IN MEMORY OF EMMETT.
Celebration at New York City Crane
Success


Success.
New York, Sept. 22.-The Academy
of Music was filled to overlooking
Sunday night by meeting held I'm.
der the auspices of the Clan-NaGael
to commemorate the centenary of the
martyrdom of Robert Emmett.
The auditorium was draped with
American and Irish flags, and the ma.
tional spirit found expression in con.
tinuous applause as the speakers dwelt
upon Irelands wrongs and the hopes
of Irelands sons.
State Senator Victor U. Bowling
presided.
Resolutions were passed declaring
the only proper settlement of the diff
ferences between Ireland and England
to be the abolition of English rule in
Ireland and pledging the Clan-Na-G Gael
to work for the establishment of an
Irish republic.

the cause OF liberty So long as there
is injustice the Irish will resent it. We
are here to renew the allegiance to
the cause for which Emmett died. We
are here to reaftirm our fealty to that
great principle upon which the Amer.
lean republic was founded, and upon
which Emmett wished to found an Irish
republic, namely, the natural right of
every nation to have the guidance Of
its own affairs. The right of indie
pendence is just as inherent in the
nation as the right to life and liberty
is in the individual. The highest right
in the world is to maintain the nations

The Duke of Wellington

o friends, our chief s~tate-oracle is
mute:
Mourn for the man of long-enduring
blood,
The statesman-warrior, moderate,
resOlute,
Whole in himself, a common good.
Mourn for the man of amplest in
fuence,
Yet ~clearest of ambitious crime,
Our greatest, yet with least ~pretence,
Great in council and great in war;,
Foremost captain of his time,
Rich in saving common-sense,
And, as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity sublime.
o good gray head which all men
knew.
o voice from which their omens all
men drew,
0 iron nerve to true occasions true.
A fall'n at length that tower of
strength,
Which stood four-square to all the
winds that blew!

THE HOME CIRCLE
Wages

Glory of warrior, glory of orator,
glory of song,
Paid with a voice flying by to be
lost on an endless sea-
Glory of Virtue, to fight, to struggle,
to right the wrong
Nay, but she aim'd not at glory, no
lover of glory she:
Give. her the glory of going on, and
still to be.
The wages of sin is death: if the
wages of Virtue be dust,
Would she have heart to endure for
the life of the worm and the
fly?
She desires no isles of the blest, no
quiet seats of the just,
To rest in a golden grave, or to
bask in a summer sky:
Give her the wages of going on,
and not to die.

THE ROMANTIC HISTORY OF THE
CHURCH

OLD CHURCH
Our party was piloted to the old
church, where we we're shown the n
ner wall of the original 1910 church
-"the first permanent religious edl-
fee erected by Englishmen in North
America" The church built some
years later (whose tower and lower
walls are still standing) was simply
an enlargement of the first church.
And what strange scenes are con-
iured up as we stand here! Here
Pocahontas was baptized and here IN
April, 1913, the Indian maiden and
worthy John Rolfe "knelt in the aisle
for a nuptial benediction." Lord
Delaware was doubtless here with his
attendants, for the church was built
by his direction, and the old records
still remind us of how he event in
full dress at the ringing of the bells,
attended by the lieutenant general,
the admiral, the vice admiral, master
of the horse, and the rest of his coun-
ell, with a guard of ffty-halberd-
bearers in red cloaks marching be-
hind him" Then six years later a
yet stranger figure darkened the
church door-an African slave, the
first to set foot on the soil of the
New World. Old Governor Yeardley,
whose grave is here in the chancel,
bought twelve of the twenty negroes
that were brought over, and was
therefore one of the first if not the
first American Shareholder. He had
slept here full two centuries before
the slave became the occasion of one
of the greatest wars of modern times,
and the sacred soil of old jamestown,
here by the side of the church itself,
was fretted into breastworks and the
silence of the old site broken by the
sound of warning soldiers. The same
year, 1919, that brought the slaves
brought also a cargo of wives for the
settlers, and it was in this old church
hat the damsels, so strangely wooed
and won, knelt with their n~ew-found
husbands to make their marriage
vows. The girls, it will be remem-
bered, were brought over by Sir Ed
win Sandys, we're of good character,
and there was perfect freedom in the
choice of mates. The only compul-
sorry feature was that requiring each
accepted sutton to pay the company
100 pounds of tobacco to defray the
expenses of his brides voyage. Mary
Johnson gives a vivid picture of the
wooing in the first chapter of "To
Have and to Hold"
I should like to say more of the
other historic fgures-bold men and
fine ladies, whose bodies long ago
crumbled into dust-that came at
times to this old church; Captain
John Smith, with adventures enough
to satisfy even Mary Johnson; Ma
thaniel Bacon, the hot-headed young
leader of Bacon's rebellion; William
Drummond the ill-fated Scotchman,
sometime Governor of North Carroll
ma; Sir William Berkeley, Drum

A Steamer Trip Down the James River.

