Div. No. ], A. 0. H.. of this city,
met last Sunday afternoon in Catholic
Association hall. 1t was we'll attended
and Il few of the members favored the
meeting with few interesting re-
marks. At the Sunday meeting in
March, Augustine Murphy will give a
description of "The Passion Play"
which he had the good fortune to wit
ness produced at Oberammergau last
summer. He is the only member of
the Hibernians in this city who has
seen this sublime drama and will, no
doubt, give an interesting talk on it.
A number Of the Hibernians and
their friends are planning to go to St.
Paul to take part in the celebration of
st. Patrick's day in that city. From
all accounts it will be a gala day in
the Sanity city for 'the wearing of the
green.'
William Vail is around again after a

the popular novelist's "Nation" article
on National Literature and Mr.. Lev
err" as well as an ironical contribution
"On the Rights of Women" In this
article Carleton said: "But women to
speak in public! exclaim the thirteen
millions of masters: Why those who
distinguish themselves so signally in
private life, who shine with equal
force and brilliancy in the drawing
room, the kitchen and the nursery,
should fail upon larger stage is to
me inconceivable."
The curios include the first numbers
Of Irish newspapers that have long
since become historic-the Nation, the
Tribune, the Irish People (not Mr.. VIM.
O'Brien's organ), and the Irish Nation
(Ncw York;. There are also the docu-
ments relating to the Tenant League
and the Tenant Right movement of
1850; the papers dealing with the es-
| tablishment of an Irish press associa-
tion in the year after Queen Victoria
ascended the throne, and, perhaps the
most valuable of the lot, the prompt
er's copy of play to be performed in
Richmond Irison during O'Connells
incarceration there.
Of the rare Irish books that make up
a lengthy list, there are among others,
'"The Act of Settlement of 1864" pub
lished in 17O1; ''The Battle Of Au-
ghrim," a tragedy i'll verse, published
in 1885; "Baratarians," being the early
writings Of Hond and Grattan, pub
lished in 1913; History Of Drog-
heda," which belonged to Davis and
containing his notes and marks, with
his autograph on the title page; Thom-
us FitZpatrck's "Plan Of an Irish Par
lament QS43); Thomas Drummond's S
Report on the Most Convenient Dis
tribution of Railways in Ireland
uS3S).
There are ALSO several reports print
ed for the use of the government of
the state trials in 1913, and a brief of
Robert Holmes in the trial of Sir
Charles Gavan Duffy for trcason-fel-
ony in the same year.

RARE IRISH BOOKS.
Charles Gavan Duffy's Gift to the Royal
Irish Academy.

Irish Academy.
Sir Charles Gavan Duffy has pre-
scntcd to the Royal Irish Academy his
lifelong collection of rare books, MSS.
and curios.
First in point Of Importance is a
large volume entitled illustrations Of
Irish History" III which all the Irish
events Of note from the time of Grat-
tan down to the present day are shown
in pictorial form, leading men, historic
al scenes and current caricatrrcs being
depicted in rare steel and wood en-
cravings. The illustrations, which
exceed two hundred and fifty, include
portraits of the leaders of the '9S
movement, passing then through the
OConncll era, and the days of the Re-
peal movement and thence to the ca
reers Of the Young Ireland. Isaac
Butts home rule movement and the
more modern efforts in the same direc-
! ton by Parnell.
Little less interesting is Il book Of
autographs in which are contained let
ters or autographs from over one hun
drcd and fifty famous Irishmen for the
last sixty years among the number be-
ing Clarence Mangan, including his
biography, and the autobiography Of
Thomas Francis Mcagher, the latter OF
which is described as being curlously
frank self-criticism and self-praisc. 1t
also contains a letter of the orator Of
the Young Ireland Society, extending
to forty pages, IN which he describes
his escape from Tasmania, while the
manuscripts of Thomas Davis include
numbers of his songs, ballads and po-
litical articles, Il leading article on the
Catholic university question, which is
especially interesting reading at the
present time, when Irish Roman Cath
olics are pressing forward their claims
in this direction. The letters written
to the Irish song maker include some
from the liberatOr, John Blake Dillon,
John Cornelius O'Callaghan and Sir
Frederick Burton; perhaps the most
unique item Of this part of the gift is
Davis two-volume copy Of the Nation,
in which his own articles are marked
with his name and contain occasional
corrections. The O'Connell manu-
scripts include long letter to Davis
and another to Lord Cloncurry, the lat
ter setting forth the views Of the lib
orator and Wm. Smith O'Brien on the
land question.
Passing on to the Mitchell contribu-
tions we tird letter to Sir Charles
Gavan Duffy On Hugh O'Neill, and an
other to M. J. Barry OH the secession,
as well as the preface and the title
page Of the 'Life and Times of Aodh

