was to be thrown out by force, and
 that If necessary the batons were to
 be used.
 About 10 a. m.. a great number of strangers came. He did not see any
 batons with them, but that might be accounted for by the fact that the Dub
 lin men had been told by MT. John- inside pockets.
 Mir. William OBrien. M. F., address
 ing a meeting of the Cork Advisory
 Committee. said that the committee by their mingled policy of firmness and
 conciliation had enabled the County
 Cork to purchase at two years pur- chase less than the average of the re- mainder of the country Better stilL they had purchased more land in Cork than in the whole province of Con naught. There was nothing in the Wyndham act to prevent C very county In Ireland doing as well or better. Thew owed the inflated prices in other parts of the country not to the Wynd- ham act, but to MT. Willon's destruc- ton of their plans for testing the act and to Mir. Redmond's twenty-four and a half years purchase. That was the only fact In his life for which MT. Red mond would be remembered in Irish history. MT. O'Brien proceeded to point out how illusory were the so- called compulsory provisions of the Birrell bill. and ridiculed the notion that the Irish rate payers could be made responsible for financing land purchase after the express admission, both of the Prime Minister and Of MT Wyndham, that such thing was un- thinkable. As to the future of the Birrell bill, nothing would induce him to enter into alterations in the Eng fish House of Commons on the subject. If these two vital points of the in- creased tenants annuity and of the decreased bonus were to be amended it must be. as in the case of all other Irish reforms, by the pressure of public opinion here at home. and not by poli- ticians in Parliament Though the bill was claimed to be the bill of the Irish party. So far as he knew the party had never been in any way con- suited as to the framing of the bill. In fact, there was no such thing as an Irish party in this matter. There were only MT. Dillon and Mir. Devlin (who was now the more important parsonage of the two). with MT. Redmond as their ornamental fgurehead. MT. O'Brien added that he undertook to at- tend a series of meetings throughout the south for the foundation of an All movement. which would be the only possible chance of having these two vital defects of the BirreII bill amended, by warning the govern ment of the widespread chaos and dis aster for England as well as for Ire land which the stoppage of land pur- chases would produce.

l the place where the ancient castle and church of Crawford stood on the Up- per Clyde. where the great Roman road crosses that river by a ford.
 Tradition asserts that the first thai bore the surname was one Mackornock | "who signalized himself at an engage ment by the water Cree, in Galloway by discovering a Foord. which gave signal advantage to his party. Hence he got the name of Cree-Foord or Craufurd." Tradition, however, is a poor etymologist and there can be no warrant for such a derivation of the name.
 1 Lesmohagow charter of about 1150 He was a stepson of Baldwin de Big gar, Sheriff of Lanark, and from him | the parish of Crawfordjohn took it's l name
 According to the genealogists one Sir Reginald de Crawford, who was Sheriff of Ayrshire in 1296, was the common ancestor of many branches of the family.
 The Crawfords have become charac- teristic of the region of the Forth and the Clyde but are still strongest num- erically in the southwest of Scotland, and especially around Greenock. The family has also crossed the border and extended in force as far south as Lin- colnshre and Nottinghamshire.
 Though the family is Scotch the name is Anglo-Sayon and means the "crows' ford" These birds have for centuries had a haunt in the woods by the ford Numerous other place-names, such as Crawcombe, Crawley, Craw- shaw, Crawthorne etc, are derived from the name of this bird. The An glo-Saxon crave. Middle English crave, craw. crowe and crow, is a generic designation for the crow. rock, and theiY congeners, such as the jackdaw, enough, etc.
 Old Saxon has kraia, Dutch kraai Middle Low German kra and krage, Old High German chraja, chrawa and chra. German kraehe crow The word Is probably onomatopoetic or echoic in origin. A cognate element of like origin appears in the Latin graculus, a daw,' gracillare. to cack- le.' Old Slavonic grakati, to croak. grukati, to coo,' Lithuanian groti. to croak and Irish grac a croaking.'
 The deuterotheme of Crawford is that already explained under Ford above
 As the deuterotheme is undoubtedly Anglo Saxon, the writer considers 1t far better to interpret the whole name as Anglo-Saxon, especially as there is such excellent justification for this etymology. He would not, however, deny the, bare possibility that the prototheme is the Gaelic craobh (pro- nounced crawl, Irish croeb, craeb, a tree,' hence "the tree ford" Such hy- brid words are comparatively rare.
 The old derivation that connects it with the Welsh crau, Cornish crow, Gaeliccro, Old Irish cro, cru, meaning blood hence the ford of blood from purely hypothetical bloody contest be- tween the natives and the Roman in- vaders in early times Is entirely fan ciful and can be entiriy eliminated from any serious consideration.

he resolved to cut oR his "coleta" or pig-tail, thus signifying the termina- ton of his career, asking permission of the late King Carlos of Portugal to of- fer him his matadors' sword.
 The King, who was a great lover or bull fights and an admirer of Mazzan- tiui. on whom he had bestowed various honors. accepted. but his death pre- vented the ceremony taking place. Mazxantini has now come to Portugal expressly to offer the sword to King Manual.
 The celebrated sword has Toledo blade and hilt of gold finely chased and wrought. During his career or twenty-five years Mazxantini killed B. 800 bulls with the weapon.
 The King expressed his thanks for the sword. and conversed with the bull lighter for half an hour at the palace.

O'Neall, O'Neili.

