THE IRISH LANGUAGE.
"s Enect on an Audience Described
by a south American.


Mr.. William Bulfin, editor of the
southern Cross, Buenos Ayres, recent
ly visited Ireland and attended feis
ceoil given in the city OF Galway. This
Is what he says of Irish oratory In the
native tongue:
II can only judge of Il, unfortunate
~, from two standpolnts-the sound of
1t and the effect it has upon an audi
ence. heard several Irish addresses
at the fels. All were I'm the same
style. The accent OF all the speakers
was more or less the same learned,
too, that each speaker dealt I'm plain.
concise, practical ideas and expressed
them In terse and vigorous modern
Irish So far so good. Here, then, Is
plain statement of how all this sound
ed to plain man.
AT first the sound of Irish oratory
is little harsh to the unframed and
unaccustomed ear but this is only for
a moment There is deep note of pas
sionate earnestness in the rugged mai
esty of the words, and there is n
siedgehammer power In the sonorous
roll OF the sentences. In the Irish there
are sounds as sibllant as the italian.
as mouth filling as the Spanish, as na-
sal as the French, as cultural as the
German and as deep as the English.
But the language resembles none of
these. 1t appears to belong to another
sphere altogether. 1t seems to have
been coined laboriously by men who
had grand and great and glowing things
to say to each other. 1t bursts impet-
uously in huge masses OF sound through
the sense of hearing and knocks thun-
derously at the heart and soul of n
man. And meantime it Is not uumu-
steal. 1t is not by any means fat or
sharp. But there is no fiuting about 1t.
There Is no whine in 1t. Its diapason
Is essentially masculine. 1t is the big
organ among the languages, with many
registers, able to run up and down the
gamut Of human feeling and touch ey-
cry responsible fiber of being and sound
the depths of joy and sorrow and
rouse to lofty passion and to the no.
blest endeavor. This 1 say from atten-
lively listening to the sound Of the lam
guage and observing its effects upon
the audiences who understood it.
In singing the Irish language Ia sim
guiarly sweet 1t is not the Italian
sweetness nor the German sweetness.
Tor the German in song is one of the
most musical languages. The sweet
ness in Irish song is unique, and YOU
cannot describe 1t. 1t has a wondrous
appeal In II. At the feis the test song
In one Of the competitions was Gulf
hfonn' (Coulin). When Caitilin Nj
Bhraonain Miss Kathleen Brennan)
sang it in the traditional style, il pulled
you all to pieces.
In the grand concert at the town
hall the choir from the Claddagh school
sang the Shan Van Vocht' 1 never
heard the silvery voices of children
blended SO melodiously. Their singing
was something extraordinary. How
such music could be evolved out of hu.
man speech was a mystery and at the
same time revelations; but, then. so
was the feis itself. 1t was grand. ONLY
for 1t my visit to Galway would have
given me more bitterness of soul than
could have shaken off in a month
AS 1T was, I left Galway with hope

ana hourished apace during recent
years in France none has taken root
with such tenacity as opium eating.
Opium smokers and opium eaters are
today numbered in the large cities by
thousands, and the absinth fend is
slowly but surely giving way to the
opium maniac. The government has
become alarmed at the situation, an,'

TWO towns where this pernicious hab.
Is most rampant are Marseilles and

since they differ entirely from the

and cumbersome affair that to a cas-
ual observer might readily be taken
FOR the framework OF a little hut. The
weaver does his work standing I'm this
loom, often two weavers working side
by side. With the Navajoes the women
do all the weaving, but the higher civil
lization of the Pueblos Is shown by the
fact that the men not only weave the
rugs, but prepare, clean and spin the
wool. The natives use only a high
grade OF native wool for their blankets
and rugs, cut from the sheep or An
CORA goat. The first process in prepar-

One OF the most highly cultured and
refined audiences that has been assem-.
bled for some time was found at the

1t was occasioned by the appearance Of
Miss Maynie Ware, humorous and dra-
matte reader, late of the Emerson Col.
lege or 0ratory, Boston, who completely
won the admiration of her audience on
the first recitation. Among the selec.
tons rendered we're "a Boys Story"
and at Wasn't Success" which were
of a very humorous nature and demon.

culture Miss Ware possesses along this
line. The closing selection was the ex:
citing Chariot Race, taken from the story
of ''Ben Hur" by Wallace. 1t was high
ly exciting and commanded the closest.
attention Of her appreciative audience.
Miss Wares work was characterized by
brilliancy and versatility, and was artis-
tic and refined. 1t was far above our ex-
pectations.-state Gazette, Pt. Pleasant.
