ana grace that melts million soals

beauty. his every gesture grace. Why,
Macready or Booth never equaled him.
1t would have been pleasure to look
at him If he had not spoken at all, and

And then he had. what so few Ameri-

sounded the gamut. I heard him once
In Exeter Hall say, Americans, send
my voice careering like the thunder
storm across the Atlantic, to tell South
Carolina that Gods thunderbolts are
hot, and to remind the slave that the
dawn Of his redemption Is drawing
near" and I seemed to hear his voice
reverberating and re-echoing back to
London from the Rocky Mountains.
And then, with the slightest possible
flavor of an Irish brogue, he could tell
story that would make all Exeter Hall
laugh, and the next moment there were
tears In kis voice, like an old song, and
five thousand men would be in tears.
And all the while no effort-he seemed

AN UNIQUE IDEA
An 0hia Priest VIII Use Ballads
to Teach History.
Is Preparing q Collection Of
Irish Folk-songs.

To stimulate interest in the history
of Ireland by the study OF ballads il
the purpose Of tho Rev. Father John
McHale, Of st. Malachi's Church, says
the Cleveland Leader.
He maintains that most Irish his
tories are too long, too dry. and con-
tain an excess of detail difficult OF
mastery. 1t is his opinion that a good
general conception of the history of
the Emerald Isle can be gained by the
perusai of standard Irish ballads.
These he has collected and is arranging
IN chronological sequence. For three
months the first Of them have been
published periodically in the Universe.
But Father McEale intends to go fur
ther than this. When st. Patrick's
Day rolls around he hopes to have the
whole collection compiled in book form.
These ballads are of fine literary
quality. They were written by Thom-
as Davis, Aubrey Devere, Clarence
Mangan. T. D. Sullivan, an Irish men,
ber Of Parliament. Darcy MCGEE. Cav

home, for interment.
Died-Mr. John F. Sullivan, Jr., aged

ferer for more than two years, died

night Of Feb. 25th. Besides his par

/, pertaining to the Celtic invasion of 1re-
land will be found. One of the next
periods reflected in ballad form Is that
in which Christ lived. The old tradi-
tion of Connor Mack Nessa, King Of
Ulster, is one Of these. In this it is re-
lated that the country was in darkness
at the time Christ was crucified. Con-
| nor asked one of the Druids how it
came about. When the explanation
was given, the king became very
angry. Drawing his sword. he slashed
at the branches of trees. crying that
he wished they were Jews that he
might annihilate them. The excess Of
his anger caused his death. A missile
that had previously entered his head
in battle was released and the warn
ing of physician that when this oc-
Cured death would ensue was full
filled.
The burial Of King Cormick is one
Of the succeeding ballads. This king
had embraced the Christian faith. He
didn't want to be buried with his
pagan ancestors. While his remains
were being borne to the grave, the
waters rose as ford was being
crossed, and carried the body to the
place in which he had asked to be in
tered.
The expedition of King Dathy, in
the third or fourth century, is the text
Of another. The st. Patrick legend is
also treated, as is the battle between
the O'Neils and McDonalds. two lead
ing chieftains Of the North Of Ireland.
There is the ballad concerning the
building Of Holy Cross Abbey, by King
Limerick. one of the O'Briens, Brian
Boru is described. So is the battle Of
Credran Kille in 1857. and the life and
death Of Lrt McMullett.
These are not all by any means, but
they are recited in order that one may
gather little idea of the proposed
book. It will be published in Cleveland.

The care for the ir.potent, poor. sick
