this fire reached ST. Patrick on one OF
the hills near Micho's castle, where he
had eamped for the night.
From here st. Patrick turned with a
brilliant idea in view The court of King
Laeghaire, son of the old king. who had
taken st. Patrick a captive into Ireland,
was about TO celebrate the festival Of
the FEES of Tara. There all the priests
and dignitaries gathered to celebrate in
their idolatrous fashion. st. Patrick de-
termined TO strike a blow at the very
root of their religion.
How He Outdid the Druids.
When he approached the vicinity of the
palace, st. Patrick lighted a fire to camp
for the night. This was a grave offense
for no fires We're allowed until the sacri-
fetal fire of the following morning was
ignited, The king saw the rebel
nous blaze and sent to find ont
who had kindled it, ST. Patrick was
discovered sitting at his tireside on the
pain IN company with few followers
The king, who knew well with whom he
had to deal ordered ST. Patrick to be
brought TO the idolatrous celebration to pit
MS supernatural powers against those of
the court magicians aud high priests AT
daylight therefore, behold the Druidical
high priest and St Patrick arrayed
against each other, King Laeghaire, court
and people looking on expectantly.
The Druids had first inning Their mira

to the depth of several feet, but couldn' /
set rid of it. They caused darkness to
cover the land. but when they called for
light IL declined to come So they had
% suffer the ignominy of accepting the as
sistance OF St. Patrick. who caused snow
and darkness to disaDDear
Another test between st. Patrick and
a Druid priest resulted fatally for the
latter. 1t is recorded that by agreement
st. Patrick placed himself on pile of
dry wood and the Druid placed himself on
q pile of green wood in order TO see whose
god would protect HIM from fire. Tno
Druid, the legend goes, was burned 10
death; st. Patrick was unharmed.
At this of course, King LaeghaIre was
greatly angered and sought st. Patrick 5
death. But poison, soldiers and ali the
other forces the king employed had no
effect
For nearly sixty years st. Patrick con-
tinued as a missionary In Ireland. When
first he went there he found 100000 idoi-
ators; when he left there is said not to
have been one on the island Historical
record does not mention his driving out
of serpents, and perhaps that part of his
service. is imaginary, On the nth Of
March, 49S, he died at the age OF 100 years.

BANKER CLEwS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.

WAAA StECCNs
New York March 1e.-The past week
has shown little change In the general as-
poets of the Wall Street markets. lnere
has been a Sight decline in the volume
of transactions on the Stock Exchange,
though the sales have been more than
double those of year ago; and the tone
of business remains buoyant and on the
whole has favored the ''bul.' side, while
the bears are still cautiously reposins
in the shade, conscious that their oppor-
tunity has not yet arrived.
There is class of operations (rather nu4
merous), who seem almost unconscious
of the extent to which Wall street con.
ditions have recently become abnormal.
1t hardly strikes them as somewhat
startling fact that, within the first ten
weeks Of the current year, the sales OF
stocks at the exchange have amounted to
$500 900 shares compared with 70, 900
shares for the same weeks of 1900; while
the transactions in bonds have reached
$232 100000 against $lO6 900 a year ago.
This enormous expansion of transactions
has occurred on a scale of prices 80 to
IS points above the previous normal of
NdlueS. 80 STEADY mas the market De-
come on this immensely advanced scale
of prices that many uninitiated operators
take all this as a matter of course, as
sumo that the initiation has come to stay,
cling to their holdings and employ their
profits for additional purchases at still
rising prices. | do not say that this gorg-
ing process may not be carried 10 still
greater lengths without precipitating im-
mediate disaster; for there is no saying
into what exeesses the present sanguina
spirit among unframed spectators may
not run. and the amount of profits to the
credit of this class of operators must ar.
ford them considerable fund for their
protection. Also, it is to be conceded SO
far as respects railroad investments. that
for some years past the finances of those
corporations have been improving 10 an
extent which had not been fuzzy reflected
in the average scale of market values; so
that we may reasonably calculate upon a
portion of the late great rise in prices be-
ing permanently retained. But it should
never be forgotten by the novitiates that
the professional operator has a keen and
true eye for the danger-line and usually
locates it at the point where the outsider
is most sanguine. 1t may be taken for
granted that, from this time forward,
every further advance brings the situa ton
so much nearer the eliminating point, and
that both reckless and pyramid buying
will sooner or later precipitate reaction.

