BANKS VlCTIMIZE0.
Colossal Frauds Through Collision of
Government Clerks.

Government Clerks.
Washington, March 22.-lnformation
has reached the government through a
number of banks at st. Paul, that dur
ing the past year and more they and
other nearby banks have been made
the victims of colossal frauds through
suspected collision of government clerks
connected with the commission having
in charge improvements on the upper
Mississippi river. Full details have not
reached the government, but statements
submitted by the banks Indicate that
100000 or more have been procured from
them through fraudulent time checks for
services never performed. How the banks
came to be imposed upon to the extent
stated and why the checks have been
withheld until this time cannot be even
conjectured. 1t is understood the banks
make "A claim for reimbursement. but
the law is said to be clearly against this
contention. The government will begin
a searching investigation into the whole
matter.

spot where over twenty years ago stood a
statue of one of England's dissolute
Kings. It was put up in the days when
the classes ruled in this country and was
removed one night by some hardy sons
of toll and found a resting place in the
Lee-dtting indgnity to a blatant piece
of impertinence that had been tolerated
too long. The monument now to take
its place will endure and remind those
who come after us of the heritage they
have received from the past, of a work
still uncompleted; of a mission that has
passed into other hands. Demonstrations
like that of Sunday cheer aud encourage;
they show that there is still much vitality
in the national life of the country, and
though many men have gone wrong they
will return to the fold and, repentant,
will be forgiven and welcomed. The bed
rock is all right, and only on the upper
strata have there been any irregularities
or impurities discovered.

OUR LATE WAR.
The Agency for the Most Com
pIete History Awarded
to M. w. Murphy.

Mr.. NJ. w. Murphy, of 2407 West
Broadway, and a well-known member of
the Kentucky Irish-American Society,
has accepted the agency for the latest
and most complete illustrated history of
"Our War with SPAIN" by Hon. II. B.
Russell, Senator Proctor and Senator
Thurston. The Observation-Disclosures,
richly-flled and scholarly volume gives a
complete and authentic history of the
Spanish-American war from its begin
ming to its close. Its authors are three
widely-known men, Hon. Henry B. Rus
sell, Hon. Redfeld Proctor and Hon.
John M. Thurston. Their entire familiar
ity with the political history of the coun-
try, their fund of statistical information,
their independence and fearlessness, all
guarantee that this work is one of more
than ordinary value. 1t presents deep
er, broader, more exhaustive exhibit of
the long train of causes which culminat-
ed i'll the conflict than can be found in
any other work. 1t is the most ample,
brilliant and readable book that the war
has called forth. 1t is not only rich in
historical information, but as instructive
in its method of presentation as it is fas-
cinating in narrative.
The magnificent illustrations include
series of seven superb steel-plate portraits
of President Mckinley, Generals Miles,
Shafter and Merritt and Admirals Dewey,
Sampson and Schley. 1t also contains
colored and elaborate maps, showing in
great detail Cuba, the Philippines, Porto
Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, etc. There
are besides large number of maps and
diagrams inserted in the text to illustrate
battles, campaigns, naval operations, etc.
There are also thirty-two magnificent
full-page illustrations.
Mr.. Murphy is a most reliable gentle
man, and we commend him to those who
wish to make valuable addition to their
home Libraries. The work is only sold
by subscription and the terms are very
reasonable

IRISH DRAMA.
The Public Will Be Given &
Rare Treat by Divisions
Nos. q and 8.

At special meeting of Young Mems
Division, No 6, A. o. H., last Sunday,
the proposition to present an Irish drama
to the public before the holidays was
unanimously adopted, permission having
been previously obtained from the Coun-
ty Board.
After perfecting the necessary prelimi-
naries, it was decided by those present to
give the entertainment under the joint
auspices of Divisions and 4, thus assur-
ing the success of the undertaking. These
divisions possess much of the best anna
teur talent to be found in the city, and
with the support of the large member
ship of the two divisions this years play
will no doubt surpass all previous efforts
in this line.
President John ]. Lannon appointed
Messrs. Frank G. Cunningham, Dennis ].
Kennedy and John E. Yenner as conf
mittee to represent the Young Mems Di-
vision, and President Hennessy will APP
point like committee from Division A.
With such workers in charge as
Messers. Cunningham, Mackey, Holley,
Tierney, Daniels and others from Divis-
ion and like number from Division 4
the seats should all be sold before the
evening of the performance.
As soon as the play to be presented has
been decided upon it will be announced
in these columns. Already some of the
best professional talent in this city have
volunteered their assistance, which will
be taken advantage of, and some of our
handsomest young ladies will be seen on
the stage upon that occasion.

FROM CORK.
Memorial to Ireland's Heroes
Erected in a Most His
torical Spot.

The demonstration in the city of Cork
when the foundation stone was laid of a
monument to the heroes of four import
ant periods in Irish history '9S, 1903, AS
and '67), was one of the most remarkable
that ever passed through the streets of
Cork. For the first time in recent years,
so full of discords and bitterness, conflict
and surprises, we saw Nationalist who
differ widely on many points of doctrine
and policy united in paying just tribute
to the memory of the dead who died for
Ireland, says an Irish correspondent.
This unity was possible without a sacri-
fee of any of those principles for which
the different sections have been contend
ing in recent years. In this country there
can only be one opinion of the unselfsh-
ness and heroism of the revolutionaries
of the periods named, and though we
have come somewhat tardily to honor
their memory, it is being done in no mig
gard manner, but with earnestness, en-
thusiasm and pride.
In the great demonstration on Sunday
every Nationalist interest was fully repre-
scented. The corporation and public
boards, the trades, clubs and associations
all Joined in the impressive spectacle.
We order such demonstrations we'll in
Cork, and if there were any strangers
within our gates who, like Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, consider the Irish question
dead, their eyes must have been opened
as they realized that it is not dead nor
sleeping, but that it is living, potent
actuality, the problem of the hour, that
claims solution. The conviction was also
deeply borne to the mind that the num-
beers of our people are increasing who are
losing faith in constitutional agitation.
1t has long been tried and found wanting,
and at last men are coming to recognize
that the old methods are the true ones,
and that it is wisdom to be ready to strike
when the opportunity offers. A fig for
your parlor Nationalist, who travels with
in the law and deems it heresy to offend.
They are out of date and. must be put on
one side and their place taken by more
progressive and daring spirits.
This memorial will be erected on the
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1898-10-29
