Phiadel phia..--Charlie Doom is
another veteran of the big leagues
who is likely to be welcomed back
this season. Doom recently re-
ported that he is in first class
shape and believes that he can
help out in fast company this year
and it seems probable that several
major league managers will be
glad to sign him up
At the close of the 1914 season
Red" left the Phillies as manager
and wen to the Cincinnati Reds
and thence to the Giants. with
whom he finished the 1915 season.
bum knee made him of little
value to the Giants and he was
passed on to the minors, where he
played part of the season following
and then retired.
Plenty of treatment and a long
rest have put Doom in better shane
than when he last appeared on the
big league lots and since there is a
demand for sprightly veterans this
year he is preparing to start spring
training. Red" played with the
Phlliies - seasons and he is now
50 years old He caught for Rock
Island in 1899 when Harry Sage
was manager here.

On account of insufficient time to

number of cases ticket agents and con-
ductors will be required to calculate
the charges, by the use of tables, and
much additional time to do this will
be required.

it's patrons and suggests all travellers
to call at the ticket office considerably
in advance the departure of trains
This will save much confusion and in
convenience
Every precaution has been taken
to fully inform all agents and conduc-
tors but it will doubtless suggest itself
to every one that it will require some
time for all railway employees to ia

tons and we indulge the hope that
every one will accept any delays and
temporary inconvenience, inicidene to
the many changes, beginning Monday,

French Revolution. This was the Uni ted Irish Society, which believed not only in absolute religious tolerance, but believed in the economic emanci- patton as well. Many of the leaders of that movement were free thinkers, and the United Irish Society developed a purer and more earnest patriotism than ever existed before or since in the Kingdom of Ireland. The headquarters were devided between Dublin and Bel fast and even Trinity College in Dub lin was hotbed of revolutionary ideas which believed not only in freedom in theory, but freedom, mental and physi- cal, in the reality of life.
 To hear some of the present day spellbinding spouters exhaust their knowledge about these things one would imagine that the men who led this movement, whether the Belfast men or the Dublin men were actuated by the sickly thing, that today passes muster for the nationalist asperations of the country. But that is because the influence of the French revolution has been completely overlooked.
 Robert Emmet, joined the United Irish Society while d student in Trinity College and was expelled for his con- nection with it. In that university he had some distinguished School-mates among whom were Thomas Moore who aft-rW ards, wrote some dolorous la mcnrs upon his sad fate and upon the lot of his sweetheart Mary Curran. Most everybody has heard or req of his eloquent speech from the dock, Is authenticity is doubted.
 We know today that several utter ;nccS made therein were delivered bJ' E.mmet. History teMs us that his visit to France and the evidence of an ap- preaching autocracy made him sus- picious of that country, and that he undoubtedly repudiated the idea of his ever seeing Ireland an appendage of France. Emmet was heart and soul a revolutionist. He believed that Ireland as q nation separate and distinct could work out it's own destiny, and it is positively known that he determined to rely upon the "sansculottes'' of his na- tive land to effect it's freedom. It is righly probable that incidents connect ed with the trial were colored by sen was well calculated to arouse the emo- tions

Today will be celebrated near and young Irish revolutionist who failing in an effort to capture Dublin Castle and giving away to the overmastering passion, which was his for his sweet heart Mary Curran, was taken prisoner and sentenced by Lord Norburg to be hung drawn and quartcred, as the Christian civilization of the United Kingdom, provided for all who are guilty of High Treason against the realm.
 Emmet lived during and felt the in- fluence of the American and French jean revolution seemed to make a much greater impression in Ireland, than in any other part of the European cOnti- nent. Naturally enough it was far from being a proletarian revolution. The fact is that some of the noblest patriots who took part as the agSres- sive volunteers were shack-renters of the worst possible type, with an ideal of liberty confined exclusively to their own aristocratic class. The sordid misery of the Irish peasantly, cruelty exploited by a dcbauched and spend thrift hndlordism was none the less horrible because these spenlthrft land- lords were patriots" of the advanced type. The movement was a middle class movement conducted in the in terests of Irish trade which suffered severely at the hands of the British restrictive laws. And even though that movement triumphed and England's difficulty proved Ireland's opportunity, the amount of praise lavished upon the lords and aristocrats wha helped it are altogether unwarranted.
 But the movement gave birth to an other and a totally different one. For upon that movement Was giafted the thoughts and hopes and ideals of the

He defended himself in a speech of remarkable eloquence, but was con- demned to death, and on September 20, 1903, was executel in St Thomas Street, Dublin. Moore, in one of his most pathetic of his Irish melodies, 70 breathe not his name, commem- orates Emmet's fate; and that of Miss Curran, who died in Sicily soon after him, is the subject of another, "She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps"
 Although it must be allowed that the conduct of Emlnet in ris revolu- tionary attempt was rash and mistaken, the high purity and unselfishness of his intentions have never been questioned.
