GAELIC LEAGUE OFFICIALS
HERE FOR TOUR OF YEAR
Thomas Ashe and Dairmuid Lynch
Aim to Restore Language, Cos
tunes and Customs.

NEW YORK. February "a = Thomas
Ashe and Dairmuid Lynch. officials of the
Gaelic League in Ireland, have arrived
here for a tour of the country in the in
terest of the league. Their plans include
a lecture tour OF the United States,
which probably will occupy a year.
The primary object. Mr.. Lynch said to-
day. is to interest their countrymen in
the restoration of the Irish language to
general use in ireland. At present it is
taught in the National University in
Dublin, but the league wishes to bring
about its introduction into all the schools
Of the country. II home rule wins in
Ireland, Mr.. Lynch explained. 1t is ex-
pected that educational matters will be
left largely in the hands of the Irish. and
II is to be able to take advantage of
that condition that the league is making
the present campaign.
In. addition to restoring the Irish Ian
guage the Gaelic League hopes to carry
the work further and will strive to revive
Irish songs and the adoption OF the old
Irish costumes. Also customs to such an
extent that the Irish will be considered
a distinct and separate people, with an
individuality of its own.

was given on two or three occasions

SUICIDE BY HANGING
IN ASYLUM HOSPITAL
Ling Hing, Chinese Laundryman,
Takes His Own Life While
Mentally Unbalanced.

Ling Hing. a Chinese laundryman, who
formerly was employed at 325 Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest, this morning
committed suicide at the Washington
tAsylum Hospital by hanging himself
with a piece of muslin.
About a month ago the Chinaman's
brother took him to the hospital and left
him there to be treated for disease
from which he long had been a sufferer,
it is stated. and early this month the
patient displayed signs of mental trouble.
Suffered From Delusions.
Hing imagined enemies were pursuing
hospital report and then he seemed to
fear they would not kill him. He told
other patients that he was anxious to
take his own life.
This morning about o'clock a nurse
and an orderly were in the ward, admin
wants of the patients. They saw Hing,
who was the only Chinamau in the
psychopathic section, moving about the
ward.
Found Hanging in Washroom.
Twenty minutes later one of the
patients reported that the Chinaman was
hanging from the tank in the wash
room. One of the orderlies went to the
room and cut down the body.
In another ward of the hospital was
Lee Git, a cousin of the suicide, and
when told of what had happened he
seemed to be sorrow-stricken and hur-
ried to a telephone and notified other
relatives. These relatives said they
would take charge of his body. The de-
ceased was married and his wife and
one child, it is said. are in China.
Coroner hewitt, after an investigation,
gave q certificate showing that Ling
Hing was irresponsible when he took
his life.

Mrs. Ffske returned to the Columbia

It would be useless to single out by
name the members of Mrs. Fiske's COM
pany who presented their parts with dis
tinction. To do so would be to mention
every name on the program. They fitted
into the Long Island home Of wealth. in
which the scenes of the play are pre-
