Rleba1d Goker The Fighter
Is Living Like a Prince in His Beautiful
Irish Home.
Former Tammany Chief Has Certainly Chosen Charm
ing Spot in Which to Rest After His Strenuous
Career in America.

Northumberland Croker displayed a
distinct appreciation of the beautiful
when he pitched his Tudor castle on
the slope of the hills that encircle
Dublin bay.
Shown in by a neat-looking maid,
your correspondent found himself in
the presence of Mr. Croker himself,
standing with a formidable looking
pipe in his mouth, in the grand hall of
the building, directing the operations
of two local workmen, who were en-
gagged in what seemed to be the rather
difficult task of making the flue of
the hall chimney work. 1t was a study
In concentration. You might have i'm
agined that nothing else existed at the
moment, but the problem of that re-
fractory flue
Mr.. Croker gave a friendly nod, and
then resumed his attitude of absorbed
contemplation of the work, until the
crisis in the operations had passed,
when he turned round to his caller
with an inquiring gaze. On hearing
that the Sunday World desired to
have an intimate description of his
home, and permission to photograph
the interior, he replied: There need
be no trouble about the photographs, I"
and going into his study brought back
a roll of them"
These" said he, "are all I've got.
You are welcome to them"
Mr.. Croker had just come in from
a walk in the grounds, and wore a
loose frieze overcoat, knickerbockers,
brown stockings and heavy shooting
boots. He looked in perfect health.
Your correspondent remarked that
they believed in New York that he
was about to return and take hand
in politics again.
They're wrong" said the former
boss of Tammany Hall. 81 shall never
return to American politics again
never! 1 think I've said that before
more than once, and I'm not in the
habit of going back on what / say.
I'm out of American politics for good,
but hope to pay my personal friends
there an occasional visit. When | go
the papers will say that l am back on
some political business, but they'll be
wrong again"
Croker Has a Tiger.
There was no mistaking the quiet
but perfectly polite determination ex-
pressed in his tone, and at the same
time, by way of more effectually
changing the conversation, or rather
the entire center of interest, he led
the way into the Japanese room.
Mr.. Croker is a man who wants to
get things done promptly and always
goes right ahead. l wanted to linger
over some of the beautiful things he

after all, Mr.. Croker" I ventured
to say, latter a strenuous political
and public life, this is pleasanter
place than New York in which to
spend the evening of ones days"
He replied very quietly and with
out the least trace of a smile: 1T
is quieter."
All this time, whether inside the
house or outside it, Mr.. Croker puffed
away at his big pipe, as contented a
man as one could desire to see.
1T will be the crown of your racing
career" l said, 'if you carry off the
blue ribbon of the turf"
Some people" he answered quiet
ly, seem to think it's great thing"

Old and Quaint Engraving.
After this substantial piece OF do
nestle comfort, the thing that seemed
to excite Mr.. Cookers interest most
was an old and quaint engraving of a
meeting of tie pugilists, Heenan and
Sayers, hanging among other things
of the kind, in a passage leading to
the billiard room.
l mentioned the billiard room. Like
the large strong room, with the Gro
ker archives, it is off Mr.. Cookers
study. and is noble apartment, con-
tanning two tables especially made for
Mr.. Croker in the United States. This
room can be entered not only from
Mr.. Croker's own room, but also from
the hall and again from the grounds;
and, finally, there is communication
with the kitchen, to facilitate the at.
tendance of servants. The walls are

