Peasant Costume. In ireland.

A certain number of peasants in the
wilder and remoter districts of Ireland
still wear something like a national
costume. About Tough Mask plenty of
the lasses are to be seen in picturesque
red petticoats that artists loved to
bring into their sketches of Irish life.
A sprinkling of the old high hats may
be seen. The older fishermen wear
them. but the younger school shun such
antiquated headgear, as the English
peasant OF today does the smock frock.

MEN OF MATURE YEARS
HOLDING BIG POSITIONS

No fact of the new century is more
obvious than that men and women
are younger than they used to be af-
ter crossing the equator of age. So
universal is increased longevity with
intellectual and physical power in ac-
tivity that the most conspicuous fig
ures in the world today, the advance
guard of 1902, present an unprece-
dented array of human interest, pic
turesque, dramatic, multifarious.
In the. world of letters the advance
guard consists of Tolstoi and Ibsen,
each nearly IS, and although both
have been reported i'll both continue
to live and Tolstoi to work all the
time, Ibsen part of the time. After
them are Mark Twain. 81; Stedman,
90; Swinburne, 65; Howells, 65.
In politics the British empire is
still paramount and the paramount
figure of the British empire is Sails
bury, -.
Monarchs are represented in this
advance guard by Christian IN of
Denmark, 81, and Francis Joseph of
Austria, who, at ~, complacently
faces the most battling discord of
centrated in a single reign.
Americans, it is said, live faster
than any other people. They should
therefore live shorter lives. But Hoar
leads the senate at 76. Chief JUS
tice Fuller is in mellow prime at 90.
Grover Cleveland re-enters public life
at 65. Our frolicsome representative
at the court of st. James, Joseph
Choate, is 6S; a little older is Ambas-
sador White at Berlin. Ambassador
Porter at Paris, ever young, is 65.
Among men of affairs Chauncey De-
pew has taken day off to get mar
ried at 6S and so deliberately that he
was content with no fwer than three
ceremonies. Bishop Potter is mill
tant at 81. The captains of industry,
as Carlyle called trade Leaders, are
represented in the advance guard by
Andrew Carnegie capering over con-
tinents and islands at 65.
In the advance guard are the three
busiest women of two centuries. Eli
zabeth Cady Stanton, 81; Julia Ward
Howe, So, and Susan B. Anthony, 50.
Far in advance of the advance
guard is n serene but ethereal fig
ure at %. Leo NH says mid
night service for Christmas and an
nounces resumption of diplomatic
receptions after New Years.
Education is not without delegates
in the advance guard of 1902. Angel
at % continues to direct the Univeri-
sity of Michigan and President Eliot
at 6S is blithe under the elms of Cam
bridge.
Contemplation of the advance guard
of 1902 shows that nature, always in
rhythm, never rhymes. No two of
this extraordinary array are alike in
essential particulars. All prove that
it is the eye that makes the horizon
in life as in nature. The most sue
cessful of the guard are they who
have habitually toiled along the line
of greatest resistance. All have had
the sagacity to place as far away as
possible from the struggle of the in
slant the imaginary line uniting the
heavens and earth. Therein lies,
the secret of their longe-
witty. They never exaggerated the
present In the PARKWAY future, for
whose opportunities they knew how
to wait, they always discerned the
rose dawn on the Detachable noun
Chronicle.

Early yesterday morning there was
a bad accident on the Telegraph road.
William Behring was standing on the
tongue of the wagon to adj
just the harness on one of his horses.
when the animals took notion to
run away and threw him down be-
tween them, SO that one of the wheels
ran over his head and otherwise in
ured him about the body. H. sus-
jured him about the body. He sus-
side of the head and over the LEFT eye,
as well as a deep cut on the back of
the head. The flesh on one of his
arms was torn severely. On account
of the great amount of blood lost the
patient is not considered as being nut
of danger, though his chances of re-
cOvery are deemed good.

It's a good thing that Ed Barofsky,
young Davenport plumber, has used
his jacknife to cut good deal of lead
pipe during the last few weeks; other
wise he might have had the charge of
murder to answer for yesterday, in
stead of simple charge of assault
with intent to do great bodily injury.
Sunday noon Barofsky and Gus
Kuehl, a Davenport timer, were
lunching in the place formerly kept
by Emil Speth at Second and Scott
streets. \ quarrel led to blows, and
after getting a hard one in the eye
Barofslly pulled his knife. He opened
the small blade, fortunately, and
Kuehl was distinctly fortunate that
his wild blows did no more damage.
One slash let blood out of his neck
although his double collar stopped
most of the force of the blow. His
clothes were'cut through in three or
four other places and couple of the
cuts had to be sewed up.

His Views Hav- Greatly
Changed.

Hon H St Geo Tucker i'll his
srlendid address at the opening ex-
ercises of Roanoke College said
that the first public speech he ever
made was in opposition to the pub
lie free-school system but that the
more he had studied the subject the
more firmly convinced he became
that the position then taken was
wrong and that he had long since
put his seven league boots on in an
effort to overtake and undo any
harm that first speech might have
done. Certain it is that his eloquent
voice is now earnestly pleading on
all occasions for an extension anc
enlargement of the opportunities fo'
public education and bis arguments
in that behalf are simply unan
swerable. He is doing a splendid
and effective work along that line
and the pity is that his eloquen
plea cannot be heard by every OPP
ponent of the system.
