IRISH PILGRIMS.
To tho Vatican Refused to Be Pre-
sented as Britishers,

One of the most remarkable Incl
dents illustrating the indestructibil-
ity of the spirit of Irish nationality
that has occurred in recent years
took place at the Vatican during the
recent reception of foreign pilgrim
ages by Pope Plus X. 1t seems that
some member Of the Papal house
he Id got the idea that the British
pilgrims '(meaning those from Eng
1and, Ireland and Scotland) should
all be received together under the
head of British pilgrims. This. was
announced to the great surprise OF
the Irish pilgrims, who had made ar
engagements for q, special audience
for the children of the Emerald Isle
The three hundred Irish pilgrims
promptly held u meeting and deGld-
ed that they would not proceed to
the Vatican under the English lag.
They had brought with them a beau
tiful Irish-made green and gold silk
banner,"th flag Of the most Catilo-
liz nation in the world" as Rev. DIR.
Sheehan declared, who headed the
pilgrims, and they resolved not to be
"sandwiched' with the Britishers
Through the proper channels the Irish
pilgrims made known their desire for
a separate audience and Oh explanation
being made, His Holiness most readily
granted it.
Father Mcdonald Administrat, OF
Westport, read the address to the Pope
II. Gaelic. The address was also read
Waterford. The Irish pilgrims present
e' the Pope with an offering of $2,500
and number of chaliccs Of rare value,
the work Of Irish hands. Tho reply OF
His Holiness was full of sympathy and
esteem for tho Irish people.
The English papers, particularly tho
Times, the Morning Leader and the
Mail, were very bitter over the Incl
dent. 1--WE understand" said tho
Morning Leader, that the Irish insist E.
ed on being recognized at Rome as a
separate nationality and that their re :
fusal to join in the English pilgrimage
caused CONSERVATION among the Eng
lisI pilgrims. That the Pope should
consent to receive the Irish separately
is astounding to EngIishmen.'
Well, we don't see anything as
founding about it, says the Catholic
Columbian. The Irish had a perfect
right to assert themselves as q nation,
and nowhere more so than at the foot
Of the Chair of Peters successor, for
none have been more faithful to that
Chair. May the green banner soon
float as free by the banks of the Lif-
fey as it did beside the banks Of the
Tiber, and may it ever float over men
who fear not to assert their rights

f, the glove trade, is beseeching from
congress.
1 looked down the long rows of
tables at one of the biggest facto-
ries. Crouched over the flashing
machines were girls with young
faces, crazinly racing against the
clock and It seemed to me that
every line of their bodies was
crying for protection. Hollow
chested and bent, like question
Imarks,-the question of existence
were spinsters who should be
mothers, wives who should be
making homes, children sacrific-
ing health and men who seemed to
lack the dignity and Joy that or
dinarily comes from doing the
worlds work. They were more
like slaves than honest working
people, 1 thought. And all surely
are in need of protection.

COUNCIL IN
DEADLOCK

There is possibility of a dead
lock in the city council next week
on the election of president.
There are 16 solons and it takes
nine to elect president. If they
divide evenly there will be no
election. At present it looks like
a close contest with the chances
favoring Hawthorne. If he gets
Russell of the Eighth ward, ac-
cording to the way some of the
councilmen say they will line up,
Hawthorne will have enough. If
Lynn gets Russell 1t may make a
tie.
The way the politicians say they
will line up will be Bell, Stewart,
Rankin, Chapman, Hawley, Glib
lett and Wilkeson for Hawthorne
ana Turnbull, Eberly, Kreger,
Jameson, Brand and Armstrong
for Lynn. Both sides claim Rus
sell.
II there comes a tie 1t will give
a dark horse q chance. In this
event Turnbull would probably go
after it, but It is doubtful If he
could win out. Bell is an old
hand at the business and he
might tackle the job. Jameson
or Brand either one could proba-
bly, get bunch of votes and
Brand might be a formidable
candidate in case Of deadlock.

I girl or that man handles becomes
her or his whole life. They strug.
gle to produce numbers OF that
part to their full strength and for
10 hours a day. To make a fair
living requires untiring labor and
that harrassing worry that one
feels when his effort is measured
by clock ticks. To slow up Is to
flatten the pay envelope. To be
sick an hour it to have 10 to Is
cents loss at the end of the week.
Piecework it is that painted
hard lines on the faces of the peo-
pie of Gloversville and bent their
backs and cheated them out of
youth.
Some of the men make as high
as $55 per month. Some of the
girls make So per week. There is
no wage schedule. The minimum
Is nil and the maximum Is about
SIP a week for the skilled man.
A girl who has been employed
by the glove trust for 10 years
told me her story. She appeared
to be good girl, prematurely old,
sick two or three days aweek, I'M
lovely and hopeless. Her dream
of having husband probably
faded when she saw the effect of
piece work. Her hope of children
died when disease entered herr
body. Now all she asks for is
to be able to work six days a
week. To her way of thinking
this is even a privilege. i

The old N. P. depot will not
even burn.
The thing caught fire last night
but the men worked on at their
desks all unconcerned, knowing
the old wreck would never burn
down. The fire department came
along with a little chemical and
put the whole blaze out in a min
ute. The fire started from a long
stove pipe from the lunch coun-
ter.
Incidentally the city auto-patrol
came near being wrecked by a pas
senger train that came up across
Pacific avenue without any head
light and with the flagman not at
tending to his business. The
chauffeur just missed the engine
