A oRuEsoME STORY.
An Incident of the Irish Rebellion OF
1893.


1898.
In Macmillan's Magazine, Mr.. G. Lit
ton Faulkner tells the story of the
French Invasion of Ireland" Here is
one terrible incident of terrible time:
one pathetic picture remains of this
last and terrible chapter in the abor-
tive instruction in Mayo in the record
of the fate of one of the widest and
poorest of the poor and wild villages
of the Laggan. Here, where Down
patrick Head stands out against the
ocean, is a striking natural curiosity
called the Poolnashanthana. chasm
nearly half mile in length, which
cuts clean through the headland, and
from the top of which the clear green
water can be seen so feet below. Near
the bottom of the chasm and along it's
Whole length runs ledge of rock, bare
when the tide is out. but covered by
many feet of water when it rises. The
peasantry, returned from the rebellion,
were busy one October day endeavor-
elected harvest, when suddenly the
alarm was spread that the troops from
Killala were at hand. Well knowing
what they had to expect from the ter
rible Fraser Fencibles. the rebel har-
vesters surprised and unable to es-
cape to the mountains, made for the
adjacent cliffs, whose rough faces they
were used to climbing, and with whose
caves they were familiar. 1t was with
many of them a constant diversion TO
descend to the ledge of rock at the
Poolnashanthana in pursuit of seals
or seabirds' nests to which they could
gain access by means Of a rope let
down from the top of the cliff 1t
CHANGED that at the moment Of the
solGers' raid the tide was out. and
quickly bethinking themselves that
! there was a place of safety in viii III
they might find a temporary refuge
they descended to the ledge, the rope
being held for them by a young wo-
man, who was to return and release
them as soon as the soldiers had with
| drawn. Many hours they waited there,
expecting every moment that the rope
would be lowered by their friend. But
though the soldiers had retired long
ere the tide rose, the woman came not.
| Terrified by the presence Of the mill
| tary, she had fed to the hills with out
remembering her charge or apprlsing
others of the hiding-place of these FIVE
and-twenty stalwart peasants. Night
came on, and with it the remorseless
tite running high above the level of
the ledge; and when morning dawned
the villagers, looking down into the
chasm, saw the lifeless corpses of heir
sons, brothers and husbands washing
to and fro with the idle splash of the
waves in the abyss of the Poolnashan-
| thana.

SEEKING FOR PEARLS.
Quest of the Elusive Gems Surrounded
by Romantic Traditions.

by Romantic Traditions.
The history of pearl seeking has
about it so much of the glamour of
romance and possible gain that the
difficulties and risks of the quest are
well-nigh forgotten. Men love a pur-
suit that entails much danger and much
knowledge of men and elements. Long
before the Roman conquest men were
hazarding the dangers of newly-dis-
covered rivers in search OF the elusive
gems, and one of the prime reasons
for undertaking the expedition into
great Britain was to obtain the fair
"congealed dewdrops pierced by sun
beams" which poets and philosophers
in all ages have made the emblems
of purity and worth, and which the
Roman women so much coveted. There
is scarcely a sacred literature in ex-
istence in which pearls do not bear
reverent meaning, and no nation where
place and favor hare not been bought
by the beautiful, lustr0uS products of

FROM CONVICT TO GUARD.


Employed by His JaiIers.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Henry Berner who spent over twenty
years behind prison walls for murder
of which he always declared his limo
cence, is now wearing the uniform Of
a guard at the institution in Jefferson
Vile, Ind, where he so long wore the
garb of convict. Berner was paroled
by the board of managers of the re-
formatory the first week in February
but he failed to obtain employment as
required by the new parole law until
last Wednesday, when it was an
nounced that he would go to his moth
er at Cumminsville, o., a suburb of Gin
cinnati and there reside, having COM
piled with that important requirement
During his long confinement Berner
became almost Indispensable to the in
stitution, and after his departure his
value became still more apparent. Su-
perintendent Hert and the board of
managers determined to recall him and
place him in charge of the engine
rooms. This was done, and he has been
quietly at his duties since Monday,
when he returned from Cumminsville
Berners alleged offense was the MUIR
der of his employer, barber named
Barlein, at Vincennes. After Berner's
conviction his betrothed married him
in Jail, and she was loyal to him dur
ing his confinement. She moved to
Jeffersonville so as to be near him, and
met him at the reformatory door when
he stepped out a free man.

