Mr.. MCDONALD RETURNS
FROM THE GREEN ISLE
VISITED OLD IRELAND AFTER
SIXTY YEARS ABSENCE.
and Sisters Did Not Recog-
nize Him. Attended the Corona
ton of King and Queen.

Mr. Edward Mcdonald, one of the
oldest and best known residents of
Marietta, has just returned from a
trip to his old home in Ederney, Ire
land. He left home when a boy four
teen years of age and had not been
back until this summer.
MIR. Mcdonald sailed from New
York on May 9Th on the White Star
Line steamer Baltic and landed in
Liverpool on May 10th. On the trip
across the ocean the Baltic passed
by Belfast, Ireland, and Mr.. Mcdonald
saw the White Star Liner Olympic in
her dock just before making her
maiden voyage. The Olympic is the
largest ship afioat and cost ten mil
lion dollars.
Mr. Mcdonald found his old home
without any trouble, and his older
brother and two sisters still living
there. They had not seen him in sixty
years. He asked his brother if he
could get few days lodging, and was
finally allowed to stay. He remained
in the house two days without letting
his brother and sisters know who he
was. Finally his brother noticed that
he used his left hand and told him
he resembled ED" and that ED" was
''left-handed, too" Mr. Mcdonald re-
piled that since his brother had been
so good at guessing who he was he
would take him up to London to see
the coronation of King George and
Queen Mary. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and after the two brothers
returned from London Mr.. Mcdonald
remained in Ederney about two weeks
before sailing for home
Mr.. Mcdonald came to the United
States in 1856 and landed in New
York, where he resided until the war
between the States broke out. He
Joined the union army and fought
throughout the war in the third Della
ware regiment under command of Ma
jcr Bailey. He was wounded in the
leg during the battle of Gettysburg.
Mr.. Mcdonald has served the city of
Marietta in several official capacities
He was city marshal from 1878 to
1882, from 1882 until 1888 he was jail
keeper, and during that six years
never lost prisoner After getting
out of JAIL as he expresses it, he was
night Waterman for four years.
Mr.. Mcdonald fought in the Cri-
mean war with the English troops and
was in the battles OF Inkerman, Tech
erna and Sebastopol. He is one of
the few men living today who saw the
charge of the light brigade from the
heights of Balaklava.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 25.-An expert
examination of Herbert Wiley, a 10
year-old thief. now in the county jan

believed to be practically irresponsible
for his deeds. DR.. Naismith ofthe uni

request of Judge Means Of the Juvenile

years ago. He was charged with steal
ing a harness, which he attempted to
sell. Later he was paroled, but again
he got into difficulty and was sent
back a second time Only a short
time ago he was granted a second pa
role from the school, but he was I'M
able to withstand the impulse to steal
and took a bicycle from the Quincy
school. He tried to dispose of this at
the Dyche bicycle shop, but was found
by Deputy Sheriff Woods before he
made the sale. The wheel was returned
to it's owner and Herbert taken to the
county Jail.
Believing that the boy was suffering
from a physical defect, Judge Means
amined by DR.. Naismith- The judge
was convinced that the boy was not
wholly responsible for his misconduct,
and that there was something driving
the boy on that he could not control
He does not only have a mania for
stealing, but it seems that he has an
equal weakness in regard to telling
falsehoods. He admitted to the judge
that he had stolen the bicycle and then
again he asserted that he did not He
gave other conflicting answers to ques-
lions that were put to him.

and about the ordinary size of the boys
of that age. He is said to come from
a very respectable family which gives
added weight to the assertion that he
is irresponsible for his deeds due to
some physical ailment. 1t is not GER
