eighteen lines of its narrow columns,
and the members who Immediately fol-
lowed in the debate made no refer

later in the evening, recognized in gem

man who was destined after the lapse
of thirty years to become his chief
political rival. THE first effort rich

there still issue forth from the mater

Nervousness is not commonly recogni-

three celebrated lrishmcn have in this
century owned its mastery when up
for the first time before the House of
Commons. on April 26 1875, when a
Coercion bill for Ireland was in COM
mittee, Parnell rose to deliver his first
speech He was obviously and pain
fully nervous, and could only stammer
out few barely inteligible sentences
about Ireland not being a geographical
fragment.
Eighty years ago or SO a distinguished
Irish member named Dougherty, who
subsequently became Chief Justice of
Ireland asked Canning what he

wealthy farmer living on the lake road
five miles northwest of this village.
The assignment was signed, witnessed
and delivered at the Schleswing home
stead on Thursday of this week, and
the child is now in the custody of its
foster parents. To a reporter Mr..
Schleswing gave the details of the
transfer and the incidents leading up
to it.
While visiting friends in Pittsburg
recently Mr.. and Mrs. Schleswng be-
came acquainted with the mother of
the boy. The woman Is widow, and
up to the present time she had been in
rather straitened circumstances. Hav-
ing no children of their own the
Schleswings became much attached to
the little boy and invited the mother TO
visit them at their home near here.
The invitation was accepted and ten
DAYS ago the mother and child were
met at the railroad station here and
were driven to the SChlesving home
stead
A few days after their arrival Mr..
Schleswing proposed to the chlld's
mother that he be permitted to adopt
the little fellow. The mother objected
at first, but when she was assured that
the boy would receive a good education
and ultimately a large part OF the
SchlesWing estate, she took the matter
into consideration. In addition to this
the mother was Informed that she
would receive an annuity of $500 dur
ing her lifetime and that she might
spend several weeks each year with the
child. 1t was stipulated, however, that
the boy should be brought up to be-
lieve himself the only child and heir of
Mr.. and Mrs. Schleswing. 1t was
stipulated also that the boy should re-
ceive $1,000 when he becomes of age to
enable him to start in business for
himself if he desires to do so. The
mother reserves the right to reclaim
her son should Mr.. Schlcswing neglect
to fulfil any part of his agreement.
After the first installment of the an
nuity was paid to the mother she was
Informed That she might revoke the
agreement If che then desired. She re-
piled that it would be best for the boy
to let it stand. She will return to
Pittsburg on Monday. The boys pres
ent name is Roy Schleswing.
