LADY GERHARD

Public pleasure gardens, so popu-
lar in Europe, particularly on the
continent, for years before the war,
had great sponsor and patron in
Lady Gerard, friend of John Evelyn.
The latter records in his diary how
the lady treated" a party at one of
these public gardens. His diary says:
MY lady Gerard treated us at Null
berry Garden, now the only place of
refreshment about the town for per-
sons of the best quality to be cheat
ed at" (They did that sort of thing
even in those days). This entry ap-
pears in the diary for May 10, 1854.
Evelyn complains that Cromwell had
seized and shut up Spring Garden,
which up to that time had been the
gathering place for. the fashionables
of London. and a place of rendezvous
for the ladies and their ga1lants. Also
Evelyon on this date makes mention
of the fact that women began to
paint themselves which had former
ly been regarded as most lignomi-

BURNING UP FOOD

Every few days one reads in some
newspaper that a car of potatoes on
some remote side track has been
burned, or that a grain warehouse
has been destroyed by fire. All ac-
cidenta1, of course.
1t will strike lots of people that
car loads of potatoes are too valu-
able property to be left lying alone
on remote sidings There are people
among us who have an interest in
having these potatoes destroyed.
Also a grain elevator is a part of
our military preparation. There
should be guards around all these re-
serves of foods under present condi-
tions.
In some places officers are guard
ing public buildings, the destruction
of which would not be of the least
military advantage to our enemies.
Meanwhile the food stocks on which
cure national safety depends are left
unmatched. The railroads that are
transporting these commodities
should be held responsible for the
protection of this vital property in
transit

Ida Leventhal, Russian, "a years,

The above mentioned ladies took
their corners yesterday morning in
the corridor of the house in which
they live at 1887 State street, to fight
to finish. The battle opened by
both refusing to shake hands and
they fell in clinch.
To use a term common in pugi1istic
circles sin fighting themselves out of
the clinch" hands full Of hair came
out of their heads. The belligerents
could not seem to come to a decision
with fists so they obtained milk bot
ties which they broke on each other.

com batants The police were called
and gathered the strands of hair ly-

The defendants were women of con-

and Judge Frank Wilder was asked
this morning to determine who had
won the fight and who was to blame.
A crowd in the courtroom, composed

couple assembled to hear the case.
Mrs. Leventhal took the stand and
told that she had an argument at the
circus grounds last Monday with Mrs.

good deal but told little.

The "Wild Geese" of
Erin at Fontenoy

Irish valor has been proven the
world over and never more than in
the present war Wherever brave
deeds were to be done you will find
Irishmen to- have been in the fore
front. One of the brightest pages in
Erins military history is the battle
of Fontenoy. Tomorrow will see the
172nd anniversary of that great strug-
gle in which the wild Geese" .as
the members of the Irish Brigade in
the service of the French King were
known, covered themselves with ever
lasting glory. On that day in the
year 1745 the Irish were fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the French.
Opposed to them in the war of the
Austrian succession were the English
the Hanoverians, the Dutch and the
Austrians, under the command of the
Duke of Cumberland. Then as now
Belgium was the cockpit of Europe
The opposing armies were drawn up
along the Scheld, near Tourney, with
the village of Fontenoy as the French
center. The brilliant Marshal Sake
commanded the French and their
Irish allies The brave commander
was even then suffering from the ILL
ness which later caused his death and
during the engagement was carried
about in a litter. Although the Irish
won the victory at Fontenoy, they
shared their glory with their Eng
fish opponents. The King of France
and his heir witnessed the terrible
struggle, which at one time seemed
to turn definitely against the French.
The French line was protected by 10
pieces of artillery, so as to rake the
enemy with cross and converging
fires. The Duke of Cumberland or
dered his men to attack the right and
left wing of the French. and him
self headed 10000 English foot SOL
diers and advanced on the French
center. The cannon of the French
rained death and destruction on the
advancing British, but they marched
steadily on. The pick of the French
cavalry, flung against the advancing
tide made no impression. The Brit
ish column, Cumberland at its head,
hacked its way to the French center
and pierced it. The attacks on the
French f1anks failed and Cumberland
was left to hold his hard won posi-
ton without assistance. Marshal
SAKE even disparied and, believing
the day lost, advised the French king
and his heir to flee.
All this time the Irish brigade had
been kept in the rear. As a last re-
sort they were loosed upon the Eng
fish, after a, terrific cannon fire had
raked CuInberland's column. With
wild cheers the wild geese charg-
ed. The English held their fire until
the Irish were almost upon them, and
then fired point black volley. Scores
| of Irishmen fell but the rest kept on
charging The exhausted British SOL
dierS were in no condition to with
stand such an assault. Slowly and
doggedly, contesting every inch of
ground. they fell back, until at last
they were driven to their own lines.
! Then the Irish much against their
will. were withdrawn for Marshal
Sake thought to highly Of that British
column to risk a further advance. The
| day was saved for the French, thanks
to the valor of the Irish, but it was at
a cost of 10000 men, while the oppos-
ing side lost even heavier.

The American
Federation of Labor
By John Bush

Of this great organization much
has been said both good and bad
but half the good has never been
told. Any man belonging to an or
ganization affiliated with this body
can and should feel proud. Though
confronted with the greatest problems
that ever met human intelligence it
has vindicated humanity in every
struggle in which it has been en-
gagged.
Has it not been identified with all
that is noble in the history of the
world?
Has it not achieved all the priv
ileges it enjoys today through bu-
siness ability, integrity, square deal
ing, energy and invincible determina-
ton?
Though thousands look upon it with
a sneer and point the finger of scorn,
it has always stood for the right,
though right be on the gallows
and wrong sat upon the seat of
government.
The American Federation of Labor
stands as one of the most potent
factors in our country in defence of
the right of free assemblage, free
speech and free press. 1t invites all
classes of wage earners under one
head, with the one object in view
that class, race, creed, political and
trade prejudices may be abolished
and that moral and financial support
may be given to all.
The American Federation of Labor
establishes intercommunication, crea-
tes harmony and educates, not only
the workers, but the educators. 1t
seeks to cultivate mutual interest,
and to secure effective action, and
to announce to the world the wrongs
and burdens which the toilers have
too long endured.
This great organization fosters
education and uproots ignorance,
shortens hours and brightens the
pathways of life. 1t raises wages
and lowers usury, increases independ-
ence and decreases dependence, devel-
ops manhood and balks tyranny,
discourages selfishness and establishes
fraternity, induces iberality and re-
duces prejudices, creates rights and
abolishes wrongs, lightens toll and
brightens man, makes the workshop
safe and brighter, cheers the home
and fireside and makes the world
better.
The success of this organization,
like all other great ones, depends, to
a great extend, upon it's officers and
in their selection has been exceedingly
fortunate in choosing men who are
we'll adapted to meet all requirements
with success; and their activity,
courage and determination has sue
cessfully carried it through many
trying periods.
In the crisis of the present the
eyes of the world are turned to Wash
ington and to President Wilson and
to the worlds greatest labor leader,
the president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, Samuel Gompers.
