CHICAGO, Ills, Sept. 19.--lt will
be just one hundred years tomorrow
since Robert Emmet, In the twenty
sixth year Of his age, was hanged in
Kilmainham jail, in Dublin, for loyal
ty to his country, but what was con-
strued as treason TO the British gov
ernment by jury and judge.
For years the anniversary Of EN-
NETS death has been annually cele-
brated in Chicago and other cities of
America, and some Of the most brill
liant orators In the country have told
again ana again the thrilling story Of
the young patriots hazardous life
and ignoble death. But this year the
celebrations are to be Of still greater
Importance, some OF the most notable
OF them TO be held in this city. Colum-
bus, Buffalo, Philadelphia and else
where.
While, of course, interest naturally
centers In Emmett, the Irish-American
women have not forgotten his broken
hearted fiancee, Sarah Curran, whose
devotion 10 the martyred patriot has
never been forgotten by students OF
Irish history.
Sarah Curran was the daughter OF
John Philpot Curran, Ireland's most
brilliant attorney. In period con-
spicuous for Its wit, Curran's was the
brightest Of all. His was the most
genial nature that flowed and sparkled
at the social board. In a crowded
school Of orators, each one Of whom
was prominent and towering. he stool

fortunes Of bis country TO her
his love, his labors, his sorrows, the
inspiration Of his courage. the exhil,

A BETTER OUTLOOK.
Bulgarian Mobilization is Ape
piled Only to a Few Regi
ments and to Reinforce
Frontier Posts
AGENTS BUYING POWDER

LONDON, Sept, 19,-The associat-
ed press learns that war between Tur-
key and Bulgaria is not now regard
ed as imminent by the foreign office
or other diplomatic centers in London.
IT is stated that under no circum-
stance will the powers permit Turkey
to occupy Bulgarian territory, hence
Turkey has nothing to gain by hos
tilities.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 49,
Within the last twenty-four hours a
more reassuring feeling has prevailed
due to assurances received that Bull
garian mobilization is only applied to
few regiments and is intended for
the reinforcement Of frontier posts.
Further successes of Turkish
troops are reported and present
forces in Roumanian villages are con
sidered sufficient to cope with the
MI
situation.
BERLIN, Sept. 49, The Turkish
ministry has ordered 1000 pounds Of
smokeless powder at the Rottweil
works. Turkey has several agents
permanently residing in Germany who
buy supplies for the army and navy,
Turkey, seemingly is able to dispose
Of sufficient cash to pay for supplies,
as the German firms require money or
its equivalent on delivery.
PARIS, Sept. 19.-At a meeting oi
the council Of ministers today, For
eign Minister Delcasse announced
that Russia and Austria had declared
they would only intervene in Macedo
mia in order to hasten reforms.

object OF the extension Is to give
ready access to the new ice fields Of
the Aqua Pura company. At point
something more than a thousand feet
above the present terminus of the
road. one large dam is to be installed.
Fifteen hundred feet further on.
whore the great hills sweep together
to shelter broad basin which mar
rows 10 a ribbon. the last dam will be
placed.
The two new ponds will insure an
increase OF the ice harvest Of twenty
thousand tons, making the enormous
total winters output not less than
sixty thousand tons.
TO take care OF this immense sup.
ply several additional Ice houses viii
be needed and the regular winter
force OF workmen must be greatly
augmented. Already Supt. Pierce has
had three new houses erected and a
big force Of home men Is engaged on
others. The old Ice dams are being
repaired, but the work on tho new
ones has not yet commenced.
II is the intention to have the Ice
house equipped with electrical ma.
chinery 10 handle the large blocks of
ice and Supt Wallace is figuring on
putting In an electrical Ice cutter.
Work on the Scenic Route Is being
pushed rapidly forward. Assistant
Warden Pierce expects twenty-five adj
ditional men from Santa Fe within q
week or two. The best kind Of a road
Is being constructed and the glimpses
Of mountain. stream and green valley
from the points Of vantage along the
way are most alluring. A trip to the
canyon Is well worth while. and the
drive, or car ride will doubtless be
more popular than ever, while the
work Is going on.

Robert Emmet's fiancee was the

Robert Emmet's fiancee was the
daughter Of this great man. She was
one of the gentlest, the most amiable,
the simplest minded, the freest from
affectation, the most patient, the least
willful of womankind. and yet there
was no sacrifice she was not capable
Of making for the man she loved.
Through her devotion for Emmett.
Miss Curran had strained relations
between her father and herself. and in
her home life the patience and self
remuneration manifested by her were
indeed selfsacrificing Curran. un-
douatedly, treated his daughter with
hardness and severity, but Il cannot
be wondered at how yexatious TO him
must have been the arrest and execu,
tion OF Emmett. WHO was engaged to
his daughter, and which event left
him at the mercy Of the government
and rendered 1t necessary for him to
appear before the privy council in the
character. no longer Of an intrepid adj
socate for others, but Of a suspected
person who had To enter into explana-
tions Of his own conduct. Curran had
rendered himself obnoxious TO the
government by SO many years inereas-
Ing opposition To every administration
and BY the part he had taken in the
VARIOUS state trials from 1894 to 1888.
But all through this period Of tur-
moi and discomforts Of home Miss
Curran remained faithful to Emmett
but after his death she did not re-
main long in her fathers home. Her
Indebtedness found no alleyiation
there, and the very constraint i'm
posed on her freedom was productive
of additional misery. she quilted her
fathers house at length and went to
Cork. where, at the house OF Mr.
Penrose, Quaker. she met Captain
Sturgeon Of the Royal staff corps and
married him.

the Spectator forecast. that Balfour

long, attracts the greatest attention.
A curious phase Of the situation Is the
severe criticism. regardless OF party
lines. bestowed on Balfour's action In

In pamphlet form. The outlook.
which supported the premier, criu-
cises Balfour's indiscretion: Strikes

IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE.
No. 8 to Garry Pouch for Trinidad ana
All Points On c. & S.

Postmaster Blood yesterday receiv-
ed word from department headquar-
|ters in Denver, authorizing hi INTO es-
tablish a pouch service on No. 5 for
Trinidad, Colo, and all the points in
the eastern and southern part of the
territory whose mail goes via Trini-
dad How much this means for the
betterment of our service can only be
appreciated by those who have expe-
riencei the inconveniences Of the de-
lays in the exchange of mail between
this city and Clayton, Roswell and
other towns on the same route. For
merly, If letter was dropped in the
postoffice after the mail for No. 2
closed at 1:55, 1t lay there until the
afternoon of the next day when It was
sent out on No. 2. 1t would reach
Trinidad at 1880 in the evening, or
!; just little too late to catch the
evening train on the Colorado &
Southern. Consequently, it would
have to wait there about twenty-four
hours, or until the evening train Of
the next day, making 1t forty-eight
hours before letter dropped as
statei--for Roswell, for example
would get started out Of Trinidad. Ac-
cording TO the new plan, the letter,
instead of waiting in the home office
until the next day, will, II dropped
before $3.50 p m, go out that night
on No. 5, making closer connection
at Trinidad, and reach its destination
from thirty-six to forty-eight hours
sooner. The efforts of Mr.. Blood to
| improve the service from this Office
have been very successful ami will be
appreciated by the patrons OF the Of
flee. Only recently a pouch service
on No. / for Santa Fe and Albuquer-
que was established, greatly facilitat-
ing prompt communication between
these points.
