At a Joint meeting of the Rock Island

Mems association last evening in the

very little difficulty met in realizing
the needed sum. 1t is the wish of the
donors of the endowment fund that the

Eight Catholics Elected for England.

.'S"s Sos'0''So @'oStSu ioi cu9'dnu'
In the new House of Commons,
elected at the recent elections in
Great Britain, eight Catholics were
elected for constituencies in Eng
land. Their names and the districts
for which they were elected are: Mr..
T. P. O'Connor, Liverpool, Scotland
division; Mr.. Jas. O'Grady, East
Leeds; Sir Ivor Herbert, South Mon
mouthshire; Mr.. Rowland Hunt, Lud-
low; Major Archer Shee, Finsbury;
Lord Ninian Crichton Stuart, Cardiff; !;
Lord Edmund Talbot, Chichester; Mr..
j. F. Hope, Central Sheffield
No Catholic was elected in Scot
land, nevertheless large majority of
the Scotch members are staunch
friends and supporters of Home Rule
for Ireland, whereas five of the eight
Catholics elected in England-all of
the above named except Messrs.
O'Connor, OGrady and Sir Ivor Her.
bert-are Tories and staunch oppon-
ents of Ireland's national claim. This
last mentioned fact will be regarded
by many as characteristic English
Catholic gratitude to Ireland for the
many services to Catholic interests in
England rendered by the Irish Par
liamentary Party.

The young man considered a mo.

entirely to Mrs. Bullion"
"Um! And what is the amount Of

almost universal. The Egyptian harp
had no front pillar, it's frame being
in outline something like an elongat-
ed capital c. This allowed the up
right stringing of the instrument, in
curious contrast to the Persian form,
which. being simply wooden L, ne
cessitated a diagonal stringing. Per
haps the earliest representation of
an Irish harp occurs at the old church
of Ullard, in the County of Kilkenny.
1t is a rude carving in one of the
arms of sculptured cross, said to
date from a period anterior to the
year 800, and the sculptor has por-
trayed one OF the bards seated and in
the act of playing. But the form of
the harp resting on the knee is an
exact counterpart of the letter E, it's
six strings being attached to the up
per and lower limbs. This is certain
ly difficult fact for those who con-
tend that ireland gave the harp to all
the European nations. For the alb
senoe of the front pillar in the three
instances given clearly suggests a
common origin, as it points to COM
mon development toward the later
triangular form. The Welsh harp is
of this shape and is in all likelihood
coeval with Its HiDernian neighbor,
though 1t is not encrusted with so
many fabulous stories. The early
irish writer's have so exalted the
harp as the national symbol that one
might suppose it to be literally native
to the Emerald Isle. But it's history
in all times and countries shows that
ireland can maintain no such claim.
The harp, from remote antiquity, has
belonged to the civilized world. It's
cradle was in the East, and, in vari-
Gus forms, it gradually made its way
among the nations of Europe.
But, though Ireland did not give
birth to the harp, no one has ever
disputed her genius for handling it.
Not to be capable of sweeping it in
a mastery manner was deemed a dis
grace even to royalty" This, how
ever, was not solely an Irish feeling,
but that Of almost every people
among whom the harp tiourished. In
mediaeval times it was regarded as
fto 1Yir ~f iny yf,.,1r o,,fc
chiefly because no other provided such
an effective accompaniment for the
voice. The national feeling aroused
by it was nowhere expressed more
strongly than in Ireland, and the
cloud of legends, traditions and an
cient superstitions which in this coun-
try seem specially to cling to it are
it's peculiar but very natural heritage.
There is the famous story of the
Irish harp whose strings all burst to-
gether with noise like thunder the
moment its venerable owner passed
away. This legend has taken deep
root in Irish soil, but form OF it is
found in most countries where the
harp has ever gained any real inf1u-
ence. From the earliest ages it has
been the soul and symbol OF song.
Its music has almost universally been
welded to words, and this is the real
secret Of it's memorial power. The
Irish language movement" is gain
ing ground, but whether modern Ire
land
"Will learn to love the tongue
In which its songs were sung"
is a question which only the future
can answer.

"T met a queer old woman charac-
ter on the train between here and
Buffalo one morning" remarked Po-
lice Judge McGannon when talk had
drifted around to queer people n
meets. "She was travelling with her
grown son, whom l had met in the

/ got talking with the old lady. She
spoke of several people she knew
here in Cleveland.

James Fl. Soandso?" l asked her
casually, Judging from something she
had said that she did know him.
"She gave me a strange sort of a
look. WE'LL she replied, I don't
know whether to say l know that
man or not. He's a queer sort, you
understandable kind of a al that
nobody really knows. Why, was
married to James Soandso, and lived
with him for four years, but | never
felt that l was really acquainted with
him.
"And the funny part Of it," added
McGannon, was the woman was in
deadly earnest about it. She didn't
make the remark by way of springing

Washington, D. C.-The island of

held by the Honduran reyo~lutionists,
according to cable advices received
at the state department, from Ameri-
a Consul Dawson at Puerto Cortez.
The United States gunboat Tacoma is
investigating and will protect Ameri-

1t is evident from the dispatch that
the revolutionists have not begun
their work on the mainland. Mr..
Dawson says the governor at Puerto
Cortez reports quiet in the interior,
and that no revolutionary activity ex-
lists in that neighborhood.
The Hornet is reported at Ruatan,
according to information sent to the
department by American Minister Nc
Creery.
The United States gunboat Dolphin,
which received orders a few days ago
to make ready for a cruise to the
West Indies, will go first to Honduras
and assist in the policing of the At
lantic coast of that country in con-
nection with the impending revolu-
ton there.
The Dolphin has been undergoing
repairs and is expected to sail within
a few days.

Sir John Fisher. When Sir John was
at the head Of the British admiralty
he was most inaccessible. One day an

not take mo" for an answer. Finally
a secretary went into Sir Johns Of

los Angeles, Cal.-The grand
jury in the Los Angeles Times
explosion Ease returned % indict-
ments. All the indictments charge
murder. 1t is not likely the names Of
any of the indicted will be made pub
lie until after arrests have been made.
1t is believed many San Franciscoans
are among the accused.
Wholesale murder, the outcome of q
dynamite plot, is understood to be the
charge set forth in all the indict-
ments, but it is believed not more
than three or four men are named in
the true bills.
The return of the indictments was
the elimination of a disaster that ex-
cited the people of Los Angeles to a
degree that for a few days bordered
almost upon panic, and resulted in
the offering of rewards aggregating
almost 100000.
Opposite Theories Advanced.
Union labor, which the Times and
its proprietors had opposed, was in
jected into the situation, and when
the special grand jury was impaneled,
October rs, it was confronted with
two conflicting theories. One of these,
supported by the findings of an inves-
tigating committee appointed by May
or Alexander, was that the Times
plant had been blown up by dynamite
conspirators. The sther, presented by
a committee named by the State
Building Trades convention, then
meeting in Los Angeles, was that gas
vas responsible.
More than 40 witnesses, the major.
ity Of them identified with the union
labor movement, were summoned from
San Francisco and other cities. In
addition, labor union officials were
summoned. In all, the grand jury ex.
amined more than 200 persons, who,

it was the work Of Spanish govern

The dredge brought up several g.

and a portion of the coal bunkers,
lying apart from the ship, which is
considered by naval authorities as pos
sibly confirmatory of an external ex-
plosion under the bunkers.
This, however, cannot be verified
