Those Samar Atrocities.

1t makes one sick at heart to read
in the news dispatches from Washing
ton that United States officers in the
Philippines are to be tried by court
martial for torturing natives. We
grew righteously indignant at the bar
barities of Weyler in Cuba and fairly
ragged with resentment when it was
known that Kitchener had established
concentration camps in South Africa
and now we are to have trial of our
officers for lashing Filipino to tree
and going out day after day and shoot
ing him in non-vital place. prolong-
ing his agony until the horrible ven
geance of the officer was satiated, says
the St. Paul Globe.
OF such is war. Sherman said most
justly that "war is hell" and he might
have added that it makes of it's follow
ers devils. Not all of them, of course:
as not all of any other calling are
either good or bad. But that such
atrocities as are reported-and not de-
nied-from Samar could he committed
by men wearing the livery of the Unit
ed States is most astounding
All the myriad brood of evils which
come with and Immediately after war
are flocking around the operations of
the United States army in the Philip
!! pines. Soon there will be in all the
family of nations not one we can con-
sistently rebuke-for an example of
atrocity on our part. equally shocking,
can be pointed to by the accused.
An accursed greed for territory is
/ back of it all-is back of the record of
blood and rapine and tyranny made by
England in the conquest of unwilling
peoples for the purpose of spoliation;
is back Of our own policy in dealing
with the Filipinos. The ambition to
be "world power'' has driven our
once beneficent government into the
maelstrom of conquest; has made us
forget the immortal principles for
which the fathers fought heroically
and won their independence. 1t has
made lis members Of the brotherhood of
rohber nations. disregarding the rights
| of others unable to defend themselves
with the sword.
The last and most horrible develop
ment of this Republican nO1icv of con-
quest is the action of our officers in
torturing helpless Filipino. God

society there devoted to picking up
waits of his kind and shipping them
west. There were religious people al
ways ready to adopt them, especially
if they had no children of their own
and Catholic children of this kind were
especially priced because they could
make good Protestants of them. Lit
tie Brady was gathered up and packed
off west to Indiana, where lived in
small town a lawyer named John
Green. Green adopted him, finally
assisting him to course through
Yale college. After his graduation he
went to sitka, Alaska, as a Methodist
missionary, and where he worked sew
eral years as preacher and teacher.
Later he became, trader with the
Indians and gained great influence
with them. He married government
school teacher and finally was appoint
ed governor of the territory by Presi-
dent Mckinley. Hundreds, nay,
thousands, of Irish Catholic children
were picked up in this way in New

the Catholics have the means of tax

An Irish Mechanical Genius.

William O'Keeffe of KnOckavilla,
is Tipperary farmer whose business
as an agriculturist does not prevent
his capabilities from branching out in
other directions. says the Freeman's
Journal. His aptitude for mechanical
work is little short of marvellous. His
education did not include n collegiate
] course in mechanics or any other
science, but what he might have done
under such circumstances can be in
ferred from the achievements which
are to his credit as snug young
farmer of the premier county.
! His comfortable home in the heart
of Tipperary is an example Of his gen.
~ius. 1t was designed and erected by
himself, and every article of furniture
which it contains, with the exception
of piano and an iron bedstead, is
/ the work of his own hands.
From mere youth he displayed an
extraordinary mechanical genius, and
when young gossoon could take
watch to pieces and put it together
again. He has made numbers of vio-
Inns, and is himself no mean performer
on that instrument. On one occasion
while invaded with sore foot and
not being able to leave the house, he
occupied his time by making clock.
| Among his other accomplishments
are glass and china stitching, gun and
safety bicycle repairing, steel and
brass working and wood turning, but
what we-are ut present most interest
ed in is his successful attempt at the
manufacturing of Irish pipes, and his
own special device for boring out the
chanter quickly in the lathe. This
secret of his success he naturally wish
es to keep to himself for the present.
| 1t was John S. Wayland, one Of the
founders of the Irish Pipers Club,
Cork, who first got Mr.. O'Keeffe in
terested in pipe-making. When Mr..
O'Keeffe was handed the chanter by
Mr.. Wayland he remarked that he
thought he would get over the paper
boring and promised that If he did not
make a chanter as good he would not
make one worse than the one that had
been given him. His words have come
true, and he is now in a position to
meet the rapidly increasing demand
for this old Irish instrument. His
success is all the more creditable as he
is not as yet able to play the pipes
himself. It is an amusing fact that
his first experiment at chanter making
was made with a well-seasoned STIR
about stick, the brass end of which
had once done duty as part of porter
barrel tap. When undertaking the

The Cork Exhibition.

An American cantatrice who sang in
Cork during the past fortnight with
tremendous success, awaited of the op-
portunity afforded by her visit to the
capital Of the South of Ireland, Eve
fayre Cite bye the Lee" as Spencer
was wont to put it. to visit the site of
the International Exhibition which is
to open there in May and continue till
November this year. She was highly
delighted with the shape the preten-
tious scheme is taking and to a repor-
ter who waited on her she expressed
herself in terms of enthusiastic sur
prise.
II was quite amazed" she said
with the extent of your grounds and
size of your buildings. I think the
situation is decidedly unique. To my
mind the extent of ground used is
larger than that occupied by the Glas-
gov Exhibition last year, but certainly
it is incomparably prettier. The sur
roundings are beautiful, and the river
is perfectly lovely. But you have
scenery everywhere in Ireland and you
don't notice it so much as a stranger
does.
Il think one of the main attractions
of the Cork Exhibition will be that
you can get so easily from it to all the
famous beauty spots in the country
Killarney, Glengariffe and the West
Coast, and dear old Barney Castle.
Do you know there were many in
quiries at the Chicago Exposition
whether that was the real Barney
Stone they had there, and the Amer
leans would have paid any money for
it if they could have got the famous
stone to take over; but here you have
the real thing and every one may come
and kiss it. Why, on my first visit to
Cork paid visit to Barney Castle
and made pilgrimage to Father
Prout's grave, he who wrote, wasn't it,
The Bells of Shandon.'. And talking
about Shandon, that celebrated parti-
colored steeple can be seen from the
Exhibition grounds; why, can see it
from my windows here.
"And then the travelling accommoda-
ton has SO much improved in Ireland.
Why, people don't know anything
about it, and I can speak about travel
ing, for I think I have been we'll all
over the world" she added laughingly.
But do you know what you should
have above ala beauty show
Her husband smiled. "You wouldn't
get the girls to co." he said.
"Oh, wouldn't you thought" said
Madame. "You may be quite easy on
that point, and Irish girls are SO lovely.
Why the beauty Of Irish girls is
spoken Of everywhere. I never did see
such pretty girls anywhere. Don't
you think they'd patronize a beauty
show? Rather! And wouldn't the
men go to see them too7 You should
