Friends TO Meet.
The risks and dangers which fifty years
ago emigrants underwent Gu landing here are
not today, for now every boy and every girl
coming from ireland mas before him or her a
brother or a sister, a cousin or an intimate
friend, who meets and looks after the emil
grant. And this is a very necessary thing,
for the simplicity which prevails among very
many Of those who come from remote and
mountainous parts of Ireland is astonishing
and would render them an easy prey for the
sharper and the hCodlum. A friend told me
that an Irish girl in his employ Cnow smart
and clever, whom he engaged at Castle
Garden several years ago, would only con-
sent 10 descend the stairs, which were a
novelty to her, backward.
A priest who works in the Irish tenement
district related TO me an incident illustrative
of this simplicity, which occurred quite re

He had not troubled to keep the address OF
the friend to whom he was going, as he con
sidered his cousin, Phelim, should, Of course,
be as well known in New York as in his own
countryside. He started up one street and
down another, at every door inquirinG where
Phelim lived. The ignorance OF New Workers
tried Barney not a little, but the piercing
cold of a raw March day was still worse, for
he al length dropped upon the sidewalk close

tainly more cleanliness and more decency
might easily be observed in the service.
Out of the hearts Of these thousands of
poor emigrants poignant grief and reflection
are, as they near the American shores,
crowded by the JOY of anticipation.
America is to them not only a land OF
freedom, but a land Of prosperity and
wealth. and a land in which they will
be able to do for the loved ones at home
that which through all their youth in poor
ireland they had dreamed of; for all the
young boys and girls in Ireland look for
ward with high hope and bounding heart
to that day when they shall, in the land OF
the west. pluck the apples Of gold that
grew in the gardens of their dreams, and
revel in the joy Of lifting the load that
for years has bent to earth their toiling
fathers and s0rrowing mothers. For TO all
of these emigrants America is, and always
has been, the land Of golden hopes, They
cannot realize the disappointments, failures,
heart burnings, weary, weary toll and heart
breaking struggles that their kith AMI kin
who have gone before have had to endure
again and again in the promised land.
Through the years of their youth the one
great and constant ambition is TO secure
their passage ticket 10 America, and they
take no thought for the morrow that must
follow.
Struggles and Disappointments.
To one who considers the childish, joyous
optimism that inspires the Irish youth
whose eyes are bent on the states, and
having been here. realizes the circum-
stances and learns the trials and troubles
and the struggles that await his brethren

STREET RAILROAD STRIKE.


ST. Louis, May l2-The aspect OF
affairs in the great street railroad
strike yesterday showed a complete
reversal of the conditions prevailing
yesterday. The day opened quietly,
but as the hours sped by reports be-
gan to come in OF renewed rioting IN
various parts Of the city. In one in
stance the police fired into a crowd
and in Others used their clubs on
those who attempted to interfere
with the running Of cars. While ru-
mors of casualties were rampant dure
ing the day up to $3.50 O'Clock last
night none of serious nature had
been corroborated.

cars under an escort OF police. So

its branches and, Notwithstanding
the ample police protection afforded,

THE PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN.


Manila, May 12.--The islanders OF
Masbete received Col Hardin's expedi-
ton differently from those of Marin
duque, where he left one company Of
the Twenty-ninth regiment. On ap-
preaching the principal town, Pal
anoc, the insurgent trenches appeared
to be occupied and the gunboat Hell
ena bombarded them vigorously, aft
er which three companies were
landed and took the trenches with
little resistance. One Filipino was
killed, Two or three hundred insur-
gents hold the neighborhood towns
and the natives appear unfriendly.

was made quietly, with the result that
about 100 natives were arrested.
