The A. o. H., the A. o. H., God bless

Oh, may it grow from age to age in

And link the Gael in friendships chain

In evil days, when ireland sank i'm
nersed in penal gloom,
1t rose the messenger of hope from out
the nations tomb,
Stood strong as granite battlement
around the stricken Gael
And scourged full oft in breach and field
the bloodhounds of the Pale.
1t held a1oft the torch of faith and NOR

And guarded we'll the hunted priest
when Erin's creed was bann'd.
The magic tongue of bard and chief, the
golden Celtic lore,
It snatched from out oblivions grave to
live for evermore.
1t clasps the exile to its breast beneath
whatever sky,
Relieves the widow in distress and dries
the orphans eye.
The poor, the friendess and the sick re-
ceive its tender care,
And for its dead ascends to God its
daily fervent prayer.
Ere spoke the guns of Lexington across

The foeman heard on Bunker Hill and

On field and food, Columbia! wherever
Numbered Mars,
To glory, fame and victory it bore the

And in the future as the past twill battle

For justice, right and liberty for every

AS faithful guard the starry flag on its

As ever did its valiant sires the green on

And link the Gael in friendships chain

Through which the feelings roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred

A father sat, how proudly,
By that hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
OF his early. manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child t'would roam;
Thus mother counts her treasures
In the old, old home.

The blended vesper hymn

But sainted memories,

NEWS FROM IRELAND.
Sweet Belfast.

SWeet BeIaSt.
5 Sweet Belfast is the city for loyalty
Boosting Of order and breaking the
peace;-
There we are fond of honoring royalty;
Also OF stoning the Irish police
Loving the sort of religion and charity
Taught in the speeches of Hanna and
Kane;
And gaily engaging in scenes of barbar-
ity,
Strewing the highways with wounded
and slain.
Property's rights should be safe from
invasions;-
That is maxim of loyalty's school;
But, in Belfast, upon certain occasions,
81 No one should ask us to stand by the
sN rule.
For, when the lodges" feel warlike and
risky,
The wrecking of Catholics houses is
sweet,
And the robbing of lots of their porter
and whiskey,
To swill it or spill it abroad in the
street.
Life in Belfast has many advantages;
Sometimes no 'pavers" are whizzing
about
But, yet, a provision of plaster and
bandages
'Twould hardly be prudent to travel
without.
OF course, it's the home OF goodwill
and fraternity,
But, one thing is plain from the facts
of the past
That men should be always prepared for
Eternity
Especially those who must live in Bel
fast.

Aloft where bends Montana's sky
A monumental shaft OF stone
Shall one day bear name on high
In stately majesty alone.
But though to heav'n it lift that name
By Erin's faithful heart adored,
'Twere not so lofty as his fan,e-
The fame of Meagher of the sword.
When harp of gold ON field of green
Shone dimly through the shrouds o.
smoke,
When flash Of sabre lit the scene,
And lannon's crash the echoes woke
When thickly fell the leaden hail,
Where deadly storm of battle roared
Where cen the bravest heart might fail
Stood Meagher-Meagller OF the
sword.
When loyal sons of Erin met
To tell the mournful story DER,
OF that dear isle they meier forget,
To whose green wales Joy comes nc
more,
One ringing voice their pulses stirred,
Its magic tones sweet hope restored
Its music thrilled through every word
The voice of Meagher OF the sword.
No sounding epitapll we need,
No chiselled words OF classic phrase,
Wherein the passing world may read
OF virtues which transcend all praise
Love in our hearts hath graved that
name
Der which the light OF glory poured
Nor time nor change can dim his fame
The fame Of Meagher of the sword.

Alters Its Form,

New York, Nov. 4.r-A special to the
Times from Washington says One of
the most curious results of the annexa-
tion Of Porto Rico will be an alteration
in the shape Of tho island as it Is known
to the world. The coast survey is now at
work finding out what the real shape of
Porto Rico is and 1t has already learned
enough to show that the old Spanish
surveys are not only unreliable and
worthless. but that they give positively
false impression of the formation of the
coast.
Porto Rico has been Of an oblong
shape. 1t has looked as If the sea, dis
gusted with the queer shapes assumed
by the island. had determined to throw
about it's surface at least one island as
even in contour as a cigar box. Just to
show that it could be done. The coast
survey is beginning to find out that Porto
Rico has considerable irregularity At
the eastern end there is a long north
western slant into the ocean. This will
mako the island larger than had been
supposed. No one can tell what shape
Porto Rico will be when it is finally sur
veyed as an american possession. but 1t
seems certain that it will not be the in
sular freak it has appeared on the Span
ish surveys.

The said deed of conveyance was never

"A FIGURE OF IMPORTANCE.
German Emperor Is Mighty Man in
Diplomacy.

Diplomacy.
New York, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The Ger
man emperor's visit to England is the
chief topic of serious discussion and in
eenious conjectures. On the continent
he has suddenly doomed up as the COM
manding figure in European diplomacy,
who has thrown his influence on the
winning side at a moment when England
is making supreme military effort 1000
miles from Landsend. The commercial
classes of Germany are impressed with
the power and consequence of their en-
,peror to great affairs of the world and
acrid French criticism is forced to adj
nit that England and Germany have
been drawn into close understanding,
which does not differ essentially from a
formal alliance and forecasts momen-
tous change in the trend of European
diplomacy.
The stage business of this imperial
Journey is well worked, both at Wind
eor and Berlin. The queen is evidently
taking the liveliest interest in the recep-
tion of her grandson, and, after her
manner is recasting the details and as
siging parts to all the members of the
royal family. There will be a family re-

There are signs of q recurrence of ehe

British troops. The situation surely IS
steadily improving every day with the
arrival of the reinforcements at Cape

creasing evidence that the Dutch allies
have made a fatal tactical mistake in
scattering their comrades at too many
points, instead OF concentrating their
forces against Kimberley and Ladysnlith
or marching, like Sherman. to the sea
and sweeping down upon Durham. The
British campaign, however, has not vet
been won, and full fortnight remains
in which Kimberley may be captured
and Ladysmith exposed to a destructive

For several years past every en-

The contract between the B. & NJ. and

New York. Nov. IA special to the
Times from Washington says: The ef-
forts made by army chaplains who have
been ordered to the Philippines to have
their orders revoked have excited con.
siderable comment. The case OF Chap
lain J. 8. Siebold, now stationed at Fort
Candy, Wash, is case in point. When
the reverend officer discovered that he
had to go to the Philippines he found
that he was three years older than he
had supposed, having been born in 1885
instead Of 1898, as recorded on the files
Of the war department, and was there
fore old enough to retire. He produced
afffdavits which conclusively proved that
he had been mistaken in his age up to
that time. Accordingly orders were re-
voked and he was retired.

not proof to show there had been any
cattle lost or stolen or disappeared

longing to the Sweet estate, or that cat

There was no proof that the defend
ant or any other person had stolen or
slaughtered any cattle that did not be-

defendant with the pieces of hide said

sion of the alleged offense on Sept. 90,
1899 There was no proof that any cattle
bearing the half-circle-S brand were
