YOUR DUTY.

Every Irish-American in the Fifth
Congressional district will support
Turner for Congress if he under
stands the facts of the political sit
uation. If elected he will represent
the people. His opponent, Mr..
Evans, represents everything that
is vicious in the religious intoler-
arce manifested by the illiberal and
ignorant secret society to which he
belongs. Mr.. Turner, on the other
hand, is bound to no set of men,
and will be bound to none; but all
men, whatever their nationality or
religious predictions, will receive
equal consideration at his hands. 1t
may be depended upon that Mr..
Turner will never stop to inquire
whether his fellow-citizen asking
his services or assistance is Catholic
or Protestant. His love of liberty
and justice is too deep to permit of
such a query rising in his mind.
The fair and broad-minded people
of the Fifth district will send him
to represent them in Congress if
they only do their duty on election

THE DEVILS WORK.

In the province of Connaught, il
ireland, there are $4,000 familie:
whose normal condition is poverty
bordering on famine. Talking oil
those families, William O'Brien said
the other day: "There are fully
SO, 900 tenants i'll the province
whose holdings would have to be
doubled and trebled in size before
they could hope to earn a decent
subsistence in the land of their
fathers. Every four or FIVE years
the potatoes fail, and these $4,000
peasant families are depending for
bread on the humiliating and de-
grading charity of the stranger.
This poverty is not Gods work. 1t
is the DEVILS work. There are still
living, 1 dare say, in this very
crowd persons who can remember
when the plains of Boyle were peo-
pied by great and industrious ten
antry, who were afterward BAN
ished to the Curlew Mountains.
x = x There never was a more
gross or a more impudent lie than
that this province of Connaught is
so naturally barren that the people
must starve. Why, in the County
Roscommon alone there is grazing
land enough to give farms of a rea-
sonable size to every family on the
relief list of the Dublin Mansion
House Committee.

PANDORA'S BOX.

Little do the politicians and lingo
papers dream of the evils their pres
ent advocacy of land grabbing will
bring on the people of the country.
All of the well-wishers of this coun-
try among the statesmen and think
ers of other nations foretell what
will be the inevitable result. An
increased navy, a large standing
army and huge pension list will
Cypress the people. A spirit of
militarism will be rampant and our
Government will be republic in
name only. The first great step to-
ward the destruction of our liber-
ties, if it is ever accomplished, will
be the proposed Anglo American
alliance. There seems to be an or
ganized conspiracy among certain
newspapers of this country to do
everything to foster the proposed
alliance. They do not stop at the
grossest Misrepresentation. But one
by one the lies that have been in
vented to deceive the American peo-
pie are exposed. Hoshi, the late
Japanese Minister, in an interview
last week ridiculed the idea of an
Anglo American alliance, and said
that Japan would oppose it in every
possible manner. He furthermore
said that Japan would not stand
idly by and see the Philippine arch
ipelago pass into the hands of
either Great Britain or the United
States.
Count Cassini, the Russian Min
lister at Washington, said that such
an alliance would bring untold evils
on the United States, and it would
be a gratuitous insult to the rest of
Europe.
Every true American citizen in
voting for Congressmen this fall
should see that the candidate to
whom he gives his suffrage is not
tinctured with the virus of Anglo
mania.

CHLOROFORM
Causes the Death of Officer
O'Leary-Was a Popular
Patrolman.

The family of Patrolman Mike O'I.eary
were terribly shocked Wednesday even
ing when apprised of his death at St.
Joseph's Infrmary, he having left home
about IL O'Clock that morning in the
best of health and spirits. The shock
was not lessened when it was learned
that Mr.. O'Leary had died on the oper-
ating table, and before he had been
touched with knife. Chloroform had
proved fatal to him when the anaesthetic
was applied preparatory to the perform
ance of a minor operation. Death by
chloroform narcosis is the technical term
for the cause of death.
Patrolman O'Leary for over two years
had been suffering from a sore on the
little toe of his left foot 1t first appeared
to be corn, and he treated it with corn
salves and plasters, but these effected
no cure, and the sore became worse, be-
coming an open, raw spot. OF late it had
troubled him so much that he decided to
secure medical treatment His physicians
advised him that he was suffering from
cancer and its removal with the knife
was necessary. To this O'Learyconsented,
hoping to gain relief in this manner.
On Tuesday evening O'Leary was to
have gone to the infrmary for the pur-
pose of having the operation performed,
but was told to come Wednesday. This
appointment he filled.
The physicians believed that he could
easily survive the effects of chloroform,
which was administered by one who is
regarded as an expert. O'Leary was,
however, not of a nature to bear the
anaesthetic and became violently i'll.
The surgeons then gave up administering
chloroform and worked to revive him.
After an hour and a half or longer the
patient died. The operation had not
even been begun before it was found that
O'Leary was too sensitive to the
anaesthetic.
The dead officer lived on Columbia
street, between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth, and leaves wife, grown daugh-
ter sad small son. He was forty three
years of age and had been on the police
force about four years, having been al
ways stationed in the Fourth district.
His beat was in the neighborhood of his
home. He had the reputation of being
for at least the last nine years strictly
temperate, and was a man of superb
physique.

pioneering trick at the expense of
Ireland, because Ireland will not
support a Unionist policy. Prof.
Dicey and his friends have no hope
of converting Ireland to their views,
for, as Mr.. Fletcher accurately di.
agnoses the situation, it is the con-
viction that Ireland will remain
faithful to the cause her people
have never deserted that underlies
the Unionist proposals. If Mr..
Chamberlain brings forward redis-
tribution, he will find the Radicals
anxious for registration reform of
the most sweeping kinda reform
that would tell against the Union
lists, particularly in the large towns
where the working classes are hand
icapped by antiquated machinery of
registration.

