SANTIAGO Must Take silver.

Washington, July 2s.-There is no
disposition in Washington to discuss
the refusal of Santiago merchants to
take our silver at face value as le-
gal question. In a practical way the
question will settle itself. Santiago
merchants will learn that American
silver dollars are taken as money,
maintained on gold standard, just
as the merchants of Mexico have
learned to trade about two of their
own silver dollars for one of ours. II
the Cuban shopkeepers do rot awake
to shat fact. Americans will ente.
competing business with them and
take the silver dollars at face value
Whether our legal tender laws ap-
ply to conquered territory like the
eastern end of Cuba presents an in
teresting question upon which many
conflicting opinions are informally
expressed.

cession, they were bound to protect
the professionals. They knew ex-
actly what to expect and never for
twenty years past has it been more
easy to spare an ample force from
other districts. The country is now,
thanks to its pacific condition, enorm-
ously over policed. Five hundred
extra men could have been easily, and
ought to have been drafted into the
city.
The one hundred and thirty-fifth
anniversary of the birth of Theobald
Wolfe Tone was celebrated in For
resters' Hall, Cookstown, recently,
under the auspices of the "Henry
Munroe" 'oS. Centenary Association,
Cookstown. The Chairman (Mr.
Mayne) introduced the lecturer, Mr..
John Richard, who being received
with great applause, said: ITO the
lovers of Ireland, to those who SYM
pathize with her sufferings and resent
her wrongs, there can be few things
more interesting than the history of
the struggles which sprang from devo-
ton to her cause, and which were
consecrated by the blood of her pa
triots. The efforts of the Irish race
to burst the letters that foreign foe,
through fraud, had imposed upon
them and to elevate their island from
bondage and degradation to place
amongst free nations fills page in the
worlds history which no lover of free
dom can read without emotion.

The 'oS Memorial Hall will be
opened August IS in Clones. Mr..
John o Leary will perform the cere-
mony. The leaders of different Ma
tional Parliamentary parties will be
invited to speak, as also the county
members, and it is suspected that the
clubs in the county and district will
turn out. Mr.. Tracey proposed
vote of thanks to all who contributed
to make the contingent from Clones
to Roslea on Decoration Day so large,
In particular to the Clones Band and
the Clinmaulin Band and contingent.
Mr.. Mcmahon mentioned that the
members of the club should individu-
ally give all the assistance in their
power to the Glinmaulin men in their
effort to establish flute band. Songs
and recitations having been rendered,
the meeting adjourned.
The Government has refused to
have an enquiry into the circumstances
of the Belfast riots. Now such an
inquiry seems necessary, says New
Ireland, because it is obvious that the

A VENERABLE FRESHMAN.
Patrick Haggins, Of Scranton, Pa.
Lived IIe Years.

Lived II6 Years.
Patrick Haggins, of Providence,
Scranton, who was probably the old
est man in Pennsylvania, died recent
ly at the advanced age Of no years.
The authenticity of the date of his
birth is attested by certificate of
baptism, which shows that he was
born in County Londonderry, Ireland,
on November /, 1881. He lived to
see the rise and fall of the Irish
nation, the assembly of the Parlia.
ment, the disbanding OF the Volun-
teers, the uprising for independence,
the landing of the French allies and
the death blow to Irish independence
by the act of union and the abolition
of the Irish Parliament.
He was in his seventeenth year in
1903 when the French allies landed
on Irish soil. He saw all the chiefs
of these historic times, Theobald
Wolfe Tone, the Brothers Shears,
Robert Emmett, Henry Grattan, Lord
Edward Fitzgerald, Archibald Ham
ilton Rowan, William Orr and others
of those days, as we'll as Father
Mathew and Daniel O'Connell, Of
later times. 1t was his delight to tell
the deeds of the brave men Of 'oS.
Mr.. Haggins grew blind as decades
rolled their SHOWS upon his aged head,
but his sight came back in latter days,
and up till last Christmas he could
again read ordinary print. His hand
kept its steady nerve till then, and
he could write almost without tremor.
He was an earnest Bible student,
and could readily quote large portions
of any book therein from Genesis to
the Apocalypse. He had many times
read the Scriptures through. He had
been smoker since boy, and until
two days before he died. He lived
temperate, abstemious life, retiring
early and rising early. He was never
sick until last Christmas, and never
needed doctors care until then.
Mr.. Higgins comes from family
noted for their longevity. His father
died at the age of III years, and his
mother at ro7. His sister, the young
est of his fathers family, died at the
age of IS.
Mr. H4saegilRs -Eeatled twice
His first wife he married while in
middle life. She died year later.
In respect to her memory he was
twenty-three years unmarried. Half
a century ago he was united to his
second wife, who survives him.
Seven children were born to them.
They are: Thomas Haggins, of Scran-
ton; John and James Haggins, of
Scotland; Patrick Haggins, of Salt
Lake City, Utah; Mrs. James Grimes,
Mrs. Michael McHale and Mrs. Jas.

ABOUT THE CURFEw BELL.
Ancient Custom Adopted by Many
American Towns.

There are, it is said, 900 towns in
this country in which the curfew bell
is now rung at night. The upholders
of the new regulations quote statistics
to prove that crime has decreased in
consequence, and that every day
fewer arrests have been made. The
object of the movement is to keep
children off the streets at night and
to get them, under penalty Of fine
in money, safely tucked away in bed
before danger of temptation can assail
them.
When statistics about crime and
its decrease are quoted the voice of
dissension for the time being is ST.
fenced, and it requires a certain
amount of hardihood afterward to so
much as attempt the first argument to
prove possible other side. But there
are those OF us who remember among
the sweetest sins of our youth the joys
Of running away on summer nights
when bedtime came = well out of
reach of the parental voice. There
was the beauty of the early moonlight
to tempt US, the fragrance of sweet
fields; there were the romps on newly
mown grass heaps, the hide-and-seek
behind the currant bushes and the
daring plunge off some boat drawn
up on the shore. No delights were
ever like them. We would barter
much that we possess today to have
them ours again. And there was no
penalty of So fine hanging over our
heads, only the frown on mothers
face and that we could kiss or laugh
away in moment. -Harper's Bazaar.
