One effect Of the war with Spain will
be that the pilgrimage to Ireland. next
July, to celebrates the Tooth anniversary
of the Rising" of'179s will be postponed
The 90 Centennial Association of Amer
lea, under whose ansp Ices the pilgrimage
was to have been given, has decided 20
defer the excursion indefinitely, says the
Irish American. Mr.. Edward
O'Llaherty. president Of the as
ISOLATION, states that it would
he indicate. to say the least, for Irish
Americans to leave The country in such
a crisis, even if their services were not
required to defend the Stars and Stripes.
The steamship Berlin. of the American
line had been chartered by the associa-
ton as the flagship of the excursion; but
it will now be given up. Even If the war
should be ended before July 2. the date
set apart for sailing. 1t will make no
difference as far as the organized pilgrim

American commerce alreuly. 1t has
caused the closing Of New York harbor,
from sunset to sunrise, ma will soon do
the same for all the other harbors IN the
coast. In these days of high business
pressure, when work goes on along the
wharves as we'll by nigilt rs by day, such
q restriction amounts 10 considerable
check upon commerce, especially in such
a crowded port as New York. and will
add no small sum to the damage inflicted
by the stoppage Of commerce carried in
American vessels. Thus, without any
direct injury, the indirect loss by reason
of the war Is likely to be enormous.

A STAR PERFORMER.

Margaret l.. Sheperd, nee Sister Mag
daene Adelaide, consecrate penitent of

this city during the past week. Mar

as an escaped num-" is one of the
most successful Of her class now on the
road, financially speaking. This is un-
doubleday due in large measure to her
manager, who evidently existed long be-
! fore Barnum passed away and learned
some of the traits Of the great showman's
character That the American people
like to be humbugged has been evidenced
in a small way in the appearance of this
last escape, who was never a sister or

unenviable reputation on both sides Of

their ends villification and falsehood of a
most deliberate nature is given the widest
range by these traducers of the pure and

Margaret L. Shepherd, with her unsav-
DRY record, should HE herself away from
the public gaze. The Irish Standard will
speak of her as she is, briefly at this
time, in the future more at length.

age.
Minneapolis is pretty large town and
there is an element here ever ready to
encourage and applaud such adven-
turesses as Margaret Shepherd, no matter
how corrupt or immoral they may be.
Without standing, in this or any other
civilized community, the only thing they
are noted for is their activity in pro-
noting dscord. Low in their tastes and
morals they are best known in police
court annals.
The rental of Century hall to such
woman and for such purpose will be
looked upon as wanton insult to the
Catholics of this city, a fact which the
management may have opportunity to
regret

The war IS affecting different portions
of the Union in different ways. In the
West it is raising prices of many staple
articles, while in the East 1t is having
the opposite effect on various lines of
trade
1t was in this condition that the New
York buyer for S. e. Olson Co., 1.-THE Big
Store" merchants Of Minneapolis, found
many wholesalers and manufacturers.
| The war scare seems to have taken all
the pluck out Of them, and they are more
ing that If the war should be prolonged,
their stocks might "go up in smoke" We
who live in the West cannot, Of course,
fully realize the dangers which seem to
overhang our Eastern cousins, but their
extremity proves to be our opportunity.
S. E. Olson Co.'s buyer has flooded the
Big Store with tremendous quantity Of
fresh purchases from the above source,
pecially in Wash Dress Fabrics, Hosiery,
Underwear, Carpets, Millinery and jack
cts. The Eastern manufacturers Of these
lines of goods are temporarily democrat
lied, and the patrons of the Twin Cities
favorite emporium will he greatly bene-
fitted. For particulars see the advertise
ment of S. E. Olson Co. in the daily pa
pers, and then visit the Big Store, or
write to them for their catalogue.
They have just issued q large and very
comprehensive catalogue Of all lines Of
goods, and will send it free to anyone
who sends ~ cents to pay the postage or

for out-of-town customers only.
The mail order department of s. E.
Olson Co. is wonderful help to tho
people living in the smaller towns or ir
the country, the amount Of money saved
in buying through this source ia in the
aggregate very large, and such worthy
institutions ought to be encouraged in
every way possible. The way you can
encourage them is by sending your orders

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
VAST Difference In tho Number OF Nor
Required to Handle Them.

A Vast Difference In tho Number OF Mon
Required to Handle Them.
The number Of men required to man
naval guns of the British, French Ger.
man and American navies is about the
same, although the French are under
stood to have more men as rule for
some of the larger guns
For tho 4 inch and inch all services
require four men to work each piece
for the inch, six men are needed, and
for \ the 10, 10 and 10 inch the same
number.
AS nearly all our s. 10, 10 and IS
inch guns are used in pairs and mount
ed in turrets the 10 men working them
are protected by heavy plates of steel
For the little Founders three men are
necessary to work them rapidly, and
for the 3 Founders and Founders four
men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss
three men.
Treble the number of men seem to be
required to work the same caliber of
guns in our coast defense system, al
though there is no special reason for
this, unless 1t be due to tho fact that
the army guns are mounted on disap-
pearing carriages and are not provided
with turrets, which naturally limits the
space of the operators. An army inch
gun takes 15 men to work it; 10 inch
gun requires IS men. and l2 inch
gun. the largest now constructed by the
army, calls for 81 men.
1t will be seen, therefore, that IS
inch naval gun is operated by six men,
while an army GIN Of one inch less cali
Der calls for 81 men. The navy gun can
be fired just as rapidly with it's six men
as the army gun can be fired with it's
larger number. Herald

Light and ARTIFICIAL Fog.

The production of cloud by the action
of ultra violet light was demonstrated
at soiree at the Royal society by G. 7.
R. Wilson. The beam from an arc lamp
was focused by quartz lens in tube
containing moist air free from dust In
few minutes blue fog was seen to
form in the illuminated cone, and this
fog could be made to move by applying
heat to the tube locally. When the Ill
ira violet rays were cut off by sheet of
mica, no such formation took place, and
it is therefore suggested that the small
particles which give rise to tine blue of
the sky are produced by the ultra violet
rays of sunlight absorbed in the upper
layers of the atmosphere. Engineering

A funny scene occurred many years
ago in congress. A present of Arabian
horses. sword, etc., arrived from the
imam of Maskat for President Adams.
A western member with some heat
moved that the gift should be sent
back, with letter from congress, in
forming the ruler of Maskat that the
president of the United States was no
king, but the servant Of the people, and
was not permitted to give or receive
presents.
Another member rose. "Such let.
