Irish Worth.

Who casts slur on Irish worth, stair
OH Irish fame?
Who breads to own his Irish blood OF
wear his Irish name?
Who scorns the warmth Of Irish hearts
the clasp of Irish hands?
Let us but raise the veil tonight and
shame him as he stands.
The Irish fame! 1t rests ensl,rined with,
in its own proud light,
Wherever sword or tongue or pen has
fashioned deeds OF might;
From battle charge Of Fontenoy tc
Grattan's thunder tone
Il holds its storied past on high, I'M
rivalled and alone.
The Irish blood! Its crimson tide has
watered hill and plain,
Wherever there were wrongs to crush
or frccmcns rights to gain:
No bastard thought, no coward feal
has held it tamely by
When there were noble deeds to do O,
noble deaths to die!
The Irish heart! The Irish heart! Coo
keep it lair and free.
The fulness OF its kindly thought, its
wealth OF honest glec,
Its generous strength, its ardent faith
its accomplishing trust,
Though every worshipped idol breaks
and crunbles into dust
And Irish hands-ayc, lift them up; EN-
Drowned by honest toll.
The champion Of Our western world
! the guardians OF the soil;
Z When flashed their battle swords aloft
waiting world might see
What Irish hearts could do and dare tc
keep a nation free.
They bore our starry flag through bas,
ton, gate and wall,
They stood before the foremost rank
the bravest OF them all;
Aad when before the lannon's mouth
they held the foe at bay,
., never could old Ireland's heart beat
.prouder than that day.
So when a craven fain would hide the
birthmarll OF his race,
Or slightly speak OF Erin's sons before
her chldren's face,
Breathe no weak word of scorn OF
shame, bit sss. where he
stands
With Irish worth and Irish fame, as
won by Irish hands.

ANTRIM.

On Feb. 81 Ga most suspicious day
the anniversary OF the birth of George
Washington an inhuentially- signed re-
QUESTION was presented to the Lord
Mayor OF Belfast, requesting him to
call a public meeting OF the citizens OF
Belfast, in favor OF the establishment in
Ireland OF volunteer force, such as
that which has for many years been in
existence in England and Scotland. The
requisition has been signed by thirty
members OF the Belfast Corporation, in
Guiding several Nationalist. The early
calling OF public meeting is anticipat-
ed; and it will be interesting to note the
action in the matter OF the various par
ties in that section OF Ireland, which
ARMAGH.
was the cradle OF the volunteers in 1882.
A grand concert in aid OF the Ar
magl Cathedral Bazaar was given in
Mullaghbawn on Feb. IS, and the result,
whether from a financial or musical
point OF view. exceeded the expectations
81 the organizers. The attendance was
enormous, close on 1000 people being
present. The arrangements were under
the personal supervision OF Rev. Father
Mccartney, P. p, and Father Cara
CHER, c. c., who were congratulated on
gathering together the gal;.xy of talent
that rendered the concert such a mag
nificcnt success.
The death is announced on Feb. H.,
at his residence. Armagh, of John
Hughes. formerly proprietor OF the
Charlcmont Arms Hotel, aged So years

On Feb. IS, great meeting in sup
port OF the United Irish League was
held in Bantry. The demonstration was
announced for the previous Sunday, but
had to be postponed, owing to the great
snowstorm, which rendered the roads
practically impossible. The meeting
proved great success and showed in
IA unmistakeablc manner the desire OF

Jews FROM IRELAND
St. Patrick.

st. Patrick.
Our hearts go out to. Ireland,
The green isle OF the west;
The land of good St. Patrick,
Where chiefs and monarchs rest
Though we are far from her green
shores,
Our hearts will not grow cold,
While we march to Irish music
Meath the banners green and gold
So let us gather in our strength
To keep our Patrons Day.
Bedeckcd with badges green and gold
AS in years long passed away;
And let our spirits wander back
To the loved land of old,
While we march to Irish music
Meath the banners green and gold
We think OF poet, sage and king,
And chiefs OF war-like mould,
Who fought the battles of our land
With clansmen stout and bold;
And thus we dwell on Ireland's past
Her future yet unrolpd-
As we march to Irish music
Meath Our banners green and gold.
oh, Maid OF Erin, weep no more,
Thy darkest hour is past;
The stored sunburst on thy flag
Shall pierce thy night at last;
While yet thy sons in distant lands
To their old faith still hold,
And march to Irish music grand,
Meath the banners green and gold.

