PORTLAND THE ROSE CITY.
Novel Idea Suggested For the LEWIS
and Clark Exposition.

Frederick Y. Holman. the well
known lawyer and amateur rose grow.
or. suggests that every Portlander who
has home should plant roses in antc
ipation OF the Lewis and Clark centen
NAL celebration. says the Portland Or
egonian. He names score of varie
ties specially adapted to Portand's eli
mate which are certain TO bloom pro-
fusely from May to December, the
probable period Of the proposed fair.
Nj. Holman Is no theorist in the mat
ter Of growing roses; therefore his ad-
vice has practical value. The planting
should lie done next spring, so that the
Young bushes shall have three years
growth by the time the centennial
comes around.

accused McAleer of attempting to

Gus names, resulting in a scuffle in
which the deceased fell and received
injuries on the head that caused his
death. The jury found that the cause
of death was wound on the head
caused by fall, the result of blow
given by ii. II. Mc.tllrr. and added

T FROM IRELAND

Do We Ever Pray for Erin ?
When we rise ut early morn,
When we bend our thoughts to
pray,
That God may bless our labors,
And watch DER us through the day;
While in humblest homage kneeling.
We pour forth our "suppliance
true"
Oh, Erin, mourning mother!
DO we ever pray for you?
And at eve ere sleep steals DER us.
Ere our wearied limbs we rest,
While imploring Heavens blessing
Upon those we love the best;
The long lost, and the absent,
The tender and the true,
Oh, Erin, mourning mother!
Do we ever pray for you?
Do we pray to Him who made thee
So beautiful and fair;
That He might raise thy dropping
head,
Lift thee from thy despair;
And take that chain Off thy white
neck,
Whose links have changed it's hue.
Oh, Erin, mourning mother!
Do we ever pray for you?
Yes, pray for thee, my mother,
And for all who love thee well,
Thy true-bOrn sons whose loyal hearts
For thee my pity swell;
Who've sworn to right thy burning
wrongs
Like thy fathers brave and true.
Oh Erin, mourning mother!
Oft I pray for them and you.
