Less than four years ago Scott Jack
son. who was hanged in Kentucky last
week for the murder of Pearl Bryan,
was under arrest in Jersey City, charg-
ed with emblezzling S25, 900 from a rail-
way freight office in which he was en-
ployed. Jackson turned states evidence
and implicated fellow employe
named Let's, who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary. while Jackson himself was
released. At the trial the attorney re-
presenting Let's paid his respects to
the informer in terms which seem sin
gularly prophetic in the light OF recent
events Said he: To-day the arm of
the prosecutor may be sufficient to pro-
tect you against the punishment you so
well deserve, but while you are enjoy
ing immunity from the laws of our
state, you must remember that there
is higher law than the statute of New
Jersey. There is stronger power
than the arm of the prosecutor. There
is law of retribution. Sooner or
later, somewhere and at some time,
that law of retribution. merciless and
memorable, will overtake you and you
Will then receive the just punishment
which you now evade."

Despite the blizzard Of Thursday even
ing, March II, our meeting was we'll at
tended. We initiated two candidates,
had four applications for membership
and two applications to transfer to our
division. We propose to capture the
prize given by the county president to
during the coming year. We have some
good working members in our division,
amongst them, Thos. Wall, D. Horrigan
and Thos. Jordan. They are hustlers. I
believe the cooperation of officers and

any society are in touch with its officers
it is bound to succeed.

her woman's instinct had been quick to
decide that he was one to be trusted;
moreover, there was something about
him that struck her as oddly familiar.
Was he one Of the boarders at the ho-
tel, and had she seen him there? There
seemed an assured friendliness about
his manner which implied some meas
ure of previous acquaintance. "You
will show me the way?' she anxiously
exclaimed, flushing little to be de-
tected in intent study Of his looks as
he glanced up.
Certainly. But you will have to let
me lift you on your horse, Miss Mere
dith; with your wrist you must not
try to help yourself at ALL" he said,

her to the saddle as though she bad

"You need not have done that" she
protested, rather sharply. II could
have mounted myself perfectly we'll"
II beg pardon, but I am sure it was
better you should not try" he imper-
turbably returned, picking up her whip
from the ground. 1T is such mercy
that 1t is not the left wrist; you can
hold the rein all right" he went on,
with gratulatory smile. "And there's
another silver lining to the cloud.
There's an old shack Of shaft-house
up the draw there, where we can get
under cover until the worst Of this Is
over"
"But my father is waiting for me at
the Grubstake mine" gasped the girl,
ducking her head before furious on
slaught of wind and rein. II must get
there as soon as possible"
"But it is not possible to get there
In such deluge as this" he protested.
He had mounted his own horse, and
now rode up beside her. 'Your father
could not expect you"
ooh, but he would. He would be
frightened. I must get there"
"see here, Miss Meredith" he impa"
tiently exclaimed, with ON air of driv-
ing an unwilling bargain, "you cannot
go on in a storm like this. It will be
raining cats and dogs within three

self to the Grubstahe, If you say so, and

bacon trade, the pig-buyers expressing

St. Patrick's Day Memory.

Once culled a bunch of shamrocks in
the golden long ago,
While my heart was tlrobbing wildly
struggling with itself to know
Was it right for ME to send them to
loved one, far away, .
Just to wear, in. joyous greeting of a
coming Patrick's Day?
He had never said he loved me-neer by
word or look or sign,
Did he lead me into thinking that his
heart was ever mine;
We had never met as lovers, in the long,
sweet summer e'ens;
Yet loved with all the fondness Of
maiden in her teens.
WE'LL I sent him on the Shamrocks, and
a neatly written note,
Then, great fear gathered DER me, and
a gasp came in my throat
Would he think of ME unkindly-over-
bold or little wise?
Would he fling away my Shamrocks-or
preserve them as prizo?
So, they crossed the briny ocean, with a
quiet, kind request
To wear them for the dear Old Isle;-
they were gathered from her
breast
But he guessed my girlish secret; aud he
wrote me tenderly,
That the gift was doubly welcome, hay-
ing come to him from me.
Oh! the bliss that heaved my bosom, and
the light that filled my soul,
And the tears of tender yearning that
from out mine eyes did roll
AS I read his precious letter till each
sweetly worded line,
TO my joy-enraptured vision, seemed to
glorify and shine.
For, he told nae Of his longing thro' q
lonely lapse Of years
How his heart had hungered for mo.
prone to widest whims and
fears;-
OF the spirit love that thrilled him rs he
read my simple rhymes;
Or hts cope to hold my heart in keeping
in The coming times.
Oh: that blessed bunch Of Shamro,ks- -
glowing beautiful and green
Was tyre Of loves sweet union wa!ch
lad grown ou1 lives between;
For we lived as ore in spirit thro the
Years shat we were wed.
All. he went from re 80 quickly that /
cannot think him dead.
There's not day, there's not an hour
that do not feel his loss;
For the blow fell all too swiftly, and
twas hard to lift the cross.
Yet, although l bend beneath it, If bear
it's weight, and pray,
shall clasp his hand in heaven on some
glorious Patrick's Day.