with "two shillin's worth of his dance
in his breeches-pocket." Poor Barney
was nearly always in trouble, for when
sent an any message to town, he
couldn't for the life of him resist the
temptation of gazing into the shop
windows or following up peep
man. or ballad singer, so that being
always late coming home he was gen.
orally in abject terror of ''gettin' Bal
lyhooley from the Misthus." All! the
fun and the pathos of 'Knocknagow,
that truest Of Irish novels, and how
the sight of Sliav-na-mon recalled it
ALL That sweet country of the Suirside
has had many poets to sing its praises.
When the fresh brcezcs of spring blow
in from the sea, when the hawthorn
hedges are white and fragrant, and the
golden primroses are starring every
messy bank, and the SUR goes splash
ing onward between vivid green banks.
All! then show me any scene to COM
pare with the valleys around old Sliav-
na-mon
My friend d. A. Mccarthy, the gifted
author Of "a Round Of Rimes." caught
the inspiration of the time and place
when he so sweetly sang:
"Ah! Sweet is Tipperary in the spring
time of the year,
When the hawthorn's whittier than
snow.
When the feathercd folk assemble, and
the aic is all a-tremble
With their singing and their winging
to and fro;
When queenly Sliav-na-mon puts her
vcrdant vesture on
And smiles to hear the news the
breezes bring:
When the sun begins to dance on the
rivulets that glance
All! Sweet is Tippcrary in the
spring.
Gentle Charles Kickham would have
loved to clasp the hand of the young
bard who sings so well the praises of
his native spot The people who live
around Sliav-namOn are they of whom
it was said, they arc the finest peas
antry in the world" From this spot
were recruited the boys whose resist
less charge ut Sabroan forced from,
the unwilling lips of their general the
tribute, Magnificent Tipperary!'
They are a tall race and world-re-
nowned athletes, these Tipperary men,
but they have been thinned out by
eviction and emigration. If English
generals ever get the chance again to
cry out Magnificent Tipperary!'-Eng-
land has herself to blame. All! how
sad that the people should have to
flee these beloved wales.
This sorrow also is the last note of
poor Kickham'S story. "Knoc1nagOw
is gone" he walls, "Knocknagow is
gone.'
But old dreamy Sliav-n:l-mon still
watches over all and waits for the re-
turn of the exile-waits in vain, alas,
for many Il one. And when the exile
returns the dear old mountain puts on
its bravest attire to greet him and
flashes out in gallant array of sunshine
and shadow, mist and cloud, for
nagow" may be gone forever, Sliav-
na-mon remains unchangcablc.

THEsTAMMANY CHlEFTAIN.
Dick Croker Not So Black as He Is
Painted.

