The A. O. II. in Michipan
Especial to the Irish Standard

ltONWOOD, Mich, Aug g. John !,
Shea, local treasurer of the A. O. H.
this week received 81 900 from the state
treasurer OF the society, life insurance
for Tim Sullivan, who was drowned here
two weeks ago. This sncic,y is certainly
very prompt in paying its losses.
The above paragraph is taken from
the Times Of this city, and is n fair sam
pie OF the prOmDtncss with which the
Ancient Order of IIbcrnians pays its
death losses. The young man, who had
the misfortune of losing his life, was the
only support Of aged parents, and of a
family of brothers and sisters. lie be-
came a member Of the order about a
year ago, and had only reached his
majority few months prior to his I'M
timely death. While the loss is irrc-
parable to the bcrcavcd family and
hcartbrOken parents, II was II source of
much consolation to them to see his re-
mains taken charge of by his broth ar
members, who left nothing charitable
undonc, even to the dcfrayng of all
expenses connected with his burial, in
Il manner characteristic of the noble Or
der. How many of our young Irishmell
who are eligible, instead Of Joining The
ranks of the A. o. H., hcetllcssly allow
the happy opportunities to pass by and
scarcely bestoW "a thought on themselves
or those near and dear to them, thereby
dcpriving themselves Of the many Hd-
vantagcs to be gained from the order
both in health and during illness, and
their loved ones of the benefit of The
insurance, which the order offers it's
members at the nominal cost of /; few
cents per month The sad and untimcIy
death of this highly respected young
man ought to serve as a lesson to a
good many Of them.

change OF prisoners, and a large steam
er, we'll loaded with provisions ready
for use, was dispatched from the North
to bring the Union prisoners to WASH
ington. The officers in charge of the
steamer, fully aware Of the starved
| condition of the prisoners, knew that
to give them, all at once, the amount
OF food their appetites craved, would
be fatal! They hit, therefore, on a
plan, which without grating ON the
feelings Of the poor soldiers, saved
them from the evil effects of overfeei-
ing in their weakened condition. Tho
food was distributed from one place in
the boat, and the soldiers were formed
into ranks and kept marching around
the boat, each one receiving large
slice of bread and meat as he passed
the supply station. AS soon as a SOL
der fell out Of the ranks his supply Of
food ceased. Father Elliott says that
some of the poor fellows never left
the eating ranks from the time they
left Richmond until the steamer landed
at Washington.
After the war Father Elliott studied
law, was admitted to the bar, and prac-
ticed for some time. However, he soon
realized that God had called him 20
eXpound the divine rather than the
civil code, so he applied for admission
to the Paulist community, whose aims
and work he thought would suit him.
He was gladly received by Father
Hecker who was then in his full health
and vigor. and who rejoiced to receive
a kindred spirit to aid him in his noble
endeavors to build and spread the
church in America After a propcr
course Of theology Father Elliott was
ordained priest some twenty-five years
ago, and since then as he himself, In
his own vigorous terms might express
ii, he has been the whecl-horse in
every good work Of the Paulist COM
munity.

To Check Profanity.

In Switzerland, where they have three
languages to curse in, they have an
antique profanity league, pledged to pay
a penny an oath. Whenever one man
hears another swear, he presents one
of the associations cords, and the cur
ser is supposed to pay his fine. People
who use the Saint Paul & Duluth rail-
read, or Duluth Short Line, as it is gen
orally known, never are called upon to
use profanity, because they have such a
good time that they do not feel called
upon to swear This road is always up
to date in the matter of equipment and
facilities generally, running fast trains
for the accommodation of the business
man and the tourist, to and between st.
Paul. Minneapolis. Duluth, West Super
ior and other important points, making
close connections with boats and trains
going in all directions. 1t is the popular
line, as those who have never tried it
before find out. For maps circulars and
general information apply to ticket
agents or to c. E. Stone, General Pas
senger Agent, st. Paul, MINI.

TALLAHASSEE TOPICS.
An Old Live OaE-RepOrt on the State
Insane Asylum.


Tallahassee, Fla, March 2S.-At the cor
ner Of Adams and Clinton streets there
stands high live oak, which is regard
ed by the older citizens as a landmark. In
lAi the business portion of Tallahassee
was destroyed by fire, save one lone
wooden building which is still standing,
and used for a dwelling. Buildings were
burned on both sides of this tree, and it
was thought to be dead for a long time.
Finally it showed signs of life, was cared
Tor by the city, and now the new growth
mas nearly encircled the old trunk, which,
although killed fifty-three years ago, is
perfectly sound.
Supt John w. Trammel of the state
insane asylum, has made his report for
Sa and 1896, which shows that there were
90 resident patients for the former year;
40 were men and 149 women. Sixty were
admitted, SO died and II were discharged,
PaVlng 2SS patients at the end of the year,
@ males and l29 females. These cost the
state $l05.O6 per capita.
The residents for 1896 aggregated 459,
q which 25S We're males and 2O6 females.
The admissions were III, deaths, 80; dis
charges, Sc, closing the year with 1913 pa
tents 1874 men and 179 women. The to-
NS9N u tue dSy ludll LOT 1880 Ieu