The Flag of Fontenoy.

Comrades, fill up the parting glass
And drink this toast with me;
Round let the sparkling goblets pass,
And pledge it warm and free
Twill kindle up the patriots soul,
And fire his breast with Joy,
Then pledge 1t in brimming bowl,
The flag of Fontenoy.
Tomorrow Oh the battle plain
Perchance twill he our lot
TO fall mid heaps of mangled slain
To die and be forgot.
But brush that starting tear away,
For if we fall, my boys,
High DER our heads shall proudly wave
The flag Of Fontenoy.
On many field beyond the sea
Have our brave fathers stood,
And borne that flag triumphantly
Mid fire and flame and blood.
But never yet could foeman'e hand,
Or tyrant's power destroy
The banner of our own dear land,
The flag of F'ontenoy.
In vain perfidicus England strove
To trample and defile,
We bear our mother isle,
And let her senu her hireling slaves
To plumber and destroy;
We scorn her threats while DER us
waves
The flag Of Fontenoy.
On Limerick's walls, the Yellow Ford,
Cremona's leaguered gate,
On Leinster's hills it proudly SCARED
In good old Ninety Eight.
The peasant serf forgot his woes.
And grasped mis- pike with joy,
When Ger his native hills arose
The flag of F'ontenoy.
And prou1er yet that flag shall wave,
And higher shall it soar
Ger Tara's hill and Emmet's grave,
In Erin's isle once more.
When Joined together, heart and hand.
Weel hail that day with JOY,
And plant upon our own dear land
The flag of Fontenoy.
Then, comrades, I'LL your glass with me,
And drink before We go,
Fill UP tonight, tomorrow we
Shall march to meet the foe.
And If amid the battles shock
Perchance we fall, my boys,
High DER our heads shall proudly float
The Gag of Fontenoy.

KINGS COUNTY.

The Banagher disti1lery has been pur-
chased from the City of Dublin Whisky
Distilleries company for a sum of z100,-
900. This figure is exactly half what the
building originally to cost to erect and
equip with everything Of modern type.
It's enormous size and costly construc-
ton possibly proved a drawback to it's
success, as the interest on capital ex-
penditure ate far into the profits. The
new company is not so encountered. The
company has already bought over 5000
barrels of barley at fair average price;
and it may be mentioned that but for
the opening thus afforded for the 5nar-
keting Of the barley on hands so long,
number of farmers in the district would
have been ruined The present produce
ing capacity of the distillery is half a..
million gallons of whisk per annum,
with bondage accommodation for FIVE
times that quantity.
We regret to announce the death of
Mrs. Anne Timoney, of Shriff, Droma-
hair, who passed away on Feb. 16, at the
residence of her son, at the ripe old age
of "a. The funeral was on the 18th,
when the vast assemblage of people, rep
resentative of every creed and class, who
followed the remains to their final rst-
ing place, at Crevelea Abbey, fully testi-
fed the high esteem in which deceased
and her family are held. The service at
the grave was perfirmed by the Rev.
Father Connolly, who gave an eloquent
eulogy of the deceased, touching on the
simpleness and purity of her life, the
steem in which she was neld, and the de-
votion with which she did her duty.

tration in Ireland there is nothing more
callous or cold FLOODED than the answer
delivered by the English Tory chief Sec
rotary, to the question asked him con-
corning the widespread restitution and
imminent famine of Belmullet, county
Mayo "I have before me-" he said.
Official reports made from sources other
than the local government board, which
confirms Che reports Of that board, From
these reports it appears that there Is no
reason to anticipate general distress OF
q nature requiring the exceptional ex-
pedient of relief works; and 1t is ex-
pected that any case Of distress which
may arise can be dealt with by the exist
ing local authorities. And this In the
face of the universal testimony Tin
Guiding the constabulary) of people on
the spot, that throughout large Sec
ton Of Mayo-one Of the most extensive
counties in Ireland-the crops of all
kinds are practical failures-the food Of
the people has failed, the land has re-
fused it, and they have no money to get
elsewhere. Many Of them are Lying on
Indian meal, procured On credit,and of
this the supply is running short. Be
yond doubt or question, famine threat
ems in Belmullet; and when the people
are actually starving, the Tory chief
secretary speaks flippantly Of "any case
of distress that may arise" This Is the
policy the English government pursued
previous to the great famine of 1916 and
AZ, the horrors of which the Tory min
lister of today would probably have no
objection to see renewed. That is the
only Interpretation to b put on Mr.. Bal
tours infamous declaration.
Mr.. Davitt has given notice that he
will ask the home secretary whether he
has received a petition signed by 5000
citizens of Johannesburg, asking for the
release of the few remaining Irish polit-
ical prisoners; and If, in obedience to
the appeal made by 50 large number
of people in that city, he can see his way
to recommend the liberation of these
men during the jubilee year.
Mr.. John Dillon was also to put i'm
portant questions to the chief secretary.
One is to state the number Of Irish ten
ants who have been turned into care
takers, by the operation Of the seventh
section OF the land law act, 1887, and
whether an estimate can be given Of
thn n,,,,,1o nf o,,oh tonanta who are
thus outside all beneft from the and law
acts. The other question Is as to the
number Of applications made to the land
commission, by evicted tenants, under
the act of 1896, the result of these appli-
cations, and whether the government
intends to take any further steps to
carry out the policy of that section
Mr.. Balfour evidently intends to keep
back the discussion of the Irish financial
grievances as lang as possible. It has
been postponed until after the commit
tee on the educational bill, although an
early day was promised for the discus
sion. The government, however, will
not be allowed to shelve the matter by
an expedient of this kind. If necessary
the Irish members will take special
measureS to force the burning topic
upon the renewed attention of parlia-
ment.