Painted.
The following letter, which explains
itself, recently appeared in the New
York Sun, now one of the most ram
pant Republican papers in the metropo-
lis:
10 the Editor Of the Sun:
Sir:-The latest addition to reform
literature is paper on Richard Croker
in McClure's Magazine, by William
Allen White, republished in the Sun of
the Sd inst. I have known Mr.. Croker
quite we'll since 1873, and cannot find
sentence in Mr.. Whites philippe to
recall the man whose character and
person he processes to draw.
Thus in glancing at Mr.. Crokers
youth, he tells us he was "roister-
ing young man." A roistering young
man, according to the dictionary max
ers, is a noisy, nproarious, turbulent
one. Richard Croker is emphatically
a quiet man, and has always been
one. But having mounted his Pegasus
for daring ride, Mr.. White gallops
away into the regions of fiction, thus
wise:
Gas chancellor of the exchequer,
Croker was thrown daily with the no.
bility. The Irish in him made him
initiative. He acquired veneer of
manners. He ceased to be a gent. His
fists whitened, and his voice, strident,
harsh, aud full of strange oaths, be-
gan to grow gentle as summer breeze,
in the days when he was in Kelly's
cabinet" If Mr.. White had ever heard
Mr.. Croker's voice he would have
avoided such a confession of ignorance
as is found in these words, "strident,
harsh and full Of strange oaths," not
one syllable Of which has the remotest
relation to the truth. Having failed
utterly in the lilzness, he is equally un-
fortunate with the facts when he tells
lis that "Kelly made Croker sort of
privy councillor and gave him the Of
flee and title of city chamberlain" J"
Mr.. White will be surprised to learn
that Mr.. Kelly had been in his grave
three years when Mr.. Croker became
city chamberlain of New York. In
the next place the fanciful llmner
spreads out a lurid background of vice
In "saloon. gambling rooms and broth
el,' and without vouchsaflng particle
Of evidence to prove it he informs us
with the same confidence displayed in
crcditing dead man with having ap-
pointed Croker chamberlain. sin this
atmosphere Croker's character was
formed. He breathed this air into his
spiritual nostrils. The pollution with
cred his SOUL" Tc redeem this from
coarse abuse it should be shown to be
strictly true. Not word of proof is
offered. Stilted antithesis and mali.
cious slander are neither brave nor
charitable. reither mannerly nor
praiseworthy.
A fact at last turns up, and the real
Richard Croker for the first time ap.
pears when the writer says he "helped
to pull down Tweed" Peering through
Il mass Of mixed metaphors for any
other fact to keep the first solitary one
company. I perceive and rescue an
other from It's perilous situation in the
waste Of words: ut may be said.' y
remarks Mr.. White, "to the credit OF
the system which produced Croker
that he conducted the various offices

John L. Werner, Who Had Been Miss
ing From Home Fourteen Years,
Drowned in Chicago Sunday.
ALL TRACE OF HIM WAS LOST
Left Kenosha Fourteen Years Ago and
Nothing Had Been Heard From Him I'm
til Telegram Came of His Death.

After being absent from his home
and kindred for more than fourteen
years John L. Werner, a son of the
late Peter Werner, and at one time one
of the best known men of Kenosha,
will return to Kenosha this evening.
The home coming will be indeed sad
one. for after waiting many years for
the return of son and brother his rela-
tives will be forced to take his 1ife1ess
body from the train and bear it back to
the old home.
The story of the life and death of
John L. Werner is a peculiar one.
Fourteen years ago Werner left Keno
sha and since that time no trace of
him had been found until Sunday
evening when his brothers here re-
ceived a telegram from Chicago stat
ing that his body had been washed
up by the waves of the lake and had
been removed to the city morgue there.
Werner had left Kenosha to make his
fortune, but it is probable that he has
carried the secret of his success or
failure with him to the grave, for in
ali these years his friends here have
not had a single word from him.
A few years ago the father of Wer-
ner died and at that time an effort was
made to locate him in order to permit
a settlement of the estate; although ad-
vertisements were inserted IN papers
in all parts of the country, no word
came from the missing heir.
1t seems from developments that
Werner had lived in Chicago for sew
era1 years, but he had never ventured
back to the old home. He was last
seen in Chicago on last Saturday even
ing, when he was seen walking to-
ward the lake near the spot where the
body was found on Sunday. No one
IN Kenosha has any facts in regard to
the loss of Werner's life, but it is sup
posed that it was accidental. When
the man was found he had life in
surance policy in his pocket and in
this manner he was identified and his
friends in this city notified of his
death.
The deceased was we'll connected in
this city, being brother to Nicholas,
Charles and Joseph Werner. While
Werner had been in Chicago he was
employed as a janitor and had resided
at 1852 South Park avenue.
