was reelected, and in 1885 he was again
elected for North Galway division, the
seat for which he retained till 1895. He
was one of the earliest to join the home
rule movement under Isaac Butt, and
later on he became one of the sturdiest
followers of Parnell to whom he stuck
with admirable fidelity in 1890. He has
always taken a keen interest in the de-
velopment of the material resources of
ireland, and particularly of the West,
and ne accomplished not a little for
Irish interests during his time in Parlia-
ment. In the army he had a high repu-
tation as an artillery officer, having
invented the first rangefnder.
Stephen ]. Brown, Solicitor, of Mas,
though long settled on the capital town
of the county of Kildare, does not belong
by birth to that part of the country, but
to the region between Dundalk and
Newry. He was educated, however, at
Clongowes-a circumstance which prob
ably led to his settling down in the
county of the "short grass" and, with
the exception of the time he spent in
Trinity College, of which he is gradu-
ate, he has spent there most of his life.
He has always been an outspoken Nation
alist, but that has not prevented him
from reaching the very front rank of his
profession, having for wears had the lead
ing practice not only in Kildare, but in
one or two neighboring counties as we'll.
While he has thus attended closely to his
professional work, he has set an example
of public spirit to others by taking an
active part in the administration of local
affairs, having been for years Chairman
of the Town Board of Mas. After such
a career, it was but natural that he should
be selected for the Craftsmanship of the
Kildare Council, and, as he is still young
man, it is hoped he may yet be prevailed
upon to occupy even higher representa-
tive position.

WAS JUST BUDDING INTO MANHOOD

Drowned, William L. Higgins, Com
pany b, Ninth Infantry, April 90" This
brief sentence met the eye of Mr.
William NJ. Higgins, of the Kentucky
Irish American, as he opened the Post
on Monday afternoon. 1t was the name,
the company, the regiment of his eldest
son and from Manila, where the regiment
had arrived a few days before. Shocked
and overcome with grief, the father
hastened home to the family, vainly en-
deavoring to control his emotions and
divine some way to break the sad news
to the mother, the sisters, the brothers.
But entering the home at the sight of
the family his courage failed him, and
he broke down in the anguish of grief.
The sad news was learned by all as he
had learned from the brief telegram.
We draw the veil over the stricken fam
lily who, instead of expected news from
the boy announcing his safe arrival at
Manila, received instead information of
his sudden death. Mr.. Higgins and
family have the heartfelt sympathy, not
only of their friends and acquaintance,
but Of all who know of their bereavement.
William l.. Higgins was born in this
city July IS, 1873. He was bright and
ambitious for advancement in life, and
expressed desire to become civil engi-
neer. He visited his grandparents in
Syracuse, n. ", and shortly afterward
joined the regular army, enlisting at
WATERFOWL, with the purpose of finally,
by faithfulness to duty and study, earn
ing promotion and eventually being
assigned to the Engineer Corps. How
we'll he was succeeding can be inferred,
when in less than year he had been
made Corporal. and by his strict regard
for discipline and obedience gave promise
of rapid advance.
His regiment was ordered to the front
and left for Manila on March list.
Patrick's day. On April 2, Easter
Sunday he left Honolulu, his last letter
to the family being written from there.
Young Higgins was filled with the high
expectations and hopes of youth and
eager to reach the Philippines, and prom
ised to promptly inform them of his
arrival about May |.
The details of young Higgins death
are not known here. His father wired
the War Department on Tuesday, but the
reply gave nothing, additional, though il
verified the sad news. it being included
in the list of dead reported by Gen. Otis.
Thus has a youth, just budding into
manhood, filled with the yearning and
hopes for the future, that he might earn
fame to himself and bring JOY to the
hearts of loved ones, fallen a sacrifice tc
the cause of his country. But Goo
knows best.

Praying by Machinery.

In most of the villages gre found
u quantity of praying-wheels or cyl
inders, erected by pious Buddhists, and
it is an act of religion to turn these
wheels in passing. This not only bene-
fits the soul of the founder, and helps
him to attain Nirvana, but also the
soul of the traveller, as every act of
charity meets it's reward in future
state. The lamas usually carry pray
ing-wheels, which they are perpetual
ly turning in sign of prayer, while the
common people make frequent use of
them. This custom of praying by ma
chinery is thoroughly CHARACTERISTIC of
land where all is weird, fantastic and
topsy-turvy, and in which the newcomer
seems to live in a dream of unreality.
One can sympathize with the traveller
who tells us that he would not have
been surprised to learn that in Tibet
as in Gulliver's country of Laputa, some
ingenious person had contrived a new
method of building houses, by begin
ming at the roof and working downward
to the foundation.-Times of India.
