OUTLINES THE HISTORY
OF THE KELT|C TRIBES
Gaelic Language in ireland
and Other Topics Discussed
by James Mooney.

At meeting yesterday afternoon Of the
Anthropological Society of Washington,
held at the New National Museum, James
Mooney of the bureau of American eth
nology lectured on 1.-THE Gaelic Language
in Ireland"
Mr.. Mooney outlined the history of the
Kettle tribes of western Europe. Of whom
the Gaeis of Ireland and Scotland and
the Kymri Of Wales and Brittany are the
modern representatives. He told of their
first acquaintance with the Greeks. about
600 years before the time of Christ. and
traced their history to the time Of their
storming Rome In the year 800 B.C., this
being the earliest authentic date in
Roman history.
Allies Of Alexander the Great.
Mr.. Mooney referred to the alliance be-
tween the Keits and Alexander the
Great, and Their colonization Of Galatia
in Asia Minor, in 27S BIC, and outlined
the final subjugation Of the tribes and
the Latinizing of a .arge part OF the con-
tinent of Europe by the Romans about
the beginning Of the Christian era.
Mr.. Mooney stated that the Gaels first
appeared in Ireland approximately LOW
years before the time OF Christ. the Island
being known to the Greeks under its ma
tive name of Eire-whence comes the
modern Erin-as early as 400 years be-
fore Christ. The Gaels he said, con,
quered an earlier race. the Fribolg, ana
assianed to it's subjects separate districts
where they continued to exist as a dis
tinct people until about the sixth century
of the Christian era The lecturer dis
cussed the identity OF the Friboig with
the Pelgae of ancient Belgium and south
ern Brittany.
Alphabet of Early ireland.
The alphabet Of pre-Christian Ireland
was described, and its resemblance, In
measure. to the Morse telegraphic code
of dots and das'ses was made apparent
by the description.
The modern Gaelic alphabet Of seven
teen letters the lecturer said, is an adap-
tation from the early Latin, its letters
being named from trees and other plants.
as was the case with the Ogam. or an
Client Keltic alphabet. The ancient Ian
guage and alphabet, the speaker said, was
used until long after the coming OF st.
Patrick to Ireland, which was in the year
432. The speaker stated. however, that
the greater part of Ireland had been
Christianized long before the appearance
under the name of ST. Patrick, became
the islands patron saint.
Vicissitudes of the Race.
Mr.. Mooney outlined the vicissitudes of
Ireland and the Irish from the fall of
Limerick, in 1851, down through the years
of attempted Anglicization Of the island,
and aroused much interest by his state
ments in regard to the spread of the
Gaelic revival which set in in Ireland
about 1873, and which has brought about
the teaching of the ancient language in
5000 national schools there, as well as In
several Of the universities of the island.
Reference was made to the numerous
publications in the Gaelic language and
type now printed In Ireland and in the
United States, and it was stated that a
translatio nnto Gaelic of the "Rubaiyat"
Of Omar Khayyam has been published in
Chicago.

Railway Commissioners In
formed Thousand Are Killed
in Course of Year.

Committee reports were taken up for
discussion in detail at today's session
of the national convention of railway
commissioners. in the hearing room of
the interstate commerce commission,
and the president of the association.
Charles F. Staples, state railroad COM
missioner OF Minnesota, called various
members of the association to the chair
to permit him to meet with the MEM
bers of the executive committee for the
purpose of framing its report
The order Of business in regard to COM
mittee reports was altered today to per-
NIT of the reading and discussion of the
report of the committee on grade cross
ingS and treSpaSSing on railroads. Will
liam F. Rhea, state railroad commissioner
of Virginia, who presented the report.
was recalled to Richmond and asked leave
to introduce the report before departure.
Pointing out that there are no statistics
showing the loss OF life and the finan-
ciaI loss involved in accidents due to
grade crossings, Mr.. Rhea presented some
figures deemed interesting by the con-
vention, which were based on estimates.
Mr. Rhea said, in part:
Killed at Grade Crossings.
.It is probably safe to affirm that more
than LOCO persons are killed at grade
crossings and more han 5000 trespassers
United Safes annually. 1t is probable
also that 5000 persons or more annu-
ally are injured in such accidents and in
such trespassing.
Estimating the average value Of each
life so lost at s., ,O0O the total annual loss
of life computed in money would be
So. 100000. Assuming that the loss from
injuries would average 500 for each. per-
son injured, the loss due TO tnese injuries
would be not less than S7,OO0OOO. 1t is
altogether probable that the other purely
financial losses involved in these fatali-
ties and injuries would be as much as
the two items named.
IF these assumptions are correct the
annual loss in the United States due to
accidents at grade crossings and to tres
passing would total $38, 100000.
1.-The problem Of eliminating these fatal
tiles, injuries and losses appears. there
fore, to be an exceedingly important one.
''Trespassers can be kept off railroad
rights of way only by penal laws yigor-
ously enforced. People can commit tres,
rass upon real estate at any time, and
almost anywhere. You cannot fence them
out: and if you could along the track be-
tween highway crossings, there Is no way
to do this at such crossings.

There have been no advices from West

Grants day, has a special bird he is
preparing for the President.
Mr.. Vose always sets aside the big

Of a flock Of several thousand, and be-

framing of the platform will depend
in great measure upon the results
of the Republican national conven-
ton now in session in Chicago.
The Democratic convention nom
mates a presidential candidate by a
two-thirds vote, therefore the winner
in the convention must secure ZIG
votes. No candidate in the race has
anywhere near enough instructed
votes to secure the nomination on the
first ballot. In the order of their
strength, as indicated by the number
of delegates pledged to support them,
the leading candidates are Champ
Clark of Missouri, Woodrow Wilson Of
New Jersey, Oscar w. Underwood of
Alabama and Judson Harmon of Ohio.
. The standing of these four candi-
dates indicates their relative strength
on the first ballot in the convention
next week. Their actual strength
will not be known, however, until
after the first ballot, when about 27O

will be cast. These four favorite
sons are expected to drop out of the
contest after the first ballot, leaving
the fight to the remaining four can
didates, Speaker Clark, Governor
Wilson, Governor Harmon and Rep
resentative Underwood. While the
second ballot will probably disclose
the actual strength of these four can
didates, it will probably require a
number of ballots before the leading
candidate obtains a tWO-thirds vote
necessary to nominate. In the event
that the convention is unable to make
choice from among the leading
candidates and a deadlock ensues, one
of the other four candidates may be
named, or, what is considered even
more likely, "dark horse" may cap
ture the nomination. In connection
with the talk of "dark horse the
names of William J. Bryan and Mayor
Gaynor of New York city are most
frequently mentioned.

falo, Secretary Woodson of Kentucky

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy, Made from Gar.
den Sage, Restores Color to Gray
Hair

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as neralds of advancing age. Grey
hair, however handsome it maybe,
makes a person look old. We all
know the advantages Of being young.
Aside from the good impression a
youthful appearance makes on others
simply knowing that you are "look-
ing fit" gives one courage to under
take and accomplish things. So why
suffer the handicap of looking old on
account of gray hairs, when a simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
and color and beauty in a few days
time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand
mothers used a "Sage Tea" for keep
ing their hair dark, solft and luxur-
liant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Halt Hemedy we nave an ideal pre-
paration of Sage, combined with Sui
phur and other valuable remedies for
dandruff, itching scalp and thin,
weak hair that is split at the ends or
constantly coming out A few appli-
cations of this valuable remedy will
bring back the color, and in a short
time it will remove every trace Of
dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of the hair.
Get fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice that differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell it, un-
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded If the remedy is not exactly
as represented.
