There's legend handed down in
Ireland anent the birthday of the
patron saint, says the Philadelphia
Times. 1t has been told in fugitive
verse, of more or less humorous
cast, how opposing factions warred
over the date on which ST. Patrick
first saw the light, one party de-
claring in favor Of March 8 and the
other as resolutely defending the
9th. Through the pacific Offices of
good priest it was agreed by the
clans to unite forces, and, joining the
contentious 9Th and 9th, make the
date Of celebration the 18th. That's
tradition, and,Hibernians will &C
cept it with characteristic spirit, so
that March TT is a great day for all
true-hearted sons of Erin. If for
no other reason, therefore, King
Edward VII can at least claim pre-
cedent for seeking to alter the date
of his birthday, or more properly of
its observance. AS Prince of Wales
the present monarch was wont to
celebrate Nov. 9, while his SOW
ereign mother received the homage
of her people on May 20, in com
memoration of her birth. The latter
date is also known as "Empire
Day" in honor of her late Majesty,
and her son is reported to contem.
plate the celebration of Victoria's
natal anniversary as his own. This
will be filial tribute to his mother,
and at the same time give the
English people the continued op-
portunity to hurrah for the empire
on set date. But to do this Ed
ward will have to wipe the Novem-
Der date off his birthday calendar

Beautiful Words :

Col. A. K. Mcclure, the veteran
Philadelphia Journalist, was ten
dered banquet by the Glover
Club. in commemoration of his re-
tirement from active newspaper
work, and on that happy occasion
Col. Mcclure closed a speech in the
following beautiful words:
Friends, I pity the man who
does not welcome .the gathering of
the shadows which lie beyond the
patriarchal years. The life that
has fulfilled q reasonable measure
of its duties; enjoyed its sunshine
and mourned its misfortunes; TEN
pered it's shadows and welcomed its
blessings, finds ample compensation
in every 1eeting stage from the
fevered hopes of youth to the mel
lowed ripeness of age; and its paling
twilight should come as sweet in
cense to all who have traversed the
brief and fitful journey from the
perishable to the imperishable life
that is our common destiny. 1t is
within the power Of all, from the
greatest to the humblest, to teach
that life is worth the living, and
your generous testimony Of tonight
will ever be as beautiful and fra
grant flowers along my pathway IN
til memory is chilled into forgetful-
ness by the inexorable messenger
who summons US to the darkness
which breaks in the better life be-
yond."

n special from Washington, ID.
c., dated May "a, to the Times
Democrat says:
The centre OF activity in oil prospecting
In Louisiana at the present time" said
Office to The s.Democrat correspondent
to-day, els at Vinton, La. The indications
there are of a very favorable character and
! would not be surprised to hear of quite
hattering discoveries.'
Mr.. Hill, who has just returned from
Beaumont, was trying to straigh,en out his
papers preparatory to submitting report
of his trip to his superior. and for this rea-
son had but little time to speak of Oil and
oil discoveries in the Southwest.
tsThe quantity of Oil stored away in the
coastal plains of the Southwest" said Mr..
Hill, sis something that no man can esti-
mate. but sufficient is known to warrant the
prediction that at no distant day that Sec
ton of the country will yield more oil than
is now produced by all the oil-producing
countries of the world. 1t is true that this
Oil is chiefly fuel oil, but by treatment a
large percentage of it can be converted into
illuminating oil. 1t will give an impetus to
manufacturing in New Orleans and in tina,
part of the country that the most sanguine
cannot now conceive, and it will for all time
solve the problem of fuel which has oper-
ated SO greatly in the past in developing the
industrial conditions of that section. 1t is
my belief that oil will be found all along
the coastal plains of the Gulf of Mexico, In
Guiding the Mississippi Sound. All that
belt of the country along the Mississippi
Sound, east of New Orleans, extending as
far as Mobile, being of a sandy character,
should contain oil, though it is possible that
sgushers' such have been found at Beau
mont will be few and far between. Oil will
be found, however, and it will be found in
paying quantities. The same statement will
apply 10 Southwestern Louisiana, from New
Orleans west, where the surface indications
are all similar to those that obtain in South
eastern Texas. Oil will in my opinion, be
found as far west as Tampico, Mexico. The
greatest activity to-day in the Beaumont oil
fields seems to be confined to what is
known as Spindle Top HILL about, one
mile in area. The oil prospectors are de-
voting most of their attention to this little
patch of land, though all the land bordering
on the coast, and most of it within a radius
of miles and miles from the storm centre it
self, has already been acquired options
upon 1t have been secured by the oil syndi-
Gates. The fear of finding sdusters,' no
oil, in these newly-acquired fields, has made
prospectors timid, but when the first flush of
the excitement has subsidized and intelligent
management and professional skill unite in
developing these fields, the results will be
both gratifying and profitable.
Mr.. Hill brought back with him some
splendid specimens of gold nuggets, which
he had obtained in Mexico during his
sojourn there. Gold mining there, in his
opinion, most promising field.

Several members Of the descend

share in the proceeds OF the Con
.gressional appropriation for the re-
endorsement of those Indians by
reason Of the treaty Of Buffalo Greek
in 1888, have called at The GAZETTE.
office during the past week with the
view Of correcting some Of the state
ments published in the last.issue Of
this paper.
None of those who called are sure
Of the amount of appropriation. but.
none Of them place it at less than
SO, OOO, 600, or $6,OO0,00O more than.
was stated last week. They claim
that the land set apart for them IN
Kansas, at the Buffalo Greek treaty.
and Afterwards disposed Of by the
government without warrant from
the various tribes Of New 4 ork In,
5dians represented at the treaty, was.
an unusually large area and at the
time that the appropr Was
made it was recognized as the most
valuable land in the SunfioWer State
and hence the award of the Court Of
CLAIMS muat have been in harmony
with the acreage and Y aluafion.
These descendants also contend
that there are not over LOG, 600 memz
.bers ofthe various tribes mentioned
in the circular sent8out by the COM
missioner Of Indian affairs. Intact,
they are quite certain that there is
a lesser humble than that which
they fix as the maxim na, and which
lis. about 40O, 900 less than the figure
given iii The Gazette last week, a
figure given by gen leman who
has some knowledge Of Indian
affairs. 1.-THE number give by the
Red wood descend Of the Stock
bridge band is correct, and If the.
appropriation IS as large as they an
ticipate they will receive II the
neigh borhood Of 5000 each, q very
neat sum, and one that will be
thankfully received by all Of the
membe Of the band residing ia
and around Red wood Falls.
In view Of the previous relations
of George 8. Evans with the Indian
department, the commits sioner Of In
dian affairs has written the latter a
letter to the effect that he would
allow the claimants to the fund, re-
siding ia and around this city to
make proofs OF their claims before
him, and the latter send the proofs
to the Interior dep artmen mt for aps
sprova This is great accommo-
4dation to the local claimants
