IRISHMEN IN FRANCE.
Many Hibernian Names Are Historic
in Gallo Annals.
From Donlhoe'S.


The Irish soldiers at Fontenoy be-
queathed to their beloved France
names which became so many syno-
nyms for honor, and worth. and fidel-
ity. The Lallys and the Dillons have
ever since figured with the highest
nobility of the nation. We find more
than one Dillon raised to the diSlity
of an archbishop. Another Dillon, who
was married to cousin of the future
Empress Josephine, fought in America
with Lafayette, and later, during the
reign of terror in 1894, when he was
commander in chief of the French
Army of the North. perished on the
gullotine. Again, we find another
Irish descendant, Clarke, selected by
Napoleon as his minister of war, and
given the title of Duke of Feltre. We
find a Guillaume Meagher occupying
one of the most prominent posts in the
East Indian troubles.
Later still, in the early days of the
now spent century, we find an Able
Maccarthy. famous as a court preacher
of such extraordinary merit that an
eminent authority, NJ. Icard, for many
years the taciturn superior of the Sem
mary of St. Sulpice. declared him to
be head and shoulders above Lacord-
aire. We find a Macdonald, of High
land ancestry but of Irish brigade
schooling, the type of French honor"
as BOurrienne calls him, created II
marshal of France by the great en-
peror upon the battlefield at Wagram.
"The general opinion was" continued
the secretary Of Napoleon, that the
elevation of Macdonald added less to
the marshal's military reputation than
II redounded to the honor of the em-
peror." Just half a century after Wa
gram we find a MacMahon winning the
battle of Magenta, receiving in recon-
pense the honor of dukedom, and
destined later on to I'LL the highest
magistracy in the gift of the French
republic.

Elias Palmer Arrested.

Lieutenant Day continues his raids
on disorderly houses and speakeasies.
Last Friday Policeman Perry got wind
of a speakeasy on the corner of Wayne
avenue and Putnam street. He re-
ported it to Lieutenant Day, who i'm
mediately went to the place, and found
that it was run by Elias Palmer, a
cripple. He also found several cases
of beer and two large casks of whiskey.
Palmer was taken before Magistrate
Fider, where he pleaded guilty and
also pleaded poverty.
The magistrate was very lenient with
Palmer, as it was his first offense, and
fined him SIS, which he paid and was
released.

reasonable bonus. Please show this
TO your business men and let US see
