Irishmen are tho mayors Of some OF
our best known and Oldest cities. John
r. Fitzgerald OF Boston has all the ex-
uberance Of the Irish temperament
Good business man and shrewd politi-
clan as he IL. he has the high spirits
and bonhomie OF the heroes OF Chaun-
coy Olcott's dramas. II the toastmas-
ter after q dinner should say that
everybody would have either to make a
speech or sing song. Mayor Fitzger-
aid. Il present. could tell the company
to take their choice. He can do both.

in charge Of that branch Of the business.
One of the directors of the steel cor
poration speaking recently of Mr.. Far
rell, said:
, He is "a great merchant, the word
being used as meaning one who sells
goods. Farrell knows how to sell
goods. His gift In this respect is as
great as was that Of A. T., Stewart,
one Of the very greatest merchants this
country has ever produced"
There are some people in New Haven.
Conn, who remember Mr.. Farrell as
one Of the boys who worked in wire
mill on Grapevine Point. which lies be-
tween New Haven and East Haven.
Now that he has become famous they
like to recall that he used to walk
two miles from his home to his work
every morning and that he was never
late on the job.
Another Irishman who has achieved
great business success is ex-senator
Edward Murphy Of Troy. n. Y. Sena-
tor Murphy has made a fortune as
manufacturer and banker, ard he has
had a notable career in politics, having
been for several years democratic state
leader Of New York. and having served
to 1899. James B. Haggin, the million
aire mine owner, is ALSO OF Irish stock.
The 1rishman's liking and aptitude
for politics are we'll recognized, and
you will find lrishmen among the most
successful and influential politicians in
almost any place OF considerable size
in this country. George Tener. Oliver,
United States senator from Pennsylva-
MIA. was born in Ireland. January Is.
1S4S John Kinley Tener. Governor OF
Pennsylvania, comes from County Ty-
rome, landing in America when he was
nine years Of age. John Burke. demo-
cratic chief executive Of North Dakota,
is an Irish-American. Ex-senator Thomas
n. Carter OF Montana, who managed
Harrisons second campaign for the
presidency. is an Irishman. The lower
house OF Congress contains a notice

rish-Americans. Charles r. Murphy.
