THOMAS MOORE UNHoNORED.
RetributiOn For the Irish Poets In
suit to Thomas Jefferson.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The recently dis
covered commission of Thomas Moores
name from the roll of poets inscribed on
the walls of the new congressional library
has aroused the Ancient Order of Hlber-
mans in this city, and they are formulate
ing an appeal to the 100000 other men,
bers of the order in this country to bring
pressure upon congress to have the omis-
sion rectifed. Their complaints have de-
veloped the fact that Moore wrote a num-
her of bitter poems against America while
in this country, and, unlike Dickens and
some other English critics, did not con-
fine his structures to America at large, but
wrote number Of pointed, unpleasant
and almost unprintable things about
Thomas Jefferson, who was at that time
President of the United States.
These Poems Relating to America"
have been collected in a single volume.
and upon this showing of deliberate in
suit to the then President of the United
States the name of Moore was omitted
from the honor roll of poets.

GIRVIN NOT YET PARDONED,
Prospects of His Getting Free Not nj
All Promising


Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. The applica-
ton for pardon, made last week In be-
half of ]. w. Girvin the Jacksonville gam
bier, has not been taken up by the state
board of pardons. However, the testimony
sent up in the case has been carefully ex-
amined' and the prospect for pardon, or
even a commutation of sentence, does not
appear to be very encouraging. Accord
ing to the evidence submitted, pardon
for Girvin, it is thought, would appear as
a notice to every gambler convicted in the
state that all that would be necessary
for him to do in or ier to escape the pen
atty of the law. as imposed by the courts.
would be to apply to the state board for
a pardon, with the assurance that it
would be speedily granted
A communication or pardon cannot be
granted without the governors consent.
but the governor cannot grant a commu-
tation or pardon without the concurrence
of at least two of the other members of
the board.
