SENTENCED TO JAIL.
Aldermen Starr and Mckinney
Receive a Jail Sentence of
Six Months, a Fine of
$1OO and Costs.

At few minutes past 2 o'clock this
afternoon Judge Stevens in the district
court pronounced sentence upon Alder
man Ruben E. Starr, and A. s. McKin.
ney.
Messrs. Starr and Mckinney sat on
either side OF their counsel, S. N.
Wheeler, when called before the bar OF
the court. Mr.. Wheeler was asked by
the court whether he had anything to
say. and he simply recalled to the atten-
ton of the court the fact that the jury
had recommended mercy to the court
and then sat down.
Judge Stevens then called to the men
at the bar to stand up and, after deliver
ing himself Of quite set speech. in
which he made some remarkable state
meuts, he sentenced them each to a
term Of six months in the county Jail, to
pay fine OF 500 each and the costs Of
the suit.
There were not many people in the
court room at the time of this dramatic
incident but those who were there were
charged with different feelings.

The Columbine Ball.

The second ball given by the young
ladies of the Coumbine band occurred
last night at the Armory hall. The
night was fine and the hall was well
nlled. Prof Boyer's orchestra furnised
the music and never was it better.
The floor was in excellent condition a
feature which does more towards max
ing an event of that character success
than perhaps any other ono thing.
The young ladies are every one hus-
tiers and they canvassed the town pretty
thoroughly with tickets and the affair
was a financial as well as a social sue
cess.
A lemonade stand had been erected in
ono corner OF the hall and one of the
young ladies was kept constantly busy
dispensing the refreshing beverage to
the crowds which swarmed around the
stand during each intermission in the
dancing. The canopy was made of the
colors which have been chosen by the
members to represent the organization
those Of the Columbine- and
white.
Judging from the interest which the
public seems to have taken in the organ
ization and from the energy and enthus-
iasm displayed by the young ladies
upon all occasions it is safe to predict
that the life of the Columbine band will
be long one and its success unbounded.

Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1899-03-18

1t is stated that the grave of ST. Pat.
rick, which is in the cemetery of the
Cathedral church of Downpatrick, is
kept in a most uncared for condition.
1t is marked only by a loose oval stone
on which is an inscription: Here are
buried St. Patrick, St. Bridget and St.
Columbkille."
The Catholics of Downpatrick, and in
deed of all Ireland, have from time ia
time made a movement TO have a suit
able monument erected to the memory
of the three great saints whose names
are so dear to all Irish Catholics, but
as the Cathedral is in possession of the
Protestants, no SUCH monument would
be allowed in the cemetery. The pre-
tence is, of course, that it would be an
encouragement to susperstitious invoca-
ton of these saints of God if a grand
monument were erected to perpetuate
their memory. Hence, while there are
many beautiful tombstones in the Gene
terry to commemorate the wealthy dead
whose names are not even known in
history, the grave of Ireland's three
greatest saints is entirely neglected.

SHAMROCK'S HISTORY.
How the Faith of Patrick Was
Placed in the Irish
Heart.

When King Lerry, surrounded by his
lords, vassals and Druids, was celebrating
at Tara, the ancient capital of Ireland, it
happened to be on the eve OF Easter.
The time had come when all the fires
were to be extinguished, that, after
while, they might be relighted by the
sacred torch consecrated to the heather
gods. In the interval of hallowed dark
ness suddenly there appeared a brilliant
light at the top of the Slope of Chariots.
The sparks and flames rose from the mys-
terious camp of proclamation of the ancient
faith of Tara. Who had dared to pro-
fame the sacred darkness by unholy fres'
What bold blasphemer ventured to light
the torch until the flame had been brought
from the altar of the gods? The warriors
grasped their arms and rushed up the hill
to tear the infdel to pieces. They seized
him and dragged him down to the hall of
Judgment; but all the while he kept re-
citing prayers to the unknown God; and
when brought before the assembly of en-
ragged idolators, St. Patrick, who, for
seven years had been Milcho's herdsman
slave, stood forth, like the heroic Paul,
and answered for himself In his lone
some captivity st. Patrick had learned to
love the Irish people, and with the bur
den of salvation he had traversed the
great plains from the mouth of the Boyne
to the Slope of the Chariots. He stood
and preached TO them all night--from the
birth of the stars to the grand ascension
of the sun. He spoke as never man had
spoken in Tara. He told them the story
of the blessed Nazarene, OF the Blessed
Trinity-Father, Son and Holy Ghost
of Baptism, of the Eucharist, of ali the
sublime faith of the Church of Rome.
Towards daylight the people began to
believe and fell into debate one with an
other The arch-Druid, the king, and
two beautiful maidens were converted
and baptized The tumult increased; the
true fires of heaven were blazing in the
dark valley Of paganism, and St. Patrick
preached on until the day-dawn began to
reveal the course of the Blackwater, the
Boyne, and the hills of Cavan and the
heights of Slane. But the people could
not understand the strangeness Of the
Trinity-how three persons should con-
stitute one God-and with daylight their
hearts began to return to their idols.
Suddenly the apostle caught up a sprig
of shamrock, which had been holding up
;tc tr;v,Ia naiu,o a., tb. oJorat,o,. &c fi,c
one true God, and then holding it forth
he showed the people that three leaves
growing from single stock constitute
but one. Instantly the quick-witted
people understood the mystery; they
rushed upon the apostle and would have
carried him on their shoulders, and from
that hour the faith of Patrick was planted
in the Irish heart, and that faith since has
never fell.

