What Brought 1t About.

A lake steamer that cost $21O, GOO to
build last year cannot be duplicated
now for less than 100000. But there
is no trust in the shipyards of the
Great Lakes. The difference in cost is
due to the scarcity of materials and
the general advance in wages. The
rate ger ton for freight has about
doubled since the beginning of the
season and vessel owners are prosper

any figure, but Republican prosper

Every wool grower OF the country
should ask his congressman or sena-
tor whether the customs authorities
throughout the country are collecting
the duty on wool as intended by the
Dingley tariff" This is the statement
of a reliable authority in close touch
with domestic wool interests. What

PATRIOTISM.
Chaplain Daily Sees in Roose-
welt Its Highest Type In
War and Peace.

The Rev. Father William ]. B. DAILY,
chaplain of the Sixty-ninth regiment,
lectured on american Patriotism" in
Carnegie Hall in aid of the Catholic
Boys Association. Archbishop Corrigan
introduced the speaker, who said in part:
american patriotism is something of
which we may we'll be proud 1t has
caused every great nation of the earth to
turn an inquiring eye on us. When we
know that Old Glory calls to us for help
we are one people and put aside all Sec
tional differences. This time year ago
the American eagle was screeching its
loudest and telling of war. We are not
pugnacious people, and considered the
matter calmly and debated it coolly. But,
mark you, our calmness is much more to
be dreaded than an older nations fiery
outburst.
patriotism is the highest and broadcast
kind of love; it represents in all its beauty
and power the love of family and self and
friends and home; it is founded in justice
and right. A patriot is one who cuts
home ties for the sake of country and
takes the wronged and downtrodden as
his children. The highest type of patriot
is such as that man who fought at San
tiago and ter the war devoted himself
just as strongly to the arts of peace.
refer to Gov. Roosevelt. He not only
aids the country materially, but he be-
queaths to posterity a noble heritage in
the form of a beautiful character for
American youth to emulate.
"Our country, though young, is in bat
tie a giant. We now take our place in
the front rank of the nations of the earth,
in consequence of the patriotic uprising
of the people to enforce the principles of
justice in Cuba. When our regiment left
for the war it was forced on my mind
that patriotism is inspiring and ennob-
ling. There is but one feeling that goes
beyond the love of self, home and family,
and that is duty. Duty leads the soldier
to war In camp, amid all the sufferings
from fever and other ills, 1 never
heard a man say 4 am sorry sacrificed
so much and came to fight for my coun-
try.
"There is another kind of patriotism
that has no army or navy--the patriotism
of peace Some of us went into battle
that we might have peace, 1t is pleas
ure to feel that we live in this great land,
the home of the brave and the free ;"

ter, Mrs. Noble Clark, 2306 West Chest

all patriotic Irish-Americans in Louis
vile. He was also noted for his liberal
ity, always contributing to every worthy
cause.
Mr.. Shea had been i'll since last sum-
mer, but the immediate cause of his

injuries from the effects of which he
never recovered. Mr.. Shea left wife
and two children. Mrs. Noble Clark and

cession was headed by Werhle's band and
mounted police and passed along the
principal thoroughfares in the central
portion of the city, and was enthusiastic

along the line. The. department formed
splendid-looking body of men. and the
fact was clearly demonstrated that under

