seat of that branch of the 0'Briens

quin is descended. 1t consists of

Tudor house of a century later.
Of a member of the dynasty,
"Moira Rhu," or Red Mary. many
strange tales abound of her raids on
the English settlers in 1911, her hang

castle, the men by the neck and the
maids by their hair.

At his death few hours later she
promptly assumed a magnificent robe
OF blue and silver, drove to Limerick
and offered to surrender to Ireton,

married Col. Cooper, a Cromwellian
soldier, and thus saved the Leaman-

that she killed Cooper with a kick
and that he was succeeded by some
two dozen other husbands, few of
whom escaped by a natural death.

CHIEF OF O'BRIENS.
Honor Held by Lord Inchiquin Of

One of the Oldest of Irish Families
Whose History Dates Rack Many
Centuries-The story of
MOira Rhu

Lord Inchiquin, the head of one of
the oldest families in the Irish peer
age, will be a conspicuous figure at
the coronation of King Edward VII.
DIomoland castle, the seat of Luz
cius, fifteenth Lord Inchiquin, is in
County Clare, in the south of Ire
land. 1t was built about 70 years ago
of fine hand-cut gray limestone and
on the site of the old Eliza bethan
manor house which had taken the
place of the old castle, chosen orig
inally as the family residence of the
O'Briens when they migrated from
Leamanagh castle, which was sit
uated in a remoJer part of Clare.

Thomond of those days, who for

early life. The general is man over
the medium height, sinewy in build,
and remarkable for his quiet, digni-
fed manner. He has deep-set, dark
eyes, a prominent Roman nose and a
large, dark-brown beard, giving to
his face a strong, handsome and pa
trician expression.
He was born of a fighting family,
and has had the experience and train
ing of campaigns in conflicts with
hostile Kaffir tribes. His first com
mand was in the war which the Eng
lish melted the BasutOs TO wage
against the Free State in the early
COS. when he was quite young.
These experiences qualified him for
prominent military position when
the present war broke out, and he
was unanimously elected to the COM
mand of the Lichtenburg burghers,
who became part of Cronje's western
column.
He represented his native district
in the volksraad for ten years, and
was a consistent supporter of the
JoubeTt, as against the Kruger, fol-
lowing in that assembly. He favored
a large franchise concession to the
UiUlanders as a means of ayerting a
conflict with England, but soon saw
that a demand for political reforms
was only a preteXt for precipitating
a conflict. He was one of the most
ardent advocates of an attacking
as against a defensive military pol
icy when England forced a resort to
hostilities upon the republic.
Like Gen. Cronie, he carries no
weapons in the field. His field glass,
wooden pipe, and, last but not least,
his Biole, are his inseparable com
panions. He is a universal favorite
with the burghers of both republics,
and inspires great confidence in his
men by his almost unerring military
judgment, splendid generalship, hero
ic courage, an indomitable tenacity
of purpose and an all-round resource
fulness in all emergencies.
He is remarkably self-contained in
his actions, never getting excited,
even in the thickest of the fight, but
always remaining cool, cautious and
alert.

