FORAKER AND

His Admission That He Had
Been Employed Surprises
His Friends
LIGHT ON OHIO POLITICS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Sept. Ex-senator
Foraker's admission that he had been
employed by the Standard Oil Com
pany came as distinct surprise 10
those who are familiar with his career
here. The Buckeye statesman had fire.
quently been accused OF favoritism 20
ward the railroad. but If it was known
in Ohio that he had served the stand
ard Oil Company during his first term
in the Senate that information never
got as far as Washington. Even the
'muck-rakers" who last year gave the
Senate such a grilling failed to dig up
the fact notwithstanding Senator
Foraker's signed statement TO the ef-
feet that he never made any secret of
il.
A number of other senators were pill
loried as the Standards representa-
tives in the upper branch Of Congress,
but up to this time Foraker's name
had never been mentioned even -e-
motely in that connection. Forakers
friends accept his word that his re-
lations with the company were merely
those of attorney and client, and that
his acceptance of fees had nothing q
do with matters pending in Congress,
or affairs IN which the Federal Gov.
ernment had any interest The reve
lation made by Mr.. Hearst, COMING
just at this time, Is manifestly EN-
barrassing to the Taft managers. Ac
cording to word coming from Ohio, d
means the disruption Of the arrange.

day anniversary in her home, No 5oi West
Fifth steet. on Thusday. October 10. Al
though no formal celebration OF this very
interesting birthday anniversary has been
planned its Importance to Mrs. Pass and
her large family and to Wilmington IN
fact. will be fttingly recognized.
Mrs Pass is remarkable not merely Tor
her great age. but for her physical vigor
and mental alertness, Her only disabilities
are slight deafness and weakened eye
sight but these have had little baNct in
lessening Thea pls plsasure which she finds In
her family and her many friends.
How have 1 lived 80 long and kept my
health? Why. by hard work and nothing
else" This is her invariable reply to
those who seek the secret OF fine old
age. Unlike many others who have grown
pessimistic with great age, Mrs. Pass Is
optimistic In all things and her distin-
gushing trait Is her affection. Her plea
sure is to sit and talk with the members
OF the family. but until recently she was
able TO take short walks and could do so
now IL her physician's orders did not for
bid her. Her face retains that kindliness
characteristic of those who enjoy good
health. and her cheeks are as full and her
complexion is as clear as that Of a
healthy woman OF 60.
She has followed no dietary OF peculiar
course of living. but has always been q
lover of fresh ar and sunshine.
Mrs. Pass was born in Cecil county.
near Elkton. and a long residence in the
country laid the foundation for her great
age. She came to Wilmington so years age
and has lived here since. She was mar.
ried when she was q years old.

What Ohio Records Show

What Ohio Records Show
BY United Press Leased Special Wire
CINCINNATI. Sept. 19.-Public
records of Ohio dispute Senator For
aker's declaration that his employ
ment by STANDARD Oil was of common
knowledge. The records OF the Su-
preme Court do not show a single ~
stance IN which Foraker appeared as
attorney Of record of the company.
How successful Foraker was on every
project concerned in the Archbold let
ters is shown by the record. Judge
Burkett, of Lima, and Lindlay, who
was one of the Supreme Court justices
who gave the decision stopping Mo-
nett's custer suits against Standard
oil was renominated as Archbold
sought
smith w. Bennett. brother-in-law OF
Monett, active in Standard oil prose-
cutions, was so badly defeated when
he stood as a candidate for the attor-
ney-generalship In 1908 that his name
was not offered to the convention.
Archbold wrote to Foraker against
Benefits candidacy.
with every labor organization in
Ohio backing him, Bennett was defeat
ed for nomination this year by a COM
bination led by Walter Brown, Of To-
ledo, and u. G. Denman was named.
A bill similar TO the Price bill OF
1900. about which Archbold wrote to
Foraker. was offered at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature by Foster,
Democrat. of Hancock county and de-
feated The purpose OF the Price and
Foster bills was to compel the publi-
cation of the names Of the corpora
tions and the stockholders. Had the
Price bill been passed it would haze
exposed years ago that the Standard
oil Company controlled swarm ot
so-called independent companies OF
Ohio, which are now doing business
under the right name as Standard
companies.

The North and Home Rule.