There are few buildings in Ireland
like Glencairne. Most of the great
residential houses in this country
were erected in the eighteenth cen
fury, when domestic architecture was
conceived in somewhat commonplace
vein. Glencairne is not unique, but
is certainly exceptional in Ireland. 1t
is noble pile, crowned with an Irish
tower in the center and a beautifully
chaste Italian portico running from
the hall door on the west, round the
building to the south, and SO to the
gardens. The house is built of cut
granite, and part of the wall of the
original building, once the residence
Of a well known Irish judge, is incor-
porated in it.
In the Japanese Room.
But to return to the Japanese room.
1t is indeed a gem. There are no cor
ners in it as in an ordinary room. The
corners" are all circular, and they are
covered with charming and quaint
Japanese tapestry. The ceiling is
Japanese, with a perfect aviary OF
Japanese birds painted with excellent
taste, full Of life and movement. At
the other side of the hall is Mr..
Croker's own study. Here on the wall
is an address from the Democratic
club of New York, of which the eX.
leader is absolutely proud. Here, too,
are some books, many of them relat-
n az hU q
friend, w. j. Bryan.
And here, above all, are large pho,
tographs of Mr.. Cookers two dead
sons. He shows the pictures to you
without any apparent emotion, be-
cause he is man who has mastered
emotion. Presently, as you go through
the house, you will see, off the large
and handsome corridor upstairs, a
very beautiful little oratory, the
stained glass windows of which he has
erected to the memory of these two
boys.
Hall Is Beautiful.
The grand hall, however, to which
we retired from the study, is the prin
cipal feature of the house. 1t is q
large apartment in dark mahogany
with an deliberately carved and mas
sive old Irish mantel-piece. Around are
tables and writing material, chairs
ETC., as in a sitting room, and on the
walls are portraits in oils of Mr.
Cookers favorite horses and photo
graphs of some of their famous rela
tives. All the chief rooms of the
house radiate off this central hall, in

oak panelled, and decorated with oil
paintings in chocolate tints, of many
of the chief streets and buildings Of
New York, including Wall street,
Tammany Hall, the post Office, the
city hall, Central park, Fifty-ninth
street, Fifth avenue and the Demo
cratic club.
The bedrooms are in the Adam
style. The bathrooms, ETC., are sump-
tuously fitted, and have beautiful tiled
walls and floors, and all the bedrooms
have their own supply of hot and cold
water.
The drawing room and dining room
were the two last apartments to
which Mr.. Croker conducted me. The
most striking adornment of the draw
ing room Is gigantic tiger rug with
the head raised, the jaws open and
the terrifying teeth fully displayed.
Glad to Show People Around.
Mind the tiger" said Mr.. Croker
a timely Injunction, as one might cas-
lily trip over its head.
"a wonderful skin!" / answered ad-
miringly.
"Yes," replied Mr.. Croker. 81 get
the finest. l admire the tiger" The
panelling is in bird's-eye maple, and
here again the elaborate decorating
of the ceiling is in the refined and
delicate Adam style.
The dining room is the most spa
cious room at Glencairne. The walls,
like those of the hall, are mahogany
panelled, the panelling being filed in
with tapestry. The ceiling is also in
mahogany, deliberately carved and
nodded. There is a beautiful side
board in the same material, designed
by the architect to harmonic with
its surroundings. The thing in this
room, however, which Mr.. Croker
shows you with most interest is a
quaint and oriental-looking bowl,
which he tells you with much salts
faction once belonged, like the old
bed upstairs, to Daniel O'Connell. It
is a punch jug, which would hold
about a gallon of that inspiring con-
coction, which, according to a Cork
poet, was accidentally discovered by
st. Patrick; and Mr.. Croker informs
you, as he looks at IL affectionately,
that it was presented to the great
Irishman by some of his admirers
while in Richmond prison.
The Superb Stables.
And as to the stables, which, as I
have already limited. are the great
source of interest at Glencairne to Mr..
Croker himself.
He tells you as you look around the
stables that he has 20 racers, but his
chief interest at present is in Orby, a
beautiful chestnut three-year-old colt
with an eye that indicates character,
and form that connotes stamina and
speed. He comes of the very best
pedigreed stock on this side, bred by
Mr.. Croker himself, by Orme, out of
his famous mare Rhoda B. He has a
half-sister here also, Rhodora, not by
any means as handsome an animal.
Walking back through the grounds,
with beds of wall-fowers, daffodils,
narcissi, polyanthus, tulips, pansies
and the like on either side, one notes
in the distance, a few miles TO the
south, a gorge in the Wicklow hills
