upon by the incorporators, which
was $3,00O,OOO The stock has been
selling at premium of IS even be-
fore it has been listed on the stock
exchange in Philadelphia. The par
value is $40. The Philadelphia
Bulletin Of last evening 'sissue says
the Diamond State Iron Company
has earned dividends for the last ID
years, which is news to the people
Of this city. We believe the stock
Of the steel company will be good
investment, as the steel business is
now enjoying one of the bi ggest
booms in the history Of the business.
At meeting yesterday OF the stock
holders of the Diamond State Iron
Company, it was unanimously
agreed to lease the plant and entire
property of the old company to the
new steel company, known as the
Diamond State Steel Company.
Grounds have been purchased near
Lobdell Car Wheel Works for the
purpose of erecting steel plant
that will cost 5000, 200 and give EN-
ployment to several hundred new
men. The new plant will be the
means of attracting other plants

locate in our midst, thus awakening
the city from its slumber Of the past
six years.

IT Is SAID that the members OF the
Legislature who have been voted
their mileage fees, intend to bring
suit against the State Treasurer to
compel him to pay them the money
claimed by them in excess of the
$500 allowed for attendance by the
provisions of the new Constitution.
The State Treasurer will not pay
the mileage unless he is compelled
to do so BY the Courts. Asst is only
the members of the House voted to
pay themselves mileage, the Senate
members interpreted the $500 salary
as their only pay for attendance at
the session Of the Legislature.
A MEETING of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen
was held on Sunday afternoon at
Phillipsburg, n. J., to take action
on the proposed strike on the Della
ware, Lackawana and Western
Railroad. The fremen are utterly
opposed to the action OF the Broth
erhood and will not support them in
their proposed strike. The Broth
erhood is opposed to firemen being
promoted to engineers, and that is
the cause of all the trouble on this
line.

WILL FOLEY DEAD.

William Foley, one of the city's most
highly respected young Instantaneous,
died Thursday forenoon at his home at
Fifteenth and Grayson streets, and the
announcement caused deep sorrow all
over the city At the time of his death he
was a deputy under Constable Joe Flynn,
and for several years previous had been a
storekeeper-gauger i'll the internal reve-
nue. service. Mr.. Foley was a member
of Division /, A. o. H., the Irish-Ameri-
can Society and Kentucky Conclave of
Heptasophs. He was also one of the
most active workers identified with St.
Patrick's church. His funeral took place
this morning, and was one of the largest
seen at St. Patrick's for long time.

SPRING HINTS.


The season of the year is now at hand
when cold is most easily contracted and
is fraught with greatest danger. If eau
ton be not observed dire results may
follow.
With the first few days of warm weather
people are prone to remove their heavy
flannels. They become warm during the
afternoon and think summer is surely
here. They remove their hannels and as
certain as they do so cold results. The
effects of this cold are problematic.
Pneumonia is just as likely to follow it
at this season as at any other, and it is
much harder to handle. Pneumonia is
always harder to get under control when
the period of convalescence extends into
warm weather
1t is not safe to remove the winter fan
nels in this climate until after the middle
of April and it is really safer to postpone
it until the first of May. If the weather
be warm before that, aud it be expedient
to wear lighter clothing, make the re-
quired changes in the top clothing and
there will be scarcely any danger.

REAL IRISH FAIR.

New York will soon have an Irish fair,
novel and interesting in every feature.
The Donnybrook fair, to be held at Lenox
Lyceum, April 10 to %, will present the
characteristic costumes, the rollicking
music and dances, the sweet songs and
the frolic and fun of the country lads
and lassies of Old Erin. Direct importa-
tons will be made of Sod shamrocks,
moss and other requisites to give local
color and realism to this fair. The fun
of the country fairs will be presented as
amusement attractions, and these are
many and varied-greased pole climbing,
the pig chase, sharp shooting contests,
Irish pipers and iddlers, reel dancers
and singers are in the programme of the
weeks fun.

