HOME RULE.

The first great figure in IreIand's long struggle for home rule was Hen ry Grattans who was born in Dublin 164 years ago to-day. With every thing to gain by becoming the tool of the British ministry, he was unf1inch- ing in his advocacy of the indepen- dence of his country. A Protestant in religion, he was as willing to fight for the rights of Catholics as for those of his own religious party. He raised an army of s0,0O0 volunteers and in 1TS2 forced the repeal of the statute of George I, which enacted that the crown of Ireland was insep- arably connected with that of Great Brftains that Ireland was bound by acts of the British Parliament when named therein; that the Irish House of Lords had no Jurisdiction in mat ters of repeal, and that the last resort in all cases of law and equity was the British House Of Lords. The Irish Parliament voted him a house and lands and $25O,0 600 for securing this concession. After the union was car ried Grattan entered the House of Commons, where he continued to up hold Ireland's interests. He died in London in 1920.

THEN...... and. NOW

Sevenfy-ffve years ago to-day the first state normal school in the United States was opened in Lexington, Mass. The parIor of a boarding house was the cradle of this educational system. In those days it was thought that school 'sto teach teachers how to teach'' was needless expenditure of time and money. Unable to secure state aid, the pioneers accepted mon- ey offered by Edmund Dwight. who la ter became conspdcuousIy identdhed with the new educational movement. The first class, consisting of five girls
 had the Rev. Cyrus Pefrc eoR Nan tucket as it's teacher. At the end of the first year the Academy. had tYveu- ty-fve studentS-au girls. fsIt had demonstrated it's worth so thoroughIy that the legislature voted by a large majority to appropriate sufficient funds to establish it as permanent adjunct to the educational system.

CUBAN BEEs CANNOT STING.

The native bee Of Cuba, unlike the American honey bee, has no stingar and can be hand1ea without fear. AA A merican apiarist in a Pinar del Rio town imported some American bees recently, says The Times of Cuba, and, because of their superior armament. they soon became masters Of the sur rounding sweetness, much to the dis gruntlement of the native honey rais- CT. The American bees stung their rivals to death, carrying off the stored honey in triumph.

"AM ON THE TRAIL OF
SLAYER . SAYS BURNS
Detective Sure He Will Clear Element
of Mystery in Mary Phasan
Murder Case.
TRACKS PLAIN" HE DECLARES

Atlanta, March 1S-William j. Burns
rapidly is approaching a climax In his
investigation Of the murder of Mary
Phagan, according to a statement he
made todaN Burns declared there is
no question he win be able to clear the
element of mystery that has surrounded
the case since tho beginning.
EVERY criminal leaves a track. some
trace of his operations that points to
him as unerringly as would the blood
stained finger Of mis- victim. In some
cases the track is palmer and the trail
easier to follow than in others, but In all
Of them the track Ii there" said Burns.
I'm this case find that the murderer
left plain tracks. I have found the trail
and my work will be to FOLLOW II to Its
conclusion, where 1t will find the muir
derer.
Notwithstanding the various charges
that have been made. / think Solicitor
General Dorsey has been absolutely
honest in this case. and I tell you he
never would have prosecuted a man he
did not thoroughly believe to be guilty.
But, however keen or smart a man may
be. his vision is liable TO he distorted
Mr.. Burns declared that he considered
as very important the evidence which
II. +. Baker. now OF New York, formerly
is reported as being able to give. Baker
is ready to testify regarding the paper
on which one Of the notes was written
that II was a piece OF trash paper which
had been used months before the murder.

TELLS WHAT SUFFRAGE
In DISTRICT WOULD DO
Michael |. Weller Points Out Ad-
vantases in Addressing Study
Club in Economics.

