GOLD IH HER GRIPSACK.
Eae Wan Irish stud Afraid of yotliing That
Walks the Earth.
Among the passengers who recently
arrived in Philadelphia on the steam
ship 3-Shynland were about 40 pretty
looking Irish girls, whose occupations,
"erdiug to the vessel's manifest, in
ivd marina makers, cloakrSakers,
ii2operatcrs, dairymaids, draper shop
clerks and servants. They were all, ex
cepting a few, bound for the large cities
of the west, and one of the party, who
wrote her name upon the register with
out a sign of nervousness as Agnes St.
Clair Mulcrowney of Harnhead, County
Donegal, carried 2,000 in gold and $75
in United States treasury notes in a
handbag. "When the intarpreter asked
her if she were not afraid to carry so
much money with her, she promptly
replied, "I am Irish without a mixture
of the invader or palatine in my make
up and am afraid of nobody.1
"Why do you leave your native land
when you prospered soTT was the sec
cndi question put to her, and the reply
came just as promptt
"Crops are bad this season, and if I
remained" in the old land probably some
Britisk landlord might lay claim to a
partioijof my money left me by my fa
ther. So i-come to this land, which, as
I understand, affords an asylum for tha
Cppressed-of all lands."

THE DUCK DID IT.
Hew HdJ Craic Was Convicted of Poul

The cackling of geese saved ancient
Borne, but it remained for a Kansas
City duck to play an important part in
convicting a thief.
A disreputable looking duck, with a
sore head, swaggered around with a
rakish air in the chicken house of Poul
try Dealer "Wiggins at a Kansas. City
market, having for company about 50
dozen chickens, which it bullied and,
quacked defiance at.
Hpdie Craig, a white boy, 17 years
pld liying at Fifth and Cherry streets,
passed by the poultry house. Chickens
were a rare- die: ac Hojlie's house, and
ie looked so long and Jongingly at Wig

Jiis mouth o watered at the thought of
fried yellow legs that he returned that
night, and, effecting an entrance into
the poultry house, hurriedly thrust a
doses of th1 inmates into a sack. Hodie
was arrested, and on the following day
was in Justice Wall's court for triaL

chickens, aiid Hcdie seemed certain to
escape punishment- Suddenly there was
a "quack,", "quack, " and to Wiggins

the matter, and the court consigned Ho

The returns just issued by the British

months, the figures being the lowest
since IS 71. This, together with the de

erably above the average and a very ex
tensive immigration of Irish citizens
returning from America, would seem to
indicate that, in spite of the famine
which is nw declared to be imminent,
Ireland has been enjoying recently a
greater degree of prosperity than for a

A sensation has been created by the
discovery that both the Austrian and
Italian governments are busy day and

How little Kkelihoed there is of either
Russia or France joining Emperor Wil

England will be seen by the recently
issued official trade reports, which show
that more than 30 per cent of France's
foreign commerce is transacted with
Great Britain, a country which consti
tutes the market for more than a third
of the entire prodrction of France's in
dustry. No less than 32 per cent of
Russia's foreign trade is with Great
Britain, which is the best customer for
JIuscovite grain; 590,000,000 poods go
to England each year, whereas Ger
many takes only 5S.000..000 poods. It
is ridiculous, therefore, to imagine that
either France or Russia would sacrifice
its best markets and subject its staple
industries to downright ruin solely for
the purpose of satisfying a purely per

