Grainne MhaOl.

There's sorrow ut our mothers heart;
her eyes are dim to-day,
For all the cherished dreams she
nurs'd are vanishing away;
There are vacant seats by many
hcartlls; and from all sides comes
the tale
That the true and brave
Fly DER the wave
From dear old Grainne NIhaol!
Where the cabin rose in the olden
time and the thin blue smoke I'M
c,lrlcd
Where rcigned the smiles that made
our isle the gem land of the world,
Ills the strangers COW is grazing now.
and the bodagh, cold and pale,
Usurps the place
OF the ancient race
Who worsliipped Grainne Mhaol
AT tile Sunday Mass where the neigh
DER.
But Titles left of all the throng that
used to crowd the door.
\ few grey heads, Il few fierce hearts
ut fortunes frowning rail,
But scarce a face
With will to chase
| I'he grief of Grainne Mhaol.
For Doubt sits brooding on the hill;
Despair stalks through the glen,
And not Il voice goes through the land
to rouse her earnest men;
Have all the memories of the past for
saken town and vale,
That not hand
In all the land
Is raised for Grainne Mhnol?
Oh! shame, If even one survives to
point the way, to dawn,
That men should fear, to tread the
path the true and brave have gone
Oh! bitter shame that feud should SAP
tho strength that could prevail
Ger fraud and might
10 chase the night
OF woe from Grainne Mhaol!
Have all the hopes our fathers held
been handed down in vain,
Must all the thoughts that cheerei
their lives be never known again;
Must silence fill the fields and far ant
coming ages hail
Forgotten graves,
Unthinking slaves,
The need Of Grainne Mhaol!
No, no! across the thund' ring wave!
the answer rings full high:
No. no! re-echoess many a heart be
meath the Irish, sky,
The land shall wake, her eXiled sons
across the seas shall sail,
Once more to set

ON lov'd old Grninne NIhaol!

rested his foot. He now sat on the
brass bar of the bed, and was APP
parently entirely oblivious of any I'M
comfortabeness. With his right hand
he emphasized each sentence with a
grace which showed him to be as
much an actor as playwright.
1.-THE English actor, and perhaps the
American, too, in learning play,
spends the first twenty days on the
positions and poses and eight days
on the speech. Our actors We're accus-
toned to spend Il month on the speech
and week on the poses. An actor
would rehearse and rehearse line
until he spoke it unconsciously and
with unfettered fervor Then it was
Theater society, in which Irish plays
were played, as we'll as written, by
Irishmen. From that time on our
work succeeded. We even went to
London and filled the Queens Gate
hall, which, though not exactly Il barn,
can boast of few of the glorics of the
ordinary playhouse. The Londoners
gave us good box receipts and the
press treated us gracously. l suppose
you wonder how our actors could be
actors and shop people too. | don't
suppose it would be possible in Ameri-
ca. Nevertheless, our company often
played in villages several hours ride
performer would he back at work the
next day. I remember one instance as
an Illustration. We were to produce
Kathleen Nj Houlihan,' Il play Of
Irish peasant life. 1t is only one act,
and has cast of five. One set of
scenery is sufficient, and it is as easily
went out to the village of Loughrca
County Galway. three hours out of
Dublin. 1t was Il holiday night, so
we arrived on time, and had Il re-
hearsal in the village hall before the
performance. The whole village was
there to see us, and we had their APP
plause throughout. Our company
stayed in the village that night, rose
at 4 the next morning, and were back
Mt work as if they had remained in
Dublin the whole night. The plays
that we produce are not in Gaelic, but
English. Nevertheless a movement
has sprung up, which is due to the
Gaelic league as we'll rs to our efforts,
to produce Irish plays in the ancient
Irish language. DR.. Douglas Hyde,
president of the Gaelic league, has
written several plays, which have been
produced in Dublin With great success.
Plays in Gaelic have also been produc-
ed in many parishes of Ireland under
the auspices of Catholic priests. Most
of these dramas have been written by
Father Peter O'Lcary. Indeed, Dublin
was invaded by two Gaelic companies
recently and both drew crowded hous-
es. One play at the Rotunda drew
nightly audiences of 5000 persons.
Out of the 100000 inhabitants of Ire
land. only 100000 in the western coun-
ties speak Gaelic in their homes. Yet
throughout the island the language is
now being studied Zcalously."
The plays of Mr.. Yeats arc staged
with remarkable simplicity. THE
Kings Threshold" for example, is pre-
sented with scenery which is entirely
gray. The curtain is gray. The cos
tunes are gray. Even the pitcher on
the table is gray
''For this reason said the poet
''the thought appeals to the mind so
much the more powerfully. The eye
does not distract the brain by calling
it's attention to gaudy clantrap,'

BAND PLAYS FOR.

There was no concert given up town
last night by the Government band.
The reason was that Captain Berger
and his music-makers played twice on
the waterfront yesterday, once at noon
when the Kinau departed, and again
at 3 o'clock when the w. G. Hall,
Claudine and other small steamers left
for other islands. The innovation at
tracted a small crowd, although there
were more bandsmen there than pas

CHINA RUCkED
AGAINST WINDS

Bucking against heavy head winds
and seas all the way from Yokohama to
Honolulu the steamship China was
held back a little over twenty-four
hours in arriving at this port. The
steamship came into port yesterday
evening and moored alongside the
Bishop wharf at GAS O'Clock No hur-
ricanes or gales were met with, but the
persistency of the heavy winds and
seas against which the steamship had
to work the entire distance, kept her
speed down. The China, under usual
conditions. should have arrived here
Monday evening. She brought 1860 tons
of freight for Honolulu. Only two pas
sengers came to this port-Mrs Nor
man E. Gedge. wife of Treasurer Gedge
of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company, who has been spending the
past two years in Japan, and Mr. w.
Won Bunsen. The first class passengers
for San Francisco numbered sixty per-
sons, and it will be a tight squeeze for
those who are booked from Honolulu to
get berths. One gentleman who was
on hand when the steamer arrived
found that he could not obtain a cabin
for himself and wife, although his
daughters could be accommodated.
After comforting with various of the
ships officers the purser was finally in
iuced to part with his cabin for
which will swell his
purse.
