THE HILL OF TARA
Will Be Sold at Auction to the
Highest Bidder.

Will Be Sold at Auction to the
Highest Bidder.
A cablegram from London states
that the historic hill Of Tara is to be
put up at public auction and knocked
down to the highest bidder. This will
be heard with pang of sorrow by all
Irishmen. 1t is to be regretted that
the famous hill, the seat of the ancient
Irish kings, cannot be set aside, as our
Bunker Hill, and become the property
of the people of Ireland.
TO everyone familiar with the
poetry of Moore, the name of the fam
GUS hill will recall one of the most pop
ular of his Irish melodies"
The harp that once through Tara's
halls
The soul of music shed.
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
AS if that soul were fed,
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er:
And hearts that once beat high for
praise,
Now feel that pulse no more.
No more the chiefs and ladies bright
The harps of Tara swells;
The chord alone that breaks at night,
The tale of ruin tells.
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes,
TO show that still she lives.

one evening on seat on the parade.
When he wished to rise from the

A little girl, noticing his trouble,
ran up to him, saying: ooh, sir, let

The business grew and prospered at

The business grew and prospered at
such a rate, however, that the last
time O'Keeffe was heard from, little
more than two years ago, he said that
he was owner and commodore of a
line of five schooners, besides being
the king and parliament of his country
and sole landowner of his dominion.
After O1<eeffe was wrecked on the
island of Nap his wife heard nothing
from him for two years and had al
most given him up for dead. Then
one day she received letter, six
months or so old, in which he de-
scribed his situation, and said he was
well. The letter inclosed a Hongkonr
check OH the Bank of England for a
neat sum.
After that there came twice IL wear
letter to Mrs. O'Keeffe from her
husband, always inclosing remit
tance of several thousand dollars. He
used to say that he intended coming
back as soon as he had made big
enough fortune, but that he was at
the moment quite too busy to think of
making the trip. He urged his wife
to go to him, telling her facetiously
of the fun she would have being
queen in South Sea island court.
But the length of the voyage and the
wildness of the island life were more
than she cared to undertake.
A communication was received from
O'Keeffe's secretary about year and
a half ago stating that the vessel in
which the king of Yap was making
the trip from Hongkong to Yap was
then several months overdue, and
there was every reason to fear it had
been lost with all on board.
Mrs. O'Keeffe and her relatives now
believe it was true that he lost his life
at sea. This will be contended by
Colonel Hartridge, who will take the
journey as the attorney of Mrs. o.
Keeffe, and will try to obtain the
property.
The king of Yap is believed to have
left valuable real estate in Hongkong
and cash deposit in an English bank
of that city. The fact that O'Keeffe
had raised the American flag over
Yap, and possibly other islands of the
Caroline group, and that his sway
over his possessions had never, so far
as is known, been questioned, gave
reason to believe that his relatives
would have no trouble in establishing
their rights to the property as his
heirs.
The matter was turned over to n
firm of attorneys in Savannah, and
they, after communicating with cor
Respondents in Hongkong, have OBJ
tanned credentials from the depart
ment of state at Washington and also
letters to such American officials and
German consular representatives as
may be of assistance to them in their
efforts to establish the claims of their
clients.
With these letters and papers Colon-
el w. G. Hartridge, one Of the firm.
of attorneys, will go to Hongkong
and then take such further steps as
information secured there may make
advisable. The letters which Colonel
Hartridge carries from the state de-
partment direct the American consular
representatives to give him assistance.
He also carries letter of introduction
to the commander of the American
Asiatic squadron.
1t is estimated that the O'Keeffe
fortune in the Carolines and at Hong
kong is between $1,5OO,OOO and $3,.
100000.

Unknown 10 Women.

Every woman should read, without

will learn something about herself she
never knew before.

wonderful kidney, liver and bladder
cure, but has a particular ADVANTAGE
as remedy for Chronic Female Weak
ness, Palpitation of the Heart. bearing
down sensations, Nervous DEBILITY:
Leucorrhoea or Whites, and Dropsicai
Swelliugs Its peculiar advantage lies
in the fact that it is both female reg
ulator and kidney, liver and bladder
cure. The womb is situated back Oh
and very close to the bladder. A wo-
man having any pain or distress IN the
back or side at once attributes 1t TO fe-
male weakness when many times her
trouble is entirely from the kidneys or
bladder. Hence woman making this
grave mistake will find a sure remedy
in Thompson's Barosma, for whether
she is suffering from womb disorder or
any disease of the kidneys, liver and
bladder, Barosma will effect perma-
nent cure. For this two-fold reason
Thompson's Barosma is the best wo-
mans remedy on the market. Thomp-
sons DandeliOn and Mandrake Pills
should be used with the Barosma, for
the liver and constipation. They are
purely vegetable and do not grippe.