KANSAS CITY OPINION.
Ministers Express Themselves About
Sheldon Edition.

The following opinions about the
Sheldon edition are from Kansas City.
Mo. preachers:
The Rev. Stephen A Northrop, pastor
of the First Baptist church, said: Most
decidedly the first issue of the Topeka
Daily Capital is not a newspaper: A
little lad CT a neWSbOy struck the nail
on the head when he shouted: oh
Pud. what they maxim such a fuss over
this here papy; 1 amt sold a one the
hull aiternocn!' The editorials are
commonplace there is no discussion OF
current questions of the day ana 10
consideration of themes the public is
interested in. I can select a score Of
daily papers that excel by far in moral
izing on the live issues of the hour
Placing a prayer at the top of the
first column of the first page is out of
editorial taste. 1t ought to appear in
another part of the paper. People look
for news on the first page. Then, too,
it is a traveSty on prayer and a sac
rilige on the name of Jesus Christ.
What would Jesus dor and If Christ
Came to Chicago and books of that
sort have done much to bring the hal
lowed name of our Savior into public
contempt. In fact, those phrases are
now being blaSphemO used by street
Arabs and non-church-g -goers to the dis
honor of the Christian religion. The
clergy had better attend to their own
business and fight the forces of evil
from their strOnghOfds, where they can
striking sledge-hammer blows against
the world. the flesh and the devil.
am much disappointed in this first is
sue. May a kind Providence deliver
US from another. It will only afford the
press at large the delightful privilege
Of poking fun at the preacher, showing
up the weakness of pulpiteers in edi-
torial sanctumS."
The Rev H. D. Jenkins, pastor of
the Second Presbyterian church, was
pleased that the paper excluded obiec-
tionable advertisements, but Il think
Mr. Sheldon ought to have let himself
out little, he said, ''in the matter of
news and literary contributions. With
the immense resources the paper must
command this week, it would seem that
he might have had his leading articles
from the most eminent specialists in the
land I do not understand why the
market columns and general telegrapIlic
reports were so blue-penciled. A daily
paper must entertain and to this end a
wide range of topics is needed. The
spirit and tone of the paper ought TO
work revolution. 1 take a great many
periodicals and among them several
English papers,"
The Topeka state journal., 1900-03-14
SHELDON UNDECIDED.
Does Not Know What to Do About
Vice in Topeka.

At the conference between Mr. Shell
don and the newspaper correspondents
today. one of the latter told Mr.. Shell
don that there are 25 joints. or 3
gambling dens, and other places Of evil
resort running openly in Topeka, and
asked if he would print the names if
they were furnished him
Il will treat that in my own way
he said. Il have not decided just how
I will go about it, but I will take some
sort of action"
He intimated that he would inaugu-
rate a crusade against local evils in
Topeka, but has not decided whether
it will be in the newspaper, or whether
he will put it off and make the attack
from the pulpit or in the courts.
Mr.. Sheldon has not been publishing
the cards of the fraternal societies and
lodges, but when asked for the reason
he said they had been left out by his
order, but he was not prepared to say
why at present. He said. however, that
he believes in life insurance.
Are you a socialist" one cores
pondent asked.
You must let me use my own term" :"
he replied. If you say Christian So
cialist,' I am A Christian Socialist is
one who applies the teachings OF the
Sermon on fhe Mount to his daily life"
do you like editorial work."
Il do not see that is Of public con-
cern," was the reply.
Mr. Sheldon refused to say anything
about E. W. Howe's lay sermon pub
lished yesterday in the State Journal
stating that he had not read it.

some OPINIONS.
Topeka Ministers Talk About
the Sheldon Experiment.
Generally Pleased With Result
So Far.
TIME is TOO BRIEF.
DIR. Fisk Says 1t Can Not Prove
of Much Worth.
Hope Managers Will Look Be-
yOnd Counting Room.

