was not long after this incident
that another woman, who, from her
dress and appearance, the clerks thought,
might be literary, wrote on one OF the
cards request for 1.-The Autocrat OF
the Breakfast Table. "
Holmes 'Autocrat, do you WANT
politely asked the clerk.
ooh, | don't care whose it is, was
the reply. II only want to find out if Il
is proper to use toothpicks at the break
fast table.
Another request for a magazine which
the applicant said was called Bran
| kept one of the clerks busy hunting hal
an hour before he discovered that VIVA
was wanted was the magazine called
Mind. Still another clerk was shock
ed the other day by request for Wash
ington Irving's Alabama. h." The clerl
| mildly suggested "Alhambra. "-Chi