REDISTRIBUTION.

Redistribution may fairly be said
to be in the air. For the past week
the English newspapers have had
little or nothing else to write about
and the Unionist organs of the baser
sort howl with dervish-like delight
over the prospect of the Irish repre-
sentation being Topped off, says the
editor of the Syracuse Catholic Sun.
The Unionists are afraid of the
present constituencies. In 1895,
when they were returned to power
by a series of accidents and by the
very narrowest of majorities in
scores of constituencies, their
pledges and promises fell as thick
as snowfakes from the hastings.
Three years have passed and muir
murs of disappointment are heard
throughout England at the failure
of Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Cham
berlain TO perform the promises of
reform that were made in 1896.
This Government, with the largest
majority of modern times, has
proved itself one of the weakest
that ever sought to govern Eng
land. The next general appeal to
: the constituencies can not be far
off. Lord Salisbury knows that
the day of reckoning is at hand
when the electors will demand an
account of his stewardship, and will
find that he set his face against re-
form at home and frittered away
British prestige to foreign powers.
Afraid as they are of the present
constituencies, the constituencies
must be manipulated, and accord
ingly the cry of Justice to Eng
land" is raised, but, as Mr.. Fletcher
points out in the New Age, it is not
justice for England that is wanted,
but protection for the Unionist ma
jority. If Ireland sent a majority
of Unionists instead of Nationalist
to Westminster we should hear
nothing of this cry. Redistribution
on this line would be mere cleo

THE THIEF CAME BACK.

Last week an Irishman came to Father
Hill, telling him that his best COW had
been stolen.
"Well, Tom," said the priest, ''the
only thing that you can do is to pray that
the thief will come back"
Gan right, Father, III do it," said
Tom, as he walked away.
Last night Father Hill met Tom again.
well, Tom, did you do as told your"

"Yis, your reverence, but I'll not pray
again"
mot pray again. Why not1 Was not
your prayer heardl"
That's just why quit. The thief
came back and stole me other COW. l
won't pray again for him to come back.
You can bet your sweet life on that, " and
he walked away, whistling ''St. Patrick's
day."

THEATERS.

Miner and Vans Bohemian Burles-
quers, introducing Billy Van and Vavie
Nobriga in their new farce, "a Scrambled
Egg" preceded by strong olio, will be
the attraction at the Buckingham all
next week. Both are known as pleasing
entertainers, and their support comprises
dozen names high up in the ranks of
vaudeville, besides full score of young
and beautiful girls. The principal names
on the bill after Van and Nobnga and
the Komedy Rooms are Evans and
Vidocq, Saxon and Brooks, Fisher and
Jansen, Myrtle Tressider. and Tommy
Burnett. Vivie Nobriga's new songs, 81
Wonder What is That Coon's Came"
and "No Coon Can Come Too Black for
Me, and Billy Vans rendering of "Since
Rebecca Ran Away With Coon" are
always received with shouts of laughter
and applause.
A number of novelties are introduced,
including grand cake walk, quintette
of Coster girls, "bunch" of sporty
widows and grand patriotic finale which
introduces Columbia, followed by repre-
sensations of the nations of Europe, also
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines, escorted by column of United

During the coming week the patrons of
Manager Shaw's popular theater will
have an opportunity of seeing in real life
what "Hogans Alley" was in its palmy
days; also Mickey Dugan, the mischiev-
GUS Yellow Kid, and all the characters
that were made famous in the series of
the "Hogan's Alley" sketches. Not
being content with good thing, Messrs.
Gilmore & Leonard, long known as the
wits of Irish comedy, have this season
added to it a third edition, which has
been pronounced the acme of farce COM
edy. To those who know the history of
"Hogan's Alley" it is useless to dwell on
the subject, but to those who do not it
would be we'll to state that it is farce
comedy pure and simple, yet possessing
enough plot to make continuous inter-
esting story. The characters of Hogan
and Brogan are interpreted by those
soothing Irish comedians, Gilmore and
Leonard. The engagement is for one
week at the Avenue Theater.
For next week the attraction to be pre-
sented by the Meffert Stock Company at
the Temple Theater will be "The Great
Diamond Robbery" play which had
a run of eighteen months in New York
City, and has never been seen here. 1t is
a melo-drama in six acts, with the scenes
laid in New York City. The story deals
with young bank clerk who is short in
his accounts through the villainy of a
third party, and in attempting to clear
him detective accidentally sturnbles on
a clew to the famous diamond robbery
that has puzzled the police of two conti-
nents, and manages to run to earth the
criminal, in the person of a lovely society
woman whom no one ever suspected. An
evening spent at this popular theater will
not be regretted, as Col. Meffert and his
excellent company merit the support of
the entire theater-going public.