The following expressions concerning
the Sheldon edition are from Topeka
minister's:
DR.. T. ]. Mcfarland of the First
Methodist church said: sI am well inn
pressed with the first number of the
Sheldon edition of the Capital. I was
not expecting anything marvellous, but
a natural, rational Christian newspa-
per. That he has given US. The feature
about that is noteworthy is the new
moral perspective of things which he
gives. Great things are put first, small
things are put in their place. The Cap
ital is not a cosmopolitan paper, and
Mr.. Sheldon wisely makes no attempt
to make it such, but taking it at its
level, seeks simply to make it Chris
tian.''
DR.. Fisk, pastor of the First Congre-
gational church. said: LAS an expert
ment along the lines Mr.. Sheldon is
moving the publication time allotted is
too brief to prove of much worth. The
chief value lies in the fact that the
movement has focused the worlds at
tention on a fact of Increasing i'm
portance, viz: The rising demand that
religion, ethics, high ideals and sO-caIl-
come applied righteousness worked out
in the concrete. The experiment is a
recognition and attempted application
of this principle. My hope is that own
ers and managers of great metropolitan
papers will be compelled to recognize
in this move that there is another side
to newspaperdom than the counting
room. The move against the rapacity
and greed of the trusts is one of the
best features.
But there is another side; when Mr.
Sheldons reign of a week is over who
must bear the violation of cancelled ad-
vertising contracts. The business office
can, perhaps, best answer that. It will
take them at least year, 1 should
judge, to square themselves"
Dr. John Gordon of the First Preshy-
terian church said: Il am pleased with
Mr.. Shel Ion paper 1t Will be ma:1iy
valuable in calling ttention to the sact
that there is an increasing demand for
a wholesome healthy family daily
newspaper. Proprietors Of cosmopoIi-
tan papers must recognize that scan
dals and sensational occurrences must
be subordinated to cleaner news items.
DR.. A. S. Embree said last evening;
I have been so busy today that have
not had time to read Mr.. Sheldon's ini-
tial number, therefore I cannot discuss
its contents or give out any impress
sion"

EXPECTATIONS.
London AnxiOusly Awaits News
From Roberts.
Early Occupation of BlOemfOn-
tein Looked For.

London. March IA, p. ma few
hours should bring important dis
patches from Lord Roberts. No word
has come from Bloemfontein today, al
though sharp fighting is believed to
have occurred since the commander in
chief was last heard from. London con-
fdently expects the occupation of the
Orange Free State capital will occur
today, as previously forecasted.
In the meanwhile attention turns to
Mafeking. That hamlet of the plains
can scarcely hold out much longer. The
news of Colonel Plummer's approach
has given substance to the rumors of
it's relief, but those best informed are
inclined to think the relief is more
likely to become accomplished by
Colonel Peakman's column from Kim
berley.
General Cronje, according to a Cape
Town special, sails for st. Helena
March 15, accompanied by all the Paar-
deberg prisoners.
Cecil Rhodes is suffering from catarTh
of the stomach and is unable to sail
for England.
ALLIANCE IMPOSSIBLE
London, March 14.-Regarding the
United States offer of mediation, the
Globe says:
"The incident is of interest only in the
light it throws on American politics.
Republicans and Democrats alike are
always prepared to risk the friendship
of England in the party game. we may
preserve amicable relations with the
United States and it Is TO be hoped we
always shall do so, but an alliance is
impossible. We were brought to the
verge of war four years ago for the sake
of Mr.. Cleveland's reelection, and a
pretext for a diplomatic quarrel will
never be wanting when the anti-English
elements of the republic have to be
conciliated.'
300 AGAINST 10000
Pretoria, Tuesday, March 13-Com-
mander De Larris report of the fight
at Abraham s Kraal, Saturday, says:
The British were estimated to num-
Der 10000 men. Their first assault was
repulsed. Only two Beers were wound
ed. The second assault was made on
the hill to the left of our position. These
hills were of great strategic Importance
Approaching this, 1 and 300 men de-
Tended the position from nine in the
morning until sundown. The burghers
fought like heroes and three times re-
pulsed masses of the British who kept
relieving their tired men. Every at
tempt to storm was defea ted. At sun
down there were not 80 yards between
US. The British lost heavily. No accur
ate returns of our loss are available.

COLD IS CROWNED
President Mckinley Signs the
Financial Bill.