McNALLY on PARADE.

AT CaSey'S Dar, the night before 81.
Patrick's big parade.
The gang convened for there were
some arrangements to be made;
O'Houihan, ali chairman, to each mem
Der did assign
The place he was to occupy while
marching in the line.
O'Houihan arranged 1t so the chosen few
could ride;
The patriots, he said, would march to-
gether, side by slde
And when Mentally rose, and made OBJ
jections to the plan,
he was Informed that he was not "a
loyal Irishman.
The stormy scene that followed brought
the coppers 10 the place;
McNally struck The Chairman several
punches in the face:
And when the fight was over he con
tinued still to talk,
Declaring he would be in line and that
he wouldn't walk.
st. Patrick's morn, at nine O'Clock, be-
fore Hibernians Hall,
The great parade was formed a thou
sand Irishmen In all;
o. Houlihan, upon a milk white charger,
leu the line,
And proudly gave command to move the
moment after nine.
The sturdy sons Of Erin proudly started
down the street,
Amid the blare of many bands and tramp
of many feet,
But, ere they'd moved a block, there
bounded from an alley-way.
spectacle that made them pause. a
moment, in dismay:
They saw shriveled Irishman, with hair
of flaming red.
Who wore suit of gaudy green, a tur-
ban on his head
And on card, upon his back, that coy
cred half his coat.
They read: "McNally leads the line nj,
Claney's billy goat"
The goat was decorated with the colors
Of the day,
And seemed to quite enjoy the part he
took IN the display
McNally rode some fifty yards before
O'Houlihan,
Then slowly turned about and faced that
irate Irishman.
o'Houlihan was furious; he ordered
MUCK 8 arrest,
But not a single copper would comply
with his request;
The men in line impatient grew. thew
dragged him from his steed
And left him, while they marched awav--
McNally in the lead.
They followed Mack thro' all the town
through all its thoroughfares,
Ana everywhere they went the peonIe
greeted them with cheers;
MeNaiiy' on the billy goat in manner
dignifed,
Acknowledged the applause and gravely
bowed from side to side.
AL dark, McNally corralled them at Ca

who they are;

all were served with lunch,
And every man he authorized 10 drink

They hunted UP OHoulihan and forced
him TO resign,
And ere they parted for the night q res.

lead them on parade.
And SO Il is that every year, upon 81.

NO SETTLEMENT REACHED
As to the Future Relations RetweeH
Cuba and the United States

Havana, February 20.-The special
committee appointed by the Cuban
constitutional convention to draw up
a proposition defining the future rela-
tions between the United States ana
the republic Of Cuba continued In Sc
cret conference with the other mem
bers of the convention all day. 10
settlement was reached. 1t is under
stood that a majority favor leaving
the question open until the signing Of
the constitution. which is now being
engrossed. The committee is expect
Ing Governor General Wood TO send
an official letter setting forth what he
considers the relations should be. 80
that the convention may act with
better understanding of the desires Of
the United States. 1t is argued that
even IL the convention should agree 70
such definition of relations as was
outlined by General Wood last week
1t is not officially known whether the
United States would approve.
General Wood says he told the spe-
cial committee to inform the eonyeu-=
tion that he represented the poi cy or
the executive department at Washing
ton and that he could not say how con-
gress would act in the matter Any
communication which he may ADDRESS
to the committee will be on these lines.
There is a possibility of delay growing
out of the view the special committee
takes as to the Importance of an off,
c-al communication from Washington
regarding the wishes Of the United
States. 1t was intimated this aftes-
noon that the convention might ap-
point the special committee as a COM
mission to go to Washington with the
constitution and to settle the whole
question before congress.
The convention is practically unaEi-
nous against naval stations at Hava-
ma. Cienfuegos or Santiago. Some Of
the delegates say they will readily
grant the request IL the stations are
located, say, one on the Isle Of Pineg
and the other on smaller islands
