speaker OF the evening, the Hon. J. J.
Dwyer. He was gree;ed with prolonged
applause. He said:
other nations celebrate their victories. Ire
land celebrates her defeats. Other nations set
apart days for the commemoration of their
conquests and to do honor TO some hero and
conqueror; we with Irish blood flowing in our
veins come together, with love OF our land in
our hearts that Is unspeskabie and reverentiy
lay wreath upon the grave OF some one OF our
many martyrs. Our duty is non e the less
Doble-it does not require success to make 1t
holy.
The speaker then began the story of
Wolfe Tones life with the question, "Who
was Wolfe Tone" and answered it to saw
that, though enshrined as one of her fore
most and indomitable patriots and mar
tyrs, very little is known of the details of
his life. Then. with enthusiastic elo-
quence, the speaker ran through the his
tory of the patriot from the time be be-
gan as a Protestant to work for the
emancipation of Irish Catholics, IN order
that Irishmen of all religious denomina-
tiops might join in the work of emanci-
pating their beloved land.
This was his first great STEP" said the
speaker, "and mere l would stop 10 say:
Perish the hand that would bring re-
Iigious dissension into the politics of Ire
land; perish the hand that would bring
religious dissension into the politics of
any landP
He followed the story to the time the
hero took his own life to avoid the igno-
minious death that England would have
meied out 10 him after being captured in
battle.
In an eloquent peroration the speaker
declared the work of Tone was not in vain.
Ii served as a mighty and lasting stimu-
luS 10 the end that Ireland shall be free.

was the founder OF Irish republican ideas. 1t
is the flag OF the Irish Republicans of the pres

folds the factions which have divided Ireland
in the past will all uaite TO carry out the prin-
ciples which Tone taught.
When they do SO there is no power on earth
strong enough TO prevent their country TAX

peoples champion.
Mr.. Mcguire said he wished to thank
the Celtic Union for the pleasure of ap-
pearing on the platform in honor of the
great Irish patriot and martyr, Theobald
Wolfe Tone. He disclaimed any inien-
tion OF making a speech. however, but
paid hign ompliment to the address OF
Mr.. Dwyer, and made a few comments
upon the life work of Wolf Tone That
patriot had taught Ireland a grand lesson.
He had struck for individual liberty. He
had shown them that Catholic and Prot
estant had rights irrespective OF their re-
ligious beliefs. Since Tones time Eng
land has come 10 be governed by the
English people. That grand old man
Gladstone has enfranch ised the masses
and the first lesson he taught to the en-
franchIsed people of that country was
that justice must be done to Ireland

speaker. 1.-THE English people are to-day

page in English history that must be

The Orpheum.

The Orpheum people are now presenting q
run OF very good specialties and it is quite a
relief, as for time this theater was giving
some particularly poor shows. The new peo-
pie on the bill this week are all meeting with
success. Lew Dockstader, one of the old-time
minstrels, made decided hit with his catchy
budget of songs and witty political lectures.
Alex Heindl, q very talented 'cellist, also
crea ted warm impression. Aaron ana Her
bort, as an acrobatic team, are certainly good
and the same may be said OF Canfieid and
Carleton and Conway and Leland. Josephine
Sabel and the Russell brothers are still doing
their customary good roles.

Tivoli Opera-Housa.

The Tivoh was packed last night by an auoI-
ence anxious to welcome back Edward Stevens
in Wang" incidentally an excellent per-
formsnce of a comic operetta was given. The
el.-round company was a strong one and the
staging and costuming were glittering and
effective.
When Stevens made his appearance as the
Vioeroy OF Siam, mounted on the sacred ele-
phsn;, the further action of the performance
was blocked by persistent dem monstration on
the part OF the audience. Finally. however,
the operetta was allowed TO proceed, but at
the end of the first act there was persistent
demand for a speech. Stevens came before the
curtain and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen-I hope l may say
friends: suppose l might indulge in great
deal OF siry persihage to tell you how glad
am to be home again, but think the plainest
language comes from the heart, and viii just
say l am swfully glad" Stevens named
number of distinguished ompanies OF which
he has oeen member since going East, and
said none ot them were equal TO the old T1voi
company Of nine years ago.
Stevens gave very amusing and effective
rendering of the Vieeroy' role. 1t was
something on De Wolf Hopper's lines. it is
true, but great part OF his byplay was his
own. He sang pIeasingly. aud, altogether,
made a very favorable i'm mpression.

Rural Free Delivery.

The report of the first assistant post
master general, Perry S. Heath, for the
fiscal year ending June 30, has been
made public. The report treats of rural
free delivery as follows:
Rural free delivery has been put to the
test of practical experiment in 20 States
and over A different routes. The CO.
operation of the committee served has in
every instance been tfectively given.
The general satisfactory results sug-
gest the feasibility of making rural de-
livery permanent feature of postal adj
ministration In the United States; not
Immediately or in all districts at once,
but in some gradual and graduated form
regulated by the present experiments.
Public policy requires some advancement
to be made and that the postal service
should be brought more into line with
advancing prosperity and increasing pop
ulation.
Sooner or later, the United States will
have to follow the lead of the more
densely populated countries and estab-
lsh delivery service all over the settled
portions of its vast territory. Under
wise restrictions it can be extended wi1h
great advantage to class of our citizens
who rightly or wrongly deem themselves
neglected in legislation--th agricultural
class-and without serious detriment
to the revenues.

Patronize Home Merchants.

The Bangor News contains the fol-
lowing business truth, applicable to
Skowhegan as well as Bangor:
Loyalty to the town or city we live In
Ia the whole secret OF muieipal progress.
Merchants and manufacturers come
among us, invest capital, hire help and
add to the wealth aud influence of the
city by increasing its volume of business.
Ii Il, then, the duty of every loyal citi-
zen TO spend his money at home Ia order
that all the different branches of In
dustry and business may be conducted
at profit and thus made permanent.
To help others get living in your own
city helps you get yours, for IL adds to
the volume of business, aud some of that
business will be likely TO come to you II
you are looking for 1t.
Therefore, patroniZe home industries.
Buy your goods from home merchants
Ii will pay you to follow this rule
Don't wait until you go to Boston OF
New York to buy the things you need.
Whether they be clothes, dress goods,
millinery or anything at ALL Buy them
of your home merchant. Above all
don't buy your goods OF travelling agents
for Boston or New York stores They
come among us for week or two, in.
vest In nothing but board bill and al
the business they do subtracts just sc
much from the total volume of the city's
business for the year The money they
take goes out of town to stay. You
home merchant shows you his goods
spread out before you. He doesn't de
pend upon samples. but he invests his
money in the goods he has to sell and al
lows you to see them before you buy
The success of his business depends upor
you, just as the success of your business
or of the business which gives you EN-
ployment depends upon the people who
live all about you. Give your business
to Bangor enterprise and let Boston anC
New York look out for their own.

Very True.
Baltimore Sun

Some things are imported into the
United States from foreign countries
which our farmers should produce
During eight months of the present year
We have bought from abroad over a
million and half of eggs. During the
same months of 1896 we bought about
four and a half millions. With corn so
abundant that we have no market for it,
our farmers should have eggs to sell to
the rest of the world after supplying
this country. During the same eight
months of 1897 we imported nearly a
hundred and ii ty million pounds of rice
and rice meal, 100000 pounds of cheese,
21,573 pounds of butter. These are a
few OF the items. All of them might
have been raised az home.
