SETTLES FOR A ROBBERY.
An Unusual Case OF Restitution at Clin-

An Unusual Case Of Restitution ut Clin
ton.
A most unusual as well as interest
ing case of restitution has come tC
light in this city, says the Clinton
Herald Thirteen years ago the hard
ware store of Charles Baldwin & Co.
was broken into and robbed of knives,
razors and other fine goods to the
amount of over $50. There was moth
ing peculiar about the robbery, and
as none of the goods were ever re-
covered the matter was soon forgot
ten. There was nothing to lead to
the suspicion of any person and the
theft was laid to the door of visiting
burglars. Mr.. Baldwin, the head OF
the firm, had almost forgotten the
circumstances; but he had it recalled
in a most remarkable manner. A
man entered his place of business
the same where the theft had been
committed-and asked to see Mr..
Baldwin privately. He was taken
into the Office and at once began q
confession. He said that he had com
mitted the theft and disposed of the
goods, profiting to the amount of
their value. He had come to make
PREPARATION, and asked to pay for the
goods, with interest and all expenses
and trouble occasioned added. Mr.
Baldwin received the money and gave
receipt. At first the man de-
clined to give his name, but
finally revealed his identity. He
handed Mr.. Baldwin his card. under
the assurance that his identity would
never be revealed. Who the man is.
Mr.. Baldwin and the man himself
only know; but it is known that the
one time thief and robber is now in
business. is prosperous and has a wife
and children.
The man explained to Mr.. Baldwin
that he committed the robbery when
and out of work. 1t was
his only crime. He secured work soon
after, and has never since had the
temptation so strongly placed before
him to do wrong. He said he had
long wanted to make the matter right,
but had lacked the courage. The
stranger was well dressed, of fine
personal appearance, and seems to
have plenty of money.

rams parents were made the victims of
the infamous ''rack-renting" system of
Irish landlordism, which has driven so
many of the flower and youth OF Irish
manhood and womanhood into exile and
not infrequently to the bottom of the At
lantic to feed the sharks. They emigrat-
ed to this country, bringing with them
Patrick, who started at that tender age to
help earn his own living. He procured
employment in large mercantile estab-
lishment where he worked for comparf
atively small salary. Gradually, through
his energy, attention to his duties and
his answering devotion to the paths of
rectitude, he rose to higher and more
trusted position. During this time he
devoted his nights to the acquiremnnt
an education--the lack of which he sorely
felt-and which, by sacrificing the other
enjoyments of life, he at last succeeded
in acquiring. Having large and varied
experience in the commercial world, he
embarked in the -four and feed business
on his own account, and rapidly built up
a large and profitable trade. He is now
regarded as one of the most successful
merchants of Washington, d. c. Mr..
Moran has been connected with Irish
patriotic societies since he was graduated
from swaddling clothes, and, while al
ways convinced that the best way to set
tie the Irish question was by the arbitra-
ment of the sword, he always gave loyal
support and financial aid to every move
ment having for its object the ameliora-
ton of his beloved native land. Mr.. |
Moran possesses many of the elements
which make an ideal leader. He demon
strated these qualities on many occasions
since his connection with the A. o. II.
The A. o. H. was organized in Washing
ton in 1891, Mr.. Moran being a charter
member, and rapidly rose to the rank of
leader, being successfully elected Di-
vision President, County President and
District President. During his term as
District President he has shown his won
derful ability as an organizer increasing
the membership in the district from
about 300 to ,200-an increase unparal-
leled in the whole United States.

the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries,
general chapters of the order having been
held in 1881, 1902, 1906 and 1916. The
Black Abbey during Queen Elizabeth
time was transformed into a court of as
sizes, the altar being used for the Judges
bench. On the accession of James l.
the Irish Catholics were persuaded that
their churches and religious institutions
would be at once restored, and, anticipat-
ing the royal license, proceeded of their
own accord to occupy them in many
places. A Dominican, Edward Ranchter,
broke open the Black Abbey, removed
the various appendagess of the court, re-
erected the affairs and reinstated in full
possession the religious of his order. The
military authorities, however, soon made
known to the citizens that they had been
mistaken in their calculations, and the
made an humble apology
and promised to restore the Black Abbey
to its former condition of courthouse,
but this promise was not Immediately
carried out. The remains of this abbey
church are extensive and interesting.
The structure was cruciform in shape.
The most eligible part of the abbey was
repaired many years ago, and has since
hen been used as a church.

Progressive and Liberal Ger
man Citizen.

Mr.. Henry c. Lauer, of 430 East Jeffer-
son street, one of the first patrons of the
Kentucky Irish American, is most
liberal and progressive German citizen.
After completing his early education he
became identified with the II. d. Block
Company, with whom he remained nine
years. Being endowed with the pro-
verbal German thrift and business acri-
men, Mr.. Lauer determined six years
ago to go into business for himself at
Jackson and Jefferson streets, where he
was so successful that he was compelled
to secure more commodious quarters for
his growing trade. Consequently he
moved to his present place, where still
greater success followed him, until now
he conducts in addition branch house
at 905 West Market street. Heis also the
owner of first-clsss livery stable, pos
sessing some of the finest horses and car
riages to be found in the city.
Mr.. Lauer pays especial attention to
family trade at both his downtown and
uptown houses, promptly filling teic
phone and mail orders. Besides being
very liberal in contributing to worthy
he takes a great interest in
all matters pertaining to good govern
ment, and is faithful worker for the
party.

in the city.

of its local fund, thereby curtailing the

of the fine, but his great love of lemons
induces his regular attendance.

Order of Hibernians, and for several years
was President of the Land League. He
was for several years an officer in the
Robert Emmett Literary Society.
Mr.. Clines was also firm believer in
trade unionism. At one time he was
President of the Machinists and Black
smiths Union.
Mr.. Clines married Miss Mary Man
ming. She still survives. They were
blessed with three children-two BOYS
and girl. The girl is eight years old.
The oldest boy was named in honor of
Michael Davitt, the Irish patriot. Mr..
Davitt and Mr.. Clines were close friends.
One of Mr.. Cline's last acts was to send
money to the famine-stricken people Of
Ireland.
Mr.. Clines was intensely patriotic. One
of his proudest possessions was portrait
of Daniel O'Connell, the Great LIBERIA
tor" This picture of O'Connell was car
ried in one of the great Irish parades and
was subsequently presented to Mr..
Clines.

silent. Every charitable institution in

that form of government which has for
untold centuries misgoverned us both.
Therefore we, Irish citizens and Irish

posed to an alliance between these Unit
