A Man Of Mystery.

The following sketch of John e.
Redmond is given by the Dublin cor

lowers are on intimate terms with him.

alone and then places them before his
party They are accepted usually
without question. Some people say
that John Redmond Is most unsocial
man, and they wonder at the alleged
fact that the leader of a people pre-
eminent for its social qualities should
be the antithesis of the typical Irish
man. Like most CONGRATULATIONS, this
one is incorrect 1t is true that Red
, mond has few friends in the House Of
Commons, and few intimates even in
| his own party. but that is his settled
policy. He long ago determined that
he would enter into no entanBling al
liances. The leaders of the English
parties arc pleasant enough fellows
socially, but Redmond has always re-
jected their Overtures Of friendship
because he did not know when his
duty would call on him to be at dag
gers points with them, and he had
made up his mind that he would keep
himself free to attack or support, as
the circumstances demanded.
| But there is another side to John
Redmond, and that is the family side
OF course, most of his time must be
spent in London, and his little house
in the West End is the center of a
charming circle Of relatives and init
mate friends. Almost every morning
he may be seen walking or riding with
his wife in Hyde Park, and anyone
who attempts to approach him on po-
litical matters during these walks is

a student at the Royal University

Irish country gentleman, and although
he is now too old-and too stout-to

seldom misses a meet of the local hunt

enthusiastic sailor and enjoys nothing
more than q cruise round the Wex-

COUNTESS OF ESSEX
To Establish a Model Laundry in
Roscommon,

Roscommon.
The following dispatch from Dub,
lin. dated May IA, is of interest to our
readers:
Old Erin is valiantly struggling to-
ward prosperity. A sign of the times
is the Earl of Dunravens thriving
and businesslike efforts at tobacco
growing. This nobleman is as keen
an agriculturalist as he was a yachts
man. On thirty acres of land he
raised last year 29,755 pounds of to-
bacco, said by enthusiastic Irishmen
to be excellent. Another aristocratic
tobacco planter in Ireland is Colonel
Nugent Talbot Everard. The Colonel
speaks with pride of orders having
come from America, strange as that
may seem. On only twenty one acres
he has cultivated 22,32O pounds of to-
bacco during the year.
Irish people are loud in their praise
of the Countess of Essex for her phil
anthropy In the Roscommon district
has become far-famed. Under the
land purchase act the tenants of the
Earl and Countess bought their Ros-
common holdings so that the Essex
connection with the town became re-
mote. Since then they have only been
once in the locality, and the poor have
been loud in their lamentations.
But 1t appears the Countess is about
to renew her acquaintance with her
old tenants. Under her patronage a
model laundry Is to be set up. to give
employment to a large number of wo-
men who would otherwise be unem-
ployed or emigrants to America.
The Countess means to combine
business with philanthropy in the
scheme. She will find the money
something about $1o.OOO-to put the
scheme in motion. and will not ask
for any further interest on her money
until the laundry has been in work.
ing order for three years.
If the enterprise succeeds she will
demand 3 per cent on her capital and
the principal can remain indefinitely
for working expenses or for the pur-
poses of expansion. as circumstances
may dictate. She is at present In
communication with local clergy, in
whose hands she proposes to leave
the working of the scheme. In the
event of the business not showing a
tendency to succeed after three
years trial she stipulates that the
laundry shall be closed down in order
that the building may be used for
some other purposes in the interests
of the town.

tess has taken a personal interest in
the poor of Roscommon. A few years

Summer in Erin.

To greet the advent Of peerless May,
Yet l am burdened with grief and
sadness.
My heart is heavy and far away.
Yea; far away where the sun is tip

Where ferns wave and the streams go
tripping,
With plumes of amber and amethyst.

Falls on my heart, and l long again
To see the sky growing grey before
me,
And hear the rain in an Irish glen.

goes rushing.

On every mountain and glen's UNI

And all the bushes with blooms are
bending.
And tn air is full of the fragrant
hay,
And every river it's voice lis lending
TO swell the chorus that welcomes
May
I've heard the music of cities pour
ing
OF notes of joy to the Maker soaring,
More sweet than ever their organs
rolled.
l mind me still Of the smoilin's sing

I'm hearing ever the blackbird's
tune,
And the lark's full hymn in my ear Is
ringing
In mirth or misery, night or noon.
Oh God, who gave me these thoughts
to brighten
The hours Of toll will Know, re-
Some day these jog of my youth to
Tighten
My heart, and bring ne content once
Oh, none can know what it is to treas

And naught can picture his hearts

THE REASONS

wife is terribly set against the idea Oh
having a stranger sleeping in the barn
Why, sir if you went to sleep there,
that poor woman would pass the night
in agony. Ever since Matthewson's
barn burned down, eight years ago, and
bushel basket full of human bones
was found in the ashes my wife simply
loses all control of herself and has the
Mysteries if anybody mentions sleeping
in the barn. Shed take it for granted
that I'd have to go out with basket
in the morning and rake around in the
ashes to find enough of you for decent

married man simply must have some
respect for his wife's opinions. She is
always ready to sacrifice anything
even life itself-for him. and the least
he can do is to show a proper respect.
It's a most unfortunate thing, but
my wife is bitterly set against having
strangers eating at our table. You
see, several years ago we extended our
hospitality to a stranger. who said he
had the money to pay, and while he
was eating he had q fit and upset the
table and broke all the dishes and bit

leg. He gave my wife a 50 bill to
pay the damage, but it was a counter

Who First Sang Battle Hymn.

Regarding your statement that
Mrs. George Toole was the first to
sing the Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lie" | wish to say that it was sung the
first time in public by little blind
girl named Miss Belle Batchelder; she
now resides in Dorchester. At the age
of nine Miss Batchelder sang the song
at the state house, forty three years
ago. Miss Belle Batchelder was at that
time a pupil OF the Perkins Institute
for the Blind, and used to go to various
places with soce OF the other pupils
to let the public know what the blind
pupils could do She had travelled all
through New England when a young
girl with one OF the attendants of the
school exhibiting the work of the
pupils.
AS DIR. Howe was a founder of this
noble institution it seems no more
than right that the honor Of singing
that famous song, written by Mrs.
Howe should go to the one who de-
served it.

INFANTlLE PARALYSIS.
The Experience in Rhode Island to
Date.

1t is good news that for week no
new case of infantile paralysis has
been reported in Rhode Island. The
belief is that the coming of cold
weather accounts largely for the sub
sidence. That this would happen was
the hopeful prediction of the superin
tendent of health of Providence when
the epidemic was mounting, and the
same view was held by health authori
ties elsewhere and physicians who
have studied the history of this
battling disease. In Springfield, where
it became of unparalleled consern last
summer the presumption was that the
fight would not have to be prolonged
after the leaves began to turn. The
campaign everywhere has resulted in
much valuable empiric knowledge of
the disease, while the pathological
scientists have contributed to our I'M
Outstanding of it. 1t is apparent that
infantile paralysis, of which IN
doubtedly there have been not few
sporadic cases in previous summers
will not again spread for lack of COM
petent diagnosis. A further cheering
belief is that an epidemic hereabouts
will not occur next summer, such is
the observed law of epidemics gener-
ally that one does not Immediately
succeed another.-Providence journal.
