DR.. John L. Walshe, of Kilmacthom-
as, died on Oct. 81. For the past 20
years he had occupied the position OF
Medical Officer of the Kilmactllomas
Workhouse and surrounding dispensary
districts, and during that time he had
won for himself the esteem and good
will of all with whom he came in COIL
tact, especially the poor entrusted to his
care. His death was not altogether un-
expected, as for the past few weeks he
had been in failing health. His remains
we're removed for interment to the FAM

lowed by large and sympathetic con-
course OF friends and the general public.

alone. 1t is to the vigilant, the active,
the brave. We have no choice but to
fight. 1t is now too late to retreat
there is no retreat but submission and
slavery. Our chains are forged, their
clanking may be heard on the Pasig
banks! These Americans cry Peace,
peace! when there is no peace. The
war must be finished. Every wind
brings with it the sounds of the rifles
and the cry OF our bleeding brothers.
Then why are we here? What can we
do? Is life so dear or peace so sweet
as to be bought at the price OF chains
and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God!
l know not what this council may de-
eide, but as for me, give ME liberty or
give me DEATH"

The fad OF the day is the collection
OF Recreation stamps. Almost every
retail merchant carries them, and rarely
is purchase made, which is not fol-

stamps. They are as good as gold' at
the local tleaters and many OF the news
papers accept them in lieu OF cash for
subscriptions. Two dollars worth OF
Recreation stamps will pay for a years

NEWS FROM IRELAND
Paul Kruger at Majuba.

Edul hEuSSI al 1dJuDds
Now Christ thee save, Paul Kruger!
Now Christ thee save from harm!
And may the God Of Joshua
Bear up thy strong right arm.
May He who fought the battles
Or all thy hero sires,
When Orange William kindled
Il The blaze of Freedoms fires;
May He whose stern war angel
The English pirate smote,
When Cromwell's bloody talons
! Were crooked at Hollands throat;
May He who cast His aegis
Ger flooded dyke and dam,
When down mid roaring pillows
Went Frances oriflamme;,
May He defend the children
Who kept the fathers cause,
Who raised the ocean ramparts, :.
And babe the spoiler pause.
No guardian surges round them
Laugh now the foe to scorn,
But swelling thews and sinews
Or men to freedom sworn;
And breasts with Right thrice-plated,
And hands that love the sword,
And hearts that count most holy
The drops for Freedom poured;
And brains that guide in wisdom
The arms that strain to smite,
And Mind, DER all victorious,
That leads the van in fight;
And DER them, and about them,
The rapture of a world
That halls the swapping letters,
The tyrant downward hurled.
Yea, DER them and about them,
The prayers of every slave,
The hopes of every champion,
The blessings of the brave.
Lo, these shall be the bulwarks
No redcoat robber scales,
Till once again his banner
Before the Dutchman's trails!
Then bring the newborn infant,
The babe in glory sent,
From Wars red font baptismal
His shining brow besprent;
And hold him well, Paul Kruger!
And shield him with thy life,
And for his sake be hallowed
The bloody sweat and strife!
And JOY shall lash the pulses
Of freeman and of slave,
To see the young Republic
Throned on despot's grave.
Then Christ thee keep, Paul Kruger!
Then Christ thee keep from harm;
And may the dcathless story
Nerve many patriots arm.
And Christ thee keep, Paul Kruger,
And shrine thee in the skies;
No fairer spirit walketh
s.s'a' The fields of Paradise;
No brighter star hath heaven,
Mid all the flaming band.
Than he who lives and labors,
And dies-for Fatherland.

