A COMING MAN.
Young lrish-AmeriCan Who Is
Pushing to the Front
Rapidly.

Hon. James K Mcclure, though only
thirty-one years of age, has been nom.
mated for a third term for Mayor OF
Syracuse, N. Y.
Mr. Mcclure was born in New York
city July II, 1868. His parents removed
to Syracuse when he was a child. He
attended the Christian Brothers. school
and. arose before dawn in those days to
distribute papers over his long route. He
left school before finishing the course
and went to work. He drifted from
position to position, always with the
desire to better himself; he sold papers,
candy and fruit npon trains between
Syracuse and Albany, sorted raisins and
nuts for candy maker, worked in shops
and factories; but all the time, under the
careful guidance of his mother, his even
ings were spent at home and what few
pennies could be spared were used to
purchase books. His mother endeavored
to impress upon his youthful mind the
importance of an education.
When he was twenty he refused a
nomination for a member of Assembly.
About that time he became quite promi-
nent in local politics. He was sent to
several local conventions, and each year
his interest in local politics grew apace.
In 1892 he stumped Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio for the Democratic candidate for
President. He has made speeches. hand
ling many themes, in many States.
In 1895, when only twenty-seven, Mr..
Mcclure was elected Mayor of Syracuse.
During his first term he made many
improvements and good record, which
reelected him in 1897.
In 1896 he married Frances Gertrude
Mcclure, of Forrestport. He has two
children, Gertrude and Mary. He is
very fond of children and has given pic
mics and dinners for their entertainment.
he belongs to innumerable societies.
which is something he is very proud of.
A year ago he was prominently mentioned
as candidate for Governor and entered
the Democratic State convention, but
was unsuccessful. He is now a promin-
ent figure in Democratic State politics.

nation by press and people in this
country. Rev. Father Reany,
chaplain of the Olympia, in an in
terview in Boston, emphatically
denies the charge, and says that the
churches were sacked by Filipinos
and Chinese, who stole or destroyed
everything of value. 1t has also
developed that the dispatch (?)
charging American soldiers with
this vandalism, though dated Ma
Mia, really originated in the Office
of sensational New York yellow
journal.

Old Kentucky never had politi-
cal campaign to develop so many
liars-that is based on the epithets
applied to their opponents by the
respective candidates, their adj
herents and organs. The campaign,
however. will be a good thing for
the State, as she is having what she
has long needed-a political shaking
up, arousing her people, and by
discussion of public affairs from op-
posing parties forcing them to think
before they vote. There has been
too much of blind partisanism in
this State.

Col. Mike Muldoon's mare for
Park Commissioner will be on the
Brown ticket. Put your x after
his name, no matter whom you vote
for otherwise. The arbitrary and
inconsistent action of that Demo-
cratic committee deserve rebuke,
and Colonel Muldoon should be
vindicated by being elected in spite
of them.

and gain control of the affairs of
Government.
The Liberal and Unionist leaders
and press have not hesitated to
criticise and condemn the Govern
ment course in this matter, now
that the Irish leaders and press,
which rarely devote much attention
to questions not directly affecting
their own country, are adding their
protests, indicate a uniting of oppo
sition parties against the Tory Gov
eminent in Parliament when it
meets in special session to consider
the Transvaal question. That the
meeting of Parliament is regarded
with apprehension by the Govern
ment is apparent from the anxiety
of the Tory leaders and press, their
appeals to the patriotism of the
people, the business interests, and
finally the threats against those
known or thought to be opposed to
the position of tho Government, as
revealed in the case of the Irish
members.
The proceedings of Parliament
will be watched closely, and until
its action is known the tension of
anxiety bordering upon nervous
ness in all branches of trade, as
well as politically, will continue in
England. Should the action of
Parliament be adverse, an appeal to
the people will put the English
Government to the test of a crisis
the most trying in its history.

