worse NIeht Than IndIcated.

London, June 2j.-Private informa-
tion from Buckingham palace sub
stantially bears out the official bull
Ietin issued at 1920, except the king
had rather a worse night than was
indicated therein. His majesty, how
ever, is resting easier.
The announcements by the physi-
clans of his majesty's restlessness
and lack of sleep are regarded by the
general public as by no means reas-
surfing, although court officials pro-
fess satisfaction. The absence of all
mention of the patients tempera-
turc causes comment, although prob
ably the statement that up to the
present no untOward symptoms
presented themselves" is intended to
Indicate there has been no danger

Irish Heroes at Bunker Hill.

y good many years ago on the night
before the 18th of june" regiment
WAS preparing to march across
Charlestown Neck to aid the handful
Of continental soldiers who had
thrown up redoubts on Breeds HILL"
The regiment which was preparing
to make the advance across the neck
was one for whom glory and fame
We're both waiting with open ans.
1t was to become, perhaps, the most
noted in the field that day and to give
to history great number Of individual
heroes. Colonel John Stark command
ed it, and it was made up almost en-
tirely of Irish boys from New Hamp-
shire. Colonel Stark himself was an
Irishman, and it is said was big,
good-natured, firm, and the possessor
of a very fluent brogue. says the Bos-
ton Republic.
Once on the field Stark was directed
to take his regiment we'll to the front
to the rail fence at the base Of the hill.
Stark had the most important position
in the line and the attack against him

was led by General Howe in person.
The stand made Stark and his men
heroes and their reputation has sur
vived them to this day.
Individually among them are four
men whose deeds overshadow all the
rest. They are: Andrew McClary,
Lawrence Sullivan, John Dillon and
Daniel McGrath. Each Of the four
gave his life for the freedom of his
country, and each performed some sig
nal act Of bravery. McClary was a
major in Stark's command. He was Il
big fellow six and half feet high
with a remarkable reputation for fear
lessness and decision. On the night
after the fight he volunteered to ride
to Medford for supply Of bandages
for the wounded AM. worked his way
past the British lines to that city, re-
turning at daybreak to the field,
ing men. Not satisfied with this and
though somewhat worn out after his
long ride and wakeful night he volun-
teered to reconnoitrc the British lines.
With companion he pushed for
ward over the hill and was hidden be-
hind small thicket Of bushes sur
vcying the enemys position, when he
was surprised by scouting party
from the British lines. He and his
companion, though outnumbered, put
up a gallant fight and succeeded in
wounding three of the British before
they fell. McGlary, fighting to the
last breath, propped himself up and
discharged his pistols, then fell back

crosstown railroad, which was con-
trolled by Jacob Sharp, who afterwartl
gave the name of doodle alderman
to the world. On rising to sum up on
behalf Of his client Nolan launched
forth into an attack upon Sharp, who
had in no manner appeared in the case.
Raising his voice to pitch that could
be heard by citizens in City Hall park,
he concluded his peroration as follows:
"And who, gintlemen of the jury, is
Jacob Sharp? I will tell you, gintle-
men. He is man so lost to all his
sinse Of ethics and the rights of man
that for the sake of palthry prospec-
tive dividends he would run railroad
up your spine and make ties out of
your ribs!'
When the bar of the city of New
York gave dinner at Delmonico's in
honor of former Justice Abraham r..
Lawrence on his retirement from the
bench, one of the remarks Nolan made
was:
There's Recorder Symth. He's a
good judge, foine judge, but he
thinks livery man ought to 80 to prison
at least vance,"
Nolan on one occasion was candi-
date for municipal Office, and in the
course of his canvass he asked wo-
man of his acquaintance if she would
use her influence in obtaining for him
her husbands vote. "Sure, will,'
said the woman. "Are we not ever
lastingly grateful to you ever since
you got my husband off for stealing a
gum"

barrister, mot for stealing a gun, but

woman. Come up stairs and I'll show

Once arguing case in behalf d
clients who were sailors and while in
the midst of an exhaustive display of
nautical scholarship Nolan was inter
rupted by the court:
'How comes it, counselor, that you
possess such vast knowledge of the
sea 2"
Does your honor think" responded
Nolan, that came over in a hack"

swept open, and though soon shot
through both arms and wounded in
the leg he still advanced and delivered
his message. On his return a shot
struck him in the head, killing him
instantly.
Most spectacular Of all, however,
was the feat Of Daniel McGrath, who
rushed forward between the lines to
rescue a flag of the regiment. He
grasped the precious banner, but was
quickly wounded in the leg and cap
tured by the British. He fought des-
perately with the butt Of his gun
when they came to bear him off, and
could only be moved after having been
rendered insensible by a blow on his
head. He was removed to one Of the
British warships and died there from
his injuries.
Besides these four there were more
than 800 other Irishmen engaged in
the fight, all Of whom fought valiantly

many of Boston's prominent citizens

Stark and his four heroes did much
for Americas cause at Breeds Hill.

Young men of All Hallows', living

age, in a great country; we live in an
age when man has mastered many of

subservient to his control in country
Of boundless possibilities. He who

of those that believe that the God of Ma
lions has ordained that America is not

He should help in the bringing of edu-

dispelling the clouds of bgotry that
befog the intellect of the weak; in
teaching the people that the darkness
of the Middle Ages and the religious
strifes of the last three centuries must
not be engrlfted on our national life;
in making others see that European
political institutions cannot exist under

ing the young and the foreigner who

ease, of social life, of personal liberty
are not compatible with the American
system of government.
You should lend your aid in crushing
the dangerous doctrines of anarchy,
you should not be led away by the
rawlings of ranting rhetoricians, who
represent no political party when they
declare that destiny has prescribed for
