sit surely makes me laugh, this talk
I see in the English papers, and in
yours, too" said Mr.. W. O.Leary, Of
Limerick, reports the Washington
Post. Its England supplies the
world. and America supplies what
England has not got England is wor-
ried over American competition Eng
fish brewers are buying up American
brewerics to save themselves from
American competition England, the
great shipbuilding nation Don't you
know that Ireland has bigger brew
cry than all England? Don't you know
that the shipbuilders of Ireland can
buy and sell the shipbuilders of Eng
land and Scotland? Don't you know
that the 'canny Scot who is supposed
by American journalists to like his
own harsh liquor, patronizes Irish
products in preference to his own?
'Ireland has the largest brewing and
shipbuilding concerns in the world.
Ireland supplies half the British en-
pire with handkerchiefs, collars. table
cloths and shirts and puts on British
tables the choicest breakfast bacon
and butter. The English usually con-
ceal the identity of the two last named
under the brand of Wiltshire and
Dorset but it is Irish and the treas
ury officials can testify to it. Neither
the Tyne nor the Clyde nor the Mersey
show anything equal to the shipbuila-
ing concern of Harland & Wolff at Bel
fast. Yet there is nothing the English
and Scots are so proud of as their ship
building. For years this firm has held
the highest place III the world so far
as tonnage launched is concerned.
The yards employ 5000 men and sup
port a good-sized town. The works
cover so acres, and the Teutonic and
Majestic, two of the most famous
ocean greyhounds, were butt there.
It's a byword in the British navy that
no breakdown of machinery, thing
so frequent, has ever occurred in any
British naval vessel built in the Belfast
yards.
"Nothing shodly ever comes from
Ireland. That is why the balbriggan
is initiated by British and German
manufacturers. Guinness. of Ireland,
owns the largest brewery in existence.
Their products pay Il half million
pounds excise every year. There are
$4,000 British brcwcrics, but Guinness
produces one out of every 90 barrels
of beer credited annually to Great
Britain. 1t is a funny thing, and bad
thing for America, as we'll as Ireland,
that many native merchants sell the
poorer grades of American butter as
'Irish,' and pure Irish butter is sold
as Dorset or Danish Scotland-the
canny Scots, who like none but their
own liquor-tlrink 100000 gallons of
Irish whisky every year. Look up the
statistics, my boy, and you will see
that l have moderated the amounts
that Ireland gives to England annual
ly, not only for her consumption, but
in most cases for the purpose of re-
ceiving an English brand before sale"

KING OSCAR A GOOD FELLOW.
How the Popular Swedish Ruler
GOOd-Nnturclly Helped a News
paper Man.

Like all other European royalties,
King Oscar of Sweden is frequently
called upon to appear in public in
connection with the inauguration of
public enterprises, the laying of
foundation stones, etc. On all such oc-
casions these notable pcrsonages are
expected to and generally do deliver
speeches. These addresses in most
cases are prepared by private secre-
tarics, but King Oscars speeches are
nearly always impromptu, says a
London exchange. Some time ago he
was passing through Gothenburg on
his way to inaugurate new railway.
At the station he was accosted by a
newspaper man who had been sent to
the Inauguration as reporter to some
big Danish paper. The journalist
wanted copy of the speech to tele-
graph to his paper because he had no
speech was to appear in his paper the
next morning. So he asked the king
to give him copy of the speech which
had been prepared for him. His majes-
ty laughingly replied that his remarks
would be impromptu, at which the re-
porter betrayed considerable alarm,
because under these circumstances it
would be impossible for his paper to
get the speech. Seeing the newspaper
mans perturbation the king said:
ooh, we'll, come into my carriage
and I will give you an idea of what
am going to say"
No second invitation was needed.
The two men entered the carriage and
as it rolled toward the depot King Os-
car dictated speech, which the re-
porter shorthanded. AS delivered at
the exercises the address was almost
word for word duplicate of that
given in the carriage.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENTS LINCOLN AND GARFIELD.

This was the second presidential as
sass:nation to be spread on the pages
of American history. That morning
President Garfield, accompanied by
Secretary of State Blaine, had gone to
the Baltimore & Ohio depot in WASH
ington to take train to Williams coll
lege, Ohio. 1t was his old college and
he was to be the guest of honor at the
commencement exercises. He was in
unusually happy mood and chatted
gayly with Mr.. Blaine. They entered
the station waiting-room together. AS
they passed the door Charles J. Gui-
teau, the assassin, stepped up behind
Mr.. Garfield and shot him. The presi-
dent sank to the floor. officers seized
G,,iteau, and the dread news was
flashed to all parts of the country.
AS soon as possible the president was
removed to the white house. and later,
by advice of his physicians, was re-
moved to cottage at Elberon. y. j.,
where he died September 10, 1851. Dur
ing the period between his shooting
anl death he suffered terrible agonies.
One bullet had lodged close to the
spine and the best medical attendance
could not locate it.
The entire country lived with him
during his hours of agony and mourned
when he passed away. He was man
of superb constitution and his battle
for recovery is one of the saddest
stories to be recorded. Guiteau was
blind partisan whose mind had been
worked upon by the stories of the BIT
ter political fight then raging between
the president and Senators Conkling
and Platt. of New York. The man had
been crank all his life, monomaniac,
and had gone deliberately to WASH
ington to kill the president. believing
that by so doing he would save the
country and advance himself.

Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 7.-Whiie
President Mckinley was receiving in
the Temple of Music Friday after
noon he was approached by a man
with a dark mustache and with one
hand covered with handkerchief.
AS the man extended his hand to the
president, apparently with the inten-
ton of SHAKING hands with him, he
fired shot which entered the pres
ident's right breast, lodging against
the breast bone. Another shot was
fla at once, which entered the pres
ident's abdomen. The assailant was
immediately arrested and was thrown
to the ground and quick as flash %
men were upon him. When rescued
he was covered with blood from a

were heard in every direction, but the
police managed to get the man out

on the lookout and whose duty it
was to guar. against just such ca
lamity as had here befallen the presi-
dent and the nation. The third was
a bystander, negro who had only
an instant previously grasped in his
dusky palm the hand OF the presi-
dent. AS one man they hurled them
selves upon the presidents assailant.
In a twinkling he was borne to the
ground, his weapon was wrested
from his grasp and strong arms pin
toned him down.
Coolness Of the President.
But of the multitude which wit
messed or bore a part in the scene of
turmoil and turbulence there was but
one mind which seemed to retain it's
equilibrium, one hand which remained
steady, one eye which gaZed with UNI
finching calmness and one voice which
retained its even tenor and faltered
not a the most critical jnncture. They
were the mind and hand and the eye
and the voice of President Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assassin's
shot he rctreated step; then, as the
detectives leaped upon his assailant,
he turned. walked steadily to chair
and seated himself. at the same time
removing his hat and bowling his head
in his hands.
Urged All to Bc Calm.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurricdly
opened, the president meanwhile adj
monishing those about him to remain
calm and telling them not to be
alarmed.
"Hut you are wounded" cried his
secretary; "let me examine"

Nevertheless his outer garments
were hastily loosened. and when

to wind its way down his breast,
spreading its tclltalc stain over the
white surface of the linen, their worst
fears were confirmed.

Two presidents of the United States
Abraham Lincoln and James \. Car
fe1d-have fallen before the assassin's
bullet prior to the crime Of Friday. An
attempt was made to assassinate An
drew Jackson, but was thwarted.
President Mckin,ey's life has been
threatened twice before this last
event.
y The Murder of Lincoln
The murder of President Lincoln
came at the close of the costly and
bloody civil war; at a moment when all
the man from Illinois had struggled for
seemed about to be realized; in an hour
when the triumph of the republic
seemed the greatest. The assassin was
John Wilkes Booth, an actor, a brother
OF the afterward famous tragedian,
Edwin Booth, and a hropist of
the most pronounced type.
Almost at the moment that Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated Lewis
Payne Powell, son of a Florida clergy
man, broke into the residence Of Sec
retary Seward. where the latter was
living ill, and whom he stabbed in sew
eral places. He also fractured the
skull of Mr.. Stewards son. stabbed a
soldier on duty and two other persons
and made his escape.
Booth was shot by his pursuers and
Payne was hanged.
Shooting of Garfield.
On the I'd of July, 1881. all over the
United States. at 9:3s in the morning,
the telegraph instruments suddenly
opened with the Washington call. OPP
orators who wondered at the sudden
interruption sprang to their keys and
listened to the slow delivery of this
message:
president Garfield was shot this
morning at the Baltimore and Ohio de-
pSt by Charles Guiteau."

Fires the Shots.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of genialty the American people so
well know. when suddenly the sharp
crack of revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices. the
shutting of myriad feet and vibrat-
ing waves of applause that ever and
anon swept here and there over the
assemblage.
There was an instant of almost
complete silence. The president
stood stock still. look of hesitancy,
almost of bewilderment on his face.
Then he retreated q step, while a
pallor began to steal over his fea-
lures. The multitude, only partially
aware that something serious had
happened, paused in surprise while
necks were craned and all eyes
turned as one to the rostrum where

He denies having any confederate,
and says he decided on the act three
days ago, and bought the revolver

Buffalo.
In Cheerful Mood.
The president was in cheerful
mood, and was enjoying to the full
the hearty evidences of good will
which everywhere met his gaze. Up
on his right stood John G. Milburn,
of Buffalo, president of the Pam
American exposition, chatting with
the president and introducing to him
especially persons of note who APP
