the old-time Chippewa pilots, class
of men that are long since numbered
Il riverman was one of adventures.
He was one of the best known char
acters, and many are the good old
stories related of him around the
campfire and on the raft. He was al
ways jovial, kind-hearted and ever
ready to extend a helping hand to the
needy. He was a veteran of the

slightly different and higher type of

Z. The High Comedy Irishman.-Of
his class the best example is the Sir
Lucius O'Trigger of the late VIM. j.
Florence. This is the Irish gentle
man of the highest class, with only
enough brogue left to add piquancy to

8. The operate Irishman.-Jeffer-
son de Angels, who has just opened

Sullivan's Emerald Isle" is expected
to give the world the best example of
CHS type from comedy standpoint,
while in the grand opera of Brian
Boru" the Irishman who sings only
heroic numbers gets his opportunity.
There are any number of other stage
Irishmen who cannot be put in any
one of these classes, but who have
about them some of these qualities
Of several of the distinctly marked
types. Some of the higher types of
burlesque Irishmen even show in adj
ditiOn to their rough wit and humor
many of the traits which make the
sentimental and heroic Irishmen so
attractive. They are full of character
contrasts, and for that reason make
some of the strongest and most de-
lghtful studies OH the stage.
On the whole, it may be fairly said
that no one need be ashamed of the
stage Irishman. His average is high
and he cuts dashing and picturesque
figure on the stage. as he does in real
life. If the Irishman really wants to
be left OH the stage, he must stop
being witty, attractive, romantic and
adventuresome. There are Irishmen
now living in Chicago whose careers.

The census commissioners return of
the 7,74O female migrants that left the
Irish ports for temporary work in
England and Scotland by no means
represents the extent of this evil.
AS the mode of life of the girl mi.
grants while in England, Bridget
VGallagher, Achill, in her evidence
before the Royal Commission, stated
that she was one of great many girls
that went to Scotland. On arrival at
Paisley she took lodgings for the
hight In the town, and next day got
two days. work ON u farm near at
hand, lodging in Paisley, and she next
went to another farm a mile and a half
from Paisley, where she worked for
week. Her lodgings in Paisley cost
81 night. Then she took train to
part of the country she did not know.
Where she was month lifting pota-
toes. She worked for a month ON
farm in Dumfries, some other girls
working ON neighboring farms. She
next went ten or twelve miles by train
and worked two weeks ON another
farm, and afterwards worked OH three
other Perthshire farms. She described
the work as not very hard, but they
were much exposed to the wet, and
some OF the girls got knocked up.
Some of the people gave them small,
dark places to sleep in, but some were
good. This girl was sixteen years
of age when she gave her evidence,
and was only fifteen when she wan
dcred about a strange country in the
manner she described.
Mary O'Driscoll, who also gave evil
dence, was eighteen years of age, and
had then been to Scotland for four
successive years, and her sister, aged
sixteen, had been there twice. With
her little sister she had travelled over
three shires, finding employment in diff
ferent places, and had slept in barns.

About ten thousand Irish girls have
each year to face the privations and
dangers of wandering through Great
Britain under the conditions detailed
by the witnesses.
The terrible urgency of this ques-
ton in it's bearing on Irish woman
hood would he but half understood if
only the number of girl migrants were
considered. Side by side with this
annual migration of several thousand
girlS-mOSt of them of tender age,
who spend half the year wandering
through England and Scotland to seek
employment at the harvest-is the
emigration from Connacht. The num-
Der Of girl emigrants who left Con-
nacht for America and other places to
return no more. during the decennial
period to the census Of 1900, was
G0,SG3, giving an average OF seven
thousand per year, and representing
22h per cent. of the female popula-
lion Of the province. In 1900, the last
year for which the returns are COM
pletcd, the number of girl emigrants
from Connacht was 5000. In the
same year the female emigration from
Ireland was 23,S12.

