IRELAND's CAUSE AND Color
Morrison's Hotel, one OF the old
landmarks of Dublin, is being
razed to the ground, says the Lon
don Mall The building has his
torIc associations for IrIshmen.
Once among the best patronized
and most popular hotels IN Dublin,
il was famous as ParnelPs resort,
where he drew up his Irish cam-
paign plans,
II was originally one Of the town
houses Of the Fitzgerald family,
who owned great deal property
in the vicinity, including the lam
Gus Leinster House. Over the
door OF the hotel were the Fitz-
gerald arms, and in the supports
the figures of two monkeys, in
commemoration oil a striking fam
lily incident. When old Kilkee
Castle, one OF the seats OF the Fitz
geralds, took fire, the heir to the
estate was saved by a monkey,
which took the infant in his arms
and clambered from point to point
with his precious burden, finally
REACHING the ground with it IN
safely.
Parnelps first arrest was effected
at MoTrison's Hot | on October
T3. 1881. Parnell was thence taken
to Krlmainham Jail, where he was
confined as a suspect" until the
following May. Il was at this
hotel that Parnel's friend, the late
DR.. J. +. Kenny, discovered Par
nelPs extraordinary superstition.
Going into has writing room one
day Parnell saw a green cloth on
the table. He at once had it re.
moved, and the same evening he
refused to enter anoth-r room in
the hotel in which three candles
we're burning. Three candlesticks
are supposed IN the minds Of super
sti,ious people to mean death, and
a green tableclotb foretells dis
aster. Parnell more than once
said that the Irish cause would
never prosper until the Irish peo-
pie discarded green as their na-
tional color Tor the older blue. Up
to the time oihis death Parnell al
ways stayed at Morrison's when in
Dublin.

The value of FreemAsonry.
u fads0y Magazine,

The practical Free.nasonry in
time OF need has been proved over
and over again, and even the stress
Of battle has not hardened the
heart against a brothers sign Of
distress. Sir A. Alison, the well
known author of "The History Of
Europe, related an authentic an
ecdote concerning the famous at
tack on the Redan during the
Crimean war: During Ihat assault
an English officer led a small party
OF soldiers up to one OF the guns
placed in a recess OF the Redan,
and most Of the men fell before the
FIRE with which they were received.
The others were met by body Of
Russians, and the English officer
was about to be bayoneted, when
he chanced to catch the hand Of
the Russian officer, and had pres
ence Of mind enough to give a
Masonic grip. The Russian IN a
moment struck up the bayonets ot
his soldiers, led his newly found
brother to the rear, and treated
him with the kindness OF q Mason"
An old clerical friend OF mine
vouches for the following: During
the gold fever in California an &C
quaintance OF his found himself in
the harbor OF San Francisco with
his ship laden for return, but every
seaman had deserted. The captain
made enquiries in every direction,
and at last ascertained that some
Of his men were hidden IN
crimp's house in the dreaded
Chinese quarter. The case was
desperate, and so he took his life
in his hand and went to the house
in question, hoping to get some OF
them TO return to the ship. The
room he found crowded with men
OF all sorts and conditions, but as
soon as he was recognized knives
were drawn, and his last hour ap-
peared to have arrived. BY a
HeaVen-sent inspiration, however,
he made a certain sign, wheTeupon
three or four men at once left the
crowd and placed themselves on
his side, and they not only got him
safely away himself, but induced
enough men to return with him to
work the ship.
Even during the present war the
tie Of the Brotherhood has been
recognized both by Beers and
EnglIshmen. A colonel of a Can
adian regiment at Modder river,
on a Sunday morning stroll,
strayed too far from his camp,
when he suddenly found himself
covered by the rifle OF Boer. By
a fortunate impulse he made the
customary sign, and cried out,
Don't shoot, -." The Boer
Immediately threw down his gun,
and hurried to the colonel, inform
ing him that he belonged to "De
Broederband" in Pretoria, and was
a member OF General Cronje's
staff,
The AmeyicaH TyLsr relates the
following: The Masons of Dundee,
one OF the Natal towns in the pos
session Of the Beers, recently
erected a very handsome Masonic
tenn pie, and the structure was relig-
iously respected by the Beers, al
thouPh at one time some rebels
attempted 10 loot the furniture.
The only Englishman lett in Dun
dee (allowed to remain with his
wife, who was nursing a sick per
son) learned OF the attempted loot
ing. and, being a Mason, notified
a Boer whom ne knew to be a
Mason. The Boer communicated
at once with the commandant, and
a guard was placed over the build
ing, which has remained intact
ever since.

JONAS HEARD A WHISTLE.

