SHOT IN The new YEAR
Chief Parsons Pinchcd by Cops for
Disturbing the Peace.

Here is a story which is being told
on Harvey Parsons:
The chief of police decided to fol-
low his usual custom of making a lit
tie noise when the New Year came in.
So on last Friday night he loaded up
his sund-y shotguns and revolvers
and sat up reading Robinson Crusoe'
until the great moment should arrive
At ~ sharp the chief began firing
his guns. AT 1901, SO the story goes
the telephone rang at the police sta
ton and a mans irritated voice stated
that some one was disturbing the
peace on Huntoon and Van Buren,
streets. At 1902 the police car was
cranked up and half a dozen hand
some cops jumped in. The honor for
the first arrest of the year was at
stake.
At 1908 a. m. "Harve" was still
shooting off his big and not exactly
noiseless repeating shotgun. The po-
lice car rumbled up. The handsome
cops jumped out and bravely ap-
preached the celebrator.
You're under arrest" one of them
said. and then he recognized the fea-
lures of the chief.
On their way back to the station the
cops saw a bunch of men firing into
the air. They did not try to stop
them.

Public Meeting Under Auspices Of the
Clan-na-GaeI to Be Held Nov. %
to Do Honor to IreIand's
Martyrs.

Boston, Mass, Nov. ia public
meeting, under the auspices of the
Clan-na-Gael of Boston, will be held
here on Thursday evening, November
%, at Franklin Union Hall, on Berk-
ley street, near Dover street, to do
honor to the Manchester martyrs, Al
len, Larkin and O'Brien, and the men
and women who died for Ireland dur
ing Easter Week.
The Easter Week Rebellion has had
a tremendous effect on the Irish peo.
pie of the Bay State and has opened
their eyes to the hopelessness and fol-
ly of trying to secure anything from
England except through the medium
of physical force, the same medium
which inspired the Minute Men and
won freedom for the American Colon
les. Men have been completely won
over from the baneful policy of par
liamentarianism, and the followers of
these, who believe as Pearse and his
associates did, is growing daily.
Mr.. Luke Dillon of Philadelphia, who
has devoted his life's service to the
cause of Ireland, and Peter Golden of
New York, will be the speakers of the
occasion. There will be fine Irish
concert, for which some of the leading
artists Of the city have been engaged.

PRISONERS.

notes of an Irish clergyman setting
forth the atrocious methods of treat
ing the Irish prisoners of war who led
the rebelliOus forces.
Austin Stack and Cornelius Collins
of Tralee were kept in dark cell in
solitary confinement. They are now
serving life sentences.
Count Plunkett, an aged man, was
crowded for fourteen days into small
room holding % prisoners, some of
them wounded.
Sir Roger Easement was locked in
a cell in his wet sea clothes, while day
and night warder watched him in
silence, staring at the unfortunate
man.
Professor McNeill, noted scholar,
held in solitary confinement up to the
day of his trial. He is now breaking
rock at Dartmoor. A long list of sim.
liar atrocities is vouched for in the
cases of many other prisoners.

attached to her had happened-in the
call from the mother house in st. Paul

during that time has been in daily

AN IRISH SOLDIER A REAL PATRIOT

In the American Red Cross Maya.
zine some of Corporal Tanners hos
pital experiences are related, among
them the following:
Three beds to my right lay an Irish
man, full of good nature, with IL keen
sense OF humor, arlently devoted to
the cause of liberty the world round,
fighting from day to day and hour to
hour Il desperate but ullavailing bat
tie for life. Many a time in his witty
observations brought a smile to the
pain contorted features of those living
in the beds Immediately around him
His disposition was to see clearly tho
humOr of life and to skip over the
hard points as lightly as possible; but
less and less frequently came these hu.
mOrous outbreaks on the part of Pat.
So 1t was that one day the good priest,
who had visited him several times be-
fore, being advised by the doctor, came
into the ward, sat down by Pats bed
side, and as gently as he could broke
the dread news to him that he had
but few hours to live.
] was lying on my side, facing that
way, and had a side view of Pats
blanching face as he grasped the awful
truth. ] saw his hand steal out and
grasp that of the priest, whose own
eyes were suffused with tears; the
muscles Of his face twitched; his
breast heaved convulsively. Then he
asked:
"Will you do me a favor, fathcr?"
Certainly; what is it, Pat?"
"Turn my bed around; want to
look out Of the window"
We we're all lying on narrow hos.
pital beds, with rollers under them.
The priest arose, moved the chair in
which he had been sitting, and step.
ping to the foot Of the bed. rolled it
round so that Pat could look out of
the window, wondering, l have no
doubt, as l did, what his desire was.
But almost instantly we knew. He
desired to look at the old flag once
more, and it had been necessary to
move his bed thus in order for him to
get sight Of the Flagstaff and the
flag at the top.
l have read poems galore and lis.
tened to many orations which have
apostrophized the flag, but l have
never read or heard anything that en-.
tered the soul SO intensely as did that

Then with IL sob he turned to the

There flashed across my mind the
memory of how near akin were the
thoughts of Pat and of the Michigan
man who died near me that first night
on the floor Of the Van Pelt farm
house. When Pat had finished his
message to his wife, in softer tone
he said:

POTATO CROP failure IN IRELAND

that that morning the price had been
advanced by 30s ton. On Saturday
last, the price in Dublin was G8, and
the merchants in the country were
asking SO. On Monday the price was
raised to SO los in order to get sup.
plies from the country. AS soon as
the country merchants heard that they
raised the price by another los, so
that now it reaches the remarkable
figure Of ELL per ton. Unless the gov
ernment does something there will be
no potatoes in the city.
In statement regarding the potato
crop, Mr.. T. w. Russell said that, ow-
ing to the late harvest and the recent
wet weather, the lifting of potatoes is
proceeding somewhat slowly. In many
districts not more than half the crop
has been raised. From reports that
reach the department daily from all
parts of the country, the crop was,
said Mr.. Russell, two-thirds normal.
There is," the vice president added,
"a high. proportion of small tubers,
and a notable, but not very high, per-
centage of diseased. In some districts
the quantity and quality are good.
Generally speaking, the situation
would not be regarded as serious if
conditions were normal. The depart
ment urges that farmers should not
feed pigs with tubers suitable for hu-
man consumption or for seed, and that
they should take every opportunity of
sorting potatoes in the pits. Further,
they warn farmers against export
from districts where there is not more
than sufficient for local requirements.
The department has no power to pro-
hibit export and fix prices, but they
are in consultation with the govern.
ment on the subject"
On Saturday, October %, practically
no potatoes arrived in Dublin market,
and yesterday again the supplies were
limited, and best samples passed at
from IS to 9s Cd per hundredweight.
Potatoes are selling in Roscommon
at Is Cd to Ss per hundredweight, in
Athlone at Ss Sd to 9s, in Ballymena
at IS cd, and in Dublin at So to SO Cd.
Carrick-on-Suir Guardians cancelled
their potato supplier's contract, the
latter stating that he could not pro-
cure the required supply at any price.
Clonmel Guardians, on the motion of
Mr.. Organ, seconded BY Mr.. McEniry,
passed resolution calling attention
to the threatened shortage of food,
and suggesting convention represen-
tative of Irish interests to deal with
the matter.