OF the captains serving under Com
modore Dewey, Charles V. Grdley, of
the flagship Olympia, was born in In
diana, but was appointed cadet from
Michigan on September 26, 1860. He
remained in the Naval academy until
1868, when he was made an ensign
and attached to the steamship Oneida
of the West Gulf squadron, from 1863
to 1865. He was on board his ship
in the battle of Mobile bay, on August
5, 1864. At the close of the war hav
ing served in number of engage
ments, he was attached to the steam
sloop Brooklyn, of the Brazilian squad
ron, and later was on board the Kear
sarge. He was promoted to lieutenant
on February 81, 1867, and to lieuten-
ant-commander one year later, and as
signed to the Michigan and afterward
to the Monongahela. He was executive
officer of the flagship Trenton of the
European squadron, and was made

crew took to their boats and landed on
the opposite side of the river, after
setting her on fire, Soon lightened by
the loss of the crew and by the fire,
she drifted off, and, blazing and salut-
ing with bursting shells, she drlfted
down the river, until finally the fire
reached her magazine, and her career
was ended in one great explosion.
Dewey was next attached to the
steam gunboat Agawan, of the North
Atlantic blockading squadron, and he
took part in the two attacks made
on Fort Fisher in December, 1864, and
January, 1865. In March, 1865, he got
his commission as lieutenant-com-
mander, and as such served on the
famous old Kearsarge and on lne Col
orado, the flagship of the European
squadron, until 1868, when he was sent
for service to the Naval academy. He
was commissioned commodore on Feb
ruary 2S. 1896

aboard the steam frigate Wabash, for
a cruise in the Mediterranean. Dewey
got his commission as lieutenant on
April 10, 1861 eight days after Fort
Sumter was fired upon, and he was
Immediately assigned to join the Mis-
sissippi and do duty with the West
Gulf squadron. He was on the Mis-
sissippi when she took part with Far
ragut's other vessels in forcing an en-
trance to the Mississippi river, and
again when the fleet ran the gauntlet
of fire from the forts below New Or
leans, in April, 1862, and forced the
surrender of that city. The ship he
was in belonged to Captain Bailey's
division of the fleet which attacked
Fort st. Philip.
The hottest fight that the Mississippi
ever engaged in was her last one, and
this was perhaps as hot as any of the
war. In March, 1863, the fleet tried
to run by the Confederate batteries at
Port Hudson. Some of the ships got
as far as a narrow part of the chan
mel where they met land batteries al
most muzzle to muzzle, and then they
were forced to retreat The Missis-
sippi did not get as far as this. A
foggy day had been chosen for the at
tempt, and this was soon made more
obscure by the smoke of battle, and
amid this the Mississippi lost her bear
ings and ran ashore, Her officers
found she had struck just under the
guns of a battery in the middle of the
line of Notifications and one of the
strongest of the lot In half an hour
$50 shots struck the vessel and she
was riddled from end to end. There

AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.

Pilgrimages to some shrine of st. Vitus,
to cure the disease known as st. Vitus'
dance are no longer made The modern
way of treating this affection is within
reach of every household, as is shown by
the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the
eleven-year old son of George Wagner, of
5l5. 9th ST., Arkansas City, Kan. The
father tells the story as follows:
"Over year ago." he says, "Karl was
taken with St Vitus' dance and continued
to grow worse during five months he was
under a physicians care. His tongue be-
came paralyzed and we could not under

THE TERMS oH PEACE.

II Is reported that Spain is now
willing to make peace, provided the
terms do not emanate from the en-
envy. This is generous. Spain has
yet to learn, along with many other
things, that the American people,
though slow to fight. are inclined
to be rather severe In conditions OF
surrender when they have fought a
war to the finish says the Kansas
City Journal. America encouraged
European influences directed to-
ward Spain with view TO prevent
war, but she will not allow other
powers to dictate terms of peace.
II is one of the possibilities that
some other power may be made the
medium of communication, but II
will not be made the dictator nor
the arbitrator of terms. Spain's
pride still stands in her way, but as
she has lost every opportunity to
protect il from fall she might as
well prepare a soft spot for it TO
land on, for il is inevitable that II
shall be humbled.

LIGHTNINO'S WORK.

During the rain storm which
came up shortly before nine o'clock
Sunday night lightning struck L.
ID. Phillips barn at Riceville and in
a very short space of time the en-
tire building with it's contents was
reduced to ashes says the Galena
Times. Loss in the neighborhood
of $500 to $1,000; no insurance.
The barn contained four head of
horses, three good buggies and a
surrey, besides about $50 worth of
feed, the loss of which will prove
no little burden to Mr.. Phillips.
The lightning also struck the liv-
cry barn in Empire City during
Saturday nights storm, knocking
all the horses down and stunning
the men who were sleeping there
so badly that il was some fifteen or
twenty minutes before they came
around sufficiently TO tell what had
happened. The bolt entered the
roof about the comb and near the
square front, going through to the
ground and tearing hole some six
or eight inches in diameter in it's
passage. A smaller bolt also tore
through a small building near by.
Those who saw the flash declare
that they saw balls of fire about the
size of mans fist roll out on the
ground Immediately following the
flash.
