for years, although it thrilled the
heart of every freshman, it was never
heard in public in England.
If Boucicault could have lived until
the Queen made her last visit to the
Emerald Isle, when she consented to
the wearing of the shamrock, he
would have seen, as the royal party
landed from her majesty's yacht, the
Dragons, Fusiliers and Lancers
drawn up i'm full uniform TO salute
their ruler; sprig of shamrock was
on every breast, and the Queen was
greeted by the same old song, The
Wearing of the Green"
Lovers of research of this char
acter have found that there was an
old revolutionary street ballad in
ireland, in which a conversation was
imagined between BOnaparte and an
lrishman, i'm which Bonaparte inquires
And how is ould Ireland, and how
does she stand" and to this he is
given reply: "'Tis a poor distressed
coun- theory, oh, poor I-ar-land."
Mr.. Boucicault, 1t is said was given
the idea for rewriting the song by his
mother, but she was only able to re-
member the first four lines. All the
rest is original with Boucicault. Nor
is this the only song he adapted in
the same way. The old-time popular
song Pat Malloy," was also written
by him to an old Irish air.
Mr.. Bouciciula was born in Dublin
Dec. 26, 1922. He was educated part
ly i'm that city and partly at the Lon
don University, and became connected
with the dramatic profession in the
year 1871 as author of London AS
surance," a play first performed at
Covent Garden theater on March 4
of that year. Mr. Boucicault did not
make his stage debut until Monday
June IA, 1852, I'm a play written by
himself, entitled THE Vampire" In
1858 he came to America for the first
time and made his appearance in "Thc
Fox Hunt" at Wallack's theater. He
returned home two. years later. In
1860 he wrote and pAduced in London
his famous play, THE Colleen Bawn."
He came to America to reside perma-
nently in 1876, and took up his resi-
dence in New York City. where he
died Sept rs, 1890

tator, referred to I'm the song, was

TO all CLASSES of the Irish race there
is no song more dear than "rhc Wear
ing of the Green" ON st. Patrlcks
day, March II, the day Of the sham
rock, on the buttonhole nearest the
heart is carried the national emblem.
and on the lips OF all true Irishmen.
at some time during the day. are re-
peated the words of the song as the
late great Irish actor, Dion Boucicault,
arranged them from a song of probab-
ly several generations earlier. the au
thor of the original of which no one
has ever been able to learn.
The origin OF "The Wearing of the
Green is not easy to trace. The well
krown Welsh chronicles Of 'the Fist
eddfod furnish a clew to the geneal-
ogy of most of the old songs of Eng
land and Scotland, as well as those Of
Wales. But the beginnings of Irish
melodies are lost i'm the haze of ira
ditions that merge into FOLKLORE.
Antiquarians are of the opinion that
at first the name was a "keen"-the
hereditary funeral song of one Of the
royal houses of the island before the
days of Cromwell. Certain it is that
ii was a song of the camp when
James made his hopeless stand. But
the words were lost and it is not
until 1745 that it is found linked with
stanzas that begin
The pixies must be together
When the moon is on the green.
The present words-the present
song. i'm fact-may, however. be ac-
credited to Dion Boucicault, the actor.
The words are his. written to the
ancient melody and introduced by him
close To so years ago I'm the popular
Irish play. "Arrah ma Poguc." They
are sung by Shaun the Poet.
1t was on the evening of March %,
1865, that "The Wearing of the Green"
i'm it's present form was first sung.
The play was produced at the Prin-
cess Theater, London. soon after
Clerkcnwell prison was blown up by
the Fenians. There was a storm of
indignatian i'm London. and Bouci-
caults English associates and admir-
ers advised him not to sing it; but
sing IL he would and did, and it al
most caused a riot.
II resulted i'm the cabinet ministers
OF the late Queen Victoria issuing an
edict prohibiting the singing of the
song i'm the British dominions, and

Man Who Keeps Girl From School
To Work In Factory Sent To jail
BY Judge Phelan.

Joseph Srzkutnuka, No. 1876 Lock
wood-ave.. stood before Judge Phelan,
Saturday morning. and calmly con-
fessed that he did not send his child
to school because he needed her ser
vices to earn money for him. His
attitude was utterly defiant. and 30
Disguised was the court that he SUB
jected the prisoner to q most scath-
ing rebuke and then sentenced him TO
pay q fine Of $50 or spend 80 days In
the House OF Correction.
Andrew, young son, earns $46 O.
month and gives that to the support
OF the family. There IL daughter,

refused to send to school II II years
old. The father admitted that he had
been taking her from one factory to
another in an effort to get work for
her. He is able-bodied. but does not
work himself.
Judge Phelan made Andrew, the
brother, promise that he would take
the child to school on Monday. An
drew said he would gladly do SO,
when the father shouted at the boy
in POLISH Don't you dare take her
to school"
What manner of man are you"
said the court, turning suddenly and
looking at Srxkutnuka. What man.
ner of man are you to peddle your
child from factory to factory that you
may live on her meager earnings.
There may be circumstances by
which men are unable to send their
children to school. but In your case,
those circumstances do not exist.
II can see you have had no school
ing. but that IL all the more reason
you should try to educate your chill
dren. It's q duty you owe this state
and the country that has taken you
In. You are one of those fellows who
desire to live of the wages OF your
babies and I'm not going to permit
you to do It."
Then the Judge told the prisoner
that II he were not an American citi-
zen. he would take steps to have him
deported. The prisoner smiled sar-
castically and said he would just as
soon go back.
"A man who can't distinguish be-

Srxkutnuka took his punishment
with apparent indifference and when
sentenced to spend 30 days In the

to 50 there because he needed the
rest.

GENERAL MOTORS DIVIDEND
Is REPORTED DEFERRED
Passed For Present But Will Be Paid
Before Dec. I, Says New York
Dispatch.

According to private dispatch
from New York, Saturday, to Hayden,
Stone & Co., the directors Of the
General Motors Co., have passed the
dividend on the preferred stock for
the time being, but will pay 1t some
time before Dec. /.
The earnings are reported TO have
been $S,500,000 for 1909, and are es.
timated at $10,0O0.000 for 1910. This
would be amply sufficient to pay the
preferred dividend, but 1t has been
deemed wise to pass 1t until the nego-
tiations for floating the large bond
issue have been completed. The divi-
dend is cumulative and will have to
be paid In full before the common
can participate In the earnings.
There was another rumor on Girls
woldst., Saturday, to the effect that
the directors had deferred dividend
action only until Monday OF next
week, and would then declare the
full Sh per cent. This was not gen.
orally credited, however.
