Two days OF the week just closed commemorate
events and actors in them dear to the hearts Of
lrlshmen in their adopted country as well as to
those over the sea.

on to meet their foes.
What follows is best described by the Irish poet
Davis:
Like lions eaping at fold when mad with hunger's

Right up against the English line the Irish exiles

Through shattered ranks and severed ties. and

rallied, staggered fled
On Fontenoy, on Fontenoy like eagles in the sun,
With bloody pumes the Irish standthe field is fought
and won!
The current number of the Irish World gives
comprehensive account of that famous battle in its
historical columns. The historical feature of the
Irish World, to our notion, is really more instruct
i've than any other this great newspaper presents.

Henry Stanley, the explorer, is dead. He con-
tributed much, probably more than any other per-
son of this century, to knowledge of geography
He blazed the way in the Dark Continent and made

Herald who gave him the start to fame. $50 and

battle with the world and dies honored as few
men are honored. But if Stanley did not find
Livingstone, and some naked king in the interior
of Africa had toasted him over fire of Nile
brushwood, what then! The land pirate would be
content in. limited opportunity, the darkey would
be minus clothes that did not fit him, and the mis-

Ruffin, the negro charged with enter

attemI ii 6 criminal assault at Hills
boro, who was brought here for safe
keeping and to prevent trouble, was
seen by your correspondent today. He
is confined in a large steel cage, to-
gether with several other prisoners.
Ruffin says that he is about fifty
eight years of age and that he has
spent most of his life in Hillsboro.
He denies his guilt and says that he
will have no trouble to show the court
that the wrong man has been arrest
ed He admits being out all night on
the night that Mrs. Latta's home was

statement he went from the lodge to
his home, changed clothes and then
went direct to the home of Major j.

where he was later in the morning
when he was placed under arrest.
While the negro is positive in his
denial he has a restless manner OF
talking to a person, and looks mean
enough to do almost anything. He has
been in much trouble during his life.
His last trouble was when he armed
himself with a shot gun and went

close range, putting out both
his eyes. For this he was given term