President James McGiii, who had been
sent to Washington to answer the charges
and protest of those who recently with
drew from the central body and applied
for the American Federation of Labor
charter now held i'll this city, and trans
act such other business as remained over
from the preceding Sunday.
Walter NJ. Young presented the report
of the Committee on Revision of the Con-
stitution, which embraced a number of
changes, three new committees being
added. The most important of these
will be the Label Committee, which will
look after the interests of all recognized
trades union labels and trademarks,
whether the unions be affiliated with the
central body or not. This committee
will also endeavor to have all convict
made goods stamped as such. The other
two committees are on credentials and
printing.
The delegates added an amendment to
the constitution providing that in future
no person holding political or elective
Office will be eligible as a delegate, but
this provision will not apply to men
working at the different trades. This is
an advance step and eliminates what has
heretofore been the cause of considerable
discussion and feeling.
Another amendment to the laws pro-
vides that local labor bodies without
national heads must apply to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor for charter
before delegates from such will be adj
mitted. The other changes were unim-
portant.
President McGill reported the results
of his mission to Washington as very
satisfactory, having received assurances
from members of the Executive Council
that possession of the Federation charter
will remain undisturbed, as the protests
filed contained nothing to justify action
against the Central Labor Union. He
also reported that upon the return of
President Gompers to Washington active
steps would be taken by the Federation
Council to again unite the unions that
withdrew from the entral Labor Union,
and the prospects are brighter than ever
that unity and harmony will again pre-
vail among the workers Of this city.
A communication from the Central
Labor Union of Washington calling for
the removal of Claude Johnson from the
position of Director of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing was received,
and letters were ordered forwarded to
President Mckinley requesting him to
comply with the demand of the Washing
ton body. Johnson<is charged with being
disrespectful, intolerant and oppressive
to those under him, particularly the
lady employees, and when reconstructed
with for his treatment of them replied by
assuring them that he could fill the Gov
eminent Office with women from Ken
lucky for stipend of SO per week. 1t is
claimed his conduct deserves the censure
of dismissal. Letters calling for his re-
moval will be forwarded to the President
by local unions generally.

Department expects to launch the tor

1t was also decided to cooperate with
other societies in recognizing December
IA next as a Washington memorial day
throughout the country.
John ID. Crimmins donated $500 to the
library fund of the association, and after
electing forty new members the council
adjourned.
At the banquet the principal speaker
was President Gargan, who gave utter
aice to many noble sentiments and spoke
as follows:
Fellow members Of the American-Irish
Historical Society: We meet today on
the anniversary of the battle of Lexing-
ton and Concord to attest anew our pat
riotisni, our love, devotion and allegiance
to the Republic of tine United States of
America; to recall the lessons taught us
by the yoemanry of those two little Mas
sachusetts towns, unknown in history on
April IS, 1875, yet before the setting of
the sun OH the 10Th had won for them
selves renown as imperishable as that
won at Marathon or Thermopylea. One
hundred and twenty-four years ago in the
neighboring State of Massachusetts the
first battle was fought to establish the
principle that there should be no taxation
without representation, and that all gov
eminent should rest on the consent of the
governed. l will not trespass upon your
time by recalling the events which led up
to the American revolution nor those
seven years of bloody and terrible war.
We established government and framed
a constitution founded on universal suf-
frage, giving vote to the good and the
vicious, the wise and the ignorant. Thus
far we have been a prosperous people,
because in our democracy there have
been no inequalities OF wealth and con-
dition that we believed would be perma-
nent.
We are composite nation, comprising
people from all the countries of Europe,
with about one-seventh of them of Eng
lish origin; yet when we hear the foolish
speeches and read the foolish articles of
the minority in reference to Anglo-Saxon-
ism, and blood being thicker than water,
we realize the importance and necessity
of the work inaugurated by the American
Irish Historical Society in recalling and
recording the deeds of Irishmen and their
descendants in America. We find on the
rolls of the minutemen of Lexington
over $50 Irish names, and Col. James
Barrett, of Concord, and DIR. Thomas
Welsh, who were prominent in the days
battle, were of Irish descent. We find
also the name of Hugh Cargill, who, to-

This is the line over which the English

as bright and nervy an English railway
man as I have met anywhere knew moth

While he and his few English associates
actually conducted the line, the receipts
were literally bagged by the Chinese APP

"As things stand the English can have
no hold whatever if the payments are reg

easily the Russians will get the line If they

but the humble bee is referred to as fol-

lodge their honey in the earth, to secure
it from the ravages of the bears, who are
remarkably fond of it,"
According TO a writer in the American
Bee Journal for July 1866, the honey bee
was first noticed by white men in Ken

west of the Mississippi in 1887. AT the