Fruits Canned mt Home.
From Woman's Homo Companion.

1t is said the American stom-
ach has universally suffered from
the use of canned goods. This, of
course, applies only TO bought
goods, which contain some chcmi-
cal to preserve them. Peas. beans.
and tomatoes are treated to pre-
serve their color, and with the
exception of tomatoes, all vegeta-
bles, ii is said, contain something
TO prevent fermentation. Fruits.
being without starch. keep more
easily than vegetables, but many
are variously treated to insure
their ialr appearance as CONNER
cial articles. Nearly all fruits. and
some vegetables. are easily can.
ned for winter use land if a house
keeper once supplies her own
storcrOOm, bought goods will never
have an attraction for her. 1t is
"A mystery why we use bought
canned tomatoes when we are so
often warned against their injuri
Gus effects, and when home can
ned ones are so much better, alto
gether wholesome, so easily pre-
pared and keep so well. Perhaps
it is because of an impression
that the bought ones, at 9 or 10
cents a can, are cheaper. That is
not case. The first cost OF quart
jars, at retail, is 60 cents dozen.
Tomatoes, at the height of the
season, can be bought, even in
cities, at 25 or even 20 cents a
bushel. SO even the first season
a quart jar would not cost 10
cents, and after that the cost of
the jars can be subtracted, max.
ing the cost of the canned vegeta-
bic nominal.

Prosperous Mexico.
From the Nevada Appeal.

From the Nevada Appeal
Some weeks ago, when there
was decline in the price of sill
yer, the gold standard people
gloated over the report that Mex
leo would become bankrupt and
would be compelled by circum-
stances to adOpt the gold standard.
Now President Diaz, in his mes
sage to congress, pictures the re-
public as being quite prosperous.
He says the postoflice and tele-
graph departments, both Of which
are conducted by the government,
show remarkable Increase in bu-
siness. Referring to the decline
in the price of silver as affecting
the finances of Mexico. the mes
sage states that while the present
fiscal year does not begin under
As good auspices us the previous
one iher" Is not for the present
any serious reason for alarm. The
nation Will be able 10 pass through
the dlilicult period confronting it
with the same serenity which it
displayed few wears AGO when
like causes produced alarm. The
President assured congress that
there was every for congratula-
ton on the state OF the country.
which steadily grows richer.while
the revenue of the government is
continually increasing. The re
cent decline in silver. which. il
continued, might occasion serious
consequences, only encourage ma
tional expectation and manufac-
lures. While the temporary ma
ture Of the decline, according to
the reports received bv the ex-
ecutive, permits the Indulgence of
the hope that the situation will
soon clear up. In any event the
national treasury is prepared to
meet it.
The low price of silver is, of
course, seriously felt in Mexico,
where silver is produced for eA-
port, but nevertheless, the coun-
try is prosperous and the exports
are greater than heretofore. Home
manufactures have been stimu
lated by the high prices of foreign
goods, and the country steadily
grows richer and the revenue of
the government is constantly in
creasing.
The fact that foreign contries
do not accept Mexican silver at
its nominal value stimulates home
production and industries and
virtually excludes foreign goods
from tho home market.

The Beet Sugar Industry.
From the Washington Post.

That this country is capable of
producing all the sugar that it
consumes and large surplus for
export is not doubted bv those
who have intelligently investi-
gated the subject. That the
manufacture Of beet sugar opens
up a profitable branch of agri-
cultural industry has been demon
strated in several states. That it
would be good policy, conduc-
ing largely to our material pro-
gress, to keep at home the vast
sums of money that we send
abroad to buy sugar, provided
that we could a!vantageously
raise our own supply, is an aXio-
matte proposition. In Nebraska
the best sugar business is perma
nently established. Grand Island
is one of the principal points in
that state devoted to this indus
try. AS there are many localities
in Maryland and Virginia, as we'll
rs in states further south. where
conditions favorable for this bust
ness exist, it is worth while to
reproduce some interesting facts
from Il recent dispatch from
Grand Island, where 10000 acres
have this year been given up TO
the cultivation OF sugar beets. the
total product being estimated at
about 100, 900 tons. which would
be at the rate of ten tons per
acre. The bccts have been pur
chased on the following schedule.
