Opponents Would Force Him Out Of
charlottesville Successor.
Washington, Jan. 1-There is a per
sistent rumor Of cabal of political in
.lucnces to force Secretary Wilson out
Of the department of agriculture. The
names Of Clifford PinchOt and NJ.
Hayes, now assistant secretary, are
named as possible successors. The
latest name brought into the matter
is that of Liberty II. Bailey, dean of
the New York College of Agriculture
and head of President Roosevelt's
country life commission.
1t is said that Secretary Wilson
knows good deal about some of the
work which has been done against
him, and is quite prepared to take care
of his own interest He has been
notified that unless he shall be able
TO regard with more friendly eye some
pending Legislation he may lose his
portfolio; but thus far he has de-
clined to change his mind.
The promoters of the Davis bill for
government aid to agricultural high
schools are charged with especial hos
tility to the secretary, because he
does not favor the matter. Unable by
any other process to get the secretary
lined up for their measure, they finally
went to Senator DOlliver, interested
him in the bill, and asked him to intro
duce it in the upper house. Mr.. Dol
liver has agreed to do so.

Madison Young Ladies Assaulted.

Madison Post: Miss Pearl Elley
of this city, a teacher in the city
schools and one of the city's most
respected young ladies', together with
friend, Miss Malone, We're assaulted
by lone man in front of the Cleve
Reeves residence Tuesday night about
$3.50 just as they We're about to enter
that home on a visit to the Reeves
family. The fellow was dressed as
near as we are able to learn at this
time, in a black overCoat and wore a
cap which was down well over his
eyes. He was of rather short stature.
He first grabbed Miss Malone, but she
tore loose from him and in the mean
time he caught hold of Miss Elley
But by this time both young ladies
had made a cry of alarm and those
who heard it rushed to their rescue
but the assailant had fed and search
failed to locate him. At first it was
thought that it might be one of two
fellows who beat their way into town
on the evening passenger but this was
found not to be the case and the latest
theory of Chief Kennedy is that it is
some fellow living in the city. Under
all circumstances he should be run
to earth and given the limit of punish.

Washington, Jan 1.-The rivalry of
| Gregory county towns for the location
of the Mitchell land office approachc d
white heat today when lual hoarins ON

Of Joyce's poems.


A new edition of Ballads Of Irish
Chilvalry," edited by the poets brother,
Professor P. w. Joyce, OF Dublin, has
just been published by Longmans,
Green and Company, OF New York. II
is very we'll arranged collection, with
many historic footnotcs by the editor
the poems, many of which arc so un-
familiar they appear new and fresh.
Aside from the fraternal spirit which
prompted SO worthy work as tho
compilation Of his brothers poems,
Professor Joyce has rendered a, SER
vice OF inestimable value to Irish liter
ature. While the larger and more
scholarly works Of DR.. Joyce, such as
"Deirdrc" and "Blanid," will always
stamp him as poet of extraordinary
ability, it is in such delightful bits as
the Song OF Gallopng O'Hogan" that
he rcvels. Here the swing, the dash
and the patriotic fire reflect the inner
most nature Of the man, while the
simple, dainty tenderness Of his love
songs, like "Margread Ban" steals in
between the rollicking soldier songs
like heather scented zephyr.

Story Of An Irish Lad.

If genius consists in an infinite ca
pacity for taking pains, then Sir Rob-
ert Hart, 1.-The Grand Old Man of
China" has demonstrated the possess
sion of considerable genius throughout
his remarkable career. No trouble has
been too great for the diplomacy OF
Sir Robert Hart: no demand for the
exercise of patience has been too ex-
acting. The Irish lad who "even stole
Is minutes from his lunch hour to
work at HObrew,"'. and worked so ZEAL
ously at school that he was nick
named "the stew-pot," became the man
who, urging his wife year after year
not to break up her home and rejoin
him because he was certain to be re-
turning home next spring." remained
at his post in China for 80 years at
a stretch rather than leave his mag
nificent lifework unfinished, says the
London Daily News.
When he was years old, some 81
years ago, his Imagination was fired
with tales of the departed Hart fam
ily, and his Dutch ancestor, Captain
Won Hardt. King William had given
the township Of; kilmoriarty to the
captain. when I'm a. man. the little
fellow said solemnly. "rll buy back
Kilmoriarty-and I'LL get a title, too."
He did both and much more. The ac-

small, insignificant lrishman," he was
called, but in the records Of Chinese
development he towers among the tall
est figures. Upon Ii Hung Chang he
| exerted great influence in various
crises-perhaps the world will ncvc1
realize all the power that has been
welded by this quiet man with the
inscrutable eyes.
Caution, of course, he learned in the
Oriental schoo' Once a. lady asked
| him to accept rose, and he offended
her by saying: 81 should prefer t.

ing" In 1896 he felt that tho road
was open for his return home-yet
he felt that, half hidden, there We're
obstacles waiting to be met. He open
ed his Bible at random and read the
text Paul said to his centurions and
to his soldiers, Except ye abide in the
ship, ye cannot be saved" That de-
cided him Immediately to remain In
China.
Notable dates in his life have beer
marked by a curious coincidence. III
the year he was born hiss birthday
February 20, fell on the twenty third
day of the Chinese First Moon. Once
more it fell on the twenty third Of the
First Moon in 1854, the year he camo

when his only son was born.

himself. They then cut off his head,
stripping his body naked. They then
flung his body into the burning cask,
and while it was consuming, compelled
Callaghan to open his windows to ad-

MYLES J. MURPHY.
Reviews a New Edition Of Joyce's Bal
lads of Irish ChivaIrv.

Tho wild swing of "Thc Boys Of
Wexford and THE Blacksmith OF
Limerick" has set many an Irish heart
beating to a faster rythm than the
measures Of the song, yet during the
past thirty years not a thing has been
done to perpetuate the memory Of
their talented author. Had Dr.. Robert
Dwycr Joyce never written anything
more than these two songs, however,
he would never have been forgotten
by his fellow countrymen, by those
who love and live for ireland. Joyce
was patriot of the purest type and
his fervid love of country poured itself
out In the most vigorous and passion
ate style in his lyrics. Her tragic his
tory, her fairy lore, her ancient glory,
her hopes and aspirations had strong
grasp on his affections and he reto,d
their story with all the ardor Of q
lover.
The first collection of his poems
and ballads was published in 1861, by
James Duffy Of Dublin, when the au-
thor was a medical student in Cork.
The second edition, published by Pat
rick Donalloe, of Boston, in 1872, hld
scarcely left the press when the ter
rible fire Of that year destroyed the
entire edition. AS the first edition
was long out of print, it was impos-
sible for some years to procure copy