Jonas Fridinger, an empl0ye or the Westminster Electric Light Co, is the owner of q little farm i'll rather out of-the-way part of Myers district, and a few days ago paid visit to the place on his wheel. As he was returning along the country road which is de- pressed below the surrounding ground and lined on both sides with dense for ests and undergrowth, he heard n whistle in the woods, which he SUD- posed came from some person signal ing him to stop. He was confirmed in this opinion by hearing rustling noise among the bushes, and slowed up until his wheel had almost come to a standstill.
 Suddenly from the bank above him q huge blacksnaKe darted toward him, with head erect and open jaws. In stinctively he drew up his leg on the side toward the reptile, or, he says. if would have struck him. As it was the snake struck the wheel instead. The rider quickly forged ahead, and when Mir Fridinger had gained what he sup posed was safe distance he slowed up. and. looking back says he saw that theA reptile which had assaulted him was a monster in size for this locality It's head hung down in the ditch by the roadside and it's body and tail stretched across to the other side of the road, a distance of ten feet. Mr Fridinger sped on his way to the city. Old residents say that the snake has been seen in the neighborhood for years Baltimore American.

SUSY.

There is an interval of silence; then sudden peal at the accident bell is heard, and the next moment an agi- tated parent is seen running down the passage with child tucked under her arm, it's bare legs streaming behind it in the wind of it's mothers rapidity.
 .What's the matter, missis? Has she swallowed some poison?'
 "No, sir, it ain't that" she pants; ''but I'm that scared. I don't know 'ardly which way to turin"
 "Well, but what's happened? Has she hurt herself?'
 "No, sir; and Ter father 'e's that up set e couldn't do nothing, else I ain't used to running like that, and ed ave brought Ter up, but he says as low e way, an me 'eart-'
 way, an me heart"
 Come. now, missis, just tell me quietly what's the matter with the child.''
 The patient, a pretty little thing of 4, looks inquiringly at her alarmed par ent; there seems to be little the matter with her.

 The doctor in despair examines the little girl, but fails to discover any thing wrong ''Now, look here,' says he firmly. "I can't find anything the matter with your child. so you'll have to go away unless you tell me why you brought her up to the hospital"
 ''Well, doctor, we was all a-havin' our tea minute ago as it might be and'er father was eatin' a nice bit of tripe as was over form dinner, when Susy, that's Ter, says as low she loved God, and was goin' to 'eaying when she died Whatr' In tones of horror, "ain't yer goin' to give Ter no medi- cine -Macmillan'S Magazine.

THE BOER STRENGTH.


 A Cape Town correspondent of the London Express thinks it pretty well settled now that there were never more than 65,000 armed fighting men in front of the British forces. The Transvaal put 2S,000 of them in the field; the Orange Free State, 22,000; 5000 slipped away from Dutch farmhouses in Cape Colony and Natal; 1000 were Germans, Frenchmen, Irishmen etc. There IS good reason to believe" says a British official report, "that the major portion of the Red Cross Brigade with the Boers, especially the American and arms than stretchers and bandages." !" The intelligence department estimated the total strength of the commandos on March at 20,60O. Since then 1 1000 to 2,OOO have been killed or wounded, 5000 have been captured, 2,5O0 have surrendered and taken the oath. '"To- day" says the correspondent, "there cannot be more than 12, 400 men carry ing arms against us north of the Or ange River. The total number still Tn the field and scattered over 500,000 miles of territory cannot be more than 14,000 at the highest computation. !" But that's too many for comfort. "They have no lines of communication to guard" he says, s'no garrisons, no army service corps, and as they are now living by plundering their own countrymen the task of killing or cap turing the 14,O00 still at large is no light one. ."-Hartford Courant.

In his weekly letter Henry Clews thus discusses the present situation ill the country from financial standpoint. Other factors unsettling the stock mar ket were the steel strike the threaten ed war of rates in the West and crop damages. Only the latter cause was entitled to any serious consideration. Strikes and railroad wars rarely as- sume serious proportions in prosperous periods. The injury to the corn crop, however, is a much more important matter. Very likely present reports of damage has been exaggerated, yet it is certain that serious damage has been done in Kansas and some other regions, so that roads dependent upon those sections must expect to suffer in earn ings. Kansas is fifth among the great corn-producing states and turned out 163, ,SOO,000 bushels of corn last year, crop. Last year we had drouth scare in July, but results turned out much better than expected. In spite of the damage done, therefore, it seems prob able that we shall have crop of at least 1 800, 100000 bushels, which at the higher prices current will bring increas- ed prosperity where crops are good, as a partial offset to losses where crops are bad. A smaller crop of oats is ex- pected than last year, but the yield of this grain promises above the aver age. 4 magnificent wheat crop is prac- fically assured of over 100000. .Oo0 bush els, the heaviest on record; and as Eu-

According to the chaplain of John

According to the chaplain of John A. Logan command, U. V. U., of Wash ington, those who have been after the scalp of Commissioners Evans have been barking up the wrong tree. He said: Commissioner Evans is all right, there's nothing wrong with him at all. He is unjustly blamed. If there is any blame it should be placed on the medical division of the Pension office. This division is filled with a lot of young graduates of medical col leges, who don't know much about hu- man anatomy, and much less of the sufferings of the old soldier and the ways he has contracted them. There are hundreds of cases placed before Commissioner Evans every day, and, as he has to rely upon his subordinates' reports, he approves the records, think ing that the cases have been properly attended to and justly adjudicated. The medical referee. Dr Raub, is said to be the official whose place should be de- handed"
