THE MEAGHER GUARDS.
A Grand Military Organization Has
Disbanded.

The Meagher Guards of Butte, per-
haps the most unique military organ
ization Of it's kind in the country, has
passed out of existence. After years
Of training and discipline which made
it an ornament in time of peace and
an effective body of fighting men in
time of war it has passed into history.
Deriving no sustenance either from the
state or the national government, the
guards succeeded in equipping and
supporting a magnificent company
composed chiefly of young men of
Irish birth or parentage, loyal to the
American flag. but ever ready to take
whfrl at their ancient enemy, n de-
sire which they significantly expressed
by offering their services to the United
States government at the time of Mr..
Cleveland's famous message concern
ing the Venezuelan difficulty, says the
Intermountain Catholic.
The Irishman is by natural instinct
first-rate fighting man. Some of
the best soldiers the world has ever
seen have come from the little green
isle across the sea.
The flower of the British army; Kip
ling's heroes of d hundred battles; the
fighters of every grade from Private
Mulvaney to Chief
General Roberts have hailed from the
land that has no army of it's own.
1t has been stated, and it certainly
is remarkable fact, that at time
when the possibility of an Anglo
American alliance was being dis
cussed by statesmen of Europe, were
England's Irish-born generals, admir-
ais, colonial governors and diplomats
disposed all Mt once to rebel, they
could convert the British into an Irish
empire and hoist the green flag not
only over College Green, but over the
historic walls of Westminster.
Wellington, Woolsley, Roberts,
Blood, Kitchener, Kelly, White and
Cough. whose services on many a
bloody field blaze bloody trail of
glory into the British war office, were
Irishmen every one. Rear Admiral
Beresford Of the English navy comes

can history reveals the names of many

and navy, and includes such names, as

fighting McCooks, McClellans, and
McDowells in the union army, and
Stonewall Jackson in the confederate
ranks; John Barry of Wexford, once
the first ranking officer in the navy
and Captain John O'Brien.
The dcath-roll of the unfortunate
hattleship Maine, now so historic. was
full of Murphys, Sullivans and Kellys,
and when the war cry was sounded
against tyrannous Spain, Irishmen
all over the United States offered
their services.

Davis was plunged in SORROW early on
Thursday morning of last week when
news spread that Mr.. William Sophy
was dead. The sad event occurred at
his brother Morell's home, one mile
southeast of that city, where deceased
had been staying for some time. 1t
seems that on the evening previous
the young man ate supper with the
family and enjoyed himself immense
last. The prevailing opinion is that
apopleXy caused death. Deceased was
born in Ontario, Can, in 1867. Prior
to coming to Dakota Mr.. Sophy had
made his home in Clinton county,
Iowa. He was resident of Turner
county for many years and was the
owner of beautiful farm. The flu

PURITAN BIGOTRY.
No Catholics Tolerated In Any New
England Colony.

In no part of New England were
Catholics tolerated during the colo
ninl period. The exclusive spirit of
the early settler of Massachusetts
and New Hampshire was intensely
hostile to all forms of religious be-
lief except PuritaniSm, says Dover.

phia Standard and Times.

1t might, indeed, have been appro-
priately written over the entrance to
the Granite State for nearly two hun
dred years from the time of the first
settlement, the famous, or Infamous,
lines:
"Turk. jew or Atheist
May enter here. but no Papist."
Such appears to have been the re-
ligiOus attitude of the colonists and
their descendants down to COM
paratively recent period.
Even after the separation from
Massa chusetts, New Hampshire was
closed to Catholic settlers.
In 1885, oaths still more odious and
Insulting to Catholics were published
in New Hampshire. After the oath of
allegiance to King William and Queen
Mary, came the TEST" which ran:

Panic at Fort DeFranee.