THE COLONIES TO THE KERNELS.

A man died in Kentucky the other day
whose only claim to notoriety was due to
the fact that he had been drunk for fifty
years. This fact brings forth the follow
ing:

Where fit the fairy figures
OF dark-eyed Southern maids;
Where the mocking birds are singing
Mid the flowers newly born,
Where the corn is full of Kernels
And the Colonies full of corn.

HACKETT'S PURCHASE.
Adds the Hayden DistiIlery to His
Famous Greenbrier Plant-NOt
In the Whisky Trust.

The purchase of the r. B. Hayden dis
tillery in Bullitt County by the Green
brier Distillery Company has been an
nounced officially. James l.. Hackett
is President of the Greenbrier Company
and G. MCGOWAN is Secretary and Treas
urer. The Hayden Distillery was owned
By A. b. Baldwin, of Bardstown. The
consideration amounted to over 800, 900.
With the distillery went about 5000 bar
rels of whisky. The Hayden plant has a
capacity of 200 bushels day, and is one
of the most valuable distilling properties
in the State, the old Grandad brand being
widely known.
Mr.. Hackett, President of the company,
said Wednesday: "Our firm is not fight
ing in the Kentucky whisky combine.
We are going to make plenty of fine
whisky, though, in order to supply our
trade, which has increased wonderfully
within the past few months. We sell to
the jobbers and have no intention of sell
ing directly to consumers, as was stated
in local paper some time ago. That was
ridiculous, and something we had never
even contemplated.
Mr.. Hackett says he is now negotiating
with several foreign firms for a part of
the output of the newly.acquired distil-
lery for several years to come.
The late William Collins was also asso-
ciated with the Greenbrier Company, and
under their joint management its output
attained reputation all over the United
States, which has been zealously main

An Irish priest who has lately returned
from South Africa, after seventeen years
missionary experience, relates how on
one occasion he was introduced to Presi-
dent Kruger. "Ah," said Dom Paul,
judging from the priests pronunciation
of Boer Dutch, "you are an English
man." Indeed am not; I'm an Irish

give me your hand" was the Presidents
hearty response, for we are brothers in

So says the Chinese classic for girls.
The sentence is quoted from their Book
of History, written more than two thou
sand years ago, but it is as applicable now
in China as it was then. Few people in
the world have more reason for coming
such a sentence than have the Chinese,
as their present Empress Dowager is uni
versally detested and her existence is
deplored. Eastern papers occasionally
give us insight into the wanton cruelty OF
this female Herod. Few countries have
more reason for dreading woman rule
than China. The iron hand of Gather
inc and the cruel heartless injustice OF
an Elizabeth and the wantonness OF
Cleopatra were mild and insignificant, at
least from our point of view, when COM
pared to this fendish Empress. Heads
have been knocked off at her within,
property confscated, limbs burdened
with manacles and shackles OF iron, and
persons have fled in terror to other coun-
tries merely to be able to save their lives,
SO l6ITlDlc - HSi luiSs ihS NSH' P"eiOh
of the present Empress Dowager is more
remarkable than that of any of her pre-
decessors, or as they have been called,
her prototypes, because living in more
civilized generation than they, and be-
cause of her own free will she stops all
progress to the Empire. In the second
place she has representatives OF all the
great nations of the world at her capital,
men appointed not to her government,
but to that of the Emperor whose govern
ment she has usurped. Again it is re-
markable because not one of the minis
tiers of these governments has offered to
withdraw or suggested the improperly
Of his remaining minister at the court OF
usurper. Again, she represents the
conservative party which is hostile to all
the interests of their own and all these
other governments, and yet no one dare
say nay to any of her projects or ideas.
She has the present Emperor in close
confinement, burned all the books which
he had bought including the Holy
Scriptures, books on every subject known
to science and philosophy, banished or
beheaded all his friends and favorites,
and placed herself on the throne of
China. What progress this unhappy
country can make with such tyrant at
the head of affairs one can easily imagine.
