They'll Visit Erin
To 1@aY Honor 10 '98

I OF a great man. He was the first Irish
man who ever transmitted every Irish
revolutionistss hope-foreign interven-
tion-into a hard fact. He did in 1896
enlist the aid Of the Frenc in Ireland's
behalf. Napoleon placed a formidable
fleet and a large and force at Tones
disposal. The wind n the sea wrecked
many of the ships and scattered the
rest. A few reached Bantry bay. but
their officers refused to and after the
disaster that had overtaken the expedi-
tion as a whole. The judgment of mod
ern history is that had hot the ele-
ments favored Britain then as in the
days OF the Spanish armada that ma
ton would have been dealt a deadly
blow.
Tone succeeded SO far later, French
historians now say, that the Emperor
Napoleon himself contemplated a de-
scent on England by way of Ireland.
His plans were changed. and instead Of
Ireland he chose Egypt. on this point
again historians observe that had the
original plan been followed the history
OF Europe might have been different,
Napoleon might never have found Wa
terloo. and Ireland might have been free.
A Martyr of Martyrs.
But the indomitable pluck of Tone
was never conquered. He saw a second
expedition fitted out on the coast of
what is now Belgium scattered by
storms. A third landed, but il was COM
posed of a few rotten ships and carried
only a force of 1000 or 5000 French
troops under General Hoche. But the
English were ready. Lord Edward
Fitzgerald. who was expected to lead
the rising at home. was jailed before a
blow was struck. The French and the
few Irish auxiliaries were met on the
landing at killala and defeated. The
men of Wicklow made a stand at Vine
gar Hill and were swept out OF exist
ence.
Tone died In the Killala Jail. He was
to have been hanged. but he held "A
commission i'm the French service. and
he was saved from that fate by Napo-
Icons threat of retaliative massacre of
English prisoners. Anyhow, he died.
The English say he committed suicide
by opening an artery In his arm; the
Irish say he vas assassinated by his
jailers. h English admit his genius:
the Irish venerate his name as that of a
martyr of martyrs.
BY birth he was an aristocrat of an
Gent lineage-an owner of vast estates.
His patriotism swept aside personal
considerations, and his genius brought
national Independence almost within
reach of his country. He failed. but he
failed like a patriot, and paid the for

Great song Sung In as.
Only once since hat time have Irish
men been stirred by a similar spirit.

A PRANK OF LONG AGO.
Long Separated Sisters Talk vigorously

From the washington star.
On a summer afternoon, in the year
1865, there were two Did lady passengers
in a Baltimore & Ohio train, speeding
to Washington engaged in conversation
in the highest pitch of voice. for they
had each been led to believe that the
other was deaf, and were ignorant that
they were sisters, who had thus been
brought together by a fun-loving son
and nephew (who was then in hiding)
after 40 years had passed.
They had passed the childhood years
of their lives on one of those old-time
estates in the lower part of the eastern
shore of the Chesapeake, which had
passed from father to son from the
colonial days. When only ~ and Ia
years of age they had become separated
the eldest, Mary, nicknamed Peggy,
leaving the old homestead on a schooner
for Baltimore to visit friends in that
city. The captain. being a friend of the
family. the parents felt that she woul
be safe, n he would see that she
found her friends. Steamboats, had COM
menced to ply on the bay trade. u sell
dom were seen in a section in those
days: and as railroads on the eastern
shore were never thought of, conse-
quently the route to Baltimore by sail
was the popular one. During Miss Peg
gy's voyage a terrific storm arose and a
night of horror was the experience she
never forgot, for with wind, rain n
lightning around and about the bark.
the escape from wreck was a miracle.
During the night the passengers prayed
for deliverance and solemnly that
IL their lives were spared and they were
safely landed they would never
again attempt to cross the Chesapeake
bay.
The vessel weathered the storm. and
when the captain placed Miss Peggy
with her friends In Baltimore she re-
peated the vow never to cross the bay
again. and sent a message to her family
that she would never trust herself on
the water again. Unless. therefore. she
could take the long route by stages
around the head of the bay and the long
trip down the peninsula there was little
prospect that she would ever see her
home. Though corresponding occasion
ally with her sister. in a few years she
claimed Baltimore az her home, and her
experience in the storm on the bay led
her to become a membe of one of the
Baltimore churches. Here she met with
a young mechanic. and. being satisfied
that, like her. he had an aversion to

poses. she accepted and married him.

Professor Ingram of Trinity college

other song M never needed another
to fix his name in Irish memory. Here
IL is:
Who fears to speak of ninety-eight?
Who bushes at thy name?
When towards mock a patriots fate,
Who hangs his head for shame?
He's all a knave
Or half a slave
Who sights his COUNTRY thus.
But true men
Like you men
Will fill the glass with us.
Well drink the of the brave.
The faithful and the few.
Some lie far off beyond the wave;
Some sleep In Ireland. too.
All, all are gone.
But still lives on
The fame Of those who died.
And r men
Like you men
Remember them with pride.
Some on the shores Of distant lands
Their weary hearts have laid.
And by the strangers needless hands
Their lonely graves are made.
But. though their clay
Lies far away
Beyond the Atlantic's foam,
In true men
Like you men
Their memory's still at home.
The dust of some Is Irish earth.
Among their own they rest,
And that same land that gave them
birth
Has caught them to her breast,
And we will pray
That from their clay
A noble race will start
or true men

To act as brave a part.
They rose in dark and evil days
To right their native land.
They kindled here a living blaze
That nothing can withstand.
Alas. that might

They fell n passed away,
But true men

Ninety Eight Centennial association.
The first of the visitors will leave New

Irish are going back to Ireland. Who
fears to speak of $50 is the mastering

the Emerald Isle in July. Thousands

brate the year that was at once the
brightest and the darkest in Ireland's
history and to revive memories of the
men who made that year historic.
The movement is worldwide. All over

Canada and even in PARKWAY Australia

are singing the old song. They have
been singing IL here and there at odd
times for almost half a century, but
