VICTOR EMMANUEL
 DEMOCRATIC KING

Rome. June S-(Special liking Victor Emmanuel Is one of the most democratic of kings and takes as much interest in all classes of his subjects as though ne was the president of a republic with an election not very far ahead. one Of the leading socialists in Italy is Alfredo Lisl, head of a cooperative glass factory at Asti.
 Recently Lisi was granted private audience with the King, at his maJestys suggestion, I understand.
 This is how the socialist leader de- scribes the audience:
 q was received in a small room, very simply furnished, and the King, coming toward me, said: I am glad to De apie to shake hands with you, dear signor Lisi'
 Then he questioned me about the so- cialist cooperative works and how the organization began. He was much inter ested when I explained the difficulties we had to meet through lack of capital ana of protection We have been long time. sire, without seeing your face ex- cent on stamps I added and the King laughed.
 His majesty said he might come to Asti to see the works some day and l prom
  enthusiastic welcome, the workmen would receive him respectfully
 ''rhe interview lasted about 40 minutes and the King promised to use what little mower he had to further the success or the scheme. AS was leaving l sald: Your majesty, I am only poor lndivid, ual but I would ask you one thing. Tell me what 1t is, said the King. II you would not mind presenting my hom- age to the Queen T will replied the King, and I hope to send you something about your cooperative works that Will interest you.'
 King Victor is preparing to pay visit to Russia and it is probable that while he is on his travels he may stop to see the Kaiser at Berlin and President Fal-. Hers at Paris. The Italian King was greatly interested in the report from Lon don that Kaiser Wilhelm had expressed himself to the French minister, M. Pich- on, in favor of general European feder- ation, which would go long way toward making war impossible. While this story has been denied his majesty is hopeful that there is some truth in It. Itsly's development is retarded by the enormous expenses entailed by the preparations for war and she would welcome any move with a reasonable. promise of success which would relieve her of the burden.

ROMANTIC STORY
 OF SIR ROGER

London. June 1s.-(SpeciaD-A romantic story is told of Sir Roger Palmer, a Cri- mean veteran, whose death was re- gently announced. Sir Roger was a lieutenant, aged~ %, when the battle of Balaklava, famous for the charge of the "Six Hundred" was fought.
 The night before the battle he was going the rounds of the camp, when he found sentry of his regiment ths Eleventh Hussars, asleep at his post. Although he could have procured the mans trial by court-martial, which would have meant death sentence, Palmer decided to say nothing. Next day Palmer led his troop Into the Valley of Death" A Russian cav aryman was about to run his sword through the lieutenants body. when I trooper of the Hussars dashed up and clove the mans skull to the chin It was the sleepy sentry, who had thus saved the officers life and proved his grati- tude

THE AMERICANS
 INVADE IRELAND

Dublin, June 1S.-(Special) 1.-The Ameri-
 can invasion is on in full swing. Hardly a steamer from across the Atlantic but
 brings it's quota of Irish-Americans or
 the sons and daughters of Irish Ameri- cans, all actuated by the desire to see the land of their fathers. In every sec tion of the island family reunions are the order of the day, and hundreds of wis., itors are looking up old friends, family records and the like. While many of the visitors come in style and show every sign of prosperity 1t is surprising the number who have come over third-class, having evidently pinched and saved to make the visit.
 | One effect of this homecoming move- ment Is going to be boom in Irish man. ufactures. Not only are the visitors pur- chasing of Irish made goods as bounti-
 fully as their purses permit, but they announce their intention on their sreturn
 home to call for Irish goods thus mak- ing permanent demand. It is also hoped
 that American capital may be interested i in the development of the old country. | The announcement of the death in Queensland of Mrs. Kevin Izod o O'Doher- l ty, who gained fame by her poetic con- tributions under the name of Eva to | Gavan Duffy's Nation, the organ of the Young Ireland movement in 1S4S recalls charming Irish romance. Mrs. O'Doher- | ty was Miss Eva Mary Kelly, the daugh- | ter of a Galway gentleman, who, when | quite a young girl, contributed poems to | the Nation which attracted wide atten- | tion. She had as a w-contributor aCror f1,n f1o | Wilde, mother of the late Oscar Wilde. Among the admirers of "Evas poetry was Kevin Izod O'Doherty, young med | ical student, who was also engaged in the patriotic movement. From a literary admirer O'Doherty advanced to the posi- ton of ''Eva's" lover
 | As registered proprietor of the Tribune, another Dublin paper of rebellious ten dencies, he was arrested for seditious writing. and sentenced to ten years | transportation.
 Before his deportation to Australia Eva was allowed to see him in his cell
 Be you faithful, she said to O'Doherty | I'll wait"
 | O'Doherty was transported but being allowed out on parole in Australia he
 was able to finish his medical studies and take out his degree.
 | Years passed and he returned to Ire land, where Eva true to her word in the prison cell. awaited him. Two days after his return to Dublin they were mar | ried, and ODoherty, with his bride, re- | turned to Australia as voluntary exile
 In 1885 ODoherty came back to the old land and entered the house of commons as member for North Meath He quick ly tired or parliamentary liee, however, and once more returned to Australia
