LAST OF THE IRISH.
The Jews Had Crowded Others From
Orchard Street, But Aged Mary
McGinlev Stauad TIL She Died.


To Mary McGnIey's deathbed came
in long line last Saturday the young
and the old people of orchard street.
says New York paper. She had lived
here for so many years that they had
always known. her
Their faces dark under brilliant col
ored shawls worn as-hoods, silk hats
rusty as leaves or trees in the autumn
caps oddly peaked, long boards and
! frL tx coats, Were not in harmony with
her two dark rooms
These were decked with colOred lith-
ographs of the Madonna Dolla Sedia
the Descent from the Cross, the last
Supper, the portrait of Archbishop
Hughes. Mrs. Mckinley was grieved
to death because these images of her
faith were there only of all the rooms
| IN the tenements from Division street
to East Houston.
In her time, Orchard street was Irish.
In the first years of the Yiddish inva-
sion she captiVated it's affection by the
tenderness with which she talked to
the young people. She would say tc
them, when they came to her complain
ing of persecution by street Arabs:
You must suffer a little, you know, be-
cause Christ was crucified." But she
scolded the street Arabs Every one
said that she was lovable.
When the invasion had repulsed the
Irish from Canal street to Grand, she
said: I'll stay. I'll be the last of the
Mohicans."
Her husband is a paper handler for
Harper & Brothers, a hard working, !
honest old man. He would say to her: |
You are right, Mary We are the new
Indians. Let's go to the Bronx or to
Brooklyn" But she would not move !
Two months ago she found herself |
the only Irish woman on Orchard |
street. She was as friendly as ever tC
her neighbors, they laughed as much |
as ever at her criticism of their faith
made in constant, ingenious good hui
NOR. But she was discouraged at
heart
When mckinley came to dinner o.
late there was no food. The stove was
cold. How can you eat?" she asked
How can you think of eating, when
you know that we are the only Chris
tians on Orchard street," He replied:
Lets move" But she would not con-
sent to that.
She died at midnight fifteen minutes
after she had said: There will be nc
more Irish on Orchard street" Her
husband, John Mckinley, said yester-
day: She was right, l will not stay
here" Orchard street is sincerely
sorry for him

the massive cross at the summit of the

When it is stated that the altitude of
Nelson pillar is only 125 feet. and that
the Arnott tower near it is five feet
lower. The Christian emblem will thus
be visible many miles on every side OF

from the ground will be placed the
massive clock, with face six feet three
inches in diameter, and still far away
overhead the bells will swing and send
the music of their chimes from hin to

feet square, the massive walls being
nine feet six inches thick.
The work generally will be built of
local punched block limestone. and the
dressings and windows and buttresses
and turrets, etc, will be chiseled white

and said:
1T is much to be regretted. but in a
considerable campaign we must look
out fer such incidents. 1t is not in the
nature of Britons to take much notice
of them. We have had a good many of
the same kind. and have generally got
out right in the end But whatever
happens, we must see this thing
through. even if it should cost still
more battalions and still more millions.
Some day there will be an inquisi-

this war, but the time for that is not
now. Our duty now is to support those
who have the direction of affairs"

STOCKINGS MADE IN
IRELAND.

A pair of Queen Victorias stockings
has been creating a good deal of excite
ment in Australia lately, greatly to the
displeasure of the late owner it is said.
1t seems that one of her majesty's
dressers sent a pair of these hose to a
friend in Australia, and by some means
they fell into the hands of well known
Sydney mercantile house, and were
loaned by Lady barley for exhibition
at a bazaar held in st. James parish
hall. in aid of the sisters of the church.
Her ladyship advertised, as an at
traction. that a pair of stockings worn
by the queen, and made specially for
her, would be on view on one particu-
lar afternoon, and the Sydney folk
fiocked to the Guelphic stocking dis

Rushing hurriedly into matrimony,

of their follies.
Young women marry from various
motives, but unless love is the basis
of their union. they run great risks.
Love is the one Indispensable element
| without which marriage is mockery
! A very subtle and indefinable quality
is love. But it is the most substantial,
the most reliable thing in the world.
If people have it not, they have no
right to marry, unless their marriage
is a mere matter Of convenience, carry
ing with it no expectation of happiness
to the participants.
There should be love on both sides. If
1t be lacking on either side friendship
should never be allowed to develop into
an engagement and terminate in a
marriage.
Young people should have definite
understandings upon these points and
not entangle themselves in relation
ships which give no promise of perma-
nence and satisfaction to both parties
If young woman is not positively
in love with the young man who is
paying serious attention to her, she

protection Of good American guns for
many miles at sea before approaching the

vessels Of all sizes have passed in and
