 Fiske O'Hara in ''-Ehe Wearing of the

 A hundred years ago it was high treason in Ireland to sing "The Wear ing of the Green Bold spirits, fear ing not the wrath of their oppressors. went about the streets singing their favorite songs. One by one they were executed and in the period following the execution of Robert Emmett, to sing the famous Irish song was equivalent to signing your death war rant. On a bright sunny day a new singer appeared at one of Dublin's concert halls, and in defiance of all laws, to the stupehcation of his listen CTS, launched forth in clear silvery tones The Wearing of the Green.'' The story spread and ere the sun had set a new spirit had taken hold of Erin's sons and almost everyone be- gan singing it until the opposing fac ton, seeing the futiIity of their ef- forts to smother patriotism, withdrew their objection.

DR., CADMAN LECTURES ON
PURITAN IN TWO WORLDS.
Fourth in the Series of Y. M. c. A.
Entertainments Largely Attended.

In the fourth of the Y. NJ. C. A.
entertainment series, DR.. S. Parkes
Cadman of the Central Congregational
church, Brooklyn, N. Y, was heard
Wednesday evening at the Central
Baptist church here in a lecture up
He was introduced by Rev c. It.
Ricketts, of the Greeneville Congresa-
tionaI church.
DIR. Cadman's comprehensive treat
ment of the subject, choice diction, oc-
casional eloquent periods, and a ready
humor made the lecture very enjoya-
BILE. He summed up the Puritan ideal
as the pursuit of liberty under the
restraint of law, but the lecturer reg
istered his conviction that God is not
so much exercised in special legisla-
ton for the Jews and Americans as
we fondly are inclined to suppose, and
the Egyptian went out just as this
nation will go out when it can no
longer play the game. SketchinB
through the epochs represented by the
countries of the Nile and the Euphra-
ties and the Graeco Roman epoch, he
came to the Teutonic epoch. which he
said did the only thing that was to
be done, take power from the top
and give it to the plain people. who
were at the bottom.
Democracy's rude, stony. weary
process had begun with Alfred the
Great and eliminated in Abraham
Lincoln, but we must retain the aver
age, for in the average citizen lies
the dependence and certainty OF the
republic. The Puritan in whatever
land has had the secret of his power
long as he has inherent vitality ana
plays the game of life.
The lecturer was frequently ap-
plauded in the course of his address.

WORKING FOR REVENUE SCHOOL
Coast Artillery Company Leaves Fort
Trumbuli and May Not Return.

The 1921 company, q. S. coast ar
tillery, will leave Fort Trumbull New
London, for summer camp at Fort H.
G. Wright early in June and it is
considered highly probable that the
old company will not come back to the
old army post. New barracks are ready
for the company at Fort Wright and
as the plan has been to have that
company stationed there it is not con-
sidered likely that it will return to
Fort Trumbun. AS announced several
months ago it is the war departments
plan to yacate the post for its occu-
pancy by the United StatAs revenue
service.
The school of the revenue cutter
service is now located at Arundel
Cove, Md, where there is little advan-
tage for the instruction of cadets.
The change has been advocated by
both the treasury and war depart
ments and is being favored by the eff
forts of Senator Brandegee and Con-
gresham Higgins. Maryland congress-
men and senators have opposed the
move, but practical assurances that
the change would be made have been
given.
