To-day's game, like all the others of the

proposition for the Baltimoreans who won
much as they pleased, while the visitors
never appeared to think they had any
chance whatever. An audience so small
that the management refused to give the
exact number and so utterly devoid of
enthusiasm that scarcely a ripple of APP

to be glad that the game which, by the

MARGARET OF NAvARRE's POEM.
"The Mirror of the Sinful SOUL"
Translated by Queen Elizabeth.

From the London Chronicle.
Percy Ames has edited for the Royal So
ciety of Literature a most interesting re-
print in fac simile of the prose transla-
ton of Margaret of Navarres poem, THE
Mirror of the Sinful Soul" This trans
lation was made by Queen Elizabeth at
the age of II, and though it has little in
trinsic merit, it is memorable as the ham
diWOrk of one of the greatest women in
history Mr.. Ames justly remarks that it
illustrates Elizab eths "precocious ability.
1t has perhaps, a characteristic touch OF
her vanity, for she makes no mention of
the original author whose name was also
omitted by the printer John Bale, who
brought out the work in 1913 with the title
of "A Cody Medytacyon of the Christen
sowle concerninge a love towardes God
and hys Christie Elizabeth executed her
task when she was suffering from her
fathers displeasure, and banished from
his presence. In 1544 Henry was appeased
and then the little princess sent the
poem, in all probability bound with her
own hands," as New Years gift to the
queen, Katherine Parr. 1t is seldom that
little girls who fail into disgrace beguile
the hours of penance with voluntary la
Dor of this kind; but there is ample tes-
timony. to the love of books which dis
tinguished Eliza beth and her brother Ed
ward in their earliest years, and the great
Queens command of languages is well
known. The fac smile of Elizabeth's
handwriting in this translation shows a
remarkably clear and vigorous penman-
ship. 1t might. indeed, be set as a copy
for the awe and admiration of little En-
glish girls of our own day. The volume
is enriched by a portrait of the Princess
Elizabeth at the age of 10 or A. from
picture which was long supposed to be
the work of Holbein. But as that pain.
ter died in 1913, when Elizabeth was only
10 years old, Mr. Ames attributes the por-
trait to "the same talented but unknown
artist who painted the fine portrait Of
King Edward VI, which is also at Wind
sor castle"

IRISH LEAGUE CHEERS REDMOND.
Gladstone Characterized as the Eng
Iishman Who Betrayed ireland.

iShihsin W no Betrayed ireland.
Dublin, Oct 1.-THE first general ma
tlonal convention of the Irish Independ-
ent League organized by John Redmond.
NJ F., the Parnenite leader, opened this
afternoon in the Ancient Concert rooms
here. Eight hundred enthusiastic dele
gates packed the hall and actively par
tcipated in cheering vociferousIy every
point in the speeches which met with their
approval, and in jeering the names of Dill
Ion, Healy and Davitt, as well as hiss
ing the name of Mr.. Gladstone when Mr.
Redmond characterized him as 1.-THE Eng
lishman who betrayed Ireland" Every
reference TO The struggle of 1898 was greet
ed uproariously.
All the speeches paid tribute to the pa
triotism of the late Charles Stewart Par
nell.
Resolutions were adopted affirming that
the Irish question can be settled by the
concession of national self-government
and calling upon all members of parlia-
ment, who, for the last few years have
pursued a mistaken policy" to ''rejoin the
independent party, unite upon the princi-
pies of Charles Stewart Parnell, and de-
mand the release of the political prisoners
as an act of simple justice to humanity"
The climax of the convention was reach
ed when, during a speech delivered by
William Redmond, he said that when the
Dtllonites rejected Parnell, they "alien-
ated the United States, thus killing the
goose which laid Inc golden egg"
Mr.. Redmond added; England is a bull
ly, a pirate and a savage. Whether in In
dia or in Africa, the bloody flag of the
British empire has been advanced by
plundering and destroying people. Three
cheers for the men in India who are fight
ing"
The delegates thereupon climbed upon
their seats ana shouted: Down with Bri-
tain"
The meeting had, up to that point, been
of a somewhat mild description, but much
denuncia ton of England and talk of 1898
followed.
There was also much denunciation of
Great Britain's proposal to give Ireland
a Catholic university. The participation
of the priests in politics was condemned
and the Healyitcs were denounced as
the assassins of Parnell."
There was however, no discord. The
resolutions were adopted with enthusiasm,
and the reading of a telegram from the
Irish Independent League of New York
was heartily cheered.
The proceedings of the convention were
finished this evening and the predictions
made of a revolt against the leadership of
John Redmond proved entirely unfounded.
The delegates cheered him enthusiastical-
~ and on the adjournment they warmly
praised his speech, pronouncing it to be
most able outline of the policy of the Irish
independent League