In the heat of the campaign it i:
being quietly charged that Mr..
John Marshall, candidate for Lieu.
tenant Governor on the Republican
ticket, is member of an anti-Irish
and anti-Catholic organization.
Were this true we would have
warned our readers, as we are op-
posed to, and believe all Irish
Americans should oppose, any one
approving of bigotry and proscrip-
ton, no matter what ticket he may
be on. But it is not true. Mr..
John Marshall is not one of the
Know Nothing Marshalls, and to
vote against him on that ground is
a gross injustice to him, as he is a
gentleman of liberal views, fully re-
specting all creeds and nationalities;
besides the only members of his
political party who oppose him are
the "No Irish need apply" mo
Popery element, who were knocked
out by his nomination, and wish
him defeated brcause he is not one
of them.

SHOWER OF METEORITES.

/
On the night of November IA will occur
one of the greatest natural spectacles ever
afforded by the heavens to the view OF
man. This spectacle is the great fall OF
meteorites known as the Leonids. 1t &C.
ours only once in thirty-three years. Two
thousand millions of miles of meteors
will then fash past the earth. The
meteorites, touching the atmosphere of
the earth, become ignited by the rapidity
of their fight. Countless millions of
them will fall, and they will appear red,
white, orange, green and all the colors of
the rainbow. The fact that they ignite
and dissolve on contact with the atmos-
phere is all that saves the earth from
destruction. 1t has been only within this
century that astronomers have discovered
the cause of the great November meteoric
showers. and only since Tempel found
that the Leonids are fragments of a
former comet have astronomers been as
sured of their periodicity. The single
meteorite which makes when it strikes
the earth's atmosphere the so-called
shooting star" is only mere tramp in
the heavens. 1t is detached fragment
of some shattered planet and it wanders
more or less through space until it comes
within the circle OF attraction of some
larger body, when gravity causes it to fall.
But the comet is creature of the skies
and more to be reckoned with. Erratic
as its course may seem, it pursues def
mite course among the more regular
orbits of the stars. The length of the
orbit which it travels varies from the
comparatively small distance of few
hundred millions of miles to one which
reaches into the thousands of billions.
The Leonids whose grandeur will be visi-
BILE next month are the fragments of
former comet. Today they are following
the course pursued by that comet in by
gone ages Reckoned by the figures of
the heavens the Leonids are but infants,
having separated from the parent body
only thirty-three hundred years ago The
mind is dazed at the mountains of num-
beers hurled with greatest ease and sim
cerity by scientific men in their computa-
ton of astronomical bodies orbits dis
tances and periods. The display will be
visible about l a. m. on November 10,
continuing during the days and nights of
the 10th and 18th, gradually diminishing
in numbers and brilliancy till all will
have disappeared not to return again till
thirty-three years hence.

We shall haVc.tO alter that line about
pearls from the ocean and gems from

ian has found out how to grow pearls in

trained to do his bidding. This is, of

dodge of inserting a small sphere in an
oyster shell, which in time will become
coated with mother Of pearl and resem-

An Unexpected Ending to the

QUESTIONS RULED OUT

Was Being Denied His Rights.
Year of Redemption
Not Expired.

In Judge IindsaN's department Of the
district court yesterday a suit of Henry

for trial but ended rather suddenly and
unexpectedly. About year ago Munt-
ger got judgment against Jonas and
his wife and under an execution the
property of the Defendants consisting
of the Theresa lode claim, a house. sa-
loon and dance hall near Silver Bow
junction, was sold ana bid in by Munt-
ger. The defendants however. contin-

move and Muntzer brought another
suit to disp0ssess them and for 500 as

for Jonas a the trial yesterday. Be
fore the trial had proceeded far it de-
Teloped that the suit had been brought
before the year of redemption had en-

that the plaintiff and defendant occu-
pied the relation Of landlord and tenant
and that the suit was an action for
forcible entry and detainer Mr.. Munt-

he had had with Jonas but as there was
no evidence at all that he himself had