GRAVITY OF VENEZUELAN STU
ALTON,

That the representatives at Wash
considers the situation very grave is
shown by the fact that they withheld
for twenty-four hours the replies of
their governments to Mr.. BOWen'S pro-
test against the demands of the three
powers for preferment in the distribu-
don of the Venezuelan customs re-
oeipts which the latter has pledged TO
devote to paying her Indebtedness to
foreign nations having claims against
her. In addition to this one of these
representatives has drafted and sent to
his government a proposition in the
nature of a compromise. This plan
will be acceptable to Venezuela, it is
said, if those nations outside the allied
powers will agree TO it. The PROPOSE
taon is that England, Germany and
Italy shall receive all of the customs
duties set aside for the payment of
foreign debts for the term Of six
months and after that time the other
governments shall share equally with
these three.
Negotiations will be at i standstIll
now until replies are had to this propo-
Sition- In the mean time France is be-
coming very FESTIVE at the continuance
Of the blockade. Under treaty with
Venezuela the latter has pledged to de-
vote thirteen per cent of ner customs
to the payment of her claims, which
have already been adjuGicated. The
blockade, OF course, prevents Venezuela
from carrying out this stipulation II
France may not agree to this compro-
mise proposition. She is in a position
TO prevent this or the original demands
of the allied powers being carried out
except by force of arms.
In the meantime the United States
government is pursuing its usual
waiting policy We are in exactly
the same position toward the question
as France, and it remains to be seen
whether we will join her in demanding
our rights or stand aside and let
these three powers gobble up all the
funds Venezuela a raise to devote
10 her foreign debts.

MISS GREER'S ASSAILANT.
In Negroes Preliminary Trial-Re-
manded Without Privilege of
Bond.

Hubbard Terrell, the negro assailant
OF Miss Ellen Greer was taken before
Mayor Eaton last evening for his pre-
urinary hearing. He a brought
to the city building by several police
men and taken into the court room
where he was carefully watched
There was some little delay owing to
the late arrival Of J. S. Lanier, color
ed. who has been employed to defend
Terrell.
Miss Greer was accompanied to the
court room by her father, J. II. Greer,
her sister, Miss Lottie, her br>ther, u.
S. Greer. of Greensboro, and w. NJ.
Hendren. of the law firm of Glenn.
Manly & Hendren, which have been
retained to assist in the prosecution.
Miss Greer was dressed in black and
self-possessed, but very pale, and
showed the effects Of the terrible
strain which she has been under.
Terrell took the witness stand and
the warrant read to him. He pleaded
not guilty and resumed his seat by
the side of his counsel.
. Miss Greer. Officer Pratt and LizZe
Douthit, colored, were sworn in as
witnesses for the state. The defense
had no witnesses.
Miss Greer took the stand and re-
peated the story as published in yes
terday's Journal, only emitting some
of the details. She answered all ques-
tons in a clear n perfectly self
possessed manner, and repeatedly
faced the negro and was asked if she
was certain that Terrell was the right
man and she said yes. Lawyer Lanier
asked the witness several questions
and she answered them in splendid
shape.
The defendants lawyer offered no
testimony, stating to the court that
he did not deem it necessary to take
I'D the time of the court hearing any
further testimony and Mayor Eaton
bound Terrell over to the next term
of the superior court without bail.
During the examination by Lanier
Miss Greer suddenly faced the negro
and in a loud clear voice she started
to say something to him, but n was
stopped by her counsel.
Terrell kp~t his seat in the 1r
the court until the great crowd which
had gathered to hear the testimony
had mostly dispersed when he was
taken to the county Jail. Several Off
| GERS accompanied him to the jail and
saw that he was locked securely in
A crowd of several hunder stood al
the corner of the city building and
watched the little bunch Of men con-
duct the prisoner to the jail.
A Journal man called at the Jail i'm
mediately after court adjourned ano
tried to interview the prisoner. He
said he had nothing to say, but that
he was the wrong man. Terrell seems
to appreciate the trouble he is in and
is pretty nervous
One colored man was beaten W
pretty badly by a young white man
Just after the hearing. On Main street
The negro remarked that the evidence
of the young lady not being su.bstan-
tiater and he was taken to account.
Considerable talk of lynching was
heard but no trouble is expected by
the authorites.-Winston Journal jan

The accident on Princess street yes
terday afternoon clearly demonstrates
two things-street cars should not be
allowed to run in this city unless they
are equipped with Tenders n the city
should be provided with an ambulance

We do not suppose there is anoth-
err city of the population of Whining
ton which allows trolley cars without
tenders to be run along it's principal
business and residence streets. Our
city authorities had better attend to
this before there are more and worse
accidents. If the city allows cars that

zens to be run upon our streets is il
not liable as well as the street car
company for any injuries that any of

guilty but the jury acquitted the two

The governor says those who prose-

burning is true and that he was the

CONFEDERATE VETERANS RE
UNIONS.

