YE CAN'T DOWN IRELAND.
An AnCcdote Showing the Hibcr-
mans Readiness NJ Repnrtcc.

one Of the best things that has been
told lately to illustrate the ready wit
of the Irish was related in short adj
dress the other day by Hra Singh Puri
of Punjab, India, who is making a
short stay i'm this country preparatory
to resuming his labors in the mission
field i'm India. The occasion was
meeting of a literary club. and the
tonic under discussion was patriotism.
Well, patriotism had been running
riot around there for some time. Two
or three soul-inspiring speeches had
been made on the subject, with all sorts
of references to "the flag "Old Glory"
and the stars and stripes. An old sol
dier arose and in a measure threw cold
water on the desire of some Of the
younger recruits 10 eXterminate the
Spanish nation. His remarks We're not
received with marked approval Mr..
Puri was then called on for speech.
lie was delighted to see such an over
flowing Of patriotic sentiment, and
said that it reminded him of an Irish
celebration that he once attended. The
speaker Of the occasion was an Irish
man, who was making one of the
speeches that only Irishmen can make
when on the subject of their oppression
by England and of their devotion to
their native land. The speaker finished
his address and was So worked up that
he burst forth with "Hurrah for Ire
land"

CALLED BACK TO LIFE.
A Wiie's Entreaties Calls a Dead
Man Back Who Says lie Was IN
Heaven.

From the Buffalo Times.
\ strange story of life beyond the
grave comes from Santa Monica, Cal.
The facts are vOuChed for by many
reliable witnesses.
William Graham, young man who
lived i'm a little cottage near the SOUTH
ern town, apparently died of con-
sumption recently. lie had been ill
for months, and i'm the presence Of his
weeping wife and number of the
neighbors he gasped out his life. An
undertaken was called to prepare the
body for the grave, while the widow
was led from the room i'm an agony of
grief. After twenty minutes the young
woman tore herself from her friends
and rushing to the death chamber,
threw herself on the body. In an ag-
oniZed voice she called to her loved
one to return, and the watchers in a
moment saw a trcmur run through
Graham's body. Mrs. Graham also
noticed it and began to rub her hus-
bands face and limbs. Within an
hour he recovered sufficiently to speak.
Practical ones say it was a case Of
suspended animation and that the
wife's movements started circulation.
But there were i'm the room people Of
wide experience who declare that the
man was dead. and William Graham
himself says that he went out of life
and journeyed into another country,
one that was far more beautiful than
this. He says he was i'm heaven, heard
wonderful strains of music and saw
many angels.

Little, if anything else, attracts
much attention on this side, but the
person or persons who can convey to
someone else, the earliest news con-
Cerning the war and when the Thir-
tcenth regiment will be called into
service. From early i'm the day until
1880 o'clock at night a knot of men,
numbering anywhere from three up to
fifty can be seen clustered around the
Tribune bulletin board at Jenkins
pharmacy corner of South Main ave-
nue. and jackson street
The greatest desire for news has it's
source in the pride of residents of this
side that one whole company, and one
to be proud of, goes from here. Here
and there in the crowd, one more anX-
iOuS than the rest can be noticed.
Approach him and you will, no doubt,
fad his son is a member of the guard
and the story is told.
striking proof of the complete
centering of interest in the bulletins
is found in the fact that the evening
outdoor meeting of the Salvation
Army corps hardly attracts IA listner.

POLICE COURT CIrLLINGS

The two men who created the excite
ment in the Italian boarding house on
South Ninth street, Sunday evening,
and who were arrested shortly after
W2'3 10y Lieutenant Williams and
I2;.oiman Evans, We're given a hear
t2@ yesterday morning before Alder
man Davis. They proved to be French
men, instead Of Italians, and gave their
names as Cello Seraphin and Cerio Oc-
tow, both residents of Back street.
The former was fined s. on charge
of drunkenness and disorderly conduct
and was released. The latter, who
made trouble and acted as if he would
like to stab the lieutenant at the time
of his arrest, was fined SIS on a charge
Of drunkenness, disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest. He claims he did not
have a knife, only too much beer"
AS was given exclusively in yesterdays
issue of The Tribune, it was claimed
that he did have and that a boy picked
it up near the scene of the struggle,
but he did not show up at the station
house until late last evening.
The boy proved to be a young man,
and the knife a large pocket clasp
knife. 1t was opened when picked up
and he found il near where the man
was arrested. He saw how necessary
it was TO bring it to the police, having
read the account of the arrest in The
Tribune, and would have brought il
sooner but could not. Octow Is still
held and will, no doubt, have to answer
a more serious charge in the morning.

TEST ALARM.

The alarm which was sent i'm from
box AZ, corner of Broadway and Fifth
avenue last evening at S.22 o'clock was
meant only for a test. The West
Scranton companies had been notified
of the time and the box from which
the alarm would be sent by Chief
Hickey, and did not, therefore, res
pond.
The fireman at the central shaft,
where the crew gong for West Scran-
ton was recently erected is not pro-
ticient in handling the gong as yet
and it was to give him chance that
the alarm was sent in.

ticon views There were no films to burn
and no volitile chemicals to explode.
but a simple projection lantern, ilu-
minated by an electric light.
The cause OF the accident was the
improper electric installation of the
building, as the overheating OF
the connections and consequent fire
was in the regular equipment Of the
building and not at the connection
with the apparatus; and if the occur
renee will have the effect of preventing
any future illustrated entertainments,
as suggested in your paper, the school
will be deprived of very valuable
means Of spreading educational infor-
nation, through the Misrepresentation
Of the character of the instruments.