This has been the banner year for
miraculous cures at the famous shrine
of worship at Holy Hill, "Wis., and
quite recently the news of wonderful
healings gone forth with startling
frequency.
Cozens of cures have been reported
and in the chapel crutches, spectacles
and other reminders of p'hysical defects
or ailments are found in a showcase.
These have been, left as proofs of tlje
afflictions that have been cured. Many
cases might be cited, among them one
that occurred a few days ago at the end
of one of the pilgrimages which took
place recently.
Miss Anna Davlin of Dixon, His.,
who had been suffering from nervous
prostration nine years, arrived at the
shrine early in September. She remain -ed
at one of the hotels and immediately
began to visit the stations with her
sister. Her physicians had given her up
and told her she would surely die if she
made the trip to "Wisconsin. She was
unable to walk, hut began to receive
strength, day after day, resulting in a
-complete cure the day of -the Feast of
Nativity. She walked up and down the
hill twice and attended mass three
times.
There was never a year when so many
afflicted were - present as "this one,' and
at tftfs time many persons are found ev
ery day on their way to the hill, for
the season will be over when the cold
weather sets in. At the register in the
chapel names of visitors are found who
have come from all parts of the country.
Besides the pilgrims there are hun
dreds who come to view the scenery
from the summit. It is picturesque to a
degree. One is struck with wonder at
the grandeur of the panorama present
ed. Hills, ravines, lakes, rivers, log
houses, barns, farms, church steeples,
villages and cities meet the spectator's
gaze. Off to the east Lake Michigan, 25
miles distant, may be seen on a clear
day, and the tower of the new city hall
of Milwaukee, 35 miles .distant, may be
seen with a spyglass.
Hartford lies seven and one-half miles
northwest. It is to this place all Chi
cago and Milwaukee pilgrims are
brought to be Transported in buses to
the shrine of worship. Oconomowoc,
the famous summer resort, is 12 miles
southwest and Watertown lies in a
westerly direction.
Originally the hill was 20 feet high
er, but in 1S79, when the present chapel
was built, it was dug down to make a
broader base. The chapel was built at a
cost of over 20,000 and a few years
ago-was frescoed -at a cost of $1,200. It
has a seating capacity of 4Q0, and when ;
it is considered that the attendance on
some feast days averages between 3,000 j
and 5,000 it will be readily seen that j
the edifice is too small to accommodate i
the crowds that throng the hill every j
year.
. !
Near the church cn the south side is
a bell tower, and 25 feet south of the
bell tower is a, grotto which was erected
this summer by a Chicago man at a cost
of $300. It was-tcently dedicated and
represents the original grotto of Our
Lady of Lourdes, the famous shrine of
worship in France, which sprang into
prominence on account of its supposed
curative properties in 1S58. On one side
is the Virgin and on the other the shep
herd girl, Bernadette, to whom the ap-
a cave 01. scone ana in uie loregrouna is
a - t f - i
a fountain. Some of the pilgrims bottle
the water and have the priests bless it.
The chapel is used only on spvrial oc
casions. No funerals or marriage cere
monies have been conducted in it. The
following feast days are observed regu
larly at the hill by the priests of the
neighboring parishes :
May 24 The titular feast of the
church termed Feast of St. Mary, Help
of Christians.
June 17 Feast of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus.
July 2 Feast of the Visitation of tho

of their fellow citizens, who deserted by
the wholesale in every ship that stopped
at the island. For a number of years
efforts- have been made by the inhabit
ants of the island, to induce visiting
traders and sailors to remain. The pick
of a wife was one of the inducements
held out. A story went the rounds some
time ago that a boat from Easter island
in command of a gray bearded old man
and with a crew of young women in
tercepted a ship and held out the prom
ise of a happy and prosperous career to
any man who would return with them.

gave a remarkable illustration of what
the erratic fluid can accomplish. Major
Jameson, who was picking mushrooms
in an open meadow, was found, face
downward, almost denuded. There wa;
only one vivid flash, and it must have
been this, the coroner's jury decided,
which killed him. One of the man's
boots was torn from the foot and hurled
some yards away. The other boot, torn
into bits, was scattered around Major
Jameson's cap, shirt, undershirt and
trousers were in fragments. The light
ning struck him on the head, and pass
ing downward tore a hole in the ground
18 inches in circumference and 3
inches deep. A gold watch in the man's
pocket stopped at 5:10 o'clock. The
glass was pulverized and. the works

the manufacturers fill their shops with

Inherited blood diseases are rrraci
more. diScalt to cere tTra-n those which
are acquired. One of the most comxaor
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which

A child afiicted with Scrofula & always

Mrs. S. S. Mahry, 360 Him St., Macon,
Ga, writes:
"My boy, Charlie inherited a scrofu
lous blood taint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that it was impossible to
dress him for three years.
Head, and body were a mass
of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve

remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
I had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by tne advice ol a inend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specific), and
at first the inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcarg it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided im
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozen bottles, no one wno
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized hfm. All tne
sores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect h 22.1th.'
Mr. A. T. Morgan, one of the promi

of the board of aldermen of that city,
says: "I am familiar with the terrible
condition of little Charlie Mahry, and
the cure which S.S.S. effected in his
case was remarkable, and proves it to
be a wonderful blood remedv."
