JOHN ]. M'GRATH.
His Sudden Death Came as a
Shock to His Friends
and Relatives.

John J. McGrath's death last Saturday
came as a great shock, to his army of
friends and relatives. He had only Beef
sick for about week, having caught
cold, which developed into pneumonia.
He was for several years letter carrier,
and on leaving the Government service
he went into business for himself at
Eighth and Oak streets, but lately has
been a partner in the firm of Delaney &
McGrath, at Seventh and ST. Catherine,
where he was doing a successful bust
ness.
Mr.. McGrath was born and raised in
this city, and has long been an active
member of Division 4 of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, the members of
which testify to his many good qualities
and kind heartedness. He leaves loving
wife, who sincerely mourns his loss. His
funeral took place Monday morning from
the Dominican church, the exercises be-
ing conducted by Rev. Father Logan,
who delivered a very touching sermon, in
which he paid many tributes to the good
traits of the deceased.
The remains we're followed to St. Louis
cemetery by Division 4, A. o. H., and a
large number of sorrowing friends. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. Thomas Brown,
James Ross, Will Reilly, Daniel Nc
Auliffe, John Baker and Will Delaney.
At the meeting of Division of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians Wednesday
a committee composed of Messrs. Thomas
Lynch, Harry Brady and NJ. J.. Walsh
submitted the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God
to take unto Himself one of our time
honored and Jealous members, John ].
McGrath, and, while we humbly submit
to His holy will, we do not the less mourn
for our departed brother; therefore be it
Resolved, That it is just tribute to
the memory of the deceased to say that,
in regretting his removal from our midst,
we mourn for one who was in every re-
spect worthy of our esteem.
Resolved, That we sincerely condone
with the family of the deceased in their
affection, and commend them for conso-
lation to Him who orders all things for
the best, and whose chastisements are
meant in mercy.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread on the minutes of this society.

BLUFF WON'T WORK.

From the Dublin Independent of late
date we clip the following, which may
be read with interest, as it comments on
a live topic: Saturdays Spectator con-
tains an article on the Nicaragua canal
which is hardly calculated to strengthen
the entente cordial between England and
the United States, not to speak of ce-
menting the ''ties of kinship" about
which so much good ink has been lately
spilled. eve and the Americans" says
the Spectator, "agreed some forty-eight
years ago that canal should only be
made and controlled by the two powers
acting together and in no case by either
power singly. Thus if we choose we can
no doubt veto the making OF the canal
and prevent the Americans doing what
they so much want to do. The people OF
this country have, therefore, to consider
whether they will or will not veto the
canal9' Hoity, toity3 but 1--WE, Our
selves & Co." are growing highly Import
ant these days. Uncle Sam will doubt
less feel obliged that the Spectator has
condescended for this once not to use its
veto power and put stop to Americas
progress with the Nicaragua canal. II
might, perhaps, be as well If the
Spectator and other equally obtruse
Cockney journals should get it into their
heads that United States is not Japan, and
that attempts to bluff that country out OF
the spoils of war simply won't work.

cHILDHOOD's CHARMS.

l placed my boy in the barber's chair,
To be shorn of his ringlets gay,
And soon the wealth of his golden hair
On the floor i'll a circle lay.
Twas trihing thing of daily life,
And to many unworth thought,
Too small theme mid the toll and strife
OF this worlds changing lot.
But the ringing cut of the cruel shears
To my heart strings caused pang,
For they changed the child of my hopes
and fears
With the scornful tune they sang.
My thoughts were bent on the little cap,
And the curls that round it twined
Like golden clasps with which to trap
The sunbeam and the wind.
No more shall l see the flying curls
AS my homeward steps wend
Another stage of his life unfurls
Where youth and childhood blend.
So when from the chair he stepped at
length
He stood with his artless smile,
Like Samson shorn of his locks of
strength
By Delilah's treacherous vile.
Thus, one by one, will vanish away
The charms of his childish life,
And each bring nearer his manhood's day
With its scenes of toll and strife.
God grant that my lease of life may last
Through his changing years of youth
Till the danger rapids of life are passed
And Samson stands in truth.