Through Adjutant General William
H.. NickIe. General John B. Gordon,
commander Of the United Confederate
Veterans. issues a general order call
ing the attention to the provision in
the constitution of this association
tI 1t divisions shall hold annual re-
unions. This the general says Is COM
mandatory and imperative. The an
nual division eunions must be held at
places within the jurisdiction of the
divisions. The holding of such reun-
Tors at the general reunion is not con-
templated by the constitution of that
body and are clearly in c~ontravention
Of the spirit OF it's terms. These meet
ines should be held within the juris-
them accessible to all delegates to
such reunions. 1t is not air to these
to hold such meetings at the general
annual reunion.
1t seems to US that it should not be
necessary for the commanding officer
to call attention 70 the d~esirability of
carrying out this provision Of the con-
Sutution Of the United Confederate
Veterans. AS years go by and the
number of survivors of the Lost Cause
flows less and less at each annual
meeting, whether of the entire body
Or Of members of division, brigade or
regimental organizations the ties of
somradship and old memories should
draw the survivors closer and closer
together. There should be greater in
terest In these meetings. and every
measure should be taken to so ar
range such reunions tina the greatest
number of old veterans could attend.
The time will soon come when the
ranks of the old heroes will be so
thinned that there will be few to at
tend the reunions. Then while there IS
t1me left let these meetings be so ar
ranged as to give the greatest opportu-
nifty for attendance upon them. Let
each division and regiment organiza-
tson observe faithfully the require
Guirements prescribed for these annual
meetings. Let every thing be done 10
bring to gether on each annual con-
slave as many as possible of the old
veterans who as long as life lasts will
hove to meet and renew the friend
ships formed in camp and on battle
Geld.
The commanding officer at the same
time gives notice that the next gener-
nj reunion, the thirteenth annual as
semblage OF the Confederate Veterans,
will be held in the city OF New Orleans
On May 18th. goth, 21st and 22nd. next.
he also announces that there are now
t,4se camps in the association. To this
meeting all sons of Confederate Vet
Grams and all Daughters of the Con-
federaCy are cordially invited. The
commanding general also urges that
camps already organized and those to
be organized will set about creating
greater interest in this reunion. Let
Us hope that this assemblage will be
the greatest ever held by the old he
roes Of the COnfederacy, their sons and
their daughters. and let US all strive
to make it such. In the mean time
de not overlook the reunions of the
subdivisions of his grand organic
alton.

So Captain Hobson settles the ques-
ton as to his fitness for remaining in
active service in the navy by resign
ing. He has for a long time claimed
that his eyes were SO injured during
his work of raising the Spanish war
ships sunk by Dewey in Manila bay
as to unfit him for service; but the ex-
aiming BOARD declared otherwise and
refused to recommend him for retire
ment. The fact that he leaves the
nav rather than be forced upon &C
tive duty shows that he is sincere in
his belief that he is not physically
qualified to do such work. whether the
two examining boards are correct or
not in Their conclusions as to his con-
dition. We are glad Captain Hobson
has had the firmness to stick to his
position, but are sorry it forces him
to give up his chosen calling in life.

The friends in the senate of the Ap-
palachian park bill should take a hint
from Senator Quay's course as to the
omnibus statehood bill. He has tackled
this measure as a rider on two of tn !,
nnua appropriation bills. The senate
has already passed the park bill and
a large majority of the members of
the house, where it is now pending ara
in favor of it; but because Speaker
Henderson opposes it it will not be al
lowed to be taken up at this session.
The minority of the house should be
forced to accept it as a part of one of
the big appropriation bills or shoulder
the responsibility for the failure of
passage of the latter.