hope of misleading the erstwhile
friends of the colored people.
The scholarly gentleman who
now opposes the Crumpacker Bill
does but poor credit to his illus
triOus ancestors. The most repre-
sentative, scholarly and eloquent
men of the South that ever sat In
Congress have reiterated time and
again the value of the Negro as
factor in building up ard main
tanning a proper social fabric
Negroes have been called the "key
stone." the "corner stone" of TIE
institutions at the south and it
was contended that without these
people, the social fabric could not
stand. These expressions grew out
of the fact that the Negro was
reliable factor, one VINO took an
interest in the welfare of the peo
pie and who regarded this country
as his home. In point of patriotism,
there have been none more ardent.
He has fought in all of the bat
ties which brought glory to Amer
can arms and peace to the country
and his bones have been left to
bleach on many a battlefield. lie
emulates all that is good and noble
in American civilization and Is al
ways found on the side of liberty
and justice.
He has been sought after by S.
cialists and Nihiists, but his in
stinct favors law and order and
hence their Establishments have
been of no avail.
Even his experience as a law
maker and political leader in the
sourh compares faVOrably With the
government now administered In
that section. He may have made
mistakes, but no rights were evadsd,
no privileges were denied and the
constitutions and laws framed by
the Negro are sound and just and
would be so to-day had not tue
spirit of injustice and tyranny "c'-
uated the southern whites to make
them burdensome and unjust. Here
is another instance of the trickery
of the average southern politician.
The Negro is placed in the same
category with the Chinaman, be-
cause the Chinaman is at this time
persona non grata and because it
afforded an opportunity to "make
a haul" But injustice and mean
ness cannot be hidden from the
eyes of the sensible by new gloss
of oratorical brilliancy or the film
sy gauze of fine spun falsehoods.
The fact remains that the negro is
an American citizen and that as
such he is entitled to all the rights
and privileges common to Amer-
cans generally. It. also remains
that tne south exercises five or six
times its legitimate representative
force in the councils ofthe Nation.
Hence all the sentimental hog
wash and chronological jug-glory
that may be urged cannot deter the
people Of the North from insisting
either upon the rights of the color
ed people in the South to vote, or
the curtailment OF representative
force TO mething like an equita-
BILE bases. Il is indeed a agrOtesqus
picture to see the people, who have
stolen the dearest boon OF citizen
ship, whince and prate about race
superiority. peace, justice and fair
dealing. Surely southern repre-
sentative hath monumental gall.

The Chicago Tribune is respon-

welt has given it out that he will
veto any resolution or act of congress
proposing to revive the grade of vice
admiral for Schley, or to give him the
thanks of congress, or in any sther
way to recognize Schley by statute.
In taking this position the president is
not Influenced in any way by his own
personal feelings in the matter, but
merely by his desire to put an end'to
a disturbance which has scandaliZed
both the army and the navy" AS
the president is mot influenced in any
way by his own personal feelings in
this matter, how did 1t happen that
everything he has done SO far, with the
single exception of Maclay's discharge,
and everything which is predicted the
president may do, is clearly antagonis-
tic to Admiral Schley? Does Mr.;
Roosevelt really imagine that it is pos

its merits? Does Mr. Roosevelt mag

In Honor Of Irish Brigade"

The SiXty-ninth regiment, New York,
part of the famous Irish Brigade, .. en-
listed for three months, but in that
time it took part in the battles of
Blackburn's Ford and Bull Run. Many
members of the 69th were captured in
the latter bloody fight, the colonel be-
ing one of the number. The regiment
returned from the front in August, and
a few days after it was mustered out
OF. the service an order was issued by
the war department for the reorsaniza-
ton of an Irish brigade. Under this
call eight hundred members Of the 69th
enlisted for three years in the 69th
regiment New York volunteers, and
went TO the front under command of
Colonel Robert Nugent, with James
Kelley as lieutenant colonel and James
Cavanagh as major. The other New
York regiments in the brigade were the
63d and SSth. The 28th Massachusetts
and the ] 18th Pennsylvania were added
to the Irish brigade, with two batteries,
commanded by Captains Hogan and
Mcmahon.
Internal troubles disrupted the regi-
ment few years ago, and despite the
efforts of many prominent Irishmen,
who were proud of the record made by
the 18th in the civil war, to save it the
command was reduced to battalion of
five companies. But even the battalion
was not united body. 1t was SO torn.
by petty fights that its disarmament
was discussed in the highest military
circles of the state. But the friends
of the old guard came to it's reseue,
new companies were organized, and
Lieutenant Colonel George Moore
Smith of the 18th regiment was placed
in temporary command. This was an |
innovation against which some of the |
members protested. Only Irishmen had
commanded the regiment before, they
said. and the advent of an American as
commander of an Irish organization
could do only harm. But the results
showed that the evil prophecies were
false. The companies were strength
ened by good recruits, the staff was
by the addition of competent
officers, and the painstaking provision

Smith remained in command until he
