reaching for tears in the eyes of his
audience and, presto, Mark Twain in
his palmiest days could not in one OF
his drollest sallies bring forth a more
genuine and generous outburst of
laughter.
To attempt to follow him through
the pathway of roses and brambles,
his sparkling wit and homely humor
would be worse than an attempt. a
yerbatum report of his lecture would
make splendid reading but would not
be half a picture. He is an actor--a
born Irish actor, whether best In
tragedy, drama, comedy or farce is a
question to be decided after strict
test.
He gave high tribute to music and
said that the general idea of Irish
music was that it consisted of only
jerks and jigs, and said that which
ruled the households of the Emerald
Isle was of an excellent order and as
an illustration said he would sing the
song which was his first lesson in
music as sung by his dear old mother,
now $4,000 miles away in the land be-
yond the sea, and sitting down at the
piano in order to play his own accom-
paniment, sang in good voice and with

The Power of Music.
Traced through his entire lecture
there peeped out the glistening sparks
of tenderness and love for Ireland,

music: how it would arouse the ap

"The Marseillaise Hymn" the French

German, and no other means could
ever be SO effective in peace or in
war to kindle the same holy feelings
as music.

Of the Notable
Lecture.
FATHER FLEMING's TALK

The lecture and entertainment CIV
en- last night at Knights of Columbus
hall was one of the most highly ap-
preciated addresses by a large at
tendance of any that had been pre-
sented in Keokuk this season. The
program was appropriately divided In
to two parts, the first being composed
of four musical numbers, a fitting
prelude to the splendid lecture of
Father Fleming entitled "The Land of
Music and Song" which of course
meant the land whose sons are "still
wearing the green"
Senator Edward p McManus presid-
ed, announcing the numbers on the
program and introducing the lecturer,
making occasional apt remarks in
performing his duties.
The first umber presented was a vo-
cal solo, Killarney and YOU a typical
Irish ballad of the sweetest kind and
possessed of the highest order of mel
ody. Mrs. James Furlong who sang 1t
brought out all the strength and
beauty of the words and the charming
melody
The next number was a delightful
musical gem, piano duet by the
Reidy sisters who play wonderfully
well and are fast becoming prime ia
vorites at musical entertainments.
They have exquisite touch and en-
phasize with the taste and precision
of the finished artist.
With his rich baritone John Nod
Ter gave much pleasure to the audi
ence in his singing of the Beautiful
Irish Maid pretty song, prettily
sung.
The first part concluded with "The
Last Rose of Summer always a ia.

airs, but none so beautiful as that Sc
lected for its rendering last night by

voice seemed in exact time for the

In working out the following pro-

lists to present a thoroughly enjoyable
musicale, one that will offer delight
full evenings entertainment and will
not be tiresome to those not es-
pecially verseds in music. They have
avoided the selection of heavy and
purely technical numbers and rather
have chosen those known to many and
interesting to all because OF. their.
beauty of harmony. The field of choice,
has been somewhat limited by the
necessity of accompaniment suitable
for the organ. 1t is hoped that large
number will avail themselves of the
opportunity of listening to some of

Clarke c. Fits, Esq, of Brattleboro
gave an address in Bennington the
other evening. AS Mr.. Fits is an ex-
attorney general any statistics he may
give based on his experience while
holding that Office are especially in
teresting He is reported TO have
said: THAT while he was attorney
general, he prosecuted II homicides,
and that II of them were committed
by native Vermonters of the weaken
ed stock. Sixty-fve per cent of the
serious crimes in the state and near
ly all of the viler crimes, such as
rape, incest, etc, are committed by
native Vermont stock During the
past few years there has been an in
crease of As per cent in the number of
insane, and largely from the native
Vermonters. These conditions de-
mand our full force as state and
people to meet and overcome. One
of the essentials is industrial develop
ment. Give the people, and especially
the young people, something to do
and they will not spend their time in
idleness and vile conversation that
leads to vile crimes. Vermont mon
ey, or more of it, should be invested
at home and not sent out OF Vermont
to build up other communities. On
ly a quarter of Vermont money in
Vermont savings banks is invested in
Vermont"
Here is another authority who say!
that Vermont has been and is beinl
drained of both blood and money. Tht
flower of the states young manhood
and the bulk of its money available
1 for loans are building up other states
The criminal and the poor and the de
generate criminal because they arr
poor and degenerate, are still with us
This is getting to be an old and SAT
story. If the old stock is run out II

eau of immigration supported by stat
funds and with agents among tn

plans Being Made VIII Go Into Effect
July

Boston, April All employees Of
the New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company are TO be embraced in
a pension plan to go into effect July
l, unless delayed for some unforeseen
reason.
This was decided by the directors
of the telephone company yesterday,
and unofficial announcement to that
effect was made.
Full details of the pension plan
were not disclosed because certain
minor details had not been worked
out. II was expected that these de-
tails would be completed shortly,
however.
About 10000 employees are concern
ed in the announcement, and the plan
applies to men as well as to women,
it is said Length of service is to
be considered, and there is to be pro-
vision for permissive and compulsory
retirement under certain conditions.
1t Is also said that the directors ia
vor plan under which the entire
cost of pensions will be borne by
the company, rather than the plan
adopted by some other corporations
which calls for contributions from
employees out of their wages.
This pension plan has been under
consideration upwards of a year il
connection with several other welfare
projects, one of which has been II
operation for several months. This
is an original idea of treating injured
employees entirely from the stand
point of the employers moral duty
rather than from the narrow consider
atlons of strict legal liability.
Further details of the pension plal
will be announced shortly, as sooI
as certain exhaustive studies nov
under way are completed.