Fort de France, May 3O.-People
live in the utmost dread from hour
to hour, and it needs but the begin
ming Of a violent demonstration of
Mont Pelee to throw the people into
another panic. That this is recog.
nized on every hand is shown by the
secret departure Of the cruiser Gin
cinnati last night without a word of
warning, and her intention was
known to only very few. She slipped
her cables and sailed for New York.
The captain did this to save her, for
any hour might have seen an over
whelming rush of people to the ship.
So intense is the feeling growing that

"Some years ago was retained by

secure her a divorce. After having

her and was surprised when she
burst into roar Of laughter otter
reading it.
"What is so funny?' I asked.
"'Why, look here replied the di-
vorcee. Look at the names-"Dono-

"Keenan," county clerk. Why she
mirthfully added, when I return

Mere swindlers at W ork.

In spite of the experience with the

week for stamps and other expenses.
The first outlay is to send So 80
for book entitled, "a Physician in
the House," which contains remedies
for all the ailments known TO human
ity since Adam and Eve walked in
the garden of Eden. On receipt of
the money an agreement is sent for
signature, in which it is stipulated
that the gudgeon who bites at this
bait shall write ten letters every day
according to instructions, mailing a
post card every day to the Occult
Book C;mpsny, giving the names
and addresses of people to whom let-
ters have been sent. It is the same
old game and is managed in the same
old way to flch money from
those who are unable to lose
it, but unfortunately, this is the class
that nibbles at it like a minnow ct
the hook.
OF course, we will be told that
there are persons here and there wto
have received the SIS per week, which
appears to be conclusive argument,
but for every one getting pay as stip-
ulsted there are ten, twenty OF thirty
others who never get anything for
their pains and trouble. The Occult
company know what they are about,

An Intensely Active Volcano.

An Intensely Active Volcano.
Fort de France, Island of Marti-
nique, May %, 5p. ma tremendous
explosion of very black smoke issued
from Mount Pelee at a quarter OF 8
this morning.
Prof. Robert T. Hill, United States
government geologist and head of the
expedition sent to Martinique by the
National Geographic society, who left
Fort de France Monday on horse
back for the volcano, returned here
this morning. He was completely
wo1n ont by his trip.
Prof. Hill recites an interesting
story Of his examination of the dis
ariea through which he passed.
Prof. Hill heard the explosion OF
sbip morning while on his way into
Fort de France, and says a cloud of
black smoke, ata great height was
drifting slowly to the southeast.
Speaking personally of his expe-
dit;on to Mount Pelee, Prof. Hill
aaid:
My attempt to examine the crater
of Mount Pelee has been futile. l
succeeded, however, in getting very
e8ose to Morne Rouge. At Z o'clock
Monday night I witnessed from
high point near the ruins at st. Pierre,
q fnghtful explosion from Mount
Pslss and noted the accompanying
pbooomena. While these eruptions
no sane man should attempt to &C.
osnd 10 the crater of the volcano.
Following the salvos of detous from
fbe mountain, gigantic mushroom
shsped columns of smoke and Gin
dsrs ascended into the clear, starlit
aky, and then spread, in vast black
sheet, to the south, and directly over
nay bead. Then this sheet, which
extended distance of ten miles
from the crater, vivid and awful
EgbsniDg like bolts flashed with
alarming frequency. They followed
distinct paths of ignition, but were
different from lightning in that the
bolts we're horizontal and not perpen-
dscnlaz. This is indisputable evil
5eDcs Of the explosive oxidation of
the gsssss after they left the crater.
This is most important observation
and explains, in part, the awful catas-
tcopbe. This phenomenon is entirely
nsw in volcanic history.
Il took my photographs, but do
oos hesitate to acknowledge that I
was terrified. But I was not the
only person so frightened. Two
newspaper correspondents who were
close to Morne Rogue some hours
before me became scared, ran three
miles down the mountain and has
asned into Fort de France.
-9hs people on the north end of
'sbs Biand are terrified and are fee
ing with their cattle and effects. I
spent Tuesday night in the house at
Deu1 Cboux with a crowd of 200
hiRbtsnsd refugees.
Nearly all the phenomena of these
volcanic outbreaks are new to science
and many of them have not yet been
explained. The valcano is still in
asDssly aetive, and I cannot make
any predictions as to what it will do"
