A writer in the London Spectator tells
some good Irish stories. In a certain
steamboat the following notice was post
ed: "The chairs in the cabin are for la
dies. Gentlemen are requested not to
make use of them till the ladies are seat
ed" Just after the visit of the Duke and
Duchess of York he clipped the following
delicious advertisement from a Kingston
paper: James O'Mahoney, wine and
spirit merchant Kingston, has still on
hand a small quantity of the whisky
which was drunk by the Duke of York
wilhelm Dublin" The writer goes on to
say: Celtic fancy has been well descrb-
ed as a reaction against the despotism of
fact. The definition was recalled to nv
mind by several stories 1 heard and par
ticularly by this one of an amusing miscal-
culation by a tramp. Two laborers set out
from Wexford to walk 20 Dublin. BY the
time they reached Bray they were very

Ana shells few screaming to and fro.
While blue or gray in sharp distress
Rode fast, their shattered lines to press
Again upon the lingering foe.

In Southern homes how warm hearts glow

Some measure of true thankfulness,
And grateful loving memory show

Two Things in the Judges charge.

Two Things in the Judges Charge.
In his charge to the grand jury on Mon
day. Judge Falligant called attention forci-
bly, to a number of offenses. Among others
10 selling liquor on Sundays and gambling.
How many years have the authorities been
trying apparently to put a stop to these
two evils? At every term of court the
judge charges The grand jury in regard
70 them, and once in a while those who
conduct gambling games are indicted and
fined The Sunday liquor selling goes right
on just as if no one had any objection 20
it; and, in fact, nobody seems to be clothed
with authority to check it. The only
check that it has received was given It
by Mr. McDonoush when he was Mayor.
He closed up the saloons quite effectual-
ly on Sundays and yet some quite good
people held up their hands I'm horror at
what they called his spy system.
1t Is clear that those guilty of the of
lenses under consideration have no fear
Of grand juries, and. apparently. neither
the police nor the county detectives nor
The city detectives nor other officials re-
gard it as their business to see to it mat
the saloons are kept closed on Sundays
or that gambling is prevented
1t Is the duty of the Judge to call the
attention of grand juries to these evils
but there is nothing to justify the con-
eiusion that anything no may say win
have the effect of preventing these evils
IN the county. There appears to be a
sort OF silent consent that they shall be
endured.

How the Monterey was Named.

The preparations for her launching were
made at San Francisco. living NJ. Scott,
general manager of the Union Iron Works,
was at Washington, and a number of Cali
fornians wired him 20 use his influence
with Benjamin F. Tracy, then Secretary
Of the Navy to have the ship named for
some California town, and Scott hit upon
Monterey, relates the Chicago Tribune.
TN see what I can do" said the anna
bic secretary, and, ringing a bell. he sum
moued the head Of the war department
having the matter in charge When the
matter was explained the chief of the bu-
re1u replied
But you know, Mr.. Secretary, the rules
require that ships of THAI class shall be
named in honor of some naval battle in
which the Americans have participated
So far as l know, there has never been
a battle of Monterey"
This rule has been changed since, but
Mr.. Scott, seeing the corner he was in as
the matter stood, returned promptly:
Yes; It is true that there has never
been a battle at Monterey, but let me tell
you a story. In 1916, when we were hav-
ing our little unpleasantness with Mexico,
an American man-of-war was lying IN the
harbor of Mazatlan. Near him lay an
Euglshman, who had an uncomfortable
way of keeping her guns pointed in the di-
rection of the American. Now, that Yam
kee skipper, who was typical of his class,
got it into his head to raise his flag at
Monterey, Cal, which was the capital of
that territory, and it so happened that the
Enghshman got the same notion about the
same time. The Yankee suspected some
thing OF the kind and made up his mind
not to be outWitted.
Late that afternoon he sent a lot of
his men ashore. and when the boats re-
turned to the ship without them The Brit
isher made up his mind that they would
not be back until the following day. Sat
isfed with his conclusions, he sat down to
wait But the Yankee was a hustler, as
Yankee sailors always are. The night
was as dark as a stack of black cats, and
along about 10 O'Clock the American boats,
with muffied oars, rowed the crew back
to the ship, and in the inky darkness that
Yankee skipper slipped his cables and
warped his ship out of the harbor without
the fact even being suspected by the Eng
hshman. When day broke he was fifty
miles up the coast, scudding along before
a ten-knot breeze.
THE other fellow saw he had been out
generated. but he made an effort TO rec
tify his blunder. He had a smart crew
and a fast ship. There was no reason, he
figured, why he might not overtake his
rival and beat him to Monterey. He tried
it, and came very nearly making a sue
cess of it, He sailed into Monterey har-
Dor just two hours behind the American,
and dropped his anchor in time to see the
Stars and Stripes rise to the head of the
Flagstaff in the plaza and futter to the
breeze. Monterey and California were
ours"
Don't say another word, Scott" said
Secretary Tracy. THAT ship shall be
the Monterey"
And Monterey she ia

Two of Spains squadrons, that of the
Philippines and the one we have named
the Cape Verde squadron, having been eff
fectIvely disposed of. il is now of interest
70 note what ships Spain has left which
may possibly cause us Inconvenience. The
dispatches lately have referred to a third
organization. called the Cadiz squadron,
under command of Admiral Camara. This
is composed of Spains only frst-class bat
tleship, the Peiayo, and the armored
cruisers Carlos V ana Cardinal Cisneros
and probably also the protected cruisers
Alfonso XIII and Lepanto. The Pelayo
is credited with being a very formidable
craft. She is of nearly 10000 tons dlsplace-
ment, has an armor belt nearly is inches
thick carries two 1212-inch, two 11-inch
and nine 5i%-inch guns. besides smaller
pieces, and seven torpedo tubes. Her
speed is placed at about sixteen knots The
Carlos carries two u-inch and eight Sig
inch guns, besides a large secondary bat
terry, and six torpedo tubes. The Cisneros
is Of the Oquendo class. like the cruisers
penned up at Santiago. These are the best
fighting vessels that Spain has left. There
are a number Of other ana smaller vessels
OF the regular navy, and host Of auxiliary
cruisers, but they would not be of mucb
account except as commerce destroyers
Should the Cadiz squadron be sent away
from home waters. the Spanish coast
would be practically at the mercy of heavy
American ships should out government
deemEt wise to carry the war to the enc
my's shores.

The political situation in Pennsylvania

culated TO disgust decent Republicans with
their party and cause them to vote against

course of a speech delivered last Friday,
after the convention, Mr.. Wanamaker

ing the convention held in my pocket a
