route to Africa. for the purpose OF

MR. TOWNE AND ST. PATRICK.

From tho Duluth News.Tribune: &.
In response to an invitation TO
"whcop it up for the Irish" Mr..
Charles A. Towne on Friday even.
ing d.livered a stirring grafton on
St. Patrick's day. Concerning
the birth and early education of
the good St. Patrick, Mr.. Towne
said: K
"With great military establish.
ment it will BE- easier for tyranny
to travel from the ORIENT to
! America than it will be for liberty
to travel from the United States
to the Philippines, particularly
when the messengers Of peace are
thrown from the 13-inch guns of
the Oregon"
OF the adolescence of The saint,
and the beginnings of his work
for Ireland, the orator decl red:
''The war that has just closed
had the noblest inspiration of any
war since the crusades. .. We
started in with no selfish inten-
irons, hut to free q people to
whom had been waited from our
shores the aroma of liberty aud
law. But the minute we began to
reach out and fight for territory
the war became cheap, land
grabbing, murderous escap de that
any bul lying, Dragging brigand
among the nations might stoop
to-"
Mr.. Towne, whose antiquarian
studies have been extensive, was
enabled to throw quite little light
upon the greatest snake story in
history. H. said:
: II am u"a)terably opposed to
imperialism. Tn" nation can no
more remain half.repubEc and
half-empire than in Lincoln's
time it could remain haIf-slave
and half free.''
1t may be said that Mr.. Towne
"whooped it up" more for the
! undergraduates than for the
Irish, but
Imperial Caesar, dead and turned to clay,
Might stop hole to keep the wind away;
And now St. Patrick's llonored names a

New YORK, March 22.-The follow
ing preamble and resolution relating to
the Windsor hotel fire were passed
unanimously by the board Of aldermen:
"Whereas, The terrible catastrophe
in the shape of the Windsor hotel fire,
with the accompanying loss Of life and
millions Of property, has wildly called
attention to the public necessity for the
greater protection Of the hotel living
people; therefore, be it
81. Resolved, That the legislature is
hereby respectfully requested to pass,
and the governor sign, q bill which will
give the commissioner 81 buildings in
the city Of New York full power and
authority to investigate, and, if neces-
sary, demolish all h6tel buildings in
said city not absolutely 6reproof."
Wants Them FireprooE.
Commissioner Brady of the depart
ment Of public buildings said he be-
lieved absolutely in ireproof buildings.
Buildings should be 80 constructed that
when a fire broke out on the second or
third floors the floors above could be
shut off from the fire and be practically
fireproof SO flames could not reach them.
This, he said, should not only be
adopted, but other things should also
be considered. Alarms should be placed
in each room. Watchmen should pa
troll the Railways at all hours and the
hotels should be provided with the most
improved appliances for fighting fire.
He believed that power should be
vested in some department which
should see to it that these appliances
were in order and to have men for this
purpose alone.
