FROM IRELAND


The Pauper's Deathbed.
Tread softly; bow the head
In reverent silence bow!
No passing bell doth toll;
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger, however great,
With lowly reverence bow!
There's one in that poor she'd
One by that paltry bed
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggar's roof,
Lo! Death doth keep his state!
Enter! No crowds attend
Enter! No guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement, damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands,
Lifting with meager hands
A dying head.
No mingling voices sound
An infant wall alone;
A sob suppressed-again
That short deep gasp-and then
The parting groan.
Oh! change-oh! wondrous change!
Burst are thy prison-bars!
This moment there, so low,
So agonized-and now
Beyond the stars!
Oh! change-stupendous change!
There lies the soulless clOd!
The sun eternal breaks;
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.

LOUTH.
The death on May Dist Of Luke j.
Healy, of West street Drogheda, is an
nounced. He was a man comparative
ly young, and one who led an active
and industrious life, and few years
ago seemed destined to be spared for
many years more to his family. How
ever, Providence decreed otherwise,
and to his friends it became apparent
during the last few months that his
days were practically numbered, and
that fatal disease had seized upon
his vigorous frame. He passed away,
surrounded by the sorrowing members
of his family. His funeral took place
on the 23d, from st. Peters church,
and after the sacred ceremonies the re-
mains were removed from the church
for intarment in st. Peters cemetery.
The funeral was extremely large and
was taken part in by every class of
the community, who had come to do
honor to the deceased.

The preparation Of the verdict of the
sehley Court Of Enquiry is proceeding
with the utmost precautions against the
possibility Of its contents becoming pub

retary OF the Navy. The recent prema-

Commissions report has led to the most
extraordinary care being exercised by the
three admirals composing the Schley

Only one copy is being prepared. and to
this the signatures Of the three members
Of the court viii be attached. after which
the document will be delivered imme-
diately to the Secretary Of the Navy by
the admirals in person.
So careful are the admiTals that no ink

the public in advance OF its presentation

homes with their wives Admiral Dew

The discovery OF defects in the ma

reported to the Navy Department yes
terday from New Orleans. where the ves-
sci had gene to participate in the testing
Of the new floating steel drydock lately
located at Algiers, La. Following the
usual custom in such cases. a board Of
naval engineers will be assigned by the
Department to examine the ship and re-
port on the mate Of the defects and the
extent of the daH ge.
The officials Of the Navy Department
deny absolutely that the machinery OF the

Kcrnnn,--Iruin,s Big show.

Kernan's Lyceum has as an attraction
this week Fred Irwin's company Of bur
lesquers. and at each performance yester-
day the audience WAS very large. Mr.. 1r-
win offers a number OF new faces this
season and the performance is one that is
even better than those OF the past and the
Irwin shows have always been ccnsiG-
cred unusually good. The olio is larger
than that OF the ordinary travelling bur
Iesque show and includes several unusu-
ally clever acts.
The burlesque is called Are You an
Eagle" and shows the full strength OF the
company It is really funny and there are
a number of good songs introduced. Billy
Watson and VIII O'Dell furnish the ma
jor portion of the fun. while Marie Bar
rison. one of the several sisters of that
name. appears to advantage. physically
and vocally.
In the olio the headline feature is the
Livingston family. the well-known Euro
pean acrobats whose gymnastic feats have
always been startling. Billy Watson and
John Vincent appear in ten minutes OF
fun and the Century Comedy Four are
heard IN one of the best singing acts on
the road Others in the oliO are O'Deu
and Whiting. Dolly JardOn, and Burman
and Van. "'L'Argeutina, the dancer is

strong one. too series Of living pic

and the comedy situations are neither
particularly novel nor startling In the
lines. however. Mr.. Ranken has sprinkled
a number OF pretty hpulps that provoke
laughter. Some OF the music Of Mr. Wit
mark is very pleasing. and there are sew
eral songs that wilR, asHuIedIy become
very popular. The gem-of the lot is a

Dieby Bell. erstwhile comic opera come

the leading member of the company. Mr.
Bell is somewhat in the nature of dis
appointment. He is mechanical in his
methods to provoke laughter. and he has
apparently never recovered from his dip

Marie Cahill. whose delicious burlesquc
work has never failed to please Washing

abilities, but she proves in what she did
last night that she has not deteriorated
in the least. There is probably no better
actress in her line on the native stage.
Louise Cunning. who will be remembered
as the singer Of Scotch ballads on the
vaudeville stage. is heard TO advantage
in at least one song. Joseph C. Miron. the
buffo- basso comedian. has probably the
most cOngenial part in the piece. His re-

rendered songs. and he displays his un-
usual talents as a comedian to the s-eat

presented at the Columbia Theatre last
evening and was greeted by an audience
that completely filled the playhouse. 1t
pleased fully as we'll as any performance
OF the kind that has appeared here this
season. Several times during the enter

and the encores were numerous.
The company presenting The Chaper-

comedy performers of the native stage,
and is unusually strong in principals.
while the chorus is large and not only
pleasing in appearance, but meritorious
yocally.

of the clanking OF swords and the bang