Sectional lines and pTejudloeS are last
| becoming things of the past i'm Ireland.
! The current number of the Catholic
Times of London notes the formation
! Ct a society of FISHERMEN whose plan
| is to work in cooperation with those
| Of other sections for better government
for Ireland, and has this interesting
editorial comment:
Not only are Imperial Irish con-
servatives becoming converts to the
Home Rule cause; some of The Orange
men in the north are also enlisting un-
der the Natioralists' flag. They have
formed an association Of UlStermen
called the Northern Union for the pro-
motion of unity and cooperation
amongst all Irishmen working for the
better government of ireland. The
growth of this organization is said to
be steady and promising. The new
state Of affairs which has arisen in the
country affords grounds for hoping
that it will DO much to break down the
barriers by which Irishmen, owing to
religious prejudices. have SO long been
divided. In all parts of the land the
tenants for some few years back have
been securing the ownership of their
holding under the land purchase act,
and the landlords. who pocket hand
some bonus on the sale of their estates,
are gradually disappearing. So long as
they were masters of the land, they
contributed freely to the funds of or
carnations in whose programs opposi-
ton to Home Rule constituted q large
item. At present the contributions arr
dropping off and in the course of some
time they will. doubtless, cease alto
gether. This being the case, the hos
tility TO the national movement is wan
ing in northern districts where in for
mer years it was kept at fever height.
and a considerable proportion of those
who once maintained 1t are discovering
that they were duped by their leaders
in the past. '-Catholic Sun.

Irish Are Honest.

Andrew Mack, after a world tour, has
just returned to Boston. He is full OF
anecdotes, among them he tells the fol-
lowing:
While going on a car in the Killarney
district l noted one thing. We were
talking about the poverty of the Irish
people. We had on the car with us an
Irish lady and gentleman, an English
woman and myself. During the journey
this English woman lost her purse
After going a half or three-quarters of
"a mile, she discovered the fact and she
became very much excited, ana snout-
ed to the carInan
Stop the car, stop the car! 1 have
lost my purse and it contained 90
pounds and my return ticket. What
shall / do? I may never expect to get
it back again"
The car man said to her, Now, don't
be disturbed, madam, if you have lost
anything on the road, you VIII surely
get it back, and we will drive on
She said Stop this car, must find
my purse"
Now" ne said, don't get excited.
Somebody will pick it up. and by the
time we get to the hotel, they will re-
ture it. These Irish people are honest. =
DO you know there is 20 pounds. 100
dollars, in that purse?" she said
Think what that amount of money
would mean to these people,"
L want to tell you, madam I said
that these Irish people are honest
enough to return it,
Well, the three of us insisted that we
drive on. and we had only arrived at
our destination when a little Irish boy

said:

cwner Of this here?" holding up the
purse. The woman grabbed it and said:

Blarney Castle,

! BlarneY Castle. as everybody knows
is one of the best preserved and mos
! beautiful of the many ruins of ireland
and is probably better known through
out the world than any other becaus
of the marvellous qualities of its walls
writes William f. Curtis to the Chicago
Record-Herald. AS Father Prout in on
of his verses expressed it:
There is stone there
That whoever kisses,
oh. he never misses
To grow eloquent
lis he that may Chamber
To my ladys chamber
Or become a member
OF parliament
The castle stands on the banks of q
flashing stream called the Comane, full
of trout and well protected. and is sur
rounded by a wonderful forest of ce-
dars, birch and beech trees that are cen
turtles old. Their trunks are entwined
with ivy. and the rocks and lodges upon
which the castle stands are cushioned
with the same material
The famous Barney stone is as well
known as the king of England. and the
superstition is that whoever kisses il
becomes instantly endowed with Won
derful persuasion Of speech. But very
few people and only the most daring
athletes have ever tried the experiment.
The miraculous stone is the sill of A
window which projects from the main
wall near the top of an open space of
about twenty or twenty-four inches. 1t
is not only difficult but dangerous to
attempt to reach it. A slip would send
you head first to the ground 100 feet
below. The only way in which it can
be, done is for the person who tries to
support himself over the edge OF the
wall by straps from the top, and with
his face upward draw himself across
until his lips can reach the stone AL
most everybody that visits Barney
Castle comes home with tale Of the
time he had in kissing the Barney
stone, but no one has seen him doing
so for years, and it can only be done
by carrying tackle TO the castle. Mrs.
Hanna Ford. a gentle and considerate
old lady, who has been custodian of the
place for more than thirty-six years
told me that she had never known but
half a dozen people to kiss the stone in
all that time
Sir George Colthurst, the owner.
2harges a siXpence of every visitor and
collects scarcely enough to pay the eX-
oenses of keeping the place in order.
The visitors average about 100 day
Turing the summer months, but nobody
ever goes out there during the winter
