your great newspaper how things are
in our country. Will the. American
press try to shame England into doing
her duty?
Charity, the sending Of food. may
have to come. Our people do not ask
it; yet one cannot let ones fellow
creatures die of starvation; one can
not see little children fall, as I have
seen them, starving by the roadside
on their way to school. These things
one cannot see and remain silent, and
if an appeal to American charity is
made l feel sure it will receive gen-
erous response. but if it is made it
will only be because the English gov
ernment shamelessly insists on carry
ing out it's work of determination Of
the Irish people.
Our appeal to charity will also be
an appeal to help us to prevent the
murderer from completing his crime.
and the sadness and the humiliation
of having to beg Of charity the means
of saving the lives of our people will
deepen the debt of hate which Ireland
owes to England.

that you have labored hard through the
whole Of your life. 1t may be that you
have fought and bled to uphold the
name and the might Of England. But
il matters not. A last torture awaits
you. You are to be impalcd.
The regular tramp never goes to the
pike. The only men who go there are
the unfortunate men who are out of
work. those who know not the ways
and til" resources of the road.
The spike is the last word of the
cruel and hamnablc workhouse system
that diSgracrs England.
The only way to see what the work
house or the casual ward really is like
is to go in as Il destitute person your
self. To be led around by the work
hnlsr master is to be utterly deceived.
In the spike you must pick four
pounds of unl.ltrn oakum for tile ac-
cnmmOdntion that is given you. And
there is no man living who can pick
four pounds of unbcaten oakum in Il
day. In prison, where men are used to
picking it. it is rcckoncd Il good days

teen hundred weight of stone. The
most powerful man. used to the work
and we'll fed, could hardly break this
amount Of stone in !, day.

trying to make up a good fire. Against

might well be filthy, for thirteen men

An American tourist, while getting
Il drink of milk at farm in the Mid
lands one day, remarked to the farmer.
"You have fine lot Of hens there but
they are nothing to ours. One hen
owned by my father laid eggs with two
yolks. When Matched two chickens
came out Of them"
"That's nothing" said the farmer.
There's my neighbor over on yonder
farm that's got an old hen that's near

up piece Of leather boot lace in mis-

last season Ii enjoyed the same old
Jokes and laughed, until IL nearly
split its side, just in the same old
way, as il did year ago. It did not
applaud quite so vociferously. Pos
sibly because the musical numbers
were not quite mp to the standard OF
the previous engagement. Many were
called upon 10 sing, but few could
sing. Mr.. Dunn. who Is the whole

any pretense as vocalist, hut he
nleases everybody when he attempts
it, and all are satisfied.
The Althea sisters are fine contor-
tionists dancers, and do number OF
remarkable stunts. They gained
much admiration in this role, but they
should never attempt To sing, not
even that popular song - Way Down

men, aud especially Of some present
last night was Arthur Damn, whose
pleasant duty it is to kiss, and kiss
six stately. handsome girls in the
rendition of the song "A Kiss For

at the end of the theatrical year has a
record Of having kissed and been
kissed "a, 600 times in one hundred

Worthy of mention besides Mr.,
Dunn, is Mr.. Charles DoxS and Clar-
ence Harvey, Miss Ermine Earle sings
well. but is too affected. Ii may be
her role. but it ism { a pleasing one or
a natural one. Miss Florence MartiA
is dainty and pretty. but as vocalist
she is not success. Mr.. w. Il. Nee
han holds the championship for rapid
talking. He says more words to the

fair to middlin -, but not up to the

Not Properly Manned

From observations taken of tho
lighthouses in the Chesapeal Bay, it
is thought by some that the number of
assistant keepers should be increased.
It appears the lighthouses are not
properly manned in some places there
being one principal keeper ana one
assistant. and in other localities there
being only one keeper. There hould
be one principal keeper and two assist
ants attached to each lighthouse.
Two of them should remain at the
lighthouse at all times. Thomas Ad-
dicks, assistant keeper, who disappear
ed from Thomas Point lighthouse
while the keeper had to come to An
napolis on business, was believed to
have committed suicide by jumping
overheard. He left his clothing, watch
and bank book ON the table. His body
was never recovered. Recently the
assistant keeper at the same station
was removed. having been examined
by medical board of officers and pro-
nounced to be mentally unbalanced.
Such instances as these places cause
much responsibility on the principal
keeper, who is in charge Of station.

TIE LAck OF FUNDS
Stops Work at The Indian Head
Proving Ground.

Owing to the lack OF funds thhe ma
val ordnance experiments begun at the
Naval Proving Ground, Indian Head,
Md. have been in q measure cut short,
as the Bureau of Ordnance, like the
other bureaus of the Navy Depart
ment, is unable to exceed the appFo.
priation authorized by law.
As soon as possible the experiments
with smokeless powder will be re-
sumed. In the meantime such other
experimental work as can be carried
on without great expense is proceed
ing. Already the excellent results of
the system of detailing young officers
for special ordnance duty are manifest
ing themselves. The young officers on
duty at Washington this winter at
the Naval Gun Factory and in the Blu
reau of Ordnance have not only learn
ed great deal about their work, but
have been of assistance TO the bureau
in the solution of certain problems and
the preparation of important data ON
ordnance.
The Secretary of the Navy and the
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation are
already convinced the plan is not only
a practical one, but that it offers the
best solution of the problem of short
age in ordnance experts in the navy. IL
is believed that equally good results
will be obtained in the Bureau of
Steam Engineering. under whose di-
rection a number of young officers have
been detailed for special instruction
in engineering work. Until the circu-
lar recently sent out by tho Chief of
the Bureau OF Navigation has been
generally received throughout the
navy. the chiefs of the Bnreaue of Ord
nance aud Steam Engineering will not
select the midshipmen who are TO go
10 Washington for instruction next

The cuteness OF Children

That clever singer and jolly German
dialect comedian who opens at the
Colonial Theatre on April s. matinee
and night, tells good story on the
child Bessie, who plays the part of
Dorothy in his play The Watch on
The Rhine. Daring his recent en-
gagement in Rochester, N. ~, he was
called in front of the curtain and pre-
sented with a handsome gold mounted
cane by number of admirers, and
when he had expressed his thanks in
a suitable manner and retired TO the
inner recesses of the stage door, he
was confronted by the little one with
a demand TO show the gift he had re-
ceived. Mr. Wilson held il up and
said There it is--a beautiful cane
The child gazed at it in contempt and
blurted out: That ain't no cane. y
What is it then. :" questioned Wilson
Without hesitancy the little tot re-
piled "It's an umbrella without any
clothes -
