by James |. Of England, a Scotchm In,
III the early part Of the 18th century
for the use and beneat of English and
Scotch adventures. The rightful Irish
owners were ousted from their homes
and lands and cast adrift. while a
greedy lot of foreigners took possess
sion. This high handed proceeding is
known in history as the plantation Of
Ulster and the descendants Of those
settlers call themselves Scotch Iris;,
and, with few exceptions have never
become "racy of the soil" to this day
The offspring OF those foreigners
afterward organized the Orange So
ciety in honor of William III, known
as the Prince Of Orange. They fought
with him at the Boyne, but did not
contribute much to his victory, as they
ran away before a charge of the Irish
cavalry and threw Williams army
into confusion. They were the only
participants In the battle who showed
the white feather on either side and
yet for two hundred years their 1e-
scendants have celebrated the ami
vcrsary of the Boyne on every 18th CT
July by insulting and attacking their
Catholic neighbors. In Belfast, The
metropolis Of Ulster, where the Scotch
Irish are in the majority. no Catholic
has ever filled municipal Office by
their votes. whereas III Dublin, Cork,

ground of religion. and many Pro-

consequently have no Irish national

that in Ulster they fill all the positi oas
of honor and fat incomes, and that
they display their Inherited bigotry by

sents itself.
Many Of the Scotch-1rish occupy

ANNIVERSARY OF POE.

On the first page of this issue Of
the Irish Standard is reproduced from
the Kansas City Star an interesting
sketch Of the life Of Edgar Allan Poe,
the American poet and story writer,
the anniversary Of whose hundredth
birthday was celebrated last Tuesday
in the principal cities of the United
States. Why we devote so much space
TO this famous lftterateur, who is dead
for sixty years, is sufficiently explain
ed in the fact that his grandfather was
native Of Ireland, AMI not an Anglo
Saxon. 1t is well known that the En- :,

The selection given on the front
page of this issue about Edgar Allan
Poe should be read with delight by
Irish folks who will BE- glad to learn
that the grandfather Of the American
genius whose centenary was celebrat-
ed a few days ago throughout The
United States, was in exile of Erin.
His middle name of Allan Is Scotch
and was given TO him by John Allan,
OF Richmond. Va, who adopted Poe
after the death Of his parents, when
he was less than three years old. The
imaginative and poetic powers dis
played by Poe In his writings were
inherited from his Celto- Norman
ancestors. The Poe family had resid-
ed In Erin for six centuries before the
grandfather Of the poet came to the
New World. Unlike the willianites
and Cromwellians, the Normans ANAL
gamated with the Gets and became
more Irish than the irish themselves.

SUTTON POSSIBLY IN DUEL.
Inquiry Into Death Of Lieutenant
Will Be Searching One.

At the second inquiry into the XIII
ing of Lieutenant James N. Sutton be-
fore a board OF investigation in Ann.
apolis, Md, the real strength of the
evidence collected by the mother OF
the dead lieutenant and his sister.
Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker. will develop.
Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker have de-
clared that the young naval officer was
murdered and that they expect to
prove so beyond a doubt. They now
have all the opportunity they require
to bring forth their proof.
One report has 1t that a new and Z
strong witness will be produced In
Thomas Lee. a foreman Waterman at
the academy, whose testimony was not
heard at the first inquiry. The report
has 1t that Lee has told his friends
that he heard five shots at the time
the fight between Sutton and his
brother officers took place on the
dump.
1t is also said that documentary evt
dence will be submitted showing that
Sutton was challenged to a duel. This
information is contained in a letter
which fell into the possession OF Mrs.
Parker. The talk is that the letter
was signed by one of Sutton's fellow.
officers. and an Annapolis man. q
banker, who confirms the existence Of
the letter, declares that 1t closes with
these words: Il will meet you and
fight you IL you so desire; but for
Gods sake let US cut out the firearms
and fight 1t out like men,"
The inquiry will be of the most
thorough nature and a number of wit.
nesses will be examined exhaustiyely
whose testimony does not appear ON
the records of the first investigation.
Every step of Lieutenant Sutton's
movements on the night of Oct. Is.
1907, when his body was found on the
parade ground, will be traced.