GOLD IN IRELAND.
A Rich Vein Discovered Near
the meeting of the
Waters"

According to stories published with
slight variation OF fact in the Limerick
Belfast and Dublin papers, veritable
Klondike is about to be developed in
Ireland in the County Wicklow. Years
ago, before modern mining appliances
were in use, copper lead and silver were
proftably worked in wicklow; but
owing to the slump in the prices of those
metals, most of the workings were long
ago deserted. 1t seems that for the last
year or two peasants have made fairly
good discoveries of alluvial, but have
kept the matter a close secret, sending
only enough gold to Dublin for their
passing needs. About the Meeting of
the Waters" made famous by Moore,
and in the Avoca river, they have re-
Gently closely searched the streams,
with the result that the metal to the
value of 1925 is now sent weekly to
Dublin This fact at length becoming
known, a gold fever set in, and the
government has seriously set about look
ing for the source from which the free
gold has come. With this object it has
sent a mining expert, Mr.. Lyburn,
lately returned from the Transvaal, who
is charged to report upon the prospect OF
finding the metal in paying quantities.

Der of children. who, according to his
view should find a refuge in the poor
houses and become chargeable on the
Irish rates, were sent to the Industrial
Schools, where the Imperial taxpayer was
obliged to contribute something towards
their support In addition, there was the
usual hypocritical pretense that the ac-
ton of the Government was taken in be-
half of the semi criminal children, who,
it was alleged, were shut out of the
schools which we're really intended for
their benefit. lot the slightest proof
was adduced in support OF this allegation
which could only have any Importance
in the case Of Dublin and Belfast as the
two centres where a large criminal popu-
lation is only 10 be found. The effect OF
the Government contention, if it is
carried out in pr Actice, will be to exclude
from the benefits of the industrial schools
the children of .he destitute poor in the
counties. Sergeant Heinphill very prop
erly pointed out that the Irish Magistrates
we're not bound to interpret the law &C
cording to the Instructions from Dublin
Castle, and he contended that the words
of the Act would fully justify the Irish
Magistrates in continuing TO send desti-
tute children to the industrial schools at
least until such time as the exact mean-
ing of the act should be defined by one
of the higher courts of law. 1t is to be
hoped that this hint will be acted upon,
and that the Irish Magistrates will refuse
to allow themselves to be browbeaten by

TEN, as it would have the effect of
practically emptying the schools of their

THE ANGELS WHISPER.

In Ireland they have a pretty fancy
that when child smiles in its sleep it is
talking with angels.")
A baby was sleeping;
Its mother was weeping;
For her husband was far on the wild rag
ing sea;
And the tempest was swelling.
Round the fisherman's dwelling;
And she cried, "Dermot, darling, O
come back to mel"
Her beads while she numbered,
The baby still slumbered.
And smiled in her face as she Bonded her
knee;
"Oh, blest be that warming
My child, thy sleep adjoining,
For know that the angels are whisper
ing to thee.
"And while they are keeping
Bright watch DER thy sleeping,
o pray to them softly, my babe, with me
And say thou wouldst rather
They'd watch DER thy father;
For know that the angels are whisper
ing to thee"
The dawn of the morning
Saw Dermot returning,
And the wife wept with JOY her babes
father to see;
And closely. caressing
Her child with blessing,
Said, II knew that the angels were
whispering with thee.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
Perfect "Cist" on Exhibition.
Unique Museum AttraC-
ton.

