IRISH DENOUNCE KEOGH.
st. PatTick's Day Speech Resented as
SLander of the Race.

Judge Keogh. one OF the stars OF the St. Pat
rich's night dinner OF the Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick like DR.. Ransford, has fallen into dis
repute among the ITish-Americans by reason OF
his remarks in response 10 the toast, The Irish
Revival" While DR.. Rainsford was tolerated and
no personal attack was made on him other than
Commissioner McAdoo's fiery reply, Judge Keogh
is being roundly denounced for what is described
as his London Times-Plunkett Islander of the
Irish race'-"an unwarranted and Ill timed speech
against which all self-respecting men Of Irish
blood must remonstrate."
Irish leaders throughout the city are demanding
an explanation. While this was the gossip of
clubs. not the attack led by the veteran editor
Patrick Ford, who in to-mOrrows issue of The
Irish World" will call OF Irish blood TO
nail this British lie and bar Judge Keogh in
the future from ST Patrick's Day affairs In
three column leader. Mr.. Ford throws down the
gauntlet TO the judge for the whole clan. Judge
Keoghs speech published verbatim several
days after the dinner. and then the storm broke.

denim IL as unwarranted SANDER on the race.
Judge keogh is quoted saying. in part:
have no grievance to bewail, message OF
misery TO deliver. But like thousands of my race.

gent self-reliance; in the remnant of the race

TO INSPECT SUBWAY.
State r. r. Commission May Order
an lStandpipes.

The State Railway Commissions experts will. in
a few weeks. make inspection Of the subway
rapid transit system. The commissioners do not
start out with the idea that there Is any lack
OF safety, but it is the opinion Of the board that
il has supervision the subway, and the issue
between Il and the Rapid Transit Commission viii
be Forced in this way. Steam Railway Inspector
Schultz and the commissions electrical expert
c. r. Barnes will begin the work as soon as the
regular inspection of the elevated lines. now in
progress is ended.
We recommended and had put in by the New
York Central a system Of water pipes and hose
connections in the Centrars tunnel from the Grand
Central Station, said Commissioner Dickey yester-
day afternoon. We will probably do the same thing
in the case Of the subway, where. unofficially we
have information that such system OF water
pipes and connections Is lacking. In the case or
the explosion and fire uptown few days ago the
burning Of half dozen could have been pre-
vented II there had been water pipes and hose in
the tunnel. Such fire provisions should be ready
in case Of emergency anywhere in the tunnel.
"A year ago this board had the elevated lines put
fire eXtinguishers the The same thing
done with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit sys-
TEN. II will without doubt be done also in the
case of the subway cars"

(Billy Wigg was homelier than stack

looked on him were as those of moth

Unhappiness was the portion of Billy
in the days that followed. : A partner
who wandered about unchaperened and

blind reliance upon him when once the
doors had closed behind him. Poor
Billy!

discharged as cured. Harvey exulted
He said it was great operation and

was a mean trick on Billy Wigg. My

tractable,, even enduring the indignity
of flannel jacket and splints with a
sort of humorous tolerance. Every day
Harvey came and gazed soulfully into
Solomon Johns glazed eyes-which is
a curious form of treatment for broken
collarbone, not sanctioned by any of the
authorities who have written on the
subject Tt soon became evident that
Harvey didn'tscare anything about the
bone; he had ether designs. On a
day he came to the point.
Solomon John; would you like to
have your sight back?'
The blind man sat up in his cot and
pressed his hands to his head.
DO you mean it, sir?" he gasped.
'Yeu-you wouldn't go to fool an old
man about such thing? ?r

don't quite seem to take it all in yet,

it does come out right, added Solo

Billy Wigg ragged nightly and rent
the garments of his best friends be-

alton. When he was admitted after it
was over he howled tumultuously be

ether sickness, which he mistook for

Months passed before we saw the
pair again. We returned from our Eu-
ropean vacation confident of finding
them on the same old corner and, sure
enough there they were. But as we
approached Harvey seized me by the
arm.
Good heavens, Bob! Look at the old
man.
Whats wrong with him." said l.
He looks just the same as he used to-"
Just the same as he used to.' echoed
Harvey bitterly. Eye shade and all.
All my work gone for nothing. Poor

At the sound of his voice Solomon

hadn't kept them tight shut out of re-
spect to Billy's prejudices. Reporters
found his simplicity and naive honesty
mine of good stuff and the picture
of the firm was in all the papers. Billy
Wigg began to suffer from swelled
head; became naughty not to say
snobbish. But the fierce light of pub
licity wore upon the simple soul of Sol
omon John. He discarded the extraor-.
dinary placard and was glad when he
faded away from fame. Billy wasn't
He liked notoriety as well as authority.
Billy continued to exercise his au-
thority. Perhaps tyranny would be
nearer the mark. But even so meek a
soul as that of Solomon John has linz

was that the old man said to Harvey.

Harvey said he'd think about it, He

he whipped it out suddenly. A fight of

diversedly on the sidewalk Dear mel y
craed the old man cunningly. sThe old
fool that | am. I'll never be rich this
way. Pick them up Billy boy
Billy hated it, for picking small coins
from smooth pavement with lip and
tooth is no easy job; hated worse leav-
ing his partner to two such unscrupu-
lous characters as he we'll knew us to
be. But he knew his business, and set
about it with all his energies.

You didn't think I'd be taking it ?"
he asked reproachfully
We didn't; and we said so. But we
required further enlightenment.
All on account of Billy Wigg there,
sirs. The eyesight was a million bless

Billy. Not a pleasure in life would he
take after we left the hospital When
I'd walk free and easy along the streets

harm would come to me through him

Solomon John in polite parenthesis to
my friend. He says, the dogs dying
of a broken heart. I've seen it before
he says. .What'll 1 do?' says 1. He'll
not be content till you are as you were
before says the dog doctor. 1t was a
minute before l sensed what he meant
Then my heart got thick and sick in
side me-, Blind I says. Is that what
you mean? You old fool says the
dog doctor, can't you do bit of play
acting? You've had enough practice in
the part, he says.
sOver 1 went and got my stick and
put on the old shade that l hadn't ever
thought to use again, thanks to you,
sir, and tap-tapped across the floor to
Billy Wigg. Come on, Billy says T.;
1 want You to take me out for a walk
Billy jumped up with a kind of ehoky
bark, and l hugged Billy and Billy
hugged me, and-we've been doing
business on the corner ever since"
There was a long pause. Harvey's
expression was queer. 1 felt little
queer myself. 1t was queer story
you know. Finally 1 asked the old
man if business was good. Not that
particularly yearned to know, but it
seemed to be time to say something.

it a dishonesty, think you, for me to be