SATISFACTORY WORK GUARANTEED

The Kentucky Irish American takes
pleasure in announcing to its readers
that it has made arrangements with
Mrs. c. c. Devenny, the well-known and
popular artist, whereby they may be en-
abled to obtain life-size crayon portraits
for the nominal sum of 81, which will
include one years subscription to this
paper.
Mrs. Devenny was for a number of
years located at Third and Jefferson
streets, and has produced some of the
most artistic and highly finished work
ever seen in Louisville. Specimens of
her work will be on exhibition in our
business Office, and in each instance sat-
isfaction will be guaranteed.
These crayon portraits and the Ken
lucky Irish American for one year can
be procured for the small sum of 81.
The portraits will be life-size, 16x20
inches, and alone are worth double the
price asked. They will be the work of
home talent, and not like many hereto
fore offered by other parties, be the ma
chine-made stuff turned out in other
cities and represented as good work.
These pictures will be taken only from
clean photographs and tin types. This
offer will not last long, and we would ask
those wishing to take advantage of it to
call and place their orders as soon as
possible. Another such opportunity may
not present itself.
Remember you get 6rst-class crayon
portrait and the Kentucky Irish Amer-
lean for one year for only 81. If the
work is not as represented you pay moth

FINANCIAL REDRESS.

The All-Ireland Committee has passed
a resolution approving of the suggestion
made by Mr.. John Redmond that con-
ference of the Irish members of the
Houses of Lords and Commons be held
in Dublin at an early date to take into
consideration the present position and
prospects of the financial relations ques-
tons and the necessity for taking some
practical steps on the subject. The reso-
luton also declares in favor of a conven-
ton on subsequent date of delegates
from all the branches of the Irish Finan-
cial Reform League, with a view to
further action. In the meantime the
League will continue by means of public
meetings the endeavor to still further
rouse public opinion on the question.
One will be held in the Mansion House
on January and second in Ballast on
the Goth. Such meetings can not fail to
be productive of much good. They will
demonstrate that on this question at least
the country is practically united, and
that neither old feuds nor present politi-
cal differences will hinder the co-opera-
ton of all classes in the movement for
redress. But something more than this
is wanted. A definite plan of action
must be decided on. No Government,
whether Conservative or Liberal. will
grant anything to Ireland in response to
the most eloquent and argumentative ap-
peals from the platform. Such a plan,
so far as Parliaplept- IS concerned, may
we'll be left to the Irish members of all
shades of opinion. They have already
found it possible to work together on the
question in the House of Commons, and
they must all see that if it is to be further
advanced a new line of action must
be taken. 1t would be very gratifying
and at the same time significant fact if
they assembled in Dublin to consider
what this action is to be. 1t would
serve to bring home to the Government
and to the English people that this is re-
garded by all, whether Unionist or Ma
tionalist, Catholic or Protestant, as a
national question which it is the duty of
every Irishborn man to press to solu-
ton. The proposed convention, which
would bring all classes together, would
also be significant fact the Importance
of which no Government could afford to
ignore, for its decision would go forth
with authority and would be Loyalty
acted on throughout the entire coun-
try. In order that the decision should
have all the more weight an effort should
be at once made by the committees of
the different branches of the League to
increase the roll of Membership. Not
much, we fear, has been done in this
direction lately. The All-Ireland Com
mittee having made the proposal for the
conference of the Irish members of both
houses of Parliament their own, we hope
to hear in the course of a feW days that
measures have been taken successfully to
bring about the conference. The ALL
Ireland Committee may be depended on
to do all in its power to make the con-
vention thorouphly representative.

Conduit Laying Might he Made of
Advantage 10 the city.

In connection with the general upturn-
ing of the soil in the streets for the lay
ing of electric light conduits and other
purposes the suggestion that instead Of
tearing up the asphalt and other pave
ments at considerable expense to the com
pany for replacing, the excavations he
made along the sidewalks, is meeting with
approval. This plan could be followed at
less expense and with less interference
with traffic, 1t is claimed A large pro-
portion of the sidewalks are in a bad state
Of repair and the companies TO whom these
privileges are granted could In return be
required to replace the sidewalks and TO
maintain them thereafter.
They should be required to make the
city some return for the privileges grant
ed them and such a requirement cas- this
could be complied with at small expense,
said an official who has given the matter
some thought 1T would be cheaper to
replace sidewalks than street paving and
then, II they were required TO maintain
the sidewalks put down by them they
would thus be the gamer. The property
owners would doubtless be willing to sub
NIT to the inconvenience of having their
sidewalks torn up for a few days IN re-
turn for the exemption thus given them
from maintaining the walks as the ordi
nances now require"
The electric light company has already
made considerable progress with its work,
but in case of future operations of this
kind for telephone and other conduits, the
suggestion is likely to he urged. In fact,
with the conduits of two companies now
occupying the streets in the business sec
ton the next company to make excava-
tons may be compelled to take to thu
sidewalks in order TO avoid the conduits
of its competitors. In such a case a re-
quirement TO replace and maintain side
walks could not be considered onerous