In the Royal Irish Academy section of
the National Museum there now finds
place an ancient tomb of a type known
to antiquarians as a ''cist, which is said
to be the most perfect specimen of its
kind ever unearthed and put on view.
The find was made in the neighborhood
of Tallaght, County Dublin, by a gang
of workmen, who while engaged in
cutting into bank in gravel pit sud-
denly came upon roughly hattened
flag. This stone sliding down disclosed
a sepulchral chamber containing incinary
urns. This cist is almost square-shaped:
il is about thirty inches along each side,
its walls being composed of slabs of stone
bearing the marks of rough chipping
The cover or roof of the cist is in itself
peculiar. On fiat stone two inclosed
stones are superimposed They form a
ridge, and at the sides project like caves,
the idea evidently being to lessen the
effects of the percolation of moisture
into the interior of the cist. In the
chamber were three urns, i'll shape like
flower pots, with re-entering brims to
prevent the scattering of the contents if
the vessels fell ca the side. The largest
pot, about foo; high, was inverted over
an urn about Il /. size OF tea-cup, and
in the latter were found the remains of
burnt bones. Al empty urn about eight
inches high stood upright in a corner Of
the chamber. When found it was
empty, but is thought to have contained
food Offering. All these vessels were
decorated with triangular, linear and rec
tangular hicks, but show no trace of
coloring. The medium sized vessel,
which is extremely we'll baked, has a
familiar reddish hue. Viewed at some
distance the urns give the impression of
basket work. This valuable discovery
was treated by the Royal Irish Academy
with a sort Of stealthy care. They got
the laborers to cut right through the
gravel bank at the back of the cist, and
transported to the museum the entire
section of ground containing the cham
her. The removal lasted nearly thirty
six hours. II was ticklish job, for the
gravel section weighed over three tons,
and to preserve it intact it had to be
cased like slab of honey. AS exhib-
tied in the Museum. the cist is embedded
in a bank measuring about five by five
by three feet. The door flag is down, so
that the interior of the chamber and the
pots can be viewed. Antiquarians who
have seen the cist say that its date is
about 500 B. c., and Professor of Trim
ity College, who has made an examina-
ton of the human remains in the small
est urn, states that the burnt bones are
those of an adult Who or what he was
there is no indication Of, for in such
finds no written record or decipherable
characters can be or are expected to be
brought to light. A description of the
cist and its urns is soon to be submitted
to the Royal Irish Academy for publica-

TRUE LOVE Will NEVER DIE.

How could you think my love was dead
True love will never die
The daisies, when the summers fed,
Beneath the surface lie,
Dreaming of pleasures life can bring
Forgetful Of the pain;
And with the coming of the spring,
The daisies bloom again.
So, when ! knew your heart was cold,
NV passion sleeping lay
Wrapt in DEFENDERS icy fold,
But dreaming still of May
Was it design or cruel chance
Love $ fond delusion broker
Beneath the sunshine of your glance
Ny sleeping passion woke.
Bring back the summer of your smile,
The day OF vain delight;
Let me but hope little while
Before the endless night
My flower of love, its fragrance shed,
Now crushed and withered lies;
How could you think my love was dead
Alasl love never dies.

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

The Indiana Legislature has started the
ball rolling by passing bill providing
for the destruction of the English spar
row, Boston gives it kick and Kentucky
must do her part to rid this glorious
country of one of the worst sells ever in
ficted on our people-the English spar
row. If these little tramps would eat or
destroy every moth OF moth egg in ex-
istence-which they don't begin to do
it could not compensate for the loss of
our own social, beautiful songsters. It is
a shame and disgrace to tolerate these
feathered hoodlums, for they are nothing
less. AS soon as a native bird shows
itself, two three or a dozen-they never
fight singlehanded (they are too coward
ly) will perch themselves around and
about and threaten and menace until the
native flaps his wings and starts for some
more congenial locality, only to be fol
lowed by these English bandits until he
is driven clear of the preserves of one
colony into another to fare the same fate
until he goes off and hides himself in the
Businesses of the mountains. Caterpillars
be blowed. These little English beggars
don't bother about bugs and worms, be-
cause they don't have to; they simply de-
your the farmers grain and rob the
chickens and pigeons of their meals.
They build their nests in the cutters OF
the residences, which makes the water
unfit for use, causes the roof to leak, rots
the tin and sometimes causes fire alarms.
Exterminate the English fraud and give
our own birds their rights,
