DIR DOUGLAS HYDE
Indications Point to a Large and
 Brilliant Assemblage.

Dr Douglas Hyde is one of the most remarkable men in the world. He has written poetry in both English and Gaelic. He has written prose in both languages. One of his books. "A Literary History of Ireland" is of such scholarly nature that even Eng lishmen who hate the Gaelic language and all things Irish have nothing but words of praise for 1t.
 He is one of the most tolerant and dlsinterested of human beings. He is a Protestant: Ireland is overwhelm- ingly Catholic. yet he Is wearing out his life for the good of his country. He has not accepted, he will not take one penny in payment even of his ex-
 Though not in politics, in the strict sense of the word, he is great nation al leader. He has succeeded so well in uniting Irishmen of all shades of opinion that the priest and the Orange. man may now be seen seated on the same platform or working on the same committee.
 He is making noble fight, as head of the Gaelic league. for the making of Ireland into a distinct nation.
 Tickets for Dr Hyde's lecture are now on sale at Polls. Reserved seats are 75 cents: those not reserved. 70 cents. and tickets for the gallery, 25 cents. The lecture will be given in Poli's and will begin at s:15 Thursday evening. Father Slocum will intro duce Dr Hyde. All the pastors of the city. both Catholic and Protestant. have been invited to sit on the stage. and several of them have signified their intention of doing SO.

DURANT'S CASE
Grievance Committee Will Consider His Connection With The
 Lathrop Affair.

The grievance committee of the New Haven County Bar association is mak- ing an investigation regarding the conduct of Attorney H. R. Durant in connection with the Lathrop divorce case, and it is expected that the com mittee will soon hold a session at which the matter will have a thorough airing. The grievance committee is a very secretive body, which accounts for the fact that although the matter has been before them for some time past the public knew nothing of it un- til quite recently. The evidence was collected and submitted to the com- mittee by Judge Burpee. With refer ence to the matter Judge Burpee said to-day that there was absolutely no personal feeling in the matter, but that he considered Mir Durant had acleI ig an unprofessional manner and felt it duty to bring the matter to the at tenflon of the grievance committee. He also said that he told Mr Durant all about what he had decided to do. but assured him that he should not move in the matter until the Lathrop case had been disposed of in the local courts, and he kept his word The evi- dence is very sensational. but Durant's friends think that most of 1t is so poorly substantiated that the commit tee cannot afford to accept it as genu- inc. It appears that it all hinges on statements said to have been made and sworn to by a detective named Murphy, whom Durant Is alleged to nave employed and brought to Water bury to keep track of the movements of Mir Lathrop. and who has since gone over to the other side and told all he knows and probably great deal more. A third party to the detective work has since died. so that the grievance committee will in all probability find itself compelled to take the unsupport- ed testimony of the New Yorker against that of MT Durant. Whatever the outcome of the case may be it has occasioned lot of talk among the attorneys, and while none of them cares to be quoted on the question it would appear from what one hears here and there that Durant will have hot fight, but he will come of the victor in the end.

 W. E. Corey at PftfsburR.
 PITTSBURG, Dec. 13.-J. B. Corey, uncle of ". Ellis Corey, head of the United States Steel corporation, has as. tonished Pittsburg by making a re markable proposition in answer to the numerous requests he had for inter views regarding his statement that An drew Carnegie had ruined his nephew by making him president of the steel trust. He issued a public letter. ad- dressed through the press, in which he said:
 If there are a hundred newspaper readers whose curiosity to read the let- ters that have passed between Andrew Carnegie. Charles M. Schwab, ". E. Corey and myself. on which resulted the disgraceful scandal. who will con tribute S1,000 each. or a thousand read CTS who will contribute x100 each. or 10000 readers who will contribute <10 each. or 10000 readers who will con tribute s1 each. the money to go to the Hebrew mission of this city. to which have contributed s2000o. waiting for nineteen others to do likewise. will consent to allow the aforesaid core spondence 10 be published. and the con tributors may rely that they will get their moneys worth"
 Mir. Corey says that he has been be- sieged for interviews by newspapers from all parts of the country. He de- elares that the letters from Carnegie. sebwab and Corey will throw an inter esting light on the present matrimonial troubles between bis nephew and wife
 If Mir. Corey's proposition meets with approval. he says he will promise not to make public the names of the contributors. He adds that he believes the publication of the letters will at least lessen the number of such dis graceful scandals upon the good name of our fair country
