That was years ago, before the

cod liver oil or emulsiOns viii do
good, NinOl will do far more good.
Mr.. Scrape of the Phoenix Drug

so well of what Ninol is made that
we ask every mother who has a weak,

Tho Emerald Isle.

a traveller in Ireland says that Of
course he knew that Ireland was called
the Emerald Isle" because of it's
greenness, but it had never entered his
imagination that there was anywhere
in the world such verdure as charms
all eyes in the rural districts Of Ire
land. The slopes, the knolls, tho dells.
fields of young grain, over which the
breezes creep like playful spirits Of
the beautiful; tho pastures dotted with
white sheep of the purest wool; the
hill sides, rising up into mist-shrouded
mountains are all covered with thick
carpets of smooth, velvet green.
The Same traveller says "Tourist" In
tho Irish World, that Ireland can also
be called the E1owery Isle. There is
not a spot in the land, lie thinks, where
Nature can find an excuse for putting

government, and what is most scnsa-
tional is that as many as IS per cent
Of tho officials holding posts Of re-
sponstbiilty and emolument were
placed there without having to pass a
qualifying examination. Under close
analysis 1t is ascertained, too, that
from s5 per cent to 90 per cent of the
officials are Protestants. Tho bulk Of
the positions are filled by buffers in
capable Of passing a qualifying exam-

0 dealers in rare china and articles Of

Lie marquis is a man on great &C.
complishments, Of much culture, Of SUI
perb polish. He can talk half dozen
modern languages. He is, in all the
world, one Of the greatest connoisseurs
Of china and one Of the most discrim-
mating critics of art. AS S judge Of
paintings of the French school it is
conceded he has no living equal.
The marquis has spent hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars on French pictures
and china. IIe keeps on spending.
There is not space on the walls Of his
rooms for a hostage stamp, and yet he
buys more pictures, more china. It is
u mystery what he does with all his
purchases-as much a mystery as the
man himself is today. 1t is said that
he uses some Of his rooms as minia-
ture storage warehouse and piles up
the pictures there.
The noble lord nowadays dresses
shabbily. after the style Of the late
Russell Sage. AS far as can be dis
covered, no photograph Of him is in
existence. A recent cartoon Of him in
the Dublin Freeman is no great libel.
One could hardly tell him, judging by
clothes, from his valet.
This old man. Murtagh OBrien, as
old. as ill-favored, and as crusty as
his master, is the MARQUIS foster
brother. He is more companion now
adays than servant. Yet he guards his
master we'll and still personally attends
him. The marquis has five servants
altogether at his bachelor chambers, in
Guiding a good cook.
He travels much abroad, particularly
to Switzerland for the skating. He is
a superb skater. About the only view
Londoners ever get Of him is at Princes
Skating club Fink owned by the
duchess Of Bedford, which is attended
by the smart set.
When skating there, the marquis, no
matter what happens, refuses to open
his lips to man, woman or child. Num-
berless women have tried to scrape
acduaintances with the rich old bach
elor nobleman. But they might as
well have tackled the sphinx
The marquis is never seen at court
and rarely at his club, the Travellers.
In fact, outside Of Ireland, his name
has been forgotten.
Ireland, it is safe to say, lie will never
sec again. Ills life would not be worth
a cent should he ever step ashore
there. 1t is doubtful if, when he dies,
he will ever be gathered to his fathers
and receive burial in Portumna castle
where lie SO many of his illustrious
ancestors. The Irish will probably
object
In the history Of Ireland there have
only been two former cases in which
bills have been introduced in parlia-
lnent to deprive a man of his pos
sessions and rights.
The first affected Viscount Strang-
ford, dean Of Down, in 1884. He had
been found guilty OF criminal corrup.
ton, and was deprived Of the right to
sit in parliament or sitting and voting
on the trials Of peers.
The second was the case Of Sir John
Parnell. eldest son Of the Irish chan
cellor of the exchequer. He was Grip

ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Part of Circus Rolling Equipment Be-
came Unmanageable

A serious accident was narrowly averted
the line of the circus parade was round
ing into New Jersey avenue from street.
On the steep hill on street between North
Capitol street and New Jersey avenue near
ly all of the heavy wagons stopped long
enough to adjust chain locks on the rear
wheels, but the hook and ladder truck of
the circus fire department tried to nego-
tiate the incline without the extra precau
ton, and the cumbersome apparatus slipped
it's brakes and became unmanageable soon
after passing the brow of the hill. The
horses were forced into run, and WITHIN
q few yards they were being carried along
at furious pace as the truck gained mo
mentum. 1t was sought to clear Il pathway
through the crowd and straight down the
hill, but the people seemed to THINK the
yellS of the ffremen on the apparatus ana
the apparent sembance of real nre run
were part of the show, and they made no
effort to get out of harms way.
In the emergency there was nothlns 1or
the driver to do but turn with the rest OF
the parade into New Jersey avenue, and
this he attempted to do. Fully one hundred
people, most Of them women and chlldreh,
were standing at the corner In front OF me
Maltby building and. as the truck swung
more and more widely in the effort to round
the short turn. 1t seemed as though scores
of the spectators must be ground beneatn
the hoofs of the horses and the wheels OF
the fire apparatus A shout of warning ana
horror from the crowd on the opposite slde
of the street and the screams of the people
making a belated scramble to safety were
punctuated by a resounding crash, and the
hook and ladder truck came to standstlii
against tree just as 1t was rolling onto
the sidewalk. One of the horses attached
to the truck was SO badly injured that 1t
will probably be necessary 10 XIII 1t. me
apparatus was partially wrecked and II
was Withdrawn from the parade.
George Bell, the driver of the truck, was
thrown to the pavement and injured about
the body He was taken to the circus
grounds for treatment. William Shafer,
fifteen wears of age, of 800 LIST street north
east was pushed by the crowd around the
scene of the accident, and one OF his knee
caps was fractured. He was taken TO the
Casualty Hospital.