slpt Trammel asks for an electric light
PANT for the asylum, claiming that it
would be safer and cheaper.
he recommends that a. dairy be estab-
Nhed for the asylum. He says a dairy
WIN thirty good milch cows would yield
mix and butter worth over 5000 per an

glion, besides supplying the inmates with

purned-BIaze started at 1 O'Clock
=. the Morning and Was Famed
m High Wind-The Fire Depart
,ant Unable to Cope With the
Flames.
,,orfojk Va. March 2S.-Portsmouth was
-.,.ited early this morning by disastrous
50 which destroyed property valued at
hatvsen $4,000 and $500. 900. consisting of
catholic church, two public halls and
'u-artv-seven dwellings. Most of the lat
49, we're frame structures. As a result
- the conAagration, 200 persons are home
less to-day.
Tho fire broke out about l o'clock in
vybitehurst hall, large vacant building
- Glasgow street, used occasionally for
sorcine purposes. The flames spread,
,nder the influence of a stiff breeze, with
ronarkable rapidly. and were quickly
communicated to the buildings adjacent
TO the hall
EVERYTHING in that end of the block be-
,rg burned the fire crossed over to Lon
.on street into the block bounded by
oueen. Green and Washington, and also
snread down Glasgow, across Green.
In loss than twenty minutes after the
hall had been discovered ablaze, the
sharks from the glowing conflagration
had been carried across three blocks to
Ct PANTS Catholic church, on the corner
of Washington and High streets, and IN
= faw minutes the sacred edifice was
wrapped in flames.
The entire Portsmouth department was
out fighting bravery, but was absolutely
unable TO cope with the flames. The Nor
folk department was called upon. and re-
spopded at 2:3O o'clock with one engine
and eleven men.
About the same time the church caught,
another fire broke out in South Ports
month. The navy yard engine hurried to
the scene and succeeded in getting the
fire under control after several dwellings
had been destroyed. 1t then came up to
the church and joined the brigades of the
two cities. The fire had crossed High
street and one by one destroyed the row
of two-story frame buildings between Din
widdie and Washington streets, and then
ate its WAY around on DinWidde and des-
troyed St Josephs hall
The scene was wild one. The beautiful
church was a mass of ruins, with its great
roof fallen in and the flames eating its
very heart out. The other side of the
street was a sheet of flames. Eight two
story buildings we're in different stages of
destruction. Across on Glasgow street, the
first conhagrati ton was still in progress and
the heavens over Newton were still red
with the glow of the flames but recently
conquered in that section. Houses were
emptied of their contents and furniture
was piled high up on the sidewalks for
4 squares around. In order to protect this
from thieves. two companies of militia
were called out and posted on guard.
AT S:4j the fire was gotten under control.
Fully fifty houses in different parts of
the city caught from flying sparks and
4 cinders but were saved by prompt action
& of bucket brigades.
There were no fatalities, so far as
known. The Catholic church was valued
at about $50 900. The insurance upon all
a the property burned will probably not ag-
n gregate more than $50,090. @ttr

HOW TO DETECT II.
Some Valuable Hints Regarding the
Grippe-Signs OF It's Approach and
How to Counterfeit Them.

How to Counterfeit Them.
The discussion as to the cause of the
grippe is, of course. interesting, but gives
little satisfaction to its unfortunate vic
Tins. Whether caused by microbe or
vagaries of the weather, its ravages con-
tinue, and the country still bends under
the scourge.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed on
people that. in order to ward off the dis
ease. warning symptoms must be regard
ed and prompt action taken. 1t becomes
extremely difficult to dislodge the disease
II allowed to take its course. Hence it's
name. 1t generally commences with a
slight headache. or pains in the small of
the back or limbs. 1t does not always
give one even as plain hint as that-a
feeling of tightness across the forehead,
buzzing in the ears, or peculiar feeling
about the eyes, may be all the caution
one gets. so 1t is culpable carelessness to
neglect even these slight signs.
The remedy lies in stimulant, and the
preference should be given to whiskey.
All the doctors of the country are agreed
on this point, but are very careful to inn
press on their patients the fact that pure
whiskey alone must be taken. Duffys
Pure Malt Whiskey is the purest on the
market. and can be readily obtained at
all drug stores. There are many imita-
tors who say their WHISTLES are ''just as
good" Do not be deceived. They are
not. Duffy's Pure Malt is the only medi-
cnal one.