As Is indicated by the O, this sur name Is an Irish patronymic, signify ing the son of Neill.'
 The personal name was made fam ous in Celtic history hy Mall of the Nine Hostages, who reigned over Ire land from 3S4 to All A. D. His family became one of the leading septs of the North of Irleand
 The Celts are the matchless genealo- gists of modern times. They have great skin in manufacturing ancestors to order and rarely stop a pedigree this side of Adam. From Adam to Noah they follow the Biblical record From Noah to the present Is an easy chasm for the Celtic imagina tion to bridge They tell us that the first of the Malls was NiuL son of Phenius. The father taught the Phoenicians thu cir letters and they in gratitude took their name from him. The son went on an embassy to Egypt, married the Pha- roah's daughter. whose name was Scotia. gave his own name to the Nile, later emigrated to Spain whence his descendants removed to Ireland and took the name Scots from their royal Egyptian ancestress.
 It is labor lost to scoff at this tra- dition or to question 1t with all It's glaring anachoronisms, false etymolo- gies, absurdities, etc. It tickles the Celtic pride and every ONeall cherishes

Ford, Foord.

FOrQt FOoFu.
 Richard Verstegan, in his "A Res titution of Decayed Intelligence Con. corning the Most Noble and Renowned English Nation," published in 1905. has chapter on surnames. One Of his most valuable observations is contain ed in this couplet:
 "Tn Ford, in Ham. in Ley. in Yon The most of English surnames run"
 We have indeed many score of such place-names and perhaps every one of these that existed in the surname pe- rfod gave rise to one or more surnames.
 There are parishes and places of the name Ford in Durham. Northumber- land, Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire, Sus- sex. Salop and Devonshire. of which any one may have given rise to the surname in some instances.
 Tn the great majority of instances. however the early records have de la Forde. atte Forde. etc. which show that the usual origin of the surname was from the common noun and that 1t indicates one who lived lat the ford"
 Tn Middle English forth was more frequent than ford as a common noun, and was frequent also as a surname. Hence we find also de la Forthe. atte Forthe, etc. .on those same early rec ords.
 The word ford is a common element in both Anglo-Saxon and Morse place. names and surnames derived from these. There is. however, a charac- teristic difference of meaning in the names thus formed in these two lan- guages.
 The Anglo Saxon lords found so aboundantly In south and central Eng land, are passages across the stream, for man or beast. The lords of the sea-roving Norsemen were passages for ships up the arms of the sea, as is

1t and fondly hopes that in some way | 1t may all be true.
 The name was borrowed by the Old Morse and appears as Mall and Njal in | Iceland long after the advent of | Christianity into that island. The Northmen carried the name to France and the chronicles gave 1t Latinized 1t to England and q dozen landholders of the name appear in the mesday. It migrated to Scotland and survives in the Scotch Nigel, familiar through Scott's The Fortunes of Nigel and in the English Neil
 o'Neall. o'Neill. O'Neal, O'Neil, Mac Neal MacNeii. etc., are the principal variants of the surname.

 stances. a patronymic signifying. "the son of Gold" The old personal name Gold appears to have been fairly frequent in the late Anglo-Saxon and early Middle Eng fish periods. It is found both in the English and the Continental rec ords of the Eleventh Century and in a number of compound place names and surnames that are still older The personal name is usually ex. plained as signifying "the golden one in the metaphorical sense of "the pre- cious one" or 'the one dear as gold ' This may be correct but when we re- call the paucity of monothematic per- sonal names among the Teutonic peo- ples 1t would appear more probable that 1t Is the hypocoristic form of some quent of these on the early records Is the popular favorite Goldwine.

 On the analogy of the numerous other compounds in win" this may be interpreted either as a Karmadharaya compound signifying the friend as precious ssgold" or as a. bahuvihi com pound. having gold as a friend" that Is, one who will amass earthly treas- ures.
 The feminine Golde was also known and the Anglo-Saxon documents record the story of one Dudda. a peasant of Hatfield. Hertfordshire, who named his three daughters Deorwynn. Beloved Friend: Deorswith. Dearly Beloved" !" flor Golde.
 The name is derived from the Anglo Saxon gold. which Is cognate with the Dutch goud Old Morse gull. German gold. Gothic guith. Old Slavonic zlato, Avestan zarana. zaranyu, Sanskrit hir. anyam. all meaning gold" and the Old Persian dareikos. "a gold coin."
 The deuterotheme of Goldwin Is the Anglo-Saxon wine "a friend" of which the history and cognates were given under Goodloe in No. x to this series.
 In the Hundred Rolls of 1273 we have a few entries of le Gold as a sur name. In these instances we have an original nickname due to the color of the hair or complexion.
 Gould is now the prevailing form of the surname. In England 1t is strong est numerically In Dorsetshfre, Staff fordshire. Derbyshire, Gloucestershire and Somersetshirs.

Goldthvaite.

Goldth.vaite.
 Surnames in thwaite are of local origin and almost always come to us from Cumberland. Westmoreland or North Lancashire.
 The termination thwadte as defined by Halliwell, signifies land which was once covered with wood. brought in- to pasturage or tillage." The term IS cognate with the old Morse thveit a piece or parcel of land. a paddock, and is connected with the Anglo-Saxon verb thwitan "to cut off," Middle Eng list thwiten "to invite, cut. chop. pare or cut with knife" whence our "whittle."
 The surname Goldthwaite is then de- rived from the local name meaning "the thwaite or clearing of gold. The old personal name Gold has already been explained under Gould above.