Worcester at present or in the spring.
Boston contractors and architects say
that they have never felt so cheerful

expect to have all the work they can
do as soon as warmer weather comes.
There were eight building permits is

# the philosophy that life in the army

of the philosophy that life in the army
is no picnic.
They longer for the order assigning
them to regimental service, and when
it came, a wave of relief swept all over
the Massachusetts delegation. Every
one was assigned to the fighting Sew
enth, then at Tampa, and the moment
they reached there, a fight sprung up
between a Boston belilgerent and the
first sergeant. After the sergeant had
given him the worst whipping he ever
had, he marched him over TO the cap
tain's tent and these were the instruc-
tions that the winner received: Ser
geant, If that man ever makes trouble
for you again, take a musket and
knock his head open. Take him to the
guard house now and keep him there
for the next As hours. Then make him
walk a circle for three hours and re-
turn him to duty That ended the
fighting, and the first night in the field
was passed by the Massachusetts boys
in the very undignified duty Of guard
ing the mule pens.
Somehow, the stars and stripes
seemed to be dropping all off the nag
and the country had gone into the mule
business on SO large a scale that II
was hard to tell the men from the
mules. But there vas a little patriot
ism left yet, and when the blankets
and blue uniforms came, they braced
up wonderfully and stood the strain
Of bareback and salt horse without
murlnur Then came the hard, stern
discipline Of regular army methods, and
in less than fortnight everyone had
adapted himself to the new condition
of affairs and it would nave been hard
for a casual observer TO have told the
difference between the Massachusetts
''reekies" and the seasoned regulars,
and none fought better than they did
on the battle line.
eBut if anybody should ask what the
best course of training would be pre-
paratory to entering the regular army
and particularly regiment that has
seen service, no better course could be
suggested than months training on
the Bowery just before election in Sill
yer Dollar Sulivan's district"

THEY'RE BROKERS.
Steamship Companies So Declared II They
Issue Foreign Drafts.

Deputy Collector Winslow yesterday
received the following revenue deci-
sions on the stamp tax law which are
of local interest. especially that relat-
ing to agents Of steamship companies
who are held to be brokers if engaged
in issuing foreign drafts.
An advancement made by parent
to his or her child should be taxed as
a legacy upon the death of the parent,
If the notes given for such advance
ment constitute part of the assets OF
the estate liable for the debts, in case
the estate should prove insolvent,
whether it actually prove so or not.
Therefore. If the notes given pass to
the executor as a part of the assets of
the estate, said amount is subject to
legacy tax.
Persons who are engaged as agents
for others in negotiating sales Of mort
cages on commission, are held to be
brokers within the meaning Of the sec
ond paragraph of section 2 of the act
of June 10, 1898.
The decision holding that the pro-
prietor Of a saloon who, to enhance his
trade, employs number of persons to
give regular concerts in his saloon, is
required to pay special tax therefor
under paragraph of section of the
act OF June ID, 1888, is not applicable
to the case of proprietor who mere
ly employs one person to play on a
piano in his saloon or who has only a
music box or an orchestration
Piano playing by one person or music
furnished by an orchestration or music
box. does not constitute concert in
the usual definition of the word con
cert; nor, in the opinion of this office,
does it constitute an exhibition or
show within the meaning of the second
section of the war revenue act.
The agents Of the Cunard line and
White Star line of steamers are fur
nished, by the principal agent of each
company, with a book of drafts in
blank with coupons or stubs attached;
the agents sell the drafts, accounting
for the same to the principals for the
moneys collected, and the companies
make no charge for commissions or for
exchange on the drafts sold, but exact
a commission from their clients for the
drafts sold. Each of these agents
thus engaged in the business Of nego-
tiating sales Of exchange and receiving
O. commission thereon, is a broker, and
must pay special tax accordingly.

plain the need of educated preachers,
teachers and mechanics If we would
hope for a better civilization in the
south" These opportunities are offered
in the institution which DR.. Webster
represents, as there men acclimated
and adapted best to reach the people
Of the southern mountain Businesses
are educated for their special work.
Mallalieu Seminary ana DR.. Webster's
plan Of making it self-supporting, have
the hearty Endorsement OF the clergy
and churches of all denominations. as
the work is undenominational conduct
ed on the same plan as Hampton and
Tuskegee.
At Plymouth Church in the evening,
DR.. Webster's theme was "Out Of all
things evil, God eduoes2 good, and out
of the greatest trials spring tho grand
est triumphs" He drew the analogy
between the lion which assailed Sam
son and the lions of the war, of disci-
pline and of death.
