SOME IRISH WAR NOTES

Col. Frank ]. MCGEE, General
Commanding the Third Brigade,
National Guard Of Pennsylvania, in
place of Gen. Goblin, resigned, wa.
appointed Brigadier-General July 1
by Gov. Hastings. His home is in
Wrightsville, York county. During
the civil war he served as Lieutenant
and Captain in the Seventy-sixth
Pennsylvania Volunteers. He be-
Captain of Company I, Eighth Regi-
ment, in the National Guard, in 1872,
and Colonel in 1885.
Father John P. Chadwick, who was
chaplain of the Maine, and is now
chaplain on the cruiser Cincinnati,
was in New York last week on a visit
to his mother 1t became known that
Father Chadwick would say one of the
earlier masses in St. Stephens Friday
morning, and the church was crowd
ed. Father Chadwick was on leave
from his vessel, and returned Friday
to Newport News. Father Chadwick,
in talking of Key West, said that he
could not praise too much the Sisters
of the Holy Name Convent, whose
school had been turned into a hospital
for sick soldiers.
Col. Edward Duffy, of the Sixty
ninth New York, has particular un-
ruly private in his regiment. By way
of punishment he at different times
put him in the guard-house, set him
to digging bitches and had him in
heavy marching order for hours.
This had no apparent effect, and the
Colonel finally sent for the man.
"Look here, my man," said he, "if
you don't behave yourself Pll have
you sent home" Since then the former
unruly man has been the meekest
private in the regiment.

81, 900. Mr.. Bell got a judgment
against the order for SIS, 900 because
it refused longer to observe a contract
which he had gotten from five or six
of the incorporators at the very begin
ming of its existence by which his paper
was made the official organ fo,e0eri
An appeal from that judgment will be
taken to the Court of Appeals.
BY the order of the convention at
ST. Louis and the direction of the Jeff
ferson Circuit Court, Chancery Divis-
ion, in this city, $I4, 900 of the reserve
fund will be used to pay all outstand-
ing approved death claims; So, 900 will
be used to pay outstanding claims
against the general fund, and 81, 900
will be set aside to procure bonds
man in the Bell appeal and, if the
judgment should be affirmed, pay the
judgment with costs and interest.
This still leaves in the reserve fund
$Io, 900 or $I2, 900, and if that is paid
into the new emergency fund.-" as it
ought to be, the order can now go on
with very low assessment against
the members and with great success.
The troubles in Illinois and Mis-
souri, over the reserve fund and the
Bell suit and other matters having
been now gotten out of the way, there
is no reason why the order should not
continue the remarkable growth which
it has enjoyed during the last two
years.

source Of disappointment to thu
people who entered upon it in the
interest of freedom and not of slavery
Such policy as this is intended anc
is urged by its promoters for the pur
pose of building up in this country q
centralized power of wealth, with big
standing armies and navies to protect
this plutocratic control. When ouI
people complain, as the taxpayer will

In speech upon the annexation of
Hawaii, Senator Morrill,, of Vermont,
said; "The historic policy of the
Republic of the United States for the
hundred years just passed, based as it
has been upon the sound doctrine
promulgated by Washington in his
farewell address with words of peren-
NAL wisdom against foreign entang
ling alliances, has taken root in the
hearts of the American people, where
it is treasured up as their political
Bible and can not now be Knocked at
as merely an ancient tradition. Its
acceptance has made the nation great,
made it respected. If our fidelity to
the well-ripened craftsmanship of the
Father Of his Country shall be per-
petuated for the next hundred years
as in the past, the honor, prosperity
and power Of our Republic, it may
safely be predicted, will light and
lead all the nations"

Banagher selected the majestic noun

and on this platform, 1000 feet above

mile failthe. The terms of the ad-
dresses and the extent and enthusiasm
of that meeting proved there was still
manhood left in North Mayo to insist
that they would stand no more of
those famines in the West, which are
the curse of the country and the ever
lasting disgrace of English rule in Ire
land. If the Royal Commission sug-
eested by Mr.. Russell came to the
Nephin district they would find that
all Mr.. Gladstone's land legislation

AS Mr.. Cosgrove, of Granard,
County Longford, was putting his
premises in repair some time ago one
of his workmen found lot of skulls
piled Unfortunately together. On
further investigation a button was
found bearing the French coat of
arms, and the inscription, "Repub-
lique Franchise" The latter must
have undoubtedly belonged to a
French soldier, and the skulls are
probably the remains of some Inflated
patriots who met death while facing
the English steel. Although one
hundred years have elapsed since
these scenes have taken place, still
the memory of those departed heroes
are fresh in the minds of Irishmen.