n SGC614C4 Lip OO"H 49, jaws
But pleasant as was u Char
lottesville trip, that down the James
River Monday of last week was even
more delightful. It was an ideal
spring day, with breeze and sunshine
in just the right degree for comfort.
Many were the historic places we
passed-some suggestive of lordly
plantation life in the long ago, some
of the earlier days when c~olonist and
red man struggled with each other,
some of the fercer struggle forty
years ago when the Virginia fields
ran red with heroes blood. Malvern
Hill and Drewry's Bluff were pointed
out, and Shirley-birthplace of the
mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee CDR.
Lyman Abbott led a chorus of North
ern cheers at the mention of the
name) and Presque Isle, where Gen.
B. F. Butler was, according to Grant,
of as much service to the Union Gas
if he were cOrked up in a bottle"
LOWER BRANDON.
But our first stop was at Lower
Brandon, n of the most famous of
Virginia's colonial homes. It stands
a few hundred yards from the banks
of the James, from which it is sepa-
rated by a gently -sloping lawn,
adorned with fine old trees and beau
tiful, old-fashioned flowers. Roses,
wistaria and yellow jasmine are here
in profusion, and smaller flowers too
numerous to mention, while the but
tercups have made the adjoining
meadow a veritable "feld of the cloth
of gold" The house was built in
1912 of dark red brick, brought over
from England, and it has remained
ever since in the possession of the
Harrison family. Many a gay and
brilliant company has gathered be-
meath its roof, and many a famous
man has here enjoyed the best type
of Southern hospitality. Every
President from Washington to Lin
coin was at some time a guest at
Brandon.
But not every day has brought
sunshine for the stately colonial
home. The brick above the door bear
the marks of ~battering by Federal
gunners, and it is said that it was
only a message from Lincoln that
saved the house from complete de-
~struction by bluecoats. AS it was,
the slaves were carried away, the
barns and outhouses burned, the win
dows broken, walls defaced, and some
of the portraits of bewigged old
worthless stolen or destroyed.
THE OLD CHURCH AT JAMESTOWN.
Our last stop and the last place of
interest I visited was Jamestown-or
rather the jamestown site, for there
is nothing here now to remind the
visitor of the early settlement but a
crumbling church tower and a few
broken tombstones. Until a few
short years ago all these were left to
the tender mercies of time and tide
and tempest, but now the old church

CAR STOPS IN TIME.
Passengers Nearly NHed by a Bomb

Passengers Nearly kred by a 6oFrl1
on the Track.
Butte, Mont, Sept 20. That six
men We're not seriously injured or per-
thaps instantly killed just outside the
city limits last night was not the
fault of some cowardly person who
placed quantity of explosives on the
street railway track about 800 yards
east of the Northern Pacific crossing,
badly wrecking Car No. %, which was
on it's way from Columbia Gardens.
Fortunately no one was injured, the
passengers and street car employees
escaping with bruises, though the car
was wrecked. Motorman William G.
Schmidt detected the burning end OF
the fuse of the bomb, taking 1t for the
light of some one wishing to board the
car, turned off the current and ap-
piled the brakes. This act undoubted-
ly saved the lives of all, as had the
speed been unchecked the car would
have been directly over the bomb
when 1t went off. When within about
thirty feet of the bomb the explosion
occurred, throwing all to the floor and
covering them with the debris OF the
car. The floor was blown from the
car and the windows shattered to
fragments. The police have discoy-
eredn trace of the miscreants.

STATE ART SOCIETY.

For the purpose OF advancing
the interests of the fine arts, to
develop the influence of art in
education, and to foster the IN
PRODUCTION of art,in the manufac-
lures, the Minnesota state legls-
lature has enacted a law creating
the Minnesota State Art society.
1t will be the duty of this
society, in order to accomplish
these objects, to arrange exhlbl-
tions of art and art-handicraft,
prepare courses of popular lee.
lures on art and kindred sub
jects, to award prizes, and to &C
ouire works of art and artistic
manufacture for per i,iiie Il 6 ii
collection, to become the proper
ty OF the state art society. .
The law provides for the Gre
alton of a governing board, CON
sisting Of nine members, seven
of whom shall be appointed by
the governor. Of these APP
pointees four shall be artists or
connoisseurs of art, one an arch
itect, one prominently identified
with education, and one directly
interested in manufacture. The
governor of the state and the
president of the state university
will be ex-officio members OF this
board. All members serve with
out compensation as such.
Anyone presenting a work OF
art, executed by himself, and
which shall be accepted by the
governing board, may become an
honorary member for life. Any
one, upon the endorsement OF the
governing board and payment of
two dollars, may become a mem
Der for one year.
The first governing board has
been organized and consists, for
the most part, of residents OF
ST. Paul and Minneapolis. Greet
ings are being sent to all friends
of the arts IN the state. The SO
ciety will doubtless work great
benefit along certain lines to the
state.

the marketing of grain
President Mellen, interviewed yes

the Northern Pacific is safe beyond
all risk. AS it relates to Western
Minnesota, st. Paul officials believe
this figure is somewhat high. and that
the Minnesota wheat district as a
whole will not show more than IS per

The wheat not protected is mainly
that in shock. which has dried first
and is the first to be threshed on the
resumption of operations. With the
