we'll that they speak well of him aid
like him. But his position is not an
easy one. ass there IS a decided host
tility among the greater portion of the
Dublin population to England, as there
is throughout Ireland from Dublin
south. Lord Aberdeen.s apartments in
the castle are regal. Sad to say, ONE
one stole all the crown Jewels not long
ago, worth more than a million dol
lars. But visitors are admitted to the
royal apartments Inc shown every
courtesy. There. again, is another
marked trait of the Irish people over
here. They will do anything they pos-
sibly can to assist you in finding your
way about and seeing what you a
to see. They call us "Yanks'' and are
very fond of us. Today the driver of
my carriage said he was ready to go to
war at any minute. / said with
whom? With American" He answered:
mot a bit of it. l would fight for
America as quick as | would for Ire
land, for America is the friend of my
PROSTATE country. What | am wanting
to do is for the day to come when l
can fight England Again and again
this deep, insatiate hostility to Eng
land crops out, and 1 fear England will
never know peace until Ireland is abb
s~olutely independent. And will she
then?
Proud Of Their College.
The city is proud of Trinity College,
which, by the way, now opens it's doors
to Catholics as well as Professionals,
and women as well as men.
Dublin was the birthplace of Thomas
Moore, the poet and song-writer of
Ireland. The Irish people love Tom
Moore as the Scotch love Bobby Burns.
In this city Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan, the great orator, was also born.
Daniel O'Connell resided here, and
there is today an imposing monument
in his memory one of the most inn
pressive | ever aw. Dean Swift, SO
witty and otherwise, was dean for
many years of st. Patrick's Cathedral
(Protestant) and lies buried in its
ch%urchyard. I believe that the Duke
of Wellington was also BORN in Dublin.
There is a wonderful obelisk, 205 feet
high, in Phoenix Park in his memory.
From Dublin one may go out to
Oakley, and from a lofty ~promontory
look down on Dublin bay and it's semi
circular shore, a scene he will never
forget.
We took the train over the Great
Southern and Western railroad from
Dublin to Killarney. Every mile of the
journey was fraught with delight, as
the road runs through charming seem
cry and makes splendid time.
Here, again, is a surprise for Amer
leans. The railroads of ireland are
perfect in. equipment. and the road
beds are SO well balanced that ever a
long journey is not wearisome. The
locomotives are only half as large as.
ours and the cars look laughably small
compared with the immense ones on
our railroads. Nevertheless, these little
locomotives make express time, and the
little coaches are as comfortable, IL you
use first-class, as our Pullman cars.
Furthermore, every civility is shown
the traveller. The conductor never takes
your ticket without saying Thank
YOU" AND the moment you ask for
information it is given with a thor
%oughness and willingness that make
you feel hat you really had a right
to ask II
Evidently l have been simply car
ried away with my experiences in Ire
land, and am running to praise al an
