Boston, Oct. 21-The evening ses-
sion of the Irish league last night was
wildly enthusiastic, especially during
the speeches Of John Dillon ana
Michael Davitt and when the resolu-
tions which were adopted at the close
of the session were adopted amiu
cheers.
Dillon declared that the people of
Ireland are denied free speech, free
discussion in press and liberty of pub
lie meeting and trial by jury. He re-
counted the experiences of the Irish
leaders in trying to address public
meetings. Davitt told of the member
ship of the league. Citing a statement
of General Botha that if 5000 Irishmen
had gone from America to help the
beers after Paardeburg, the power Of
England would have Teen smashed IN
south Africa, Davitt declared he be-
lieved the brethren in this country at
that time deserted the cause Of Ireland
in not fighting against England.
The platform and resolutions pledge
the convention to undying allegiance
in the cause of Ireland's independence,
assert the right of the Irish race to

means of honorable weapons; the be-
lief that the leaders in Ireland are

The citizens OF Mortified started
in pursuit of the desperadoes, who mad

James and the remainder Of the out

All of the three Younger brothers

charge of murder in the first degree
and were given life sentences.

Younger, Quantrell raider, member Of
Jesse James gang, who with his
brothers, Cole and Bob Younger, was
sentenced to lie imprisonment in
1877 for the Mortified. Mimi, bank

ward, committed suicide yesterday in
the Reardon hotel in this city. He
was insane.
The dead ex-bandt was found with
a revolver clinched in his right hand.
He had used his left hand to steady
he revolver when he held it to his
temple. His clothes were neatly
,olded, and everything in the room
showed he had made careful prepare
ions to end his life. On the table in
he room the following note was
tound:
cit is all due to politics. That w. J.
Bryan was the greatest man on earth,
and that there is no personal Cod"
On bureau in the room was found
long manila envelope, on one side
u WHICH WAS WILCLSu.
"To all that is good and true I love
and bid farewell. Jim Younger"
On the other side of the envelope
were these words: 80, LESSEE, good-by.
All relatives, just stay away from me.
No crocodile tears wanted. Reporters,
be my friends. Burn me up
Jim Younger"
The envelope contained a package
If letters that had passed between
Younger and a woman with whom he
IS said to have been in love. The
woman, who is prominently connected,
is said to have reciprocated his affec-
zion, and it was reported at one time
hat rney were to be married. Her
relatives raised objections, and a
iurther obstacle was the fact that it
was pointed out that a paroled pris-
)ner could not legally contract a mar
:iage.
The couple determined to disregard
he objections OF relatives and ali
effort was made to overcome the
ther obstacle to their marriage by
securing from the state board Of par
Ions a full pardon and restoration to
citizenship This effort failed, and
his. it is thought, had much to do
With Younger's determination to end
lis life.
On July 10, 1901, Jim and Cole
Zounger were released from the state

"A. Robinson at Topeka to Meet Rock

A. \. Robinson, president of the Mex

Topeka and his private car, Mexican
Central No. 10, is at the Rock Island
station there. Mr.. Robinson spent
Monday forenoon in visiting at the

with Assistant General Passenger

and it is announced he Will leave for

On the uncultivated stretches which
occupy the main portion of the region,
flocks of sheep are grazed, and don
keys and "burros." and IL one of the
latter so far forgets himself as to in
trude on a corn field and regale his
pallet with the juicy plant, one of his
ears Is cut off as punishment. A second
offense causes the loss of the other
ear, giving the animal a grotesque
look.
At least a years supply is always
kept on hand to guard against a failure
of crops and consequent famine, but
nevertheless they usually have a good
deal to sell. Watermelons are also
piled up in storage the same as the
corn. in the secluded inner rooms, and
so wonderfully dry and aseptic is this
wonderful air of Arizona that the wat
ermelons are easily kept owe until the
following February at least. The wri-
ter has seen them and eaten them in
that month, but as they were perfectly
sound it is likely that they endure a
month or six weeks longer.
In preparing corn for eating the
Moki has his own method, similar, how
ever, to that of other tribes in his own
condition and kind of culture, and
learned not from the white man. but
from his fathers. his grandfathers and
many times great grandfathers. First
it is reduced to meal. A mill, or me-
tate, in this region consists of a thin
flat slab of sandstone set up at an an
gle of about of thirty-five degrees. sur
rounded by a curb of fiat stones or
boards to prevent the meal from scat
tering. Usually there are three in a
| fnur of thnCn urindinu Clnhc honly nF
the higher side of which the operators,
the young girls of the household kneel,
and with a rubbing stone crush the
grain, each carrying the process one
step farther unless the requisite degree
of fineness is arrived at on the last
stone.
This work is usually accompanied
by singing of a peculiar sort-a shrill
high note, varied and vibratory-that
suggests the sons of the priestess in
the opera of Aida" This singing goes
on and on in a monotonous way, filling
the surrounding air with its weirdness,
till one is half ready to believe himself
a deniZen of another world.
Then the meal is taken in hand by
the housewife. She mixes it in a large
bowl with water, adding a small guam
tity of wood ashes as a leaven, and
seats herself beside the oven where a
fire has been previously kindled. This
oven is composed of a long, fat smooth
stone, and adjusted in a horizontal po-
sition with one edge against the wall
the other resting on a second stone,
thin and on its edge, and the end be-
meath the chimney, so that a fire may
be built beneath.
Dipping her hand into the prepared
batter she sweeps it across the surface
of the smooth hot stone, spreading a
film Over the entire top, which is i'm
mediately baked. Upon this two more
films are usually spread, the whole
forming a thin sheet, resembling very
coarse wrapping paper of a soft, blush
color. in size about one foot by two or
three. This is peeled off and folded up,
and stacked on a basket tray. It is pal
atable and nutritious, and in combina.
ton with peaches or watermelon is
agreeable and refreshing.