Washington. March 14.-At IA min
utes to 1 o'clock this afternoon the pres
ident affixed his signature to the finan-
cial bill. thus making it a law of the
land. Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, who
had the bill in charge, arrived at the
White House about five minutes before
that time and was shown into the cab
met room, where he was Joined by the
president. who after inquiring if the
bill had been compared with care,
affixed his signature to it. At the same
time he recalled to those who stood oy
the fact that many of the important
financial bills which had been passed
by congress had been approved on the
14th of the month. He spoke of the
Sherman act, the resumption act. and
now the bill which was before him. In
signing the bill the president used a
new gold pen and holder which Mr..
Overstreet had brought with him for
the purpose.

IN A DEADLOCK.
Republican Senators Can Not
Agree on Porto Rican Bill.

Washington, March 14-The Repub1i-
can senators spent the early hours of
today's session of the senate discussing
among themselves plans for the contin-
uation of the caucus on the Porto Rican
bill called for this afternoon. While
majority still felt bound to observe the
secrecy imposed in yesterdays caucus,
most of them freely admitted that
deadlock with numerous shades of opin-
ion demanding recognition existed.
None would admit, however that there
was any serious doubt of reaching a
harmonious solution of the problem,
and most of them believed that result
would be reached at today's session of
the caucus.
There is an apparent increased dis
position to adopt the house revenue bill,
leaving the government questions pre-
sented in the senate measure to be
dealt with later 1t is asserted by those
who favor this course that a large ma
jority of the Republican members can
be brought to this view, but it is ad-
mitted that the minority is very per-
sistent in it's determination to oppose
this course in the interest of absolute
free trade.
Senator Foraker and others of the
Porto Rican committee, are still hold
ing to the senate bill.

Did Stakeholder of Capital Violate
Copyright?

The only paper so far as known which
has violated the copyright of the Howe
Lay Sermons is the Chicago Times
Herald, which according to a wire re-
ceived today published a half column
of the "lay sermons" These sermons
are protected by the American copy
right law. and at the beginning of each
one appears the words Copyright, 1900,
by E. W. Howe. Reproduction of amp
part of this article prohibited
Does Mr.. Sheldon approve this sort of
thing, particularly when it is under
stood that Mr.. A. c. Babize the CORE
spondent of the Chicago Times Herald,
is a stockholder in the paper (which Mr..
Sheldon is conducting this week. The
Times Herald is also a special pro-
moter of the Sheldon edition. If Mr.
Babize has simply published a story of
the sermons" without quoting from
Mr.. Howe, he is all right, otherwise he
is gravely at fault. The State Journal
withholds judgment for more definite
information and is inclined to believe
that Mr.. Babize told his paper that the
matter was copyrighted.

BEAR LIGHTS THE FUSE.

tied programme agreed upon is never
to be perfected The basis for this view
is the fact that up to this moment it is
not known officially that a single one of
the powers represented in the confer
ence has ratified the three conventions
prepared there. The treaties themselves
require that each of the participants
in the conference shall be notified
whenever the other parties ratify the
conventions. Up to this time no such
notifications have reached this couu-
try.
It is probable that appearances in
Washington of the newly appointed
Dutch minister, bringing with him the
official copies of the conventions may
result in further action by the United
States upon them.

Sheldon Edition Fails on Streets
Why They Were Not Sold on Trains.

boys with the Sheldon edition of the
Capital has not been such as to make
them enthusiastic about its merits.
A boy who had a bundle of Sheldon
papers under his arm was accosted this
morning with a question about his
sales
"Pshaw, it's no good.'' said he. 'I got
up early and only sold three copies. 1
am going to give it up. I won't try to
sell any more''
The experience of this boy is similar
to that of others. There is little de-
mand on the street for the paper.
The experience with news agents on
the trains was also unsuccessful.
On Monday a representative of the

Sheldon paper met the trains with an
unlimited supply of papers tied up in
packages of 100 each.
The news agents were informed that
they must take not less than 100 copies
at the uniform price of two and a half
cents per copy. They refused to take
without a supply of the Sheldon edi-
ton. State Journals were eagerly
sought for and all the news agents were
supplied whether they wanted one or
so copies