Following are a few extracts from
a speech by Michael ]. Weller before
the Study Club in Economics at the
Public Library last evening, In which
he advocated suffrage for the District
of Columbia:
IF the people were running the Dis
triCt government they would have
found a wayro avoid closing the night
and trouble to attend night school GER
shame to deprive him or her of a
chance.
The lights would not have been
turned OF in southeast Washington to
max" more current for the Avenue of
the Presidents. And yet people com
planned OF the high cost OF living and
cIamored for our farmers to bring their
produce right to their doors, as the
Commissioners darkened the highways
so that farmers couldn't see to follow
the roads.
We would have free water. The idea
Of being compelled to pay water tax
with the Potomac River running right
through the city
I'VE would not have Increased the Com
missioners' salaries without putting city
laborers on a living wage.
I'VE would have better officials simply
bccausr elected and not appointed. No
appointee Is as good as a man who Is
elected by the people. I don't care what
others may say
We would see that no one or two
members of Congress did anything con-
trary 10 the will OF 10000 residents"

HALF MILLION FOR CARE
OF MEXICAN REFUGEES

The Senate yesterday passed the
urgent deficiency bill carrying Sl0.SiS,-
OON. including $5Nn,OOo for the transporta-
tion and care Of Mexican military refu-
gees IN the United States.
TIE S5O0,O0o will be available for use
only in caring for military refugees. An
amendment TO this effect was incor-
porated in the bill during its discussion
yesterday. Senator Lodge pointed out
that under The Hague convention OF 1907
TO which the United States is a sigma
tory, this country is required to disarm
and inferno troops which come across
the border, but that it is under no obli-
cation whatsoever to care for the civil
ian refugees.
Debate brought out the fact that 5 a
Mexican are interned in the United
States and are being fed at the expense
OF the government. OF this number l,6lJ
are women and children. The $jOGOOO is
expected to care for refugees until July
l. For this purpose s236,OOO of the sum
already has been spent.

DARTS and SPARKS
ny ANDREW =. O'CONOR.

rcfere" WAS called upon to ofiiciate in a
tCn-rUund contest between Corbett and
Sharkey. which was held in New York
during tho palmy days OF the Horton
law. Corbrtt was winning eRsily. and TO
Use the language of the turf. he was SO
far ahead that hc looked lonesome"
For some unexplained reason. Jim Nc
Ncy. who was scconding Corbett. rushed
across the ring while the men were box
ing. when Sharkcy WAS so bcfuddlcd that
ne could not have found his own corner.
Presto. Honest John KELLEY immedI-
ately awarded the contest to Sharkey on
a foul on the grounds that 'McNey had
violated the rules by entering the ring.
What brought about this sudden re
Ner>al "f form on the part Of Honest
j I'M has never been explained to the
satisfaction Of sportsmen who witnessed
his performances in both events. His
act however. had much to do with caus-
ing the repeal of the Horton law.
Along about that time Kid Mccoy was
| looming large on the pugilistic horizon.
| and sought ? match with Tom Sharkey.
which was Immediately staged. Tim
Hurst was the referee. The bout went
along AT a lively rate until Mccoy COM
r-enced to feel the jarring. then he i'm
mediately curled up like worm on a
red-hOt coal. and loudly screamed that
he had been fouled.
Tim Hurst, who had eyes where eyes
ought to be. put the toe of his shoe un-
der Mccoy, and said: Get up and take
ICur licking you yellow mutt"
From that time to the finish, which
came soon afterwards. Mccoy was look
ing for soft spot upon which to fall:
which he finally found.
The writer has been closely identified
v It'll boxing for more than quarter Of
n century. and cannot remember when
boxing clubs were ever more poorly
| managed than at present. This is large
ly due to the partisan politics which are
responsible for the selection OF boxing
commissioners.
The Ardmorc Club. which will stage
several bouts tonight, while making no
pretense TO national importance. is better
managed than many of the clubs which
are operated by hiEhly-paid alleged eN-
Pc rts. Go out tonight and see for your
self. and enjoy an evening with the box
ers. whose lack Of championship caliber
is balanced by rugged honesty and will
ingness to perform faithfully.
