Gaelic Games.

OF the many contests which will
make up the program of Irish games
to be decided in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, Dec 81, the running
hop, step and jump is the only one
which is not seen frequently on this
side of the Atlantic ut athletic meet
ings. It is distlnctively Gaelic in
origin and for many generations in all
parts of Ireland it has been known as
the hop, step and leap.
Quite a number of athletes have ell
tered for this event, and it is probable
that the record of 48 feet 6 inches,
established by Il. u. Bloss, at Chicago,
Sept. 1G, 1888, may be cqualed, If not
beaten, on this occasion. At least three
record holders will compete in this col-
test, namely, Ray y. Ewry, Of the New
York A. c., record holder for the stand
ing high and broad and three standing
jumps; Myer Prinstein, Of the Greater
New York Athletic association, holder
Of the American record for the rum
ming broad jump, and another member
of this association, DIR. Il. T.. Mulligan,
of Yonkers, who holds the worlds rec
ord for the ten standing jumps.

UNFAIRLY risk their capital there. they

Let the United States insist that
England and Germany arbitrntc their
questionable claims against Venezuela,
and perhaps when such matters as the
Ban Righ and other schemes are pass

should be collected in Europe and not

heath OF a Convert.

The Hon. G. l.. Marble, Of Van Vert,
Ohio, who died the other day, was Il re.
cent convert to the Catholic faith. De-
ceased was a graduate of the Ohio
Wesleyan College and of Princeton
University. At the age of 1S he delib-
erately rejected Professionalism as un-
tenable on any rational ground. lie be-
came an agnOstic and was Il close
friend Of the late Robert Ingersoll Yet
he refused to attend any of the lee
lures Of the great infidel, believing
them wrong in undermining the relig-
iOus faith Of others. Some years ago
he began to consider the claims Of
CathOlicity, and when he had satisfied
himself Of it's truth, accepted it with
beautiful and edifying faith. He
willingly made every sacrifice that the
Church could demand of him, even the
forfeiture of his standing amongst the
Masons, Of which he was an infucn-
tial member. He was Hebrew
sCHoldi anu d hecH Stuuehl VI lhlIh
and Greek. His enormous library in
cluded books on all subjects of philO-
sophical and scientific research.
Mr.. Marble was one of the legal
lights Of the State of Ohio, and stood
high as counselor I'm Republican

friend Of the late lamented President,
William Mckinley, and several times
was called to Washington to deliberate
OH questions Of national Importance.

fairs that may spill Mr.. Roosevelt's
fat in the fire. II he makes an appeal
to his countrymen to sink their differ
enceS and unite against the common
enemy, Venezuela is capable Of giving
the two European bullies Il taste of
the medicine England received in
South Africa. They may seize La
Guayra and other ports; but that move
can be rendered Of little use by Cas-
tro's closing the country to the ports,
and in that case both the truculent
traders will suffer more than Venc-
zuela, which buys it's luxuries, not it's
necessarics, from Europe.
Meanwhile Venezuela's DOOR fleet
has been seized and foreign marines
have been landed at La Gulyra and
Castro's attitude spells trouble. The
administration in Washington is not
feeling as comfortable as it was, and
it may find it necessary, as events pro-
gress, to forget it's British friends and
become merely American in it's attitude
and acts. 1t will not do to depend al
together for it's future upon the dissen-
sions and blunderings of the Demo
cratic party; even that party some
times exhibits symptoms of sanity;
and it may pull itself together and
unite on Richard Olney. "Olney and
Venezuela" would make cry that
would rouse the ancient spirit of
Americanism and lead the people to
throw off the capitalistic influences
which are poisoning the republic. The
late lamented Tom Reed once asked
Joseph Chamberlain, just before the
Spanish War, if he thought Uncle Sam
was going to be fool enough to pull
chestnuts out of the fire for John Bull.
The powers which needed pliable
and obedient man in the White House
Defeated Reed for the Presidency; and
the first influence observable in Wash
ington with the new financial dspen-
sation was this anxiety to pull chest
nuts out of the fire for Chamberlain
and his government. Then came Hay,
after few years apprenticeship in
London, to raise this servile policy to
fine art and to make our State de-
partment British agency. Mr.. Roosc-
. welt succeeded to this policy, but lie
has so far shown little anxiety to
change the downward course of
things. 1t is about time he started.
Roosevelt the Strenuous, the Amer-
can, is the man the American people
admire; they have little use for the
plant Roosevelt looking for the Presi-
dental nomination. The Roosevelt
who did things, who broke into the
Presidency because of his American
ism and despite the gang which tried
to maroon him in the Vice Presidency,
is man who cannot be defeated, but
Roosevelt, the docile pupil of Hay and
Lodge, can be beaten out Of his boots.
This Venezuelan question is up to
Mr.. Roosevelt to settle and settle right.
1t won't do to call the Venezuelans
names, to deride their race and gov
ernmental eccentricities, to talk rot
about Anglo-Saxonism and kindred
nonsense; the question is far and be-
yond these things and involves the
honor of this republic and the prin-
ciple of our political being. America
has laid down the principle of "hands
off" in America, for European power
